I Finished Carry On Today And It Left Me With Some Thoughts About Putting Ourselves In Boxes.

I finished Carry On today and it left me with some thoughts about putting ourselves in boxes.

Simon was never supposed to be that powerful. His magic was, frankly, an abomination that the world couldn’t support. It was not his fault however, his father was a psychopath.

He was the Chosen One. A term that has been rehashed over and over again. He was supposed to save the Magickal world, but he wasn’t made for it. He didn’t have the pieces and parts needed. The Mage says he was cracked and flawed. But he was only cracked and flawed because he was going against his true nature, and being shoved into a box that he couldn’t fit in.

This is where I apply this. If Simon hadn’t been shoved into this box by the Magickal world, maybe things would have turned out better. Ebb wouldn’t have died in his steed, he would have probably broken up with Agatha sooner, and would maybe be able to plan a future. But he was shoved into a box that prevented him from seeing that.

We can’t try to fit into things that simply weren’t made for us. It doesn’t work, even in our normal lives without magic. We have to be our authentic selves, the person that we try our best to hide from this world, so we and the people around us can be exactly as our nature says.

So what are we all thinking about the newest Camp Camp episode? I have pros and cons:

Cons:

Obviously the voices are weird, Max sounds like he is trying to hard and Gwen sounded… not like Gwen.

The line “because somebody fucking has too” didn’t work as well because of the random whistles. Maybe there’s an uncensored version out there, it isn’t a kids series so don’t make it one.

Pros:

I loved the Max and David hike, as they were realizing that they had to embrace the good and bad, and just wish for more good.

Nostalgia from old episodes was great.

Gwen got a new (possibly worthwhile) job! But I really really hope it doesn’t work out. She’s my favorite character. Like, good for her, but what about me?

The scene with the photos Max took that mirrored the intro had me sobbing. It was so sweet and a great way to show how his perspective changed on the camp.

Anyways, pure nostalgia bait episode but it was good enough that I loved it. A lot of people on YouTube didn’t seem to like it, so I decided to put my thoughts here.

I just finished a manga I was reading too fast… I didn’t realize that I only had about 10 chapters left when I started to read tonight… now what do I do…

I try to find a deeper meaning and metaphor in everything…

To me, in the Carry On trilogy, Magic represents the true self.

Bitches be like: ‘I’m so tired, I’m going to bed extra early tonight’ only to cry for 3 hours about a fictional octopus dying.

It’s me, I’m bitches.

What the Fairy Tail members do in their down time headcannons

Lucy tries to work on her book, but if she gets writer block you can find her wandering around Magnolia, looking for inspiration.

Natsu works out. He has a lot of energy and always needs to be doing something. At the very least he is too distracted to start fights and cause property damages.

Gray likes to read. There wasn’t a lot in terms of entertainment in Ur’s cabin, so he read a lot as a kid. He likes adventure books.

Erza loves shopping. There’s a reason she rents out 5 rooms at Fairy Hills! (To hold all her stuff). It stems from having nothing as a kid. She sees being able to buy what she wants as validation she has ‘made it’ in life.

Wendy likes to cook. It isn’t uncommon to see her and the Strauss siblings cooking behind the bar. Carla likes to sit near her and tries to help.
