This is so crazy to me because that is like the one place where you just objectively can't put ai. It wouldn't work. There's no way to make it work. Like fuck them for trying to put it anywhere in the pipeline at all but storyboards are the last place you would ever want it. I'm a firm believer that no matter where you put AI tech in art it's at best going to give you something mediocre and difficult to work with. It's just too much of a black box with too few direct controls. But there are some applications where I can at least see the argument. Background painting for animation is an amazing and complex art form but I can understand how you could use AI to get something mediocre but serviceable by generating a full render based on a sketch. Inbetweening is tedious and while I'm sure AI wouldn't hold a candle to a human for subtle acting I can see where someday you might be able to create a better version of auto-tweening that could handle more complex timing. Hell, clean up and coloring are both slow fiddly tedious processes that would make sense to cut corners on. Again I think cutting any of those jobs is a lazy and poorly thought out idea that you'd only pull if you're creatively bankrupt and only in it for the money but I can see how it would actually save money while still actually making something that resembles a show you could watch. But storyboarding is the one thing that this kind of statistical model will never be able to do. Statistical learning models cannot comprehend things, they don't know what a story is. They can't even tell a knock knock joke let alone a compelling story because they have no way of remembering the events that have happened in the story already or understanding that the pixels and words that they are assembling even relate to the concept of an event. They mash phrases and colors into something that vaguely resembles other stuff that they've been told contains keywords. That's it.
But you expect me to believe you're going to get one to understand enough film language to tell a compelling story over a thousand separate images while consistently keeping the characters believably in the same space and recognizable? And it's gonna do that faster than a person doing thirty second sketches? Nah. I don't buy it.
The amount of bullshit you have to do to convince the black box to put the correct character on the left side of the screen facing the right direction in one image would already be more work than doing rough thumbnails of the whole scene. There is so much specific problem solving that has to go into making a storyboard. We have a hundred years of highly specific cultural baggage that defines how we interpret films. No generative statistical training model will ever be able to do that because they are just not remotely capable of understanding what they're making. They aren't and can't be conscious entities with the ability to interpret meaning, no matter how many objects they can recognize or words they can predict would be likely to follow other words. At best you'll wind up with a jumble of blobs that vaguely resemble the compositions of other films thrown together in an order that makes no sense and some poor worker who you've demoted to a revisionist position will have to sort through them and try to turn them into something that makes any sense and it's going to be slower and worse than if you'd just paid someone to do it right the first time.
If this is true and there are executives who think this is going to happen, they're gonna have a bad wakeup call when they realize their expensive machines aren't capable of more than the visual equivalent of word salad.

Hired help (Underworld office x reader series)
Chapter 2:- The underworld office
Wanna see the full chapter list? Here you go!
A look of pure confusion and disbelief crosses your face. You frowned and opened your mouth slightly before closing it again. 
Underworld office? What is this guy saying? 
"You owe me and River a debt since we both saved your life. I understand this may seem a lot for you to take in, but it cannot be helped." Boss said as he walked towards you.
You shook your head and said, "I get that but what the hell is an underworld office? What do you guys do? If it's paperwork, sorry to disappoint but I am not the type of person you hire for that. And-"
"Pfft. If it involved paperwork, I would have refused to work on day one. " River interrupted. "But no. In the underworld office we help ghosts and stop monsters from wreaking havoc." 
"Well, I am still confused. Why do I have to pay you back? You make it sound like it is compulsory."
"It's because it is." River started, "How do I explain this?"
She tapped her foot on the ground and hummed quietly to herself. Boss looked at her and sighed. He really didn't like talking too much but unfortunately, your would only start asking more questions if you didn't get answers so, he decided to take the responsibility of explaining the rules to you.
Just as he was about to  explain, River perked up and clapped her hands. 
"I got it!" She said, with a big grin on her face. "Alright. So here is the thing, as you can see Boss and I are black in color. Well, I do have some white on me but that's not the point. The point is, the reason why we look like this is because we have done some 'bad things'. If we have too many misdeeds to pay back, we become monsters."
"Misdeeds? What actions qualify as misdeeds?" you asked, as you have a hard time processing everything she just said.
"Misdeeds include things like harming mortals."
A chill runs down your spine at that.
"Wait. You harm mortals?!" you questioned. 
"Relax. I only hurt bad mortals. As long as you don't hurt others, you're good in my books." she spoke as she waved her hand up and down. 
"Anyways, back to my explanation. Bad things aren't the only thing you have to look out for. When someone does something good or nice for you, they have to be paid back the same way. And saving someone's life, especially a mortal's, is extremely significant. That kind of kindness is best paid back when you are alive."
You nod your head slightly as you listen to her. It sucks that you can't walk out of this like you wanted to in the first place. So much for staying away and having to do nothing with them.
You take a minute to process and understand everything she just said. This feels so weird and unreal. 
Boss mentally thanks River for explaining everything. He gazes at you and sighs. You are now his new employee, making you his responsibility. What a chore. 
"Okay. So, about the office, where is it located? Are there working hours?" you asked.
"Nah. It's pretty chill. As for where it is, the underworld office is located at station 00 of the underground subway. Tell you what, we can take you there right now. Right?" River turned and asked the head of the office.
"It would not be a wise decision to leave their body here. I shall take them to the office. Stay here and watch over their body." He answered. 
"Aww... I wanted to come too. Oh well. You're the boss."
Boss walked towards you and lifted himself slightly from the ground. He held a hand out and asked, "Ready?"
He extended his hand to you and you took it. Raising your head and you nodded after which he started to lift the both of you lightly. You phazed through the roof of your house and before you knew it, you were floating in the sky. Looking down, you could see the streets of your city all lit up. Boss pulled you slowly as he flew south. 
After a while of flying, he stopped and started to descend, bringing you with him. Letting go of your hand he places both of his behind his back and starts walking. You quickly follow suit, not wanting to fall behind. 
Ahead of you is the entrance to the station River was talking about earlier. You see the shutter and remembered that this station was different from the others. Normally, it was the first station to close.No one really questioned it and just went along. So did you. 
Boss phazed through the shutter and slowly walked down the stairs and looked over his shoulder to check on you. You were right behind him and shot him a thumbs up. He turned and started heading for the attendants office. You looked around and noticed this station looked very.... lifeless? This was your first time here and this place had already started making you feel uneasy. 
You noticed Boss was way ahead and jogged to keep up with him. You suddenly remembered a question that you had been meaning to ask him. 
"How did you know my name? I am pretty sure I didn't tell you my name." 
"I caught a quick glimpse of your identity card on the teapoy. My apologies for intruding."
"Oh. Well, no need to apologize. I was just wondering."
The man hummed and stopped before the door of the office. He looked at you briefly and went through the door. 
You took a deep breath, closed your eyes and walked through the glass door. 
Once you made it through, you opened your eyes and took in the appearance of the office. It all seemed as lifeless as the outside. Well, this was slightly disappointing. But what caught your attention were the two people, other than boss, sitting on a bench.
An old lady and a....child? Wait a minute. What is a child doing here?
"Oh! A new friend!" the child exclaimed excitedly. 
He flew towards you with the most biggest smile you have ever seen a child have and asked, "Can we be friends?"

Hey, everyone.
