2023.06.10 18:50 Resident-Street-4847 Why Kpop and KDrama fans and stans claim they are not obsessed with Korean people when they spend 90% of their days immersed in Korean media PLUS for many of the fans and stans it is much more than listening or watching?
much more than listening or watching i mean LIVES, Concerts, Shows, Survival shows, Dancing, Variety shows, And for some Even Learning Korean. And different from other stuff which many say is not accessible supposedly Korean sutff is accessible so they got so much stuff of Korean media to watch , listen and enjoy.
I've been thinking this cause they say there's nothing wrong, that is not an obsession, but when they all they thinking all day long is their idols(and their bodies and their beauty and stuff) and their idol lives and their having tons of idol videos and mvs and shows and probably posters all over their room and , they probably do it everyday or most days. And the Korean drama fans say that KDrama is so addictive they can't stop. Oh and then the sacrificing their freedom just to belong to fandom and streaming.
If their so immersed with mostly watching and viewing Korean people all days of the year isn't that mean they are obsessed with them?
Many Kdrama people even say they dont even know what's happening in their own countries because they are just immersed in kdrama. And that they don't care about anything their country and that it sucks and is so boring compared to kdrama.
Oh and i want to say, in some other stuffs you just listen to the music casual, you just watch shows casual but i'm saying obsession because in kpop and kdrama, they do much more than just casual listening. There's parasocial stuffs( even the people in the kpop forums subreddits told me this) and that with the kpop idols and stuff.
But anyways, it's FUNNY how they say they are not INTO KOREAN people when it's kind of obvious they are, since they are watching them like all year long and then the ones picked to be kpop and kdrama stars are picked for their beauty , don't tell me the teeens and people who watched them are not a bit attracted.
Even Streamers(like twitch or Chinese streamers) get super obsessed fans with parasocial relationships and they are not super famous. So i'm sure kpop kdrama fans also get obsessed and since Kpop Kdrama is mostly Korean people then it follows they are obssesed with Korean people. Dont tell me they are only obssed with the stories and the Music. That would be bunch of BS.

Jaime Munguia Vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko: Start Time, Date, How To Watch Tonight
Former WBO junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia is getting his long-awaited step-up fight against Sergiy ‘The Technician’ Derevyanchenko tonight at the Toyota Center in Ontario, California. DAZN will stream the Munguia vs. Derevyanchenko event live, starting at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.
Derevyanchenko comes into this fight with a big advantage in experience over Munguia. It’ll be interesting to see if he can use that to win against the much younger fighter.
Munguia will need to show a lot more ability to win this fight against Derevyhanchenko from what we’ve seen against him in his recent contests against Gonzalo Gaston Coria, Jimmy Kelly, Gabe Rosado, Kamil Szeremeta, Gary O’Sullivan, and Tureano Johnson.
MUNGUIA VS. DEREVYANCHENKO START TIME
Date: Saturday, June 10
Time: 8 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. BST
Main event ringwalks (approx): 11 p.m. ET / 4 a.m. BST
The fight will take place at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.
The card will stream live on DAZN in over 200 countries across the globe
The main card begins at 8 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. BST with the main event ringwalks scheduled for 11 p.m. ET / 4 a.m. BST. These timings could change due to the length of the undercard fights.
If Derevyanchenko can recapture the form he showed in his fights against Danny Jacobs and Gennadiy Golovkin, Munguia could be in for a long night on June 10th. Derevyanchenko fought well enough to deserve wins over both fighters but, unfortunately, came up short.
Derevyanchenko is from Ukraine and competed in the 2008 Olympics. He turned pro in 2014 and has been on the receiving end of questionable decisions in his toughest bouts.
Fans feel that Munguia has been brought along too slowly during his career, matched against beatable opposition, and not put in with the type of opposition that would have potentially turned him into a star.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya says a win for the 26-year-old Munguia over the 37-year-old Munguia will put him in a position to challenge for a world title.
However, Munguia has been in a position to challenge for a world title for the last two years. Still, he keeps turning them down, rejecting fights against former WBO champion Demetrius Andrade and Janibek Alimkhanuly.

