Fnaf sister location characters

I've encountered a couple of issues in this load order that have me puzzled. My dialogue boxes are now showing up blank without any text. The order issue is that I'm constantly getting corrupted savegames both of the fake variety and the real ones too. Any insight into what might be doing it is greatly appreciated.

What would be the plot? What would be the location? What characters would you include/write? What would the twist be? Who would be Ghostface and why would there motive be? Who is the opening kill/scene?
This is your chance to get creative and share how you would have liked Scream 3 to go!

I don't know who exactly the main group should be.
I do know this though. Megan Williams, Molly Williams, Danny Williams, cheerilee, applejack, apple bloom, sweetie Belle, rarity, and a couple of other characters are I this idea.
Cheerilee and Scootaloo are sisters in this universe, they live with their aunts in their own homeless shelter called paradise estate. The Williams siblings also live there. Everyone who stays in paradise estate refers to auntie holiday and auntie lofty as well auntie and aunt even though most of the ponies in there are related to them with the exception of scootaloo and cheerilee.
Megan Williams is a human girl who has a much weaker version of the rainbow of light. She is still the oldest and more mature of her siblings but she has a sassy side when challenged enough. She is capable of being a leader despite not being an adult. She and her little siblings have gotten her after a travel across a rainbow bridge. Although the siblings are fine with staying with the ponies anyways.
Scootaloo is still a daremare and can't fly do to her wings being damaged. how ever this version also likes to have her hair braided by her big sister. Her recklessness gets on cheerilee's nerves.
Danny Williams is still a bit of a prankster and still doesn't like bullies, he can get on his sisters nerves, especially Megan's. He is capable of being a leader similar to his big sister but is extremely hesitant to do so do to the fear that he might get his love ones hurt. He and scoots get along the each other the most out of the rest of their friend group do to them having so much in common.
Rarity is a unicorn Noble who is known to be generous and pretty down to earth, she is great fashion designer. She doesn't like being dirty but will gladly do so to help her friends.
Sweetie belle is energetic and looks up to her big sister. Despite not being good at magic yet she is willing to do anything for her friends, the most innocent of her group she is capable of being feisty when pushed or angered.
Applejack is a simple farm pony.
Apple bloom despite living on a nearby farm has an interesting in chemistry, especially potions. She is the leader of her friend group called the crusaders. Despite her being the voice of reason she is still just as immature as the other members.
Apple bloom, sweetie, scootaloo, and Danny are the crusaders, a group that f children who crusade for fun and to help others. They have a habit of cause chaos and somehow a some property damage despite their good intentions to help others and attempts to have fun. They somehow let a cart on fire underwater.
Molly Williams is the youngest of the Williams siblings and is extremely kind.
Cheerilee is not only scoots big sister but is also her and the rest of the crusaders teacher, she cares her sister and the crusaders but they can unintentionally be a pain even though they don't mean to, she can't help but chuckle when the crusaders try to overly apologize.
Princess Celestia and princess Luna are alicorns with incredible powers and artifacts, Celestia is the creator of the rainbow of light and Luna has a dark past that seems to hunt her. The sisters will give out wisdom to the heroes but doesn't intervene unless they have to as they don't want to destroy the content or potentially the planet.
Queen Oppilene (I can't remember how to spell her name) is an alicorn that was drained of most of her magic, now she seeks to get all her power back and conquer the world even if she has to go town to town for now. She has other villians that work for her, she has briefly team up with, or that has tried to get in her way forcing her to team up with the heroes. She was banished do to absorbing the dragon fire of some innocent dragons in front of the other two alicorns.
Shadow tempest formally known fizzy pop is a general that works for opel do to opel saving her when she was a filly. She has a broken horn but is great at hoof to hoof and hoof to hand/claw combate. She is also great at using many weapons so being a Pegasus or unicorn won't help you against her. Now bow to her Queen!

No Spoilers.
There's a lot of DnD monsters, locations, lore, and characters packed in here. I was actually surprised. They also managed to capture the feeling of irl people playing these characters. Which was funny and impressive.
My biggest gripe? I feel the team needed a grumpy old Dwarf. Just that Veteran player who wants to kill everything and who can't really relate to all the new age stuff.
I recommend this one. It's got a bit of heart and a few laughs.

We are Azure Infinitum
Visit us at: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/)
You may have seen us in the Aether data center's party finder during our weekly events, or may have seen our recruitment shouts around the realm in-game in Midgardsormr, but there just isn't enough space in those places to really explain everything wonderful about what our Free Company and community is.
Azure Infinitum is an LGBTQ+ friendly community, and welcomes players of all experience level, play style, and availability. We're a warm home with a balance of online players, weekly optional activities, and flexible ranks from our membership, to our support & leadership categories. We have a 24/7 Support Team, a Councilship that governs each tier, seasonal events of our own, and many resources between the games we support and online services.
Who We Are
We are an established 9-year old community who's home is in Midgardsormr Server of Final Fantasy XIV. We are a structured, well-rounded, welcoming, friendly, and organized community that hosts daily events (check out our calendar: https://azureinfinitum.com/events/ ) that provide opportunity for members to excel. We work to provide an arena and opportunities to establish strong bonds and camaraderie between our members. As a community we are driven, we carry each other forward, and we are proud.
Our Name & Philosophy
Learn more about our global community here: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/aboutus/)
Learn more about our FFXIV Free Company here: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/ourffxivfc/)
Azure Infinitum means "Azure/Blue Infinity or Infinite Blue/Azure" and there is some mythos behind the name that stems from our guild-wide philosophy of kindness, freedom, vigilance, diversity and activity. We promote positive fellowship among members in an organized guild, with our sights open to our unending endless skies, full of possibility and success together.
Our motto is "As Free As The Azure Sky!" which stuck well when our FC was restructured from an old guild in 2014 as Azure was founded, and it was first shouted as we looked out at a clear blue sky above. has continued to be our electric victory as we continue to snowball in success and activity, our members soaring high through the Azure Sky, flying together!
Ranks
Click here to learn more about our community ranks: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/ranks/)
Our community has an organized ranking structure beginning with Members who comprise the majority of the roster. Scouts are our support team of Members who've stepped up to more officially support the FC, some work on obtaining a future leadership rank. Lieutenants and Officers comprise the proud Azure Council, a diverse group of players of different specialties and services to the FC, making up lower and higher tier leadership, seeing over the Scouts and the FC weekly events, aside from being admins. The FC Infinitum Master oversees all and leads the Azure Council and the company forward while always keeping the heart and vision of the community alive and in sight. Currently we are re-assessing ranks in the free company, giving more support permissions and duties to our Scouts, while the current council operates as a small team of Lieutenants lead by the FC Master.
Everyone Welcome and Who Fits Best
We have an open door policy. Whether you're casual, a returning player, a veteran, or a newbie, we have a vast array of players in our member roster. Our weekly schedule is organized and provides an array of activity for players of most levels, however we like to ask players who're pretty new or under the level cap, to be extra vocal about their needs while they're still unable to attend some daily events or higher level content that most of our weekly lineup focuses on. We want everyone to have as much fun as possible and have the most success. We find that most players enjoy Azure Infinitum, many have stated that they subscribed to FFXIV much longer than they ever would have imagined after they have been around in our community, as they've gotten involved and experienced all that we offer.
Our FC keeps a daily schedule (see here: https://www.azureinfinitum.com/events/) of events that are hosted by permitted Scouts and Council ranks, these range from 8-man and 24-man raids and map parties, to WT journal groups and trial clear parties or farms, and more- and attending anything isn't mandatory at all here. We're happy to have you, and its up to our members how much they'd like to get involved. Attendance is optional! There's never any stress to attend FC functions.
Savage Raiding Statement
We find that some hardcore raiders looking for free companies just to join their statics who don't already have one, might not fit well if savage raiding is their only or greatest focus, because traditionally Azure does not have a Savage Static, but focuses more on allowing members to organize their own groups and also provides resources to do so. Despite not supporting an official static for the FC, we hope that hardcore raiders enjoy the wealth of our community's wealth of harmony and overall fun, and that everyone may take initiative to seek out or build a raiding static within our community if they are interested, as opposed to missing out on experiencing Azure. Depending on the content season, we may have an Unofficial static lead by a leader, and routinely offer limited time Savage-learning events that may run for a number of months.
Rules and No Drama Policy
Please take a moment to look over our Rules Page at (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/rules/), we find that rude individuals and people who create drama are the outsiders here that don't fit well. We know its a big page, so at least visit the General Rules section before joining.
Recruitment Care & Activity
People of Azure Infinitum are often if not always good natured players who found their way to our community looking for a place with structure, friendliness, organization, and great activity, or they've been scouted during recruitment drives and have been well screened. Its a place where one can be social and attend everything, or relax in the background and enjoy the services and facilities of being in an active, organized, and friendly FC. We actively recruit periodically to assist with upkeep of community activity levels, and to meet new comrades. A community that closes recruitment can be doomed to stagnation. Its normal for a community to have an inner core of die hards who log in daily regardless of content releases, and also have an outer core of individuals that range from those with less availability to those who check in during Patches. This is why we take extra care in keeping the fresh blood flowing into Azure, cautious recruitment, and support our active model by always staying welcoming and sometimes running recruitment campaigns and other services.

