Personal Vent?

Personal vent?

I really liked Spider-Man:Across the spiderverse, but a particular scene stuck with me.

The scene in which Miles is being chased around Nueva York and Peter B., talking about his daughter Mayday, tells him;

You are the reason I had her, okay? I thought that if I did a decent job raising her, there was a chance she was gonna turn out like you. And that got me excited because you are a wonderful person, and I like being around you.

A person I admire in my personal life has already told me that he would like his daughter to turn out like me.

So basically,I have been told that I am a good example for younger children. And that parents would like to have their children be like me.

But no one ever told me they actually like me.

Now, I don't expect the exact words of Peter B. but it would be nice to know if I am liked or even likable as a person.

Spiderman kinda got me questioning my character integrity haha

Can't wait for the next one, though.

Just finished watching Yuri on ice, and I am sure someone has already addressed this, but I wanna talk about it.

So, the music that Victor chooses to choreograph for Yurio and Yuri is "On love:Agape" and "On love:Eros" respectively.

Both Agape and Eros are greek words, and as a Greek, I feel as though the definition we are given does not do them justice.

AGAPE

We are told that agape is "unconditional love", but in Greek, agape literally means love.

The meaning the greeks give to agape is "A feeling of liking affection or friendship as well as its expression in words or actions"

Its etymology is even more interesting. The majority of researchers agree that it has two parts: 1st, the adverb "ἄγαν" which means "a lot of" 2nd, the theme "-πω" which means "protect/conserve" So etymologically agape is the overwhelming need to protect something that one sincerely cares about.

Combining the two can put the entire meaning of agape into words, but I think that authentic agape can not be verbalized.

EROS

When Victor explains the musical choices he made, he says that eros is "sexual attraction". But I find it a little bit shallow.

The greeks say that eros is "A carnal attraction of one person to another along with intense desire or love and excessive devotion"

Etymology-wise, eros is derived from the ancient Greek verb "ἔραμαι/ἐράω-ἐρῶ" which in modern Greek means "λαχταρώ/ποθώ". Both the verbs translate to "crave" the latter being more intense.

Eros was also the name of the God of love and sex, son of Aphrodite , godess of beauty. Consequently, making Eros something devine and flawlessly beautiful.

Putting all this information together, eros goes far deeper than just sexual attraction and is a gift from the Gods of Olympus.

Sincerely, a Greek who felt a tad bit underrepresented

There is no way non-homophobic Nagireo deniers are real.

If you don't think Nagi and Reo are a thing, either you are homophobic and hate to see boys happy together or the reading comprehension devil has gotten to you.

I am going to pull panels directly from the manga (both the Blue lock manga and Episode Nagi manga) and I am going to escalate the gayness as I go.

1. Here, we have Reo realizing his feelings for Nagi and being vocal and completely clear about it.

2. Then, we have Reo calling Nagi his treasure and also being ridiculously possessive for no reason.

And also him openly admiting that he only has eyes for Nagi.

3. Then we have Chigiri and his choice of words when talking about the relationship between Nagi and Reo (and also Reos reaction to them). Mind you, he has seen them together for just 90' and some spare moments here and there in the startum if we are being generous.

4. Just Nagi openly admitting that him and Reo are partners. (Also, this happened twice, but there is a limit on pictures in a single post, so I am not putting it here.)

5. We also have Reo thinking about how football was what got him and Nagi together. And since if it weren't for it, they wouldn't be a thing, he concludes that they should live together ( just the logical next step, you know). And they were roommates

6. Then there is Reo straight up proposing to Nagi. Not even an exaggeration, he fell on one knee and held out his candy apple.

Bonus:

Reo's face when Nagi and he were being separated in the second stage.

And Reo's face when him and Nagi were just together in his room. This boy has nothing but love in his eyes. Find you someone who looks at you the way Reo looks at Nagi.

Did Gege fumble the end of the fight? Maybe a little bit.

But can we just let this be Disney kaisen? We have absolutely suffered enough as a fan base.

Just let Yuji and Yuta make it out alive, and I will be satisfied (not really).

Someone tried convincing me that Yuji can talk no jutsu Sukuna in his domain for jujutsu kaisen to have a "happy" ending.

I wish bro, I wish.

But then you have this panel...

No hope.

Rewatching Avatar the last Airbender and realized just how justifiably angry katara was.

She was angry he mother died.

She was angry her father left them to fight in a war.

She was angry that her contributions to the tribe were not appreciated.

She was angry she was the only water bender left in her tribe.

She was angry she had to teach herself water bending.

She was angry that a little boy immediately picked up what took her years to master.

She was angry that she had to travel across the world to get a bending master who would dismiss her.
