ahahaha wouldn’t it be funny if I sent in a request for Mara asking for all of the questions to be answer, - [|87

oh boy this is gonna be a long one :,)

What is your character's reaction to a minor inconvenience? Such as getting their jumper caught on a door handle?

He'd probably frown a little and just continue on with his day. nothing too dramatic

Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other?

he loves hot chocolate!! with marshmallows!!

What does their safe space look like?

just anywhere that can also be a good hiding place.. preferably with a friend or something so he's safe and not alone.

What do they consider to be an unforgivable action? Why?

He's generally very forgiving so its hard to think of anything.. he'd have a hard time forgiving anyone who puts his friends in danger,, but unless they try to kill him or something he's fine..

Do they have any nicknames or pet names or other aliases?

not really,, his name is pretty short so there's no need for a nickname (maybe dollboy would give him a special name sign? but that's all i can think of)

What kind of books comfort them? What books help them heal after a hard day?

he likes books about animals/bugs! (especially the ones with pictures) but after a stressful day he just likes to read children's stories,,,,

Are they a naturally assertive person or are they painfully shy?

he's quiet but i wouldn't say he's overly shy,, though he is more on the shy side of the spectrum.

Do they consider themselves a friendly person or aloof?

he thinks he's friendly! he understands why some people would think he's kind of aloof though..

What is your character's trigger point? What makes them angry, sad or makes them go off?

if he believes that he has nothing to lose then he will go apeshit. take that as you will.

What kind of jokes make them laugh?

he really likes stupidly put together jokes, that are actually kind of clever (so.. puns..)

Do they enjoy pranks or do they hate them? Are they likely to fall for a prank?

he would definitely fall for a prank, he doesnt mind them as long as they arent too dangerous.

Are they an overall healthy person? Do they make for a good patient or a terror?

He would be a great patient if he didn't ask so many damn questions (help him,, he just wants to be a nurse,,) an he's pretty healthy!! well.. as healthy as you can be while living in the pale city..

Describe your character's typical wardrobe for the regular day.

he wears the same thing every day.. stinky.. but he really likes his scarf and coat,,, he has nothing under the coat (save for some shorts) so he much prefers to have it on,, even if its a little warm,,

Are they a simple person to please or difficult?

simple, just be nice to him and he will never leave (unless you want him to).

What is the first thing people notice about them?

mmm. short.

What do they look for in a friend? A love interest?

Doll just someone nice,, he'd like to be friends with someone that he doesnt have to worry about all the time bc he,, hes so nervous most of the time anyway,, he needs a break,,

Who are they soft for? Do they find being soft easy or difficult?

hes pretty much the same towards everyone,, he might be a little more affectionate towards his friends but it just comes naturally to him.. its not something he thinks about.

Describe your character through a Brooklyn 99 gif or line.

“I only have one dream a year, always on tax day. In it, I must file an extension. So, yes, it is best not to have dreams.”

- Captain Raymond Jacob Holt, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’.

he eats when he finds food.

What is your character's favourite food and who cooks it best?

he likes french fries!! he steals a few from a fast food chef,,

What are your character's special skills?

hes really good at problem solving!!

What are somethings they find difficult to do? Or say?

sometimes he has some difficulty telling his thoughts out loud.. he's not the best with words so he just has a hard time.

Are they an animal person? Do they have pets?

he loves animals!! they don't love him though :,( so no pets.

What are their opinions on children? Do they view children as sweet angels or evil crotch goblins?

hes neutral.

If your character was in today's world, what social media platforms would they avoid? Or be prominent on?

he probably wouldnt have any, he doesnt really care about that stuff

Are they an organized person? Or more laissez-faire?

hes pretty organized.

Do they dwell better in chaotic situations or more linear situations?

hes a quick thinker but without the chaos, he tends to overthink things.

Your character has been invited to a masquerade ball. What mask do they wear?

hmm,, something simple.. nothing too fancy or expensive bc hes not the biggest fan of parties

Your character is having a prom night/debs. What kind of outfit do they wear?

just a simple suit,, maybe with a funky bowtie!!

How do they act around people they don't know? Are they shy around strangers or dismissive of them?

hes a little shy, but hes also very curious!! hes mostly quiet,, just listening,,

Can your character drive? If so, what kind of driver are they? If not what's their preferred manner of transport?

no. hes a child. he walks. he did find a skateboard one time!! it was hard to actually travel on it because hes so small.. but it was still fun!!

What attracts your character to another person? What kind of person do they do for?

someone he trusts and that he can be buds with,,

Tell us something about your OC that doesn't make it onto the page?

he hums the happy birthday song when he's just hanging around!!

Your character has been kidnapped. Who has kidnapped them and how do they escape?

Probably the jantor,, mara would totally freak out (and play dead for a few minutes) while he thinks of a plan to escape.

How does your character unwind after a long day?

sleep.

What's your character's guilty pleasure?

i don't think he has any,, he just does what he does,,

Your character's friend has just been mugged. What's their reaction?

he'd probably decide what to do depending on what was taken,, for most things he'd try to console his friend but wouldn't want to go after the thief or anything.

Your character has been punched into the face. What's their reaction?

it might take him a second to realize what happened, but after he comes back to his senses he'd stay away from the person and try to get them to calm down.

Does your character celebrate their birthday? If not, why?

He'd like to!! he just doesn't know when it is..

What is the DND alignment?

Neutral Good.

Hogwarts House?

Ravenclaw.

Star Sign?

he's unaware of it but he's a virgo.

Does your character believe in anything? Religion? Superstition?

He doesn't believe in anything like that (he doesn't exactly know about that stuff?).. he might knock on wood or something just because he's seen people do that before.

What is your character's reaction when someone does something nice for them?

pretty quiet,, might blush a little because 'oh!!' he'd be very nice and definitely plan to repay the person in the future.

Is your character easy to make cry? Or angry? Or annoyed?

Not at all, he's usually pretty calm. He's quite easy to frighten though,,

What is your character's biggest fear? Most irrational?

hes so afraid of losing things.. he has very bad attachment issues please do not take his things or leave him

How does your sleep at night? Are they a heavy or light sleeper? Do they dream or have nightmares? Do they find it easy to sleep or are they more a night owl?

he doesnt really have dreams? but he's a heavy sleeper all the way,, he's aware of it though and it scares him so he doesnt sleep too often,, and he only lets himself sleep in places that he knows are safe.

