Tenha uma boa estadia por aqui!

Tenha uma boa estadia por aqui!

Gosto de cultura pop no geral: amo séries, livros, filmes, animes, mangás até jogos, então costumo tentar ver as coisas atuais, mas também assistir o que foi bem falado ou atraiu a minha atenção.
Comecei a me interessar por animes quando vi uns episódio de Yu Gi Oh GX, Pokémon e Naruto passando na TV Aberta, e desde então não parei de pegar gosto pela coisa.
Sempre sinto alegria quando um anime é lançado com uma dublagem brasileira, assim como tento colecionar mangás licenciados no Brasil que me chama a atenção.
Tento curtir obras de todos os gêneros/demografias, mas algumas temáticas sempre se destacam aos meus olhos, sendo elas: comédia, BL, yuri, terror, slice of life e game.

Meus critérios de notas:

10 e 9 = Obras que me deram uma sensação única de realização e aprendizado ao terminá-las. São na minha opinião as relíquias do mundo dos animes.
8 = Uma ótima experiência para desestressar e esquecer dos problemas do dia a dia, além de serem obras muito bacanas de revisitar.
7 e 6 = Algo que sem dúvidas não vai ser uma memória que guardarei na mente para sempre, mas que conseguiram me divertir, enquanto eu assistia diariamente.
5 e 4 = Acaba tendo seus pontos negativos, mas ainda assim é possível gostar indo com a mente aberta.
3, 2 e 1 = Na minha perspectiva são obras que me fizeram perder o tempo da minha vida e que certamente adoraria esquecer que existiram, todavia serviram para criar um senso crítico sobre o que eu consumo.

Let me ask you something, is true what people are saying? Netflix is winning an unspoken war against all the other streaming platforms? People are saying that several platforms that appeared are now over, that MAX isn't that popular, and even though Disney+ and Star+ merged and are on a special discount, they aren't doing well either.
I completely agree with that statement more than you can think; even the weakest Scooby-Doo movie is amazing by itself. I don´t remember much about Scooby-Doo and The Witch's Ghost, but I do recall it was the movie where the Hex Girl debuted, and there was a scene where the witch took her descendant with her back to hell.
Indeed, we have the right to hate colonizers; even though the Spanish wanted us to worship Colon, we know what they did. Something that amazes me is how Japan hated Asia, yet they don't know what they did to other countries in the past. They don't even know about Pearl Harbor.
Pets indeed take a huge toll on us, and for better or worse they always leave a mark; I still miss my cat to this day, she was the best. It doesn't hurt as much as day 1, but I still miss her daily.
Huh, no offense, but after thinking for a while, I feel I am not ready yet; I don't know what it is, I guess there are some plot points I am still not over yet hahaha. Still, I can share that I moved to another town before starting 5th grade, and it was a complete change of environment. I used to be pretty sheltered, and the kids here were quite ruthless. Since I was easy to manipulate, a teacher who disliked my dad used that to his advantage to make me the class rat, which alienated me from the rest.
I will proudly say I have won two times in those stuffed animal machines hahaha; the first one was a blue dog, and the second one was a badly knit Minnie Mouse.
If I may ask, how did you move on? How do you know those memories and former you are dead? Don't they ever appear from time to time?
Exactly, those years of torment and loneliness weren't ones we lived, but that we survived. Huh, I like your perspective, being alive by now, doing things I enjoy and like, is a big "Fuck You!" to those years.
Indeed, romanticizing those horrible times is the worst; we aren't who we are because of them, we are alive because we survive them. To be honest, the worst two years of my life don't have any good memories, but from High School I do reminiscence at times and smile, like the way Ozen smiles when remembering Lyza in Made in Abyss. A meme summarized my time with some people I met those days "I remember you fondly, but I don't ever want to see you again." In the end, it is better if some people are left in the past.
That is so true, trying to change those years in your head isn't worth it, especially when you realize that the people who tormented you weren't worth it at all. Those days are never coming back, I don't even want to go back to them, and you are right, trying to imagine them with other outcomes is not good nor healthy at all.
That perfectly summarizes it; don't ever let others dictate what you can like, or let them shame you for liking TV shows, reading, or watching anime. At the end of the day, just like you say, if you respect me I will respect you, If you want to disrespect me, don't wait for good words from me.
Period. I lived, bitches. I hope they can write all that much in your grave, though I know there are QR codes that let you put a video for people who scanned it to watch it; if I ever have one, I would either have a series of quotes from movies or shows that I love, but my petty self would also write a big Fuck You list with some special mentions.

It's good to know that it has a happy ending; don't get me wrong I love depressing endings since I feel they leave a lasting impact, but nothing beats a happy ending hahaha.
By the way, did you see it? Marissa is out! I am surprised it was her, she gave me early merged booted vibes, but I am still sad. I have seen Anastasia is being criticized, while Lynda has been receiving more positive opinions.

That's so awesome! I am happy I'm Still Here won best movie, it is amazing when your country wins big awards. I am sorry Fernanda Torres lost, I would have felt happy if got the statue.
I am a bit shocked Emilia Perez won the best song; I hear it, and it is so weird to hear Spanish words being mispronounced.
Cool! Thanks for saying that; I want to buy one but my TV doesn't seem to have the option.

Congratulations on finishing your first internship! I know how big they are, and how amazing it feels when you get the mark after so much hard work. I hope you celebrate it since I feel it is important to do it when I remember how many people weren't able to celebrate or finish important milestones due to COVID. I also hope you had the chance to celebrate your birthday alongside your love ones, and again, Happy Birthday! I hope there are many more to come, you are a truly special and wonderful person C:
Oh, don't make me remember the word City, it reminds me of how behind I am with my books reading hahaha.
I have read wonderful reviews of Fight Club and Twin Peaks; I am curious about the latter since I know it mixes different topics quite impressively.

Por lo que he visto es enserio que has tenido un buen mes, y me alegro mucho de saberlo. Espero todo continue de la misma forma :)
Fue mi placer, espero hayas tenido un muy buen día (:

By the way, I have seen you are watching Carfight Vanguard, how has it been? I watched the first season years ago but never finished it, though I liked the cards, the atmosphere, and the amazing second opening song. And also, I noticed you finished reading My Hero Academia, what is your opinion?

Hastra nuestra proxima conversación, I wish you the best; take care of yourself and have a good look at your list of movies and shows to watch. I am eager to hear your review :)

I am glad to hear that; sometimes I do wonder how the laws are in other countries since almost every week there is news about an incident in a hospital. Last week the hospital near my house nearly burnt.
I do remember that law; I remember I was looking at my phone while the nurse was about to pierce me since I don´t like needles that much, and she asked me to please not record her hahaha. There was also news about a stripper inside a hospital dancing while another woman was singing but that is a different story hahaha.
I think in my country LGBT laws became more important after a gay teen was killed back in 2012 by neonazis; I didn't know you were able to hang a Nazi flag in the US, that sounds crazy!
Wait, so Elon Musk banned Brazil from Twitter because Brazil has improved in laws against hate crimes, hate speeches, and discrimination? That man is crazy, no wonder he is so close to Trump.

Where do you watch them? I think I read they are available on HBO Max, but I am not so sure. The first live-action will always be one of my favorite movies, and I always watch it when I find it on TV. I know you like the more mature versions, but What's New Scooby-doo will forever be my favorite installment, as well as the Live Action and the first five cartoon movies.
Hahaha, it's surprising how colonizers, or invaders, to this day believe we need to follow their lead.

For a while, I thought it would have been nice to have some cats instead of kids, but I have had too many bad experiences with them already. My favorite cat died last year after a battle with Anemia, and I swear the latest cat my parent accepted is destroying my mental health every day. I am really not suited to be a dad at all hahaha.
Indeed, romance can wait, you can meet someone at any point in life, but finishing your education, and pursuing interests that can open more doors, is one of the best goals to follow.
So, like, from the very beginning, that is a big one hahaha; no offense, but there are stuff that I am honestly not that comfortable to share so openly, maybe on a private message if you ever want to know. Still, I share that with you, as a kid you are allowed to enjoy things since you don´t understand the issue adults have, it isn´t until you grow up that things start to hit.
Oh, Barbie and dolls, don´t feel bad about that, I have heard from several adults that it is pretty normal for kids to want to play with Barbies, especially if they spend a lot of time with sisters or female cousins.
By putting an end, are you saying he burned them or threw them away? That sounds devastating; I also love stuffed animals and I have bought some as an adult.
Yeah, environment and short mindsets of other adults close to them can affect parents a lot. I am glad those toxic relatives are no longer part of your life.
The classic "What is wrong with me?" question; even when no one asks it to you, it still appears at some point.
I am so sorry to hear that harassment, toxic comments, and toxic religious people affected you back then even with clothes; I cannot say I understand to that level because I love wearing jeans when I go out, but for years I hated Summer because I couldn´t use hoodies. For years I felt more comfortable with more clothes on.
I don´t want to make this sound like an insult or offensive in any way, but in my darkest moment, I also felt mostly safe at home and found comfort in watching TV shows that are nowadays considered cult classics.
I will never be able to understand the mentality of pointing out whoever is different to make fun of them. Personally, I tried to be like them, and they hated me more.
What is this deal with life making you the target of everyone who surrounds you? Like, you cannot like the stuff you like at home, at school everyone hates you for things that you cannot even change, and it feels like teachers follow the pattern of either defending the bullies or solving everything in the worst way.
I am so sorry, I reached the sentence of clinical depression and I cannot stop feeling bad for you; you had such a horrible time, and it seemed there wasn´t a single safe space where to be. No child should be ever thinking of ending things.
That depressive phase where being alone is not an option but a result, where everything makes you angry, and you don´t want to live is one of the worst periods ever.
I am so glad you found a support system that helped you to be here; I am even thankful that they were there for you.
Indeed, you couldn´t catch a break at all; you really had a horrible time.
Some of those traumas hit really close to home; I also have issues with taking pictures of myself and feeling comfortable with them, it's been at least 2 years since I last posted a picture on Instagram. I am also self-conscious about being made fun of.
How did you know that kid of the past is dead? How are sure about it? Not that I want to raise issues, is just that I would love to be sure because, honestly, sometimes is hard not to feel angry or depressed.
I am not going to lie, at first, I did feel a bit like you romanticized that period, which made me feel a bit at odds since I personally don´t see anything good from that period of my life, but the fact it helped you find the people who helped you to feel alive again I completely understand why you still see the positive. For me, it really seemed you learned and grew from it.
Dressing how you want and being able to express what you like without feeling embarrassed are two of the biggest victories in life.
To feel alive again, that is something hard to achieve; at the end of the day, no se trata de vivir si no de sentirse vivo. I have been a bit bored lately, maybe I need to do something reckless hahaha.
That is up to us, to separate some good moments from the bad experiences, maybe the few instances of true happiness that kept us alive.

Hahaha, don´t worry at all, it was my pleasure to read that; you overcame quite a lot to reach this time of life. I am sure kid you would not even believe the happiness you are feeling was possible. Walk proud, my friend :)
I don´t know why, but for some reason, my brain associates Frankenweenie with strawberries hahaha. 9 The Salvation sounds like a very depressing animation, spoil me, does it have a happy ending?
It was sad to see Tristan leave, I knew he wasn´t reaching the merge, but I liked them. I like what OddNations is doing, I wonder if Logan will also have his days numbered.
I get that feeling though, I swear the authors of Majo Taisen hate me; every single character I have rooted for lost the match. I am still salty over Marie Curie and Anna Pavlova.
Nice to know where to watch Hacks.
I cannot remember if The Dragon Prince was on Netflix or if it left the catalog. I swear lots of series leave Netflix every day; they should be doing more to keep the popular names.
Huh, interesting, a dictatorship that started thanks to the US finger, that hits way closer to home than you may think; I swear sometimes I feel we are actually living in the same country hahaha. Oh no, a detenido desaparecido as we called them in Chile; a person who was kidnapped by the military and was never seen again.
Those stories are usually the ones that captivate people the most since they can see what happened to the victims of dictatorship. I hope I'm Still Here can win the Oscars for which it was nominated.
Ugh, I hate when that happens to good shows; Shameless was such a solid show, Season 7 finale was an absolute peak, I swear that if it lasted five more minutes to finish one important plot with side characters things would have reached another level of, but after S7 something feels odd. Still, if you were able to enjoy it, that is a win.
Don't joke with me, are you for real? Cold Case is on MAX?!
It was a real-life plot twist; it shocks me that everything became public when the movie was finished. There was nothing else to do, what are you supposed to do in those situations when nobody knows how the real person looked? Nobody is at fault there.

I want to pay Disney+ again mainly for Star+, but it is so expensive, I wish it had free trials but there is no way Disney would lose money. I was curious about MAX, but it is way more expensive than Disney+ hahaha.

Las cosas han estado un poco raras; hubo un apagón en Chile, desde el Norte hasta el Sur, es decir, todo el país estaba sin electricidad. Fue una muy rara instancia.
I am not going to lie, there were some very depressing periods, I feel I am not that over some of them to be fair; I can speak about them, but not that publicly.

Agradezco mucho tus palabras, y espero que tus días estén llendo muy bien también :)
Cuidate mucho, te deseo lo mejor en tus estudios, y espero estés teniendo un buen año C:

What are the laws that protect healthcare workers in Brazil? Here there are some laws to protect them, sometimes people can be way too aggressive towards them.
You have a lot to offer in the mental health care world, I hope you can pursue a degree there. I know you can get insight into everything with that concentration of yours when watching movies and shows to analyze them, and I feel that is an amazing characteristic of psychology.
I recently watched Akiba Maid Wars to relax and laugh; I laughed a lot, but I also got very depressed hahaha. The final episode was beautiful. It's weird, I want and at the same time, I don't want another season of it.
I have never used Twitter before, and even though we are from different countries, I am still surprised that Brazilians are so close with Filipinos and Koreans. Considering that, just like Chile and Brazil, they also suffered at the hands of other countries during their early days, there can be some similarities than I imagine.
Oh, Seven Days, that was my first BL manga; I read it years ago and I cannot remember anything about it hahaha. I think I recall a scene of Cherry Magic where that happens, it was before they gave each other rings. Romance anime tend to be annoying with misunderstanding, such as Kimi ni Todoke, Say I Love You, Toradora, and the one anime I feel the most overrated, Oreagiru. Straight romantic anime/manga/shows/movies overused way too many tropes, that is why I value the few instances where the couple doesn´t end up together.
Yeah, just like a meme I saw from a show I have never watched, there are different forms of love, romantic one is just one of them. I guess that's what we all want, to live a life with someone who loves watching us coming back home. Wanting it is not wrong at all, and hoping for a life with someone is not bad; I have a lot of images on Instagram of romantic moments that I feel a bit bad to share as I initially wanted hahaha.
It is not confusing at all, and I completely get it, and I am sure a huge percentage of humankind gets it; keeping everything as an option is great, but forcing it is what leads to bad decisions. You just have it as an option, not a goal, if it happens it happens, and it does not, then life goes on. There are several ways to live a happy life.
Personally, I don´t ever want kids, I am not emotionally stable enough to be a suitable parent. Fostering may not be a bad idea, but Foster Care doesn´t exist in my country; I am the godfather of my youngest nephew, and if something happens he comes with me, and I am not against that idea. Still, I am not having kids of my own.
I know, I completely understand your point of view. It is interesting though, I have read so many stories about couples who want or don´t want kids, and sometimes I wonder which mindset is easier to change: from not wanting kids to wanting them, or vice versa. I know some people step up to raise kids even though they never wanted them, and I guess that requires a lot of commitment.
Indeed, to be a good parent it is necessary to be there 24/7, even when they don´t want it, and even when they aren´t there anymore. Supporting someone for so many years is a lot of commitment.

I am so sorry to hear how long it lasted, it does sound like you were living in hell; I know you already told me several details about that time, but I cannot even begin to imagine the things you don´t want to speak about. Living for yourself is first and most important, and I am glad to hear you are living your life now enjoying every single minute. I know I already said it, but my worst years were in middle school, and it's amazing how I cannot remember a single detail; the most enjoyable moment was going back just to leave that classroom. Believe me, it is like a mindset to be mean and meanspirited in the town where I live, one that most people share; it's funny, I didn´t have any problems with my body or how I looked until I came to live here. I spent so much time hiding the stuff I like to avoid mockery, I love talking about them, and sadly, it is still hard at times not to feel embarrassed.
Emotional stability is one thing, one that can increased by having financial stability; people love to deny it, but money is an important part of life. One that can guarantee lots of useful things, such as therapy.
You made me remember a saying of my country: Si usted vino a este mundo y no tomo vino, a que vino? Which translates to something like, if you came a didn´t drink wine, why did you come? Hahaha, in the sense of being on this earth, and doing enjoyable stuff instead of just living.
Aw, like Derry Girls; it was short, but it is top 10 one of the best sitcoms ever. On the contrary, you have The Simpsons who in each new episode are reckoning the past.
I remember watching The Corpse Bride as a kid; I just caught the movie on Cartoon Network and gave it a chance. Forgive me if I am wrong because it's been years since I watched it, but I hated the ghost bride and how easily the broom was ready to marry her. I honestly felt bad for the human bride. Don´t make me start with Monster House, who wouldn´t be bitter if your whole life others make fun of you? I don´t remember much of it either, but those kids making fun of her until the moment she died were the real villains.
I love Billy and Mandy with my life, and I am still bitter it just disappeared out of nowhere from TV; I am happy the movie and some specials are available on YouTube. Gumball was amazing, and it had some really dark episodes; the one where Banana Joe's mom gets kidnapped crept me out as an adult. Scooby-doo Island of the Zombies was so amazing! That movie was perfect, the scene where Fred, Daphne, Velma, and that detective almost melt was scary.
I never heard of Frankenweenie or 9 The Salvation, what are they about?

Hahaha, it was a great line; I wrote it in my notebook.
I will probably give it a chance at some point, where did you watch it? Was it from a streaming platform?

I've been having spoilers about Disventure Camp without even looking after them hahaha. It was shocking to see Diego leave so early, it was a bit sad since I wanted to see his relationship with Spencer. I am rooting for Spencer to reach the end and have Diego help him hahaha, though I think he will leave before the finals. Still, I agree with you and I also love how Odd Nations is changing the formula and making the unexpected happen.
Did you watch the trailer for the newer episode? It was funny watching Benji asking Tristan if liking a non-binary person; I feel that is a question that a lot of people think, but are afraid to ask.
Lynda is giving some Rija vibes, especially at alienating herself from the alliance she formed. Let's what will happen with her later on. I think I will watch the episodes I haven´t from now on, I want to have more arguments and ideas for future conversations.

I see, I haven´t seen a picture from you, but it looks very good.
Oh, I see now. I made accounts for Letterboxd and TV Time, but I haven´t had time to follow you, give me a bit of time. It will be the user with nothing in its profile and no picture hahaha.

Isn´t Alucard the main character of the show? Is he a villain as well? That is quite appealing, there are many stories with visible main characters as villains, especially one who has an MC with an open sexual orientation.
Another animated show I am curious about is The Dragon Prince; there is a white-haired female character who appeared on my Instagram feed and caught my attention. She was begging someone to stay with her, and then I read in the comment she was begging her father (who was a villain, then died, and she revived him even though he didn´t want it) not to leave her after he was disappointed in what her daughter became.

Don´t get it wrong, I also suck at keeping to date with the latest songs, movies, and shows awarded for being the best of the year, but I came to notice quite a lot of drama on the past and upcoming ceremonies. Like Karla Sofía Gascón running her reputation after all the insensitive tweets she posted, and how badly was her damage control. She was way too old to blame age for it. Have you read about Kendrick Lamar? His Superbowl presentation was historical, one for the books; I don´t know what is more surprising, for the song to win all Grammys for which it was nominated, or that he was able to sing the song live and omit the curses.
I noticed I'm Still Here is nominated, what was it about? This is the first time I heard about the movie. I hope Fernanda Torres can win even though I never heard of her before, it's always great when someone outside of the US wins.
Let's see what happens, maybe our favorites can still win, the ceremony is right around the corner hahaha.

The Mentalist is a very old show, I remember some episodes and characters, but not everything in detail. How has it been so far?
Lately, I've been wanting to rewatch Cold Case, an American police show I watched as a kid; it is a very old show about old criminal cases that weren´t solved, and a team is in charge of closing them. What always hit me the hardest is that by the end of each episode, the victims appear as ghosts or visions that fade after their case is finally solved.

Wow, that is quite crazy, I know ethnicity shouldn´t matter, but the fact nobody knew until later is quite interesting. I am not that into movies, but I will add Vitória to my list of movies I need to watch. It's crazy how people need to remain hidden for their safety after doing something that ends bigger problems.

