LOKI ISN'T A VILLAIN!--But he's not a hero either...and neither are 98% of people

Well, this oughta be good. (I'm so tired of making these posts but I got into an argument with my dad.) SPOILERS FOR THOR MOVIES AND INFINITY WAR TRAILER.)  A true villain is someone who usually doesn't care about anyone but themselves and will stop at nothing. A true hero is basically the opposite. And the truth is that most of us are somewhere in the middle--like Loki.  Ten reasons Loki isn't a villain--or a hero in no particular order...3,2,1...LOKI!  #10: IF HE WASN'T CONFLICTED, HE WOULD'VE KILLED THOR A LONG TIME AGO   I think this one is pretty obvious. Yes, he may be the god of mischief and not death, but most truly evil figures (true villains) including historical rulers usually have their family killed...to get to the throne. Yes, he's not as strong as Thor, but he's cunning enough to definitely set something up.  #9 IF HE REALLY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE FATE OF THOR AND ASGARD, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST STAY ON SACAAR--OR DESERT ON THE SPACE...

A DISCUSSION OF NEUTRALITY--WHY DARK NEUTRAL CHARACTER ARE THE MOST INTERESTING

(SORRY ABOUT OVERLONG TITLE OF LAST POST. I ALSO GOT TIRED OF RANTING ABOUT POLITICAL CRAP SO IF YOU'RE RIGHT WING YOU CAN SORT OF READ ME NOW, LOL.) Messing with fonts way too much, lol, this is handsdown my new favourite.  Character discussions are always weird, because a lot of people have that one Darth Vader, Bellatrix Lestrange, or otherwise depressingly evil loving friend, who is always like "I love her soooo much," (The character is blatantly evil and killing everyone without mercy, and some people find this cool somehow. I mean, I recognize the badassery, but seriously? How is mass murder without mercy okay now?  But the many girls who swoon over the Luke Skywalkers and Harry Potters aren't much better, are they? (Yes, I used to be one of those people.) But seriously though. Those characters happen to be well fleshed-out, to the point where we understand their motives, and they do mess up on occasion. These characters are usually purely light charact...

WHY PEOPLE LIKE LOKI--SIBLING RIVALRY--ENVY--FEELING CAST-AWAY--YOU MATTER SO MUCH--MY OPINION

Yeah, I changed my username for this, mostly to avoid controversy with my previous username. But wait, isn't this controversial? Lol. But this isn't funny tho. It isn't. It's dead serious. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO FAMILY DYNAMIC, YOU FEEL UNWANTED OR DEPRESSED, YOU ARE A YOUNGEST CHILD, OR YOU ARE ADOPTED, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THIS GETS HEAVY. ALSO SPOILERS FOR THOR MOVIES, DUH.  I had a pretty good childhood. I'm an only child, so I was (not so thankfully) spoiled, and always given ULTIMATE ATTENTION from my parents. Well, that got epic. But anyway. Why does everyone like the villain and not the hero? Why is there no Thor love? Not that I particularly love Thor anyway, but I'm making a point. Most people who like a franchise (well, before Kylo Ren happened) usually like the good guys and hate the bad guys. That's usually how stuff works.  I think the main reason, people like Loki, is because he is relatable and (ironically) human. And Tho...

VIDEOGAMES--DANGEROUS FOR YOUR KIDS??!!??

Video games. One of the most controversial topics of our time. One of the things that get parents constantly scratching their heads, wondering how their kids got into this mess, and how they can save them before it's too late. But don't worry. I'm here to clear some things up.  With the media blowing up over violence of late, video games have received a lot of unnecessary hate. I'm here to clear a few things up for parents.  NEWS OUTLETS BLOW THINGS OUT OF PROPORTION. Please keep this in mind when you consider this. Are games really responsible for mass murder? And why is it, that the very same people who say guns are not the problem, only violent people, are blaming video games? Yes, there have been numerous incidents of health related deaths due to 50 hour sessions of gameplay, but these situations are rare, and often occur in young, unemployed adults, outside of their parents' supervision. There have also been many deaths linked between playing games and real...

EMBARRASSING CONFESSIONS!

In no particular order, here we go! I never cry over movies, but I bawled at the end of La La Land. My OCD brain finds something oddly appealing about authoritarian communism. I'm not saying I support it, just that there's a tiny part of me who wouldn't mind time traveling back and living in the USSR. I'm not really that authoritarian though ;). To me it just feels like a fantasy novel, and you want to live there, until you do (a la Hunger Games or Harry Potter). In a similar vein a part of me always wanted to be a hippie. No, seriously. Like a real, honest-to-goodness hippie. Here's me in my John Lennon costume from last Halloween, lol. I love dill pickles. Plain. I used to be a swiftie, and I still bop to "Shake it Off". I can't eat certain cheese, Kraft macaroni, cake frosting, scrambled eggs, etc. I just can't do it without wanting to gag. And that's not an ew I don't like it, that's I literally can't. I am a HUGE...

I GOT SICK!~SCARY EXPERIENCE

Image
After talking to a bunch of people I had picked up on the fact that you don't want to live in Western Pennsylvania right now. Everyone and their great-grandmother is being hit by the same horrible flu strain, regardless of whether or not they had their flu shots, and that people have actually died from this(!!) To be fair, they were all over sixty and must have had some other complications, but scary nonetheless. So I was just chilling (I'd gotten my flu shot about six weeks earlier) and was waiting to get picked up to go to my friends' house on Monday, and I realized that I had a sore throat and a drip. I thought it was the fluctuating weather, because in Western PA it's not uncommon for it to go between 20 and 60 degrees in a day, so I went on to my friends' for my routine Monday afternoon stay.  I helped the ten-year-old girl surprise her therapist, and I pet the cat, and felt increasingly more gross. I had gotten up at six-thirty for school, and I was feeling...