#mara is just a little man....#ln oc #ln2 oc #my oc #im not. proofreading this.

i read your recent fic, wrote up a big thing and then ao3 wouldnt let me comment so here you go: p1) you are truly doing what is needed for the good of this fandom. i've scene some gender bend abed but never hijabi (which is a nice touch for diversity i think

p2) i particularly like the line jess has in reponce to psych of gender changing brittons life ("not noticably" LMAO ROAST HIM) bc its clearly paralleling how britta called jeff out in canon but is still very in character for jeff/jess and their sarcastic methods. . i liked shermon a lot. you did a good job of maintaining shirley religiousity but at the right level (slightly old fashioned and annoying but well intentioned)

p3) i liked shermon a lot. you did a good job of maintaining shirley religiousity but at the right level (slightly old fashioned and annoying but well intentioned) when i think often time male religious characters end up being more intense in a way that seems very bigoted and kinda villainous. It would have made me sad to shirley get that character treatment, so im glad you didnt

p4) troy-tory's perspective in this was really nice. often trobed is done from abeds POV so i like the switch. The way you maintained troys internalized homophobia was really well done, especially how you also maintained troys more """masculine"" traits (like his athleticism). the line at the begining about how pitching in softball is "the straight position" kinda made me laugh a little, but i also really felt for tory bending over backwards to maintain her heterosexual persona.

p5) a small detail but one of my faves. and the little arc about tory's hair was fun ! I like the idea of gender bend troy with box braids alot

Oh man, this is such a lovely comment! I want to reply to a bunch of different things and I can already tell it’s going to get rambly so I’m going to put it under a cut:

Yeah so in general I have a lot of Thoughts and Opinions on religion and how religion is treated in fiction. I think in a lot of fanfic, religious tends to be pretty black and white--people are either A) Super Religious or Not Religious, and then either B) Good or Bad. And I think in canon Shirley doesn’t fall into those categories. She definitely makes homophobic and antisemitic statements, but she still genuinely loves her friends and is overall kind, and I think her kindness is more of an essential character trait than her bigotry.

also, w/r/t to hijabi Abed--I’m Jewish and I think a lot of nonreligious or Christian people kind of assume that people who aren’t super religious about Judaism don’t participate in the religion at all aside from maybe Hanukkah (cough like Annie in the show cough) and that’s often not true! for people in minority religions in the US, culture and religion are intertwined and it’s very common for people to keep some customs--like, maybe you don’t eat kosher all the way, but you do abstain from pork, maybe you don’t go to synagogue services but you do light candles at home, etc. And I think Abed does the same thing. Is he devout enough to pray five times a day and abstain from all alcohol all the time and only eat meat that’s been halal slaughtered? Probably not. But in canon he doesn’t drink frequently, and I think a genderbent Abed would see wearing a hijab as something that’s (relatively) low effort and high reward in terms of making her feel connected to her heritage without requiring a lot of time or effort or making her stop doing something she loves.

maybe my high school was weird this way, but the whole “male athletes and female cheerleaders are the popular ones” stereotype was really not a thing? I mean, I also don’t think there was one way to be popular in my school, but to the extent there was a “popular” group, it was athletes as a whole. the prom queen and homecoming queen my senior year of high school were a basketball player and a soccer player, respectively, and yeah, I think sports fits Troy’s personality better than cheerleading even if we are swapping genders.

I had a friend in college who mostly wore her hair short like Troy’s but would get box braids done for special occasions and usually kept them in for a while afterwards, so that was the inspiration for that moment--in general, I got my headcanon favorite hairstyle for lady Troy from watching Van in Atlanta (1, 2). Hair texture isn’t quite the same but still, she always looks cute as hell.

not to be that person who asks a googleable question but wtf is hazbin hotel bc i googled it and the only “critical” thing i could find was a typo-ridden article of someone saying it has good animation and its haters are stupid. i was able to glean what it is/what it’s about but idk about the discourse lmao

Im actually so glad u asked this. Here's the lowdown, this is my definitive answer to hazbin shit from here on out, unless new info comes about of course.

Hazbin hotel is an independent cartoon by vivziepop. Most people (that ive seen) have agreed that the pilot of the show really isnt that great but the reason it has so many fans is bc of the entertaining livestreams, massive amounts of canon content produced (she has had these characters for years), unique art style, and the characters. (Ass ugly but unique.)

Its haters are totally justified bc of some of the "controversial" (read: bad) things vivziepop has done. Here's the conclusion that my friends and classmates (several of whom are Black, one Hispanic woman, and one trans woman...nellie if ur reading this i 💜 u) and i came to after discussing this stuff. I am NOT saying "well my black/trans friend said it's ok so i dont have to think about it!" this is based on a few different conversations that my friends and i have had about this topic so what im saying is that my opinion was formed by talking about this situation with multiple people affected by the controversy.

One controversial thing is a drawing u can easily find on google (called beastiality.jpg i believe?) It's a cropped (chest and up, but hes obv naked) drawing of vivziepops character, drawn by vivziepop, moaning, with a snake around him. The character is 17. Many people have interpreted this as child porn. I dont think this image is pornographic, i think it's a stupid joke (it was even tagged as a joke iirc) and completely inappropriate but since it's 8 years old on top of not being porn, i think it's just an example of a dumb drawing. That being said, i would NEVER argue that someone who is uncomfortable w the drawing (im uncomfortable with it! It's gross just not porn) or considers it porn is wrong. They are entitled to that opinion and i would never expose them to vivziepops work or talk about her stuff around them if they expressed to me that they disliked the image.

Another thing is that she drew a doodle of two racist TERFs. This is the one where my friends of color, my friends who are black, and my friends who are trans women took the lead. I sat back for this part and here's their and my opinion on this after talking about it and verbally going through this whole situation.

She was following these women (who had done blackface and stuff) and drew art of them. The art was a "quick doodle" that she did apologize for and she said she didn't realize the extent of their beliefs. She knew they werent great but hadnt consumed much of their content in depth. I believe her bc while ive never followed anyone as bad, ive certainly followed some pieces of shit and didnt notice for months simply bc im not online all the time and bc of the volume of people i follow, combined with the non chronological algorithms lately.