Muchas gracias por tus palabras, fueron muy amables; espero todo este llendo bien en tus estudios, y que el tiempo que tengas libre puedas usarlo para descanzar. Un saludo y gran abrazo desde Chile.
Hasta la proxima, espero este mensaje te encuentre bien; cuidate mucho :)

I am glad to hear that, and I also hope it keeps up like that. I have read and seen how mean families can get, and I understand they mean well for the ones they love, but they shouldn´t put so much anger into the person trying to help.
I always encourage people and friends who say they want to go into another major; I know it may sound scary, and everyone is tired when finishing their first degree, but if psychology is something you feel passionate about, then go for it.
Don´t get me wrong, but it made me remember those memes where a character is doing something, then has a breakdown, and then goes back to business hahaha. When stressed out or feeling like going nowhere while doing something I usually do one of two things; I smoke a cigarette, or I begin to clean my room. It usually works, especially when studying. My cousin said once that when feeling like you aren´t getting anything of what you are studying at the moment, you need to leave your notebook lying there, do anything else for a while to freshen up, and then go back.
Allowing yourself to have a moment to fall apart is completely necessary, especially when anxiety and stress are reaching red numbers. Doing literally anything else for a second can help a lot.
I don´t feel comfortable dancing, and I get too many distractions to meditate, but I get what you are saying; I will try to apply it to my daily life. It's weird because sometimes I watch anime to relax and I end up more stressed than before hahaha; the anime My Home Hero increased my anxiety to newer levels during the first weeks it aired hahaha.
There is nothing better than knowing you aren't late and that you can still sit there and relax for a few seconds.
I am curious for a more detailed explanation of that; are Brazilians close to Filipinos and Koreans? I mean, I have heard the former are experts on karaoke and pretty chill, but don´t get me wrong, from the latter I haven´t heard too much good stuff.
So far, your description of Brazil is giving me a lot of vibes from the UK; we studied the UK a lot in college, and something interesting I learned is how multicultural the country is, especially London. It is great to know there is a similar place in South America. Here things aren't that pretty.
Ugh, I get what you are saying, it is annoying when characters just get half the story and think that is the whole truth without talking things out. I also hate the misunderstanding trope where a character talks with someone else or with a past partner and the other person runs crying without knowing what is happening. I don´t think that would happen in real life, but personally, I would go and talk immediately with as much seriousness and maybe hidden anger hahaha. Running away, especially when it's a show with an adult cast, is annoying. What examples come to your mind that have done that?
To be honest, I've been thinking about that and I think it suits me; I love romantic anime, comedies, and movies, but I am not into that. In high school, all my friends run from relationship to relationship and I feel like an outcast for not dating anybody. But I remember when my classmates and I went to the river to film a video for a class, there was a couple from our school who stayed sat in the same position for like five hours without moving, and I honestly thought "That is not for me". I mean, who doesn't want a happy ever after, but as an adult I came to think there are several ways to get one that only by being in a relationship.
At the end of the day, if it has to happen it will not, but rushing things may not end well. I am glad you feel joy at the point in life where you are, and I hope that if hope wants it you can find a partner someday, and a great one as well; do you want kids?
Indeed, a life without the things that make us happy is not a good one.
That dialogue always hurts, Scooby saw all of them as a family and everyone left on horrible terms without even a goodbye, without even talking to each other for years. Now that I think about it, I feel that not only Velma and Daphne felt underestimated and left out, but I feel Fred left because things got hard and he didn´t know how to react; I wish his character was detailed a bit more. The beach conversation with all of them making amends always got me, especially since it was clear they all missed one another.
Hahaha, like watching a scary horror movie late at night and then switching channels to Bob Sponge hahaha. What do you think about kid's shows that out of nowhere have a completely scary episode? I remember Gumball and Banana Joe's mom dialogue; I watched that episode just because the TV was on the channel, and it was scary as well.
Hahaha, I love Katy Perry and Taylor Swift equally hahaha; Firework, Swish Swish, Teenage Dream, California Girls by Katy Perry, and Mean, Antihero, and Exile by Taylor Swift are some of my favorite songs ever. Back to the topic, I agree that it is better to have a varied circle where not everyone has the same taste, there is always room for discussion and to learn new things. I wasn´t interested in Netflix shows at first, but thanks to a friend I watched Bojack Horseman and it was the best decision ever.
"Common tastes start a relationship, but it is the differences and respecting them that makes something lasting." That has to be one the best lines I have ever heard; if you ever read it in a book, it was me hahaha.
Same here, but not only in shows hahaha. One of the things I love the most about reality shows, for instance, is controversies; I could talk and write a lot about it. For instance, if you think America's Next Top Model is toxic, just wait for Australia´s Next Top Model and Germany's Next Top Model; the former has some very dark and awful moments, while the latter needs its own Wikipedia page for all the issues, lawsuits, and problems. Heidi Klum is like Germany's biggest villain.
I see, that is a very dark joke; it honestly sounds more like an anecdote than a joke, to be honest. Nevertheless, that is a very explicit way to find out your kid is gay. It makes me remember the storytime of a gay guy in my country who said that in high school his braces got stuck on another guy thing; the braces kid said his entire family saw him in that position on the way to the doctor, while the other one was still closeted, the doctor circumcised him, and couldn't tell anyone from his family.
The senator and his son made me remember a Republican homophobic politician in my country who appeared on the news after cheating on his wife with a transgender prostitute; at least he isn´t transphobic, that is a thing. Back to Hack, that is quite nasty, sleeping with father and son at the same time. It's weird people got angry at her for making fun of a hypocritical conservative politician; that sounds a bit fake to me, in real life, everyone would jump into making fun of them. Still, I haven´t watched the show yet so I can't talk much about it.
Hacks does sound like a very enthralling show; I will try to watch it in the future. So far, it is first on my list; comedy-drama and sitcoms are always a must for me.
I saw spoilers out of nowhere, and holy shit! I am shocked Diego is out; he was one of my contenders for the win, and I honestly liked the pair of adventurous x nerdy. It was unexpected to see him leave, but shocking. Still, it feels weird that the Red Team voted out one of their physically strongest members.
Absolutely, I honestly feel Jade has winning and All-Stars material. Let's see what she does later on.

I feel the fault of viewers and readers having a wrong notion of who Batman is lies in the hands of the writers. People love Batman who supports his kids, who is a mentor, and a father figure, but writers love to portray him as a vigilante incapable of loving.
Exactly! Batman is not the hero who kills to save, that is his first rule; he is a man with a lot of demons, and he knows everyone has a story of their own as well. What makes The Animated Series he knew the villains were people suffering and with a lot of pain, and even when they tried to change the world didn´t let them, yet he still didn´t lose hope for them. I knew about the no killing and no firearms rule, and the only one who gets a free pass for that rule is Jason Todd/Red Hood for reasons I think I know but I won't elaborate since I don´t know if I am right. I get what you mean that Nolan may have ruined the character for the audience of the time, and it sucks, to be honest.
You got me invested in this new cartoon, I will give it a chance.
Batman is truly a complex character who may change depending on the writers, but I will always stand by the side of the Batman who is hard but fair; who knows what struggling is, understands pains, and loves the people who surround him, whether it the rest of the BatFamily or the members of the League. I love the comics where Superman and Batman appear alongside John and Damian.
I know!!! I love the Webtoon so much, I never skip a new chapter; I love the conversations and hugs, he has had with Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian. The chapter where Tim gave Jason a picture of his time as Robin, to remind him not everything was bad. I love every single design in the Webtoon.
I need to read Bram Stoker in the future, and watch the movie as well, to understand what you are saying; I remember you told me most old writing has a lot of LGBT coding, such as Dracula and Frankenstein. I get that sometimes movies, and even shows, can last too long and even there it is hard to balance the story of the many characters that appear.
You know, something I wasn´t that fond of in Madoka is how the friendship of Madoka and Sayaka's friendship seemed to be forgotten, I don´t remember much of the story, but I feel that in the anime the amount of concern between Sayaka and Kyouko felt too rushed. I understand your point that Madoka and Homura care about each other more than friends, but I am still not that interested in them being a couple. Still, I hope the new movie ends on a happy note, I am a sucker for happy endings hahaha.
I love your profile picture in your Letterbox. I will make an account to follow you, but TV Time still doesn´t let me see your account; maybe after signing in I will be able to.
Audiences having an opinion and talking about what they say is why I love YouTube hahaha.
It's not a complaint, but my email account has been bombarded with messages about Castlevania these past few weeks. I am eager to read your comments about them.
I am not going to lie, I never heard of Anora and Conclave before. After Googling the name of the former I immediately recognized the main actress; she was one of the villains in Scream 5. I am not going to lie, I am between Demi Moore and her for the Academy Award; for Demi because I felt bad during her speech when winning the Golden Globe, and the latter because I feel she is not going to win, but I always root for the underdog.

I am beyond thrilled that you are doing great in terms of mental health; I hope you can achieve your goal.
Igualmente, espero hayas tenido un buen Enero, y que Febrero sea mucho mejor. Te deseo lo mejor en tus practicas.
No te preocupes, tu español ha sido excelente, incluso mejor que el mio hahaha.
Nos vemos, cuidate, y quedo atento a tu mensaje :)

Haikyuu is this type of anime where it is impossible to solely have one favorite character, I like them according to their year in the team hahaha. Ennoshita Chikara is my favorite second year in Karasuno, and I love his small arc a lot. I hope you can enjoy Haikyuu.
Oh, that sounds like a lot of responsibility, and quite enjoyable as well. Have your patients be nice?
I know we only talk through messages but I honestly feel you have quite a lot of great attitudes to be a psychologist. Maybe after finishing your degree, you could start psychology by validating courses in your college that you already passed in your first degree. That is something a lot of people from my university did when changing degrees in the same field.
Ugh, I understand that feeling of not studying enough way too much; sometimes it hits you right where it's needed, and some others make you feel like trash. Comparing yourself to others regarding studying habits is also fuel to anxiousness, I still remember some classmates who stayed in college the whole night before a test.
I arrived in 2025 being sick from 2024 hahaha; I have been feeling a bit weird, but I think it can my anxiety speak louder. I think I can be hypochondriac after spending too much time with a cousin who is always concerned with her health.
Fico feliz em saber que você começou o ano com o pé direito. Espero que continue assim.
Afternoon classes feel so great, especially when you aren´t a morning person, like me hahaha. You can wake up at a reasonable hour, prepare yourself, eat something, and not be in a hurry for your classes.
I must say I haven´t heard many people complaining about Spanish, but they sure love to start arguing with Spanish-speaking countries, like my own. I swear I have found them several times on social media pages from my country attacking us for not accepting we aren´t "Latin" and more stuff. One of the things I have realized is that they are angry we don't respect Cristobal Colon/Christopher Columbus.

I am glad you found a good therapist who has helped you. Understanding your problems is the first step to healing.
Exactly, accepting other people's approval could mean wasting a lot of time and effort by people who may not change their views. Those who want to stay will stay, and those who want to go can do it.
I get you, sometimes I also want to live a life like in Sitcoms hahaha. By the way, what happened in To All The Boys I Love? I haven't watched the movies but I am aware of what they are about and what happens, what tragedy are you mentioning?
Back to the topic, having a relationship like that does sound like a dream; I must say at times I feel romantic movies have shaped the view of lots of people's idea of a relationship, but then I think that romance shouldn't be something restricted and everyone deserves to live in some sort of dream.
I am honestly not interested in a relationship at all; like, in high school I remembered I wanted to be in a relationship because all of my friends were constantly jumping from relationship to relationship like it was nothing, but after years I realized I am not interested in being in one; I love being by myself and going at my peace. Maybe I will regret it, maybe I won´t, but I feel happy at the moment.
I remember you told me something about it, like closing your eyes and fully immersing into the movie you are watching or the song you are listening. I don´t think that is an ability I can have hahaha.
I always wondered what people who weren't interested in movies, anime, or shows did at home, especially when you asked and they didn´t like reading either. I mean, prior to social media was TV, and that era lasted a lot, so I wonder what they did to think of themselves as superior. I treasured the shows I watched while growing up a lot, especially the ones that seem to have been forgotten in time, such as sitcoms like Step by Step and Full House. I only watched reruns of them, but it was still a great pleasure for me.
I love the Scooby-Doo cartoon movie franchise with my life; I still remember watching them as a kid, Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost (Which I think introduced the Hex Girls), and Alien Invaders (Which still made me tear up a bit with that bittersweet ending) were some of my favorites.
That is exactly why I love the live-action Scooby-Doo movie, the characters were flawed and had their own issues; Velma felt left out, Daphne felt insecure, and Fred was portrayed as a narcissist, but in the end, they cared way too much for each other not to do something when Scooby was kidnapped. The beach scene was so beautiful, especially with Shaggy being the most mature at the moment and humbling Fred by remembering him why they did what they did. Matthew Lillard as Shaggy was a masterful decision. Some people said that if the first two live-action films changed places the story could have been a thousand times better, and I am having a hard time not watching that point of view.
I almost forgot that about Disney movies and Disney princesses: they always showed the best in their protagonists, even when they weren't in their prime they still chose to be nice and for a happy ending. I really almost forget it. One Disney film that I love with my life is Meet the Robinsons, which has to be one of the most beautiful films ever made, and the message was even better. I hate that its sequel was canceled.
I need to watch more Pixar movies since I understand what you are talking about, but I cannot remember them very well. I know what you mean about Inside Out since I share Riley's hatred for moving out, and Coco, Monster Inc and Finding Memo are great representations of daily struggles. I don´t know who are the directors or writers of Pixar, but they sure know how to create movies suitable for adults and children.
Hahaha, it´s funny how much people including me, love slice-of-life and horror at the same time hahaha.
I am not going to lie, I have never been a huge fan of The Lion King; I don't know what is it, but I just can't sit down and watch it. I have watched Shrek quite some times, but it is the same, I don´t enjoy it, though I love certain scenes and topics, and I certainly love the memes hahaha. Go with it, I am all ears, or eyes here, for your analysis if you want to go in-depth; if it is too personal, feel free to send in a private message.
That is on standby at the moment; the doctor recommended some months ago to stop eating tomatoes, so I don´t know for sure when I will prepare it. My brother told me to just remove the seeds, so let's see what happens.

I agree with you on that one, good moments keep us afloat, and bad memories shape us into what we are not going to accept. I must say, as much as I want to erase high school from my memories, mainly for focusing on partying with the popular instead of finding people to truly connect with, not all of them are bad memories. And watching memorabilia from the time brings some laughs and smiles at times. On the contrary, I´ll gladly erase my middle school memories.

I need to pay my Netflix account, but I think I will go back to it the moment something I am eager to watch comes back or debut, such as Scooby-Doo.
I know I have said it a lot of times, but I promise I will watch the videos; still, my mind is set that Mindy Kaling did a self-insert of her character in The Office.

Indeed, our cultures love Reality Shows, anime, partying, and hating our colonizers hahaha. We do have a lot in common. You know, with all the craziness that has been happening in the world with the strongest countries declaring war, about to enter civil war, and attacking other countries, is crazy how South America is almost a safe haven.
One thing is agreeing with a candidate's policies and ideas, but another huge different thing is to support a candidate who has been blatantly appalling. In the last presidential election, one of the candidates was the direct child of a Nazi, and he said he was proud of his family heritage... it makes you think about the people who vote for him.
I don´t want to talk much about the Nintendo Wii at the moment, but when this debacle is over I will tell you for sure.
Absolutely, my trauma my jokes; I now can say I survived having my throat almost shut due to an allergic reaction I didn´t know I had hahaha.
I've been watching a lot of anime lately since I think my burnout is over; I went back to Ao no Exorcist after years of watching season 1, and I completely enjoyed it. I watched MyGO because I listened to Ave Mujica's opening song and decided to give the latter a try, so I needed to watch the former first. The moment I start Semantic Error I'll tell you who I love, who I hate, and who I think is toxic hahaha.

Please, tell me, what was the joke that got Ava Daniels canceled? Be honest about the following question, Was it funny? After you told me about this show I found a clip on Instagram of the two main characters fighting and swearing at each other, this show seems promising.
I recently found this show called Paquita Salas, and it was hilarious; I need to watch it someday.

One of the things I remember the most about Casablanca, aside from the many quotes it inspired, is that episode from The Simpsons where Bart and Lisa found the "alternative" happy ending hahaha. I will see where I can find it to watch it one of these days.

I cannot believe it, the movie already aired! I need to find the page to watch it.

I am so glad to hear that; the length was perfect, and the current ones helped by giving characters their proper development.
I feel the same for season 1 since I feel the cast was the strongest one so far, with Fiore, Ellie, Tom, Jake, Alec, Ashley, and Miriam, and all the drama and bad blood that transpired during the season. We have our own preferences, nothing wrong with that.
Indeed, Fiore tricking Ellie into making Tom use his idol for Jake was a masterpiece move. It was such an emotional move that put all the "heroes" of the time against each other; I still remember Jake annoying Ellie in the tunnels because of that, which led to Ellie's comeback.
Oh, Season 3, if only Tess and Ashley reached the end as intended maybe Riya would not be all on her own. But maybe we would have had Jake's redemption in the end with him being now friends with people who used to hate him. He had a nice comeback.
Nice to hear that, I will be eager to watch the newer episodes once there are more released.
I like your final three, but I am rooting for Jade to the end. She is my girl and pick for the win hahaha.

Damn it, I live for chaotic hahaha, I will try to make time to read MADK.

Be ready for Houseki no Kuni; if you want to swear at any of the gems, I am right here for you. I still want to insult Cairngorm more, and I will do it until I cannot breathe anymore. I also want to hear your opinion regarding the other gems, I have a selection of the ones I like, and how complex their relationships are.
I stick by the theory that Yellow Diamond and Alexandrite were original targets before Phos.

I like your idea, an ONA of I Think My Son is Gay can work seriously great.

I read some comments that say that, apparently, Timmy hasn´t appeared yet; I hope the nice future is proven real. I hope there is an episode of Cosmo and Wanda meeting with him again for the final time, like what happened with Lilo and Stitch in that anime.

I have seen some clips and it does resemble the old animated Batman cartoons; I have heard that some people don´t like that the character The Penguin is portrayed as a woman, and I honestly found it a bit weird considering there are good female villains in Batman. Nevertheless, if it makes people angry then I support it hahaha.
I haven´t watched the Christopher Nolan films to have a good opinion regarding that, but I believe there isn´t bad publicity, though I have heard lots of criticism towards Ben Affleck's Batman and Jared Leto's Joker; I feel the latter is a bit unfair since he barely appeared in the movies, and I honestly found his acting quite uneasy to watch in a good way, like it was uncomfortable to watch, and that is what the Joker is: a psychopath who is not scared of killing kids and is not conflicted with gassing people. I remember that in a comic he used and was responsible for killing a pregnant Lois Lane, which triggered the worst in Superman.
I agree that noir animation is what makes the older cartoon of Batman so appealing; that feeling that something is hidden in your shadow and is ready to attack you at any moment is the best example of what Batman is.
Isn´t the Talia Al Ghul of those films a character who died nearly after appearing? I read it was because the actress was pregnant at the time the director wasn´t kin of working with actors and actress whom he doesn´t know; hence, he wanted to work with her and killed the character nearly immediately. Which sucks because she is a great and complex enemy.
Oh, Heath Ledger, you are still missed; he was taken too young. His Joker was a masterpiece. I love how the whole world recognizes that. He should have been there, receiving the Oscar. As I said, I haven´t watched the movies, but even I am aware of how his Joker showed how twisted that psycho can be. Rest in Peace, King.
I agree that the Bat Family is one of the things that Keeps Bruce Wayne/Batman afloat; the webcomic Batman: Wayne Family Adventures shows that. The comics love to portray them as a flawed group of individuals, which they are, but the wrong part is to have Bruce as a character who is incapable of loving. He loves his kids, each and every one of them; having them on screen would make things better. Is sacrilegious that Jason Todd and Tim Drake almost never appear in adaptations. Barbara Gordon is also someone who should receive more love, her history, especially how she ended up in a wheelchair, needs to be on the big screen.
The part about Cristopher Nolan doesn´t understand Batman is quite an interesting approach, especially the part regarding his people.
I love the comment section, and I agree with the person who says things need to go back to the very beginning of Batman and show how he met every member of the Bat Family, and what led to some of their deaths, retirement, and conflicts. There is an enormous amount of material that would do wonders in a series.
It was a very interesting video.

