I Know I'm A Bit Late To Saying This But Frankly If I Found Out A Secret Society Of Magic-users Were

Still can't recover from this by the way.

"Oh, this idiot behind me? Who thinks he's funny? Yeah that's my man."

:(

Hot take, but cis people have gender identities. They aren't the gender they identify as because of their genitalia or what their birth certificate says. They're only cis because they identify with a gender and it happens to match their government documentation. Cis men aren't men because they're "obviously" men for having a penis. They're men because they identify as men. It's the self-identification that dictates this, not any other factor, even for cis folks. And we should be framing it this way. A cis man identifies as a man and a cis woman identifies as a woman. There is no automatic or inherent gender.

"Honestly, Octavia didn't deserve to be hated. She's been emotionally neglected by her father, and she had every right to be mad at her. I can't believe Brandon (Blitzø's voice actor) called Octavia a "fucking" cockblock. Why would you say that to an emotionally neglected teenager whose father abandoned her for an imp? It feels absolutely wrong. I wish Octavia was in a better position than this."

oh my god

I'm not diagnosed yet but I'm suspecting myself of it so I'll try this !!

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

miss J really said forced close proximity, (corporate) arranged marriage, love triangle (?), fake death, hit post and send

Here are my thoughts on this.

I found that particular scene interesting because of how Geto shut Gojo out. We can compare how he interacted with Gojo to how he interacted with Ieri.

With her he was completely chill, he had no issue telling her about how he'd massacre all non-sorcerers, I feel like he'd have no problem telling anyone else that (if they weren't actively trying to arrest him). He willingly answers her questions.

But when Gojo confronts him? It's "you already heard about it". Geto loves talking about his vision. Why not with Gojo?

I would argue Gojo isn't that good of a person, well yes, that scene about him is understandable, but he also did mention how he's frustrated of protecting the weak. And in Shibuya, he opens his domain while knowing it'd endanger everyone. Plus, Gojo's reasoning for not approving of Geto's goal is not because it's bad. In that scene, Gojo reasoned that "it's impossible". Not "it's wrong", "it's bad" or "it's evil", no, "it's impossible."

And even in that scene, Gojo asked Geto if he should massacre everyone, had Geto said yes, Gojo would've wiped out everything. He trusted Geto to the point he'd allow himself to become a mass murderer because of his judgement.

If Geto had persuaded Gojo, then they could've succeeded.

But Geto made zero effort to even recruit Gojo, with his power Geto's vision for a sorcerer-only world would easily succeed. He just pushed Gojo away.

I think that's because Gojo would be doing most of the killing, so all crimes would mainly target him. And we know Geto really loved Gojo, his vision is something he'd willingly sacrifice his life for, but not Gojo's.

You know what is FOUL?!

The fact that Geto told Gojo, "Well, you know, you could do it!" Excuse me??? No the fuck he couldn't!!! Gojo could never do that. Would never do that. Sure, there was that one time that Gojo asked him "Should we kill everyone here?" BUT (important to fucking note) Gojo said "with the way I'm feeling RIGHT NOW I wouldn't even feel it" bc Gojo had literally just brought himself (practically) back from the dead. He was the least human he had ever felt with all the trauma caused by Toji, BUT THAT WAS AN EXCEPTION, THAT IS NOT GOJO ON THE REGULAR.

To tell your bestie, who YOU KNOW is inherently GOOD, a guy who kept his infinity on 24/7 even when it was frying his brain just to protect Riko, who didn't sleep, who made sure her last moments were filled with happiness before she merged with tengen, THAT is who you're saying could wipe out the world?? Then, he has the nerve to ask him if he's the strongest because he's Satoru Gojo or is he Satoru Gojo because he is the strongest? When Geto is the only one who Satoru has ever let himself just be Satoru with. Satoru pushes against Geto's ideals but ultimately acts with the same conviction, fights by his side, made pacts with him to save Rikos life against the power of tengen who is the balance of everything BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MUCH SATORU VAULES PEOPLE'S LIVES,

and Geto has the audacity to look at Gojo and say to his face: "You could do it. You're telling me I can't do something that is possible for you."

Like, Geto, baby, it's not possible for Satoru Gojo. ABSOLUTELY NOT. But, it is possible to do it with his abilities and for the first time, that's how Geto was addressing him. As someone with the Six Eyes and Limitless technique.

That's tragic! That's heartbreaking. And I think Gojo realized that that is how Geto was looking at him too when he had never looked at him like that before.

Geto really said, "You think your Hollow Purple is devastating? Let me break your heart, Gojo."

at least it was the white haired one this time

I'm really hoping NDR will somehow write a balance to this because these two ideologies are not inherently bad until pushed to the extreme (like all ideologies, I suppose!) I would be pretty disappointed if they painted the Ninja in the good entirely, but I trust Doc Wyatt!

So I already seen some people talk about how Ras teachings about pushing against the universe and taking what you want is actually good as opposed to how the teachings of Lloyd/ the ninjas side where it’s more….. about going with the flow of the universe is bad.

And I GET where they’re coming from. I really do! I understand that these ideas are/could be read as “it’s better to just let everyone walk all over you and let destiny do its thing and you have no control over anything and you just gotta let stuff happen. No you cannot fight for what you want and go against “the flow of the universe” or whatever” but it really is a matter of how you read it because the way I see it:

Let’s look at it this way. You cannot force people to do things they want just because you want them to. You cannot force yourself to love someone just like you can’t force someone to love you as much as you want it. You cannot forcefully change someone’s identity or personality just because you don’t like how they are and you cannot forcefully change yourself to be someone you really aren’t just to appease others. You cannot force and entire population to bow down to you because you simply find it fun. You cannot force everyone to agree with you and unleash anger upon them when they don’t. You cannot change nor rewrite the past and you cannot puppeteer others peoples lives because it would be more beneficial to you. You cannot bring someone back from the dead and you cannot create the perfect person. This is why, Rass ideas, about, taking things by force, bending the universe to your will to get the stuff you want, is bad. It’s selfish. It’s harmful. Hell it can even be harmful to oneself.

I don’t think that the ninjas teachings/ideas supposed in any way signify that ni matter how unfair something is you just have to let it happen or some shit like that because we know that’s not true, considering how the ninja are constantly fighting villians who do unfair shit. I mean this is pretty obvious but still.

Not everything’s gonna go your way and not everything is in your control and that’s ok. Once one learns to accept change, or how life doesn’t always go as planned, that some things that you don’t like might occur, they’ll be able to live at peace. As much as you wish for something there’s also things you have to respect. From boundaries to nature. From someone you love not loving you the way you wish they did to having to move away to somewhere new, being able to adapt and grow is something essential in life and essential towards being at peace.

Again, I understand why people would interpret the two sides of these ideas in dragons rising in such a way where both are right and wrong. And tbh I also agree and like seeing it that way, in the way that there should be a balance between both. Especially with all the themes about balance in Ninjago, but I still wanted to drop my interpretation of these ideas here and why I can also see how ras teachings can be wrong while Lloyd/the ninjas right. But again? The world isn’t black and white.