At the risk of screwing myself, im going to admit that there was about a year or so of my life where i enjoyed The Amazing Atheist. I was even subbed to him. I was a nonbinary lesbian (2 things he cant stand lmaoo) in catholic school and therefore i strictly watched his videos about theological stuff since thats what was frustrating me at the time. I had no clue the type of evil racist, transphobic, homophobic (yes ik hes bi), misogynistic things he thought, said, and did, bc i didnt watch those videos. I literally only watched select theological ones that could be of use to me while edgily debating my teachers (sorry mrs macdougal but u had it coming). I was about 15 at the time and im 19 now. Im sorry to everyone i hurt by ever having supported him. I had one of his quotes written in the inside of my religion notebook in high school. I regretted it and ripped the page out the moment i discovered the truth about him. I cant stress enough how much I HATE HIM. Thats an example of what i think happened here tho.

One of my friends who is a trans woman said (paraphrasing) "i think the worst thing shes done is that terf art but i believe the apology especially bc it was a quick drawing."

That being said, i would NEVER argue with someone who wanted nothing to do w vivziepop bc of this. That's their right. 100%. I would never expose them to her work after that.

The last thing i remember is something about a pedophilic couple in a comic but i heard it was a 17 year old and a 19 year old. Im 19 and if one of my peers did that i wouldnt say pedophile but id say ur a fucking weirdo, BUT, the kids were fake and being written by an adult so i can totally see her thinking that age gap is much less of a big deal than it really is. Like she forgot what it's like at this age. Idk how true any of that part is tho, i heard that info entirely secondhand.

Another thing to do with racism is that there's a joke within the show where one character says to the other

"don't get your taco in a twist"

"Was that supposed to be racist or sexist?"

"Whichever one pisses you off more"

I thought that was gross but one of my friends pointed out that vivziepop is of el salvadorian descent so that's her business. Like if i made a lesbian joke of equal or greater offensiveness than that and someone tried to call me lesbophobic over it id be like "that's literally my territory."

Oh speaking of which that character's name is vaggie and shes a lesbian but it's not pronounced w the same G you'd hear in "vagina." Vivziepop seems to name characters weirdly (like how in helluva boss theres a guy named blitzo and the o is silent) so maybe it's a pussy joke but i have no idea.

The animation was.................better than i could do, i wanna say the faces and gestures were good but god i remember there was a part with a car and my gf had to pause so i could laugh my ass off at it. I wouldn't describe the animation as a highlight but i liked the style in motion i thought it was a fun change. Vivziepops style is not appealing imo but i appreciate it as an art student and as someone whose friends all like she ra and steven universe where every character looks the goddamn motherfucking same, and while its chaotic and i dont care for it, the style actually works way better in motion than you'd think.

A good rule that i def use is to assume hazbin fans are guilty until proven innocent. If someone says they dont care about the discourse surrounding it and like it no matter what, RUN! They would support the show even if the creator was in fact a pedophile, or had done the blackface/was a terf herself! They probably support some horrible ppl and are probably "anti antis." A lot of them are minors tho so i'd say block and move on.

So, do i like it or not? Im an art student and all my friends like it so while i didnt think it was funny, i do fuck with it. At the convention this weekend my friends and i had a convo that led to me drawing an ahego hoodie where the faces were angel dust (a character's) face. It was a joke that i could make a killing by selling that in a booth at a con.

Theres really nothing compelling about the show but my friends like it so i join in on their conversations, and i do have a soft spot for angel dust bc he's like a worse, less amazing and gorgeous version of one of my characters, Candy, the love of my life.

A lot of people say the show was edgy/offensive and maybe im just desensitized but besides the taco thing i didnt pick up on that whatsoever??? The Archer episode "Swiss Miss" is worse than helluva boss and hazbin combined and even archer isn't offensive.

Im probably not aware of all the "discourse" (aka people being reasonably uncomfortable by weird and bad shit this random woman has done, and other ppl saying their opinions are wrong when it's literally just an opinion about a show) so if anything she's done isnt included in here it's not to defend vivziepop, this is genuinely all i know. I wouldnt describe myself as a fan of hers.

why not next talk about my trip to the psych ward

This is also a long story, and a fun one!

So skipping to the hospital:

I was locked in a fucking room, and the lady was like “you need to take off all your clothes and put on the gown.

Well bitch, I’m still having a panic attack and I’m not just gonna get naked. So like, it took a while but eventually after threatening to get security (who was literally just some old dude, so YUCK. Even though I could have easily broken him I didn’t want more cops because I fucking hate police) I managed to get the gown on. It was BULLSHIT too because they were like “oh yea its so you arent hiding any sharp objects” like BITCH YOU METAL DETECTS AND FRISKED ME BEFORE I ENTERED and in ADDITION I can easily hide shit in this gown you dumbass” so that pissed me off. So then like, I had to pee like 20 times that night, each time I had to be escorted by a guy who looked a lot like my friend Glenn from when I worked at DOminos pizza. So then like, I watched the Home Shopping network, which I ADAMANTLY referred to as “the history and science network” and corrected anyone that asked what I was watching. so then ya know, they took my blood, I saw Jesus because she missed the vein and sucked out my actual power levels (which I’m SURE was the point, to weaken me) and I was being a little ham, making jokes, etc. Anyways, my dad was there the whole time and it was annoying because I hate him and he wouldnt leave. SO then like, this WEIRD dude would come in and be like “hey so what we doin” and I’d say “thats YOUR job cowboy” and shoo him away. idk I was nuts.

So cowboy comes back in and is like “alright the paramedics are on their way” and then these 2 dudes come in. And let me tell you, this part SUCKED. I had to pee AGAIN, but they strapped me into the bed with wheels and took me into the truck. I fell asleep in the struck and had a huge boner because I had to pee (don’t ask because idk) so it was weird. But then I GOT to the second hospital and let me tell you this is where shit went down:

I get airlocked in, and this BIG dude who I SWEAR claimed he wanted to be called Santa Claus comes out from “The Island” and is like “alright here’s your room” and I finally got to piss. But I needed a door, so....

Theres these like, weird “painting” things that we used as doors for the bathrooms. We couldnt have real doors because we were dangerous suicide kids. So like, I didnt KNOW this though, I thought it was just a bathroom painting. I was fully ready to rip this fucking painting off the wall, and use it as a door. Thankfully, that’s what it was for. So I pee, go get my vitals taken by Bry(i?)an. Then, I get to order breakfast WHICH NEVER CAME BY THE WAY FUCK YOU SANTA. and the rest of my meals. I ordered light because I had no idea how this shit worked. Everyone was like “that’s all you want/?” like IDK HOW SHIT WORKS FOOL???

