One of these is accurate for me, plz tell me I'm not alone
So you know how most people have some kind of thing that stays with them with all their life? And it usually ends up guiding them to their career path?
For example:
Art can lead to sculpting, animating, commission work, etc.
Video games can lead to coding, video game design, YouTube/Twitch, etc.
Making other people laugh/smile can lead to entertainment, medical work, psychology, etc.
Conducting “experiments” can lead to Chemistry, Engineering, etc.
They’re things that usually start early in childhood and persevere throughout your life, no matter how many other phases or hobbies you go through. You know, aspirations, the kind of thing Shonen anime won’t shut up about.
Umm...well...
Mine miiiight be dragons.
I’ve only had tumblr for a few minutes and it’s already recommending me pretty rocks and minerals. Like, yes I know I clicked the Geology, but I thought I’d be getting a lot more canyons and stuff first.
I feel like a lot of people misunderstand one of the key points of Sunday’s story. It’s about how one man’s utopia is another’s dystopia. Ideals can’t really be “right” or “wrong”, but if you apply any of them on a large-scale and take away flexibility/exceptions then the flaws are quickly revealed. Sunday isn’t the bad guy for trying to make the world a better place, but he IS the bad guy for forcing his perfect paradise onto everybody else regardless of what they think is best for themselves. The guests and citizens of Penacony didn’t actually consent to the Sweet Dream because they aren’t privy to the same knowledge of the Express + friends, and quite a few aren’t even sober! It’s like offering somebody candy and then secretly saying that eating it is consent to move them into your neighborhood LOL.
Penacony is classic sci-fi, taking things we know and pushing them to the extremes. Sunday IS the antagonist and he IS the villain. He’s a not-so-subtle metaphor about what can happen when there’s corruption in a religion. As they say, “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” (And I’m not ignoring Gopher’s manipulation here, but that’s a separate discussion from Sunday’s role in the story. We’re meant to sympathize and understand Sunday, but we can acknowledge the circumstances and STILL disapprove of his decisions.)
Somebody whose ideals clash with Sunday’s will naturally want to fight him on every level, even if they understand where he’s coming from. Being angry or disgusted at Sunday is just as reasonable as sympathizing or connecting with him. ┐( ̄ ヘ ̄)┌
I can tell I need to get off of Tumblr for today because I keep anthropomorphizing all the objects around me. "How do you think the fan feels rotating back and forth all day for your comfort" girl shut up
Yo yo yo, I'm Zibby! 20 y/o, absolute nerd, she/her but you can change it for a joke ~-~ PFP by @ceilingstars