Handling Online Drama
Because we keep a no-drama policy and have a strong communication network, it is leadership's ultimate priority to handle any issues that may come up as soon as possible, and most people appreciate our problem solving which has inspired many other communities. Between our Support & Leadership ranks, we use a number of report and resource channels to handle situations, and perform problem solving protocols & tactics to fairly address issues as possible. Drama is inevitable at some point for any online community, so its important to have a large and strong list of moderators (currently around 60!) and a council of leaders (15+) to quickly handle any problems. Luckily, we don't have a lot of drama, but we're always very well equipped and very prepared. Our community has been commended by game staff in the past for our methods, and we have worked with the FFXIV Special Task Force to ensure as much safety to our community as achievable. It should be stressed that it is up to our membership to report to GM's in-game, and to Azure Leadership should any issues or concerns come up. Its also highly recommended that our members appropriately document evidence that can be used to help us assess situations and make proper decisions. Documenation such as screenshots of harassment is a great example! Our members online safety is greatly important to us and is a number one concern of our leadership team. Our Rules Page at: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/rules/) describes a bit more in Chapter 3, including other entries on avoiding/ignoring trolls, playing while intoxicated, depression, and more.
Our Philosophy
We believe in our community and its people, how far we can go, how much we can do for each other, being an experienced community who's core values are positive fellowship, formation of bonds, and indomitable unity.
Azure Infinitum tightly grasps success and masters a casual and lucrative weekly play schedule while inspiring motivation and providing avenues for further success, friendships, and camaraderie among all who freely fly together among our Azure skies.
Founding on the principles of intricately forging a generally drama-free experience with keen leadership and a zealous and mighty membership, Azure has striven to guide and support many hundreds of players through every era of Final Fantasy XIV.
With an illustrious history, company lore, impressive statistics, and a model that is adaptable and blessed with innovative ability, Azure Infinitum claims a dominant presence of excellence and player growth that is possible in our community and extended services.
Estate Organization
We have the entire set-up at our estate, from gardens for members and Krakka Root production (free for members' chocobos), to our stables, nicely uniform clean lawn with hangout spots that are popular, with crafting stations, all available NPCs for simple mats and repairs, cut-scene viewer, toybox, triple-triad board, a fully operational and geared fleet of airships and subs, and our Azure Infinitum Assembly Chamber on the top floor for our meetings where announcements are made at our Grand Assemblies. Check it out if you like at Mist Ward 7 Plot 1.
We also have an organized form of gathering for weekly events in the yard, places to relax, food that is always available on tables at our Cellar, and hold a lot of special events and social games at our Hall. We're also conveniently located next to a Market Board and a Retainer Bell outside of our estate.
Communication and Extended Azure Services
We have multiple services of which none are mandatory, but we provide being (azureinfinitum.com) where our Forums, Event Calendar, News, Company Meeting Summaries, Seasonal Merch Giveaways, Contests, Rules Page, and more take place and can be found. We also have a popular and active Discord Server.
We also have a Facebook Group, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Steam Group, (Look us up! Or visit: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/socialmedia/) and Linkshells like our Infinitum Alliance LS for contact and aid from our allies if needed, our Azure Hunters LS for Hunters, and our Azure Industry LS which connects our members to our inner crafting/gathering community for newbies to pros.
Also worthy of mention is our big Company Meetings in-game, known as Azure Infinitum Grand Assemblies. Even though we have several avenues that keep people connected, our live assemblies gather the FC in unity where announcements are made first, and all proposals, ideas, and more, can be decided together live with the Azure Council present.
This network ensures a lot of information and communication gets around and has been exceedingly useful to us.
More On Events
One part of our reputation that often precedes us is our event crafting and hosting.
First, let me make sure its clear that attendance is never mandatory, but those who can make use, when possible, of what we provide each day, benefit from our events each week.
Since our beginning, traditions like our Thursday Treasure Thursdays events have run each week. Our weekly line-up presently begins on Tuesdays post-weekly reset, and consists of Raid Tuesdays, Wondrous Wednesdays (WT Journal Parties, often doubles as Trial Clears and Pony Drops), Treasure Thursdays (Endwalker's timeworn maps with groups of 8 doing up to 3 rounds of maps allowing for up to 24 maps ran), 24-Man Tuesdays (full pre-formed Azure 24-member alliances are made and raids are cleared, will be returning upon the release of EW's 24-man), Super Azure Slayer Sunday (our weekly meetup to do all sorts of PVP content be it Rival Wings or Frontline), and Monstrous Mondays (helps clear the current and previous patch extreme trials).
Special, Seasonal, and Quarterly Events
More info here: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/azureday/)See the latest event news & more at: (https://www.azureinfinitum.com/news/)
We also have what we call Special and Quarterly Events. These types of events are Weekend-Long-Events that usually consist of a theme or celebratory social events we craft. During these events we hold big Riddle Races, Costume/Glamour shows and contests, 3-Story Mansion Maze Races, Speedrun Dungeon Races, Hide and Seek games, Custom Quest Events, Discord events like Cards Against Humanity nights, Comedy events, PVP Tournament Circuits, and more.
Our Special and Quarterly events are Azure Day Weekend (Takes place 3 times a year across a weekend, celebrates the FC), Azure Summer Festival (3-days at the end of August in partnership with Child's Play, raises money for children in long-term care, anniversary of historic FC event called the Lunar Rebellion), Anniversary Azure Day (a big weekend event in November that celebrates our Founding), Azure Day Saint's Wake (celebrates Halloween/All Saint's Wake), Azure Starlight Day (celebrating Starlight Day/Christmas/December Holiday Season), Azure Grand Melee and Duel Tournaments (PVP Circuit series crowning our PVP Champions) and more.
Azure Day Weekends
If you've been around our server you may have heard of our Azure Day Weekends. Our Azure Days take place quarterly as mentioned just above, with four evolved editions called Azure Summer Festival, Azure Day Saint's Wake, Azure Starlight Day, and Anniversary Azure Day. With Azure Day Weekends and related events traditionally occuring quarterly our members are always excited to see the next big weekend of crazy and fun social games, and our showering of the free company in gil and prizes galore. We go all out when we celebrate the free company, and Azure Days are another way we find for leadership to give back to the community. 2023 and beyond is now host to additional seasonal Azure Day events!
We're always giving our members a chance to have fun, win big, and make some great memories in the in-game family we've become. Something fun is always on the horizon in Azure.
Community
I almost can't stress enough how friendly our community is. We have a vast variety of members from hardcore gatherers and crafters, social butterflies, chill veterans, experienced raiders, level grinders, support teams, PVP aficionados, mechanic specialists, and mentors. We're also very friendly to all casual players as well and we keep an open door so long as recruits are always aware that we have a no-drama tolerance here.
​Evolution into a Gaming Clan & Network
Plans are in the works and foundations are being laid that is slowly turning our community into a larger gaming network, with our first established Azure Wing with regular occurring activity being founded in Monster Hunter World, this has led to a successful Destiny 2 clan and more. Becoming a member of our Discord and/or Free Company now means access to things like our huge discord, Azure Wing membership in other games, and being able to join in on any of our other activities in the general community. Azure Network as its being called at the moment, is growing with an all-new website and community features for playing together across Final Fantasy XIV and to Azure Skies beyond!
Activity
We rank high as one of the top FC's in Worldwide Activity on lodestone, and have for a long time. Most of our players are divided between the US East and West Coasts, members in East and West Canada, and a few outside the US or in EU or Aus zones. Because we do have an activity policy (mentioned below) we keep a standard flow of people, and have crowds in the early morning, late morning, early afternoon, afternoon, evening, and late night crowds.
Elitism isn't our style. Our community boasts a broad range of characters, great personalities, the proud, and also some silly goofs. But elitism isn't welcome, no matter how successful we are or how large we grow. We're always welcoming towards fresh faces interested in joining our guild, and the in-game activity ranges between 30-60+ online at once during prime time hours, sometimes around 70+ on patch days, and usually always with half the roster logging in throughout a 24 hour period, and around 15-30+ during the night.
Activity Policy
We ask that our members do not go missing without logging in for more than 60 days straight. If we hear word from someone or have some kind of decent excuse, we place our members on our On Vacation rank, which lasts presently until 90 days have passed. Exceptions are made for military deployments, hospital stays, financial issues, disability/health related issues, moving, or other reasons that might fall on a case-by-case basis.
All members not heard from in 60 days (roughly 2 months) or currently 90 days (roughly 3 months) are discharged. We allow 3 joins to Azure Infinitum in total, but exceptions can be made due to reasons listed above. If removed for inactivity, or you've left our FC for another reason and haven't already joined 3 times, you're always welcome back, but please remember, we are not a revolving door.
Keeping our roster full of members who have been online and presently play the game actively ensures an active environment for our players who play often. It also keeps our credits and clerical processes balanced across our network, and allows space for new faces to join our big happy in-game family of comrades.