If you saw the post from earlier, I had to delete it. There were things I forgot to discuss and things that didn't get saved into my drafts. Sorry if you have to see this again.
I've been WAITING to talk about Glee. Not in the good way either. There's so much wrong with the show, and it's sickening. Yes, I've watched the show last year. Against my will, but that's because of other people refusing to put on anything else besides Glee. I can say that I hate Glee with my entire being. (My initial reason for hating it was because they covered "SING" by My Chemical Romance and turned it into a slow, patriotic song when it's a song about rebellion. NOTHING about "SING" is patriotic. I hated the show since I first heard about it...for that very reason. I was like thirteen or so at the time when I first heard about Glee? Despite it being out since 2009.
Though it's been over for several years now, it's a show that many people have mixed feelings about. From what I've seen, you either love Glee or you absolutely hate it. There's no in-between that I've seen. (If you can't already tell, I hate the show.)
The show is a literal dumpster fire, the characters are all fucking awful people and all of them are poorly written, the script pisses me off, it literally makes me feel disgusting, and don't even get me started on the covers. Most of the covers aren't that good. A lot of them sound like nails on a chalkboard to me. The pacing of the show makes NO sense in certain areas (like when Blaine was initially made to be a grade above Kurt, but was then changed to be like the same grade as him so he'd stay). It just feels like everyone in the show is either a Mary Sue, a Gary Stu, their whole personality is just that they're from a minority group or they're EDGY AND HARDCORE DELINQUENTS BLEEEEHHHHH, creepy as fuck, bigoted as all hell, or they're just background characters who occasionally have the spotlight.
TW: The following post and any other posts that I'll make about this show contains subject matter that may be triggering for some audiences. It will go into subjects like racism, homophobia, ableism, outing of a person in the LGBT community, bigotry in general, statutory r@pe (between teachers and students), teachers being creepy towards students, mentioned past child m0l3stati0n and invalidation of the victim's trauma, making fun of su1c1d3, making fun of overdose, making fun of drug addiction....a lot of fucked up things.
If anything mentioned above is triggering for you, please feel free to scroll and consume safe media instead. I'd rather have you be safe than to be triggered by anything I'm gonna talk about.
Let's start off easy. The characters. It's easy to tear them apart. At least the most problematic ones.
Rachel, the Main Character™️, is textbook definition of a Mary Sue. Instead of calling her Rachel, I'm gonna call her Mary Sue for the whole post. She's almost completely perfect (like too perfect), her flaws are minor if anything, she gets all the special treatment....you get the picture. When Mary Sue does anything fucked up or she says anything fucked up, it either goes unnoticed, people make up excuses for her being a shitty person, or it gets twisted so it looks like Mary Sue is the hero! (I hate her. So much. I cannot stand her.)
Tumblr media
Aaawwww, Mary Sue didn't want some OTHER GIRL (Sunshine) to steal HER spotlight, so she SENT THIS GIRL TO A CRACK HOUSE. A FUCKING CRACK HOUSE, OF ALL PLACES. A PLACE WHERE THIS GIRL COULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN SERIOUS DANGER. THIS GIRL COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AT BEST AND KILLED AT WORST. Yes, I'm aware not all drug houses are the same, but still. It doesn't matter what this girl did. What Sunshine did is irrelevant. It's not okay to send people to strange places where they don't know anyone, and are put in danger, even to the point of either getting injured or killed. But it's okay, because at least it's not an "active" crack house you sent Sunshine to, RIGHT, Mary Sue? You still sent some poor girl to a place where she could have been put in serious danger, even to possibly get injured or killed, all because you didn't want her to steal YOUR spotlight. You fucking disgusting, entitled, bratty cunt. You don't need the spotlight all the time anyway. THAT'S HOW THEATRE WORKS. YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET THE LEAD ROLE. YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET THE ROLE YOU WANT. AND THAT'S OKAY. YOU WORK WITH WHAT YOU GOT. Sincerely, a theatre kid.
There are other fucked up things Mary Sue has done, but this is the one thing I could find anyone talking about. If I remember correctly, she hurt her Gay Best Friend™️ Kurt in some way. All I remember is that Kurt was mad at Mary Sue about something. Mary Sue is annoying as fuck. What else can I say about her?
Next, we have Finn, who's textbook definition of a Gary Stu. I'll call him Gary Stu throughout this post. I hate this fucker too. He's the Main Character's Boyfriend™️, the Hot Quarterback™️, and The Good Guy™️. Yet....he's not a good person. He's treated like he's a good person, but he's really not. His flaws are fairly minor and excused (and any major flaws aren't even talked about much), he's almost completely perfect, and every fucked up thing he does is ignored or is justified in some way. Like how he outed Santana as lesbian in the hallway WITHIN EARSHOT OF EVERYONE. HE DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR THIS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As a woman who has struggled with her sexuality growing up, this really brought back shit I went through. I "dated" boys when I was younger to cover up the fact that I'm only attracted to other women. I wasn't happy with these guys at all. I acted like I did so nobody would suspect anything. I felt nothing for them, except for in a platonic way. I've been outed twice. Once when I thought I was bisexual with a strong preference for other women (by my dad's girlfriend at the time), and when I came out as lesbian (by my brother). It sucks to be outed. The people who outed me in real life could have put me in danger. They could have made it so I had no place to go back to. They could have had me get hurt. It's a scary feeling. Like, it doesn't matter if you're supportive or if you're in the LGBT community. You don't fucking out people without their explicit permission. You especially don't out people to their abusers or to people they don't trust, let alone out them publicly. That's what happened to me. I don't wish this on anyone.
***By the way, for anyone who's closeted, you're valid, I love you, and I know how it feels to be stuck in the closet. You don't have to come out right now. Come out whenever you're ready to. Whenever it's safe for you to do so.***
Or how about the fact that Gary Stu made fun of Kurt's voice because he's gay? Gary Stu apparently has ✨anger issues✨ and that's pretty much the excuse they use to justify him doing fucked up shit to people.
They treat the characters who are from minority groups (i.e., BIPOC, AAPI, LGBT community, disabled people) like absolute garbage, put them through all this horrific shit, or they put them on a pedestal simply for being in a minority group. The teachers and other school staff are either written to be total bigots (Sue), or they're total pr3dators (Mr. Schue, the school nurse, and another teacher who I can't remember her name off the top of my head).
Sue pretty much only exists to be a poorly written villain who's a bigoted bitch just to be a bigoted bitch. Yes, there were some things she WAS right about (like how "Blurred Lines" wasn't an appropriate song choice for the Glee Club™️, but Mr. Schue The Pr3dator™️ downplayed it). Other than that...that's all I can think of. Because everything else that came out of her mouth was bigoted bullshit. Like these right here, for example:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or how she drugged the principal, date r@ped him, and blackmailed him?
Tumblr media
How about them making a tasteless joke about Sue committing su1c1d3 and having her "overdose" on multivitamin gummies?
