Marigolds

There are days when nothing works. Not forgiveness, not gratitude, not even an excursion into the silence, inside, which currently sports a “Do Not Disturb” sign. No, nothing works. Quirks and quandaries cut like knives while the dismal drone of the daily quotidian beats a bad rhythm in your fragile heart yearning to stay present, accepting…well, like I said – it doesn’t work. Yet amidst the sludge of such dark sky thoughts, twirling your life round to the ground like the spiral of a falling feather, you sense a nudge, happen to look up and see that pot of marigolds, you know, the ones you planted in the hopes that the sun of their faces would shine you back to the bright side of now… and it does. by Arlene Gay Levine

I absolutely love this scene, firstly because it looks so epic. But also because in the very next scene you see the group at Los Soledad stepping out of Kevin's car...

...which they left back at Mr Smoothy.

So every time I watch this episode I love to imagine the group epically strolling halfway down the street before Kevin realizes he left his car behind and sprints back to Mr Smoothy at top speed while everyone else just stands around awkwardly waiting.

Also apparently they let Darkstar ride in the car with them. That must have been a super awkward journey.

40 years today.

Hawkeye: Look, I know how tough it is for you to say goodbye, so I'LL say it. Maybe you're right, maybe we WILL see each other again, but just in case we don't, I want you to know how much you've meant to me. I'll never be able to shake you; whenever I see a pair of big feet or a cheesy mustache, I'll think of you.

B.J.: Whenever I smell month-old socks, I'll think of YOU.

Hawkeye: Or the next time somebody nails my shoe to the floor...

B.J.: ...or when somebody gives me a martini that tastes like lighter fluid.

Hawkeye: I'll miss you.

B.J.: I'll miss YOU. A lot. I can't imagine what this place would've been like if I hadn't found you here.

Happy 40th to the most romantic divorce in cinematic history.

Was about to get really mad at Alan and Ellie for not believing Alice every word she says but I collected myself and am a stronger woman than a second ago to accept that yes Alice is perfect and always right but that dino story is reasonably hard to believe

There's this thing in the Ben 10 fandom that i wanna talk about that often goes ignored and its the fact that there's always conversations about "The Girls Of Ben 10" and how they deserved better... But here's the thing

All the characters of Ben 10 are underdeveloped. All of them are robbed of times to shine. Its not just Ben's old dates, who get the most attention in these conversations, it's women who exist outside of Ben completely. Its men who we see a few times but still know next to nothing about.

Look at Charmcaster. Charmcaster had a huge story line. She had soooo much going for her that was outside of Ben completely. She was the daughter of a man who fought against oppression and died, then she went into Legerdomain and took it back from said oppressor, and became its new ruler. But then?? She was a bad guy again?? Like, even outside the Michael Morningstar thing, she wanted to get her dad back and she killed all those people and even managed to kill the plumber squad, and then after uaf they completely got rid of that storyline. She has a rich backstory and so much ahead of her story wise that is so interesting!! And it was left for.. Whatever happened in omniverse..

And then there's Pierce, who was the older brother of Helen and friend to Manny, who had so much personality hyped up before we'd actually met him. He was capturing plumbers kids, then got sucked in himself, and met Max, and... Then what?? He joined Max's team with Helen and Manny, who, also, we know nothing about, and then we didn't really hear anything more about them. They went to Plumbers school. I dont even wanna talk about the Rooters arc rn, that's so far away from, like, an actual in depth character analysis to even mention. How did they grow up on Earth if they looked like that... How'd they meet Manny... That was covered?? In Omniverse?? I guess?? But whyd they stay together??

Oh my gosh Elena lets talk about Elena. Shes gotta have PTSD. Her body was taken over by nanites, she didn't even have a full sense of self by the end. She was creating these robots, then she went into the sewers, and eight or something months later shes in a gameshow for Ben's heart. What's up with that?? She has such a plot, a story line-- How'd she get her body back?

Then theres Alan. How long has Alan known he could turn into a alien. Who's his dad? Ok rooter arc stuff again but can we all agree that that retcon sucked?? What is Alan doing now? He was the same age as Ben when he first got his Omnitrix when we were introduced to him for the first time. And his last line was "i think my story is just beginning" like WHAT we were ROBBED

What's Cooper doing? Sunny? They introduce characters with so much interesting stuff going on in their lives or stories and then they never get to have a satisfying story line. Its not just the girls. Its really just background characters in general. They do a couple of things with Cash and JT too, but they never go anywhere--despite having some regular human high schooler dudes with a average redemption arc in play could be interesting in itself. And Jimmy! He's a kid detective! And he has one episode dedicated to it and then rarely shows up again!