Bioshock 1: Legendary plot full of twists and turns and an epic rising and falling. Characters spend most of their dialogue either soapboxing philosophy or speaking madness
Bioshock 2: Okay plot that's consistent but somewhat underwhelming. Little sisters are cuter, Eleanor is likable, with lots of funny moments, and the villain is a bit stupid but also witty.
Bioshock Infinite: Weird plot that makes only as much sense as the bullshit you're willing to come up with. MC is hilarious, Elizabeth is a Disney princess, almost every NPC makes you laugh or shiver with contempt, and the villain is as idiotic and bigoted as he is overdramatic and charismatic.
Change my view.

Hey there! Looking for people interested in producing my latest short. It's 3 characters and very little dialogue with a fun concept I won't spoil.
Let me know if you'd like to read it and I'll happily send it your way.
Thanks!

Basically I believe the following things (about people in a general sense, I don't mean these apply to every man and woman):
I believe that it's thought that sexism towards women is so much more common than sexism towards men, across the world (especially in Muslim countries) and throughout history, even fairly recent history. (But my parents and sister told me it is more common but not so much more and that sexism is not about hating women nor seeing them as lesser inferior beings, that it's about men having had the roles of power and control, because they were stronger so exerted strength to get them, etc. But that women were also thought to have a just as important role, in the home.) They said violence towards women is not about hatred towards women but instead about power, control, men being physically stronger and testosterone. And that the men who commit domestic violence are also the types to get into physical fights with men in pubs, etc.
I believe it's thought that women like men as a gender more than men like women as a gender due to this. Because people think sexism means mistreating, hating, etc. And that it's thought women treat men better and with more respect.
I believe it's thought that women like men in a more well rounded way than men like women, because of sexism and because because people think men objectify women and "only want one thing" from women, and also that if you took sex away... men would prefer men in all other ways (they think women are unfunny, etc and they think that men are superior, etc.)
I believe it's thought that sexism towards men is only a thing as backlash against sexism towards women. So women who hate men hate them for how men treat women.
I believe traditional roles are not seen as equal but different and are instead seen as representing a belief that women are incapable and to serve men. I believe also that it's thought that women are defined by their relationships to men.
I believe that when men do typically female hobbies and jobs women propel them to success and praise them for the bare minimum (which they wouldn't do for a woman with the same skills), like drag queens and gay male makeup artists. But women doing typically male jobs or hobbies are held to higher standards, have to prove themselves more, are not given the same support and are even verbally abused or threatened online. (Female gamers, female Mps, in sport, female celebs, etc.) And that there are boy's clubs that are hostile towards women in male dominated workplaces, but not girl's clubs that are hostile towards men in female dominated workplaces. I believe that having female main characters, idols, etc is not something many men want nor can relate to, while male main characters, idols are fine for women.
I believe it's thought that women (especially teen girls) hate each other, get jealous, compete and have internalised misogny, but that men have stronger bonds, friendships and camaraderie. (Even though my psychologist told me that it's instead believed that women mostly support each other.)
My parents and sister told me I was wrong about all of these things and that most people don't think these things, my sister identifies as a feminist herself. But online and on Reddit everybody has the same views as me. Why the contrast? What are your opinions? (Also when I asked my psychologist, she had the same opinions as my family.)