Tumblr media
DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN HOW FUCKED UP ALL OF THIS IS? I do? Well, first of all, she called people racist, homophobic, ableist, and otherwise disgusting names. She boiled them down to their race, sexual orientation, their disability, and their appearance in general. Second, SHE DRUGGED, BLACKMAILED, AND DATE R@PED SOMEBODY. I don't think I need to explain how that's bad. The evidence is right there. Third, she said she was committing "sue-icide" by overdosing on multivitamin gummies. (Yes, you actually can OD on vitamins in supplement form, and it can cause serious symptoms and even death. Specifically with vitamins A, D, E, and K, and Iron. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. They're a lot harder to remove from the body. The B vitamins and vitamin C aren't as severe if you do OD on them because they're water-soluble, but still be careful. You can't OD on vitamins and minerals you find in food. If you take supplements, vitamins, etc., only take what's on the bottle.) As someone who has su1c1d@l thoughts on and off, this is extremely insulting. Yes, I do use humor and I joke about my own experiences to cope, but this? Nah. Nothing about this is funny or cute in the slightest. Enough said.
Tumblr media
Do I need to explain how fucking terrible it is to make light of a serious topic like this? It was never funny to see Britney Spears' mental health be at that low of a point in 2007. It was never funny to see the abuse the paparazzi inflicted on her. How the fuck was this ever okay? You can dislike Britney Spears all you want, but this was never it.
This is all I have for now. I'll probably make a part two because there are way too many things to talk about.

Revival(BNHA OC)
Chapter 4: Something Bad's About To Happen
Tumblr media
Keeping herself hidden from her villainous father, and studying to be a hero for the sake of her and her deceased mother, Sunako Homura pushes her way through countless challenges in her highschool years. Will she lose it all, or lose herself?
Story Genre: Fluff, Angst, Romance, Family/Comfort
Tags/Trigger Warnings: Gore/Blood, Suicidal attempts, Alcohol, Language, Panic Attacks
_______________________________________________
Everyone was silent, but looked at me with wide eyes.
"I KNEW IT! I knew you had to be something!", the smaller boy yelled, pointing at me.
"Something....?", I asked, sweatdropping.
"You're a girl....?", Kaminari asked surprised.
"Why are you wearing the male uniform?", Midoriya asked.
"Because, I've learned to hate skirts and dresses and frilly, unnecessary things like that.", I explain.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with what you like. If you don't like skirts and dresses, trust me, I don't either, but it's nothing wrong with that.", Jirou said.
I gave her a small smile. "Thanks."
"Well, why did you come dressing up as a guy in the first place...?", Kirishima asked.
I sighed, rubbing behind my neck. “Its...confidential. Let’s just say, I have Daddy Issues.”
I looked at everyone and some of them looked concerned, some of them even looked shocked.
Everyone got up at the sound of the lunch bell and Mina gave me a look as if to tell me, 'we'll talk about this later.'
I started to follow the rest of the girls until I got pulled back by Bakugou.
"Somehow you cease to surprise me so far.", he says with a glare.
"Should I take that as a bad thing?", I ask.
"Damn straight.", he says, letting me go and walks out.
I sighed and left for the cafeteria too.
As I got something from the vending machine, I thought back to everyone's faces.
I didn't mean to make them feel down... What a good way to start the year…
Right about the time I was gonna go see Mina, the alarm went off and panic rang out in the cafeteria.
What now....?
I headed out toward the exit, which led me to be practically drowning in a crowd of panicked teenagers.
It wasn’t long before I found myself partially pinned against a wall and being jerked around.
Right before I was gonna explode on someone's ass for thrashing me, I felt someone grab my arm and pull me hard through the crowd to a less dense area.
"You okay?", a familiar redhead asks.
He blocked me against the wall in a protective gesture, grunting every time someone bumped into him.
"Do you know what's going on?", I asked throughout all the yelling.
"It's just the press! Someone must've gotten in!", he yells.
I nodded. No wonder.
Iida somehow managed to get everyone to calm down and stop moving.
"Its over with....", I say. Kirishima backs away with a smile. "Yeah. Have you eaten yet?"
I shrug. "Just a bit before all the commotion." That made him frown a little. "Well a bit won't do. Gotta eat before training. Let's go.", he says, leading me to the cafeteria.
After the commotion with the press, I started to get a bad feeling...
"Hey, Kirishima....", I say walking behind him.
"Yeah?", he answered, looking back at me.
"What if it was actually a real villain using the press as a cover-up to get in...?"
He rubbed behind his neck. "Nah, I don't think they'd let us walk around if that happened."
"I guess so. I just got this weird feeling something's gonna happen.", I say. "Well don't jinx it", he jokes.
A few days later, we were assigned to go to USJ for a training exercise.
"Line up accordingly to your class seats. Fill them up in an orderly fashion." Iida waved in a weird way.
"Dude, chill.", I say. This class rep role is really serious to him...
He turned to the inside of the bus, much to his disappointment. "No...! It's that type!"
We all looked inside the bus and snickered at his disappointment. The front part of the bus had seats on both sides of it facing each other like two sofas.
I sat next to Kaminari as everyone else followed through.
I tuned in and out as Mina, Tsuyu, Kirishima, and Midoriya started talking about their quirks.
"I generally say what's on my mind, though... Midoriya," Tsuyu announces, making us all look at her.
"Your quirk reminds me of All Might.", she says and he flinches. Huh...now that I think about it...
"Now, hold on Tsu.", Kirishima says. "All Might doesn't get hurt by his quirk."
"Yeah, that's right.", Midoriya says.
"You got a flashy quirk, Midoriya. Mine on the other hand," Kirishima raises his arm and hardens it. "Not so much."
"Aw, don't say that Kiri. It's plenty useful. I like it because it makes you seem unbreakable!", I say with a smile.
He gives me a wide sharp tooth grin. Guess he's over the issue from yesterday.
"Now if you wanna talk flashy,", he points toward Bakugou and Todoroki. "Those guys are the best bet.", he turns to me. "I've yet to see your full quirk, Homura."
I looked out the window. "And it's gonna stay that way."
"Aw, c'mon! I wanna see how you work it.", he muses.
"Yeah!", Kaminari cheers on the side of me.
I shook my head fast. "Nope!"
"Well Bakugou could never be popular, not with that temper of his.", Tsuyu chimes in.
"What the fuck!? I'll kick your ass!", Bakugou yells.
"See?", she says pointing and making me laugh.
"Well, it makes sense. We just met you and we can already tell you got the personality of burned trash filled with sewage.", Kaminari says.
"Oh wow.", I snickered.
"Fuck you! I'm gonna make your life a living hell, you little shit!!", Bakugou yells, scaring Jirou.
"Bakugou, calm down!", I say laughing.
"I'll give you something to laugh at, you Spawn!", he threatens.
We all laughed until the bus came to a stop.
We stopped right in front of the USJ as Aizawa-sensei started to speak.
"This is a different part of training. Rescue.", he looked at all of us. "It's nothing serious compared to real natural disasters, just scenarios of what could happen. Uh, 13 explain."
Uraraka and Midoriya gasp in astonishment. "13....!"
The short astronaut suit came walking up to us. "Hey, you guys! 14, 15, 18, 19....21! Okay! So, welcome USJ!"
"In our super powered society, the use of quirks are heavily restricted and monitored. It may seem that our system is a stable one, but we must never forget that it takes only one wrong move and someone's dead.", he says.
With that, he led us inside.
"Holy crap, this is like an amusement park!", Kirishima exclaimed.
"As you may know, my power is Black Hole. I can suck up anything and it turns into dust.", 13 explains. "Just like your quirks, they do not exist to hurt people."
