Wandering Stars

Also, according to The Santa Clause 2, Santa has to be married in order to remain Santa, which means that the previous Santa must have been married - but there’s no Mrs. Clause around when Scott gets to the North Pole.  What happened to her?

And finally, I think this raises some pretty serious questions about Bernard’s sudden disappearance in between The Santa Clause 2 and 3.  Just how badly did Curtis want to be Head Elf?

There is a certain elegance to the way Horikoshi executes the plot-line of Boku no Hero Academia that is both thought provoking and impressive, putting the quality of its literary devices on par with several other great stories in its genre. The execution of said devices often ranges from being blatantly obvious to ridiculously subtle, and this is no exception for the strained and controversial relationship of Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya. 

I will admit that upon reading the series the first time, I came to the embarrassingly inaccurate conclusion that their interactions would never become extremely significant to the plot. However, this is not the only misjudgment their relationship has faced: it is often glossed over as irrelevant, unessential, and my all time favorite, “poorly written.” It’s disheartening because it is one of the most thematically rich and symbolically profound relationships in the narrative and it seems as if the fandom has subjected itself to only looking at their interactions through a romantic lens (even though they are tremendously important when analyzed from a platonic point of view). This makes it almost impossible for people to analyze their relationship without negative or positive bias.

But putting that context aside—or dare I say, erasing it altogether—if their bond is reduced to their refined and essential components, Bakugou and Midoriya are two dynamic and independent characters who are very similar and very different in several ways. The traits and features they highlight within each other are extremely important to the main themes of Boku no Hero Academia, and they can also symbolize certain elements the series emphasizes so greatly. 

Before we begin, I would like to preface this by saying that this is not a ship meta. I firmly believe that BNHA is not a romantic show and I seriously doubt that romance will ever be extremely vital to the plot, despite ships being the fandom’s main point of focus. Because of this, I wanted to create a meta that could be enjoyed by those who wish for these characters to develop but without the romantic bias that some meta writers tend to take on their relationship, which can be understandably undesirable and sometimes a bit off-putting. Therefore, we will be interpreting their interactions in a platonic light, but shippers are definitely welcome to read this as well if you take interest in their canon development and dynamics. 

This analysis will focus on the relationship of Bakugou and Midoriya from a narrative and thematic standpoint. We will discuss how it is a subplot of its own and how these interactions add another layer of depth to their characters and the story itself. That being said, if you dislike the relationship that Bakugou and Midoriya canonically have, believe that it is poorly written, or if you are searching for something to change your mind on these two opinions, this post is not for you. It is not my job to convince others and change stances that they have already solidified. I am only here to analyze their relationship and its importance to the plot from a narrative and thematic standpoint. You can choose to accept or reject these explanations, it’s up to you.

Webby isn’t quite sure what this all means. Somehow, though, she feels like he’s telling her something important. Like he understands the questions she’s asking. She tucks these words away, close to her heart, for a time when she’ll understand them. “I… see.”

He smiles. “I remember being your age… I was very lonely. Always looking for where I belonged.” He ashes his cigar. “There is no ‘where’. You don’t belong with places. You belong with people.”

PIKACHU SPEAKING ENGLISH

This was what I was talking about by saying Pikachu was speaking English. lmao the audience was exactly like my theater's reaction. BY FAR THE MONST WEIRDEST THING POKEMON HAS EVER DONE. like omg the fuck hell na so weird and awkward like naaa boy!

So, it’s official. The Constituent was approved. In the past 18 years, aka since Hugo Chávez was elected President of Venezuela, the government has altered election results to their benefit so it really isn’t strange to us that they would do it this time. However, we didn’t think they would be so shameless as to alter them this much. According to Tibisay Lucena (President of the Electoral Power) there was a total of 8.089.320 votes in favor of this Constituent, and these numbers simply don’t add. This past 16th of July a referendum was held where voters would have to answer to 3 questions about whether or not they agreed to move forward with the Constituent; the results? 6.492.381 votes made in Venezuela and 693.789 votes outside the country, meaning a total of 7.186.170 against the Constituent. While these two results add a total of 15.275.490 votes that fit under the 19.805.002 of venezuelans summoned to vote, here’s why yesterday’s number makes no sense:

 8.191.132 votes in favor of Hugo Chávez (Presidential elections of 2012). - While these numbers were most certainly altered, it’s no lie that at the time Chávez had a huge group of supporters, called Chavistas.

7.505.338 votes in favor of Nicolás Maduro (Presidential elections of 2013). - These elections were made because of the recent death of Chávez, who knew he didn’t have much time left so he decided to brainwash all of his supporters to think Maduro was the best option for president. May I add, Nicolás Maduro doesn’t have any kind of educational degree, he literally was a bus driver before becoming president. Totally unqualified man. All his votes were bought or made up.

5.599.025 votes in favor of the PSUV (Parliamentary elections of 2015) - PSUV stands for Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela and would roughly translate to “United Socialist Party of Venezuela“, I think. These elections were a big deal to the oposition (represented by the MUD aka “Democratic Unity Roundtable”), because we owned the National Assembly with 112 deputies (67%) and 7.707.422 votes (56,2% of the total votes)

I think I’ve made my point as to why yesterday’s result of 8.089.320 votes is nothing but blatant lies, except that’s not all! Turns out that, in these past days between the referendum (July 16) and yesterday (July 30), any person making a buy that required a fingerprint scan or using a “carnet de la patria” (an id recently made to “ease the access to social programs”) would count as a vote in favor of the Constituent. This government spends so much time looking for ways to stay in power because they know that the majority of the country is against them, and obviously they won’t acknowledge that they’re not as “loved” as they used to be, or else they wouldn’t ignore the protests that have been going on for the past 121 days with at least 128 confirmed deaths (17 of them happened only yesterday).

Now I’m going to explain why this Constituent being approved is literally confirming we’re living under a dictatorship.

Venezuela becomes a communal state.

Private enterprise will be eliminated.

All private sector employees become public employees.

The right to private education will be eliminated. From preschool to universitary sector, including adoctrinamiento político on all levels of education.

Means of social communication will be at the service of communist power.

University autonomy will be eliminated.

Municipalities will be eliminated.

The president of the republic is the only one able to choose governors and mayors, without taking into account the opinion of the people.

The presidential term will last between 20 and 30 years, with chance of indefinite reelection, applicable to the current president.

The movement of citizens inside of the country will be limited, meaning you’ll need an official permit to travel around Venezuela.

International departures will be limited, meaning you’ll need an official permit to get out of the country.

All powers, public and private, disappear.

The armed force disappears, becoming fighting bodies integrated into the government’s party.

All political parties will be eliminated.

The right to protest will be eliminated.

Opposing or thinking differently than the government will be a crime of betrayal to the motherland, meaning freedom of speech disappears.

Article 350 of the actual Constitution, that establishes you can disown the authority when the Constitution is violated, will be eliminated.

Authorities can break into your house without a warrant.

People’s houses can’t be sold or inherited, becoming propiety of the state.

Life guarantee will be restricted, the regime has now custody of people’s lives.
