#[ huge missed opportunity ]

[s0fter-sin]

sometimes i think about how much of a waste it was to just have cas ignoring sam’s prayers in s6 instead of him actually not being able to hear him bc he was soulless and his prayers didn’t work

#there should have been more side effects of literally not having a soul other than sam just being a sociopath #the whole point of the season was how souls themselves are power right #so its not a leap to asume any supernatural anything a human is able to do or conjure would be powered by the soul #so why not make it that the soul is what powers prayers #or powers exorcisms and summonings and rites #imagine if sam couldnt make holy water anymore #or exorcise demons which he doesnt care about bc hed just use the knife anyway #but it would make things difficult for him #just this added hassle of having to buy holy water and needing the cambels to do rites for him that he just cant #i know cas ignores him for guilt reasons but imagine if that first prayer from dean is how he realises he brought sam back soulless #maybe he just thought sam was ignoring him and had gone on to live the normal life he always wanted #then that guilt of thinking he saved him just to realise how badly he fucked up along with the guilt of working with crowley?? #huge missed opportunity #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #carry on my wayward son #sam winchester #castiel #dean winchester #destiel #supernatural #spn

i think that the movie couldve honestly done a way better job at like deconstructing the average middle class white guy's feelings that theyre owed everything

#bad at explaining things but like #ollie kinda gave off like incel vibes or like hes owed everything yk #and i feel like they couldve gone harder with that #and with farleigh right there too #being like the only black guy there and ollie still thinking that he has it worse or something #huge missed opportunity #. saltburn #its almost 12am and i got a huge headache so if u disagree with me. u cant

#it's funny because everyone keeps saying there's huge potential but i only ever see the posts about the missed opportunity #and never someone actually sitting down and writing it #and now i am in........ the same boat #and the boat is not getting written #this is the most boat whump you'll get from me probably #whump #whump prompt #whump scenario

Hi hello you're the best expert on Sploon lore I know, so if anyone knows it's you: what is the deal with parallel canon? I still don't get it. Is it actual Four but greyscaled, or some sort of digital clone? Or do we just not know and Nintendo is torturing us with knowledgen't

I mean, I don't have secret exclusive knowledge on this and the game doesn't exactly make it clear. It's definitely 4 in some way as parallel canon rips your agent 4 data from Splatoon 2 if you have it, and it's mentioned marina wanted to hire them for security (which I assume isn't as technical as it sounds and involves virtually fighting stuff?) but beyond that...im kind of leaning towards them being a construct of the spire made/corrupted by order (maybe corrupting that data tying them to security for its own means?) since you have their palette and can free them and the parallel canon fight is still there. but I also think the idea of it actually being grayscaled 4 would be cool. Maybe it's a mix. there's definitely people who've thought deeper than I have into parallel canon/agent 4, I'm hoping for a side order developer interview sometime soon bc this seems exactly like something an interviewer would ask about because it's kinda vague

#Asks #Side order #Parallel canon #I wish they did more with grayscaling and its effects on the real world. Huge missed opportunity to elevate the stakes there

Man, these past few days...so many thoughts. About my life then, my life now. What I missed. Thoughts about what I'll never have. And what I want to have.

#gilmore girls #this episode is another one where it's like #lorelai had this huge horrible thing happen #and instead of making it about her she turns the whole situation into an opportunity to do something great for rory #she takes rory to the college of her dreams and doesn't give away even the slightest hint of wistfulness #when it triggers all these thoughts about what she missed and what she gave up to be rory's mom #rory comes out of a college classroom so excited about 'college is gonna be amazing; i can't wait; i love college; i love harvard! #and lorelai just makes space for rory to be giddy #and tells her how amazing she is and how she blew everyone in the classroom away #without ever once letting on that she has painful emotions about her own missed opportunities #she makes this whole trip into an opportunity for rory to celebrate and revel in her upcoming future #even when lorelai's own intended future has just collapsed! #anyway i'm learning to make gg gifs myself so i don't have to put my bookends thoughts on other people's sets #but this one really is the most bookends vibes #vague bookends thoughts #*

i understand why some ppl are upset by fionna and cake's ending but to be honest you are watching the acceptance of loss and change show.