In February 2022, a video game called Lost Ark released. It's a very "pay-to-win" kind of game. This means a lot of people spend their real-life money to purchase in-game currency called "gold" in order to buy better items/progress their in-game character.
Because I saw what a great demand there was for this in-game currency/gold, I spent a great deal of time grinding and making gold (by doing activities in the game, flipping the in-game market/auction house etc.). So, basically from March 2022-March 2023, I made probably roughly $25,000 from selling my own gold in the game to other players.
I read many people don't report selling their own personal belongings, i.e. on eBay, Kijiji etc. Since I would assume that this is considered my own personal belongings (something I made from my own doing through activities within the game, and then sold), and I sold it to other players, do I have to report this? My sister was also saying that I wouldn't need to report it, but I just wanna make sure.

Even as principal lively studios such as Disney, Pixar, and Illumination enjoyment have dominated the cinematic limelight, with their lively functions topping the charts at the worldwide field office and being fan favorites to many, some smaller studios have had their share in the spotlight; producing some of the greatest and most innovative cartoon testimonies for the a long time. One such studio is caricature Saloon, a Irish animated film enterprise that, whilst now not boasting the earnings making numbers of Pixar or of the long illustrious catalogue from Disney, have established a number of the maximum greatest portions of animated storytelling.
With three movies underneath their belt, cartoon Saloon has produced a few notable stunning cool animated film memories, which includes 2009’s the secret of the Kells, 2014’s track of the sea, and 2017’s The Breadwinner; crafting imaginative memories of artistry and integrity, whilst blending surreal visions of delusion lore and profound realities. Now, caricature Saloon, and directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, present the studio’s fourth animated movie and the belief to their “Irish Folklore trilogy” saga with the release of Wolfwalkers. Does this contemporary movie hold the endearing legacy from the studio or is it a “black mark” on their esteem report of animated capabilities?
THE story
In 1650 ireland, invoice Goodfellow (Sean Bean) has pledged his loyalty to the effective Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell (Simon McBurney), acting because the legitimate wolf catcher for the expanding realm of the English nation freshly installed in eire. bill is a widower, raising his young lady named Robyn (Honor Kneafsey) on his very own, regularly unable to contain his daughter’s unbribed interest, specifically exploring the world past the metropolis gates. even as bill sets out to rid the location of hungry wolves in the close by forest wooded area, Robyn manages to have a near-encounter interaction with Mebh (Eva Whittaker), a toddler who’s additionally a wolfwalker, along with her spirit reworking right into a wolf as she sleeps
​
added to their recovery powers and manipulate over the nearby %. Mebh remains alone, without her mom, Moll (Maria Doyle Kennedy), who became a wolf one night time and by no means lower back domestic. Curious herself to the new human lady, Mebh unearths a friend in Robyn, who’s excited by way of the life, however is quickly aware about its growing hazard, with the Lord Protector refusing to relaxation till the wolves have been exterminated, with invoice stuck in the center of being dutiful to his lord and unknowingly searching his daughter in the process.
the best / THE horrific
As a lot of you know, i am a huge fan of lively films, which probably stems from my adolescence years of watching cartoons (both episodic tv collection and diverse Disney / non-Disney movies of the past due 80s to mid-90s). just like what I stated above, at the same time as I’ve been fan of numerous of the massive animated studio releases, the idea of smaller studios cartoon features are from time to time have a better nice in both storytelling and integrity, with studios like Laika, Aardman Animations, and cartoon Saloons being prime examples. With cool animated film Saloon’s films, i like how special the film’s animation appears, which creates an almost dreamy folklore style from caricature age long forgotten. Plus, their memories are constantly pretty profound; by no means shoving pop culture references or unnecessary gags that don’t paintings. i've seeing the name of the game of Kells and tune of the sea, but I haven’t had the danger to look The Breadwinner, which I do plan on seeing. In brief, whilst larger animation studio will maintain to produce feature movies for the loads, studios like cool animated film Saloon and others show that finer traits of storytelling may be found in smaller scale productions (i.e., exceptional over quantity).
This brings me returned to speaking about Wolfwalkers, the fourth film from cartoon Saloon and the third entry in their Irish Folklore trilogy. To be pretty sincere, I truly didn’t pay attention lots approximately this movie. yes, that’s true! in spite of my love for child’s lively movies, Wolfwalkers went “under my radar” for quite a while. As I stated, caricature Saloon doesn’t have the equal wide variety of releases like Disney or Pixar has, so I wasn’t sincerely “searching” for their next release, specifically because the studio’s last film came out in 2017. however, I did subsequently pay attention about this movie at the beginning of November 2020, seeing the movie’s movie trailer online, which I do have that I absolutely liked and got me quite intrigued to se the movie.
but, with the COVID-19 pandemic in impact, cartoon Saloon launched the movie in diverse elements, with a few being theatrically (in international territories), even as for me (in the usa) the movie was sold off to most excellent on Apple+ tv solely. luckily, I recognize a person who has Apple+ tv, so i was sooner or later capable to check out Wolfwalkers after the vacation season of 2020. So….what did I think about it? properly, I clearly preferred it. in spite of some minor issues, cartoon Saloon’s Wolfwalkers is fantastic and engaging lively movie that encompasses the studio’s persevering with thoughts of innovative integrity and standout storytelling in its animation and narrative. The film can also get overlooked by using the masses, but its clearly one which’s worth finding out!
​
Wolfwalkers is directed by Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart and the duo have been a part of cool animated film Saloon for quite some time, with Moore directing past films from the studio including the name of the game of Kells and the music of the sea, at the same time as Stewart labored as art director for those films respectfully. for that reason, the combination efforts of each Moore and Stewart seems to bolster the effect that Wolfwalkers has and indeed each seeing to do this quite correctly mind. for my part, I assume that Wolfwalkers is possibly the fine release of caricature Studio (that I’ve seeing). together, Moore and Stewart make the movie a fruits of its past two different “Irish Folklore” entries by using capping the movie off in is trilogy style (i.e saving the high-quality for ultimate).
Moore and Stewart additionally make sure to keep the movie transferring at a consistent tempo; never breaking away for unnecessary filling or side-tales; usually making the characteristic’s fundamental cognizance upon the adventures of Robyn and Mebh. additionally, just like the relaxation of caricature Saloon’s releases, Moore and Stewart maintain up the studio’s integrity intact and never deviate into the extra commonplace tropes and references that many animated movies of past due fall into. What do I imply? properly, Wolfwalkers seems like its personal issue and by no means makes pop-culture references or out-of-area musical / dance numbers, or snappy catchphrase zingers. universal, Moore and Stewart do an high-quality job in shaping Wolfwalkers to be what it's miles; an lively film that breathtaking to look at, concept-frightening in its tale being instructed, and bountiful pallet of leisure.
furthermore, Wolfwalkers likeability and poignant that means additionally stems from the characteristic’s tale, which is steeped in Irish subculture and folklore in addition to developing into popular issues. The script, which become penned by Moore and Stewart in addition to Will Collins and Jericca Cleland, is wealthy with various motifs and nuances that harken back to the actual international of English occupation in ireland much like how the secret of Kells and track of the ocean displayed. naturally, the putting of eire within the film is one that is rife with realism; providing a kingdom this is torn between the opposing factions (i.e., Christianity vs. paganism or Irish Catholicism vs. English Protestantism or Celtic vs. English records) and offers the narrative of Wolfwalkers a palpable backdrop to spring off of and propel ahead in its own story.
Plus, the acquainted thematic beats are pretty poignant and complexed, such as friendship, tolerance, and family, are fantastically rendered inside the movie that, whilst perhaps common for youngsters’s tales, are nonetheless dealt with rather nicely in the movie’s script and average execution in the film. in addition, the movie’s story takes non secular narrative influences from other lively movies which include 2010’s a way to educate Your Dragon and 1997’s Princess Mononoke and, whilst a few argue that its take story beats from those initiatives (more on that below), it simply takes numerous similarities, particularly considering the competition of mankind vs. nature, using fear and superstition for fearmongering, and the two people (from contrary worlds) turning into pals. Altogether, all of these storytelling factors assist enhance Wolfwalkers’s narrative; compounding the effective effect that the movie has on its visitors for artistry integrity.
certainly, the animation fashion of caricature Saloon’s functions is possibly one of the satisfactory matters that they have got been regarded for; displaying colourful animation that almost appears quite unique from the greater commonplace usage of three-dimensional computer-generated visuals. There’s absolute confidence that Wolfwalkers maintains that culture from cool animated film Saloon; making it the high-quality “looking” launch. With the modern roster of film having 3D visuals for its animation, it’s nearly a breath of fresh air to peer an animated challenge offer up something pretty particular and different; choosing a extra traditional 2d fashion. moreover, the animation in Wolfwalkers, giving its Irish folklore roots and nuances, has greater of a conventional folklore storytelling style of animation, which makes it even that extra mind-blowing to visible see; nearly as if the movie’s tale is being drummed up from an antique legend of a few kind (in case you understand what I suggest). as a result, what’s provided is genuinely stunning and suitable.