2023.06.10 18:40 HorizonPointShawn Varcolac Clans Sneak Peak
| This time I present another individual warband sneak peek, the Varcolac Clans! https://preview.redd.it/3crhacl8y75b1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bee472a1f6fd5df8d8203c0024f48d5095598ae For those families unfortunate enough to live and make their living in the depths of the dark and dangerous Morgulian forests, with the nearest neighbors a day or more travel distant, life is harsh in the extreme and the prospect of slow starvation is an ever present companion. Many such families become desperate, insular, and extremely violent; foul savages who have long forgotten the realities of civility if not the adornments. Such families become fodder for tales to frighten children with lurid details of rape, murder, and cannibalism. Unfortunately, these tales are not always malicious fictions... After the passing of The Black Star Zibaba, certain of these families began to hear growling whispers from the shadows of the woods at night. Whispers that spoke of their hunger and bitterness and offered meat and fulfillment, strength and power. If only they would let it in... Now the nights are broken not only by the howls of wolves but by other howls as well, like that of wolves and, yet, so unlike and filled with the cruelty of which only the most evil of humanity could conceive, as to leave even the bravest shivering with fear. Meanwhile, certain families of the "wood folk" grow, not hard and desperate as usual, but powerful and fierce. The family elders are oft spoken of with reverence but never seen by civilized folk with which these families trade and it is often remarked that the oldest that are seen have something "savage" about them and even the young look at others in a leering way that makes them uncomfortable. The superstitious peasantry claim that, in the depths of the forests, whole clans of these “Varcolac” take on horrible half wolf and half human forms to hunt down and savage any such prey as they can capture to fill their bellies and animal lusts alike. Unfortunately for them, they are not wrong. So what makes the Varcolac different from the other Versipeli from a game standpoint? The Varcolac prefer to hunt in the dark and dense woods of Morgulia rather than the more open areas so, when placing terrain, they may always choose to place Woods, rather than rolling for the terrain type. Moreover, the Varcolac are utterly vicious, mauling and tearing their foes apart with claw and fang as often as not and so have the Berserk Trait and their unarmed attacks count as Slashing. Varcolac warbands also have access to Abilities and Spells that allow them to further tap into their frenzied savagery. The Ferocious Charge Ability grants a +1 bonus to their CC and immunity to Command penalties during a Turn in which they successfully Charge an enemy model and their Sama have access to the spell "Raging Hunger" which allows them to Charge an enemy model within 12", ignoring intervening models and terrain, and gain +1 Combat die during the Turn. Should you hear strange howls in the night, bolt fast your doors and windows and pray their strength holds! https://linktr.ee/horizonpointstudios13 https://preview.redd.it/8aq3amady75b1.png?width=2925&format=png&auto=webp&s=638e44b142c9bc16eae828196ae1c9126f9d091f submitted by HorizonPointShawn to CursedLandsMorgulia [link] [comments] |
2023.06.10 18:30 kcr141 As If On Q: part 5
Memory transcript subject: Tal, Venlil Space Corps
Date [standardized human time]: December 31, 2136
This was it. Since the incident at Sillis, humanity had gathered as many allies as they could and prepared to confront the federation, and in a few moments, I would be exiting subspace in orbit around Aafa.
By all rights, flying solo into this conflict should have terrified me. Instead, it just felt surreal. Really, I should have been vaporized by an antimatter bomb on the surface of Sillis, but a twist of fate— an unprecedented intervention led me here instead. Now, I was given a chance to scratch one more item off my bucket list, though not quite in the way I had hoped.
I dropped out of FTL, and the rest of Venlil Prime’s contribution to the fleet was close behind. As the Venlil ships joined the attack, I took in the situation before me. Most of our fleet consisted of human ships, however, they were interspersed with vessels from several other species including Mazics, Zerulians, Harchen, and even a few Thafki.
Already, the Kolshians were preparing to meet our advance; I didn’t have much time.
Quickly, I switched FTL configurations and began preparing to travel into subspace once again. Now, I just had to wait.
Up ahead, the two fleets were about to meet when suddenly, the humans’ allies panicked. A large portion of the non-human ships had broken formation, though luckily, they seemed to be recovering quickly. Several UN vessels followed the diverging ships and our fleet was divided into two. In response, the Kolshians split their fleet as well.
At first, I wasn’t sure what all the commotion was about, but it quickly became obvious: the ships that remained on their original course were fighting the Arxur.
There was no mistaking it, the space between us and the Kolshians was filled with Arxur vessels. They were scared, disoriented, and shooting at anything that moved.
As they began taking fire from UN ships, the Arxur sent out a hail.
“You! Humans! What trickery is this!?”
I recognized the huntress’ voice. In the aftermath of Sillis, I had listened to her transmission threatening to make cattle out of humans.
Looks like we found the rest of Shaza’s fleet.
Immediately, this led to more questions.
Was her fleet sent into the future, or had they just been in subspace this entire time?
Were the humans really sure that what I was about to do was safe?
We opted not to send a response, and the only reply offered by the Kolshians was a barrage of rail gun fire. Shaza and her army were getting sandwiched between the opposing fleets.
Stars, I really was spending too much time around Nick.
It wasn’t long before the human alliance and the Kolshians were fighting directly, and it quickly became apparent that the federation had been holding back all this time. Many of their ships were designs that had never been seen before, and they remained unusually composed despite the stress of battle. To top it all off, the Kolshians had us outnumbered significantly. If this worked, however, none of that would matter.
The FTL drive was ready. Immediately, I laid in my course and entered subspace.
Almost instantly, I felt a sickening jolt. The sound that resonated through my ship reminded me of the time Nick accidentally left a spoon in the microwave, and then everything went white.
When Q made Shaza’s fleet disappear, they were thrown into subspace despite the presence of FTL disruptors. Not only that, but there was no indication as to where they had gone. If such an event could be duplicated, the strategic advantage would be obvious, and so the UN’s scientists immediately got to work.
