I want Karen to beat the shit out of someone. Like, either self defense or towards someone thar actually deserves it. Let my lady kick some ass please Kibuishi she deserves it, especially after being either a damsel in distress or being just a side character that doesn't do much in the story. She did try to hit someone once with a frying pan but unfortunately she isn't Rapunzel so she didn't even have a chance to win.
Please, I wanna see her use a cool mecha robot like Navin did and I want to see her backstory with David and her early years. Maybe she also used to be a gamer like Navin was and he inherited her gaming skills while Emily inherited her perseverance. I want to see her being a Karen towards people that think children should be enlisted in fighting wars because holy shit why did those people put children in ships and let them die what the fuck what that about. Also why wasn't she written like that anyways, she's supposed to be a mother yet she lets Emily and Navin join a war and doesn't seem to help them much with the grief of losing her husband (I actually realised this part when I was looking at the Amulet characters tv tropes' page)
I feel like she's been done dirty and I want her character to have some justice. In fact I want all the other side characters to have some justice. I'll probably rant about how the other amulet characters were done so done badly
Omg the nostalgia
Best Pixar short?
the big fucking bird that sat on the powerlines and fucking killed all those nasty tiny little shit bitch birds who were mean to him
Loni? Roni? Nah, your mommy
Hate Loni and Roni’s names so I have convinced myself to believe that they are both nicknames for longer, much cooler traditional Elven names. I get they are twin characters but the rhyming, similar sounding names makes them seem so juvenile and non-serious ðŸ˜
I'm Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a time of unimaginable hardship. I am 26 years old, married to Ashraf Ismail, who is 32, and together we have three beautiful children: Hussein, 6, Rajaa, 5, and Youssef, just 10 months old. Our lives have been turned upside down by the devastating war in Gaza, and we desperately need your help.
My daughter Rajaa is a radiant beam of sunshine, bringing boundless joy, warmth, and love to everyone she meets.
On a dark night at the beginning of the war, our area was subjected to massive bombing. The explosions reached our home, forcing us to flee into the night, running amidst periodic explosions and searching for survival. We made our way to southern Gaza by morning, seeking refuge in Rafah.
This is our home, filled with our memories and moments of joy and happiness, now reduced to rubble. Its destruction shattered our hearts.
In Rafah, we found shelter in a crowded warehouse filled with strangers, all of us struggling to find basic necessities like food, water, safety, and cleanliness. Despite these challenges, we were again hit by direct bombardment. My husband was injured in the shoulder, and the scene around us was filled with blood and corpses. The cries of my children in those moments still echo in my head.
A fragment of what it once was, and now, what it has become.
We moved several times to places described as safe, only to face new tragedies. During this period, my precious daughter Raja contracted hepatitis, adding to our suffering.
It was incredibly difficult for me to endure these disasters, especially as I was in the process of giving birth. Youssef was deprived of proper breastfeeding and the necessary nutrition for his age. Hussein's right to education and a safe childhood have been cruelly taken from him.
My baby Youssef, whom I clung to throughout the war, running with him through the rubble of shattered homes to escape.
At an age when Hussein should have been enjoying his childhood, all his rights were taken away from him.
Please, consider helping us during this critical time. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and a chance to rebuild our lives.
reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
I remember I drew some Emily redesigns but I got too lazy to color them so they're just blank for now. Imagine that most of the color palette is in warmer colors. Also please ignore the unnecessary drawings I totally didn't do those parts
The Sci-fi subplot in Amulet feels kind of dislocated with the rest of the story. It's hard to describe properly, but imagine baking a cake, you wanted to add tomatoes to the cake but you forgot to add them during the mixing process, so instead you use tomato sauce as the frosting for it and now it tastes like an evil pizza because you also added cheese on top. That's like the main story and the subplot together, not the best mix.
It's probably just me but, I feel like the robots and stuff in the later books tend to feel like they're from another story. At least the early books had more of a steam punk feel in the world building and such but later it feels like advanced technology just popped out of nowhere. It feels less like a fantasy story with a few elements to make it It's own thing and more of a mess of genres from magic, to tech, to a bunch of aliens and stuff.
It feels so disorganized to me, and I'm not really the best critic but I feel like they shouldn't have even had that many Sci-fi elements in the first place. The alternate world, old robots, and steampunk like style to some parts of the story would've been enough. I don't know, I'm probably just rambling here but the Sci-fi parts just feels awkward to me, especially with the already established fantasy setting. I'm not saying that Sci-fi and Fantasy genres don't mix well, they can go well together in fact, but when you don't add the ingredients properly the final product will come out unsatisfying.
In conclusion, I feel like it was either wasted potential or nowhere near potential when it came to the Sci-fi stuff
Haha nerd (yes please)
Anyone wanna hear me nerd out about the Micheal bay Transformers movies?
No, okay.
At least they aren't stealing any sources... because they don't have any