Tell me what you think about Nosferatu.

I have some hopes that now the director will be able to have the happy ending he didn´t do in the latest movie. I don´t need any romance, I just want a happy ending hahaha.

I need to watch Look Back; it is right there on the page where I watch anime, and I am sure it will be amazing. I read some rumors about qualifying for the Oscars, but I don´t know much about it. The Oscars need to award several anime movies in the name of the ones that were robbed.
Inside Out 2 and The Boy and The Heron are on my list of must-watch; I kind of want to read the books of Dune rather than the movies, but I know they are never-ending since now the son of the original author is writing.

If you want, I can recommend some anime from 2024; I would even like to recommend more from the past but I am sure you watched since your list is longer than mine and I should be the one asking for directions hahaha. There are some great anime coming ahead this year.

Witch Hat Atelier, Go For It, Nakamura, and The Summer Hikaru Died are some of the anime I am also going to watch this year without a doubt. I didn´t hear of Lazarus before, I noticed it is a MAPPA original anime, and the designs look amazing. I will give it a chance as well.

There are times were a dark and somber color palette does wonder, but I don´t disagree that upbeat colors are also appealing to viewers. Although I agree that the CW did wonders with the hero costumes and that the current ones look a bit cheap, I wish DC the best in this new era of them.

I personally feel Tasogare Outfocus wasn´t that great, and I disliked the final couple a bit, mainly the pink-haired guy, but I grew to like him a bit near the end. I feel it wasn´t great, I would not recommend it, but I don´t regret giving it a chance.
Dandadan and Dungeon Meshi are splendid, the former adaptation from the manga was amazing, and the latter was a masterpiece and you cannot predict anything at all. Everything is so original. I think you are going to love Laios.

Can you leave me your profile link again, please? I don´t tend to log into social media that much, but I can create a profile for some of them to follow if you want.

I watched Nolan's video, which I found very interesting, and I loved the public's reaction as well hahaha.
I will try to watch the rest of them as soon as I can.

Espero todo este llendo bien en tu día a día cuando recivas esté mensaje. Espero el portugues que intente hablar en el anterior, con la ayuda de un traductor, haya sido entendible, mi estimado amigo.

Cuidate, te deseo lo mejor con tus pasientes :)

So you are also in charge of providing the routine to heal limbs that were affected by accidents or diseases; I can see how exhausting it must be for you and the patients as well. It must be horrible to lose the functionality of your limbs, and even worse for older people who still want to recover them. You are studying the same profession as one of my favorite Haikyuu characters, Ennoshita Chikara. Have you been able to practice on real patients?
Good luck with psychology, it is a great class regardless of the year you are, though it depends more on the teacher and the types of activities.
If you are able to learn and understand the material in less time than you initially thought, then you can use the rest of the time as you see fit. A little bit of practice or some exercise to keep things still brand new is also useful.
Creating a schedule for studying is one of the hardest things for any and every student, and forcing yourself to study is not healthy either. Speaking of professionals, some days before Christmas I learned I am allergic to Metamizole, and really allergic to be honest hahaha.
Honestamente, esté año me quizo ver muerto, aprovecho cada oportunidad que tuvo el muy maldito hahaha. Espero que este novo ano seja bom para você também.
I am so happy for you, it seems like 2024 really was your year; I hope 2025 treats you kindly as well. How was Joke 2? Was it as bad as everyone said it was?
Ugh, I know the struggle, bladder pain, stomach ache, colon pain; anxiety and stress can hurt the body more than we know, and this year I found it out. If you have time, I recommend you to watch the seasonals from Fall 2024, Summer 2024 was a huge letdown.
Splendid! A very good decision; there is nothing better than being able to schedule your classes in a way that helps you instead of adding more stress. I wish you the best in the upcoming semester.
I enjoyed Tom and Jake, though I am still a bit on the fence with Tom leaving the police force; I wanted to see him revolutionizing the system hahaha, and his friendship with Tatsu was the best. I love how their relationship developed, and I absolutely enjoyed watching Tom and Gabby's friendship, as well as Jake and Ellie starting a new friendship.
One of the fan greetings got me curious, I thought Tom and Aiden were close friends, but the latter said they never talk, which I honestly found sad. I love the ones that include Tess.
I see, so it is a delicate topic; I have learned way too much dark history about different countries and why they hate each other. Something interesting is how South America is currently the only place free of extreme conflict.
Oh my God, that's horrible, that is xenophobia to its fullest extent. If that is the case, then we all have polluted the original language where Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian came from: Latin.
Right, the old "We discovered you" excuse. Murder of the Indigenous population, and theft of gold and historic properties, that hits close to home. It seemed that every European country that arrived in America just left the worst of them.
In Chile's case, Cristobal Colon left a big impact, and several of his crimes are still remembered; the Spanish get angry when we complain about them and are still fixated on saying we are Latin Americans for some reason. Of course, not everyone is the same, but there are too many who still believe we lived centuries ago in the past.
Respect! There is nothing better than knowing the worth of your country. Let's stop the belief that being in Europe is the only thing that matters.
Due to this paragraph, I can infer not all your relatives are too open-minded, or acceptive; I am sorry if that happened to you. Stopping trying to make others happy is the best thing we have to do for the sake of our mental health. It is impossible to please everybody; whoever wants to leave, the door is open.
Yeah, at the end of the day, everyone is going to leave, and being true to ourselves is the only thing that will stay; validation feels nice, but living only for it will inevitably lead to lots of despair.
I personally don´t want to, you know? Like, I love being by myself, I love spending time with myself, and I enjoy going out as well with family or friends, but I don´t feel any rush to start a relationship. I know what I love, I am not lost, I don´t need to find myself, and if you go into a relationship thinking that will solve your problems I have several anecdotes from friends and foes to say the contrary hahaha.
Dungeon Meshi is one of my picks for anime of the year; I regret not watching it when it aired since it has to be one of the greatest anime ever. I hope you can enjoy it.
Maybe start with a book or novel about your life, every chapter being a year of your life and how it affected you; maybe a Part A about the bad stuff, and a Part B about things that went right.
Like a YouTube channel? That sounds interesting, everyone loves those channels, even I go sometimes to some reaction videos because I want to see others' opinions about specific points of something. When Hazbin Hotel's song Addict was released I saw what I think were all the videos of people commenting on it hahaha.
That is a lot of passion for the everchanging Pop Culture, I enjoy it as well but I agree with the meme that sometimes it feels like new celebrities are being invented to keep it alive because nobody knows who they are hahaha. With that being said, it is true that Pop Culture shapes a lot of what happens in shows or movies, such as Bjork Swan's dress.
I remember Turma de Monica, it wasn´t that popular in my country but I saw some episodes on Cartoon Network.
I completely understand why Pop Culture means so much to you; it has always been there, and it will always be there even if we don´t realize it, and for how outrageous it can be at times there is no wonder why it can change a bad day for the better by replacing it with something funnier or crazier hahaha.
I am not the biggest connoisseur regarding art, and maybe in terms of analyzing it I still need practice, but I believe that everything that someone puts their effort into, whether written, painted, or drawn, can be art. Hence, I agree with you in your comment that films and manga are also art, and by reading or watching them we are absorbing their concept of art.
I am not a fan of secondhand objects, especially technological ones, videogames are an exception, but I do agree they all have a story; someone who loved them and had some of their best memories with them.
I love souvenirs so much, you can find souvenirs even in places you don´t think there will be anything good; I used to collect keyrings while in high school, and I had a pretty big collection that has been increasing thanks to relatives who had bought some for me.
Halloween I is such a great movie, and that soundtrack still scares me to this day; The Simpsons used it for the ending of an episode, and it was extremely creepy.
I don´t want to sound negative or to sound rude, but after watching the animation of that Junji Ito anime, Uzumaki, years is not enough for a good animation. Regarding Coraline, I read a few weeks ago about the interpretation of the "Welcome Home" cake; there was a double turn on the Home O, but not one in Welcome. Apparently, a double turn inside an O means the person is lying, so it represented that Coraline was welcome, but she wasn´t at home. That movie was really great and scary at the same time, for the level of analysis it required it surprised me it aired on Cartoon Network.
The case of Blade Runner reminded me of Junji Ito's Uzumaki, and quite some newer movies that need a "Snyder" cut to show what the movie was meant to be.
I completely understand, which other movies have impacted you on the same level as the movies you previously mentioned?
Minced meat, cream, and cheese are always welcomed inside any dish hahaha; I get that the vegetable flavor may not be up to most peoples' taste, but I think I will try to cook it someday just to get out of curiosity hahaha.
Exactly, I completely agree with you, the moment we start seeing something as a task or an obligation is the moment it loses all of its charm. It happened to me when I started to read Cloud of Atlas, the first part of the story used an English so archaic I barely understood a thing, things improved during chapter 2, but it was chapter 3 that made me stay.
Nice, I also keep some stuff that I did in High school; for an art class assignment we needed to recreate a painting from an artist using acrylics, it was an absolute nightmare to finish it but I still love to see it hahaha.
I see, that is quite a complex character; I am aware that there is a condition called Face Blindness that doesn´t let people remember others' faces, but from what you are mentioning Chu Sangwoo erases those faces from his memory if he doesn´t find them relevant to his daily life. I would dare to say there is some kind of autism in this character, but I would not be able to explain the level of it. Semantic Error sounds quite promising indeed, as well as complex.
I haven´t been able to watch the video yet, so I will try to when I have some free time.
Kind of like there isn't bad publicity. I don´t know, I am not against changing sexualities or ethnicities in characters, and I love when bigots and racists get their egos hurt about it, but sometimes it is hard not to think about it. I mean, as much as I like Scarlett Johansson, and even though she resembles the character quite a bit, maybe she wasn´t the best option for Ghost in the Shell. I agree that the blame is on the studios who chose the actors, and they are also at fault for delivering bad scripts, such as the situation with Dragon Ball Evolution I came to know this year only. So, yeah, there are many factors as you say.
I am aware there were some LGBT undertones regarding Riley from Inside Out, but I haven't watched the movie yet to have a full opinion regarding her sexual orientation. I don´t know anything about the shows you just mentioned, but I am aware that Disney always outdones themselves; they want to preach they are open-minded, but only when they want to and in their own terms and conditions.
Indeed, it's Disney's fault, the writers and directors of the shows want to tell a story where new characters no one has seen or heard before tell their story, that could be by facing bigotry, segregation, or homophobia, but the higherups of Disney are too stuck up to let them do it.
What a great time to be a Scooby Doo fan hahaha; I have faith in the Scooby Doo Live Action I don´t know why, but I am very curious about the Max anime.
Again, I need to have some time to watch this video, but I must say that Velma was a weird show; I cannot comprehend why they made a beloved character so hateful. I mean, she only cared about her own goals without caring how they affected others, and the moment she celebrated solving a mystery that included Fred's mom's death, I was speechless. It's funny how another hated character such as Scrappy Doo becomes popular after killing her. I don´t know what the writers were thinking when doing this cartoon, but whatever they were drinking, I wanted a cup. And I am sorry but the fact that every main character was in love with her was ridiculous, and her design does resemble a self-insert.

Oh, in my country is the opposite, we don´t ask for help because they would think we are useless hahaha. Or at least that is what I have seen for a while. Trying to cover up your mistake before anyone else can see it is the most normal thing in my opinion, but learning how to take the power of that feeling of uselessness is the best we can do for ourselves.
I feel they did a good job because even though I can be very clueless, I noticed the two of them were a couple. I am glad the producers weren´t scared of Warner. I need to watch that show again someday because I wasn´t able to finish it, but I love how mature and dark it was.
I cannot fathom how Donald Trump won the Presidential elections; to sum up, he was about to go to jail, he can still go to jail, he can governate FROM jail. The US is messed up.
Absolutely, it doesn´t matter if someone wants to kill all LGBT people from the Earth, there will still appear more in the future. As you say, hate and ignorance are the main issues regarding homophobia and discrimination.
Interestingly, like in Code Geass, by centering the whole hatred of the world inside one person or thing then everyone will have an enemy in common. Still, that one villain must be quite despicable for even their allies to leave, and to be powerful enough to be seen as a threat by the whole world.
It's so messed up how a man set to be condemned to jail feels his morals are high enough to proclaim that the rise in crime from only foreigners, especially considered the main in question, Trump, is a rapist and a friend of Epstein. What exactly is he planning to do to decrease man being single? I feel that comment is solely centered on Incels to vote for him.
Pure and blatant homophobia and transphobia, are another good bait to attract incels.
Indeed! And how the hell Americans cannot see what he is doing? He is shifting the blame onto others instead of acknowledging the real issue. Instead of proposing ideas to increase salaries and working conditions, he is just there, fueling hatred and ignorance.
Well, he cannot punish transgressors and abusers because otherwise, he would be punishing himself.
Considering all the stories coming from people who suffered discrimination immediately after Donald Trump won his first term, I have no doubt that hate is one of the most useful weapons to gather people; to center all the issues in groups who are trying to find equality and respect, and by increasing the fear that white people and man are target species, is a bitch move. It is not like everyone who belongs to the LGBT community belongs to a minority group, or identifies as a feminist is a good person either, some people can be crazy regarding skin color or sexuality, but the good ones are trying to do something for the better, and to target them as an enemy is idiotic.

Hahaha, you have a good wish for the future; make sure to be as healthy as possible to reach the 100-year mark.
I agree, I completely agree with you; I believe in the spiritual and connecting with nature, but at times is nice to buy things for yourself. I think I said it, but one of my goals is to collect the Nintendo DS games I wasn´t able to buy as a child.
Exactly, wanting money and stuff isn't bad a thing, acting better than others because you have money is what it's wrong.
Buying something for yourself on a minute of sadness, a book you've been eager to read and for which you save money, or going out with friends and family requires money, but almost guarantees to have a great time, especially if it is something you wanted to do.
Money makes things easier, and it does grant some level of happiness; money can pay for good medical treatment, therapy, for a place to live, it is necessary and can make you happy.
I am sad to say the dream died; I bought a Nintendo Wii from a place on the internet, and it didn´t work; the joysticks didn´t have enough battery no matter how many times I changed the batteries, and I couldn´t play a single game since I couldn´t calibrate them. I called because I had a guarantee for a year, and somehow the package is now lost in the mail. It is being a nightmare as of now, to be honest.
The journey can be so rocky sometimes, but I must say that at least everything that doesn´t kill makes you stronger, and also works to tell stories about the things that don´t kill you; like the meme said, my trauma my jokes hahaha.
Speaking of longevity, I was dumbfounded when I learned that a US former president who reigned before 1900, the 10th president to be more precise, has a grandson who is still alive to this day. It was something weird, the president had a son late in life, his son had a son late in life, and he is the grandson. Crazy.

I am glad to hear your mental health is fine, the end of the year can be so stressful, and it seems sometimes that people choose these days to start arguing. Still, I am glad to hear you are doing well, and I can say I am not in a bad place either hahaha.

I honestly feel Semantic Error will be a good read, and it is finished so I don´t have to wait for weekly or monthly releases. I will read it during 2025 for sure.
I never heard of Hack before, for a second I mistook it for anime that had a similar name; what is Hack about?
Casablanca? The black and white movie? It calls my attention a lot, though I think I said hahaha; I am not that into watching movies, but maybe I will give it a chance someday.
I see, so it had a huge budget but the outcome was basic, that's sad to hear, though I think it happens quite often; to spend millions of dollars on a movie that ends up being a flop. I noticed The Gray Man was based on a novel, I wonder how it was.
I like the new animation of Family Guy, it feels more fluid, unfortunately, I do feel as well that the quality dropped quite a lot; it is not as engaging as it used to be. I need to watch Fight Club as well, I have seen way too many memes of it to keep ignoring it hahaha. I am sure you are going to enjoy Dungeon Meshi, especially Laios. In the case of Bob's Burgers, go into it without too many expectations, just go with the flow.
I am so eager for the Cherry Magic movie; I don´t tend to watch recap movies at all, but I will watch this one 100%.

Yeah, I did see the current issues of OddNation Cartoons, I felt so bad while reading it since everything was going smoothly. By fine, do you mean the episode length is not going to be shortened? I saw that the issue was initially due to a former employee who was apparently a tyrant, he was fired and made a complaint with YouTube. ONC was unsure of everything and warned the fans to be ready for anything, but somehow things went well, and that former employee was set up if I recall right.
I agree to disagree on this take hahaha; Season 1 is my favorite because it had a better cast, plus it felt like everyone had a moment to show their personalities, and the conflicts were entertaining. Season 2, for me, had the best challenges undoubtedly, way better than season 1, but the cast wasn´t as strong as the first one, especially in regards to Ally who was literally an NPC the whole season. Season 3 is indeed the definition of everyone makes mistakes hahaha; regardless, I still miss that cast, I love everyone there, and it sucks that I am sure they are never coming back unless for fan messages.
I watched the first two episodes of season 4, but I will abstain for a couple of months so I can binge-watch later.
Alessio: To be honest, I am glad he was the first person voted out; he gave me way too many Alec vibes, though his small arc was compelling.
Amelie: I am sad she was the second person voted out, but at least I am glad she wasn´t a bad person, and her friendship with Hanna was pretty sweet. I hope she can come back.
Anastasia: Anastasia doesn´t give me many Winner vibes; I feel she will reach the merge but will be eliminated in the process.
Benji: Weird but wholesome in a way I cannot describe. I don´t think he will win.
Diego: I love the himbo of the season, and his possible ship with Spencer is sweet as well. I agree he looks like the type to reach the end.
Hannah: I didn´t expect to like her since I don´t tend to like goody-two-shoes, but there is something in her that makes me root for her. I hope she can advance further into the game.
Isabel: She gives me Fiore and Riya vibes. I feel she will be a minor villain in the season. I am curious about her history, she seems to be hiding a lot.
Ivy: Pre-merde or Early-merge elimination vibes, she sounds like the first half of season 2 Riya, but I don´t think her character will follow that route.
Jade: Let me say this, I wasn´t rooting for her by any means at first, but as of now she is my pick for the win. I love her personality and bad bitch vibes hahaha.
Logan: No offense, but I don´t want him to win. I prefer characters who are more morally gray or villainous, and he seems too nice. He will reach the merge for sure, but I am sensing 5th place.
Lynda: I have a soft spot for her; her feud with Marissa is completely uncalled for, and she is looking for troubles way too early in the game, but I hope she reaches the merge. I feel there is more to her than just being a housewife, maybe someone who had a dream and wasn´t able to fulfill it so now she wants to prove there is more of her to show.
Marissa: I like Marissa, I think she has a lot of potential. I feel she has the potential to win, but her relationship with Anastasia will definitely put the two of them at odds with the rest of the contestants; their closeness will lead to their downfall, like Hunter, Ally, and Tess.
Natalia: I didn´t know what to think of her at first, but I love her go-with-the-flow attitude. She is so relaxed and chill that it makes me want to be her friend hahaha.
Richard: I misjudged him at first and thought he was going to be an annoying coach of a school team, but I like how caring he is. With that being said, he is giving me elimination pre-merge or early-merge.
Spencer: He will be maybe Top 7, Top 5 at best, but I do want to see more of his character.
Ted: I like Ted, I wish he wasn´t the butt of the joke on episode 1 with the poison ivy. His background is pretty interesting, and dark if you think about it.
Tristan: Not a huge fan, I have mixed feelings regarding their almost breakdown during the physical challenge of episode 2. They gave me feelings of bullying and maybe physical abuse, but being that scared during a show that has shown physical challenges and competition made me think of him as too naive. Pre-merge or early-merge boot.
Zaid: Not my pick of the win, but I want to see his relationship with Ivy a bit more.
I know! I love how much character development and background we have been given in just three episodes, it made it easy to connect with the new cast. I feel ONC knew it was going to be hard for so many viewers to let go of the first two cast characters, but they did a splendid job introducing the newer one.
In my case, if I ever go into a reality show, I would do my best on team challenges to avoid being look as the weakest link, I would also try to help as much as possible at camp and form an alliance early on.
I love that people in fan greetings keep asking for Tess and Fiore, though I wish there were more with Grett and other characters, especially from her season. It's funny how the fandom created a whole feud between Tom and Hunter hahaha.
I feel there are several chances of an All-Stars 2, I feel it will be a literal Heroes vs Villains. By the context you are giving, I can feel how messy Drag All-Star 1 and Drag Race Global All-Stars were, and I would compare DC Season 3 to Survivor All-Stars; Survivor All-Stars was presented as the best season ever with amazing returning players, but it was a complete mess with a lot of bad blood, feelings getting hurt, sexual harassment, contestants sleeping in the forest with rain pouring down on them, and way more dark moments.
Personally, some of my favorite moments include Grett taking defeat like a champion in S3, Tom bidding farewell to other heroes, the Season 2 finale where everyone was doing their stuff and being happy, Yul's rant (He was an asshole but his comment to Riya was savage and iconic hahaha), the crazy elimination of Lill and Ashley, the crazy elimination of Tom in S1, and all three musical presentations in S3, especially Born to Drive Me Crazy.
I know! Hahaha, there is a lot to say, it has been a while so we needed this one to catch up hahaha.
I have heard of MADK's craziness, especially of a certain throat scene that left everyone speechless. I am not going to lie, it looks twisted, and it caught my attention.
Oh, don´t make me talk about Houseki no Kuni, I am not ready to vomit my honest opinion; I hate how much I love this manga. But one of the few things I will say is the following heartfelt sentence: Fuck you, Cairngorm.
I finished reading I Think My Son is Gay a few months ago, and I honestly feel it could be adapted into short episodes, like 5 minutes each.