Having sensor readings from when the incident occurred certainly sped things along, but it seemed to me that all the humans really needed was to know that it was possible.
Slowly, I regained my senses. My ears were ringing and my head still hurt, but at least the vertigo had started to clear up. As the dizziness subsided, I suddenly understood what I was seeing out of the viewport:
Clouds!
The humans’ modifications to my drive had worked! Though it certainly wasn’t pleasant, I had passed through the Kolshians’ FTL disruptor field and appeared in Aafa’s lower atmosphere.
As I reduced my altitude, the capital city became visible. Even though the weather was partially overcast, the buildings, all made of glass and metal and constructed in unique, artistic shapes, glittered in the sunlight. The urban landscape below was dotted with patches of green giving credence to the planet’s name Aafa, meaning ‘Garden.’
I made sure the payload was ready and then dived down even lower. I made a pass directly over the city and, when I was in clear view of the School of Flora, I activated the release mechanism and triggered the remote ignition.
Dozens of projectiles flew out from underneath my ship. They spireled around chaotically before detonating and spewing a shower of bright red sparks.
There was no way I had not been seen, so now I just had to wait and hope the Kolshian fleet would get the message.
I began to climb in altitude, and as I did so, I kept an eye on the status of the unfolding battle using my ship’s sensors. It took a while, but eventually, something happened.
The Kolshian fleet doubled back. They turned away from their attackers and began making their way in my direction, rushing to defend Aafa.
As soon as this happened, the humans began broadcasting on an open channel:
“This is commander Fortin of the United Nations fleet, please respond.”
He was met with silence.
“You are no doubt aware that we have breached your defenses, however, we are willing to discuss the terms of a ceasefire, please. respond.”
Again, there was no reply.
As the Kolshian fleet neared the planet, a portion of its ships suddenly changed course. It was the ships that were believed to be autonomous, they all suddenly stopped in place, anchoring their position relative to Aafa. The allied fleet simply flew past them with neither firing on each other.
“I repeat, we are willing to negotiate for a peaceful—”
Commander Fortin was cut of by the voice of Nikonous:
“What did you drop on us?!”
“Chief Nikonous, as I said, we are requesting—”
“Spare the pleasantries predator, tell me what you did!”
“They were fireworks, sir,” Fortin said. “Completely harmless, however they could just as easily have been antimatter warheads, next time they will be. We have the ability to circumvent your FTL disruptors and therefore you cannot defend yourself from such an attack, however, as I told you before, we are willing to discuss the terms of a ceasefire.”
Chief Nikonous did not respond, and after an awkward silence, the commander continued.
“We request that you end all hostility with Earth as well as its allies. Assuming that the federation takes no military action against us, we will do the same.”
“This is unacceptable,” Nikonous replied. “I cannot simply allow more federation worlds to fall into your corruption. Your ‘allies’ fall within our purview.”
“Frankly, you aren’t in a position to demand something like that. Our terms are more than reasonable, and we will not be making concessions.”
“And what of the Arxur? Aren’t they your allies too now? Am I supposed to do nothing about the ones who would see us all dead?”
Like you’ve done anything at all before! I thought to myself.
Commander Fortin, however, gave a very simple response:
“The dominion no longer exists,” he said flatly.
After another long pause, Chief Nikonous huffed.
“Very well, I will consider your request.”
With that, the channel went silent. By this point, I had reached the upper atmosphere of the planet. It was surreal. The battle had stopped completely and the UN fleet was preparing to leave.
I was just about to begin charging my own FTL drive when I noticed something odd. One of the Harchen ships that fought alongside the UN was now barreling forward. Commander Fortin’s voice sounded over the comms channel once again:
“Harchen vessel, please return to formation. Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage!”
The ship continued on its path directly towards Aafa, and even stranger, the Kolshian fleet did nothing to stop it.
Something was off…
As I realized that the Harchen ship was headed in my direction, I moved to intercept.
I was just about to hail them when they opened fire. I was hit before I could react.
Quickly, I tried to shake their target lock, however, my ship’s engines had taken damage limiting my maneuverability.
After managing to establish a target lock of my own, I returned fire. The shots were intended only to disable the vessel, however upon connecting, the ship exploded violently.
It was carrying antimatter bombs. That was the only reason I could think of for the explosion I just saw. Unfortunately, I was beginning to lose altitude and didn’t have time to worry about why the Harchen ship was carrying warheads nor the amount of radiation I had just been exposed to.
The engines were not doing well, however, as I fell down to the surface, I managed to flip my ship around and regain some amount of control.
The landing was not nearly as gentle as I would have hoped, however the hull stayed together and the inertial dampers absorbed the brunt of the impact.
I did a quick survey of the situation. Looking out of the viewport, it appeared I had crashed somewhere outside of any of the Kolshian cities, however I could also see that civilization was not far away.
Turning myself in to the Kolshians seemed like a very risky idea, and I also very much doubted that anyone sided with the humans would be allowed to come rescue me, so I figured my best bet was to try and repair my ship as best I could.
