Help Stop A Law That Helps Domestic Abusers

Help Stop a Law that Helps Domestic Abusers

https://chng.it/ffXFHvSwsL

From the petition page:

According to current Virginia law—unless the abuser agrees to a no-fault divorce—victims of domestic abuse are not eligible to be granted a divorce where their spouse has been guilty of “cruelty, caused reasonable apprehension of bodily hurt, or willfully deserted or abandoned” them until one full year from the date of such act. Even if a victim is physically separated from their spouse, during this time period, they can still be subjected to psychological, emotional, and financial abuse.

My Parasyte Maxim Review

I finished PM a few days ago and had a great time watching it. I practically binged the second half of it.

Almost every aspect of the show was great, especially the protagonist. Shinichi was one of best protagonist I’ve seen so far. His path of losing and finding his humanity intrigued me. I think the only problems I had was the last two episodes and the female characters. But these are minor issues compared to the great things the anime did.

I didn’t care much for the last two episodes because I didn’t have much of a connection or intrigue with the villains. People say the villain has to be somewhat as good as the protagonist and Gotou and Uragami weren’t as great characters as Shinichi. The episodes were still good but not as much as some previous episodes.

Next issue was the female characters. I don’t know what I expected from Satomi Murano, Shinichi’s love interest, but I found her kind of bland and her constantly asking Shinichi if he was himself got annoying after a few times. I understand the symbolism, yet it still irked me for a while. Kana was another girl I didn’t like too much. Her obsession with Shinichi and ignoring the dangers of her “gift” was irksome. Her stalking also made me uncomfortable. Though I still felt bad when she died. Lastly, Yuko’s decision to confront Hideo instead of telling her brother what was going on added a bad taste in my mouth for a while. That action felt so out of character since Yuko was being smart when putting the pieces together that Hideo was a parasite. I have to take a break from the show after that episode.

Overall, with minor issues, I consider PM as one of the best anime I’ve watched. It was perfect, though really close.

Thoughts on S4 so Far? + Mine

I have this weird relationship with S4. The writing has improved and I’m glad that the original characters are getting attention, but this season still feels somewhat off to me.

I guess I’m still apprehensive about how the show is handling the characters. More of them are being added like M’gann’s sister and Onyxx when we already have so many more characters that were added on the previous two seasons. The show still feels congested.

Another thing that might be bothering me is Greg Weissman saying that there can be 3 more seasons for the show and that the characters’ stories never end. I really like Young Justice but I don’t think it needs 3 more seasons. The story, plot twists, and characters will get bland at some point like the ‘find the traitor’ plot point. I’m glad the writers didn’t keep this idea going on for the whole season but the trope is kind of stale right now since it’s been used so many times.

Maybe I’m nervous to love this season because of the underlying issues still being around.

Feel free to mention your thoughts.

How old is Miyamoto Usagi? was a recurring crossover character in the 2003 series

It’s tough to know since it’s never mentioned in the show, but I headcanon Usagi’s age being 17-18 during his first appearance.

My Ranking of The Encanto Soundtrack(From Most to Least Favorite)

*The Encanto soundtrack is great and there is no song I dislike*

Here is my ranking:

1. We Don’t Talk About Bruno

I know it’s a pretty basic favorite but I don’t care. I love the music and the different singing styles. Plus, it introduced me to the movie. I heard about how popular this song and I listened to the audio and got hooked. My favorite parts are Dolores and Camilo’s, they are unique and great.

2. Surface Pressure

As someone who has anxiety issues and feels constant pressure, this song really resonated with me. The lyrics were also really, and I got sort of emotional near the end. Jessica Darrow does a great job singing this song.

3. Waiting on a Miracle

I also struggle with feeling out of place in my family so Waiting on a Miracle hit me hard in the feels. I don’t have a lot to say other than I relate to the lyrics and the desperation in Mirabel’s voice to make her family proud.

4. Colombia, Mi Encanto

This song gives me such nostalgia on the good times I had with my grandmother when I was little. And the beat is just so infectious.

5. What Else Can I Do?

Now we are at part of the list where I don’t particularly love the songs.

I don’t know why but I don’t feel much for this song even though it is well produced and the lyrics are good. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Isabella that much. She was a good character but I had trouble connecting with her troubles, especially when the way she was handling it was being mean towards Mirabel. I think I would’ve been more forgiving towards her if a reason for her anger towards Mirabel was addressed and that Isabella’s development was not so rushed.

6. The Family Madrigal

Weirdly enough, I’m not in love with the musical numbers that don’t focus on a specific character. I guess with We Don’t Talk About Bruno is like an ensemble song but the main focus was Bruno. The Family Madrigal is a great song for introducing all the characters in a fun way though I wouldn’t listen to it as much.

7. Dos Oruguitas

I’m not a Spanish speaker so it’s hard for me to connect with this song since it’s all in Spanish. Though, it fits perfectly with the corresponding scene, and I got pretty emotional the first time I saw the scene.

8. All of You

Like The Family Madrigal, I didn’t love All of You because it was an ensemble song. There were some parts are enjoyed like Bruno’s little rap and the small cute moments between the family. Mirabel finally getting a door was so sweet though.

Overall, this is a really cute ending song!