So heres a quick rundown of my experience:

The other kids were all younger, there was only like, maybe 2-3 other kids my age the whole time and I was there for like 5 days.

One kid turned 18 while he was there, so he just left.

Some of the kids seemed to just LIVE there, which was a terrifying thought

every night we could watch movies, and we had a fucking blast with ratatouille.

The staff, for some reason, did NOT like it when we would get along. Like obviously they didnt want us to fight, but they were kinda pissy when we would be friendly and talk.

You couldnt exchange contact info or touch anyone, like, no high fives (not even to staff) or anything.

Now for the people, or the characters, since they can’t be real, I don’t believe they exist and I fucking MET them:

Garion “Big Papa” (who was literally like, fuckin, 12? idk): Garion was the FIRST person I met when I got there. I sat next to him at Spiritual Session (watered down religion) and he kept saying shit like “You’re handsome, you’re gonna be mine” like a fucking prisoner claiming me as his bitch. Made me super uncomfortable and feel safe at the same time. Has quotes such as: “It’s over ashy legs, you’ll be my slave!” and “PREPARE FOR EL DRAGON!”

Eric: First thing I heard him say was “I ain’t tryna BE here” in a deep voice. From then on, he was a regular kid. Idk what the fuck was up with that

I forgot his name but he’s the one Garion called “Ashy Legs”: Kid was like, WHITE, like his skin was SO pale, but insisted his dad was black and he was black, therefore could say the N word. None of us cared enough to dispute it, and he was known for being aggressive so especially no reason to dispute it. Liked anime and video games though, was kinda cool I guess.

Jordan: idk she would never eat with us in the “dining hall” which was just the common room. Probably had some anxiety shit going on.

Little african american girl I forgot her name: Hated Blaze, that’s all I can really say about her. She seemed normal idk why she was there. She’d been there the whole time I was there, and I stayed like, the maximum average so.....

Blaze: dude this kid was NUTS. he was like, 12, first night in he SCREAMED and woke everyone the fuck up because he wouldnt like, calm the fuck down idk. No one would explain it that next morning. He was SO insufferable. Like, idk what his issues were but just as a person he was whiny and obnoxious. Like everyone else there was fucked up somehow and could hold a conversation or at least shut the fuck up. I get it I’m not being nice, but he arrived on the night of day 1 and was an ass the whole time, so I don’t really care. You try living with this kid for 4 fucking days in a locked up psych ward.

THIS ONE TINY KID THAT WAS SO INTENSE: Ok so when I talk about the Psych Ward I usually forget him because he was so small, but this kid like, would NOT talk, and SHIT himself constantly. He was SO small but was clearly like, a bit older. Younger than Garion and them but still not like, a baby idk. I’d say maybe 7??? Anyways, he would shit like, everywhere, and would rarely be let out of his room to do things. I rarely saw him thankfully because he would just, shit, everywhere.

everyone else was normal. A lot of people were only there for like, a day or so

I also got credit for going to school, and all I had to do was some EASY like, 1st grade level shit. It was a breeze.

The food was good, like, REALLY good.

I also really fell into my depression at times though, and really got into my whole “not having a good mom” thing. Like my mom is better than some out there, but both my parents are just in general shit, like actually. If you’d heard about them like my like, close friends have and heard shit directly from them you’d get it. Anyways, there were a lot of female nurses and I just got reminded how shitty my mom was. I almost asked one of the nurses to sing to me at night, but that would have been weird so I didn’t (like, REALLY weird)

So yea I mean there was a LOT of stuff, and I can always post updates as I remember and care. I wrote it all down in discord somewhere when it happened, but it was like 5 full days. Later I’ll write down everything I saw on the way back, when I forgot my school supplies because my retard dad brought them

a story of hurt co-workers and instant karma

fair tw: discrimination, homophobia

I used to work at a gas station a few months ago. My wife also worked in the same gas station. Obviously, we’re both lesbians and very proud about it.

Our management at this stupid place was HORRIBLE. When our hiring manager, who was hella awesome, quit, then we got a replacement, then he quit and came in this one dude. Oh boy, where do I start.

First off, he was trying to get rid of me and my co-workers by treating us all terribly. He cut our pay (even though we all were supposed to get paid overtime, do note that my wife and I as well as our other co-workers usually worked over 10 hours (around 12-15 at max)) and started to hire in his friends. Yes, his friends. He also made his friends his assistant managers without the proper training. Did I mention they also slept on the job? Anyway…

After I found out that we were being treated this way, I put in my two weeks. No one there other than my wife and co-workers took my severe anxiety and disability seriously. Instead, I was not allowed to have a chair to sit at while I was working the front because “corporate would think we were stealing money”. Which how they thought that is fucking above me. I was also made fun of by the new manager (imma call him J from this point on) for needing to take off certain days for my depression therapy and physical therapy appointments for my disability. I called off on my last day and he proceeded to harass me via text and told me that I WOULD HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE TO WORK MY SHIFT FOR ME EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT MY JOB TO DO SO. I told him that’s not my job and he argued with me on this. To that I said “I quit sorry.” and all he said was “that’s fine!”

Obvious fucking jerkass right?

well it doesn’t fucking end there.

My wife was still working there even though I warned her about this fucking jackass. I understand why and I did all I could to help her through this shit. She was starting to receive the other hand of his abuse. He would over work her (around 12 hours, she was only 19 and could not sell alcohol to which he made fun of her for it) to the point where her hair would fall out from panic attacks, anxiety and stress. Speaking of my wife’s anxiety, he also does not fucking grasp the concept of it. There was a time where she was having a panic attack and he came in and basically told her “you have no reason to be upset” even though she was overwhelmed by the crowds of people. She shouldn’t have been working second shift. Ever. I would’ve taken over second shift in a heartbeat just so she wouldnt have to.

So he of course was abusing his authority over her by overworking her, making fun of her anxiety, and… yeah.

So my wife calls me up one day and she’s sobbing hard on the line having an anxiety attack. My protective ass rushes up to the fucking gas station and I basically grab her and I’m like, “cmon this is ridiculous” and left.

Fast forward to this present day. My wife went back to that store because her previous job wasn’t paying enough. The store is under new management so J wasn’t there anymore when she started.

She finds out that uh… heh…. J was laundering money and staling from the store. He also lied about his age saying he was over 21 when he was actually 19. He was caught stealing from the store, and also tried to ruin one of our co-workers marriage.

