In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.
Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.
Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.
And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.
How do you know so much about the social dynamics of medieval fairies
Food is a right only if it is your private property. You have no right to food that does not belong to you; you have no right to food that you have not purchased or produced.
Yo shut up
scarcity matters when things are actually scarce, and food is abundant. economics is fake.
The Earth is the common property of all jackasses. If someone is starving they have a right to food. If they are thirsty they have a right to a drink. And if they are homeless they have a right to a roof. If society can provide these things but doesn’t then that person is being robbed of whats rightfully theirs.
we produce enough food globally to feed around 10 billion people a year, there is no reason why anyone should go hungry
someone needs to teach the bootlickers about the concept of false scarcity
I dont know anything about dragonball and have no intention of getting into it, I just want to know what leads Vegeta, who I understand is the prince of space or something, to turn good, settle down, get a beautiful wife and wear a pink blouse
saiyans have a natural attraction to people with dominating personalities. frieza is dead and so is his home planet so he doesnt really have anywhere better to be. besides goku is on earth most of the time and hes gotta keep tabs on him so he can try to surpass him in power. he DID actually go back to being horribly evil during the majin vageta but his pride overcame his corruption when goku pointed out that he took a shortcut and the power wasnt his own.
Gentle reminder that the most respectful way to honor Jewish ppl who have passed is to say “may their memory be a blessing” or something along those lines. RIP is a Christian honorific.
people with bad taste are always like “yurr hurr The Beach is about zuko and mai and how they’re a great couple” while intellectuals know that Actually The Beach is about mining any and all of the untapped friendship potential of this striking exchange
One of the best twist moments in Avatar is when Ty Lee suddenly and dramatically turns against Azula at the Boiling Rock. Azula was completely convinced that Ty Lee would obey her without question forever, but Azula wasn’t the only one fooled. Mai is just as shocked when Ty Lee rebels as Azula is. Ty Lee’s survival instincts were so sharp that she never let anyone know what she was thinking, not Azula, not Mai, and certainly not Zuko.
Zuko really believed that Ty Lee didn’t understand who he was at all. He completely bought into the act that she’s just a puppet for Azula, who lives in her “little Ty Lee world where everything’s great all the time”. But the thing is, Ty Lee is one of the most perceptive characters in the show, and she’s excellent at keeping that on the down low, but she sees a lot more of Zuko than he thinks, and a lot of what she sees is very familiar to her.
Overshadowed by prodigious siblings?
Wanting to be acknowledged for the talents you have rather than the talents you don’t?
Kept in line by fear?
Spending your whole life bending over backwards to fit the persona the royal family has set for you?
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