I made my way to the back of the ship and opened the doors to the outside world.
As the ramp extended down to the ground, I spotted a Venlil waiting for me at the bottom; or rather, something that looked like a Venlil.
“Q?” I said nervously.
“Don’t worry, I just want to talk. I promise I won’t bite. unless you ask nicely. ”
Apparently, Q had ditched his extermination officer attire and, for some reason, gotten his fur dyed. The fur on top of his head now had an odd purple streak running through it.
Cautiously, I walked down to the bottom of the ramp.
“Do you uh… do you know what just happened?” I asked.
“With the Harchen ship? Yeah, the federation managed to find some supporters among the Harchen fleet. They were going to sabotage the ceasefire by bombing Aafa on behalf of the UN. ‘Better the civilians die than fall to the predators’ and all.”
I took a moment to absorb this. I had thought that the federation couldn’t disappoint me anymore than they had already, and yet once again, they somehow found a way.
“You know, it’s funny,” I said. “I always wanted to visit Aafa. I mean, this place is beautiful, isn’t it?”
“For me, personally?” Q replied, “Not a huge fan. It’s too… artificial, reminds me of home. Actually, are you by any chance feeling adventurous?”
“I mean, I did just crash land after fighting in a space battle, so I would say so.”
“In that case,” he said, “my offer from before still stands.”
Q turned to face me and extended his paw.
I hesitated briefly, but then I took it and

2023.06.10 18:26 sweetmomentslikethis My journey from loving a Marie Sexton romance to never wanting to read another book from this author again
(This ended up being longer than I anticipated, but when I went back to find quotes there was just...so much more than I remembered there being. And I still ended up cutting out
a lot.)
A while ago, I read Trailer Trash by Marie Sexton and I loved it. It’s not a perfect book (I don’t want or need to read about homophobic violence for a story to feel “real” so it’s something I try to avoid), but it was perfect for me at the time I read it. I decided to search for other books by the author, and
One Man’s Trash immediately stood out to me. Trailer Trash, One Man’s Trash, it seemed like a good omen. And I really liked it! It was a lot more flawed, however. I found the characters and plot a little frustrating at times, but that’s normal with a more grown up kind of story. But I had some reservations, and what really pinged my “this might be some bullshit” radar was this particular section:
“But it’s just like being part of the LGBT ‘community.’” He made quotation marks with his fingers around the word. “They give a lot of lip service to ‘diversity’ and open-mindedness—and most of them follow through—but there’s always this little, loudmouthed subset telling you how to behave and what to say. It starts out ‘all for one, and one for all,’ but by the end, somebody’s drawing lines in the sand, telling you to choose a side. You can’t be gay or bi or trans if you don’t vote a certain way, act a certain way, follow some ridiculous set of rules. They all want you to be a round little peg in a round fucking hole. They want you to pick a box and a label so they know just where to put you, rather than accepting that we’re all separate, unique people, and that our stories are all valid, no matter whether we fit in the box or not.” He stopped, feeling himself headed into one of the rants that only Phil and Gray or Charlie would have understood. The confusion on Taylor’s face was the response he was accustomed to. He took one more stab at it. “There’s always that pissed-off minority who think their ‘rules’ outweigh your right to live your life.”
I initially brushed it aside. I mean, I’ve known a few people who like to rant about this topic who also have a lot more extreme opinions to go along with it, so it reminded me of those people and it didn’t endear me to the character, but I don’t need to like a character to like the story. As long as it feels real and not like a mouthpiece for the author, you know? But that’s what I found troubling about this kind of sermonizing. I wondered if the author was about to get ahead of herself and make a habit of yanking me out of the story to deliver these rants. Fortunately, it wasn’t an issue. I ended up giving the book a strong 3.5 stars, and I even went back and skim-read it a second time. I found myself intrigued by the rest of the friend group (the aforementioned Phil, Gray, and Charlie) so I decided to read their stories too.
Book 2 in the series, Terms of Service, was somewhat like the first. Good points, bad points, a little less polished than I’d like, but intriguing enough to keep me turning the page. For a while at least. Because – you guessed it – this time we get double the amount of ranting in the form of a crotchety senior citizen who’s taking his turn serving as the author’s mouthpiece. He really badly wants to tell us how people need to take responsibility for their medical bills, and all about the problem with medicine today. He’s a nonagenarian with dementia, but thankfully he’s sharp enough at this point in time to
really give us a sermon. One of the characters offers a token protest, but that’s just so the author can have an opportunity to rant some more.
“I’m not sure it’s that simple,” he said to Pops.
