Someone give me answers on why the vampires can’t cry someone who’s a science person give me the reason !!!
I was curious about this too, so I looked into it and it’s actually really interesting. While it may seem like an arbitrary choice that wasn’t well thought out on the part of the author, it turns out it wasn’t a choice! Stephenie Meyer just doesn’t have a brain with which she could think things through even if she wanted to.
I want to read a story about a wizard whose only spell is “fix this”, but the specially-crafted magic takes their intent into account. "Fix this" can mean repairing the wheel on the adventurers’ cart or healing a broken arm or “fixing” a lock so that it’s in what the wizard considers the “correct” (unlocked) position. Imagine the other mages getting increasingly frustrated as the wizard stubbornly refuses to learn any other spells.
Wizard: *points at a canyon* Fix this
Other casters: That’s not really how spells –
Wizard: Oh look, one of our blankets is now a magic carpet. Guess we don’t need a bridge.
Casters: How –
Wizard: *points at logs that won’t catch fire* Fix this
Other casters: There’s been too much rain, it won’t –
Wizard: I fixed it so that it’s in the same state it was yesterday. Someone here knows how to start a fire, right?
Casters: What –
Wizard: *points at charging dragon*: Fix this
Other casters: THAT’S NOT HOW MAGIC WORKS YOU IDIOT WE’RE GOING TO DIE
Dragon: *coughs* Did you just… cure my intestinal problems? I’ve been trying to stop breathing fire for weeks, but it just kept spilling out, and every time I tried to ask for help, I burned everything down. I won’t forget this kindness.
Casters: *ripping their hair out* H O W
I’m dying 😂👌
Over in the astral plane, the powerful spirit who’s been assigned to babysit the wizard is giggling hysterically. Two years ago, when this whole thing started, they thought it was a waste of time: Lady, really? Your kid wants to be a wizard despite having no powers, so you’re contracting with me to invisibly follow them around and do the magic for them?
One year ago, they’d admitted to themselves that the kid might not be the sharpest athame in the ritual, but finding creative ways to apply their “spell” was kind of entertaining.
These days…they’re starting to suspect the kid knows exactly how their “magic” works, and what the two of them really have here is a silent partnership to troll every caster they meet into gibbering fits of confusion.
As U.S. President, George H.W. Bush, among other things, cut AIDS research funding, banned HIV-Positive people from entering the country, encouraged “behavioral change” to the exclusion of comprehensive sexual education, and extended/expanded many of the murderous AIDS policies of Ronald Reagan, for whom Bush served as Vice President. By the end of 1993, over 194,000 HIV/AIDS related deaths had been reported in the United States. Approximately 133,000 of which were during Bush’s one term as President. Between 1987 and 1992, the median age at death among men in the United States that died from HIV/AIDS related causes was 38; among women the median age was 34. George H.W. Bush died November 30th 2018 at the age of 94. May he rot in Hell alongside Ronald Reagan! 🖕
what is the purpose of the lion king remake. its the same damn movie animated in 3d with realistic animals instead of 2d. what can cgi convey that 2d cant in the story of the lion king? what new thing does this bring to the story? how does it improve on it? it doesnt. both this and the jungle book are just worse ways to tell the original stories due to the limits of realistic animal facial structures and movement. we all need to stop falling for disneys new trick of just remaking Everything to profit off of your nostalgia while not taking any risks. all of hollywood is currently in this era where everything is a remake sequel or adaptation bc its riskless easy money. i find it hard to count all the original stories that came out in the past few years, and this lion king remake truly feels like the worst insult yet. i beg you all to not support these movies no matter who stars in them or how good they are, we cant just let studios be lazy and uninspired and turn away original stories to profit off of people by selling us what we already know and love over and over again
They said “live action remake” so that means either you get real lions and do it Homeward Bound style or you put cat ears on Beyonce, not this bullshit