I grimaced. "Don't worry about it, Sunako.", I hear Tomohiro say, turning my head to see him by my side. “You’ve been quiet for a while.”, I say, making him chuckle.
"With that being said, be careful and have fun!"
Aizawa-sensei looked at us. "Alright, go in there and-"
I shivered. I got a bad feeling....
"Uh...is this part of the practice....?", Kirishima asks looking down, making everyone do the same.
"Villains...!", 13 yelled. I looked down to see multiple portals opening, giving a passageway to let them in.
I saw Aizawa pull out his goggles and put them over his head.
"Aizawa-sensei, you're gonna attack!? What about your quirk limit!?", Midoriya asks.
"A hero always has more than one trick up their sleeve. Huddle up and stay back! 13, protect the kids!", Aizawa yells, putting on his goggles and launches into action.
I looked down at a certain figure who stayed by the purple portal. He had hands all over him and even on his face.
"What's his problem....?", I whispered. "They're here for something. Keep your guard up.", Tomohiro says.
"We, the Villains Alliance, have only come for one person. The symbol of peace.", the blue haired figure said. "I wonder if he'll come if we just....kill these kids..."
"These guys are idiots...", I said.
Aizawa jumped to the villains and fought like they weren't nothing.
"We gotta go!!", Kaminari yelled.
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that."
I got a shiver again as a black purple mist appeared in front of us.
I knew something was gonna happen...
"I am Kurogiri...I apologize for the short notice. We took it upon ourselves to enter UA, the base of heroes."
We all stare up at the mist hearing the voice. "Was Mr. All Might not able to attend...?"
It moved and sighed. "That aside, this is my role.", I looked up to see Kirishima and Bakugou rushing toward the mist and attacked it.
"Bet you didn't expect us to do you in before you got the chance!", Kirishima exclaims.
"To be expected. The hero world's golden eggs."
"Run you two!", 13 shouts as the mist expanded and surrounded us.
I got pushed back and lit my hand on fire to see. What did we get ourselves into...!?
"Demon Brat!!", I heard Bakugou's voice and saw him reaching for me. I reached for him but ended up transporting somewhere.
I woke up in front of the Ruins Zone to hear chuckles behind me.
"Fresh meat....", countless villains muttered.
My eyebrow twitched in annoyance. I bared my fangs, changing my form into an Oni.
"If anyone's meat, it's you idiots. I'll give you a 5 second head start to leave before I kick your asses.", I snarled, my knees wobbling as I stood.
Some of them back up but they still stay.
"Brave motherfuckers, aren't you? Fine.", I say, smirking but it quickly falls into a glare, the atmosphere grew tense. "That was your mistake."
I stomped the ground making large layers of platforms rise and fall on to them. Thank god, we were around an area where I could use dirt.
I stalked toward the rest, they backed away in fear. "Aw, don't run now...we're just getting started."
They all paled and ran away. "Punks.", I slipped out of the form, turning back. I looked around for any of my classmates nearby but no one was.
"I gotta find someone....", I muttered. Then I hear rumbles and blasts from above and I sweatdropped.
"That's gotta be Bakugou.", I say and fly up the stairs.
"SAY GOODBYE!!", I ducked out of the way of a villain being thrown my way and looked at Bakugou and Kirishima panting heavily with many villains surrounded around their feet.
"You guys okay?", I asked, walking toward them.
"Homura!", Kirishima notices me with a smile, knocking a goon out.
"You don't have a single scratch on you, Demon Brat.", Bakugou says.
"They all ran.", I say, shrugging and touching his arm, letting the heat on my hand heal his scratches and did the same for Kirishima.
"Your power's amazing, Homura. It doesn't even burn.", Kirishima grins widely, making me smile.
"Thanks.", I say, looking around at all the goons.
"We gotta have a plan to get out of here.", Kirishima says.
"You idiots can do whatever you want, I'm going after that warpy bastard.", Bakugou says, walking away.
"Huh...!? Our attacks didn't do nothing against that guy!", Kirishima says.
"And you're going alone? I think you're the only idiot here, Bakagou.", I say.
He looked over his shoulder to glare at me. "What was that...?"
"I said you're an idiot. Do I need to say it a little slower? If you go by yourself, you'll get yourself killed.", I say.
"That's the thing!", he says turning to me. "That bastard was their way in and out. So, I'm taking him down first before anything."
I felt someone's presence behind him and felt off. "Uh..."
Before I could say anything, he sent a blast downwards and revealed a knocked out enemy.
"If they're sending in weak shits like this, there's no way we can lose.", he says.
He looks so calm... "He's reliable despite being a little shit." , Tatsuo says in approval.
"So, that's what you meant. Also, when'd you become so calm and rational....? Usually you're all," Kirishima made an impression of Bakugou. "Die! Die! Die!!"
"I'm always calm and rational, you shitty haired punk!!", Bakugou yelled.
"There he is.", I say smiling.
"Both of you, fuck off!", Bakugou says.
"Okay, so, what you're saying is you believe in our classmates. That's good thinking, and that's thinking like a man, Bakugou. I'm with you.", Kirishima says excitedly.
I sigh and smile. "I guess I am too. I just hope you know what you're doing, please."
I looked outside to the rest of the USJ area to see a big creature holding a bloody Aizawa down.
I tensed and gasped softly as Kirishima put his hand on my shoulder. "You okay...?"
I just pointed down to the sight. "These sick sonuvabitches are gonna die....!", I hear Tatsuo growl.
They widened their eyes and backed away from the window.
I backed away and walked out the area and back to the middle of USJ.
"You got a plan...?", Bakugou asked.
I turned to him. "Just do what you normally do."
He just grinned widely, but that expression dropped as soon as we looked up to the entrance. And in the entrance stood All Might. He's... frowning? "Have no fear. Because I am here."
"I had a bad feeling in my stomach while I rested, but to think it was this bad....", he says coming down the stairs.
"I heard from young Iida that there were villains. But, it's all right now. Because I am here."
He rips off his tie and it flutters to the ground.
He came toward the fallen Aizawa and picked him up, carrying Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta away from the villains.
After ordering them to get Aizawa, All Might attacks the creature, doing a German suplex on it.
I saw how bad All Might was getting hurt and how Midoriya was rushing towards him.
"Get ready to fly.", I say to the two in front of me.
"Uh, what?"
I stomped the ground, launching them both toward the fight but they went in different ways.
I saw Midoriya reaching for the blue haired villain, but missed as Bakugou got in his way.
"Get the hell out of my way, Deku!!"
Bakugou attacked Kurogiri when Kirishima missed.
"Damn you!!", the hand villain exclaimed and I glared at him.
"I almost had him!", Kirishima yells after missing the villain.
I saw that part of that creature's body was covered in ice and I looked to my right seeing Todoroki.
"Fancy seeing you here.", I say.
"Likewise," he replied and looked toward the villain. "I heard about you bastards' plan and each of your roles. Also a scheme to kill All Might. The symbol of peace won't go down as easy as you fools."
"You guys made a big mistake.", I say smiling.
"Let's just kill them!", Tatsuo says. Let's not do that.
That being said, All Might pried himself out of the creature's hold and dashed away.
"You pinned down our revolving door..."
