💩 Tomorrowland: The Dystopia of Wasted Potential
Hey, fucks! Let’s dive headfirst into this cesspool of squandered talent, missed opportunities, & rich-people delusion masquerading as storytelling. The Tomorrowland writers somehow managed to take a movie about dreamers—a concept brimming with potential for visionaries, futurists, & creative nonconformists—and reduced it to a hollow, sterile sermon delivered by the prettiest, most unrelatable characters money could buy.
But let’s break down that particular dumpster fire of a quote you mentioned:
🚨 “It’s not hard to knock down a big evil building…”
Oh, really, George? Physics says otherwise. Buildings—especially “big evil” ones—don’t just fall over because someone had a strong moral objection. As you pointed out, 9/11 alone should have made this line radioactive in every writer’s room forever. Tearing down entrenched power structures (both literal & metaphorical) takes monumental effort, planning, resources, & sacrifice—usually by

Tales of Ruler class Servant, (Name) IV
"Another Ruler, you say?" Amakusa raised a brow as he was busy wiping his sword with a slightly damp cloth. "Is it one of those we have met before?"
"No, it's a new one from what I have heard," Sherlock replied, tapping his cigarette on the ashtray with a frown on his face. At that moment, he had wished he at least has some Tobacco for his pipe. But the cigarettes would do. "The Guda siblings were too excited about it that they skipped out on summoning a few to save up for this new man."
"Interesting," Amakusa laughed. "I could hardly imagine those two skip out on summoning. But then again, anything is possible."
"Oh dear me, I could hardly say those two were successful in saving up," Sherlock waved his cigarette in dismissal. "While they did skip on a few, they still spent on summoning other heroic spirits, however. If my estimate is correct, they have managed to squander at least 15 summoning tickets and an extra 65 Saint Quartz on side summoning."
"I can't say I'm surprised,"

NNWM Day18-20 Chapter 6:Part 2
Chapter Six: Part TwoI stood silently and nearly unmoving before Lucifer’s dark blue painted door. My mind was racing with endless possibilities, about how exactly my cousin would or could react to my apology, and most of these possibilities were negative ones.
What exactly would he say to me? That I of course did not know in the slightest bit. Would he accept my apology or rather just brush it off instead? Hopefully he would accept it and forgive me but even I knew that it was not likely. Would he be disgusted and angered by me? Probably. Would he ever forgive me?
I paused after that question, my eyes blinking lightly as I began to lightl...

Sudrian Railway Chronicles-Episode 368
Mid Sodor Engines-Part 2 Smudger Rheneas was waiting impatiently for his passengers at Crovan's Gate. "Come on, come on! It's not like Gordon to be late. He's even more boastful than Saul back in the day." Just then Duke puffed and heard Rheneas complaining to himself.
"If you don't mind my asking, Rheneas, who is Saul?" He asked. "Saul is, or should I say, was, my triplet." "What?!" Duke exclaimed, shocked by this revelation. "You never told any of us you had a triplet!! I thought your only twin was Dolgoch in Wales.""Yes, that's true. Dolgoch is my twin sister." Rheneas explained. "And Saul was originally meant to come to our railway,...

Teen Titans Go - Lets Get Serious Review
Ok.....now we get to the gritty part of this series of TTG reviews. This episode is one of the most bizarre in the series not like that it stops from sucking but it's still bad like REALLY bad....like almost insulting bad. So lets not waste anymore time monologuing and just get into it.One bizarrely stupid thing is that it opens up with the Titans about to square against the Hive but the other Titans except for Robin are doing what they do best......wasting time and acting like jackasses....EVEN RAVEN MIND YOU. Robin being the usual straight man points this out as he says they're not acting serious (which you'd think in other instances THE...

My Good Heart Chapter 6 (Part One)
Chapter 6 ~ Knowledge is Power “Stupid Pridelanders. Stupid princess. Stupid king. Stupid, black giant. Stupid, stupid, Stupid !” Vitani hadn’t stopped mumbling since they crossed the border back into the Outlands. And worse still, she was starting to limp. With the battle fervor all but diminished, the ache of a bruised body exacerbated her bad mood. Concerned, Njema pulled on the haunch they were carrying and stopped. He lowered the meat onto the ground, giving Vitani and Kovu little choice but to do the same. “We’re far enough. Let me look at you, Tani.” Hackles raised, the middle sibling backed away from her approaching brother with a...
1) The days that drew Bristlekit closer and closer to his apprenticeship failed to pass any faster than a maggot in spoiled fresh-kill. Sure, there was a ton of yelling outside, so much so that the little chestnut tabby could hear the liveliness and pure drama that was taking place amongst the members of his clan. Listening to the queens’ hushed chatter of someone called Darkfrost—no, Carrionheart (a cool name, if you asked him)—buzzed in the tom’s ears and only fueled his want, his need to leave the nursery. He had been so excited knowing it was mere days now. Only a few days until he could prove himself to his entire clan, to sho...

Reflections Of A Girl Lost
As I site looking back
I see a life that is unfulfilled
A person with no purpose or reason
I sit and wonder
Who am I
What makes me special
I've so many dreams
So many aspirations
I've managed to squander most of the love and trust I gave to them
I'd stopped living to see to the needs of others
NO MORE!
It's time for me and what I want
Who I want to be
And what I want to achieve
I need a real man
One to take responsibility of himself and what he does
One to love me not try to change me
Fate can either send one worthy
OR leave me be
And take this yearning from my heart
I will be me
Damn the rest of you!