#like i GET IT and i actually do think that betty's character was a huge missed opportunity when it comes to what this show adresses #and i do wish like some of the alternate worlds they visit maybe had a betty as a main character or smth but #idk i like this ending and im happy w it #fionna and cake spoilers #fionna and cake

Interesting thing about Lincoln.

As a person and a politician, he was defined by his way with words. He was a lawyer, which involves speaking in courtrooms and appealing to audiences. He rose to national prominence because of how well he did in a series of public debates. He wrote speeches that have lasted through the ages because of their concise yet vivid phrasing.

He understood the world through the lens of storytelling. He had anecdotes for every situation, and constantly used them to provide metaphors explaining his stances or his strategy or his view of an issue.

As president during a Civil War, a huge part of his job was crafting the narrative explaining what they were fighting for. The Gettysburg Address reframed the national narrative so the founding moment of the country wasn't the ratification of the Constitution--as the South claimed--but the Declaration of Independence that listed the ideals that all the states should be held to. Of course, the South was doing the same thing, so that the conflict was not only a battle of muskets and cannons--it was a war of stories.

And he was killed by an actor.

In a theater.

He was struck down by an opposing storyteller in a palace of artifice. An actress made a point of cradling his dying head in her lap so she could have a part in the drama. He lived by stories and died as the center of one, in a place made for telling such stories.

It's poetic and tragic and so shockingly fitting that the war of stories claimed him as its central victim.

#presidential talk #history is awesome #this has been brewing since i listened to the lincoln podcast episode #they centered it around his words and storytelling #which was an excellent angle to take #i thought for sure they were leading up to the irony of the 'killed by an actor in a theater' thing #and they didn't even mention it #which felt like a huge missed opportunity #and i just listened to a short kid's audiobook about the hunt for booth #it was not great i don't recommend it #but it did bring this subject back to mind so now i have to inflict it on you and pretend it means something outside my own head

I want Destiny to steal exactly one thing from Warframe (that's a lie I also want a Warframe-esque melee system and probably a lot more if I were to go digging) and that's for strand hunters to be able to make Ivara-style tightropes

#Like they're called THREADRUNNERS that is such a huge missed opportunity #like ensnaring slam is strong and all but their move should've been a tightrope thing #or maybe a grenade hold/melee ability of some kind yknow #destiny 2 #warframe

Did you know that Miss Japan 2024 was a White Ukrainian?👀

I wonder why the anti woke anti diversity mob didn't clutch their pearls at this one whining about virtue signalling and political agenda ? 🙃

#this is a HUGE debate in Japan right now #she came to japan when she was 5 so she's obviously fluent and culturally totally japanese #but japanese netizens for the most part are seething and dont understand why they couldntn find a real japanese 美人 as a miss Japan 👀 #sorry but forcing oneself into a beauty contest in such a racially monogenous country is PEAK white women audacity lmaoo #it reminds me the miss HBCU who was a latina 💀 #but tbh if people are dumb enough to let those foreign women invade their spaces why wouldnt those women waste this opportunity? #japan #papi watch #miss japan

If he can bring back Arrancars, I genuinely need to know the answer from Mayuri himself

Why he didn't resurrect Starrk too?

#“well because-” “my theory is-” silence i asked mayuri here not you #starrk not being in tybw arc is a damn huge missed opportunity #imagine him helping kyoraku against lille #like imagine bro #guns vs guns it's gonna be lit #coyote starrk #mayuri kurotsuchi #bleach tybw #there's still hope for hell arc but still i kinda wished starrk was in tybw arc first and foremost #starrk deserved better