“Bah!” Pops gave another wave as if to send him on his way. “Of course it is. You get a doctor’s office on every corner instead of a Starbucks, suddenly they’d have to compete for our business. ‘Buy a pap smear, get a mammogram for free!’ That kind of thing. Suddenly, accepting a plate of cookies or a dozen fresh eggs as payment for a blood pressure check doesn’t seem so silly. But nobody talks about lowering the cost of procedures. All they talk about is premiums. Switching the burden of payment from the individual to the government
It’s paragraphs of this stuff, but you get the gist. I thought it was blessedly over, but nope, on the way home from their visit, his grandson (one of the MCs) has a fun childhood story for his love interest (would not blame you for skipping this part, but I found the tone so weird that I had to share the bulk of it):
“And then one day, Pops looks at my textbook and realizes I’m reading about the Cuban Missile Crisis. He takes the paper I’m writing on JFK, and he starts reading it, and he’s just shaking his head, saying, ‘no, no, no’”. Phil laughed. “I couldn’t believe it, because I knew the material. I’d read it twice! I knew I had everything right, and I told him so.
“So then he starts telling all the stuff that isn’t the text book. Like how JFK was under the care of the original Doctor Feelgood, who’d been in the White House that evening, giving Kennedy one of his famous ‘cocktails.’ Then they woke Kennedy in the middle of the night and hauled his ass into this emergency meeting about Russia putting nukes in Cuba. Pops had a book that contained a transcript of that meeting, and reading it, you can tell Kennedy’s so fucking high, he has no real idea what’s going on. At one point, he says something like, ‘Why would Russia do that? That’d be like us putting nukes in Turkey.’ And there’s a pause, and then one of the other people in the room says, ‘We did, sir.’”
They stopped at a red light, and it seemed to make Phil’s stream of words stop too, although this time, he was smiling. “It’s weird, because I’ve looked for that transcript more recently, and it doesn’t come up in a Google search. I mean, maybe twenty pages deep or something, but it’s buried. The only thing you’ll find is a transcript from the next morning, when he’s more with it.” He shook his head as the light turned green. “Anyway. Next thing I know, Pops is telling me all about JFK’s famous Camp David parties, just him, his political allies, Dr. Feelgood, and a few high-priced call girls. Pops talked for hours about how the lone gunman theory doesn’t make sense, how the Warren Report’s nothing but bullshit. At the time, it floored me. It was like this revelation, that history could be more interesting than just memorizing names and dates. That maybe there was stuff they didn’t want us to know.”
So he writes a report all about his grandpa's conspiracy theories and he gets an F. His mean overbearing father, who apparently is the villain of the story, made him write the report again. I mean, cool. It’s a story from his childhood, not much to see here. But the author doesn’t leave it alone. She really wants to hammer home her message:
“So, he’s kind of a conspiracy theorist?”
Phil practically rolled his eyes. “Have you ever considered how often we use that phrase to dismiss people simply because they disagree with us? I mean, Pops isn’t a moron. He knows the Earth is round. He doesn’t think the moon landing’s a hoax or anything. He reads constantly. He just has a few key things he can’t let go—”
“Like JFK?”
Phil nodded. “Like JFK. But really, he’s pretty reasonable. Now, wait until you meet Gray’s father. He’s a trip. He has two Ph.Ds. Probably the smartest, most intimidating guy I’ve ever met. And yet, he gets brushed off as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ because he questions the status quo.” He laughed. “I dare you to say those two words to his face.”
So deep.
I ended up DNF’ing this one, mostly because it was boring and I didn’t vibe with the couple, but I decided to try book 3 because that particular character had intrigued me the most so far.
I didn’t read the reviews beforehand. Why oh why didn’t I read the reviews beforehand? Because
what the fuck was that?
Gray is a cop. Ex-military. And he has a lot of opinions about ~
~social justice warriors~~. His love interest, Avery, is a younger man who spends a lot of time on Twitter and Tumblr and is every stereotype stuffed into one convenient straw man. Avery is a masochist and Gray is a sadist, so he's literally just there to get whipped and flogged while Gray rants about the
spooky mainstream media. He even takes away Gray’s phone, and he suffers withdrawal like a drug addict, then magically finds himself happier. I mean, sure, okay. We could all probably do with less scrolling. But then he gets his phone back and suddenly turns into a mean and vicious harpy who’s snapping at everyone. Because he’s
addicted to outrage, you see. And who doesn’t love an anvil falling from the sky?
If you want to get a feel for Gray, here are some words of wisdom from our Ben Shapiro-wannabe main character:
But the give-and-take, fact-based process of discussion and debate were lost on Avery. When Gray pointed out Avery’s argument resorted to the straw man fallacy, Avery only blinked at him in confusion. When Gray countered one of Avery’s points, Avery had no arguments. He had no logic. As soon as he was challenged, he resorted to name-calling. If Gray disagreed, he was automatically stupid or racist or mansplaining. Never mind that Avery couldn’t ever explain what about Gray’s point was wrong, or what part of it supposedly made him a racist.
I lost it at "He had no logic" fucking hell 😂 I was approaching cringe overload, but I obviously hate myself, because I just couldn’t look away from this gruesome wreck.