"This prick was never that sharp! That metal clasp you got on your body, you used to get all misty and shit just got sealed, you sneaky fuck!" Bakugou exclaims with a grin.
"That attack was never dangerous, was it? You just used that as a decoy to hide the real body!"
Kurogiri moves a little but stops as Bakugou uses small explosions on him.
"Don't you move!", Bakugou chuckles glaring down at Kurogiri. "You move so much as a twitch and I'll blow your ass up so bad that they'll be piecing you back together for weeks."
"Not very heroic, bro.", Kirishima grinned nervously.
"You've got us cornered....I have to hand it to these kids nowadays. At this point, the Villains Alliance will be a laughing stock.", the villain turns to the broken creature.
"Nomu, take care of Explosion Boy for me...."
I widened my eyes as Nomu regenerates its own body and goes after Bakugou.
"Bakugou!!", I yell, running towards it but I ended up right next to Bakugou who was also on the ground.
"You're okay...wait, how'd you get here?", I asked.
"I don't fuckin' know.", he says still on the ground, probably in shock.
I look back to see All Might had taken a hit from Nomu.
"Are you crazy...? Have you no mercy...? These are children.", All Might says.
"Mercy....?", the hand villain looks over to us and points at Midoriya. "That plain looking boy almost killed me but I need to give mercy!? Who gets to decide what's right or wrong...? Society! And that's what irritates me. You're the symbol of peace....? You gotta be kidding me. You're just the same. You’re only here for your kicks."
"That's enough.", I say.
"It's a 6 vs. 3.", Todoroki says.
"No! You all need to leave.", All Might says.
"No can do, All Might. Can't be heroes if we just left you here.", I say.
"Yeah and you're bleeding!", Midoriya said.
"If I hadn't froze that monster, you would've most likely died.", Todoroki interjected.
"It's fine.", All Might insisted.
"Fine, let's settle this! Nomu, you go after All Might. I've got the children.", the hand villain says running towards us.
I started walking toward the hand villain but Bakugou pulled me back.
Dammit, Bakugou!
My eyes illuminated a bright scarlet color and I shot a fiery blast toward the villain.
"Dammit, Brat!!", Bakugou shouted at me avoiding the heat.
"You're the boss, right?", I ask looking at the villain. "I'll just take you down first!!", I yell running towards him, feeling myself change into a form of an Oni.
I sent a roundhouse kick toward the hand villain's face, making it collide with the hand on his face. He fell to the ground and touched my leg.
I yelled in pain after seeing the aftermath of what remained of my leg.
My pant leg torn and my calf broken and bleeding out.
I got knocked over by the sudden blast of air because of how hard All Might and Nomu were fighting.
I pulled two metal rods from the ground and threw it at the villain but missed due to All Might's fighting.
With all this air and wind going everywhere, there's no telling where my blasts could go....
"Plus....ULTRA!!!", All Might yells, finally getting rid of Nomu.
"Alright!!", I exclaimed but felt a burning sensation on my shoulder and hip.
"I told you to keep your guard up!", Tomohiro yells in my head.
I saw that the villain had his hands on me and my skin broken, leaving muscle showing. I felt an overwhelming feeling of numbness as I fell to the ground.
"You bastard!!!", I heard Bakugou's voice and gunshots before passing out from the numbing pain.
I woke up to loud, slow beeping and looked around to see that I was in a different area.
I'm in the hospital....? No... Its the nurse's office...
I looked over to my right to see Kirishima asleep in two chairs, slumped over.
"You're finally awake.", I see Tomohiro walk over to my bed.
"Yeah....", I say, startling Recovery Girl.
"You're awake."
"How long have I been out...?"
I sounded so hoarse, it hurt to even try to talk.
"6 hours. Your wounds closed up quickly." she said.
I nodded and looked over to see the sleeping duo.
"He carried you in here.", the elder woman said, pointing to a sleeping Kirishima.
"Really...?", I asked.
As expected of Kirishima to do that, but why...?
That was kinda hard to believe. "The boy's... chivalrous...", Tatsuo says, appearing at my side.
Just then, the said boy stirred and woke up.
Kirishima jumps awake and looks at me. "How're you feeling!?"
"Like I've been walking in a desert for hours. I'm dying.", I hoarse.
Recovery Girl brings me water and I sit up to down it dry.
"What about you? Is All Might okay? Is everyone okay?", I asked.
"Everyone's doing fine. Well, Midoriya still has to let his legs heal and Aizawa-sensei... he's still healing too but everyone's fine.", Kirishima says.
"Good...", I rasp, staring up at the ceiling.
He frowned a bit in worry. "Do you think you can move?"
I winced and looked at my hip that had a small scar on it.
Still sensitive... "That villain wasn't any ordinary villain.", Tatsuo says.
I shook my head. "I'm sorry I worried you."
You guys too, I should've been more careful.
"Don't worry about it.", Tomohiro says as Tatsuo grunts in agreement.
"No biggie. Just get better so we can train again!", Kirishima says with a sharp tooth smile.
I smiled back at him and got out of the bed, wincing again and gripping on to the bed sheets.
"My leg...my shoulder and hip hurts. Great.", I mutter.
"Hm...", Kirishima hums. He turns around, crouching in front of my feet. "Get on."
"Kirishima-"
"No complaints. It wouldn't be very manly of me if I let you walk home hurt, so get on.", he says.
I sighed and got on his back, careful to not hurt his back.
I held on tight as he got me right and took my bag, carrying it under me as he walked me out of the nurse's office, getting me home.

