My name is Papyrus the great and I am the coolest skeleton alive. To the outside world, I’m an ordinary sentry, but with the help of Undyne and my brother, Sans, I train to become a member of the royal guard. One day, I will capture a human and fulfill my dreams. I am Coolskeleton95
Based off of evidence gathered primarily from chapter 2′s pacifist and snowgrave route, this theory states that Noelle accidentally froze Dess to death and Asgore was fired from the force because of it. Throughout each mention of Dess, it is always in past tense. While it is possible that she might of moved away, we are given indication or mention of Dess’s current situation. It is instead through Berdly’s anecdote about how Noelle broke down after being asked to spell December do we learn of Dess’s fate. We already know that Dess is short for December from earlier when we spelt it out with Noelle. Furthermore, we know it can’t be from stress. While Noelle is presented as an anxious individual, she was still able reach the finals and December is not a particularly hard word to spell. Nor can it be due to simply missing Dess in the same way that Kris does with Asriel. Based off of Noelle’s and Birdie’s age as children in the flashback along with the assumption that Dess is around Asriel’s age than Dess should of still been present in her life. So ruling those out and based off the intensity of Noelle’s reaction, Dess must of died sometime before the spelling bee. As to the cause of Dess’s death, I do not believe that Asgore was in anyway directly responsible for it, accident or not. Rudy still holds Asgore in good regards nor is he in prison. Considering that Noelle’s mother is mayor (who we’ll call Carol here) as seen through the similiarities between our various characters mention the two, then if Asgore was directly responsible for Dess’s death than he’ll likely be in prison. So no, Asgore has nothing to do with Dess’s death. It was Noelle who was the one who killed Dess due to stress triggering her ice magic. When we check out the frozen aisle section at Sans’s grocery store, we learn that Noelle would often stare blankly into the frozen aisle section. Then, if you play the Snowgrave route, the several instances in which Noelle uses her ice magic on a strong scale such as with the puzzles, the shopkeeper and finally Berdly, it always triggers due to some sort of stress and involves her blacking out during it. While we know that magic isn’t as prevalent among monsters as it is Undertale, we know it still has to exist in some manner due to Catti mentioning how she was doing research on occult stuff and magic at the diner. Noelle’s magic in the light world likely isn’t as strong as it is in the Dark World but it still would of been enough to kill someone especially during winter. Noelle likely killed Dess when a stressful situation triggered her ice magic. The exact cause is difficult to assume. However, based of Dess’s desire to leave for the big city and how their mother can be hard, I believe that Dess tried running away and Noelle ended up tagging along. The two quickly became lost during which the fear and stress that Noelle would of been experiencing triggered her ice magic and blacking out. Carol, not knowing where her daughters are and with an unexpected snowstorm, orders Chief Asgore to send a search party for them only to instead find Dess’s body and Noelle unconscious in the snow. Carol, blaming Asgore for failing to find Dess in time, forces the Police to remove him leading to a rookie Undyne to suddenly being given the position of Chief. Asgore also blaming himself would end up cutting ties with Rudy unable to confront him due to his guilt and is likely one of the factors which lead to his and Toriel’s divorce. Noelle meanwhile would of have no recollection of the event instead believing everyone else that Dess froze to death thus also developing a trigger for extreme cold. So in short, Noelle accidentally killed her sister with ice magic and Asgore instead takes the blame for failing to find them in time.

A conversation between Prosecutor!Undyne and Mettaton EX
When looking at Jimmy's rape of Anya and Curly's failure to address it, I think it's important to recognize Pony Express's own role in it. Like with other workplaces, Pony Express's policies not only enables but encourages and protects Rapists. Within the opening scene, when Jimmy steers the ship towards the asteroid, the entire crew has their pay docked despite being completely unaware of what Jimmy is doing. Just like the crash, Pony Express's policies forces the entire crew to bare the consequences of Jimmy's actions. Rather than discourage Jimmy's actions, all it does is punish the rest of the crew as well. Anya was afraid to speak up about Jimmy raping her not only because the power he held over her as Co-Captain and him being Curly's best friend, but also the fear that if she speaks than she and the rest of her crewmates would be punished as well. She, along with everyone else except Daisuke and maybe Curly, were all struggling financially as well. If Anya's rape was reported to Pony Express, then the crew's entire pay would be docked. They would punish Anya and the rest of the crew for her pregnancy. So instead, she remains quiet and is forced to endure Jimmy's abuse and sexual harassment until her pregnancy puts her in a place where she can longer hide it. Furthermore, asides from Curly's own enabling of Jimmy's horrid actions and his own misplaced empathy, Pony Express policies discouraged Jimmy from taking action. Yet unlike Anya, Curly's ignorant to just how awful Pony Express is. While we don't know exactly how long Curly's been working for Pony Express, like his friendship with Jimmy, we can assume it's been for a while. And like his friendship with Jimmy, Curly is not only ignorant towards, but also downplays and excuses Pony Express's harmful behavior.
