The Flood / Am i now a valid trans girl because I can say "I'm on hormones"? Seems silly« on: May 08, 2019, 12:13:28 PM »
People called me a trender and that I'm not even trans or that I'm AGP for so long, and now when I get on hormones, those aggressive faces turned into friendly ones. It's sick seeing people questioning the legitimacy of a person's "transness" (way out of my element here so bare with me) based on whether or not their current social and/or financial status allows them to take HRT.
So much toxicity within trans groups is all I can say. You'd think it would be like, we're all in the same boat, but no. It's just funny that I've now joined this secret club/clique, and fucked up as well. 1055

The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 30, 2019, 01:46:53 PM »LOL dude, I'm far from alone in loving these people. You just have the bleakest outlook in the world, and it certainly extends to how you feel about fictional worlds and the characters within them.But these flaws just make us love the character more.nope 1065
The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 30, 2019, 01:42:04 PM »note that one part:This isn't even true. Maybe if the character is a heel - which Azula isn't. You're never supposed to think she's a monster, by the way - she's a fucking child; it's clear from like 7 episodes into season 2 that she's only this way because her father was the only one in her life who cared about her (in a utilitarian way, sure, but how is an 11 year old supposed to know that?) She was never a candidate for Iroh's tutelage or even for her mother's care and support. Again, all of this didn't come from some late season 3 episode - it came nearly as soon as her character was introduced. But going back to this "flaws are supposed to make us dislike the character" nonsense, how much can you possibly miss the idea of likeable flaws? That's not bad writing - it's good writing. YouTube But Britta is a hero. What about someone like Aku, a villain? Well, his flaws are literally the essence of his character. He's not just pure evil in some wordy 3rd grader understanding of "good and bad". He's pure "evil" (toxic) in terms of his actual personality traits. His braggadocio, pettiness, smugness, narcissism, and straight-up rudeness are all embedded character traits, and he has those traits because of his very nature (a big black evil mass). YouTube But these flaws just make us love the character more. They don't make us dislike him and aren't in service to a larger arc where we like him more when he overcomes those flaws. He never overcomes them, and he has the flaws throughout the entire series. But like I said, that's why he has fans and why he's such an endearing, funny character. EDIT: Didn't see you edited your post to include villains, actually - but my point still stands. 1066
The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 30, 2019, 01:13:52 PM »Azula is cool, though. And Verbatim, I'm overzealous about literally everything. Maybe someday you'll realize I don't fetishize Azula any more than I fetishize Britta Perry, Dale Cooper, Stanley Pines, Diana Lombard, Clover, Emily Kaldwin, Colonel Moore, or any other amazing character that I'm obsessed with. You only have the idea I do it with Azula because I did unironically have a crush on her as a child, and it was probably she who awoke the BDSM/sub tendencies in me and my desire to serve a strong person. Put those healthy mental developments the character helped me with aside, and she's no different than any other character I like for actual characterization reasons.There's no set definition for this type of character,i was always well-aware of this, and i thought that you were tooβthe whole idea is that i think my definition is better than yours, because it's much broader and captures the essence of the common tendency for writers to want to write "perfect" characters, whether it be a weak attempt at inserting a projection of themselves into the narrative, or a projection of their innate desire to write a perfect character that everyone will think is cool (which is where azula lies) 1067
The Flood / "Grey Delisle isn't a good VA"« on: April 30, 2019, 01:06:50 PM »