She also found out, TODAY, that the reason J hated us and wanted to fire us was because we were gay and married. He was a catholic who thinks we are unholy people who are out to ruin his religion.

So what did corporate do? Not only fire his worthless ass, but also fire his district manager for allowing him to treat us in this fashion and obviously discriminate against us. He is now unable to get a job because of this on his permanent employee record. He also may have felony charges for laundering money from the store.

Take that mother fucker. Karma’s a bitch.

yallnve realized by now that this is a fulltime 100% narnia blog...and as i havent slept since finding out someone somewhere was set on making "the silver chair" into a movie & the dynamic world of narnalysis is the best i can offer,

first of all im like.........ya rly gonna just jump into the silv chair!! im not really interested w the details on what anyone plans to do with the content b/c i donno, ive never been really interested in the book. not because its like bad or anything, actually it's probably the most cinematic in terms of things actually happening at a steady rate. i just like what i like, maybe because its sort of lower scale? whatever. its not like its hard to make into a movie i dont think, is what im saying. that would be either the horse and his boy or prince caspian, probably the latter b/c like a genuine 1/3 of it is an expository flashback. but all of the books are bit tricky to adapt coz theyre just short, you have to pad basically all of them in some way or another. but sure. silver chair. w/e

the thing is that you Have to assume despite starting afresh that theyre doing this one since the first three books have been recently filmed? and this being the fourth. but How Are You Going To Just Jump Into This One. thats an awful lot of exposition thats being built on, at this point in the game we're neck deep in the Lore. you'd really just have to have read the previous books or at least seen the movies. are they counting on the audience to have done that? but at the same time its really not fair to fully rely on that. in the book you can go "read the other books" and wave it off in a sentence of "and then they explained it all" which does tend to happen in the actual text a fair amt. its a bit awkward in movie form though? its a plot point right off that eustace knows who prince/king caspian is. so then you have to sum up dawn treader. and that has to do with what happened in prince caspian, in which the plot of lww is pretty important. like, alright, possibly you could just explain tvotdt & take it from the perspective of the girl who doesnt know crap about narnia yet? but thats not nearly as good a starting point as lww. on account of that ones meant to be a starting point! i'll see scholastic / any publishings that try to push magician's nephew as the first book In Hell, frankly. strongest narnpinion right there. the published order over the chronological order

anyways i'm sure it can be figured out, its just.......Interesting to think how the silver chair intro might be made into Intro To Narnia v.2.0? will they even try or will it be "ok but seriously just have read the books or whatever before you come in here." mystery unfolds

another thing thats interesting is that lww is clearly abt like, hey kids here's a version of the resurrection for you. whereas silver chair doesnt have anything to do w any Biblical Events at all (tho of course neither does prince caspian, tvotdt, or the horse & his boy). it is instead about how atheists will try to steal your firstborns for.................reasons. (no reason, theyre just evil.) this one is just a major amplified version of another particularly ridiculous CS Lewis Apologism Favorite that runs through the books: that when it comes to having no Faith (in aslan but you know also the abrahamic god) everyone who doubts aslan/god is like, actively lying to themselves, because they have that Gut Feeling telling themself that their faith is not only whats righteous but also whats true. the gut feeling of truth is a big theme in the books, shit hinges on it all the time and makes doubt all Clearly Sinful instead of a reasonable result of aslan effing off for centuries or whatever. and speaking of, god only knows if lewis is really suggesting that real life doubt or nonreligiousness is 100% populated by people who are clenching their fists like "i know in my heart jesus is real but i dont want to believe it so i won't, damnit!" which yknow makes no sense for like....life, and uh? i dont know what its supposed to mean for like....other religions? i dont think he's about putting the nuance that not every concept of religious Faith is the same as in christianity into this book, i dunno abt his thoughts irl. lord knows its a mystery how he thinks that "if jesus wasnt lying and jesus wasnt Insane then christianity is real" argument means anything. nothing in the world fits that argument for finding out if something is true or not........and also it hinges on that concept of "insanity" which......like.......i'm sure is all about nice 1940s ideas of how "insane" people act. its shit, throw it out, i mean. and besides? as though theres a Logic argument to prove christianity as truth? have you just Solved religion, lewis? have you? sometimes, i swear..

anyhow so in the silver chair its just a big ol festival of his "atheists are lying to themselves" and "atheism starts by someone who Knows The Truth (jesus is real) lying to others, likely aka the devil or whatever, and the stand-in for the devil is a witch again." and lewis really seems fond of the allegory of the cave. smh! like, in that allegory "knowing" that your faith is true is impossible! but youre also out here arguing its logically provable? and don't forget the gut feelings thing. but it makes NO sense for him to drop it into this book universe because in this allegory the prince captured by atheists & the protags are people who have hopped into the cave and seen the sun and shit!! they dont need to be the people who have only ever seen shadows who need to be convinced that an outside world can exist!!! bitch!!! get your allegory in order. silver chair just.....lord. the lying babysnatching atheists

a n y w a y s . . . thats a weird conflict to put in your third act, and its also a weird argument to make re christianity, that even though you acknowledge its impossible to know that your faith is in something thats real, you're willing to risk it? its sort of like that idea that you might as well be religious even if you dont "believe" any religion is true, because you lose nothing and potentially gain both comfort in life and reward in an afterlife. but its kind of a big deal in christianity that you're supposed to believe that what you believe in Is Literally Real. maybe apologists are allowed to do that sort of thing in their arguments, i suppose. its like in the last battle where he has a dude who believes in another deity accepted into the christian afterlife b/c despite a lack of belief, his virtuous nature is, from a practical standpoint, accepted to be for all intents and purposes to be equivalent to having believed in the christian god, like if he happened to follow all other rules except the Believing In Jesus one then he's good to go anyhow. interesting in that its also supposed to be pretty vital in christianity that one has to accept jesus as god in order to be Saved all up into heaven! i suppose that guy in the book was meant to have been converted right before death or whatever. at that point its very unclear who is exactly dead or not, but probably everyone. still, aslan clearly makes the argument that "basically you might as well have been believing in me, so you're good to go." fascinating stuff. another one to ask lewis abt