“You think you know everything that matters, and anybody who disagrees with you is ignorant or uneducated or a ‘fascist.’ But I’ve seen your tweets and your Tumblr posts and the ridiculous fucking memes you love so much. I’ve seen what you think qualifies as a rational argument, and I have to tell you, it’s neither rational, nor an argument. It’s nothing but self-righteous hot air.”
Hello, Marie? I didn’t realize this was a 3-way call. Kinda thought it was just gonna be me and the characters. It’s just, you’re butting in an awful lot. Can you hang up, please?
Apparently the answer is no, because she’s not done yet. Our main character conveniently meets a black woman who tells him she was shunned by her friends and family because she refused to vote for Hillary.
My husband and I, we talked about it, and we decided we were done voting for the lesser of two evils. My husband said that’s what got us into this mess, and he wasn’t doing it anymore. So we agreed to vote third party. And ever since then, my sister’s refused to speak to me except to attack me. Before that, my husband and I babysat their kids. We took them to Water World or the amusement park. But now she’s decided we’re both white supremacists in disguise. When that article came out online about how it’s okay to punch a Nazi, she sent it to me. She said, ‘Just so you know what to expect if you show up at Christmas.’”
Avery didn’t know what to say. It was absurd. Emily was one of the nicest people he’d ever met. How could anybody call her a Nazi?
FUCKING LOL. Are you kidding me right now? This author bypassed the sock puppet “as a black man” twitter account and just decided to write it into her book. Amazing. Why is this going on for chapter after chapter after chapter? Start a blog or something, I don’t caaaaare.
Robert spoke next, his voice so quiet, Avery barely heard him over the noise of the bar. “Try being a gay Republican.”
Ah, gay Republican, I was wondering if you’d make an appearance. I was expecting a lesbian in a wheelchair who’s all prepared to deliver her treatise against “cancel culture” but I guess you’ll do. So we have a a black woman and a gay man, I guess we're missing a Mexican Trump supporter. No worries, Gray's mother is here to save the day.
“You really voted for Trump?” he asked.
“I didn’t vote for him in the primaries,” she said without embarrassment. “I was horrified when he won. I thought about voting third party, but in the end, I sure didn’t want Hillary to win. So yeah, I voted for him.”
“But how could you?” Avery asked. “You’re a woman! Plus, you’re Latina.”
“I’m third-generation Mexican American. And yes, I’m female. You see those two things and think you know everything you need to know about me? But I suppose you think you’re not racist or sexist.”
It was said with a lightness that told him it more a jest than an accusation, but nevertheless, Avery’s cheeks began to burn.
“Go ahead,” Gray said. “Attack her. Call her a racist or a Nazi or a white supremacist.”
“Gray, stop!” Avery whispered, his cheeks burning hotter.
He also has a climate change-denier for a father, but this is getting long enough.
I just want to know what the author was thinking. Where was the common sense? Where was the self-awareness? Have your beliefs, that's your business, but
keep it your business. Why are you shoe-horning them into your romance and ambushing your readers with your shitty “both sides are equally good and bad, really” manifesto, with a cast of
literally unbelievable token characters, like that's a completely normal thing to do? That has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen someone do while simultaneously patting themselves on the back. And if her beef is with people who are chronically online, may I just point out that she's sitting at almost 56 THOUSAND tweets right now? So perhaps the call is coming from inside the house, idk.
Anyway, that was my rollercoaster journey with this particular author (is it still a rollercoaster when the lows vastly outnumber highs?) Maybe book 4 is magically tolerable, but I guess I'll never know 🤷🏽♀️

2023.06.10 18:04 paranormalguy86 Angelic Beings - Astral Encounters and Communication
Over the years I've had quite a few experiences involving what could be considered "Angels." These almost always took place in higher dimensions. During one experience, I was shifting out of my body and I remembered my intention to meet an angel. And suddenly I felt an intense feeling of motion, and I didn’t just float out of my body but I was blasted out of my body, like I was shot out of a cannon.
So I was flying at a tremendous speed, but I couldn’t see where I was going. But I trusted that my higher self was taking me to where I needed to go. And I began to feel something, like an energy that was getting closer and closer, I felt it in my heart chakra. And this energy got incredibly strong and suddenly I stopped moving, and I started to see what was around me.
And I was in this environment that was almost like I was inside of a nebula out in deep space. There were these bright colorful cloud-like formations everywhere, but I could feel this strong energy coming from them, like they weren’t just clouds but some kind of energetic substance. And then somehow my vision zoomed past these energy clouds and an entire expanse of stars came into view.
It seemed like I didn’t move but my consciousness was able to zoom into different locations, almost like a kind of remote viewing. So I was zooming through space, passing stars and planets. And I wasn’t sure where I was going and I wasn’t really in control either, it was more like I was just along for the ride.
And I zoomed into this planet that was actually similar to Earth only it was greener in color. And I’m getting closer and closer and I zoom into this one continent, and I’m getting closer to the ground, and it’s just forests and jungles for as far as I can see. And now I’m at ground level in this jungle, floating a few feet above the ground. And there are all these people there. They looked like humans and they were wearing clothes that reminded me of how indigenous people are depicted.
