splatoon would have like the most agonizing traumatic heartbreaking lore ever and then go on to name an important aspect of that lore something goofy like oh yeah the grandkids of this guy who participated in the great turf war have names that when said together sounds like calamari :) we're going to delve into agent 8's inner mind and face her struggles. the name of this campaign? side order. like some fries :) this guy who's the last of his kind is trying to bring back order and balance by turning aquatic animals into mammals. oh what's his name- mr. grizz. :)

“Dhani and I were not quite sure how we would feel on November 29th. Sometimes we thought we should be spending the night quietly, but really it was the most perfect thing we could have been doing. […] But it was very emotional… and I think Dhani was some sort of an anchor on that stage, and somehow through him, George was really present.” - Olivia Harrison, BBC Radio, 2009
“My Dad didn’t like to see people upset. He hated it when people weren’t happy when they could be.” - Dhani Harrison, Concert for George, Genesis Publications
“[George’s] words became a constant dialogue to us. Especially lines like:
‘Beware of sadness, it can hit you, it can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for.’
So we tried not to be sad, but instead celebrated the life and music of a great artiste, the beautiful ‘quiet’ one from Liverpool who became a man of many words as well as worlds, a wise and coveted friend, father and seeker who transcended the distractions of success and fame to maintain a one-pointed focus upon his goal of spiritual awakening. He did all this while entertaining the world and having an equal measure of fun along the way.” - Olivia Harrison, Concert for George liner notes
“It was obviously very emotional for me to see [Dhani] up there [at the Concert for George on 29 November 2002] paying tribute to his dad. And listening to George’s words — ‘Beware of sadness/ It can hit you, it can hurt you, make you sore/ And what is more, that is not what you are here for’ — feeling so incredibly sad and trying not to be sad — taking George’s advice.” - Olivia Harrison, Rolling Stone, October 9, 2003 (x)

However, when I was a kid, living on the outskirts of Liverpool, I didn't know [National Service would be abolished] so I had to be prepared. In my mind I would imagine myself with a bayonet, because that was the symbol of it all, and imagine myself running someone through, and I thought, Jesus Christ! That is not going to be easy. Fuck me! What's the look on his face going to be like if I do it? Having quite a vivid imagination, I'd follow all that shit through. So when I went out into the woods, I thought I'd better get some practice in. So I thought, Frogs. That'll do, because all my mates killed frogs anyway. They used to blow them up sticking a straw up their ass. That was the way to kill a frog. I didn't fancy that, I thought that was a little bit pervy. I thought a straightforward killing with a bash, hold the legs and just smash 'em on me head. You feel that you've got to learn to kill, like a farmer's boy who grows up and learns to kill that goose and wring that chicken's neck. But I didn't have the farm, so there was no other way to learn.
I felt very conscious that I was going to shit out completely when this National Service arrived. I was going to be one of the guys who said, 'Sorry, sir, I'm a pacifist, I can't kill,’ and I'd have to go to jail. I was in a dilemma in my mind. So I used to kill these frogs. There was a spot in the woods where there was some barbed wire and I used to stick 'em on the barbs of the wire. I had quite a little gallery. I used to call 'em Johnny Rebs, these were the rebels from the Civil War. I had six or seven of them, and I remember taking my brother down there once. He was completely horrified.
Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now
Yes, it's the infamous frog killer Paul McCartney story but that's a bit more context here I think is essential. Other versions include the National Service anxiety but not,I think, this pronounced. He got into his head that he was going to get in trouble, possibly with the law, if he couldn't 'be a man' about it.

wonpil is the most tender, warm-hearted, and loving man i've ever seen. listening to him play the piano just brought tears to my eyes. he suits the piano so much like i can't even put it into words... like piano chords are almost like warm hugs to me!! the kind of music that you could go home to after a long day and just cry in its embrace. i'd love to listen to him play the piano for as long as i can. and i hope he'll always find joy in making music and giving love.

I'm very weary of narratives and dynamics that paint people of color as like bullies, or intolerant/bigoted, or anything of the sort against white characters cause it's not that we're infallible either within specific communities or as a collective but like...idk like I feel like we're usually in these roles more often than not (its ESP Black women and girls, and Dark skin women and girls even moreso) like, esp when shows tout themselves as progressive cause knowing how Fandoms roll esp in regards to bleeding into actors off screen I just know there are people like going the hell in, because even when they're not bad people at all or just like a fleshed out human beings let them do one thing wrong, or do something fans don't like, people never shut the fuck up about it (look at Meredith and Amelia from Grey's vs Maggie and Bailey, esp in like the second half of the Grey's run) meanwhile white characters can never do anything wrong ever even when they're very much in the wrong which hmmm does that not also sound like real life?