I am sorry, I haven´t watched any of the movies you mentioned ): I am not that into movies, and this year wasn´t an exception; I wanted to watch the new Hunger Games movies, but my plans fell apart. I will watch Lookism, though I have postponed it way too much.

Regarding shows, will Arcane have another season? I haven't watched this show, but I heard how good it is. I have heard great things about the new Fairly Oddparents cartoon, and that it hints several things to the first cartoon. Please, let me know if Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda ever reunite, even for a second.
I have read several mixed opinions regarding Batman Cape Crusader, but again, everyone is allowed to have their opinion. I hope that one day the Webtoon Batman: Wayne Family Adventures receive an adaptation as well.

A Nosferatu movie in 2025? That is quite interesting, I will add it to my list. I don´t want to have expectations for the new movie of Madoka, I know it will be great, but I honestly want a happy ending. That's all. The new Superman movie looks quite promising, but people are already criticizing character depictions, who look exactly like their comics counterpart!

Oh no, hell no, I am not ready for anything like Bojack Horseman at all; that cartoon broke me in several different ways. Welcome to Derry sounds promising, and I will try to watch it as well. Go For it! Nakamura! and The Summer Hikaru Died are definitely a must, I am eager to see the two of them.
I don´t like Marvel, and Spiderman is not my favorite character, but this new show looks promising.

Oh yeah, I think I still have the link to your Letterbox and TVTIME, I will try to follow them and your progress.
Até a próxima vez, MMATEUS, Foi um prazer como sempre.
Desejo-lhe um Feliz Natal e um Próspero Ano Novo. Que este novo ano seja repleto de bênçãos C:
Hazbyn Sep 11, 2024 9:58 PM
Ugh, I get that feeling, sometimes it happened to me as well; I was sitting there, listening to everything, but I just couldn´t retain a word at all. Try to take some rest, especially when you are studying; if you feel it is too much, leave it there, breathe some air, have something to eat, and then go back a bit more relaxed.
Physiotherapy and then Psychology, you are truly set to help the world; are planning to open your own center? Aside from a small definition I don´t know much about that career, what can you tell me about it?
Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary, I mean I was still a bit sick last week and I still went to a party hahaha.
As far as I am aware every country programmed the school calendar to leave the hottest months of the year for vacations; which I think is reasonable because nobody wants to be sitting in a classroom during the summer. Imagine being in school, returning to your classroom after running in physical education, in the summer.
I Googled his name, and when I found out he was indeed a dentist I just smiled, I don´t know why hahaha; it is kind of cool that an anarchist who fought for his country was a dentist. I got a question out of curiosity, what do Brazilians think of Portugal? I know this event happened during the eighteenth century, but I am a bit interested and I don´t know which pages are more faithful to read.
I hope your sleep just keeps getting better.
Those types of therapists are the best, I will always love the one I met in college; I even thanked her in the greetings of my dissertation. I hope she keeps helping you.
Don't worry, I am sure the number is quite high hahaha; I honestly haven't been feeling that anxious regarding messages so much lately, I am a bit surprised, to be honest.
By humble origins are we referring to Remy, right? I remember most of his story because I swear I cannot remember much about the human whose name I think was Alfredo, aside from that he was almost kidnapped by aliens at the beginning of the film. Yet, in Remy's perspective, I can feel how he was the representation of someone who came from an unprivileged background into a world of high cuisine.
Oh, I see your point very well: the passion most people have for music, writing, arts, or acting. I mean, it is discouraging to think sometimes how many people with uncanny talent went out there and didn´t make it, yet that lingering feeling of going against the norm and thinking you will make it is so appealing hahaha.
While I share many traits with my family and relatives, I am also the most introverted member among social and bubbly golden retrievers hahaha. May I ask in which ways you are different from what you expected?
I completely get what you mean by that, it happens to me when I read; wanting to write characters that feel so alive and appealing is something I always love. Recently though it happened when watching Dungeon Meshi; that anime was so awesome, and the second opening somehow motivates me a lot.
Well, one never knows, maybe one day you can write a memoir and it will be picked up by a studio; everyone's life can be a movie.
Was Ego the food critic? I don´t know why but I really loved his design in the movie. After learning in past messages about your love for movies I can completely understand what you mean by admiring films; wouldn´t that make you a connoisseur?
I want to say something, while I get that the Ratatouille is a food made entirely of well-known vegetables, when I saw that scene in the movie I couldn´t stop thinking about how hard to made and how luxurious it looked. Yet, it made the restaurant critic, who was the worst nightmare of everyone in the food industry, remember his humble origins in the most innocent and joyful moment of the day: when he went back home and his mom was waiting for him.
Same here! I loved watching VHS movies so much; I remember having copies of several movies from The Land Before Time, one of my favorite franchises, and I think I also had a copy of a Rugrats special. I had a collection of DVD movies as well, I think one I enjoyed quite a lot was Leroy and Stich, as well as the X-man live-action franchise.
Hahaha, I wasn´t so invested but if I enjoyed a movie to that level I also watched it as many times as possible. It was funny to notice things you didn´t see before.
Indeed, while I am not particularly a fan of movie theaters, and I prefer series, movies have always been a source of tranquility and enjoyment.
Something similar happened to me; I remember being in high school, and one day I decided to open Word and began to write. I wrote one of the most plagiarized books ever hahaha, but it was still something I enjoyed doing, I mean, the first book I completed was more than 300 pages long, and on the second one I actually wrote a thousand. I know now I enjoy writing quite a bit.
For real? I am honestly surprised; videos of people preparing Ratatouille always appeared on my Facebook and Instagram feed from time to time, and it always looked delicious. I am frankly a bit disappointed hahaha; would it be something that Salt could fix? Do you think a bit of Abacate/Abocado/Palta would go well with it?
If you have time, do it; I mean, why not? A classmate from college is now teaching rollerblading, something he always loved and was passionate about; life works in different ways, so maybe a book from the perspective of a movie fan will be interesting.
The sister of a classmate did the same when she heard Tokio Hotel, she said her sister even rolled on the floor in ecstasy and no one could talk with her after the song ended. I wonder how it would feel to go into a trance and feel that type of connection with something; must be an interesting experience.
As a kid I also thought how cool it would be for the Scooby gang to be real, I think that is why I absolutely love the 2002 live-action; best live-action ever.
For real? How old were you when you started analyzing so in detail the movies you watched? I mean, as a kid, I thought the Power Rangers were real, I never analyzed how bad and cheesy the dialogues were until I was a teen. Still, is impressive how much attention you put into it.
I could see that, I really enjoyed your Jun review, and while I want to read it, the part regarding bigotry towards the MC is a bit discouraging; I think I would be either way too emotional or furious at those displays. I will try to read it though.
Hahaha, I actually pictured that scene; I don´t know if could concentrate enough to enjoy a movie to that level. Wait, by no sound you mean no sound from the movie or outside sources?
Now that I think about it, the one time I felt I was transported inside a video was the time I heard a presentation from The Killers at Glasgow; it was from their song Mr. Brightside, and I swear the crowd and the lead singer were epic.

Margot Robbie has so much range; she can perform whatever role is given to her. I don´t watch many movies, but if she ever gets nominated for the Oscars once again, let me know and I will cheer up for her with a lighted candle next to me hahaha.
Now that I think about it, back in middle school some teachers taught me about artistic movements, I remember doing a presentation about gothic art; since I want to forget most about that time I think I blocked it.
I remembered Abaporu as well, I didn´t like it that much, it's nothing personal; was that for a class or during your free time?
I don´t know much about art or artistic movements, and maybe that is why I can't see anything in that painting, less alone a quarter of how deeply you analyzed it.

With all the things you are saying, especially the meticulously organized part, is Chu Sangwoo on the autistic spectrum or are we talking about OCD? I would love to see a BL romantic relationship when one of the parts is on the spectrum; it reminds me of a couple from the Shadowhunters.
So he was paired with the popular senior, removed his name from the assignment, and the senior failed to graduate; that is kind of big. That happened to a classmate in college; this girl who was known for having good grades but always missing lessons and her big love to party asked her friend group to include her in their dissertation (O tesis, que es la última frontera a cruzar para graduarte) group; her friends decided to believe she was being serious, she ignored the group calls and texts to join a meeting for a serious topic and instead went out to party. Long story short, her friends kicked her out of the group, she failed that class, and needed to take it the next year.
So, this is a hate-to-love story or enemies-to-lovers; I love it! I will try to read the Manhwa at some point, or maybe I will try and see if I find the novels. I know the development of a videogame can be stressful as hell, especially if you want to avoid glitches, so I can see how annoyed Chu Sangwoo must feel. Have you watched the four episodes animation?
Those story that gives you mixed feelings are the most interesting ones; only the end will tell if you love it or not hahaha. I will try to read it since it caught my attention.
I still feel shocked that she admitted she would have allowed even worse things done to her. The fact someone cut her neck to drink her blood was evil. She got her point loud and clear.
I am honestly surprised that people stayed there for six hours; I read that people at first were very nice, but soon they started getting twisted. I know I would have felt like shit if they slashed my clothes, so I would have felt horrible for her.
The one person who took the weapon, and the other one who fought him to get it back should have been studied; one of them chose the inner voice and the other one kept his morals.
That is a very good saying, a great one indeed.
That's exactly what art is, subjective; you can love it, hate it, analyze it, and feel uncomfortable by it. In the end, everyone will have an opinion and will never be overlooked. I was really young when I first watched Ratatouille, so maybe that played a factor in what I didn´t see; I will try to watch it again and see if something hits now. I mean, I watched Encanto some months ago after never being a huge Disney fan, and afterward, I kept watching it and finding new details I didn´t notice before.
I remembered this painting that became quite controversial in my country, I know it was painted by an Italian artist but I don´t know the original name of the painting, I know the translation would be El Niño que Llora, and it was quite a deal because it was said the paintings were cursed and brought misery to whoever owned them, and aunt had a copy and my grandma made her threw it away.
A painting that always makes me feel uncomfortable is The Hands Resist Him; I cannot stare at it for more than some seconds.
Oh, the Dyatlov Pass Incident is so creepy, especially the parts regarding the state of their bodies, the state of their belongings, and that it was found radiation in one of the victims. I guess we will never found what happened to them. And, it is indeed a terrifying situation similar to Mount Everest; I wonder if there are unresolved crimes in that mountain, I guess the ice preserved some of those bodies, and investigating what happened to them should not be that hard. Maybe a crime series would be interesting as well.
I watched a kill count of Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey 1, it looked creepy, but overall the consensus was that the movie had a good idea but didn´t develop it that well, whereas the second film received more praise. I am kind of interested in the Peter Pan horror movie since I always found him to be a villain. Overall, The Twisted Childhood Universe has some very promising projects.
I think that was what happened with the film Buzz Lightyear; one of the characters was a lesbian woman in a relationship with a child, and it was only stated near the end. And still, conservatives tried to boycott the project due to a small kiss.
I am curious to ask, I am honestly happy just to see LGBT representation in the media, but I know it is not the same for everyone; how can an LGBT character be written properly? I want to get more perspective on the matter; personally, I consider the show Heartbreak High to be a good exponent of how to develop LGBT characters.
Disney only values income, that's it; they don´t care about LGBT or racial inclusion, just look at them trying to trademark Dia de los Muertos. Now they need to trademark Colombia. I heard about The Owl House, and I found it horrible that they pulled it out from TV since that could have been the perfect pillar for them to lean on, but they kept showing their true colors and rejected what could have been their best and most inclusive exponent by adding it to Disney+ and shortening the season.
Netflix is producing a Scooby Doo Live Action? I need to see that, it would be funny if the cast from the first live-action returned as the villains in different seasons. Back to the topic, it's true that viewers complain about the lack of new content and originality, yet they pulverize whatever is new and different if they don´t like it. At the end of the day, I get that they keep producing new content for old series, comics, movies, and shows, it is easier to rely on their fandom to get a reaction, especially a negative one, just look at Velma and how much the Scooby Doo fandom hates that cartoon.
Love Me for Who I Am was such a great manga, and I love that title so much; it feels so relatable and striking as well. I never heard of Is Love the Answer before, but I will read its synopsis. Koe no Katachi broke my heart, it was such an amazing manga/movie; I don´t care what anyone says, to this day I hate Ueno. Another example of a good manga that tackles sexual orientation and homophobia is Our Dreams at Dusk.
A very nice plot for a manga; it could be interesting to read and see what happens there, especially considering that the couple would only have each other in the end. It made me remember a movie from my country called Una Mujer Fantastica where a woman (Portrayed by transgender actress Daniela Vega) suffers harassment and transphobia at the hands of her ex-wife and family from her deceased boyfriend's family.
Amnesia feels like an abusive trope for me, especially if the other genre was romance. It feels like taking advantage of the person with no memory.
Undead Unluck is a great manga, I recommend you to start there and then move into the anime; the anime is great as well, and it has amazing voice acting and a perfect soundtrack.
Don´t worry, some things are hard to forget, talking about those issues also makes me remember, unwantedly; guess, the day I go back to therapy, I will try to tackle some of those issues as well.
Why are you ashamed of that? I mean, if someone wants to look after you in a bad moment out of kindness then I don´t think there is something wrong with that.
The word "Mistake" made me remember a lyric from the cover of Dungeon Meshi's second opening: "Mistakes are fun to make", which makes me remember some anecdotes from college with varied endings hahaha. Still, and as I always have said, those teachers who help their students in time of need, as well as leading them to the right answer to an exercise instead of giving it directly, are the best.
Exactly, the moment you discriminate against others your opinion loses all validity.
Yeah, the Asian stereotypes were all over TV for a long time; I love the Hex Girls so much, ever since they debuted in the movies I just want them all the time there hahaha. I didn´t remember Luna was whitewashed, I Googled it up and it is true; her design is the same, but her skin changed. Daphne was so cool in the movies, I still have the scene where she beat that pro wrestler villain, and I know you are going to hate me for saying this, but I liked that small crush on the guy she met at the hotel; I honestly loved everyone had a romantic interest in that film. Still, I enjoyed she received more development in later cartoons, and her crush on Coco Diablo was sweet; correct me if I am wrong, but wasn´t Marcie killed during that cartoon? I swear I saw a scene where something bad happened to her. Mystery Incorporated was a dark cartoon. While I am not against changing the ethnicity of other characters, the way Velma was portrayed in Velma is blasphemous; that scene where she is celebrating Fred's mom's death while everyone else was there nearly traumatized is quite a nasty scene.
I was very young when I watched the reruns of Where Are You? But I remember feeling scared at the intro. Since I grew up watching What's New Scooby-Doo I grew up attached to it; plus, the intro was a masterpiece hahaha. Despite my reservations about Velma, I enjoy how progressive most incarnations of Scooby-Doo have been; I heard the first Live Action was supposed to be more adult-centric but the studio changed quite some things.
I mean, back in the day, several cartoons and movies were pretty LGBT-coded and people didn´t see the clues, which were extremely visible. It's funny how homophobes complain or inclusion in big franchises, and then complain again when the inclusion is in something not so known. Like, people, the rainbow will not disappear just because you don´t like it, especially when the representation is suitable for all ages.
Well, that is pretty ambiguous; I wonder if he was trying to say yes but thought readers would not like it, which is weird considering several of his characters are part of the community. Yet, I feel people have more issues when the character in question is the main character and not a side or recurring one.
Nice to hear that, it will not be something hard to follow the narrative changing depending on the universe.
That is quite an ending, that movie will forever be top 10 darkest psychological movies ever; they managed to scare the audience without even needing to kill a single character. Accomplishing perfection and then leaving at the top, I am sure I heard that somewhere before. Still, for some reason, I want to argue that maybe she survived hahaha.
For real? You want to live that long? I personally consider living that long one of my biggest nightmares.
I mean, your reasoning makes sense, especially considering that people may need to at least work until they are 60 years old, and that after that is just living. Still, as I said before, I personally consider reaching that age not one of my goals hahaha.
Yeah, I hate that all the years we spent hating who we were instead of embracing what we enjoyed will never return; I wish the me from school didn't hate himself for not liking what others liked, and basically forced himself to go out every weekend to underage drinking just not to feel pathetic for staying at home watching TV.
I completely understand what you mean by that, especially because I try to avoid thinking about those years as much as possible, and that is why I prefer to be open with the things I love right now. I think this year I will fulfill a wish the younger me wanted for a long time: to buy a Nintendo Wii. I know it sounds materialistic, but that was something I always wanted during the worst period of my life, and maybe that way will be a way to heal.
I completely understand what you mean by that, and I feel your lifelong goal to reach the life you always wanted is very reasonable; don´t force yourself in the way, and also enjoy everything you are doing now as well. What I think I am trying to say is, try to be as happy as possible while you do what you want to do.
Experience cool things, read books, and watch movies are some great ways to make the journey a bit more enjoyable.
Determination and strength are great values and don´t worry, everyone in the world is traumatized hahaha; talk in-depth with your therapist if that is what you need.
Sometimes TV shows can really help to deal a bit with personal concerns regarding life and death; I remember reading that quote on a post but I didn´t quite understand it. Now, my interpretation is that life will always move forward one way or another; maybe reincarnation is real and we all come back in a different way. I am not trying to sound disrespectful, but when writing this I couldn´t stop thinking about the seagull from certain anime.

That is why I simply cannot like anime, manga, or stories overall where a character is said from the beginning they be the predestined hero set to find fame and fortune in life. It is understandable when a character who spent their whole life training and perfecting their abilities turns sour when someone gets selected by a magic sword that gives them unlimited power in a second.
I feel that is a reason why I enjoy Naruto so much; yes, he was part of a lineage that gave him a lot of power and had a demon fox sealed inside him. But he trained, he tried, and he always gave his best even when his whole village ostracized him. He had more reasons than anyone to be a villain and still chose to be nice.
Also, I couldn´t stop thinking about Sharpay Evans from HSM and how she was one way or another screwed in every film. I feel the last one was completely unnecessary.
I feel the producers held a grudge against Gwen since her finale winning was more popular than Owens, and Owen was the producer's favorite, so I guess that explains how he reached the merge three times. He is a nice guy, but I feel the show forced him into the viewers way too much.

Indeed, writers have always found a way to convey a different message than the popularity of the one established.
I need to watch Saltburn one of these days, that movie seems so creepy yet so well-written that I feel I will enjoy it. Honestly, Barry Keoghan looks so much like a villain, that I can see him delivering more characters like Oliver until he wins an Oscar.
I have never watched black and white films in my life, but there are some that really caught my attention, such as Casablanca and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? I have always heard about the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and also that the two of them were excellent actresses; I may eye more of their films as well.

Same here, though I cannot remember where I saw your user name, I am also thankful I sent it that friend request C:

What makes you think you may have ADHD or be autistic? Not criticizing by any means, but I am just getting curious since a lot of people these days are being told they are on the spectrum. Something that always gets me thinking is how the first person ever to be diagnosed with Autism died last year.
I will try to watch the first video during my free time, and I will need to improve my Portuguese a bit more to watch the second one without Google translator hahaha.