Backgrounds are imbued with a experience of portray fashion, which is lovely, and the colors for the duration of the movie are absolutely mesmerizing. Plus, the individual designs for each respective man or woman are also drawing in a terrific and unparallel way that without a doubt provides to the film’s “folklore” element. i really like the film’s animation and could go on and on approximately it as I praise the function for such a rich and picturesque cool animated film movie that appears like nearly a hidden gem of new with animated feature endeavors. accordingly, I honestly do must commend the artistry and animators for this undertaking for their prolithic paintings at the movie. nicely done!
moreover, the movie’s style of cinematography must also be referred to, which offers the film have clean and almost storybook best in almost each scene. Poignant photographs and dramatic moments are outbound on this film and feels quite captivating in nearly every scene as if the film is being theatrically shot / provided in a live-action undertaking. additionally, the movie’s rating, which become composed via Bruno Coulais, offers a stunning musical composition that’s steeped in that oh-so whimsical nature of Irish folklore that speaks to the feature’s putting and tone as well as being cinematically driven with dramatic moments. this sort of extraordinary score (even with the aid of my standards). Plus, foremost track feature inside the movie “running with the Wolves” by using AUROA is superb and actually compliments the scene that it's miles presenting in such mystical and highlighting way. adore it!
there has been very little that I didn’t like approximately the movie, but, for the sake of an argument, Wolfwalkers does have some blemishes of youngster criticisms that I observed. perhaps the only that’s the maximum usual is in the film’s overall tone, that's does have a good dose of healthful youth marvel and humor, however also one this is greater critical and a touch bit darkly miserable. What I’m speaking about is that Wolfwalker’s tone, specifically in the latter half of the feature, is darker and has more of a heavier tension show in the feature’s narrative, which is right, but it is able to be a bit bit too much. yes, I do recognize of artistry integrity and what caricature Saloon has executed with its animated films (each beyond and gift). That being said, the movie will become greater of an person film with a piece more violence and macabre tones in the second 1/2 of the film. perhaps it is able to’ve been toned down a piece…simply a piece. consequently, this acts as a warning to a few parents out there that, despite a powerful / moving story and a spectacular display of animation, Wolfwalkers won't be great ideal for some of the more youthful “juice box” crowd accessible. next, sure scenes stumble upon as a touch bit repetitive, with pretty a good deal the identical interplay of character speak moments and / or strains being pretty the equal. this is mainly referred to in Robyn’s conversations with her father,
that are common and turn out to be a tad redundant. ultimately, even as I did mention that Wolfwalker’s tale takes inspirational impacts from both the way to teach Your Dragon and Princess Mononoke, some may argue that it takes a greater “carbon copy” technique and makes the film’s narrative a bit predictable. in my opinion, it didn’t hassle me at all, but there are few out there in an effort to cry hen on this specific issue, specially since each of those lively films had been out for quite some time. general, those are extra minor nitpicks of criticism and derail the movie in any respect….at least in my opinion.
What aides the movie in its fanciful appealing nature of fantastically drawn animation and gripping story is in its vocal abilties, with Wolfwalkers delivering an all round small (yet quite effective) a solid for its animated characters. similar to the movie itself, those precise characters are grounded in common roots of realism and familiarity, yet the movie’s unique technique of fashion and storytelling simply helps raise these respective gamers. that is maximum generic within the characteristic’s two essential characters of Robyn
Goodfellowe and Mebh, who're voiced by way of younger actresses Honor Kneafsey and Eva Whittaker. Kneafsey, regarded for her roles in Benidorm, miss You Already, and A Christmas Prince, has the most enjoy of the 2 and without a doubt is aware of the way to make a individual quite endearing with her voice by myself; utilizing an unbridled curiosity and well mannered demeanor in Robyn, which always makes for an excellent sort of man or woman and easy to root for from start to finish. further, Whittaker, who's recognised for her function inside the female at the cease of the garden, offers to as an alternative appropriate inside the position of Mebh. at the same time as she doesn’t have a massive lower back catalogue of past works, Whittaker is a delight within the film; portraying Mebh with a feel of wild and caged unfastened persona in comparsion to Robyn. clearly, both these specific characters (and their personas) are easily meditated upon the English and Irish people and the political landscape era of which Wolfwalkers is ready in, which makes each Robyn and Mebh relatable and proper.
not like a whole lot of animated feature films that boast plenty of recognizable / big call stars attached to the feature in voicing characters, Wolfwalkers doesn’t really want to do this, particularly since the film’s expertise is already quite properly and the film itself offers enough time to make the characters intriguing and personable. That being stated, the movie does have recognizable names connected to the venture with actors Sean Bean and Simon McBurney gambling the components of Robyn’s father, bill
Goodfellowe, and the oppressive chief Oliver Cromwell referred to as the “Lord Protector”. Bean, regarded for his roles in game of Thrones, Black death, and The Lord of the jewelry: The Fellowship of the ring, has been a quite a familiar name (maximum extremely good for his on-screen death in a number of his past initiatives) and his involvement in this movie is as a substitute well-located and well-way, specially in how his voice sounds and resonates with invoice, a kind-hearted yet sternly defensive father. The equal can be stated with McBurney, acknowledged for his roles in Tinker Tailor Soldier secret agent, The ultimate King of Scotland, and The Conjuring 2, who is more of a reoccurring helping gamers in his frame of filmography, however nonetheless proves to be quite powerful in his person portrayal, together with his overall performance of the Lord Protector quite sinisterly evil and a awesome antagonist (each in man or woman built and in vocal skills). collectively, both actors have very awesome sounding voices and are ideal
(almost tailored made) for his or her respective roles. moreover, actress Maria Doyle Kennedy, who's recognised for her roles inside the Tudors, Outlander, and Orphan Black, is another outstanding / acknowledged acting skills that is connected to Wolfwalkers; presenting the voice for Moll MacTíre, Mebh’s mother and chief of the wolf percent. Like Bean and McBurney, Kennedy’s voice is pretty particular and definitely is a “ideal healthy” for a movie like this and does provide a positive kind of warm temperature to her person…. even though she’s extra in the latter half of the film.
The relaxation of the solid, including actor Jon Kenny (Les depressing and track of the ocean) as Ned the stringy woodcutter, actor John Morton (Lily’s bad Day and Vultures) as Stumpy, actor / manufacturer Oliver McGrath (the secret of Kells and The Musician) as nearby town bully Padraig, and director Nora Twomey (Breadwinner and the name of the game of the Kells) as the top housekeeper inside the Lord Protector’s scullery Bridget, spherical out the relaxation of the Wolfwalkers’s gamers in more minor assisting character roles. those particular characters (as you can actually imagine) are confined to being minor capacity, but each one has their own creative specialty (be it vocal abilities and / or character layout) to make them memorable.
final thoughts
In a time of English occupation in eire and mystical superstitions, a younger female befriends a atypical shapeshifter as the pair learns from each other and in the end come collectively help keep one another’s households in the film Wolfwalkers. Director Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart’s brand new projects sees the fourth film in caricature Saloon’s release in a super fashion of mixing poignant storytelling and creative artistry to help enrich an animated film with natural fanciful delight. The film is natural wonderment of magic and friendship and merits excessive reward from the movie’s administrators, a significant story, exceptionally extremely good style of animation, beautiful score, a solid voice acting across the board in all sides and positions. in my opinion, I cherished this movie.
It changed into something quite unique and extraordinary from the regular animated films of late and offers up this sort of delightful and significant tale of two younger girls which might be stuck up inside the greater occasions of the land. Plus, the film’s animation again is quite beautiful and i cherished it! for this reason, my advice for the film is a “notably
recommended” one because it ought to be seeing with the aid of all, mainly those who've a unique affinity for caricature capabilities with professional artistry and narrative integrity. With the realization of this film, cool animated film Saloon closes its bankruptcy on what it’s calling it “Irish Folklore” trilogy of films. What does that suggest for the future of the employer? Who knows? allow’s wish that the studio will keep more captivating features of diverse tales and myths, which includes more Irish folklore possibly. nevertheless, Wolfwalkers is a cinematic revel in that acts as a breath of fresh air; boldly taking visitors on an enchanting journey that both entertains and symbolizes what robust and palpable storytelling can arise from one of these small animated studio.

