So, I may be the only one thinking this, but sometimes I think AoT/SnK is a scary, intense, traumatizing, version of the BFG, Big Friendly Giant. Has anyone else read it? Anyone agree with me or am I overthinking and letting my imagination run wild like usual? :)

The amazing Digital circus theory

So what if other than a performer /characters/clown (or whatever Caine calls his players) other than losing your sanity and what's left of your patience, what if there was another reason one would abstract and become exactly what Kaufmo turned into , and that being a little thing I would like to call OPF "Organic phantom feelings" ,

That being that sense every single human that has entered the digital circus (via headset) ,hasn't felt any human and/or organic functions the body does . Other than puking bleeding and/or as seen with Gangle or with Ragatha when she was at Kaufmo's funeral , crying.

So this is how I think OPF would work, Organic phantom feelings (or Opf) is this strange weird feeling you feel in your body when one would start to have this feeling where a human would start to feel hungry or would start to feel as if they need to pee or ect. but is incapable of doing so for a few reasons

1. They're incapable of doing so sense they're digital now

2. They no longer have any genitals

3. Just like Gooseworx said, they no longer really have to eat (eating it more like trying to keep your autonomy and/or just for comfort )

And lastly 4. Their bodies no longer work like a normal humans now sense they're stuck in the Digital circus forever

And what if one of those symptoms of that were:

▪︎Nonstop hunger (even after having eaten)

▪︎A sinking strange feeling in the pit of stomach and pelvis , with a hint of pain most of the time (a for the female characters like Pomni ,Ragatha, and Gangle)

▪︎Restlessness

▪︎Chemical imbalance

▪︎Irritability

Because when it comes to being hungry let's remember how in S1 Ep1 where after Jax talked about being hungry , Gangle said in response "But you didn't even do anything." ,Jax responds with "Yeah, but I can still be hungry" .

So in retrospect, what if as these feelings continued and would often be such an on and off this that the digital body would often can't compute and handle the organic and complex human feelings so bad that it'll overheat and combust , resulting in abstraction

"Why do you have to put down my dreams, so you're the only thing on my mind?"

I have reason to believe that 'Tell Me Why' is one of the most powerful songs Taylor Swift has written.

What makes this song great is its versatility; the lyrics can be applied to any situation wherein an abusive power dynamic between two parties is involved. TS described it as being about a tug of war in which "someone always kind of has the upper hand." With that in mind, the perspectives are endless. Depending on whom you talk to, this song could be about gender, racial, or wealth inequality, classism, even.

This versatility is what helps a song maintain its relevance. It's what makes some songs timeless. Music that isn't shackled to specific eras or circumstances has the capacity to be appreciated longer, and by wider audiences, because it doesn't shut people out. This is the music that can live on forever and ever. To me, that's power.

It is this style of songwriting that TS has mastered - that delicate balance between confession and ambiguity in her lyrics that gives you a sense of something she might have experienced, but also isn't so personal as to exclude the possibility of that experience being echoed by millions of other people.

This is Taylor's unique talent, and 'Tell Me Why' exemplifies it perfectly.

Zootopia spoilers, I guess:

When I watched Zootopia the first time, I honestly thought it was going in the direction of the savages being animals who contracted rabies. Especially after seeing the scene with Manchas, I thought: 'Oh, Emmit scratched him, and because of that, he contracted rabies from him.'

...So, what I'm saying is: The actual plot of the movie was disappointing, tbh.

People assuming the predators were going savage only to figure out it's not the predators at all, but a virus that makes you super aggressive and violent? That just sounds interesting. