"A Curious Visitor From Sea."

So, there has been some talk about how a show like the Acolyte can have a viewership rating of 11 million in a week and is considered a failure while a show like HBO’s the Penquin can have barely half of that and is proclaimed a success. As far as I know, the Acolyte has still been able to do quite well, even in the wake of its cancellation. The show has managed to hit some major top ten lists and is still up there on Disney+ list of most watched. Or, last I knew anyway, it’s possible that might have changed, as is inevitable. But, I have to ask myself, what is it exactly do streaming platforms want out of their audiences? This goes for Netflix and Amazon as well. As an audience member for the Acolyte, I watched the show, I geeked out over it on line and I did my best to contribute to its trending by using the appropriate hashtags. I know I wasn’t alone in all of that. Yet the show is cancelled anyway. Yet these platforms still want our attention. But how can platforms still expect our attention when, speaking for myself, I am more disinclined than ever to get invested in any new media, especially Star Wars. I have no plans the watch Skeleton Crew nor do I care for any future movies. If Acolyte had not been cancelled, I would have been willing to, at the very least, give any future projects a fair shake. That’s all I’m really trying to say. Everyone, have a good night.

"Silco was the worst leader of Zaun, he only hurt his own people and was useless/didn't care about zaun"

Zaun under Vander: Submissive to Piltover, trampled and harrassed by enforcers, stuck in oppression and making zero progress even as his own children had to steal to survive.

Firelights: Fairly small group (some of whom are literal children) that are nonviolent, can't even stop Silco much less Piltover, and have no plans beyond stopping shimmer.

Zaun under Chembarons: Utter chaos, turf wars, Zaunites fighting each other while getting trampled and gassed by Piltover.

Zaun under Sevika: Needs a 17 year old girl to bring unity since their leader can't, sides with and makes sacrifices for Piltover only to be met with a single council seat in a majority-rule council made up entirely of topsiders and no independence in return.

Zaun under Silco: Innovations in medicine, fuel, and body augmentation; has thriving industries, cleaner air and water, and an army of chemsoldiers. Enforcers are driven out and Zaun is now strong enough to destroy Piltover before the innovations of hextech. Even with hextech Zaun is powerful enough to devastate Piltover to the point that war isn't even worth the damage. Silco's Zaun was even offered independence, which it would have gained if Silco was willing to give up his daughter.

Unlike Silco, the chembarons did not care about Zaun, and they did nothing beneficial for it. Sevika, the Firelights, and Vander all tried more peaceful means only for Piltover to spit in their faces.

As inhumane as Silco's methods were, they were easily the most effective. Silco was right that to gain independence violence was necessary, that they had to become what Topside feared.

I'm not the same that I was!!! 🌺💪🍒

LET ME BE YOUR MOMMY EMI😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖

I couldn't forget to do emi too,she's the real angel!!

if we define “good dad” by genuinely wanting what’s best for your kid, loving and caring for them unconditionally, being patient with them, making them feel valued, giving them the space to express themselves, encouraging their talents, and genuinely trying your best and doing what you think is best for them, then Silco was a good dad.

But if we define “good dad” by actually being able to properly parent and discipline your child, ensuring they aren’t a danger to themselves and others, teaching them healthy life lessons so that they can grow, not projecting your own unresolved trauma onto your child in a codependent way, and being a good role model, then Silco was NOT a good dad.

Anya would be the kind of child to warn her parents about something school related the night before the deadline.

It'll be 9PM and she will turn to Loid like "Dad, I need cardboard and cotton for a school project tomorrow morning."

And Loid would reply "okay, I'll buy your cardb- TOMORROW?!"

Cue Loid walking around the city at night to find cardboard so his child won't get a tonitrus.