In my youth my family and I routinely went camping in central Pennsylvania multiple times per year during the scorching summer months. The journey to the campsite took the better part of a full day. This included packing the car to the brim, pulling over at rest stops every hour on the hour, and an arduous check-in process.
To me my father was an expert camper. He laid all tent stakes out with precision, erecting the complete three room tent in less than a half hour. Sizzling bacon and eggs on our portable griddle woke us up every morning. Overburnt s'mores and constantly shuffling our chairs around the fire to avoid the smoke was our nightly ritual. The afternoons were reserved for “chucking” buckets of bait into the nearby lake without many catches to show for it.
Long sessions kayaking left me with scrapes on my forearms from the oars and a sore back from sitting for so long. The lake was narrow but long. Long enough that you could almost feel the curve of the Earth when paddling from one end to the other. The campsites were all stationed on one side of the lake. Densely wooded dark foothills of an old “mountain” lined the shores of the other side. The “mountain” is more of a big hill at this point in geologic history, flattened by erosion and weathering from the 480 million years since these Appalachian Mountains were first uprooted. The lake was shallow but plummeted to eerie depths towards the center.
My sister and I rode our bikes along the trail that went around to all other campsites for hours. Nearly none of the sites were ever empty. There seemed to always be a family doing the same as us. Gravel crunched under our bicycle tires. Tiny cuts and scrapes on my arms and legs stung from the layers of alcohol-based bug spray my mother would apply to us. The campgrounds were enormous, at least to me.
Sometimes it would rain at night. I pretended that I didn’t enjoy those nights.
After I graduated from university I could tell my father felt the need to attempt to make a more concerted effort to hang out in “meaningful” ways. He still does. These efforts always involve the woods, mountains, lakes for some reason or another. The underlying message I gathered from this is that either those locations are a sanctuary for meaningful interactions, or that we need to distance ourselves from the comforts of society to make room for meaning. Either way I’m not convinced.
Nevertheless, I agreed to take a fishing day-trip back to the same lake we camped at so many times as a kid.
I lived in the city at the time and we agreed to meet in the outskirts at a quiet Lowe’s parking lot. He then drove us both out to the lake to fish for the day. The trip there felt quick. Maybe because we met in that parking lot a third of the way there, or because of our conversations about my new apartment and job.
We rented a canoe from the same sleepy “check-in” cabin that hadn’t changed in a decade. The grungy man behind the desk was surprised that we were out there so early on a weekday in April. I think the camping season hadn’t started yet.
We were out in the canoe for a few hours.
We didn't catch a thing.
I guess things really hadn’t changed.
There was the slightest hint that my father was trying to convince me that we were having fun even though we weren’t catching anything or getting any bites. He was trying to read the inflections from my responses to ensure I wasn’t bored.
I felt that I had to try my very best to ensure that I was not giving away any such inflections.
Why would I be? I was the farthest from being bored I think I will ever be.
Maybe he was bored in some way. Or maybe he felt that our not catching a fish worth telling stories about, and certainly not catching any fish at all was a sign that the trip out there on the seasonally warm spring day was a waste.
The boat was cramped. It turned out that you actually could not feel the curvature of the Earth. In fact, when stationed in the middle of the lake we could actually see both ends simultaneously.
Everything was too small. It was all wrong.
I’m not sure exactly when this feeling overwhelmed me. Perhaps the moment we arrived, or after a few casts of our lines, or maybe only when thinking back on these memories.
The trees seemed to shrink around me. The lake began to drain. When turning our canoe the tip of one end scraped the western shore and the other end bumped against the eastern shores. My father and I barely fit in the lake let alone the canoe. The fish fled this dying place. The coal town this lake bordered, once prosperous, now dried up. Grungy “check in” clerks are the only souls that remain.