There must have been 15 or 20 of them, and I realized that they were standing in formation. It was like I had dual vision and I was nearly eye level with them but at the same time I had a view from above and I could see this formation through the trees. And I had an intuition that there was some kind of ritualistic or spiritual purpose for their formation.
So I started communicating with the guy closest to me, asking him questions. And it sounded like he was speaking a different language, but somehow I understood what it meant, like I absorbed the information directly despite the unfamiliar language that he was speaking. He said they were something like... spiritual warriors, and that they project their souls into lower realms to help people who are trapped there.
And as he was communicating this to me I was getting visual imagery corresponding to what he was saying. So I was actually seeing it. And suddenly I was in a lower realm with them, not just seeing it but I was actually there, and it was dark and gloomy place. And I saw these figures in the distance, and we approached them, and as we got closer I realized that they were people but they were hideous. And the energy I felt from them was really unsettling. Just deeply disturbing. Like a combination of every negative thought and emotion all together.
And these spiritual warriors were placing their hands on these people and transferring some kind of energy into them. I could actually see the energy flowing into these people. And suddenly I felt a hand touch my shoulder, and then a brief feeling of movement, and suddenly I was back in the energy nebula, exactly where I was before I zoomed into that planet And this being was right there in front of me. And I felt its energy and I realized that it was almost the same energy that I felt during my previous encounter with an angel. It radiated with this power and divinity.
And he said “this is God’s work.” And his voice was so massive it seemed like it boomed throughout the entire dimension. And during this interaction there was this energy that was building up inside of me coming from my root chakra. It started the moment I found myself back in then nebula. And it was seeping up my chakra circuit and getting stronger. And as this being spoke, his voice seemed to activate my energy even more. And I lost vision, and I was just buzzing with this blissful energy, and I phased back into my body.
This was a recap of one of many experiences with these entities. I left out some details so the post wouldn't be overly long. I share several other of my experiences with Angels in my newest episode of my podcast the Astral Dimensions, check it out if you're interested.

2023.06.10 17:57 estebandesoto Writing in RPGs
At its core, story happens when a character the audience cares about experiences an emotion.
This is something that a lot of beginning authors get wrong. They want to create a world like Harry Potter, or Star Wars, and then the story never goes anywhere because they're so focused on how cool the world is, and not focused on character emotions.
I read a game design article once that said something like "When players say a game has a great story, what they mean is that it has a story." And it's true. The bar for video games is pretty low. That said, part of the reason the SNES was so successful was that it had more story-driven games than any other console had ever had ever before.
So which SNES games have the best stories?
I said that story happens when a character we care about experiences an emotion. Well, in RPGs, this almost always means cutscene. Dialog boxes just don't carry much emotion. You can get a good estimate of how good a game's story is by looking at how emotional the cutscenes are.
Obvious conclusions we can make at this point: Secret of the Stars sucks, Lagoon sucks, Obitus sucks, Drakken sucks. All of these games are extremely light on cutscenes, and that indicates that there's pretty much no story.
In contrast, Final Fantasy 6 and Breath of Fire 2 have some of the best stories on the SNES: characters we care about lose their parents, they lose their lovers, they lose their children, they watch their hometowns be destroyed, they attempt suicide, they sacrifice themselves for the greater good, they try to put together the pieces of their lives and find meaning when everything has been lost. These games are as deep as games can be.
And this is an important point to make: good story does not equal good game. Breath of Fire 2 may have one of the best stories on the SNES, but has a terrible translation, it's tedious, and it's extremely difficult.
Likewise, you can have a good game without a good story.
Prepare your downvote buttons.
Chrono Trigger's story is not one of the best on the SNES. The game itself is really good: amazing music, good graphics, great gameplay mechanics. And parts of the story are strong, like pretty much everything about Frog. But a lot of the story is weak. Ok, sure, the characters know the world is about to be destroyed, and there's a certain amount of angst inherent in that, but that's part of almost every single RPG on the SNES. So what?
Lucca has one great character-defining scene, and it's optional. The only thing of any significance to happen in Crono's story is his death. Marle's story mostly boils down to her being a typical teenager. Robo's story falls flat--should we even expect an emotional story from a robot? Ayla's story is pretty bland compared to that of the Reptites--they're the technologically superior civilization defeated by primitives, and then driven to extinction. Magus is a fantastic villain, but we never really get to know him as a person beyond a vague sense that he loves his sister.
Frog is the only character in Chrono Trigger that gets a decent story. We see him lose pretty much everything. He has to live his life in a form that most people find frightening or disgusting. He lives in a literal swamp. The people decide they would rather have a child as their hero than him. And yet, in spite of it all, he never loses his values. He fights for a just cause, he honors his fallen friend, and Leene loves him in spite of his form. He even has to choose whether to take revenge, knowing that it won't actually fix anything.
For what it's worth, this doesn't make Chrono Trigger a bad game. It is beloved, and rightly so.