Really? How were Deadpool and Wolverine? I have heard nothing but praise for it, but I am curious about something, how was the portrayal of Gambit by Channing Tatum? He always wanted to portray that character, but while I recognized he is a great actor, I cannot see him in the role. I think I am part of the lucky ones who have never experienced people talking at the movie theater; maybe one kid running around without their parents looking after them, but no annoying noise.
Jordan Peele is a genius, Us and Get Out are excellent films; I swear I think I saw him on some videos before, I am sure he was part of the ensemble of MADTV. I've only watched videos of MADTV on YouTube, but for a comedy show it was dark; most of their jokes will never fly under the radar these days.
After reading all the names of the films you have watched I think I need to start watching more movies hahaha.
I enjoyed watching Woody Woodpecker as a kid, it was such a funny cartoon; Fox Kids was one of the best channels ever, and Jetix lived up to the expectations as well, but Disney XD was horrible.
What was The Gray Man about? A movie I remember not liking that much was This is Were I Leave You; I enjoyed the trailer a lot, but it wasn't my cup of tea, the characters were great, but something about the writing was off.
As I mentioned above, I will see if I can find a copy of Semantic Error since it caught my attention; I am currently on the third book of the Mortal Instruments from The Shadowhunters, afterward, I will read the prequel of the Hunger Games, and then I will move into Percy Jackson.
I am so pissed that some weeks ago I went to a book interchange at a popular second-hand bookstore in my city; I was screwed so bad by a stupid change of rules.
I never heard of Hacks before, and after looking up and seeing the name of Kaitlin Olson I know that show is great. I finished watching Dungeon Meshi on Netflix, which I utterly adored, and before that, I finished Bob's Burgers and Family Guy.
Mullholand Drive makes me remember one of my favorite songs, LA Devotee by Panic! At The Disco. I heard the movie is great by the way, and I also want to watch Fight Club.
Cherry Magic is nice, I enjoyed that anime a lot; I am eager for the sequel which I don´t remember if it was a movie or an OVA. I think I will watch Terminator 0 as well on Netflix.

Yes, let's go hahaha.
Excuse me? Ours hahaha; I am sure we already wrote at least 100 pages.
I know, Odd Nations did a terrific job; they created something so enjoyable and appealing. I may have had some reservations regarding the eliminations of some contestants, but all and all I was more invested in this than in some seasonals.
Season 1: Good cast.
Season 2: Goog challenges.
Season 3: Good intentions hahaha.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed All Stars a lot, and I cannot stop thinking about how dark the season was; everything felt more personal rather than strategic.
I have seen several times a post from the director of Odd Nations who revealed the original boot order and who was the original winner of the season, and it was quite different from what we saw.
I understand what you mean, and I respect why you like him so much, but he annoyed me so much during season 2, and while I enjoyed his two-episode redemption arc, as well as him apologizing to Rosa and giving her a part of the prize, he is not part of my top 10.
I don´t get why people get angry over strategy and alliance, that is part of being in a reality show; in the first season of Survivor, which aired in 2000, most contestants considered it unfair to form alliances and were against them, and even viewers thought of them as cheating. Sadly, that is part of the game, you have to have people by your side and target whoever is the biggest threat.
I have had some time to think about it, I still feel it was a bit of racial profiling considering he immediately doubted Rosa, but I may be reading way too much into detail. I concede my dislike for him at the time may have been a reason why I read too much into his actions. Yul was definitely discriminating against Rosa for her ethnicity, yet he is character was designed to be an asshole and the Angatonist for the first half of the season, plus he didn't care about anyone but himself.
At first, it was hard for me to see James and Aiden's relationship as genuine, but over time I came to like them a lot; James accepted Aiden and gave him a feeling of belonging, and at the same time James became more humble. I came to actually like him when he talked with Yul during the Motel episode, it seemed that he almost got something good to come out of that jerk hahaha.
In the end, James is a good character, and I am glad he was the second winner of the franchise. He did some great things. Honestly, the final episode of Season 2, where everyone was gathered to see James winning the prize, felt so emotional, especially the part with that music and Karol helping the moose.
Is he confirmed for the spin-off? I know Ellie, Gabby, and Mariam were confirmed as recurring, and Aiden, Ashley, and Lake as cameo.
It would have felt nice to see more of Karol, someone once said that if animals like you then you cannot be a bad person, and the way animals felt so comfortable with Karol felt deep. I wish Lill and her appeared on All-Stars.
Ok, here I go, not in order by the way: Fiore, Jake, Tom, Ellie Alec, Grett, Lake, Tess, Aiden, and Hunter.
I said it in my DM, and I will repeat it: I would love to see more of Fiore, if she appeared as an adult in a later season it would be fun to see. I love how much she cares for Alec and trolls him at the same time; the alimony comment was savage hahaha.
Don´t get me wrong, the episode where Connor quit to let Jake and Ally in the competition made me cringe at Jake who couldn´t stop arguing with Ally, cost her the win which would have guaranteed Riya's elimination, and lashed out at Connor in an unfair way. Still, the final two episodes made me like him a bit more since his mind was in the competition and even James who disliked him came to respect him a bit.
I mean yeah, he is a bit immature, but he is in his 20s and nobody is mature at that age. Is like a weird stage where you aren´t a teenager anymore yet you cannot feel like an adult. Plus, I saw in one of his Patreon videos his mental health was destroyed by his ex and the friends who sided with him.
Who isn´t weird when in love? Plus, men in love are weird and more immature. The boyfriend excuse Tom used has been used by several men in my country hahaha.
I get what you say, he was a highly-trained spy, but people can be professional at their workplace and a mess in their private life, and in a Patreon video he revealed Jake was the first man he ever liked as well as his first kiss, so I guess there is a reason as well behind why he put Jake on a pedestal and was afraid of breaking that vision.
I feel that was a factor; just look at it, while Ellie and Fiore played their respective roles in Tom's elimination, it was Jake playing the idol to save Jake, and Jake's vote for him, that were also crucial. Just imagine getting humiliated when some reality show contestants revealed that their eliminations sometimes were so humiliating people harassed them for years and ruined their mental health. While this may sound like analyzing too much, I am sure Tom, like Grett and Ally, was also a target of the internet. While I feel two years was too much, and that he also was a bit hypocritical, I can understand his reasoning, which is the same as how Jake's scarred him.
I understand your point, Ashley's elimination was mostly his fault and I concede that, but let's be honest Aiden's elimination wasn´t his fault; maybe partially considering his feud with Ally progressed for the worse, yet I would also be mad if someone left to die on a cave with a bear.
Sometimes I remember how fast the questions from that challenge grew in meanness; some people say Grett's question to Jake was cruel, but her question to Alec was dark, and the true answer as well.
I saw that on a Reddit post and I agree; Tom and Jake aren´t a bad couple, they just need more communication. I wonder if their respective brothers and families will appear in the spin-off. I am so eager for October to come!
Hahaha, don´t worry, everything is fine, especially since the final episode reunited them again; I am so happy.
I knew Jake wasn´t winning, and while I was rooting for him, what makes me the saddest is that this will be the last time we will see the cast from seasons 1 and 2, I grew so attached to them, and this season overall feels so bittersweet and gloomy, yet it was the type of finale were the winner ends up alone and everyone else gets a happy ending. Connor really wanted to be with Riya, but in the end, he gave up; I am glad he married someone who seemed to make him happy. What makes me the happiest: TomJake is back! I am so happy they are together again, and I really want to see their spin-off. It was nice to see Lill, Will, and Nick once again, though I wish all the contestants who didn´t make it appeared in a cameo as well. Watching Ellie and Tess graduating, Ally reaching 1 Million subscribers, Alec teaching Fiore, and Aiden, Lake, and James traveling with Rosa were some of the best moments ever. I also wonder if Riya's sister will be part of the Season 4 cast.
It's a bit weird to see that Riya still had a career after the reality ended, but it is common that in real life the most controversial participants always get more attention. Still, despite knowing everything she did, I cannot stop feeling a bit sad for her; a comment that hit me was that she saw everyone being happy and she wanted to be part of it, but now nobody wants her around.
The thing that felt out of character was Kristal wanting to leave; I mean, I understand she missed Oliver, Marcus, and Nina, but for her to leave like that felt a bit out of character.
In the end, thanks a lot for recommending this show to me, this show really grew on me; and I am eager to see season 4. All and all, I will miss these characters way too much.
What are your thoughts on the ending?

Emotional dependence on Banana Fish... That must have hurt quite a lot.

A Global All-Stars, that is quite a great premise, I like it when reality shows do that; the last time I saw it was on Top Chef. I checked it out and I am sorry the Brazilian representative was voted out so soon. What was the negative criticism about?
It's nice to hear she was a good representation.

What's left to say is:
Foi bom ouvir de você. Espero que seus estudos corram bem, tente descansar, y meus melhores votos para o resto do ano (Espero se entienda).
Até a próxima vez que conversamos novamente, amigo; saudações do Chile.

P.S. What were some of your favorite moments from Disventure Camp?
I must say I laughed a lot when Miriam hit Dan with the row out of the boat hahaha.
Hazbyn Jul 21, 2024 10:24 PM
Hahaha, don´t worry about it, how has school treated you?
I still feel some symptoms occasionally, but Influenza is almost completely gone.
Wow, I cannot see myself having classes in February; December, January, and February are peak hot and sunny weather. My whole life February meant holidays. I am too conditioned into it now that I think about it hahaha.
It's great to have some holidays between school days, it can be hella relaxing; I know most of the ones you mentioned except for Tiradents, what do you celebrate there?
Hahaha, yeah, the transition from school sleep routine to holidays and vice-versa is terrible; especially the first days when you still wake up early in the morning. I had some of the worst headaches after the summer of my second year of college, I needed to go to the doctor who gave me some pills. I hope you can regulate it.
I will never stop saying how wonderful therapy is; I love therapy, and I am glad when people tell me they had good experiences with it. It's always cathartic to speak about the things that weighted on us in a safe place—my best regards in that new chapter.
Those therapists are so hard to find; I am so grateful for the one I met, she helped me a lot, didn´t judge me, and didn´t comply when I was wrong. Now that you found her (or him), release everything and try to heal as much as possible.
Melancholy works in very odd ways, and often in the most unpleasant moments, such as past midnight when one is trying to sleep. It's impossible to heal overnight, and forgiving and forgetting takes time; it's a whole process that has quite some ups and downs, and I wish you the best in that journey.
I never relate to something so much hahaha. Every time I talk on WhatsApp with someone I immediately start overthinking about the same things you say, and anxiety comes when they take time to reply hahaha. To be honest, I think I am getting better at handling it; in the past, I would feel depressed, but now I don´t even notice it.
Ratatouille isn´t my favorite movie, it just didn´t click with me, though I did get the message of how much nostalgia can hit when something reminds us of the good old days. I don´t know if you told me, but what was your perception of Rataoutille?
It was indeed surprising the amount of nominations Barbie received, I must say I am happy the movie was so well received, and though I have my reservations with Billie Eilish I am happy the movie won best song. I only wish for Margot Robbie to someday win the Oscar, she deserves it.

I enjoy listening to music when on my computer doing a task; I don´t have a playlist, but the genre tends to change drastically in every way possible hahaha.
Really? What did she teach? In my experience doing crafts can always vary from enjoyable to mental instability hahaha; what do you usually create? It must be nice to spend time doing crafts, my mom enjoys sewing and sometimes I get curious and think about asking her how to do it.
Art is the best, at school, we needed to choose between art and music and I always picked art; it was nice to do something outside of always writing in my notebook like in every other class. I immediately recognized The Starry Night and The Scream hahaha, on the contrary, this is the first I heard of Abaporu, and though I knew the painting of Salvador Dali I never knew its name. I prefer expressionism if I must be honest; I looked up expressionism and there wasn´t a single work of art that didn´t make me feel either interest or discomfort. As a kid, I was a bit afraid of The Scream hahaha.
Tell me, what comes into your mind when you are watching the Abaporu and/or the Persistence of Time?
Oh right, Semantic Error was a novel before it was a Manhwa, and before it was a TV show. What is the story about? I haven´t been reading that much either in the past weeks; I finished the second book series of The Shadowhunter Chronicles, The Last Hours, which didn´t receive many good critiques, but I loved it. I loved the main group, and how caring they were for one another, I felt bad when they argued and fought, and while I consider one or two more chapters could have given the story a bit more insight, it was a decent trilogy. 8/10 in my book.
Ugh, Mother, my mind almost erased the existence of that movie; it was a bit disturbing, and the bible does have some dark passages, so maybe the director painted what he saw in his mind. You made me remember a book I had to read in high school; I think the name was El Tunel by Ernesto Sabato, and was the story of a painter who became obsessed with the only person who saw a small detail he painted on a painting, he stalked her and killed her. I remembered because it´s true, that people tend to disagree with the interpretation they give to something they love, whereas in movies, books, music, or art, everything is subjective, and even authors tend to like interpretations that they didn´t consider before.
I can understand that maybe Salvatore Garau's invisible art was a satire, but what the fuck is wrong with the people who spent $15000 on something invisible? Like, for real, what the fuck?
Thanks for teaching me about Duchamp's Urinal, it was the first time I heard it, and in a way I cannot describe it, I love the art and I respect the artist hahaha.
By the way, I nearly forgot to ask you this, but what do you think about Marina Abramović's Rythm Zero?
At the end of the day, we like it or not, art is subjective and everyone's opinions have a level of veracity and canon on them. I get what you mean about AI's art, I am not an expert on art by any means and I do think there are some pretty AI pieces of art, though I get what you mean that they are soulless. Honestly, I feel it is unfair to submit works of art made by artificial intelligence with a "painter" who only gives some commands on a keyboard.
I am not going to lie, I don´t like it when I start to theorize, philosophize, and analyze things in detail because I tend to fall into an obsessive territory where I cannot stop thinking about it and need to share it with someone else hahaha. Still, it is nice to get those subtexts by old writers, or artists overall, who were trying to convey a deeper message than the one that made their stories famous.

I haven't read it yet, but I have always heard that the Jurassic Park book was frankly a horror book and that the dinosaurs were far worse than how they were portrayed; kind of like they knew and enjoyed what they were doing. I think I saw a Godzilla horror movie but I cannot remember it very well, but a Transformers horror movie would be amazing; imagine it is like a digital virus that took control of cars and began a killing spree in a big city; or, that only Decepticons arrived to the Earth and to deliver their message they began showing their power annihilating the strongest countries.
You know, I was watching Family Guy and they talked about the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster; after reading about the incident, and several other ominous details, I wonder why nobody has produced a horror movie or written a horror book about Mount Everest.
Nowadays a man is producing horror movies based on classic cartoon movies; he already produced two Winnie the Pooh horror movies, and there are upcoming Peter Pan and Bambie ready to debut.
Yeah, I get what you mean; I honestly found it weird how Suzanne Collins just announced a new prequel for The Hunger Games and a movie is already in the oven. In anime words, we saw a great story about a guy with a Demon fox sealed inside him, and now we are forced to see material about his unlikeable kid, while at the same time, there are movies, light novels, spinoffs, and a lot more about other characters who are thankfully more likable.
I am now thinking that my issue with the Marvel movies is described by what you are saying. I am curious about Inside Out 2, but I guess I will wait until it airs on Disney+ hahaha. But yeah, what you say is absolutely true, while it is nice sometimes to get remakes and sequels, they don´t always work and people prefer to think they never existed. I didn´t know Megamind had a sequel; I Googled it and it only has 9% of positive reviews, that's rough.
I am so pissed off that I couldn´t enjoy Haikyuu at the cinema; I think it wasn´t such a hit because it stayed on the movie billboards for a month and a half. I am honestly waiting for the Kimetsu no Yaiba movies to air because I will definitely be there.
Believe me, when I say this, I am one of Disney's biggest haters; they are a bunch of hypocrites, two-faced, and opportunistic bitches, but after a while they can produce good things. The few things I chose to watch on Disney+ have left me thinking and with a smile on my face, but what is that that makes you think they are producing things to only please people? Was it a series or a movie?
As I mentioned above, I tend to get way too into things once something caught my attention; I remember wanting to learn how to play Hanafuda after watching Summer Wars hahaha. Or, I start overthinking about everything like what happened after I watched Netflix documental about Jeffrey Epstein. While it is great and entertaining to get into something that makes you think, I prefer to watch something uncompromising that makes me laugh or smile, and you can even find things that hit you deep and make you think; such as in the first Scooby-doo live action when the Scooby gang began to question their self-worth, their egos clashed, and at the end of the day they realized how much they care for each other and made amends.
I didn´t watch the 2020 Scooby-doo movie, so I cannot give my opinion regarding the movie; just that it was about the origins of the team, they teamed up with a superhero, and that it was a box-office bomb due to COVID-19.
Hahaha, I guess we all hoped to be part of the gang; they traveled all around the world like it was nothing, had fun, and were a tight team. I will always stand by the fact the first cast for the Live Action was perfection and I am willing to die on that hill.
Are you kidding me?! I cannot believe this! This year has been rough, but there have been quite some glimmers of hope; if the original Live Action cast members return for a final movie I will die in piece.
Yeah, sometimes movies and shows can be a bit too complex to understand; I watched Sonny Boy some years ago and I swear I didn´t understand WTF happened there. Way too complicated.
It would be awesome to see a draw in big awards shows to vary things; I know these things are a competition for who was the best, but sometimes it'd be nice to see more than one person or film to receive the statue. It can lead to some iconic moments, but I feel it would turn too repetitive and everyone would get tired.

Hahaha, my mom is the same; she never wants to watch horror movies on TV, but sometimes she just goes with the flow and watches them. I think we watched together one of the Conjuring movies, the least scary one revolving around the daughter and her babysitter.
Typical dad, mine is already planning to go to the stadium in a few days hahaha.

Schoolwork, and learning by doing things, should be above tests; presentations, writing tasks, and expositions are great ways to check if students understood the content, and constant tests, while useful as well, can be stressful.
You touched on an excellent point, schools should teach students how to properly create a PPT presentation, and how to use PPT to its full extent. My 6th-grade language teacher was a bit ruthless, the tough-love type; she destroyed the PPT I made, which was a whole unsalvagable mess, to be honest, but she did it in front of everyone the humiliation I felt in front of a class who already disliked and bullied me made things worse.
Yeah, older anime and manga truly joked around and diminished some heavy topics; I loved the remake of Urusei Yatsura, but by some comments I read I found the manga has some very questionable moments. What anime, manga, or stories do you think maturely handled heavy things?
I dislike Isekai a lot, especially the harem ones, and while I tend to like Shounen and romance series, I recently watched a romance anime that was a bit too much; I watched A Condition Called Love, and the male lead needed a lot of help.
Houseki no Kuni, that manga broke me; Phos deserved better, way better. I got curious and looked up manga written by a woman, I just learned Katekyo Hitman Reborn was written by a woman; that manga was so wonderful, I hope the final two arcs receive an adaption someday.
Yeah, forbidden romance in anime tends to revolve around cisgender main characters who are part of rival families or schools, incest, or stepsiblings falling in love.
I think something interesting that could fall into the forbidden romance category could be a couple where one of them comes out as transgender, and decides to stay together despite family and society's judgment and mistreatment.
I hope A Sign of Affection arrives on Netflix, I would love to see it since it truly has a great premise.
The Amnesia trope can be a bit tiring when more details keep appearing and appearing after too much time goes by; following them can really be a headache. Conflicts over misunderstandings are way too overused, the amount of people who complain about it on the internet should give authors a hint. I feel the power of friendship is the most polarizing trope so far and can be unfair; Fairy Tail receives a lot of critiques for that, but people ignore how much the characters train and fight to get stronger, plus the guild for most members is the closest they have to a family, so of course they have them above all. Dragon Ball is the best example of the reviving trope but nobody seems to care; Undead Unluck did something interesting with that trope that turned out to be wonderful.

Yeah, that feeling doesn´t quite disappear. There were good times in school, there were, but the bad moments, especially the prolonged ones, tarnished whatever enjoyment that happened back then. The nasty teacher and abusive classmates left a bitter taste that nothing will rinse away. Don´t feel bad about avoiding them, keep your mental health above everything; it takes just one joke with the purpose of gaslighting you to return you to that era. I must say I've been lucky to avoid the ones who bullied me; two of them apologize to me; I don´t think we will ever be friends, but I appreciate and accept their apologies and truthfully wish them the best.
Hahaha, don´t worry about it; even if I don´t share it, I respect your opinion.
As long as it makes you happy, and as long as it gives you a reason to keep improving, then don´t let anyone make you think otherwise; like I said, for me that doesn´t work, but if it works and gives you reasons for improving, then your mindset is completely right.
I hope that conversation goes well; for some reason, it is always hard to talk with someone about a topic you want to address.
I am a bit self-conscious, so when a teacher praised me I honestly felt a bit shy, but internally I always felt a sense of joy. Back in high school my teachers only had eyes for like three classmates and that's all, and only one of them wasn´t a double-faced hypocrite. College was honestly a way greater experience since teachers used to be more impartial.
Why are you embarrassed? Has someone felt threatened by your closeness with the teachers? Gossiping is one thing, but if that leads to harassment then you try to report it; it is always good to have connections with teachers, they can always help you even after you graduate.
I lowkey get the idea of why people think Scott and Ramona are a bit toxic, but since I haven´t read the comics I am not sure of anything. Yet, while watching the anime I noticed exactly the same things you mentioned about Ramona and her fear of commitment; I honestly felt bad about Roxie since I think they were already living together when Ramona cut the relationship. Scott dating Knives shouldn't be a thing, that was messed up; Scott was a case of a university student dating a high schooler, which I think makes him a predator.

