Becomes Amarantha’s pet to “save Velaris”...

Sacrificing the continent for one city.

Then gives that city up at the first possible opportunity to save the continent

Let’s get this straight:

Rhys sacrifices himself for 49 years to keep Velaris hidden and safe.

Claims it was the only option. Like, sorry Prythian, guess the rest of the continent gotta suffer as long as Velaris stays untouched.

Whole-ass war, people enslaved, murdered, territories falling—and he just sits pretty playing Amarantha’s puppet to protect his one city.

But then suddenly, in ACOMAF: “Oh no, Hybern’s coming 😔 gotta open the gates and bring Velaris into it now.” Like. Bro. YOU made this moral trade for half a century, and now you’re just done?

So when it was your guilt on the line, Velaris came first. But when you have to play the hero of the ady—you sacrificed Velaris without blinking.

So which is it? Did you really protect Velaris for the greater good—or was it always just about your pride?

Bale, ang Pinoy Racism… sa kapwa Pinoy lang

Napanood at nabasa ko lang sa internet yung term na “intraracial racism.” Hindi ko siya inimbento. Hindi ko rin siya pinag-aralan nang pormal. Pero nung narinig ko siya, parang may kumatok na pamilyar. Parang hindi bagong konsepto, kundi bagong pangalan lang sa luma nang ugali.

Sabi doon, posible daw maging racist ang isang tao sa sarili niyang lahi. At sa Pilipinas, hindi ito mahirap hanapan ng halimbawa. Hindi ito yung klasikong racism na iniisip ng karamihan. Walang lahing ibang tinatamaan. Sariling atin ang target.

May hierarchy kahit pare-pareho tayong Pilipino. Kulay ng balat. Punto ng salita. Lugar na pinanggalingan. Antas ng buhay. Maputi ka, may lamang ka. Moreno o maitim, may kasunod na biro o duda. Galing ka sa Maynila, parang default na “mas may alam.” Galing ka sa probinsya, parang may kailangang patunayan.

Hindi ito laging lantaran. Minsan biro lang. Minsan “ganun talaga.” Pero paulit-ulit. At dahil paulit-ulit, nagiging normal.

At dahil dyan, napaisip tuloy ako. Hindi na sa nalaman ko, kundi sa nakikita at napapansin.

Habang malaya tayong maghusga sa kapwa Pilipino, iba ang kilos natin sa banyaga. Biglang may control. Biglang may effort. Biglang may kabaitan na halos scripted.

Hindi ko sinasabing peke lahat. Pero hindi rin siya ganap na natural.

Parang may silent agreement: Kapag banyaga ang kaharap mo, dapat mabait ka. Dapat magalang ka. Dapat ipakita mo na “ganito ang Pilipino.”

Kasi kapag umuwi siya sa bansa niya at nagkuwento, hindi lang ikaw ang nire-represent niya. Buong Pilipinas.

Kaya ang nangyayari, nagiging parang walking advertisement ang Pilipino. Hindi lang tao, kundi promo material.

“Punta kayo sa Pilipinas, mababait kami.”

Hindi mo man sabihin nang direkta, pero nandun yung intent. Parang sales talk na hindi mo inamin sa sarili mo.

At syempre, may kapalit iyon. Turismo. Opportunity. Good image.

Samantalang sa kapwa Pilipino, wala namang kailangang i-maintain na imahe. Kilala ka na. Kilala mo na sila.

Kaya doon lumalabas yung totoo.

Doon ka malayang manghusga. Doon ka hindi nagfi-filter. Doon mo nilalabas yung standard mo, kung sino ang “lamang” at kung sino ang “kulang.”

Hindi lahat ng Pilipino ganito. May mga taong patas. May mga hindi tumitingin sa kulay o pinanggalingan. May mga hindi kailangang mag-adjust depende sa kausap.

Pero hindi rin maikakaila na may pattern.

At minsan, ang pinaka-ironic na parte nito ay hindi tayo bastos sa ibang lahi, pero nagiging malupit tayo sa sarili natin.

Parang mas kaya nating respetuhin ang hindi natin kapareho, kaysa sa kapwa natin.

Siguro kasi sa banyaga, wala tayong comparison. Sa kapwa Pilipino, puno tayo ng sukatan.

Sa dulo, hindi ito simpleng usapan ng pagiging mabait o hindi.

