My Opinion - Blog Posts
You know what?
When I was a kid, I watched Donald Trump leave the plane with my dad in the confines of my home, and I went like, “Oh, no, I don’t like him.” The reason I was like that was because my little kid brain didn’t like the fact that he shared the same name as Donald Duck. I don’t think I shared that out loud with my parents, though.
Several years later and apparently he’s being fined, has a criminal record, and has a lot of controversy going on. If I were still that kid today, I would’ve thought that he disgraced the Disney character Donald Duck. But me today, I think he kinda deserved some of it, honestly. If he had an impeachment trial for something, he would’ve had something done extremely wrong to deserve it.
But! This is only my opinion of Donald Trump. Please don’t get mad at me. I don’t really know anything about the political matters involving Trump. I’ve only gotten a title of news or two, that’s it.
The different religions are the variations of shippers
I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but in my head, it makes a lot of sense. Sorry it's so long, and for the bad english, it's not my first, or second, language
I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL PEOPLE WHO PRACTISE THESE RELIGIONS ARE LIKE THIS OR SHIP THESE SHIPS, IT'S JUST FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Christianity (both catolicism and orthodoxy) - the people who ship the straight canon ship of the series. On every type of platform, you can find at least one person who roots for them and actively supports and defends it. Most of these types of people are very offended when someone doesn't ship it and starts to A. Start defending its honore stating that since it's canon, it's the only valid ship. Or B. Threaten the person who doesn't ship it. Anyone who has something bad to say about this ship is deemed a hater and is ostracized from the community. Because the ship has a lot of shippers, some interpret the ship in other ways, which creates tension inside the community, so generally, there are two sides of the ship, with different fancanons and interpretations.
Muslimness- people who ship the "problematic" ship. The ship isn't actually problematic and can be very wholesome if you look at the actual story, but someone at some point did something problematic with these characters or was just a very vocal shipper who did something bad (like that comic of Childe and Ganyu) and now every person who even barely supports it is deemed problematical and a bad person. Receive unreserved hate and are attacked a lot for something they didn't do.
Buddhism ( I don't know a lot about buddhism, so I'm sorry if I get it wrong)- people who ship the side pairing. They are just along for the ride, and even though they don't get as much screen time and attention from the fan base, as the main ship. They just enjoy it as it is, creat fanart and other things in peace, and generally don't get in a lot of debates even when people attack them.
Paganism - the multi-shippers. They don't understand the need for ship wars and drama surrounding one ship becoming canon while another doesn't. In both scenarios, a ship they like gets attention, so a win-win situation. Some do have OTPs and are even happier when they become canon or get attention, but aren't super sad if they don't. Over all they just enjoy creating fan art , but sometimes someone will start attacking them for "betraying" one ship for another and accusing them of all sorts of things, like liking pro-ships or other problematic ships. In some cases, it may be true, but generally, it's total bullsh*t.
Atheists - people who don't ship. They either don't get the need for romance or just don't see the appeal in it. They may get attacked for this, but they honestly couldn't care less for ships. Some are very rude and say stuff to people who do support ships, canon or not, that it's pointless and disgusting to ship fictional characters and a lot of other mean stuff.
Old religions/small religions - people who ship the rare pairs. Not a lot of content, but they appreciate every piece. Some ships are more popular than others, of course, but are generally pretty obscure with a lot of fanon interpretations to make up for the lack of it in canon. Some of the more popular ships will try to erase any content the ship does have or twist it to make it problematic, platonic, or centred around their ship.
Not sure for the other religions or types of shippers, if you have any thoughts or corrections please say them without insults.
This post came by when I was explaining what being a pagan means to a frien, and I used being a multi-shipper as a comparison, and it spiralled from there.
Yes, I am pagan, but I was raised as an orthodoxy christian, so I'm sorry if I got anything wrong for the other religions.
since the cursed child is not canon ron never stopped being an auror btw
I never understood why parents punish/ground their kids for having bad grades. obviously, your child is struggling academically and needs help...so... Your choice is to punish them..? Maybe if you took time out of your oh so busy life, and tried to help your child study, make it fun even! they'd be doing better in school. They might even be struggling mentally, punishing them just makes it worse and makes them less modivated. Your child needs human understanding, they're not a robot. This can lead to your child being scared to ask for help, or pushing themselves to be perfect, stressing over a less than perfect grade. Stop saying your child is a failure, you're just a bad parent.
situationships and talking stages are OUT passionate obsessive all-consuming soul ties and love affairs are IN
Erotica vs. Porn.
Warning: this is not my area of expertise and more of an observation. Dime store romance novels get a bad rep, being called “porn for woman”. I disagree but that doesn’t mean I like it. It usually feature the damsel in distress being rescued by the perfectly built hero (who usually is a vigilante or a mysterious stranger). I wouldn’t call them porn, most only have short sex scenes that last for a page or two and are done. Mostly, they’re the same plot with cardboard cut-out characters. Notice the key word? Plot.
Erotica has a plot, a story. No matter how overdone and unoriginal it is story driven. Sex does not fill it cover-to-cover. This doesn’t excuse shoddy writing but it is it’s one saving grace (granted there are some good ones).
Again, don’t be mistaken, erotica is it’s own genre. If you find a book in the fantasy section and it has sex in it, it’s still fantasy. Erotic specifically aims to incorporate sex and sexual tension; it’s the promise of at least one intimate, explicitly detailed (but for the most part tastefully worded), romantic moment between the two main characters. Another key word: romantic.
Porn is not tasteful. Porn is beginning to end sex with hardly any plot, or a horrible plot. There does not need to be any romance. The writing, more often than not, make dime store novels look like a “New York Times Best Seller”.
If you enjoy porn, it’s your life and your choice. I’m not trying to criticize a person’s life, but I bring this up for a few simple reasons: 1) Porn does not need to be video or images, stories can also be porn. 2) Woman in Erotica at least are (for the ones I’ve read) truly loved and are in love. Some are even very independent characters and CAN be likeable. Woman in porn are not like this. They are weak and submissive, bribed or coerced into their relationships. 3) Again, erotica is story driven with a fairly solid (no matter how dull) of a plot. They go through editors and a publishing house to end up on shelves. Porn is written strictly for the sex with little to no imagination put into it. The writing not up to par with erotica. 4) Fifty Shades of Gray is porn and, I admit, the reason for my post.
Sorry if this is overdone, but Fifty Shades of Gray is NOT erotica. It may be published, but it’s all about the sex with no plot. The romance is more of a hoax as Anastasia IS brided back into a relationship with Gray and emotionally blackmailed. And really guys, what other proof do you need than it was a Twilight fanfiction that was even less story and all sex.
Biting is hot and everybody that says it's not is in denial.
Fight (bite) me about it.