Anya: "Why do you think Pony Express puts a lock on the medical room doors but not the sleeping quarters?" Curly: "I suppose for the same reason they put a lock on the cockpit. Safety." Rather than recognize the lack of privacy for his crewmates as a problem, he instead tries to excuse and rationalize Pony Express's actions. Similar to how he tries to rationalize Jimmy's awful character. Curly's employment with Pony Express mirrors his friendship with Jimmy where his passivity enables their abusive behavior and hurts those around him as well. Not only does Curly refuse to speak up or do anything about Anya's rape or the lack of locks, but he also: 1) Fails to object when they're forced to take in an intern despite only having enough resources and cryopods for 4 people. 2) Doesn't say anything about the unsafe working environment for both Swansea and Daisuke. 3) How Anya's not only the nurse but also women on the ship while everyone. Like with Jimmy, Curly's blind loyalty and passivity towards Pony Express, enables their awful abuse. Instead of doing the right thing and accept the consequences that come with it, he instead chooses to remain blind and takes the easy way out. Now none of this excuses either Jimmy's or Curly's actions or lack thereof. Jimmy's still responsible for raping Anya, trying to kill everyone in a suicide crash and forcing everyone to suffer. Meanwhile, Curly's the one who decided to hire Jimmy as Co-Captain despite being aware that he's an Ex-con, not Pony Express. Yes, they allowed it when they shouldn't of, but it was ultimately Curly's decision to hire him. And Curly still holds the blame for placing his friendship with Jimmy over Anya's safety and the rest of his crew. However, Pony Express's policies and workplace culture created an environment where Anya is forced to remain silent, Jimmy's sexual abuse of her is enabled, and the only person able to help her, Curly, is too submissive towards them both for him to be of any of help.
Calling your state and local politicians is a better tactic than emails; phone calls are more difficult to ignore plus you'll have a better impact compared to written words. During the call, make it clear that unless they're willing to protect net neutrality, you will not vote for them during next elections. If a bunch of politicians feel they might lose the elections over net neutrality, they might pressure the government as well.
As for raising awareness, while Blogs, YouTube videos, Reddit and Facebook posts are helpful, there are people out, older folks, who don't use the internet. As such, it is important to be willing to raise awareness in person either one on one or with others.
The library analogy is a good explanation on net neutrality and its importance.
So imagine you head to the library to burrow some books for a biology assignment. The librarian let's you take out any books you want without delay or extra cost, regardless of her opinions. This what net neutrality looks like essentially.
Now imagine you head back there again for your assignment and there a new librarian. She only lets you take out books she approves of and stops or significantly delays you from taking out the books she doesn't like. But wait, if you pay her $20 bucks, she'll let you take out those unapproved biology books right away. Now you don't have $20, so you decide to go to a different library than you remember this is the only library in town. So in the end you fail because you couldn't take out the books you needed. This is what happens when you get rid of net neutrality.
and you haven’t done anything to fight for net neutrality, now is the time! We only have 5 days left to stop the government and the FFC. Please call and email people or else blogs like mine and many more will dissapear… Applying for jobs will be harder… Schools and libraries will be at harm… Globalization will be compromised in general, so please take the time to do something.
Genshin Impact is the story of a tourist getting trapped in a foreign land and forced to find their missing sibling. Only to then give up 6 hours in and instead let 4 random locals do it while they take all the credit for their achievements.
I really wish y'all wait till you actually read the epilogue rather than ranting about leaks, untranslated pages, and shitty translations before complaining. Stop basing your opinions on BNHA solely through leaks. You want to complain about MHA's ending? Fine, go ahead, but do so after you actually read it. I swear to Fuck, it feels like half of y'all don't even read the Manga and just base your opinion off what others say online.
here my stupid ass talk and complain about stupid ass shit. I'm probably gonna piss a few, a lot, most, everyone with the shit that spews out of my mouth.
