We're going to have to start making excuses for the lack of terror.

Unless it's a genocide that's fashionable or reached an arbitrary statute of limitation

I'm going to read more theory tonight.

Castlevania, despite some of the creators being creeps, has a good one with Sypha and Belmont. It's established off-screen and you simply see them interact as a couple that works closely together.

You don't see the courtship at all and there's little eroticism. I don't know if lacking that excludes it from being considered romantic.

But I like the relationship where they clearly care about each other and I'm certain the romance would be believable if they showed it in-scene. It is odd however how Belmont has a foul mouth but won't say something explicit to Sypha when they're alone.

The other romantic relationships in the series are also established off-screen for the most part. You see couples talking to each other in bed and stuff, but there aren't too many declarations of love or discussion on their relationship, but I think the lack of dialogue around that could be excused by it being 1474.

 

I'm fortunate enough to have good credit and I qualify for a decent apr for a personal loan.

It would help give me breathing room for some time and help me make a career change. Are there any obvious traps to look out for?

Edit - Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'm not planning on taking out a loan anytime soon. I'm just under stress and hate my job. I just wanted to know if getting a loan would be a viable option to buy some time/recharge for a little bit without immediate bills on my ass.

I can feel that a little. It kinda makes me mad how freely people these days could put anime decals on their cars when I was bullied for liking it as a kid

Too bad it didn't break her computer

 

The set up is that somebody is making one of these things and they were so delicate that any noise above a whisper could deflate them, ruining them. Then the punchline is when someone or something makes a loud noise and the souffle collapses as predicted.

It feels like such a relic these days. They don't do the gag anymore and I wonder what that said about pop culture at the time.

Has that joke come up again in recent years or am I that detached from TV?

What are some other jokes that seemingly vanished?

Just like Finn!

I hate that the possibility of a complicated story/moral question died on the vine in the first ten minutes of TFA when a smiling Finn gunned down his former child soldier friends.

 

For me, it's hereditary magic. I can deal with random people not being able to use a setting's magic (though I'd prefer magic to be accessible to everyone), but I hate the weird vibes that scream eugenics to me.

Naruto

My Hero Academia

Harry Potter

Just to name a few, take something as cool as powers and magic and turn them into things where you end up with characters incentivized to breed the perfect people.

Like I get people like the idea of going all Gregor Mendel with fire dad and ice mom to make a cool fire and ice kid, but then it's just gross and I don't know. It makes me think back to when I was younger. How so much of your life could be decided before you were born. I don't know, it didn't make it fun playing pretend.

What about you? What magic system tropes did you hate?

I'm consoom media slop that has gay content. I have standards though, so none of the cynical ploys Disney pulls appeal to me.