1:11 - 1:36 is the part I'm referring to - just listen to her monotonous, joyless, hateful tone, but clearly trying to grasp something greater than that. (Next part is more of a writing thing) Mandy's character in this episode is just so good. From her first interaction with Grim & Billy, where she asks something seemingly very OOC, it's so heartbreaking to see her struggle with her own identity and try to progress herself as a person. "Birds fly, over the rainbow. Why then, oh why...can't...I?" It's part of the song, but from her inflection, you know she's literally asking this question out to the abyss - it's not fair that she has to be this way, in other words. And she indeed does have to be that way - when she drops the negativity at the end of the episode, reality itself gets torn apart. Pretty goddamn tragic and poignant for an irreverent horror comedy, and that tragedy wouldn't be nearly as illustrated without GDL's acting. 1068
The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 30, 2019, 12:50:28 PM »https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySuethe true definition of a mary sue is an author insertnope Fun fact: We're actually both right. There's no set definition for this type of character, though I've always heard it referred to as an author insert. HOWEVER: So my perception of what the character is isn't baseless, anyway. 1069
The Flood / Re: I had a fucking adventure today -- Part II« on: April 30, 2019, 12:18:00 PM »Your "advice" is shit like "stop doing DXM you piece of trash", and yes when you approach me that way I'm probably going to ignore you.Yeah except I didnβt say anything, let alone care, about him sucking dick lol. Iβm unsympathetic because he is just clearly a trashy person who is completely delusional about a ton of things, homeless druggies being his friend for one. Wonβt listen to a single person here giving advice that would improve his wellbeing(far too late for that anyways). Shows up to work intoxicated(trash) steals from stores(trash), interacts with family and younger impressionable siblings while strung out on drugs(trash). Iβm sure similarities of Carmens mindset are shared among a huge majority of the trashy homeless druggies that arenβt making attempts to get better.how am I grossNo offense but this is why I have very little to 0 sympathy for the homeless drugged out disassociated weirdos I see on the streets or in SF or something. We got to watch your descent firsthand pretty interesting No, I don't judge ANYONE - a homeless man is just as much of valid person as a rich CEO. John (name of the one I'm familiar with) is doubtlessly a better person than you. Your entire life is made of judgment. My life, on the other hand, is fine. I'm getting a Starbucks job soon (getting that trans insurance) and I'm literally starting hormones this week when they call me. I waited at Minnie Jones for about 3 hours this morning (it's my third appointment with them), and signed a bunch of consent forms. Pretty positive outlook for my life. I've told my clinician about my DXM habits, by the way, and he was far from concerned. He asked if it helps me with my dysphoria and upon my affirmation of that, added it to my list of medications that I'm on, along with marijuana. Not everyone, even in the medical industry, is as close-minded as the people on this forum. I'm stopping cigarettes altogether because with estrogen, there's a huge risk of blood complications if I were to continue. Please don't pretend I don't improve myself every day just because you enjoy a different lifestyle than me. I finally went to the eye doctor and got contacts, so now I can finally see more than a foot in front of me! Also I've been keeping up a journal which is helpful. I haven't done DXM in like 6 days but got some today, which is awesome. No weed to go with it but oh well! 1070
The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 28, 2019, 09:39:46 PM »
Bro that's all such bullshit, you have no idea what a mary sue is. Being perfect is a symptom of a mary sue and not the definition of one, sure, and that's because the true definition of a mary sue is an author insert. It's who the author wishes they could be, so they insert them into the story with no flaws and where everyone loves them, and where any flaws are good, reasonable flaws.
Azula is none of that, and HOLY SHIT did you seriously just insult GDL's master-class voice acting? She was the only one in the audition booth who actually voiced Azula with a clear, crisp delivery instead of the cliche evil villain hammy delivery. You're delusional. 1071
The Flood / Re: Rewatching Avatar« on: April 27, 2019, 03:17:11 PM »azula being a cunt is justified given that she's a villainHow is she sue-ish at all when her character's goal, not the way she's written, is perfection? She's not perfect whatsoever, and that's fucking foreshadowed in the first episode she appears in: ("One hair out of place...") As Jono mentioned, she's terribly lacking in all social skills (look at Zuko Alone for perfect example of how she uses fear, not genuine social maneuvering, to keep friends - Azula attempts a cartwheel and fails, Ty Lee attempts one and does an amazing one with a flourish at the end, Azula pushes her down and laughs), and lacks a basic grasp of how love, empathy, and paternal affection operate. If you think she's perfect in any way, you severely missed the point of the writing of the character, and it makes me worry about how many other basic points in the show you also failed to grasp, out of laziness or pure lack of literary skill. 1072

UPDATE: I assumed my computer dead but miraculously it survived! I plugged it in and it started! However, the display didn't work. Just pure black on the screen. I took off the back plastic panel with a tiny flathead screwdriver my mom was able to find. Wrong screwdriver, but it worked. As soon as the bottom casing removed, a little bit of sand fell out, and the rest of the interior was just as sandy. I spent the next fifteen or so minutes blowing everywhere, very hard, in an attempt to make my computer sand-free. I accomplished that, and restored the panel to the computer (I clicked it in, but didn't screw it in). I started it, but again, no display. I was then like oh well.
Several hours later, while searching for the longest controller charger for the PS4 we have in the house, I found an HDMI cable. And that made me remember I have a modern TV and laptop, and just need a monitor. Sure enough, once connected to my laptop, this TV works just as a monitor would. Incredible! I hope to get a new laptop soon, but for now, this will do. 1074
