people portraying ghost as an abusive, cold-hearted and emotionless person is actually so sad... did we even play the same game? he obviously cares about soap and his other teammates
at this point just say y'all don't understand traumatized people. having trauma doesn't always make a person act horrible towards others, ghost is just very blunt and probably has issues with trusting people
but still, he's actually really nice to soap, throughout the campaign he's making lots of jokes and calling him "johnny". only he calls him that. also he literally put his military career on hold to help his brother quit drugs, even though he was bullied by him when they were kids
do you really think that same man would let himself treat others like shit when he spent his whole childhood being abused? he would hate himself if he did that, because then he would be just as horrible as his father
so for the love of god stop acting like he's some monster that hates everyone around him π yeah, it might take him a while to warm up to people but that's expected considering what he went through
Being genuinely anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, etc. means that you're that way across the board, no matter who is doing it. You don't whitewash the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism just because they weren't "white" in an American sense (and in Japan's case, buy into their own propaganda, as they used the specter of Western imperialism to justify what they did to other East Asian/Pacific countries). You don't make excuses for modern Russia trying to take over Ukraine or other sovereign nations in Eastern Europe. If you truly believe in self-determination then it doesn't matter who is trying to prevent that. This shouldn't be hard, right?
βThose poor boysβ
βShe deserves to be punished too.β
βIβm not saying I support rape, but-β
βSorry to say - she deserved it.β
βShe put herself in harmβs wayβ
βBut if she was fingered, then thatβs not rape.β
βShe ruined their lives.β
In ainβt one to draw a perspective grid and then place figures in it; itβs never worked for me. So hereβs my method!
α( α )α πππππ’! don't repost <3 one piece wallpapers.
One of my favorite metaphors of Glass Onion is the Mona Lisa vs the Glass Onion.
Miles is constantly comparing himself, whether directly or indirectly, to the Mona Lisa. He wants to be βforever remembered in the same breathβ as her. He plays up the mystery and the complexity of the painting, the artistry, the skill and the knowledge that went into it; All traits that he wants others to see in him.
But when Miles is describing the painting, who gets the closeup shot? Not Miles, but Helen. Helen is the one who gets multiple shots throughout the movie mirroring the Mona Lisa- same pose, same unreadable expression.
Because Miles isnβt the Mona Lisa, however much he wishes he was. Miles is the Glass Onion. Something trying to look complex and layered on the outside, when in reality, the center is in plain sight. Miles isnβt some enigmatic genius, he is exactly what he appears to be at first glance: an idiotic, rich, egotistical, shithead.
He didnβt make his own puzzles, he didnβt write his own murder, he didnβt create his own art, he didnβt even come up with the idea for his company. His island is filled with things made by other people. He isnβt even the person who did the thing that will forever connect him to the Mona Lisa. The thing that will forever tie him to Helen Brand.
Helen is the one with complexity. Helen is the one surrounded by mystery. Helen is the one whoβs more than meets the eye. Helen is the Mona Lisa, and the Mona Lisa destroyed herself to take down Miles Bron.
Reverse is appealing as well
This is worse, in its way, than the pornbots.
Here's something that turned up in my ask box just now.
...So. You've all seen these. Some of them are genuine. Lots aren't.
Here's where their message leads:
...Okay. The first warning sign: this account is about 3 days old.
But the second: searching on the details of the plea for help via Google, what do we find but...
...Poor Macaroni has repeatedly been hit by cars, and has repeatedly suffered busted femurs, since 2015.
"This," as the saying goes, "starts to look like carelessness." :/
Taking advantage of the kindness of strangers this way is vile... and plainly there's no shortage of people willing to indulge.
So: yeah, I'll be delighted to help the OP get some more traction on this! You betcha. By:
Blocking. Reporting. Reporting to PayPal as well. And dropping @staff a note, when I have a moment. Because allowing this stuff to prosper here just invites more people to try it on. :/
...Pass the news around, friends. ("And call it Macaroni.")
wouldn't gliding be faster? || leoon || minor || i make art and i now play genshin ;D
