According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.
And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.
Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.
So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.
Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.

If you don't mind me asking, why don't you ship cassunzel/Unknighted dream? I don't ship it either but I'm curious about your reasoning
1/2
After the finale of the series I tried to get into unknighted before quickly seeing how blatantly anti-eugene it was back then. It just was so overt, and was very weird as it seemed to go under the radar. Just personally very telling. <_< I never got the vibe of neutralism but forced interaction. It just seemed like an excuse to make Eugene look incompetent, the target of every joke yadayada– just all along that line of not being taken serious. When I occasionally see it now I just kinda simmer because he seems out of character with what coming from a past of already having very little and never getting anything/one to himself, but I have nothing against it.
For cassunzel I just never saw the chemistry. Again with the forced interaction and season three only intensified that feeling for me. Heavily. As well as some not so nice things I heard and witnessed from the community, again, not welcoming. It’s not my thing.
You also shouldn't be putting down any particular pairing(s) or characters to justify why you ship something either, which is at least imo makes unk. bearable to come across in this current state of the fandom.
>> x | x for more context <<
I have, however, been into Tangled way longer than I’ve been invested in the series, starting back in 2012 despite the fact that I wasn’t active online much then. New Dream has always been my favorite pairing!! The movie had a universe much different aesthetically than the series did and is much more likable. It's just overall a great comfort movie for me personally and I’ve made so many great connections from other fans of it too! It’s nice to finally have a space I feel comfortable in to share my tangled obsessions n' stuff. :D
tl;dr: With Eugene’s characterization I feel he’s stripped of his likeness when put in unknighted a lot of times, and never took a liking to cassunzel. I got into Tangled (2010) years before the series was even a thought and have been obsessed ever since. Guys. Ship wtv you want.

Okay I think my first playthrough will be a Dark Urge Monk. I've still got to decide on the race and design, but I think I'll save that for launch day and play around in the CC until I like what I'm working with.
The Dark Urge just appeals to me so much, maybe its just where I'm at mentally or because of the characters I'm enjoying at this point in time, but the idea of someone wrestling with this inner darkness and the constant, draining battle against it... it'll either end with them finding people who help them control it and provide the support they need to keep it at bay OR it'll go pear-shaped and they'll be worse than ever :3