Jac & Amelia
Jac: How was your first day? Amelia: 🥱😴 Amelia: What about you? Jac: Oh dear, it was a lot more observing rather than doing I suppose, but I kind of expected that, if you want to get experience somewhere that isn't willing to just let anyone come in and do a shift so Jac: You'll never guess who was on my placement too though Amelia: Connor following you there wouldn't surprise me Amelia: he can't take a hint Jac: Thankfully not Jac: Swerving him during school is basically an extra-curricular Jac: I suppose it isn't all that surprising when you think about it, but I still was taken aback by the turn of events Amelia: thrill me Amelia: who is it? Jac: Savannah Moore Amelia: oh god, that sucks Amelia: if you don't wanna change placements, we'll make her Amelia: it'll be okay Jac: That's the surprising thing Jac: she was like, a different person Amelia: like really fake, you mean? Jac: No, like, a normal person Jac: maybe because she was away from her friends, her audience, or I don't know Jac: but she was just getting on with her work too, being chill about the whole thing Amelia: 🤔 suspicious Jac: Well, you can't say anything Jac: but why would you Jac: she's having like, a really hard time at home right now, she was a bit upset at one point Jac: it just broke the ice, and it makes a lot of things make sense Amelia: did it or did she throw you off with a convincing 😥💔 story? Jac: She was having a breakdown in the toilets basically Jac: I don't think she wanted anyone to see that, least of all me Jac: we knew her dad was like A LOT anyway, it tracks Amelia: it's Savannah, she wants everyone to see everything, especially you Jac: Come on, what would she even get out of tricking me with a sobstory Jac: bar work experience not being a total drama, which surely she'd love more, by that logic? Amelia: your attention Jac: 🤔🤔 I just don't see it this time Jac: I can't explain how sincere it was, what she said Jac: it definitely wasn't made up, at any rate Amelia: if you believe her, I believe you Jac: Like, I'm not saying we were wrong Jac: but too harsh, maybe Jac: we don't need to waste any energy on being her enemy or whatever Jac: not that we were ever THAT childish but, she really isn't that bad Amelia: I can be a bit harsh Jac: You're a softie, really Jac: but I'm not going to spill all your secrets to her Amelia: it's not a secret that I missed you today Jac: Was it seriously that boring? 😞 Jac: Who are you with again, anyone not awful? Amelia: yeah Amelia: my 🧠 has turned to mush Amelia: they put with with Valentina Hernández, I've had detention with her before Jac: You poor thing Jac: we'll have to do something fun when this is over, if you're going to hate it so much Jac: and I'll keep to a minimum how much I'm enjoying getting some industry experience 🤐 Jac: Oh yeah, she's cute Jac: I don't have many classes with her, but I know who you mean Amelia: she said I look like her ex, do you think that means she hates me or I'm her eye candy of choice for the next week? Amelia: can't we do something fun tonight!? Jac: How weird Jac: sounds like a really bad pickup-line a 40-year-old man would use Jac: Guess you'll see what she meant Jac: That's not going to make your early start tomorrow any easier, is it Amelia: I'm already planning to sleep through my alarm Amelia: and Is is up for it Jac: I'm totally wiped Jac: and trying to save you from yourself 😉 Jac: Is can make her own poor choices Amelia: vodka redbulls were invented to change wiped to wired Amelia: you know she'll get drunk and throw herself at some boy, that's what you'll be saving me from Amelia: dark corners are no fun when I'm being left in them on my own Jac: so I can be hungover tomorrow Jac: if she is tricking me, I'm going to need ALL my wits about me Jac: maybe Val will come and keep you company Amelia: and if she's as nice as you say, she can pick up the slack Amelia: please come Jac: Are we talking about a house party or a club or what, you've not even told me 😅 Jac: also, you know I don't want to drop anything, I need to ace this Amelia: it's a club you'll love Amelia: so you won't have to drink loads to have fun anyway Jac: If Is or any of her conquests have picked it I SO doubt that 😏 Amelia: I picked it in case you needed cheering up but it works for a pat on the back too Jac: Okay, I'll see what the parents say Amelia: if they look like they're leaning towards no, it could've been me having a breakdown in the toilets Jac: I'll tell them you'll be heartbroken Amelia: the truth works too Jac: they're not that understanding so I wouldn't hold your breath Jac: I'll corner one of them when they get in though Amelia: more understanding than mine, not to be Savannah-ish about it Jac: I assume you will be sneaking out, as per Jac: or staying over one of ours to catch up with your work Amelia: 😏 Jac: 🙄 how you ever get away with it when your mother knows everything about everyone is beyond me Jac: if you applied yourself, you could be seriously impressive Amelia: could be? Amelia: you just said I am Amelia: she knows everything about me that I want her to know Jac: duh Jac: gotta give you something to aim for though Amelia: oooh a challenge Jac: I know how you feel about them Amelia: unless it's going to be something about applying myself this week Jac: am I a teacher? Amelia: you've taught me loads like why would I waste my energy buckling down with Valentina 📠 when I could spend it doing something that isn't 🥱😴 with you Jac: You have a point Jac: or, I do? 😂 Jac: and I can come out for a while, but I need to be home to get at least 5 hours sleep minimum Amelia: can I stay or does Jude still need 15 hours minimum? Jac: if you keep the noise down and promise to talk less than her Amelia: I'll be so 🤫🤐 Jac: another person at mine in the AM makes no odds Jac: but I will be leaving extra early, FYI Amelia: why? Jac: Mainly because I want to get there on time Jac: but also because Savannah said she'd bring breakfast, as I listened to her when she was upset today so Amelia: bribery is her style 🤑 Jac: I guess so Jac: but it'd be rude of me not to accept any coffee or pastries she wants to throw my way Amelia: what if they're toxic Jac: You're giving her too much credit now Jac: she isn't going to have the time to poison them AND not be late Amelia: she's probably baking them right now, what else are her and her invisible mum going to do to bond? Jac: You're the one that takes home ec 🍳 Amelia: yeah and if you wanted me to kill her, all you had to do was ask Jac: Feel free to note my silence any time you like 😏 Jac: What are you wearing, how smart/casual is this place? Amelia: [pictures of potential outfits on the bed so she can see the vibe] Amelia: which one will you break your vow of silence for? Jac: You know I love that colour [hi khaki moment] Amelia: 😉 Amelia: if you want to know what Is is wearing, the group chat is full of her maybes Jac: I am purposely ignoring that notification 🙄😑 Jac: like yeah, I'm probably going to wear my black tank dress again but the difference is, I'm not pretending it's getting any crazier Amelia: it got her to shut up about all the 'hotties' at the sports centre that she got to 'service' today Amelia: 😣 Jac: Ew Jac: she's so graphic sometimes Jac: it's a good thing she has her reputation tbh if those are her lines Amelia: this is before a drink too Amelia: I need you, I wasn't even laying it on thick Jac: God, she is a lot Jac: hopefully one of them asks her out, she's at least less gross when she's in a relationship Amelia: 🤞 Jac: I do need to plan my outfits for the rest of work experience though Amelia: god, I can imagine what Savannah looked like today Jac: Right? Jac: She was so on point Amelia: for a stepford wife Amelia: it's unsettling Amelia: her mum probably stays invisible because she takes the clothes off her back Jac: Come on, she looks good Amelia: so would I in head to toe chanel Jac: Exactly Jac: so I need to keep up so I don't look like a scrub Amelia: you don't have to try as hard as her, that's the difference Amelia: you actually look good Amelia: not just expensive Jac: You're biased but I love you for it Amelia: you could ask anyone in our year and they'd tell you the same thing Amelia: even her boyfriend would probably want to agree with me Jac: I doubt his eyes ever leave her, they're totally inseparable aren't they Amelia: it sounds like you'll be getting all the gossip Amelia: you'll be able to tell me everything by Friday Jac: not that that has any real use now Amelia: maybe or maybe not Jac: ?? Amelia: we've got loads of school left, you can't say never Amelia: today could've been a weird fluke Jac: Nah, it was a total ceasefire if nothing else Jac: it's not like a feud Jac: Oh my God, what is that skirt she just posted Amelia: okay Amelia: 😳 on her behalf Jac: should I tell her to wear it? Amelia: yeah 😂 Jac: 😏 Amelia: what are you wearing though? Jac: my lbd 😂 Jac: I don't know if it's classic or predictable but if nothing else, I can say this was short notice Amelia: if I couldn't predict you I'd be worried Jac: but you love a challenge 🤔 Amelia: but I love the way things are Jac: see, so soft and soppy Jac: nothing has changed yet Jac: still think transition year is pointless 🤷 Amelia: your 🧠 didn't turn to mush Jac: it might Jac: I