Basically I believe the following things (about people in a general sense, I don't mean these apply to every man and woman):
I believe that it's thought that sexism towards women is so much more common than sexism towards men, across the world (especially in Muslim countries) and throughout history, even fairly recent history. (But my parents and sister told me it is more common but not so much more and that sexism is not about hating women nor seeing them as lesser inferior beings, that it's about men having had the roles of power and control, because they were stronger so exerted strength to get them, etc. But that women were also thought to have a just as important role, in the home.) They said violence towards women is not about hatred towards women but instead about power, control, men being physically stronger and testosterone. And that the men who commit domestic violence are also the types to get into physical fights with men in pubs, etc.
I believe it's thought that women like men as a gender more than men like women as a gender due to this. Because people think sexism means mistreating, hating, etc. And that it's thought women treat men better and with more respect.
I believe it's thought that women like men in a more well rounded way than men like women, because of sexism and because because people think men objectify women and "only want one thing" from women, and also that if you took sex away... men would prefer men in all other ways (they think women are unfunny, etc and they think that men are superior, etc.)
I believe it's thought that sexism towards men is only a thing as backlash against sexism towards women. So women who hate men hate them for how men treat women.
I believe traditional roles are not seen as equal but different and are instead seen as representing a belief that women are incapable and to serve men. I believe also that it's thought that women are defined by their relationships to men.
I believe that when men do typically female hobbies and jobs women propel them to success and praise them for the bare minimum (which they wouldn't do for a woman with the same skills), like drag queens and gay male makeup artists. But women doing typically male jobs or hobbies are held to higher standards, have to prove themselves more, are not given the same support and are even verbally abused or threatened online. (Female gamers, female Mps, in sport, female celebs, etc.) And that there are boy's clubs that are hostile towards women in male dominated workplaces, but not girl's clubs that are hostile towards men in female dominated workplaces. I believe that having female main characters, idols, etc is not something many men want nor can relate to, while male main characters, idols are fine for women.
I believe it's thought that women (especially teen girls) hate each other, get jealous, compete and have internalised misogny, but that men have stronger bonds, friendships and camaraderie. (Even though my psychologist told me that it's instead believed that women mostly support each other.)
My parents and sister told me I was wrong about all of these things and that most people don't think these things, my sister identifies as a feminist herself. But online and on Reddit everybody has the same views as me. Why the contrast? What are your opinions? (Also when I asked my psychologist, she had the same opinions as my family.)

I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but my sister is a huge fan of berserk and her birthday is coming up. I want to get her a custom tarot card deck but I have no idea which characters would be what. Please help!

Think I have a solid amount of espers and reso and I think it’s time I start pulling my weight in my club and getting out there in pvp. I’d appreciate any advice and team comps y’all got. Here’s my list Characters 5 star R2 Li ling R1 Tiye R1 Gaius R1 Clara R1 Ahmed Gabrielle Intisar Embla Ashley Tang Xuan Sally Hyde Jin Yuyao Cecelia Abigail Ife Biondina Fatum sisters Cang Ji
Characters 4 stars R4 Chloe Lin Xiao R6 Mona R6 Long Mian R3 Sander Dahlia R1 Alexa R1 Xiao Yin R4 Heng Yue R1 Asenath Anesidora R6 Li Guang R6 Stewart R4 Pritzker R6 Jiang Man R5 Celine R6 Eira R1 Djoser R1 Parmi Zhong Nan Koharu And then Suhua and R5 Melanie.
This list is actually quite long. I feel like I could’ve condensed this. Also I’m leaving out a few 4 stars to shorten it a lil but this strictly for just any pvp content. Mainly Holobattle and whatever knockout is. I appreciate anyone that bothers to read this far thx.

My niece had her phone taken away for not cleaning her room. To put it bluntly, it’s like an episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive in there. So, her phone got taken as punishment.
Today I went in there to find forks, spoons and cups because everything was missing from the kitchen. It’s an ongoing issue. Our kitchenware disappearing. Usually, I’ll find a bunch in her room.
This time I found a stray tablet in her room. Her mom(my sister) and I have no idea where it came from. But my sister took it away. My sister always knew she was up to something cooped up in her room all day.
Inside we found private messages of a role play community; my niece was part of it. It had roleplaying from animals, to anime characters to real life people like Dream. There is this specific person she met on Tik Tok that role plays with her all night and day. When they are not in character, they are professing their love to each other. We have no idea if this is another child or not. There was also nonstop spicy 18+ YouTube content she watches in between roleplaying. It’s crazy. It’s like a whole other life.
Bottom line, my sister is deeply concerned. Doesn’t really want her watching 18+ stuff or roleplaying with strangers online.
She wants to delete everything. Her accounts and social media. After talking it was decided that if we did that, she would hate us for life. We’re unsure what to do exactly. It’s come down to monitoring and banning certain sites.
Should we be doing this? It’s better than deleting but I don’t know.