uhhhh another point is that i think theyre intending to make other movies also? but not all four remaining ones!! and if i had to guess which one they'd be leaving out uhh lets say....the horse & his boy....................which conveniently is the other sort of sparsely plotted one. two kids ride horses towards narnia, briefly have to have a shenanigansy undercover sneak through a crowded city, ride towards narnia some more, and then one of them stays at some guys house while the other kid goes into narnian battle where he himself doesnt actually do anything, but that fact is described pretty funnily. its still sort of a fun one, on account of the sneaking around hijinx, and the fact that it happens to give ANY of the details of what tf the pevensies did for like the twenty years they reigned over narnia's golden age which the lww just tells you absolutely n o t h i n g about! the answer is: a lot of battling probably, on account of narnia went from being ruled for a century by someone who could kill you in a second and also why would you have invaded narnia at that time, it wouldve been like trying to invade russia. but then a bunch of kids took the throne and upended the whole system and the snow went away, it seems like a destabilizey time to invade or whatever. imo. but then again they mightve bought themselves a few years on account of aslan having shown up and all. but lbr, they were just put into battle right off and coronated three seconds later, theres no reason on that front that they wouldnt shy away from having more battles. and the books said there were a lot of battles. and in thahb, its like, well we've been battling a lot lately and now we're in shenanigans and we'll just have to battle our way out of it, which they absolutely do. edmund straight up decapitates a guy. how ARE they supposed to just transition immediately into english schoolchildren after a couple decades of that mess??? they even have the fancy courtly speech. its magic i suppose

the point is its kind of a fun book, oh also, aslan is TOP shenanigans in this one. he straight up actually attacks one of the protagonists, for Reasons, but still. not that he doesn't murder the pevensies in the last book. i mean, i guess you could argue that its just like Divine Coincidence where what with the unaligned timelines betwixt england and narnia, aslan couldve just picked the moment everyone was gonna die anyway and just tossed them over to X point in time in narnia. but I Donno.....im kinda with that university student who's stressing about whether aslan cause ww2 for the purpose of sending the pevensies to the wardrobe. like, that train accident that killed everybody killed four people on the platform & five people on the train in different carriages and everything, or maybe the numbers are switched because i dont remember where lucy was. im saying, that was a hell of a crash. but sure. anyhow, even more fun, aslan appears as a cat to the Other protag while he's spending a night on the edge of the wilderness, and scratches him for saying he once threw rocks at a stray cat. like, hard #same, aslan!!! wtf dude why arent YOU being claimed by satan

whats also fun is that it doesn't really take place in narnia, which is also the reason besides pacing that you wouldnt really want to make this one into a film? because uhhhh the whole worldbuilding lewis crapt upon everyone for calormen is clearly racist as fuccck. if you arent already familiar with all the books (namely this one and i suppose the last battle) then its like.....i guess its some sort of vague notion of the ottoman empire? its really just a mashup of any number of white-english-variety racist notions. everyone is brown, is it an inaccurate stab at an amorphous amalgam of middle eastern culture? east asian? are people islamic or hindu? just try and guess what he was going for because its just. not based on anyone needing to know anything about reality. lewis was against seasoning food i guess, because it will mention i guess like, people cooking with onions like the heathens they are. (spoilers: this country just exists in the narniaverse to represent Those Heathens). its not necessarily an Evil place, they are noble savages ok!! with their formal seriousness and cutthroat customs.......b/c they are not as advanced and peaceful as the white northern christians, see. closer to the less developed violence of their inherently backwards ways and Cruel Society reigned by violence DONT CONVERT OR YOU'LL DIE, KIDS. but also.....you wont be white? the reason of calormens existence is really never explained. telmarines came from englandverse on accident thru a magic portal just lying around, possibly thats whats meant to have happened there too? its never attempted to be explained. anyways its basically the intro to the disney aladdin.

lewis is entirely inconsistent and self contradictory all throughout the series for the sake of the authors convenience. this is part of what makes the stories fun and the worldbuilding charming. it is also what allows him to pull stunts that have you pinching the bridge of your nose in exasperation and writing out essays to try to figure out how narnia is supposed to work. it is also what allows him, five books in, to be like, "here is the country to the south where the demon-worshipping gross scary brown uncivilized folk sit around hating narnia and confirming any racist notion you have about any nonwhite nonchristian country or culture." thanks, clive

its of course ludicrous and, of course, the protagonist shasta just so happens to be white despite being raised calormene. spoilers, he is narnian. or really from archenland, which isnt narnia but is still white and pro-narnia so its alright. i mean, technically narnia is allied with calormen at all points in time of the series? calormen just quietly tries an invasion in that book and also in the last book. so thats interesting. i suppose lewis is anti-crusades, which is big of him. the pevs arent out here trying to conquer calormen and convert them to narnianism. so that must not be the Destiny of the true christian? or are we meant to believe calormenes are beyond help? shasta who is of course secretly not "really" calormene is still representing someone undergoing "conversion," yet again, the guy is white. i suppose being brown is whats hopeless?

theres an inadvertently laughable line at the start of the book where a calormene expositorially points out that shasta is white by comparing him to the "accursed but beautiful" narnians. who are all white? is he just talking about the pevensies? the archenlanders (i cant remember where theyre meant to have come from either.) are like, all humanoid narnian natives white?? wtf, aslan. anyways, the dialogue is unnatural and funny enough, but its also like.....ok lewis, we got it, whiteness is the standard for all universes and everyone wishes they were white. stupid, sexy narnians.

what alllllmost suggests that being a poc isnt an automatic fastpass to hell is that im fairly sure the second protagonist aravis is a nonwhite calormene?? i dont remember it ever saying she was "fair" like the narnians the way the book immediately points out that shasta is. she is of course escaping an arranged marriage (the calormene plot to sort of vaguely try to invade narnia is also based on forcing susan to marry a dude she doesnt like yet who she apparently genuinely considered as a suitor when he wasnt acting like a jerk? so not only a dude who isnt white but a dude who isnt aslanian christian. its a whole complicating element to just toss out in this otherwise flat af worldbuilding, dude!! not to mention? despite the battles and shit, susan was out here considering marriage? how absolutely fucked up would it have been if any of them married and then effed off back to england. moving along) but she is from the start portrayed as equally sympathetically as shasta and nothing about her is pointed out as being Bad and Reprehensible, which the narration has no qualms about doing. she even gets to spend some time with her calormene friend, who is not exactly meant to be as sympathetic or noble but certainly isnt portrayed as at all evil. like...theres at least the occasional exception apparently, in which maybe not every person is inherently evil and violent and cruel. who knows