just wanna pick all our new classes and get started Jac: but it is cool we get to do stuff like this, I suppose Amelia: you just want to find out if Savannah will be in every single class again Jac: 🙄 Amelia: [like I'm gonna say she was joking then but now the posts have appeared so it's like oh you actually do and she leaves her on read which I cannot overstate how much that would NEVER happen because she always answers immediately no matter what] Jac: Hello? Jac: are you picking me up? Amelia: are you ready? Jac: you aren't talking to Isabelle Jac: of course I am Amelia: nothing she's saying needs a reply Jac: 'Fashionably' late is her vibe Amelia: yeah I know, Is hasn't changed since I met her Jac: Like that's a good thing? Amelia: I wouldn't go as far as to call her perfect or anything Amelia: but at least I get her Jac: Funny, Meels Amelia: like totally weird, that kind of funny Jac: You are being weird Amelia: that isn't even a worthy deflection Jac: What do you wanna say? Jac: It's just a post Amelia: I've never heard you describe anything as perfect, what are you saying? Jac: Did you see her post? Amelia: yeah, it's obvious why you're tired Amelia: I was exhausted reading it Jac: Well I couldn't just say nothing in return, could I Amelia: I never caption anything, it's easy Jac: you're a girl of few words Amelia: why does she think she knows you on such a 'deep level' now? Amelia: you said she was the one who overshared Jac: You know her friends Jac: Paige G and Becca Jac: I doubt they do 'deep' Jac: it's just in comparison Amelia: I know you, there's things you aren't telling me Jac: like what, I told her all my secrets Jac: if you know me then you know there's no way that's true Amelia: then you're keeping hers Jac: No I'm not, I told you, it's her home life Jac: and I'm sure she doesn't want everyone to know so I shouldn't but I did Amelia: okay Jac: You don't like her, you don't have to Jac: but don't be off with me Amelia: neither did you yesterday Amelia: but now you're going to [whatever that market location was] together Jac: She needed cheering up Jac: and I was going to go anyway, my last bouquet was dead Jac: it's not a big deal Amelia: it was so chill you weren't going to say anything before she outted you with a post Amelia: obviously Jac: I didn't say anything 'cos I didn't think you'd be bothered Jac: it's not your thing Amelia: right, why would it be news that you've changed your entire POV on Savannah Moore Jac: Well I told you about that Jac: scroll up Amelia: it's one thing putting up with someone during work experience, which is what you said Amelia: do you see me taking Valentina out when we're allowed to leave? No, because it'd be totally weird Jac: Why would that be weird? Amelia: we're not friends, I barely know her Jac: you're free to get to know her Jac: you may as well Jac: like I said, it's totally childish having some kind of grudge against her Amelia: it's too late to invite them both Jac: so you want to?

Breaking Dawn (2008)
Tumblr media
So, I've reviewed the other Twilight Saga books already, but I promiss you, this is gonna be the worst one yet. I must admit, as a 13-year-old girl this was my favorite book (don't kill me yet). I was growing up in a Dutch small Christian town that had had a big infuence on my views. In my mind, it was perfectly logical that the story ends with a child against all odd. As a grown-up Biomedical scientist, this does not go anymore. As such, I now view Breaking Dawm as the absolute worst one yet and here, I will tell you exactly why.
Breaking Dawn is a big fat book that consists of three different books. I will discuss the books seperately in fear that it might be too much otherwise.
Part I from Bella's point of view
It's no surprise that I actually do like this book. We get 6 chapters of sheer happiness and joy. Very much Edward/Bella intimacy and they finally have sex (woohoo). So what can I bitch about?
Well, actually not too much. I loved the wedding, the secret goodbyes (yes, I cried). I just believe that after the first 6 chapters Bella should have struggled with the decission to change instead of the pregnancy. Yes, Chapter 7 is the cursed chapter for me. It's the onset of all pending misery. Also, it is the first time that menstruations are mentioned and the weak excuse SM gave to explain the never-having-killed-her-due-to-smelling-period-blood on Edwards part is just that, weak. So, all-in-all, I hated this chapter but what comes after is exceedingly worse.
Part II from Jacob's point of view
I hate Jacob. That much hasn't changed. I hated the cold Jacob that is so prominent here very very much. Personal sun my ass. I have always loathed this POV but it offers us some interesting views on the wolves and the Quileute people. It was good to see the communication between the wolves, but it was also nonsense. The big difference between you can't hide what you think and thinking in directed full sentences became a blurry line that never really made sense to me. What was good about it, is that we saw how pure Seth's mind is and how deeply hurt and actually good Leah is. Seth, a mere teenager, is objectively one of the purest characters I have ever read and that's on that. The faint influence of the coming Gen Z was shimmering through in his defiance of made boundaries in communication: Seth saw the good in the Cullens and defied his tribes prejudice. Good for him. Leah, of course, is one of the most denied characters in the series. Such a fierce young woman that has suffered so much is the only character that does not get redemption. It is absolutely outrageous and I agree with many that it shows SMs prejudice against women of colour. She gets literally nothing. She stands on her own in a group of men that mock her for her guard as she has to suffer through knowing her ex's love for his new love. Then, of course, she cannot have children and she gets no love interests. To through all these (in SMs mind) limitations only at one of the few POC is not great. I do like the fact that Leah and Jacob become closer and that Leah cares most for Seth. It's not enough, though. Leah should have gotten the trip to go to college somewhere far away, paid for by the Cullens out of sheer gratitude. She should have everything and all but through Bella's (read: SMs) mind she is still depicted as sad, lonely and bitter. To show a woman's anger like that is straight up misogynistic. Great start.
Jacob's story skips so many valuable parts of Bella's story, which we have been focussing on until now, and it makes so little sense that Jacob would be there for all the important interactions.
In Jacob's part, some shocking facts become clear. As a biomedical scientist, I have been holding back the outrageousness of this one: the chromosomes.
Vampires are frozen in time; after the change, their bodies don't change anymore. They also don't grow new or longer hairs, new teeth, anything. They are frozen in time. Curiously, they still have a need to feed (blood) and their consumption influences four things: their thirst, the colour of their eyes, their strength and their behaviour. I will tell you why this makes absolutely no sense. In humans, we feed for much the same reasons: we don't get hungry, we stay alive, become stronger and we are nicer when we aren'r hungry. This influence is exerted by the distribution of food molecules throughout the body; to the brain, to the muscles, the organs, you name it. Vampires don't have blood, their distribution of food molecules would be so slow that it would take days if not weeks for the molecules to get to the eyes or the brain. We know vampires aren't mushy inside to increase the distribution so how does it work? It eludes me, I'll tell you. Also, every part of the vampire body is supposed to be solid. Where does the liqud from the blood go? A human averagely holds 5 litres of blood. That is a lot. And since the body doesn't change, where does the liquid go? Aside from the distribution, it makes even less sense that any of these factors should be influenced by anything at all. It is likely that vampires still have cells, their bodies still need to create impulses, movements, talk etc. But their bodies don't changes anymore, so after the change the cells stop producing hair molecules? Why don't the hairs drop anymore? It is so dumb that SM suggested a certain balance between the actiond that continue and actions that don't. We still move the muscles but they can't grow anymore but the cells in the muscle stay active?? This brings me to the chromosomes.
So, Carlisle has tested human, vampire and werewolf (without consent) blood. He found that vampires have 25 chromosome pairs, werewolves 24 and humans 23 chromosome pairs. His findings and his tone suggest that he attributes all the vampire qualities to the 2 extra chromosomes. Now, with everything that I have just explained, I see no possiblity behind that. The venom of a vampire just adds two pairs of chromosomes to your cells? One from your mother and one from your dad? And then, these chromosomes are able to pinpoint exactly with genes to silence and which to activate and that is enough to make your skin hard as granite? No way. The body makes strong pieces, but still the strongest is the teeth. Strong but not as strong as SM thinks.