Unfortunately, earning my license is still long ahead. I still get nervous behind the wheel.

Please don´t tell me it is written in pen and paper that the baby conceived during rape SHOULD be raised by victim and abuser alongside?! That's preposterous and beyond appalling! Are people protesting about it? There would be riots here if that happened.
Thank god it was rejected; I read the former paragraph you sent first and was so disgusted I wrote my former paragraph hahaha, I didn´t want to delete it because I like how it sounds. I am not so sure about this, but I think there are online pages with the information available. At the end of the day, sex offenders may not be legally forced their crimes, but it is easy for everyone, especially their bosses, to get the information.
I will be completely honest with you, I am beyond fed up with politics and politicians; I am so tired of Republicans, small-minded people, and the people who believe in them even when the proofs discrediting them are right there. Elections are right around the corner, and so far I am voting for the least asshole candidate.
I read this once and completely agree with it: Speech of freedom ends when you discriminate against others. Defending someone like Bolsonaro, or Kast in my country, is just awful.
Interesting you are mentioning this because in my country there is a new program set to start about a journalist exposing politicians, mostly mayors, who have stolen millions their cases are still pending to be investigated, while they are currently campaigning again for newer positions. I cannot understand why there are so many people pressed over transgender people; I got curious some days ago about J.K. Rowling, and she is a disgusting human. It's amusing how she thinks she is entitled to receive and reject an apology from the Harry Potter cast. I am sad for the trans community members who were fans of her, as well as for the Harry Potter fans who most likely never receive a sequel.
That's just revolting; just when I think people cannot be more awful, humanity shows it is possible to be even worse.
Yeah, conservatism, and unfortunately Republicans, are increasing their numbers. I hope for that poor girl to receive some sort of justice and for that shithead to receive a rightful punishment. I don´t know who Erica Hilton is and I will try to read about her, but if she represents a better future, then I wish the best for her.
I don´t know much about the political views of young people these days, but they are mostly shaped by what their parents say to them, or by what their friends talk about in school.

I am not so sure where the documentary is, but by the amount of Nickelodeon actors and actresses who commented on it, I am a bit curious. What I got is that Dan Schneider is that he abused his powers and created a toxic environment, while the higher-ups were the people who sexually harassed young cast members. Something that got me thinking is that Dan Schneider claimed all the jokes he wrote were approved by the parents, which makes things way worse in my opinion since several jokes were way too inappropriate.
Indeed, trying to cancel movies and shows that aired way before we were even born is useless; the best thing is to grow from that style of humor. Trying to delete from existence, and to shame the ones who remember and watch some examples of things that didn´t age well, are delusional.
I mean, older manga series were filled with red flags, and while there are way bigger exponents of toxic anime than just Junjou Romantica; still, I feel that for it to call people's attention, and to attract people into BL, one of the first anime adaptations needed to be something, let´s say, edgy and questionable. Now, thanks to it, the representation is way bigger and varied.
You know, now that you mention Bugs Bunny, I wonder how people didn´t notice those hidden jokes inside cartoon shows and movies; I mean, the other day I watched a Rocky movie on TV, and there was a scene with such a gay atmosphere that I thought Rocky and his rival/friend were about to make up. There are more examples, and to air in such conservative times makes me think a bit.
I just checked and learned today that Coraline was based on a book, that is quite interesting. Was the movie different from the book? I just cannot think of any other reimaginings, can you give some examples?

I have heard the fandom complaining about the change of ethnicity, but this is the first I hear that the author was responsible for it. I mean, everyone keeps saying that the cast in the book is already diverse in all the senses of the word. I haven´t read the books yet, but I guess once I get into it I will try to watch the cartoon to see what everything is all about.
Really? Where did you see that? I know most gods are LGBT, as well as Nico and Will who are a couple and I am already about to buy a copy of their book hahaha, but I haven´t read anything about Percy Jackson being bisexual himself.
Is that book part of the Percy Jackson universe as well? I am new to Rick Riordan books so I don´t know much about any other possible works.
Black Swan was one of the best psychological films ever; a scene that confused me was the hospital stab scene, did Nina do that? Also, do you think she survived in the end?
I am honestly shocked at that statement; I wonder if that is what Olympic athletes feel after winning the gold medal. I feel that would be an interesting title for a story: I achieved perfection, Now what? Jokes aside, the question is deep.
I watched the movie several years ago, but I do recall how complex her journey was; I recall getting a bit scared when Natalie Portman began turning into a swan. In a weird way, I can understand why she was so desperate; she gave her best, saw others getting complimented every time, and wanted to prove she was the best, which culminated in destroying her sanity.
I love the phrase "There is no such thing as perfect" as said in Courage the Cowardly Dog, but who hasn´t given their all to be the best at something and get praise?
The psychological part of Black Swan was superb and uncanny; as you say, the transitions from not knowing what is real and what is an illusion are great enough to turn anyone crazy theorizing what Nina was actually doing. The fact she stabbed herself thinking it was someone else is the second last proof that she was deranged by that point; I wonder if there are more cases like that in real life.
Diying in your prime is such an ominous message; but one that suits the question you previously stated so well, especially when the thing you love and dedicate your life to ends up corrupting your mind.
I didn´t know the name of Darren Aronofsky, or of many directors to be honest, but I will try to remember his name since he seems to be a great exponent of the genre.

Hahaha, that sounds like a great deal; let me know when you start reading Undead Unluck, and I will start treading Bloom Into You.

I think it's the perpetual trope of the hero always winning at the end of the day even when the odds are 100% against them and then by sheer luck they win anyway. Moreover, there are times when the villains are truly fighting against what is evil in society and want to make a change, for instance, Stain from My Hero Academia; I am already done with that story, but Stain had a point in that heroes just cared for money and didn´t have any decency. In a weird way, in Madoka Magica Kyuubey was trying to save the universe; he followed the Trolley Dilemma of saving one instead of five, or five instead of one. Another example is Knives from Trigun who saw how his species was being used to fuel humanity's daily life.
You touch on an interesting point; most villains portrayed in anime are people who suffered their whole lives and were abused or manipulated by society, while the hero grew up in a loving household or with people who cared for them and their only bad experiences were when the villain defeated them once. The Chosen One trope has to be the root of all evil in many stories.
It's true that villains most of the time live freely and do whatever they want without caring for what the world says; it makes me remember a lyric from the Hazbin Hotel song "Addict" that said -So what if I misbehave, is what everybody craves- which I think summarized what Harley Quinn does in DC movies: doing whatever she wants to do, saving herself, and choosing her own path.
I am not a fan of the Descendants movies, I didn´t like them but I had free time back then, in the third movie Hades summarizes how hypocritical heroes can be, he says something along the lines of "When a hero mess things up is nothing serious, but when a villains do anything you threw them on a dungeon and lost the key" to what anyone couldn´t argue back because it was a hero who caused the problems of that movie.
Hahaha, that is so true; at the end of the day nobody remembers who were the survivors of horror movies, but everyone knows by name who the monsters or psychopaths were even without watching their movies.
I think villains are created to fulfill the deepest and darkest wishes of the viewers. I think one of my favorite "villains" has to be Carmen Sandiego; she is so iconic, smart, and free.
I feel writers haven´t been able to fully write an LGBT villain without having their full personality being full of stereotypes, abusive of their power, or utterly unlikeable.

I will always love that episode when Gwen opens up to Geoff, and when the latter is eliminated, Gwen gives him his camera back and they take a picture together. On the contrary, I will forever loathe the episode of Total Drama Action where Geoff viciously antagonized her.
I completely agree with that, Gwen was done dirty post-season 1; if I was already pissed off that she lost against Owen, watching what the writers did to her on seasons 2 and 3 disappointed me.
In Gwen's defense, Trent was so clingy in season 2, and just because he was the handsome guy everyone bought his story; aside from what you mentioned, she always had someone antagonizing every time, first Heather, then Duncan manipulating her in her already unstable relationship with Trent, and then Courtney and Sierra, with the latter doing everything the former said to her.
Is she friendless? That sounds so sad; I am sure there was one writer who despised her, or who had some trauma with a gothic girl, and used Gwen as a scapegoat for their frustrations.
I have watched some clips on YouTube about All Stars; so far, I despise Yul, I love Tom, Tess, Grett, and Aiden, and I have some sort of fondness for Alec. I love to see Yul getting voted out, but damn it his words for Riya were low in a funny way.
I really want to see the Cherry Magic anime movie; Adachi and Kurokawa are forever one of my favorite BL couples. I hope you enjoy the anime.
It is interesting to see how things and queer coding were there from the beginning with most viewers not seeing it because they were unaware of the terms; and then, while being homophobic, they enjoyed a full franchise with characters who had better relationships with a specific same-sex friends instead of their wives. I wonder if it is more impressive those aspects were hidden in books from centuries ago, or in movies from the past century.

You are welcome, I was very moved by your review and how important Ratatouille is for you.

You know, something I absolutely love about Pam's last words is how they were so simple; she didn´t use flamboyant or unknown vocabulary, her words are simple and with that, she delivered one of the deepest quotes ever.

I hope that as well; there is something I have in mind, and I will need to work hard to see that happening.

That is a beautiful mindset to follow; I also share most of what you say, my parents and close people, are the reason why I also keep moving forward, and also for those small moments and actions that give me happiness and joy.
I don´t try to diminish what you say, but I swear I heard that from someone hahaha; still, the message is true, I think I spent so much time comparing myself with others that I didn´t see how much they struggled until where they are now, so I guess waiting and consistency are the key to find what is the best version of myself.
I think school is one of the reasons why we always fight to achieve perfection; we find one thing we are good at, we find someone who is far better than us, and then we think we are a failure in life. I guess disappointing yourself in high school has some long-lasting effects.
I always said it and I will always say it, tests can be the worst thing for someone's mental health, especially if it is a test you gave everything you have to score a good mark. Hahaha, I see what you were trying to do, and I did the same sometimes. I am glad you succeeded on the recovery test.
Thanks a lot, and also for being so encouraging; I am glad to have a friend like you.

Inside Out 2 seems to be such a great movie. I wanted to watch the Haikyuu movie, but I guess my country wasn´t that popular since after the month I spent healing from Influenza the movie wasn´t being aired.
Saltburn, I heard that is quite a movie; what do you think about it? You have watched many classic movies, I even forgot some of them and I am now wanting to watch them as well.
I couldn't watch your list of series; I think I need to have an account for the page.
I know a bit about Semantic Error, but as I said above I would like to know more details. On the contrary, I have never heard of A Thale of Thousand Stars. I read some chapters of the current arc of Black Butler, it seems like a very dark manga.
I think I will watch Dungeon No Meshi on Netflix in the future. Skip to Loafer is great, I absolutely adore the opening song and the little dance between the main characters. I hope it receives a second season because I know what happens ahead and it will be great.
That book, The Charm Offensive, sounds quite interesting; I will add it to my PTW. I am kind of interested in reading what I heard is a very dark LGBT book called El Balcón Vecino.
I never heard of All Of Us Are Strangers; tell me what you think about it.
I hate so much when shows leave the catalog; so many movies and shows I enjoy watching are no longer available on Netflix, even movies I never thought would disappear. Honestly, sometimes I feel paying Netflix feels like a waste.
I am watching Isekai Suicide Squad; I honestly consider it a bad anime, but there is something so enchanting about hahaha. Senpai wa Otokonoko is so far nothing short of wonderful, I love the opening song and the main characters as well; I want to see where the story goes forward. I feel Tasogare Outfocus episode 1 was a bit weak, but episode 2 improved quite drastically; like, from 5 to 8. The art isn´t very appealing, but the soundtrack is great.
I never heard of Longlegs before, but after seeing that Nicholas Cage is the main villain I got kind of curious; I honestly feel he has the charisma to be an incredible villain.

Yeah, I am sad for the fandom of Yuri on Ice; MAPPA made a horrible decision. I have read several times how YoI was the anime that saved the studio in the first place, that basically opened the doors for the world to know them, and canceling the movie feels like a low blow. I am now scared for the sake of the Zombieland Saga movie.
It's nice to see representation from Latin America in anime; I Googled her and her name sounds Brazilian, while her appearance is very different from the usual designs of Brazilian characters in other anime.
Don´t worry, I will watch the videos as soon as possible C:
Lo mismo digo, espero estés teniendo un muy buen mes y que te vaya excelente en la universidad.
Nos vemos, cuidate mucho y hasta la proxima vez que volvamos a hablar :)

Really? Do classes start in February in Brazil? What is the weather like in Brazil? I am curious since here classes start for everyone between the 5-6 of March; we are still in summer during March, but the heat isn't as strong as it is during January and February.
I am glad to hear you are in a better place, I know how existing things can be while having a bad state of mind; I hope someday to have the strength to follow a sleeping schedule, my night sleep hours are pretty random.
I know this doesn´t have anything to do with what you are saying, but I am currently playing Pokemon Go and sending FR to players of different countries to complete a badge hahaha. Back to the topic, not having the other person in front of you when you are talking makes communicating through the screen way harder indeed; I am also a bit self-conscious when replying not knowing if the other person will get jokes or irony, or if they will get offended.
I agree, and it is also interesting when opinions vary and are not what you expected; like when you like an anime, game, or show and the other person wasn´t particularly a fan of them. Even more, what is great better, is when the other person doesn´t take it like you are insulting them and basically demands you to share their opinion.
I still remember the Depressed Barbie scene and how the whole cinema erupted in laughter; even funnier were the people who were watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries. I don´t think the movie was Oscar material, but it was a great and enjoyable movie that touched on some important topics. Also, my friend explained to me that Ruth Handler based Barbie and Ken on her children, and the two of them weren´t particularly happy when people started treating the dolls as a couple.
When I have to study or produce material I tend to put a fun movie in the background to avoid getting stressed; Scary Movie 1 and 2 helped me a lot last year, I hate they are leaving Netflix. I found a movie I watched as a kid called Not Another Teen Movie that is a parody of old teen romantic comedy movies, and it's so good.
Really? Did you grow up in an artistic environment? Do you have a favorite art movement?
I've been loving reading so much lately; I am trying to enjoy it as much as possible because I will soon get my free time shortened. During the weekend I finished reading The Guest List, which a lot of people said was very similar to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None; long story short, it wasn´t. TGL got good during the final pages, and ATTWN was intriguing from the beginning. I am currently reading In The Miso Soup of Murakami Ryu, but I want to return to The Shadowhunter Chronicles hahaha.
I hope you don´t take it wrong, but I consider Art to be extremely subjective and depends a lot on the eyes of the beholder to find the beauty in it; I don´t like to give my opinion that much since I don´t know much about the topic, but I just hate how some people do an exhibition with invisible art, like Salvatore Garau.
I understand, and share your point of view to a certain degree; although I feel it is a bit hard in the case of movies for people to contemplate what the director was trying to achieve, especially when interpretation leads viewers to find things that the director never even considered on the first place. Why do you think books' job is to make the readers uncomfortable? I feel the spectrum of emotions there is way broader. Finally, you perfectly described the impact games and shows should have.
I feel the problem is studios overusing the same formula and genre; I mean, superhero movies were always there but weren´t as common as nowadays. I liked that the movie based on some X-Men characters was produced as a horror movie, New Mutants.
Absolutely true! I get that in comics is common to get prolonged stories, but in movies, it is hard to channel that same energy; especially considering that comic book series work with several characters, not with the usual ones. I still remember how Spiderman and Wolverine were everywhere back in the day. Marvel is just about industrialization, especially now that Disney has its rights.
I haven´t watched many Marvel movies, but as far as I know, all the superheroes have a pretty balanced screentime; still, I share your view that there is something unappealing about all the post-credit scenes, like, they aren´t sincere and are just meant as a device to confuse people to consume more of their movies.
Hahaha, that is so sweet; I think that was very common for several kids though. I remember a fictional country that appeared on a Disney Channel show, and a neighbor thought that country was real even though the actress on the show said the country was fake several times in interviews. I mean, it would have been cool to meet a group like Scooby-Doo and his gang, and the Live Action series made that possible.
That sounds fantastic, what did your mom think of the movie? I honestly heard varied comments from the movie, but I am happy another anime movie won Best Animated Movie in the Academy Awards.
That kind of interruption is unfortunately very common; I still remember this little girl running everywhere when I went to watch Barbie with my friend. I am glad to hear that the ushers went to try to control the interruptions. In the end, I am glad to hear the experience with your mom wasn´t ruined.
My mom and I don´t share the same taste in movies, but still, we watch some movies and laugh; such as the Scooby Doo live-action she enjoyed because Matthew Lillard was so similar to Shaggy, The Heat, Bridesmaids, and some others; we also share a like for the show Heartland. Still, I prefer comedy and horror, and she prefers cowboy and police movies. My dad and I share a love for comedy movies, some of them from Adam Sandler.
Don´t ever worry about sharing your likes; I enjoyed reading all your ideas, experiences, and opinions. This life is already hard for us not to share what makes us happy.

Now that I know what Camp means, I agree with it; it does feel exaggerated but in a good way, like in a very upbeat and alluring way. I mostly loved that old atmosphere, as well as the final part of the song. I am not that much into live-action comic book heroes movies, so I haven't watched Batman and Robin 1997, but after looker at the poster with Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy I kind of get your point.
Indeed, the rhythm feel so inviting that even I, who don't tend to dance that much, end up dancing; this is just a guess, but I am almost sure everyone had a blast recording the song.
Hahaha, nuestra musicas puede mover hasta las piedras; honestamente, me pregunto que tipo de musica bailan en los países de habla inglesa. Me gusta la música en inglés, es del tipo que mas escuho, pero realmente no he escuchado una que me haga quere bailar cómo la musica en español.

Written test only works to pressure students, and that's all; it is funny to think how the periodic table was designed so students wouldn´t need to memorize everything, and teachers still made them memorize it hahaha.
I honestly feel that in college the pressure of tasks and assignments feel significantly less excruciating than in school; maybe because in college you can work alone from time to time, and with more mature people, sometimes hahaha.
To this day I feel bad when I remember my biology teacher; I didn´t like him that much in high school, though I didn´t like the way some of my classmates and other classes treated him, but it wasn´t until my final year that I realized how wonderful he was. He really loved his job and was a natural-born teacher.
I remember a bit about the classes where the teacher taught about art movements and styles, and that we also had to replicate works of art from time to time; I remember doing one about Icarus in 8th grade, and then another one that was circles of different colors on my 4th year of HS. Believe me, the circles were way harder than Icarus.
It would have been interesting to learn a bit more about popular artists who started movements, analyzed works of art, or have the equipment; until 2010 we had two hours of arts and two of music a week, and from 2011 onwards we needed to choose between one of the two and is like that until this day. It would have been great to have personalized lessons, but in high school classes A and B shared the room of Class B for music and the room of Class A for arts; I was part of the art lessons, and Class A classroom was always smelly, like humidity and something rotting.
Hahaha, I never read the school books because not even the teachers used them most of the time; I think maybe for math and biology, but the teachers for English and Language never used them.
Really? If it is in Spanish I can give them a try and read them, but if we are talking about books, theater, or novels in English written during past centuries then, you know, no.
Same here, in language, my best marks were always on book evaluations; I still remember when I got the highest mark on a test based on a novel with a title that didn´t have anything to do with the novel content.
The only book I didn´t particularly enjoy reading was Don Quijote; the content, the characters, and the character development were superb, but the archaic Spanish was such a nightmare.
I am curious to ask, is there a manga/novel/book trope that doesn´t go well with you? or, that you think is overused? I was talking with someone who hated Timeskip tropes in manga, something I particularly like due to seeing newer designs for the main characters; while overused, I feel the manga Undead Unluck took the trope and did some kind of deconstruction. Personally, I dislike the "Let's revive everyone who died like nothing ever happened" trope.
I didn´t have many issues with memorizing the formulas for Math and Chemistry, though I prefer my Chemistry tests without math problems. Phisycs was a completely different story; let me just say that I was shocked by achieving a passing mark on the tests.
I'll be completely honest, I've been having school nightmares during the past months; like, I dream I am inside the classroom doing a test, the bell rings, I haven´t completed nearly half of the test, and I have to give it back. I swear I don´t know what the hell.
At this point in life, my brain deleted all the knowledge I had of Physics; if my life depended on it then it was game over.
Don´t feel bad, I completely understand and share what you are saying; school for some people may have been wonderful, but for most people is when they learn about harassment, bullying, and being self-conscious, basically how horrible this world can be. I also remember at times some of the worst moments I experienced. The damage is real, and it will take a lot of time to leave that luggage behind. I also tend to feel uncomfortable if someone asks me about those days.
I understand what you are trying to say there, I swear I do; and while I respect your mentality and wishes of wanting to take the good out of the bad, I still don't share it, no offense at all. Maybe, and just a bit, it showed me what I don´t want to be and what I don´t ever tolerate again.