I mean, look how many Anodite aus are on this site. Gwen isnt a love interest to anyone but Kevin-- and her, Sunny, and Verdona's experiences with being anodites have people so curious that you have countless headcanons loitering about the tag all the time. Anyway, all im saying is that various plot points are brought up and never seriously or fully explored to their full potential with both the men and women of Ben 10.

A great song (and album) by Yes.

Again, not the usual famous/hits you may know the band for.

----

Full Album Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zOxY5lBkwY&list=OLAK5uy_lHGzphVQHF2zNTRGdMVtA8pYT_yuzWoW4&index=9

----

The lyrics do seem to have a Zen/Buddhist feel to it (Jon Anderson influence, I think).

Examples: The more we live > the more we learn > the more we know The more we give > the more we love > the more we grow The more we see > the more we try > the more we show The more we fear > the more we lie > the more we hide

----

"The More We Live - Let Go" Lyrics

You and I can change the world The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know

From this moment on we share the world The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow

The spirit of imagination can lead us through the dark The more we see, the more we try, the more we show

The evidence of our confusion, life has left its mark The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide

As we walk into tomorrow (Turning away from the path we know) Holding the future with our hands (We carry the weight of the world we go) It's up to you and I (We hold the key; we hold the answer)

All our thoughts of doubt and fear (We leave it all by one) The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know

For each of us the road is clear and life has just begun; The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow

It's time to ease the thoughts we set for ourselves The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide

All we need is just to believe in ourselves We face the truth, we see it clear, with no disguise

Cast away our doubt and sorrow (Turning away from the past we know) The Universe and all can be (Showing the fate of the world we know) Together you and I, we hold the key to all the answers (Let go)

Trivia:

Some songs were originally written by the band ABWH (Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe) and some by Yes.

Initially recorded by both groups separately as their own compositions. Then, the producer and the label decide (along with Jon) to redo the bits originally recorded by Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe.

The song Masquerade (ABWH) received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

Cover art was (again) by Roger Dean.

From Wikipedia: "The number of people who worked on the album is highly unusual. There are seven different producers, roughly 17 recording engineers and mixers, six backing singers, nine synthesizer player/programmers and no less than four additional musicians who added parts as well. ... four pages of the album's CD booklet are dedicated to the song credits."

From Wikipedia: "Producer Jonathan Elias's decision, with Anderson, to have session musicians overdub Wakeman and Howe's parts proved to be controversial with fans and critics."

Song List, Original Writers, and (My) Recommendation Notation:

I Would Have Waited Forever (ABWH) - Recommended

Shock to the System (ABWH) - Recommended

Masquerade (ABWH) - Recommended

Lift Me Up (Yes) - Recommended

Without Hope You Cannot Start the Day (ABWH) - Recommended

Saving My Heart (Yes) - Recommended

Culture, Behavior, and Personality: An Introduction to the Comparative Study of Psychosocial Adaptation (Robert Alan LeVine, 1982)

“In referring to "internally determined consistencies underlying a person's behavior," Child indicates another aspect of personality in the second sense:

that behavioral consistencies reflect or express dispositions that are not themselves directly observable but are in some sense "internal" to the individual.

The disposition is a potential for behavior that is conceived of as existing even at times when it is not being realized in observable behavior. (…)

Assuming the existence of such a disposition makes the individual's behavior predictable and comprehensible, it also suggests an internal psychological organization in which that disposition is functionally embedded.

In making this assumption, then, we are saying that the observed behavioral consistencies do not constitute personality, they are indicators of it, or rather of the internal dispositions that influence overt behavior.

The more elaborate and detailed one's assumptions about the internal psychological organization in which personality dispositions are embedded, the farther one moves toward personality in the first sense, as psychological process, and away from a strictly behavioral definition. (…)

In the present state of knowledge and methodology, I prefer to operate with a set of minimal assumptions that do not preclude a more elaborate conceptualization:

that personality dispositions operate as pressures on individual behavior, as cultural norms do, but from within;

that each disposition manifests itself in the individual's goal-seeking behavior, emotional reactions, cognitive activity (perceiving, associating, conceptualizing, remembering, problem-solving, learning), and communicative behavior—all of which are observable;

that the imperative quality of the disposition indicates that it is functionally related to the maintenance of a psychological organization that is internally as well as environmentally adaptive and that has a history of its formation in the life of the organism;

that dispositions can and should be compared across individuals and groups, with awareness of their possible varying significance in differing psychological organizations (which require comparative study in themselves).”
