Iroh: People work their entire lives to find spirits and access the spirit world. It has taken years of dedication and study for me to reach the small part of it that I’m able to find.
Sokka, who accidentally steered a canoe to where the Avatar had been frozen for a century and then fell in love with the moon and also spent 24 hours in the spirit world that one time and was the only one who the hallucinations flat-out spoke to in the magical swamp: what, like it’s hard?
Why is everyone celebrating the CEO's death? He didn't deserve to be killed. No one, unless you're the worst of the worst, deserves to die. No one.
They overestimate the actual level of control a CEO has in a publicly traded company like the one he was running.
Guy could have gone in and tried to make some massive sweeping changes to coverage and all cost and all that good stuff and then what would happen is the shareholders would come in and kick his ass out of there because profits are down or they might even be posting a loss.
For a company that size his salary was actually on the low end too.
But people just want a villain and he's convenient right now, especially with other goings on in the world experiencing a sea change when it comes to things to scream and yell about.
If people really want to find the villains out there they need to look past the CEO's of these companies though, gotta find out who the ceo answers to.
They don't deserve to be murdered either though.

I’ve thought like really long and hard about all the male characters presented in Remarried Empress and, might as well do a blurb on Heinley… err Heinrey I’m still flip flopping between the translations for the name
I’ve done previous breakdown on my opinion of Sovieshuu here if anyone’s curious. The reason why I love Heinrey so much is not so much to do with the fact that he’s the classic good looking male lead or whatever but because he is honest. And that really is what makes it or breaks it imo when it comes to Navier’s relationship. Prior to the divorce it’s really hard to see this!!! Because of the whole bird thing, it really covers up why their relationship works!!! This honesty doesn’t even manifest until after they go to the Western Kingdom!
(mild spoiler warning as most of this is post-divorce, i tried to keep it light)
Keep reading
Hate him and whatever. He's dumb. But what the heck are you encouraging doxxing? Violence is Not the answer!! Ignore him and make him irrelevant if you want, but you deserve to be pepper sprayed at least if you show up to his house. Swatting is attempted murder. Grow up. Be better.
For your art request: can I ask for an art of Wolfie with Wild) I love these blorboes so much!
Your artstyle is so cool, I adore it enormously!!!)
Yawning is contagious...😪
I’m glad Maes Hughes died.
He’s a fan favorite character and I enjoy him a lot too, but I think fundamentally he’s a character who has to die. His role in the narrative is to haunt it.
I might be even more of a weirdo because I enjoy his manga characterization over his Brotherhood or ‘03 portrayal, but I love the idea of Hughes being someone the Elric brothers barely know - someone we, the audience, barely see.
Until he dies.
Because suddenly he’s everywhere. He was Roy’s friend and Armstrong’s superior officer and Winry’s acquaintance and Elicia’s father - and he was the soldier both Ed and Al knew, but didn’t actually know, that got killed because of them anyway.
In the manga Winry stays at Hughes’ place, but Ed and Al enter his house for the first time after they found out he died. For them, it’s not about losing a friend (though I am sure they liked him just fine) because that story is already Roy’s - for them it’s about realizing that this plot they’ve involved themselves in kills people that aren’t actually directly involved at all to begin with. It makes sense for their allies and friends and loved-ones to be targeted by the antagonists - but a soldier who mostly joined in because he was at the right (or wrong) place at the right (wrong) time? That’s not supposed to happen. And that’s what makes Hughes’ death so hard on them.
(and poor Elicia - abandoned children without their fathers were always a weakness of Ed’s)
But Roy? Yeah… he suffers. From the moment of Hughes’ dead on, Roy is haunted by it. By him. His best friend follows him everywhere. We see it in the way Roy only involves himself in the plot because Hughes figured something out and Roy is desperate for answers. He hunts down the homunculi to save this country, sure, but mostly so he can burn his best friend’s murderer to the ground. When Riza talks about winning against the Führer and their military dictatorship, she talks about all of them, not a hint of revenge coloring her vision - but Roy? It is telling that it isn’t a greater ideal that makes him torture Envy, but the agony of his best friend’s death.
The thing that almost breaks Roy is Maes.
No.
It’s Maes’ memory haunting the narrative.
And isn’t that beautiful?
The tragedy of it all, the horror, and the realization that Roy Mustang never really recovered from the War, that his friends are the only think keeping him in one piece, the fact that Roy Mustang is a Hero and a Monster and a fallible human capable of love.
Maes Hughes has to die to remind all of us of what Roy Mustang is capable of: love, loyalty, devotion…. and the slaughter and torture of numerous people.
His ghost is haunting the narrative - and for that I love him.
Stop saying capitalism when you mean consumerism.
Stop saying capitalism when you mean corporatism.
Stop saying capitalism when what you're experiencing is actually much closer to socialism.