Mas malalim siya doon.

Kasi kung ang kabaitan mo ay nakadepende sa kung sino ang kaharap mo, hindi na siya kabaitan.

And no matter where you run, they will find you. Because heterosexuals like to play with their food before they eat it. They enjoy the feeling of terrorizing you out of your homes, your safe zones. They think they are invincible, think they are "normal". These monsters will always be one doorstep away from blowing down everything we have worked for. Because they believe they can get away with anything.

Imagine a world where it was us in power. A world where you could breathe in peace, a world where straight people were too afraid to be themselves. Whenever I tell my fellow queer people this, they always say they don't want to treat the monsters the way they treat us.

But let me tell you something; a wolf will continue to be a wolf until something bites it back. Fire burns all in its path until it comes to water, which instantly kills it. The hunter will never stop hunting until he knows what it feels like to be hunted.

A new president may come today and take the Throne and maybe he will be a better man. Maybe you can breathe a little easily. But mind you that when the next one comes and he is a heterosupremist, everything you and your so-called allies worked for will be crumbled in a second.

Why?

Because as queer people, your rights are BARGAINABLE!

Straight people can proudly stand up and tell the world that you don't deserve human rights and other straight people will agree.

They never gave us freedom, they only gave us a longer leash.

Until the day you open your eyes to see them for what they are, for what they have always been, that's when the journey begins.

Let me ask you; are you a coward or a homosexual?

Uncomfortable Truths About Men, Feminism, and the Reality No One Wants to Admit

**Disclaimer: If you think this is “misogynistic,” you should see what I say about weak men. Pointing out reality isn’t an attack—it’s just reality. The fact that it stings says more about you than it does about me.**

📌 1. Men Are NEVER Actually Intimidated by Women Physically – They Just Play Along

Ladies, let’s be honest: when a man tells you he finds a woman “intimidating”, he’s lying—and doing so out of kindness.

No masculine man is ever physically scared of a woman.

The strongest woman on her best day is weaker than the most average man.

Men tolerate delusions because crushing your feelings isn’t worth the trouble.

Feminist narratives love the idea that men are shaking in their boots at “strong women.” In reality? Men just don’t feel like dealing with the drama.

Reality Check: If men were truly “scared” of women, there wouldn’t be weight classes in sports.

📌 2. No Masculine Man, Given a Choice, Would Ever Defer to a Woman

Let’s get real: the idea that men secretly want to submit to female leadership is another hallmark of delusional thinking.

Men allow feminist ideas to be spoken.

Men tolerate being told what’s "right" or "wrong."

But when it comes to real decisions that matter, men take charge—because nature designed them that way.

The only time men act deferential? When society forces them to. And the moment they don’t have to? They stop playing along.

Reality Check: The “strong, independent woman” idea is allowed to exist because men are infinitely kind.

📌 3. Women Would Rather Be Eaten Alive By a Bear Than Encounter a Male Stranger? 😂

You ever heard modern women say:

“I’d rather run into a bear than a man in the woods.”

Really? REALLY?

You’d rather be ripped apart, piece by piece, taint and cervix-first, while still alive and screaming for help?

You’d rather have your intestines gnawed on as you scream in agony?

You’d rather be a fresh, bloody snack for a wild animal than risk an encounter with a man who may or may not even acknowledge your presence?

This is where modern feminist fear-mongering jumps the shark. And worse? It completely insults actual survivors of sexual assault.

You’re claiming assault is a fate worse than brutal death?

You’re telling actual survivors they’d be better off never surviving?

You’re implying that being mauled to death is a noble alternative?

Reality Check: If this is your mindset, you don’t need feminism—you need therapy.

📌 4. Why Traditional Women Think “Male Feminists” Are Just Creepier Versions of Regular Men

Let’s be honest—men who loudly declare themselves “male feminists” have an agenda.

And no, it’s not about “equality.” It’s about getting into gullible panties.

Masculine men see it.

Traditional women know it.

Modern women? Keep falling for it.

Every time a “male feminist” gets caught assaulting a woman, cheating, or being a total fraud, people act shocked. Meanwhile, actual masculine men are like:

“We literally tried to tell you.”

These men agree with everything you say because they know you’ll reward them.

They parrot feminist talking points because they know virtue-signaling gets them laid.