For real? I am so happy for you; what is your psychologist like? Tell me more if you want it.
Go with it, leave all the cards on the table at your own pace, get comfortable with her, explain your reasoning, and try to find out if you are neurodivergent or not; I don´t want to say to trust her immediately since, despite my great experience with my therapist, not everyone is lucky to find a suitable one. I hope everything goes well with her.

I am not going to lie, those are some major words coming from a teacher; teachers don´t tend to give their real opinion about their students so freely, so I can assume your biology teacher really cared for you.
I am not going to lie, I am a bit jealous hahaha; when I reported my bullies back in 7th-8th grade, I cannot remember the year exactly, I was mostly alone.
I cannot complain that much, especially because I did have some teachers supporting me and helping me from time to time; I would say there were a few who made my days in my newer school pleasant. My middle school language teacher was a wonderful person as well, in contrast with the abusive and despot w(b)itch I had in high school.
Indeed, there are some excellent teachers that seem impossible to hate, and is weird to find someone who hates them.
I guess it is easier to connect with a teacher from a class you like because you can share your knowledge and enjoyment of the topics with them.
Hahaha, I guess she will be proud.

I said it above, and in the past, and I will keep saying it; depressed Barbie was a whole mood hahaha.
I must say I was very shocked when I learned that almost all the live-action movie actors and actresses reprise their roles for the anime; I mean Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, and Aubrie Plaza are pretty big names in the industry. I haven´t watched the Portuguese version, but I have read several comments about how the dubbed versions feel more real for everyone; I swear I loved Julie so much, and in Latin Spanish, she was hilarious and had a bigger repertoire of swear words hahaha.
I was a bit on the fence with Wallace at first, but after analyzing things a bit I realized how cool he actually was. I loved how he stole Ivy's boyfriend after she stole the spotlight on Scott's funeral.
I know this doesn´t have anything to do with it, but I loved the fight between Ramona and Roxie; when the first hit the second with that hammer through the roof I was pretty surprised.
I haven´t read the comic books or watched the Live Action movie, and I don´t want to sound like criticizing, but I feel Ramona was a bit toxic; she finished most of her relationships when they got too personal, used some of her exes, and left when things got too real. Correct me if I am wrong.
I decided to watch some anime that are currently on Netflix, so when I was on my computer doing something I put the shows on my TV; I loved Hunter x Hunter 2011, Cowboy Bebop, and My Happy Marriage so much! I was a bit against watching dubbed anime due to the whole stigma of it, but I don´t care anymore; I am planning to watch Jojo's series and GTO in the future.

I am so upset Community is leaving this month :C! I loved that sitcom so much, and I am getting the feeling that it will arrive on Disney+.
Not so well, I am a bit stagnated on that part; I want to get it, but I get way too nervous behind the steering wheel.
Same here, although the weather's way too irrational these days; mornings and nights are cold as hell, and during the day we have high temperatures. We are currently in Autumn/Fall, and it hasn´t been raining that much either.
That's disgusting, I can barely tolerate 20 at the very least; more than that, and my day is ruined. I swear I will never be able to live in a country with temperatures surpassing 30 degrees.
Interesting you are mentioning it because in my country there is also an SA accusation involving a very popular actor and the daughter of his former wife. She is accusing him of raping her while he was her stepfather; what is a bit malicious in my opinion is that people are accusing the girl's mom, who is also an actress, of doing this as a way to get screen time since she hasn´t been cast in any productions lately.
I am glad Padre Julio was found innocent; I hate when people attack individuals who try to do something to help the ones in need, like with Surthycooks, one of the few influencers I respect.
Forgive my French, but are you fucking with me right? That is beyond crazy! An out loud and proud Nazi was elected? How did that happen?
Ministers don´t tend to stay in charge larger than a year in my country, and even a year is a lot; I hope it happens in Brazil as well and he gets kicked out.
I just read a bit of Nikolas Ferreira, and I must say he is a disgusting human being; sometimes I am shocked when seeing people so young being so short-minded, I can bet he grew up in a wealthy family, I am almost sure of that.
Was his sister in college or high school? Recording someone without their knowledge is illegal, bullying them on social media is also a crime, but depending on the age of the victim things can be way worse. So far, he is a disgusting human being.
I reiterate what I said, it is so depressing seeing someone so young being so vile; I hope he can change his mindset someday.

Indeed, there is no way things just end; I believe in the afterlife, heaven and hell, and reincarnation, but I cannot believe the human conscience just disappears.

For real? That's so cool; I am eager to see those adaptations. I liked the first movie, though I haven´t watched the other ones. I haven´t read the books either, but I am aware of Susan's fate, and since the author lets the viewers think about her outcome, I hope someone gets the courage to make that happen.
I just finished watching The Maker; I didn´t like the music, it was a bit too upbeat, but I guess that it has its meaning. Also, those teeth were a bit scary. With that being said, it was sad, like saying life only has a defined meaning, then you leave like you weren´t even there, and someone replaces you following the same pattern; it feels like a criticism of the work environment, how some people dies of overwork and are replaced like they weren´t even there.
Absolutely, realizing the issues of things we used to enjoy is part of maturing; have you heard about Quiet on Set? I knew Nickelodeon was a toxic corporation, but I never knew how awful they truly were.
I see your point of view, but I can't confirm it since I haven´t watched Citrus yet; nevertheless, I do see what you are saying about Mei, she does look like a zombie.
Good to know, I will give Bloom Into You; I don´t want to have expectations, but I will believe in the word of everyone who has said to me how wonderful it is.
Yeah, that is a nice way to put it; we grew with what we have at our hands, and they helped us see there is more than we can see (in terms of sexual orientation), and there is nothing wrong with that. Junjou Romantica was a massive red flag, but I still remember the moments when the characters suffered and how real it felt; the only couple I cannot remember anything about is the Terrorist one.
In a way, Junjou Romantica walked so Sasaki to Miyano could run. The first is indeed a toxic anime and I know how many red flags it has, reason why I don´t want to rewatch it, but it fulfilled its role at the time, and thanks to it we have so much more Gay representation.
It has been said for several years, and I think Hannah Barbera confirmed it, that Velma is a lesbian, so there is nothing wrong with portraying her like that.
With the previous being said, just like you say, Velma wasn´t such an asshole anywhere before; in the Live Action film, she received one very understandable insecurity when she felt constantly unappreciated by her friends, a reason for which she left the team. In the newer cartoon, she is just manipulative and I think even lacks remorse for her actions.
I am not going to lie, sometimes I am not so sure about changes, but that doesn´t mean I go on a racist tirade against the latest Little Mermaid movie; especially when realizing how many young afro-american kids feel identified and happy for seeing someone black on an important production. Hence, I understand what you are saying, and I am happy that you can feel valid and accepted when seeing important characters in movies and shows who represent who you are.
Disney being Disney; I can see the producers having an idea just for Disney to shun it down, so I believe the plans were changed even if the director didn´t portray the characters as a couple hahaha.
Sorry, I didn´t get the idea of what you were saying; can you explain it again, please?
I think I understand your points thanks to this paragraph: I see your point
and I agree; teens these days are growing with a more explicit representation in the sense that characters address themselves as being gay, lesbian, transexual, and more, something that was only alluded in the past. People may not like it, but as long as it is suitable for the target viewers, and doesn´t show anything inappropriate, then there is no reason for censorship.
Exactly! Changes and representation may not be accepted by older generations who may be more prejudiced, but if kids can see a character who looks like them and can feel validated that there is nothing wrong with them, then that is the only thing that matters.
I don´t want to start an argument, especially because I haven´t read the Percy Jackson books yet, but I was told that there was a lot of representation in the characters already and that the Annabeth change was unnecessary. I don´t know much about the topic, so I will hear what everyone has to say.
That's so sweet, I love those videos when people come out to their loved ones and they are immediately accepted. It shows that there is still hope for the world.

Tell me about it! I am so eager to complete my collection of The Shadowhunters Chronicles to start collecting the Percy Jackson books hahaha. I have so much I want to read and watch this year, and I will try to do it one way or the other.
There are several great titles on your movie list; some that I watch, some that I know a lot about, and some that look very interesting. There are so many classics there, not to sound too dorky hahaha. Alien, The Hunger Games, and Black Swan are great; I also want to watch Requiem for a Dream, though I already know is one heartbreaking film
Your show list wasn´t available.
Is Semantic Error a novel? I thought it was a Manhwa. I lowkey want to read it, but I need to finish so many Manga and Manhwa already hahaha.
I kind of get what you are saying; like, this is real life, people will hurt you, but things can get better and there will be people there.
I am happy for you, I hope you enjoy it! and that there will not be annoying and loud teens interrupting.
I know that is why I loved it so much; that episode was like a rollercoaster, so many things happened, and in the conclusion you have such as stronger speech appearing and hitting you in the feelings.
I have seen that quote, and I think I know when it happened; I didn´t get it too much to be honest hahaha, but I think I grasp an idea of what is saying. Like, even through our most chaotic moments we can still return to be who we once were, and we can always go back to where we belong; am I right or wrong hahaha? I would like to hear your thoughts.
Te deseo todo lo mejor en terapía; he estado en tu lugar, y solo espero que puedas sanar de las cosas que tal vez duelan demasiado como para compartir abiertamente.
Hahaha, buena referencía; aún no puedo creer que Houseki no Kuni vaya a terminar en el proximo capitulo. De ese capitulo depende si actualizo mi lista de mangas favoritos.
Definitely, we all need a moment to relax in this crazy world without having to give anyone else an explanation.
Villains, when written properly, do tend to have more layers and heroic characters, and seeing their mindset unveil throughout the story is indeed interesting. I would love to see a villainous character who is just vile not because of their past; like, giving his ideas for wanting to dominate the world not because he had a depressing background.
You touched on a very good point there; it is weird when the main characters are so normal, like Gon from Hunter x Hunter, and he has a bright and innocent nature that made him gamble with the devil just for a moment of strength to win. Like, he didn´t have so many reasons to reach those extreme levels, and still did it for people he met once or twice. I am sorry if I didn´t explain it too well hahaha.
Getting hurt from time to time is part of being human, and the decisions we make after it, whether good or bad, are what can make a man or woman a villain in someone's story. Hence, I share that sometimes is nice to have multilayered villains who have reasons and a story to tell about how nasty the world can be.

I honestly feel the anime was pretty loyal to the manga, the voice actors and actresses were spot-on, and the first opening and ending songs were superb. I learned while the anime was airing that Disney had the rights for Undead Unluck, they didn't advertise it at all, and the chances for a second season are small. I seriously recommend you to read the manga because the arcs that come after the anime are wild and incredible.
I mean, look at Bowser; he has been a villain in almost every Mario game and is loved by almost everyone without him having a sad story. The Michael Myers from the original movies is the same; apparently, he was a rich kid with mental issues that weren´t properly treated.
I cannot put into words how much I wanted to have this conversation with someone! To this day I hate Owen as the original winner for season 1, especially because Gwen was such a layered character that grew so much, especially during the episode where she teamed up with Geoff and they shared that moment; and that is why I hate the way the writers treated her from season 2 onwards. She dated the popular kid and then everyone started hating on her, especially the people who used to be her friends. Gwen deserved much better.
Same here, Heather deserved the win on season 3; just like Gwen, I consider her the winner of her season. I cannot believe that canonically almost every winner is a man. Total Drama World Tour had so many great songs; I love I'm Gonna Make It a lot.
Don´t worry, I will watch it; for some reason, Instagram started showing me videos about Disventure camp and its characters, so I know a bit about their relationship hahaha.
I loved Cherry Magic so much, though that is something I say about almost every BL anime I watch; Adachi and Kurosawa are some of my favorite couples ever, and I am eager for the movie because I checked, and the anime omitted quite some episodes.
Same here, aside from seasonals, I am more into marathoning a show instead of having to wait for episodes, a reason why I prefer Netflix over other streaming services.

I was reading the first article the other day; that final picture of the movie Otto was a bit wild, the corpse organs looked very real. Unfortunately, one of the article's links was unavailable and sent me to the error screen of the page.
It's interesting to learn how many Queer movies and books were made as a way meant to represent the LGBT community either as monsters wanting to be accepted, unrequired love, discrimination for being different, or just a person trying to survive.
I remember Frankstein and its meaning, but I think I forgot about Dracula, can you explain it to me again, please?
I think it is a criticism of human nature and its unwillingness and apprehension to accept what is different. Those books were way ahead of their time.
It is weirdly funny to see Chucky being an accepting father of a queer son, and who is also unwilling to kill babies. Chuky has always been a very different type of horror movie villain.
I see, don't worry. Interestingly, mothers and daughters voting for each other's eliminations in reality shows it is not that uncommon. I just recall the case of Francisca Maira, and how her family was campaigning for her elimination; I think they were offering free drinks to get her out of the house, though I don´t remember all the details.
Sorry, but which show did you think was bigger? Was it one of the songs of Hazbin Hotel or the franchise of AHS?

Termine de leer tu reseña de Ratatouille, and while I am not the biggest fan of the movie, I felt touched; mi parte favorita fue la de cómo probamos algo inolvidable que te hace querer apreciar el momento y cómo nos puede llevar a una epoca en donde tal vez no todo era mejor, pero fue una epoca que nos hizo feliz. Eso me llego debido a cómo suelo recordar la ciudad en donde solia vivir; tuve algunas amistades infantiles algo manipuladoras, pero recuerdo los buenos momentos que viví junto a mi familia y familiares que ya no están, recuerdo la casa en la que solía vivir, y realmente volvería a ese epoca en donde fui inocentement feliz sin dudarlo, aúnque fuera una vez.
"La basura más simple es mas significativa que nuestra reseña." That was deep, y me hace pensar en cómo hay profesionales con titulo mirán en menos a personas sin saber que el mundo entero pelearia por ellos y por quienes son. Para el crítico de Ratattouile un plato de comida que le recordo la alegría de su infancia junto a su madre en un hogar humilde valio mucho mas que la comida de cualquier restaurante famoso.
In retrospect, that was something very humbling and beautiful.

After reading your analysis and review I want to say something, and don´t take it as an offense or as a way to feel pitty for me, but I seriously admire how much passion you have for the arts, how much you respect and analyze the views from a director when watching his work, and you lived following the final sentence of Pam from The Office "There is a lot of beauty in ordinary things, isn´t that kind of the point?"; which has been one of the few things I analyzed and realized how simple her choice of words was, and how powerful it ended up being.
I am in my 20s, and I really want to find something that makes me feel passionate about; I think I am part one of a lowkey screwed-up generation who grew up thinking that intelligence and talent were something you were inherently born with, and if you didn´t succeed at the beginning then you were a failure, which made me feel disappointed since I left behind so many things I wanted to enjoy.
That is why I am trying to revive an old passion I had when I started high school, I will try to start and finish a project, and then I will see where I am going from then onwards.
So, in a way, thank you C:

Hahaha, creo que hay lugares donde la gente apuesta por los ganadores; 19 de 23 fue una cifra muy alta, un poco más y te diría que juegues a la lotería hahaha. Realmente estoy muy feliz de que El Niño y La Garza ganara un Oscar, todos los años cruzo los dedos para que las peliculas de animación Japonesa se lleven la estatuilla a casa.
Escuchaste o leiste acerca de la mujer Colombiana que mintio acerca de haber trabajado en El Niño y La Garza? Aparentemente las cosas se le fueron de las manos y lentamente la gente descubrió que mintió.

No te preocupes por responder tardiamente, en Marzo me tomé un tiempo fuera de MAL por que realmente mi salud mental estaba en su limite; mi gata, mi niña, mi regalona, murío a principio de mes y realmente me sigo sintiendo mal por eso. Ella era muy cariñosa con nosotros y siempre le gusto que la acariciaran y jugaran con ella, y realmente no hay día en que no la recuerde; su ausencia en serio se nota más que cualquier otra cosa.

Gracias, espero que esté año todo salga muy bien con tus estudios; te deseo lo mejor, ten una buena semana :)

Hahaha, I think that's the best.
I think so too; it is nice to read so amazing and interesting many introspective opinions coming from someone who I don´t have in front of.
I am glad to hear you are currently on vacation; college can exhausting, and there is nothing better than having some days to relax. Is nice to hear you are doing well mentally and physically; enjoy your vacations as much as you can.
It is always nice to have something to go into during exam and assignment weeks. Pop culture can be so relaxing and joyful; the other day I found a song that I feel needs to be known worldwide and become part of pop culture. It is from a Spanish group called Ladilla Rusa, and the song's name is Kitt y los coches del pasado; it has an old atmosphere, which is always appealing in a way, and it is also used in the gay community.
Ugh, you after reading how much you had to memorize I got exhausted; I must say, I prefer oral tests over written ones, but it is truly more complex when you start forgetting things once you get nervous over the smallest things. I hope you had a good mark after all that effort.
Nothing to be embarrassed by; it is always a good option to have a nice relationship with your teachers, it avoids confrontations and it secures an ear that will listen to you if you weren't able to arrive on time for a test or why you reacted badly. Honestly, there were teachers in college who I loved, and despite having some very visible flaws, they were wonderful and understanding; still, there were two who were a nightmare, and to this day I am surprised when people defend them; I am not saying it to complain, I just remembered some very nasty situations back in the day.
I completely understand what you are saying; I also have close relatives who work as teachers, I know how much effort they put into it, as well as all their struggles and hardships. In my country, there is a historical debt that needs to be paid to a generation of teachers who are not even in this world anymore. Hahaha, Hyperfocus can be a great ally in times of study; mine helped me a lot in times of distress.
An art test? That is completely new to me; I don't think arts has even been tested in that way. 2010 was the last year in my school arts and music were two different classes; now you have to choose one of the two, and that's it. I understand what your teacher did there; I am not going to lie, I think I would have been mad hahaha. Still, it is amazing how much dedication you put into it.
I like literature and reading, though I dislike analyzing older novels with such an archaic vocabulary you need to go several times to look their definition up. I know this is going to sound bad, but I never liked history; there were certain topics I enjoyed a lot, but after having two teachers (One young with a very messy style, and an older one who was too old-fashioned) I just disconnected myself from the classes and did enough just to pass. On the contrary, I loved chemistry, and after a change of teacher, I improved my grades in maths a lot and came to enjoy it.
I feel you on that one; I used to hang up with some of the boys in my class, but overall I sucked at sports, especially football. I enjoyed playing volleyball though. I hate to hear you were the victim of body shaming; I know how horrible the repercussions are. I still remember a classmate who was body-shamed even when he got in shape after getting into CrossFit. I still remember how awful the main trio of bullies were in my school; two of them were actually nice, but when the third one appeared they all became insufferable and as mean-spirited as possible, and that was something that even their closest friend thought.
I am glad to hear your teacher sided with you and saw what was happening with you. I once took all the courage necessary to step up for myself, I also talked with a teacher, and my situation also improved a lot.
If you think you may be neurodivergent, then go and take a test with a professional; the chances are there, especially when thinking how people spend their whole time not knowing it, and then one day they spoke with a professional and realized they were ADHD or autistic their whole life. My future SIL was diagnosed some weeks ago that she was neurodivergent.
I love that you had so many teachers by your side supporting you during classes; I loved my chemistry teacher a lot, she was an excellent teacher, but I wish she corrected me on how to use the calculator a bit sooner hahaha.
Funny how you mention it; I study a bit of English, but I never expected to use it to talk so much with others hahaha.

Are you for real? That is amazing! I wish to be able to calculate in my head; that is an incredible ability.

