A movie with the message that community support, even with access to a billionaire's wallet, is an ineffective "waste of time," because you just can't improve society, you just can't, but at least the unfixable wretched hive of Gotham gets vindictive glee when their ubermensch-cop punches...

I bring two poems. Cryokinesis The ice plain is perfectly flat. Besides me, there is nothing on it. I cannot melt it. I cannot break it. I cannot see beyond it. I cannot travel beyond it. I cannot succumb to exposure. I cannot change the weather. I cannot muster up the will to keep thinking of...

Investigating the Psychic Myth: Part 2 In Part 1, I explained the popular fandom myth that Gen. 1 Psychic is uniquely overpowered and unbalanced. I analyzed the type, compared it with two other powerful types in Normal and Ice, and went over the good and the bad. Now, I'm talking more...

Investigating the Psychic Myth This is Part 1 of a two-part post. Stay tuned for Part 2! The overstated power of the Psychic type in Gen. 1 is the fandom's misconception I find most fascinating. I want to give it a fuller treatment here. Like my previous posts about heuristics and bias in...

Part 3: Why is Identity Hard for Me? There are a lot of balls in the air. These are listed in no particular order. There's plenty of potential for them to interlink with each other. Developmental Trauma: Like a lot of other people with autism, normal childhood development did not come...

Hi! I recently became aware that I probably have a dissociative disorder. I'm normally hesitant about devoting too much time to things I haven't had diagnosed, but like, I've factually had extreme dissociative experiences, and my factual dissociative experiences have factually caused negative...

woodchipper gives you a splinter

I agree that Waluigi doesn't particularly deserve to be in, but neither did Daisy. I'm fine with her in, but she's not like a feature add. Like most Mario characters, they have ~2 meaningful personality traits and ~0 meaningful development or narrative relevance. They can both be spinoff...