also aravis definitely later marries the white protag?? but apparently interracial marriage isnt entirely Unthinkable here. wait, also, aravis claims to be somehow a direct descendant of the calormene god tash? first of all, is that true, comma, possible? in the last book its confirmed that tash is real, albeit, like, a demon. dunno what c.s. is telling us with that one. is aravis related to a demon. we can only guess on account of the theme of Inconsistency

anyways. i suppose you could make it into a movie if you just threw out the racist shit. but the "calormen is also distinguished from narnia via its religion" element is also a touch janky. can it be thrown out too? if they intend to produce the last battle, will it be thrown out then. it kind of comes up again. if you get rid of those elements though, the stakes get a little blurrier and more political and more "wait well why would they have any beef with each other in the first place" if you cant just easily point out that the calormenes are shaking their fists at the narnians and their demon worship and their jealousy at not being white. again, are all centaurs white or something? wtf

truly calormene is the most racist ass shit in the whole series, but the concept comes up in less painfully direct ways other times, too. why are there native species in narnia that are considered inherently evil?? sure, the white witch as the stand-in for the devil wasn't originally from narnia. was she creating shit too? i dont remember what she was up to on account of i havent read the magicians nephew in a hot minute. i know they had to take a pegasus into a garden of eden type shit to smoke her out of wherever she was lurking for some reason or another. still. whys there whole types of creatures who are universally and unilaterally condemned? i know we're meant to believe that they just have evil intent according to their nature, but uh....theres no point at which any of these creatures are given a chance? maybe they served the white witch because she was nice to them for once. you're not given the chance to know. EXCEPT for the fact that you get shit like: giants are evil save for the occasional exception, like in lww when a "good" giant is described as having like, a long family line, and "traditions." not like Those Sorts. they do talk in like prince caspian and shit, when their numbers are miserable and theyre discussing tactics, whether to get help from the gross hags and harpies and etc and ppl will talk about Those People and Sorts and Rabble and its like...jfc. b/c apparently sommme of them can be decent! if theyre a giant or whatever. and meanwhile the dwarfs are always chaotic neutral or whatever. not believing in aslan but not necessarily being anti-narnia coz they live there. but sometimes being good guys!! but sometimes being bad guys, and jadis was cool to them apparently. like.................theres definitely cases of Types of narnians who fall outside the "born good / born bad" system, and thats pretty fucked. wolves too? theyre the Talking Beasts aslan definitely created, but on the side of the white witch? how was she having trees be on her side, too? whats going on around here. whats the moral meant to be. smh

uhh well anyhow, you could do a nice essay on gender re narnia. on account of sometimes its staleass typical sexist tropes like uhh, say,, the devil stand-ins keep being women? witches, ok. and the idea of "women need to be protected as pure creatures" as a basic sexist notion, and even lewis taking a relatively subdued jab at the idea of calling that sexist. susan being the miniature mom character type, and of course the infamous last battle bit where, in an attempt to describe her lack of spirituality as a self-insert of what lewis considered his own period of fake maturity via rejection of christianity, she's of course not only described as not believing in narnia (which????? what is anyone supposed to make of that. again, in the allegory of the cave shit, she's been outside the cave!!! she lived in narnia for YEARS AND YEARS and then WENT BACK. how are we supposed to believe she just convinced herself it wasnt literally real? its not quite the same as someone losing their faith in christianity.) but as like, wearing makeup, damn her. even if he wasnt trying to make the point that "look at boys and go to hell" which, i suppose he couldnt, as in narnia susan was being courted just fine as queen, yet i suppose also she didnt marry anyone—anyways, of course its still sexist to slight the way she decides to dress as some form of false maturity, even if its meant to be metaphor. just clumsy af & not great when again, devils are always witches around here. and being younger is to be more spiritually pure which like............mmm ok. this is sort of another one of those weirdly sexless fantasy universes, why do those keep happening. i mean sure this is a christian fairy tale for kids. but nobody even gets married save for in the last paragraphs of a couple books. its left a bit ambiguous whether thats even spiritually acceptable in the narnia rules, unless its to Continue the Line a la the telmarine monarchy from caspian the first to tirian the whateverth. hm

but also of course you get the young girl characters being...somewhat almost allowed to fight (archery mainly) but anyways at least being given equal status to the boys who are there also. theres even mention of once apparently narnia being ruled by a queen w no kings around. fantastic. and theres some non-witch lady characters on occasion. the human characters are where the dynamics are most at, i suppose, but anyways this at least has some nuance & at times seems to go just a bit beyond what you might expect from some old dude in the 50s. still not that surprising or innovative, but not completely flat, and seeming to contain at least a little reflection upon the topic

the essay of race re: narnia would be really short though. Its Racist Af. if you threw classism in too, you might get a bit more length out of it. but really its just so flat in this subject, and totally needless. there's the fact that even narnia is ruled by white english people but.....you can really do without juxtaposing this with the heinous nonwhite country somewhere over there. the rest of the books operate just fine w/o this

tolkien mentioned HIS scary brown backwards civilization to the south a lot more fleetingly in lotr but its....v much the same worldbuilding as narnia??? aka middle earth is pretty much an imaginary proto-england where you dont want to go too far east or south or you run into dangerous &/or inherently evil territory!! ok, jrr.....who was the other people in the inklings?? what did they write. could no one rein these guys in. coz lewis is over here with his Alternate Universe england. with uhhhh wilderness to the north and west and the dangerous evilish racismland to the south. and the ocean and dont forget narnia is a flat earth to the east. also? why are the lone islands like that. can aslan take care of some of that shit. for gods sake. anyways. the all-white good guys / evil poc should be thrown out of everything, thats not what makes the worldbuilding in either lotr or chronarnia at all interesting. yet is it is surely a subsection of the inherent Englishness of both examples........it warrants analysis but not "carrying on into films or anything based on either's precedence in the fantasy genre."

god who knows what im talking about at this point. im just saying "if they arent looking to even bother trying to wrangle the horse and his boy into something not ludicrously racist then i wouldnt be at all surprised." still, do you suppose theres like a curse where unless all narnia books are given some sort of film adaptation, the world won't know peace? more likely the world would end, maybe. the curse of clive. i dont really remember but that elder bbc series sure didnt cover the whole saga

well this is long enough but lets all set off in more endless, doomed narnalysis, such as

my thesis on trying to figure out what. the Fuck any reader is supposed to make out of edmund's role in the lww

whats the deal with merpeople?!

