'Irredeemable media' is such a funny concept to me because it's never used for stuff like Birth of a Nation or A Serbian Film. It's always The Owl House or My Hero Academia because these people only watch things for children and can't stand any conflict more complex than Super Mario Brothers.
it’s so lovely that chilchuck is both the girls’ bedtime stuffed teddy bear & he just puts up with it because he’s a girl dad first and a moody rogue second
I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot
April 28, 2024 - An unintentionally funny video by a zionist propagandist shows off some good organisation and discipline at the UCLA encampment for Palestine.
i am NOT gaslighting you. i am lying to you. gaslighting implies a level of effort that i am simply not putting in. deceiving you does not require much
At least half of all posts where people comment "this website's userbase is aging" have me going like. Actually I definitely had a favorite stove burner by the time I was eight at the absolute latest. Not sure how you avoided that aspect of the human experience. Did you grow up with a butler or something.
Luffy would make the Orphean trip to the underworld to save any of his crew, but he would also fail. Not due to any lack of willpower or any failure of courage, but because right near the surface the ghost would whisper "hey, Luffy?" and he'd turn around with a huge smile like "yeah? :D" and then there would be a comedy beat and then he'd realize what he just did and start yelling.
After that he would also go all the way back down and annoy Hades into giving him another shot, fail again, annoy Hades again, and rinse lather repeat until Hades simply bans the Straw Hats from the underworld forever (unintentionally rendering the entire crew immortal).
Zoro would succeed the Orphean quest for any of the Straw Hats, it wouldn't even be hard, although he would get so lost on the way out of the underworld that the seductive voices that were trying to entice him to turn around instead start giving him step by step directions out of pity and exasperation.
Sanji would waver for a second when the voice of a beautiful woman liltingly entices him from behind, but he would hold strong and keep walking, crying and grinding his teeth the entire time.
Chopper would fail, he's too gullible and too scared, he's just a child and should never be burdened to do this, and Usopp has like a 50/50 chance depending on which Straw Hat he's rescuing. I don't think he would ever fail for Chopper, but for Luffy... well, he'd figure Luffy can probably find a way out of the underworld on his own and leg it once things get too scary (he would be right. Luffy has a knack for escaping underworlds.)
Jinbei would fail because he would hear the footsteps behind him fall into silence, and he would think Hades has betrayed him, kidnapped the soul of his crewmate, abused his power like the Celestial Dragons do, and he would immediately turn to fight Hades to the death for the insult.
Nami would have a long chat with Persephone and she'd show them a secret passageway out and keep it quiet from Hades. Brook would perform a melody so fucking catchy and earwormy that Hades lets them go in return for an autograph.
As for Robin... I think she'd end up wandering even DEEPER into the underworld to look at the interesting architecture in Tartarus, talk to the shades and souls, learn a lot of embarrassing secrets about the gods, and use them to blackmail Hades into letting, like, a lot of people go.