I just watched a clip of Chloe talking about Marissa’s character and about how even after death Dre’s need to ride for he have her back.
It made wonder if Dre’s obsession with with Ni’Jah had more to do with the bond she shared with Marissa (the sister she always wanted) on the Ni’Jah Fandom.
Almost as if anyone bad mouthing Ni’Jah was also attacking Marissa.
The last thing that made me think this was Dre finally meeting Ni’Jah on stage and her having Marissa’s face. Like she got to see her sister again when she seen Ni’Jah

i have been replaying fnaf world of all games and after messing around with just the files to add the update 2 characters to my save at the start of the game and then i started to wonder just how much could i take this. of course the next natural step was to go from messing around with those files to see if there’s a way to create a whole new character and replace an old character, now obviously i cant do that from the text file i used to give me the update 2 characters and from what i’ve seen online all those mods were just some simple texture changes. what i’m looking for is some 3rd party software to directly change an entire character, name, attacks, and ofc the character itself. does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? i kinda lack expirence myself and i figured there must be someone who would maybe have a faint idea on which direction to point me in so if you have any clue on what to do please comment below with maybe some clear instructions, thank you in advance if you do comment something

Hello, this is a very heavy one. State is Oklahoma, names changed for safety. My nephew, Sam M(12), has been severely bullied the past two weeks. The kids have been going to the park by his house trying to jump him. They have been sending threatening and demeaning texts, he blocked the numbers everytime. The kids would get others phones and continue. Calling him up to 16 times at one point. Please know, I know the next part was wrong and my family is heartbroken and so confused. He sent a picture of a a gun case threatening to shoot them. The gun case did not have a gun in it, the gun was locked away in a safe. He said “I’m going to put a hole in your chest.” He has never done anything like this. He plays football and wrestles, he’s never been to the principal’s office or in any trouble. He’s a sweet, loving kid. He told the police “I didn’t plan to do it, I just wanted them to stop.” They took him to a juvenile center because there’s guns in the home. There is a hearing tomorrow. His wrestling coach is attending as a character witness.
My sister and I are just wanting to know if there’s anything we can do to prepare as there is no time to get a lawyer.

So, a few years back, I joined a game that was advertised in a Discord server I was in. The party consisted of my Dragonborn Cleric, a Halfling Bard, a Kobold Fighter, a Lynel (yes, from Legend of Zelda, but that's a whole other can of worms) Barbarian, and the aforementioned Drow Rogue. He was clearly TRYING to be a subversion of the edgy loner type rogue, being fairly social and personable, but he very quickly showed that was just a way to try and get away with being just the worst asshole.
This player was very much of the mindset that anything he did was fair game as long as it was "what his character would do", and he constantly made things harder for us as a result. Be it constantly going behind the party's back and only doing things via DMs with the DM, having no filter on extremely sensitive information, or just generally being unpleasant enough to cause the Bard's player to leave the game MULTIPLE TIMES. I don't blame the DM for this, as it was his first time running, and was learning to grow more assertive as the game went on.
This was a case where the most minor infraction I can remember is the time he secretly spent party funds to replace a broken window at the tavern we were staying at at the time, which sounds nice on paper, but what he got was a tacky, overdesigned, and expensive stained glass piece, for a rowdy bar where brawls and broken windows are a near daily occurrence. The owner, who did not even ask for his help, was less than amused and shattered it on the spot.
As for him being fast and loose with sensitive information, I can think of two specific examples. The first is when the party paid a visit to the town's criminal underbelly. We were, very justifiably, sworn to secrecy on the guild's location and operations. He loudly spilt the beans about our meeting almost immediately. The second was when the Bard's player came back to try things again with a new character, a Goblin Warlock. Goblins were under very heavy prejudice in this city, so she really wanted to keep her identity very secret, but told us as a gesture of trust. The Rogue deliberately blurts out her secret in the middle of a crowded street, much to her terror, and the player's frustration.
The absolute worst of it, was when he decided he wanted to investigate the city at night to learn more about the current plot point. My Cleric and the Warlock are both pissed at him at this point for multiple reasons, so we say we don't want to. This fucking guy decides to use Disguise Self to make himself look like MY character to try and trick the Warlock into joining, even though I was just vehemently against the plan not five minutes ago. This was the final straw, he didn't tell me he was going to do this, let alone ask if it was okay, and myself and the Warlock's player both called him out on how this was beyond uncool, ending the session early with me leaving the call, and the Warlock leaving the server for the second time.
The straw that broke the camel's back happened the next session, when he and the Fighter did the investigation. I was finally sick of his shit to the point that I didn't attend that session.
So the Cleric and the Warlock are not here but the other two (the Barbarian had already been kicked out at this point) wanna go explore the city.
The Rogue is really really sure the other players will be ok with him taking their gold coins. Our Fighter, who is a glorified cockfighting rooster, has been carving his way through everything that dared to piss him off is the one going "......mhhh maybe we just ask for one of those healing potions. I think that's prolly enough right"
And the Rogue keeps pushing and is about to start attempting to steal from a PC who isn't even at the table.
After multiple times of the DM trying to push him away from that course of action, he finally puts his foot down and has to outright tell him to knock it off. Before the next week had rolled around, that player was kicked from the game, and our Bard/Warlock returned permanently this time, now playing a Wizard. The Fighter brought one of his friends on to fill the vacancy and it quickly became a highlight of all our weeks, especially when we paid another visit to the Thieve's Guild, only to find the corpse of a certain Drow Rogue strung up as an example for anyone who might think about getting loose lipped like he did. He fucked around, he found out.

Basically I believe the following things (about people in a general sense, I don't mean these apply to every man and woman):
I believe that it's thought that sexism towards women is so much more common than sexism towards men, across the world (especially in Muslim countries) and throughout history, even fairly recent history. (But my parents and sister told me it is more common but not so much more and that sexism is not about hating women nor seeing them as lesser inferior beings, that it's about men having had the roles of power and control, because they were stronger so exerted strength to get them, etc. But that women were also thought to have a just as important role, in the home.) They said violence towards women is not about hatred towards women but instead about power, control, men being physically stronger and testosterone. And that the men who commit domestic violence are also the types to get into physical fights with men in pubs, etc.
I believe it's thought that women like men as a gender more than men like women as a gender due to this. Because people think sexism means mistreating, hating, etc. And that it's thought women treat men better and with more respect.
I believe it's thought that women like men in a more well rounded way than men like women, because of sexism and because because people think men objectify women and "only want one thing" from women, and also that if you took sex away... men would prefer men in all other ways (they think women are unfunny, etc and they think that men are superior, etc.)
I believe it's thought that sexism towards men is only a thing as backlash against sexism towards women. So women who hate men hate them for how men treat women.
I believe traditional roles are not seen as equal but different and are instead seen as representing a belief that women are incapable and to serve men. I believe also that it's thought that women are defined by their relationships to men.
I believe that when men do typically female hobbies and jobs women propel them to success and praise them for the bare minimum (which they wouldn't do for a woman with the same skills), like drag queens and gay male makeup artists. But women doing typically male jobs or hobbies are held to higher standards, have to prove themselves more, are not given the same support and are even verbally abused or threatened online. (Female gamers, female Mps, in sport, female celebs, etc.) And that there are boy's clubs that are hostile towards women in male dominated workplaces, but not girl's clubs that are hostile towards men in female dominated workplaces. I believe that having female main characters, idols, etc is not something many men want nor can relate to, while male main characters, idols are fine for women.
I believe it's thought that women (especially teen girls) hate each other, get jealous, compete and have internalised misogny, but that men have stronger bonds, friendships and camaraderie. (Even though my psychologist told me that it's instead believed that women mostly support each other.)
My parents and sister told me I was wrong about all of these things and that most people don't think these things, my sister identifies as a feminist herself. But online and on Reddit everybody has the same views as me. Why the contrast? What are your opinions? (Also when I asked my psychologist, she had the same opinions as my family.)