where are all these witches coming from, anyways

seriously if the narnians were just less murderous to the Undesirable species would they have been on the pro-aslan side all along

if there was only two humans staying in narnia at its birth, wouldnt their line like, die out immediately with their kid.

where did the archenlanders come from

where did the calormenes come from

oh yeah and like. are we seriously meant to believe that, at the end of the world, when aslan reveals that being goodnatured supercedes having the Wrong Religion, there is only one calormene in all of a) current existence and b) history who fits the bill? really. why even bring it up, then.

how did narnians react to their four monarchs completely disappearing......for real.....and what happened to the line to the throne?? was there just no ruler until the telmarines came in and took things over for the rest of the few centuries or whatevs.

when was that deep magic in lww written? at the start of narnia? coz thats the magicians nephew. again, how tf did the white witch get any leverage in that one. how was that supposed to be a good idea. wtf. see my thesis

whats the white witch supposed to represent as a stand-in for the devil? not helping that i dont remember the details of magicians nephew for shit, but she's definitely in the Multiverse lore of narnia as being from a different world as narnia and england. wtf is like...her nature

how weird is it in narnia that you have a god who drops in confused alien children to both go on personal journeys and save the world? is narnia-aslan/earth-jesus also dropping other children from other worlds into other other worlds? via other forms? hmm

lewis is all but inviting us the readers to be filling in the blanks with narnia fic. he's basically like, outright actually inviting fic with people wanting to speculate what happens with susan, who must inevitably return to narnia as lewis intends her to represent his own departure from (and obvious inevitable return to) christianity

a weird detail that is also never elaborated on: in addition to the narrator freely inserting loads of opinions into the narration, there's a time or two its made clear that like, the narrator has gotten this info from interviewing the characters. how'd you know about that last battle, "they all died and this happened in the afterlife" shit, huh. just another weird element

sussing out other lewispinions, like how he hates all schools apparently

narnia vs middle earth!! both quasi englands, both pre industrialization, both with christ figures running around some more than others, both with the need for rightful kings, totally different roles for humans tho. well, thats the whole comparison

and, inevitably, more.

More Cathedral Tower Defense thoughts! Its a day of these!

* Frustratingly I actually thought up a name for the town/home base area of the game, and I ended up forgetting it through stupid circumstances. I thought it up while playing another game, I used it as the name of my house there so i wouldnt forget. But then i didnt really enjoy the game and I uninstalled it and now i cant remember what the damn name was! I didnt backup my save file :P I just know it was ‘[something] Abbey’? And it was like a name that was also gonna be the name of a famous folk hero who founded the place.

* Oh and I dunno if I ever explained it but the premise is gonna be basically that the church and the town are the same thing. The country has been at war for so long that this place was once a simple place of worship but became a sanctuary for people chased out of their homes, and ended up just expanding and developing into this. It was the only place that managed to survive the seige, by becoming self sufficient with a whole damn mini town inside! So its gonna be like a castle type place, a whole indoor civilization surrounded by walls that have to fend off constant attacks. From both the opposing army and asshole bandits who just like to take advantage of the opportunity :P And its kinda be like rune factory basically, i just wanna make this town super endearing so you dont mind spending most of your time limited to one area. (aside from dungeons) But the place would change quite a bit as the game goes on, you;d have more control over developing it and really see the progress! the kind of thing i got excited for in dragon age inquisition and then it failed to live up to my expectations. Alas!

* I also had names for the two currently developed demon species but I forgot those too >_< My friend helped me think them up during a fun conversation and then i forgot to write it down and we couldnt find the chat log! I can kinda remember the plant one, or if this wasnt exactly what it was then its what its gonna be now, lol. I think Viexar or Viexnar? Its fun to just indulge my pure nonsense creativity and make up words in a fantasy language, instead of having to do hours researching proper real names with real meanings. Summon-Daze helped me out with this by showing me a name generator that mashes syllables together from real mythological names to make new words that sound genuinely fantasyish! Wish I could remember the link! Oh and I’m pretty sure the name we thought up for malachi’s rocky species was something that ended in -och or -ich? i just remember I brought up the Tamatoch monster from Jade Coccoon 2 and wanted something similar. It might have been something-loch?

* Okay I found another demon name generator here and I dunno if its the same one: http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=adname Names that are cool and I could possibly use for something: Raspiel, Salurin, Gremzuhn, Meolohr, Lamboch, Zeimar, Nehael, Edahoel, Alasis, Lutanon, Atzsaz, Tibemael, Adehasp

* I think the different religions of the setting would all have their own ‘gods’, even though theyre more like different sects of the same religion worshipping the same god. Because their views of The Shattering are so wildly different, they each perceive this god as looking and acting different, so much so that it looks like there’s a whole pantheon of gods even though they each only believe one of them actually exists. Hard to explain, lol! And I think since theyre all meant to be the same person as interpreted by different sects, there’d be only one name for god, but still each sect would have to have a name to distinguish each other, yknow? Ummm.. a random name I just made up off the top of my head- Malahat! So lets say the god is called Malahat. Everyone would worship malahat, but their own personal religion’s interpretation might be Malahat The Hunter, or Malahat The Blind, or etc. They’d go by those ‘The Something’ type names when you’re talking about comparing the religions, yknow? But Malahat The Blind might be SO different from Malahat The Hunter that they could be compared to like Zeus and Vishnu. Hell, people can’t even agree on what malahat’s gender is! Hmm, maybe there’s one religion that has malahat as a shadowy ambiguous figure and their teachings are like ‘nobody can possibly know what they were like, it’s sacrilage to try and find out’. Man I have a lot of ideas already! Also i really like the name malahat, its weird how that just popped into my head when ive taken ages to think of names for everything else XD ...wow and actually that’d be an excuse for malachi to be a religious name in-universe too even though christianity and judaism dont exist. Cool how that works out! I should think harder about making sure to avoid real life names that wouldnt make sense in-universe tho. And this is why word-names like Amity would be useful, that still sounds religious in any universe without being super specific to christianity. patience and temperance and charity and etc are virtues in quite a lot of religions, even if theyre specifically christian names in the west. Hmm, actually I wonder how many names from other cultures have similar meanings? man im going offtopic now lol, i am both hyper and dead tired XD i’ll go to bed now and make a post listing my ideas of the five religions tomorrow