I completely agree with you on that; I also prefer assignments, and presentations instead of Written tests. I swear I hate written tests with my life, if it would be possible I'd erase them; I can understand their relevancy, but they always got the best of me.
Again, it is wonderful to hear you have such a close, healthy, and nice relationship with your teachers; at the end of the day, it is always better to have them by your side than against you. Also, getting compliments from teachers is indeed nice.
You made me remember a certain teacher in high school who delivered the test marks from highest to the lowest, something I later learned is not morally or legally allowed to do; I always wanted to be the highest mark on one of the tests, and when the moment came I was speechless. I hate her and I consider her approach disgusting now as an adult, but it is amazing to remember how we all fought so hard for her approval. Still, I am happy their encouragement, support, and praise have contributed so much in a positive way to you.
From the movies I only watched Barbie; I still remember how my friend and I laughed and felt identified with Depressed Barbie hahaha. I didn't watch any of the series, but the first four anime you listed there; I was planning to watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off in Eng, but I ended up watching it in Spanish. I swear Julie is way funnier in Spanish since her swear repertoire is a bit expanded.
Take your time, it is a show that needs some attention because some dots get connected with time; in the episode where the pen goes missing, pay a lot of attention to the first minutes.
Thanks a lot :)
I wish you good luck with yours as well.
Honestly, what is the weather like? I can barely tolerate past 20 Celsius; I am in the middle of summer, and I am fighting for my life hahaha.

Let´s be honest, nowadays most comedy is centered on how corrupt and annoying conservatives are; is like, they want to act nasty, but don´t want to be called for that. So, after years of them getting accused of doing the worst things possible to children, there is a man helping people in need, doing his job in the name of god, and people are calling him corrupt? Is he though? I am glad to hear that radical conservative politicians aren't attacking so much these days; for now, something is something, and a win is a win.
I cannot believe they are attacking someone who is trying to help people in need, all in the name of god, just to get attacked because of that; what are the charges and accusations he is facing?

Hahaha, here people say the same; some years ago the Carabineros, who are the policemen of Chile, were always on the spot for constant accusations of human rights violations, money laundering, killing, hiding information, and a lot more; I swear it was shown that lasted the 12 months of the year.

Poor straight cisgender people; have faced so many years of harassment, bullying, hatred, and unspeakable acts just for being straight, and now they have to fight against trans people taking their space (Just in case, sarcasm). I am glad that Bigot didn't receive the attention he wanted.

I know that is one of the reasons I have faith there is something after life; I just cannot think is possible to just cease to exist, and that is all. It is just impossible.
I do believe there is an afterlife; we are all going there one way or the other. Talking about that kind of makes me want to read the books of The Chronicles of Narnia.
I feel the key is to try to be as nice as possible in life to avoid asking for forgiveness in death bed. To be a kind human being is not a hard thing to strive for.

Indeed, Junjou Romantica is filled with some big red flags; if someday a newer season is released I'll watch it, but watching it from the beginning will definitely kill the nostalgic memory I have of it. Interesting, this is the first time I heard complaints about the anime adaptation of Citrus, did it omit too many aspects from the manga?
I don´t remember which one was, but I am sure I have either the manga or the anime of Bloom into You in my PTW/PTR. I am not that much into GL, but I am willing to give it a chance.
Oh my god, I am hollowly laughing right now hahaha; I don't know if to say that I hate or I love the fact we all grew up supporting the LGBT community after watching the most toxic and horrible representations of it. I mean, there is no way I'll ever discriminate against anyone regarding their gender or sexual orientation, but how come I grew up watching horrible examples of it, with some of the highest counts of Red flags, and ended up as a supporter; I swear is out of my comprehension. I agree, nowadays there are healthier representations, and perhaps those examples did walk so current stories could run. Moreover, is nice to watch them; for instance, Given, Sasaki to Miyano, and currently Cherry Magic, are great examples for current generations.
Exactly, at the end of the day, they were precursors that set examples and visualize the LGBT community to some degree. I know there is a transgender character in Lovely Complex, but I haven't watched that anime, and it really caught my attention. God, I hate to admit how poorly older representatives have aged; sadly, it is nothing but the truth. They were necessary at the time, but now they aren't the best examples to use.

I am not going to lie, while I haven't watched the show I have seen several clips that basically allowed me to see the tone of the show, and one of my biggest shockers regarding Velma is how she is portrayed as a manipulative and weird character who is the love interest of everyone.
I don´t read the comics, so I believe what you say in that area; as far as I remember, I recall she had a love interest in the Zombie Island movie, one in the first live-action, one in the second live-action, Shaggy in a live-action set when they were in high school (which didn't end well), and I think Shaggy in one of the cartoons. I mean, in a way, she didn't have bad luck in the romantic department; she always has a crush on someone, or someone has a crush on her.
That's a fair point I share as well; continuity in Western comics is none nonexistent, so it is understandable if something that happened in a comic wasn't canon in a cartoon.
I am not going to lie, I feel the biggest issue the Scooby-Doo fandom has with the Velma show was the change in ethnicity; I heard viewers liked Shaggy after being unaware of his change, but Velma was beyond polarising. Plus, as I mentioned, apparently she was portrayed as intolerable. I understand if this animation wanted to do something different, but aside from Velma, Daphne was never a mean girl and Fred was never an airhead; I feel they change things way too much, and while I always support changes, I feel this may have gone overboard.
Is weird, and I love, how DC always succeeds at making changes; I know their movies haven't been very popular, but their cartoons, animated movies, and comics change the ethnicity of some characters and the sexual orientation of others, and that is something I command a lot.
That is a good approach to take; she denies her sexual orientation by dating the male character she is the closest with, just to come to terms with her true self and show it. I don't know or remember if I watched that version, but I like what that show did with her.
The censorship of The Owl House, The Legend of Korra, and many other shows suffered at the hands of their studios who didn't want to show a dose of reality.
I think I remember Sarah Michelle Gellar saying something about that; apparently, she only accepted to be Daphne on the Live Action because the movie was going to be more mature and unorthodox, but Warner Brothers forced the director to cut certain scenes. I remember watching a deleted scene that left nothing to the imagination regarding Daphne and a possessed Velma. I know this is going to be popular, but I lowkey liked the relationship Velma and that guy she met on the island had; it was kind of nice to see her having so much fun with someone she met randomly.
I remember Coco Diablo to some degree, I saw memes and clips of her and how Velma had a huge crush on her. It was nice how everyone supported her on that one.
I read the season ended amazingly; with the main group dissolving because of how their relationships turned out, and how there is a cliffhanger with another murderer. Still, I cannot stop seeing Kelly from the office when I see the design of Velma 2023. It is good to hear the opinion of someone who watched the show from beginning to end.
I knew it! I mentioned above, but I knew what I was saying; Velma was indeed rude and manipulative to everyone. Thanks a lot for confirming my speculations and theory hahaha. Still, it sucks to hear how much her character was ruined.
Exactly, Bugs Bunny was already amazing, and he raised a whole generation to feel comfortable with the way they are.
A producer from Luca confirmed the ship? That is news to me; I mean, knowing that Luca and Alberto were meant to be a couple, not part of Disney censoring them. Maybe, in some way, their relationship can be explored a bit more in detail in another movie.
This is going to be controversial, but as of now, I feel people aren't ready to see characters from older cartoons and shows exploring their sexuality. Nevertheless, original shows such as Hearstopper, Given, and Sasaki to Miyano became a hit because of how new they were.
I love that in this season we have Cherry Magic, a BL, and in the next season there is another BL anime; what is more surprising, is that the upcoming BL is an Omegarverse, a genre I am not particularly fond of but I am still going to watch.
Same here, there are several BL, and LGBT shows in general, that deserve an anime or animated movie adaptation for how good they are. The battle is hard, but little by little changes are happening.
Andre Braugher was still young, it is horrible to see what happened to him; I hope he knew how loved he was. He left way too early.
De nada; si sirvio un poco, me alegro habert ayudado.
Esas fueron las palabras exactas del Capitán Holdt; parafraseandolo, cada vez que alguién dice quién es, el mundo se vuelve un lugar un poco más interesante. Espero llegue el día en que las personas ni siquiera deban salir del closet y puedan ser felices con quién aman sin ser juzgados.
Exactamente! Viva la revolución dijo Maria Elena Fuseneco!
I hate I wasn't able to fully watch Modern Family when it first aired and when it was on Netflix. I watched some episodes from very different seasons; and yet, with the few episodes I saw, I saw the magic in that sitcom.
I think I will watch the movie of Sasaki to Miyano, and perhaps the one of Hirano to Kagiura, after I finish watching Monster.
So far I am enjoying Monster quite a lot; I just love how the characters are connected with one another, and also how easy to hate are most of the villains hahaha.

No offense, but I don´t think I can watch more shows or movies portraying transphobia. Still, I am glad to hear that Alice's character faces support from women after suffering from discrimination.
I will keep Alice Junior on my list to watch; it looks like quite an appealing movie.
Gracias, y es cierto lo que dices, todos tenemos diferentes maneras para lidiar con los problemas. Siempre y cuando no sea una manera en la que se abuse de otros, apoyo y respecto cualquier tipo de auto ayuda.
Tu manera de ver las cosas es muy hermosa; al final del día, todos tenemos cosas de las que no hablamos y llegamos al final después de una vida llena de esfuerzo de diferentes maneras.
I remember watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy, and the speech of that episode always followed me. It was as follows:
"In Japan, when a piece of pottery breaks, some potters fill the cracks with gold. The potters, they see the repair as something beautiful. They know that the unexpected happens. Change happens. They know that nobody gets through this world in one piece. That doesn’t have to diminish us. The cracks are part of our history. They will always be with us. They made us better. They made us stronger. They made us something new."
Which I frankly believe is beautiful, as well as real.
Es completamente entendible; hay heridas que demoran en sanar mucho, así que cómo también hay heridas que se abren de la nada, o que tal vez nunca vayan a sanar.
En ese caso, habla y llora sobre esos problemas as much as you need it; es dificil sanar de un dia para otro, y si necesitas sumar algún otro paso, gritar por ejemplo, hazlo tan fuerte como puedas.
Me alegro de esuchar, en ningún momento he tenido la intención de ofenderte ni nada por el estilo de ningúna manera; cómo dije anteriormente, intentar rescatar algo bueno dentro de lo malo es una manera de intentar mejorar.
Lo mismo digo; un abrazo enorme desde la distancía.

I hope Deadpool 3 has a touching scene just like that one in the afterlife Wade had with Vanessa in Deadpool 2; it is amazing how touching and beautiful that scene was.
On the contrary, the Spanish Dub kept several of those jokes, and sometimes even made some jokes even more questionable. I like watching Scary Movie 1 and 2 from time to time when I am having a bad day; they are truly my guilty pleasure.
Hahaha, we have the same taste in the movies; I hate the Wayan brothers weren't involved in the subsequent movies, I feel they could have saved that franchise.
So far, I feel Spy 2 is just a rumor; I don´t think it will ever be produced despite the first having a vague outcome for the main villain. I would love to see another Scary Movie, especially if it is produced by the Wayan brothers; that would be the dream.
S.P.D was a masterpiece, but I wish the white ranger wasn´t just a suit actor; Ninja Storm is also a great season, I loved that opening song a lot, but nowadays I have mixed feelings due to the personal life of the Red Ranger, Pua Magasiva. I was born a lot later after the franchise started, and I grew up with a rebroadcast of some seasons, and that is why I came to love Power Rangers in Space and Time Force; those two seasons had wonderful villains and character development.
Honestly, I always loved Team ups between seasons, those were my favorite episodes; I wish that tradition continued since there was a lot of Super Sentai material for studios to use.
Angelica was a great character; she was able to easily steal the scene. I loved that while being spoiled she was also caring; she knew Cariltos' mom, or Chuckie´s mom, was dead, and she still went along with his innocence that his mother was still there for him. There was a comic strip on Facebook that showed Carlitos looking at the sky because he "Heard if I stand on a Crack, I'd bring my mother back." Angelica wanted to correct him and say that it was "Break my mother back" but she saw what was happening and went along. It showed how she cared for the babies and understood the situation.
I like laughing, and while sometimes I don´t always understand the accent or vocabulary, that´s what subs are for; the day I watch Fleabag I am sure I´ll love it.
I will make a recommendation because I saw the opportunity hahaha; If you have time, please read the manga or watch the anime of Undead Unluck. The villains are very likable, to the point of even being favorites in popularity polls. The story used two tropes I am not particularly fond of, reviving characters and turning villains into allies, but the author did such a great job at rewriting those tropes that I am now a huge fan of the story.
I love villains who have a well-developed background and reasons behind their actions. Still, I would like to see a villain who is just selfish, uncaring, and egomaniacal from time to time hahaha.
I like those three characters a lot; Heather knows who she is and is not afraid to show herself through the world. I love she became a main character once again in season 3; moreover, their small instances of truce are enjoyable. Honestly, season 1 was great for Gwen and Lindsay, I loved when the latter stood up against Heather.
Hahaha, I love Gwen a lot, she is my favorite character, to be honest, and I hated the final when Owen won the season instead of her; she was the underdog, and I was on her side from beginning to end. I love and cherish the episode when Gwen and Geoff needed to team up to the wing, just for the latter to be eliminated; the moment they shared and the picture they took of themselves was wholesome.
Thanks a lot for the YouTube links to Disventure Camp. I am curious to ask, is Jake as toxic as comments say he is? I read on YouTube people called them Toxic x Ninja/Mortal Kombat; still, I like how cute they are together, and their designs are very unique.

I feel Gakkou Gurashi needs an anime remake; the studio did a good job at butchering things.
I know hahaha; I'd love a Shimanami Tasogare anime adaptation, but any BL receiving attention is enough for me. I will definitely watch Tasogare Outfocus the day it airs. By the way, are you watching Cherry Magic? Because I am loving it!
I still remember the first time I saw a celebrity from my country; he was the MC of a comedy show I didn't particularly like, though I remember my grandmother and relatives loving it. Long story short, I started to smile sillyly in nervousness and missed my chance to ask for a picture.
On a delulu note, I must say the other day I had a dream I met Selena Gomez in my country hahaha; it felt so real and I was so angry the pictures I took with her were blurry hahaha.
I think the same; it is nice to talk about pop culture. You know, the other a friend recommended me the documentary about Jeffrey Epstein, which left me very disturbed; then, I decided to watch Victorious on Netflix as well to try and forget it, and I remembered all the nasty things the Victorious cast members were victims of.
I honestly can't see a live-action Minecraft movie adaptation, but I am eager to see how things will work; remember me about it when the trailer is available, please, I want to see how things will be.
I am eager to start playing Undertale as I have heard several splendid reviews about the game; I will read some of the books I have on my shelf before, and then I will play until I reach the different endings.
That sounds wonderful; I heard the second Percy Jackson movie was a mess and that ruined the possibilities of continuing the movie franchise, so I am glad to hear the series is following the books as closely as possible. Still, I hope they can record everything on time since the kids will grow and the franchise is pretty long.
I agree, I also hate the weekly update episodes several streaming platforms have; is just a way to keep taking money from people, especially with longer series.
That's the best thing to do, and if you don't lose interest while waiting then you will enjoy the series without having to wait for updates.

I am glad you are loving Derry Girls; that show deserved more seasons. I agree with you on that, Joel was unnecessarily mean towards Gerry; the time I disliked him the most was when they left the town for some days and found that guy in the car trunk. Throughout that episode, he was simply annoying.
Gerry didn't deserve so much bashing from his father-in-law at all; he tried to be the voice of the reason, but everyone kept on siding with Joel every time no matter what.

As I mentioned before, I like when villains have a good background that allows you to see the reasons behind their actions, and I also like redemption arcs, but after seeing so many instances of authors going overboard with the trope of turning every villain into a hero I just grew tired of it; I mean, in Fairy Tail almost every villain became either heroes or anti-heroes. Moreover, I feel the case that sealed the deal for me was Symphogear; the season 1 main villain was physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive towards one of the heroes, and in the final season other characters were like "Well, she changed and we saw the way she suffered."

Really? This is the first time I heard something like that; so, LGBT people tend to enjoy horror movies. I think I will look for more information about it. By the way, what is the metaphor for Dracula?
This is the first time I heard Oscar Wilde was persecuted as well, and it frankly shocks me a bit considering how open-minded Ireland seemed to be in Derry Girls. I guess I still need to read a lot more about it. Not to be offensive, but I reminded this gay couple, one is British and the other Asian, and on one of their videos the British one said "We are boyfriends, but historians will say we are just friends."
I am not going to lie, aside from knowing Dracula was a vampire, I don't know much about it; maybe I will buy a copy of the book to see what it is about.
I think it was a very common practice to convey the hidden message with something else in front; I think it also happened in manga and anime. It made me remember that poet called Sappho who was "married" to "a man" named Kerkylas of Andros, who is not a real person apparently; tried to look up the meaning behind his name.
Again, I am not going to lie, I am not that into vampires in any form of media; but the few ones I have read and seen do remind me of what you are saying.
Now that I think about it, it kind of makes sense; vampires drink the blood of anyone, and they don't discriminate on the source. I don´t know why, but even though I haven´t read that franchise, I already love the author; he sounds like a wonderful person.
Hahaha, that makes a lot of sense; now that I think about it, if we start reading deep into the lines, most horror movies always end with a woman killing a man, like heterophobia if that exists.
I guess I need to start watching older movies to confirm what you are saying.
Are there gay undertones in Chucky's movies? I am not going to lie, I don't feel comfortable with that considering the main character for three movies was an underage child.
I do believe any and every single thing I heard about A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 having several gay characters since I also know the movie portrayed the MC, whose actor I think was also gay, as boy who felt more comfortable with his friend instead of his girlfriend; moreover, I think I also read how the movie was a metaphor of the MC being scared of coming out, and Freddy coming out of his chest was like his "Gay self" coming out of his chest.
Indeed, they have done a great job at gathering a lot of people, while also portraying their ideas in an appealing way for everyone.

Ok, I am curious to ask, why did the mother fight with her TikToker daughterdaughter? I have my theories, but I still want to know hahaha.
Ahora en Chile hubo un caso fuerte que no se manejo de la mejor manera. En el reality Tierra Brava, Francisca Undurraga, quién es conocida por participar en realities solo para irse eliminada en la primera instancia que la nominan y por besarse con el 90% del elenco, le tiro una pala llena de desechos de burro a Angelica Sepulveda, quién es conocida en Chile como la Chucky por tener un caracter fuerte y no tenerle miedo a la confrontación. Si bien Angelica le dijo un par de cosas fuerte a Francisca, Francisca se victimizo immediatamente cómo que no hizo nada y era la victima. El público immediatamente se puso de lado de Angelica y es opinion popular que Francisca tuvo que haber sido expulsada por esa agresión degradante.

I hope you enjoy AHS once you start it; I feel seasons 1, 2, and 6 were some of the most terrifying ones. I didn't watch season 8, but people say is the scariest one of them all.

I am not trying to discredit your fear at all, but in all honesty, flying on planes isn't scary at all; I mean, I just traveled twice for 1 hour, and fortunately, I never experienced any turbulence. Do you have in mind the first place you want to visit?
Thanks a lot for your kind words hahaha :)
I forgot to mention her about Dragula; I met her some weeks ago to drink and chat, and we were so into gossiping that I forgot to tell her about it. I am sure she is going to love Dragula, and I'll be sure to remember the show.
I am thankful to Netflix for uploading the Argentinian version of Married With Children called Casados con Hijos; I love the Chilean version, but the character of Maria Elena Fuseneco in Casados con Hijos Argentina is an icon, she should have been nominated for big awards for her interpretation.
I heard Poison some weeks ago, but I prefer Addict more. I will watch Hazbin Hotel after I finish watching Monster, but so far the clips I have seen have been amazing; I love Niffty so much! She is so crazy and I love her!
Ratatouille, I cannot forget that movie; it wasn't my favorite, but it was the first movie I ever watched in a Cinema, and I still remember when I got scared over one of the first scenes, I think it was lightning that fell hahaha.
I see, it was a great job I must say.
Honestly, with other social media accounts, I don't have an issue because most of the people I follow or talk with are from the place where I live, but I don't feel that comfortable using personal pictures of myself on a page like MAL.
Indeed, Netflix did a superb job with the animation of Scott Pilgrim. Something I found funny was Ramona bleaching her hair every week; I mean, I may understand if there was a message behind the different colors, but there is no way hair survives that much.
The fact Netflix brought the original cast, as well as the dubbed version cast members, to reprise their roles showed how much faith Netflix had in the project.

A mi también, se que tal vez me equivoque con la ortografía o algo parecido, o talvez escriba lo mismo dos veces sin darme cuenta (A veces me distraigo mientras leo o escribo hahaha) pero me gusta escribir también.
Lo mismo opinon; cheers tu us, salud por nosotros y para el futuro!
Yo también disfruto mucho nuestras conversaciones.
Saludos y que tengas una buena semana también :)