All-in-all this science is straight up the biggest fucking bullshit I have ever seen. There is just no logic behind the logic SM gave. It doesn't stop here, though. No. I am 100% convinced that SM has not had any sex talk ever in her life. She started with Edward's 100-year-old sperm being vital enough to produce a baby. This sperm is saved at approxomately the temperature of a rock/as cold as ice. This is far far far too high a temperature to preserve sperm cells for long, let alone a 100 years. So, No. No, again. Then, Edward's dick is magically able to get hard without any liquids in the body? No. And THEN, his human sperm cells (human but also vampire?) are able to make a zygote with Bella's egg cell??? A zygote with 24 (!!!) chromosome pairs???? So, it's one of each of Bella's, one of each of Edward's and then just one of the two vampire pairs?????? No. Nah-ah.
I haven't been this vocal about any of my other issues, including racism and other forms of discrimination. Somehow, I have accepted that these concepts come from very well-preserved ideas and I can plainly discuss this matter. However, the pain Stephenie Meyer has put me through as a scientist is still very unknown to me and it annoys me to the core.
I suppose, while I'm on the matter, I should address the elephant in the room. Resumé. Renesue is the embodiment of everything Bella didn't need. The book should have ended before the pregnancy. A story of a woman that found a love in a vampire and she needed nothing else in her life but him. This was the story we were promissed. And then, SM takes her turn to make the last non-conservative woman in the book a mother (her being a mother will come later).
In conclusion, this part stretched every nerve in my body and made me cringe so hard I felt sick.
Part III from Bella's point of view
I'm not gonna lie, I have been pretty dark about the last part. But I LOVE Bella as a vampire. The tranquil chapters where she learns everything about being a vampire made me confident I wanted to be one. I loved Bella more confident and comfortable. I loved the new ease between Bella and Edward. Tranquil, as I said.
Of course, these chapters are overshadowed in part by Rususme. I don't mind the child. It seems nice enough - SM made it pure. But Bella is not a very caring mother. She meets her daugther and then, both Edward and her really don't mind her. They have no urge to be with her and have no trouble letting her go. They go have sex the whole night instead of looking at Relsume's dreams. Then, there is the fact that all tense and loaden discussions are held in the presence of the exceptionally perceiving child. Edward can SEE that she understands tensions. It's so fucking dumb. It really bothered me the last time I read it, maybe because I've matured or maybe because I didn't really care the first time.
When it comes to the final battle approaching, I enjoyed that. I loved Alice's plan. I like the Volturi and their grand dramatic scheming and such. I loved the new characters very much. I think they added a whole new demension to the story. I would have been there for Edward and Bella traveling around the world meeting these people with the oncoming thread of genocide for a child as well though. Of course, the racism is back. The Amazonian and Egyptian vampires are so blatantly racistly described. In that aspect, the movie deserves way more credit for giving us the straight up prettiest actors ever to cover this.
Wrongness continues as Jacob imprints (as the second wolf) in an infant. I know some people see no issue with this. SM tried to make it clear that it was just about her happiness by letting Edward see that Jacob wasn't thinking sexually about his equivalent-of-a-three-year-old child. I mean. Looking at this logically, it's disgusting and there is no changing my mind. Personally, I feel Jacob could have imprinted on any other female character (with the exception of Leah). For all I care it was a 35-year-old woman. But, reversed pedophilia (Jacob was still underage) isn't fun for SM so she sticks with what she knows.
I think I have adressed my most important issues. Please inform me if I've missed any. As usual, I urge you to inform yourself on the Quileut Tribe as it is and donate to them for SM has wronged and exploited them.
The Quileute Tribe
Information:
Donation:
TLDR: I curse Stephenie Meyer for creating that incredibly stupid child as a way to project Jacob's love to something of Bella. Please inform yourself on the Quileute Tribe and donate to them via the links above; SM has wronged them.
As a final note, I am a biomedical scientist at heart. I am always interested in a challenging topic, so fire away.

In the midst of
Who would have thought that in the midst of nowhere, you will find treasure and a person at the same time.
People​ will say that it's hard to find treasure that may mean so much to your life. Especially in college, where you people are diverse in nature that no one will ever make time to know you and delve to your life or will give a f*cking damn about you. People tend to find person and things as someone/thing that will gonna satisfy their wants or that will even out their expectations or someone that will be useful for them. That's the thinking of people that they only see you as one if you have beneficial factors.
Tumblr media
But it's not gold or silver that I found but a pure soul. Pure soul that isn't complete as mine, isn't perfect as mine and isn't healed as mine but the good thing about that is everything. Why would a person think to be with someone who is broke as hers, when the word is telling people to be with someone who will gonna complete them.
The pure soul - that treasure is the person beside me, I've never been this kind of myself to someone (excluding 3-4 years ago) and yeah I do not want to elaborate those but am I this blessed to found someone like you?
We aren't even super friends on the first days, I even hate how you talk to me because you're so hard and harsh. Until one day I found my self locked on your hands (because Im a clingy friend I'm no bi ppl) and that's the start of how we share words and all with each other. I know that we're just sharing thoughts and things only a half of them, as what you've told me the last time of our talk. Still I am so privileged to be with you and share your soul with me because like what you've said, you have never been with someone whom you talk to like that. And I am thankful to be that person.
I always tell you that you're "walang kwenta" but nah just want to tell you that, you mean so much to my life in just a span of almost 5 months. I've never treasured someone just what I am doing right now and I will never get tired of putting you in my heart (how sweet of me) because the truth is you are already. I thank you for being the salbabida while Im drowning in my own tears and thoughts, thanks for the hugs, the pats and the kisses. I'm such a dramatic person, I have anxiety and all, especially to goodbyes. Thanks for telling me the words that secures my thought and heart, that I will never be alone in this chaotic world.
I don't know if I am being selfish but I don't want you to go ms. though after years and years and years we cannot change the fact that the time will come we'll separate our ways. I hope that I will be in your heart when that time comes, don't you dare forget my beautiful face, this is one of a kind. You are cold as stone before, but I am forseeing that as we share college life together you're being the purest person I've ever bumped into.
Your soul is one of a kind, your soul is beautiful, your soul is imperfectly perfect. You always came out strong but I know there are soft spots in your heart (tho u used to tell me you don't have a heart). And I'm always here to understand those soft spots and your complexities, hear your stories and share the genuine emotions (if one day we will feel this). Don't you ever forget that you are for keeps, as I am to you like what you've said. You are always in my system dear. I know this sounds corny, but if this is corny I can make popcorns just to tell you how grateful I am to be trapped with someone like you. I always tell that the Lord is too amazing to give you the best person in life who will be with you to wander around in this world full of uncertainties. That person is you. I know we both have battles to fight but I'm always here to fight with you. It's not you birthday or anything I just to write this to express how thankful I am. Even though these imperfect words and the most astonishing grammars and vocabularies can't describe what I am feeling now.
In the middle of nowhere, I feel alive again.
Love you always sorry for my tears hehe.