They pretend to be allies while still pumping and dumping you like every other dude.

Then, after getting used and discarded, women turn around and blame ALL men, when in reality?

It was the fake “feminist men” screwing you over the whole time.

📌 5. The Harsh Truth About “Chads” & Why Women Keep Choosing the Same Men Who Hurt Them

Let’s talk about Chad.

You know—the guy every woman wants, but none of them can actually keep.

Chad is attractive.

Chad has options.

Chad has zero reason to commit.

But modern women? They convince themselves:

“I’M the one who will change him.”

No, sweetie. You’re not special.

He has 20 other women just like you.

He will sleep with you, then leave you.

You will call ALL men “dogs” because of the actions of a few dudes who were way out of your league.

Meanwhile, the regular, decent, masculine men on your level? The ones who would treat you well?

You ignored them.

Reality Check: Chad didn’t "use" you. You used yourself.

📌 6. You’re Not a “10,” No One is “Undiscovered” by Vogue, and You’re Not Special

Modern women rate themselves as 10s while wondering:

“If I’m a perfect 10, why hasn’t a rich, famous, high-value man claimed me?”

Because you’re not a 10.

Real 10s are on magazine covers.

Real 10s don’t have to declare it.

Real 10s are actively pursued by the highest-status men.

If Vogue hasn’t “discovered” you, it’s not because of some conspiracy against regular women.

Reality Check: Women want hypergamy—but they forget that the men they want… can do better.

"It's remarkable to see people so passionate and committed to their causes, even when they may not have all the facts on their side.

This unwavering dedication is truly rare and beautiful, especially when it requires courage to stand up against opposing views. But in our willingness to do whatever it takes to be 'right' we often forget that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and perspectives. We must acknowledge that our own convictions don't necessarily make them universally true. Just because someone believes their actions are justified doesn't automatically make them so."

What's striking, though, is how people are so invested in their own truths, fighting for what they believe in, without necessarily considering alternative perspectives. It's as if we're all competing in a game to be 'right,' where everyone wants to emerge as "the winner"... But what's the real prize in this game, anyway?..

Perhaps we can break free from this cycle by adopting a different approach. Rather than clinging to our own viewpoints, let's aim to understand and learn from each other's perspectives. Not because we have to, but because considering multiple angles can give us a more complete picture – a bird's eye view, so to speak.

To truly absorb new information, we need to let go of our subjective biases, our tendency to dismiss opposing views, and our judgmental attitudes. We need to stop taking everything so personally and just... stop...

So, let's take a break from this constant need to be 'right all the time' and ease our minds a bit.

Maybe then we can find a more harmonious path forward, where we celebrate our differences and learn to appreciate the beauty in our unique views.

..."So, I’ve been thinking—maybe the complexity we add to existence isn’t really about the world itself, but about us. We have a tendency to over complicate things because we’re uncomfortable with simplicity.

It’s like, when we’re avoiding something—whether it’s facing the truth or taking responsibility—we add layers to make it harder to deal with. We start blaming others, coming up with excuses, or just denying things altogether.. and it made me wonder if, on a bigger scale, we do the exact same thing with existence. We’re so uneasy with the idea that everything just is—that it’s exactly what it is, without any need for explanation or validation—that we end up creating all these stories, beliefs, and philosophies to fill in the gaps..

But what if we stopped?...

What if we could just let things be?

What if we stripped away all the complexity and just acknowledged that everything, in its simplest form, is enough?

No need for an explanation, no need for anything to prove its worth... I think that’s what scares us the most.

If we accept that existence is enough just as it is, we have to ask ourselves: Am I enough just as I am?.. No need to earn validation, no need for achievements or justifications to prove my worth. That’s the hard part. We’ve been trained to think that our worth has to be earned, that simplicity isn’t enough.

But maybe that’s where the beauty is. When we stop trying to explain it all, when we stop searching for meaning outside of existence itself, we realize that it doesn’t need any of that. Existence doesn’t need validation. It doesn’t need to explain itself. It just is. And that, in its purest form, is beautiful.

So maybe the point isn’t to figure out how it all started or why we’re here. Maybe it’s to let go of the need to complicate it and just be. To appreciate existence for what it is, without all the layers we’ve added on. To let go of the stories and just embrace the truth that everything is exactly as it is—and maybe, just maybe, that’s enough..