Likewise for Earthbound. Classic game, really cool setting, quirky sense of humor, good music ... but the characters get virtually no story. In fact, every one of the characters pretty much ceases to exist as a character as soon as they join your party. Paula is mildly interesting up until you rescue her, then she has, what? three lines of dialog in the rest of the game? About the same for Poo, and Jeff gets even less. We only get to know Ness by what other characters say about him.
Compare Earthbound to Breath of Fire 2. Both games have a silent protagonist. Ness seems to come from a happy home, and leaves on his adventure mostly just because Buzz Buzz tells him to.
By contrast, we get to see Ryu's childhood, we're introduced to how he lost his mother, and we actually see him lose his father and sister. We see him rejected by the people of his hometown. We see him make his first friend, and we see that those two orphans are setting out in the world because they've both lost their family and have no homes. Then we flash forward and see the events that shake up their normal lives and set them on the path of adventure.
Both Earthbound and Breath of Fire 2 have an introductory storyline for each character, but I feel like Breath of Fire 2 does it better. Earthbound usually lets us play as that character, whereas Breath of Fire 2 shows us cutscenes, so we get to see more emotions, both from the character being introduced, and the other characters reacting to them. For example, when Katt is introduced, we can see that she wants to be helpful, but isn't that bright, and Bow is worried she'll do more damage than she'll help fix, so he takes Ryu aside and asks him to keep Katt out of the way.
Comparing it to Earthbound, how does Paula feel about Jeff? How does Poo feel about Paula? We never know. These characters never interact with each other. Once they're in the party, they have nothing to say.
Breath of Fire 2 also gives most characters a second storyline after they've been introduced. Long after Katt's introduction, we have a second storyline to show her relationship with Tiga. Long after Nina's introduction, we have a second storyline to show her relationship with her family. Long after Sten's introduction, we have a second storyline to show why he left his home, and who he left behind. Earthbound gives us none of this.
And once again, this does not mean that Earthbound is a bad game. It's actually probably a better game than Breath of Fire 2. Breath of Fire 2 has major flaws, whereas Earthbound is an iconic classic that's much more fun to play ... and Chrono Trigger is even more so. Many of my favorite RPGs on the SNES have virtually no story, like Dungeon Master or Shiren. It doesn't make them bad games.
But I do think it's important to acknowledge the few SNES games that have beautiful writing and deep stories as well.

2023.06.10 17:57 lunarology 23 [F4A] - Georgia/Online - Seeing what’s out there ♡ Overwatchers?
Hey hey! Happy Pride Month Y’all! You can call me Neptune for now!
I’m looking for someone (any gender okay :]) to see where things go and hopefully form a long-term relationship! I’m not rushing anything at all but would love to form a connection. I’m 23 (she/her) years old and I just recently graduated college!
I’m a super affectionate person so you have to be okay with that! I would love to flirt with someone rn lol <3 I also do require a lot of attention or at least communication if you aren’t available, etc! I think it would be fun to find someone I could game with! I mainly play Overwatch, my absolute favorite rn so if you play I’d love to as well <3 hmu !!! Gives you 1000 extra brownie points LOL!! ik y’all out there <3 I also play Fortnite, and always open to trying other games! If you can carry me that’s a plus LOL jk…unless lol! I’m currently on PC but I do have an Xbox. I hope to stream more so would love to have a partner for that too <3 stream dates lol; maybe do duo streams (follow me on twitch lol). I’d like if we could move to Discord (only once we chat for a bit and see if we click), because I would also like to voice chat at some point! It would also be a plus if you can stream games to me while we chill (idk I just find that so cute lol)! Anyways just really want a gamer boy!
I’m an Aquarius and personality type INFJ. I’m chubby (tummy and rolls so), black, and stand at 5’2! I love Marvel, Transformers, Star Wars. I love to collect crystals, Funko pops, and keychains! I also love to collect plushies lol and love music from like The Weeknd or Mystery Skulls. I have a link in my bio with all my interests! I’m open to sharing face pics if you send one as well. While I’m very big on personality, I think attraction is important.
I’m in the states and my time zone is EST or GMT-4 just so you know cause I know they can sometimes interfere.
If you live in my state (the better!!), I would love to go on cute dates or hang out, but I’m open to a LDR for the right person! However, only if the goal is for us to be together in irl eventually.
I would prefer people around my age so 21+ (25 max). If you’re interested at all send me a dm with an introduction about you (name, face pic, age, pronouns, interests; just show effort in your message please). I’ll ignore low effort messages lol.
Just don’t be racist, homophobic/transphobic, ableist, etc! No right wing/conservatives/republican people. I lean left. You get the gist of it! Very LGBTQ+ friendly as I identify as a member lol!
Partner wise: just looking for someone who can effectively communicate and is emotionally available as well as having mutual attraction lol. Someone with similar interests is a huge priority! Gamers to the front lol.
Anyways don’t be afraid to hmu :)c would love to spend time with and get to know you!
Please show effort in your message and have similar interests if you message me! If I take a bit to answer your dm it just means I may have a few to go through!
