What does the universe have to tell me?

You decided to learn a new skill but then stopped when you made a mistake. The frustration you experienced was made worse by the fact you think that people will hate you if you aren’t good enough at the new skill.

The Brethren Moons are the Good Guys [Reposted]

This post was requested by members of HERE WE STAND.

The lines between good and evil can be extremely hard to tell at times. Part of that reason comes from our perception that ourselves, those we know, and our species shouldn't suffer. So anyone or anything that causes suffering can easily be accused of being evil.

Is that the case of the Necromorphs, Markers, and Brethren Moons in the Dead Space Universe? Or are they all evil?

The Five Person Sex Scene of Hannibal [Reposted]

It seems each episode of Hannibal this season is 'what will be most misunderstood and overreacted to this week'. While these negative opinions do help fuel me as a critic, it's annoying to have to be there to defend Bryan Fuller who is not as demonic as people would think. Hell, he had it so that Mason and Margot's stories were changed to show that people don't become part of the LGBTQ+ community because of abuse.

So this week people were complaining about the big, anticipated sex scene. Now I'm going to talk about two things in this post. I will first cover Margot's reasoning and then I will talk about the sex scene as a whole.

Shipping Confessions: Joan/Moriarty (Elementary) [Reposted]

Well we're sticking with Elementary as there's one other ship in the series that I'm really into. It makes it sad, then, that one of the characters in the ship only has four appearances in the show in total.

The ship is between Joan Watson and Jamie Moriarty. It took me until the second season to decide that I liked their personalities and not just how the pair of them looked together.

In the last Shipping Confessions I talked about Joan Watson so I'll talk about her first here.

What does the universe have to tell me?

You feel disconnected from the world due to becoming distant with friends or family because of a misunderstanding. The root of this misunderstanding was because you’re not feeling confident with yourself lately and took those emotions out on people that were only trying to help.

Which Eeveelution are You? (Quiz) [Reposted]

Eevee is the most diverse Pokemon in terms of how many evolutions it has. What makes it hard to get them all is that not every evolution (also called Eeveelution) is earned the same way. Umbreon you need to have its happiness be at a certain level and it needs to evolve at night. Espeon is the same thing but has to evolve during the day time. So which Eeveelution are you? Are you a fiery Flareon or an icy Glaceon? Or could you even just be Eevee?

Alan Wake and Alex Casey: More Than a Little Gay [Reposted]

The topic of this post was voted on by the members of my Facebook group HERE WE STAND. If you would like to vote on future posts, feel free to join.

The Remedy Connected Universe (RCU) is one confusing place. A large part of that reason is that it loves to blur the lines between meta and fiction. Once you really get into it you'll find yourself learning the history of the company itself.

One character that exemplifies the blurred lines between reality and fiction is Alex Casey. He is a fictional character written by Alan Wake, an actual FBI agent, and a series of Max Payne Easter eggs. You could spend a few years delving into all the crevices of the character.

For the sake of this post I won't do that and instead focus on only one aspect of the character. And what aspect is that? The subtextual gay feelings Alan Wake has for Alex Casey.

A Quickie: Matt's Revelation (The Leftovers) [Reposted]

The Leftovers is a weird show. Stuff happens that makes you just scratch your head. It's also a show that is a little hard to get into but well worth the effort. Today's post will focus on the character of Matthew Jamison.

After the episode "It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World", I wanted to dive into Matt's character. Specifically Matt's belief in God.
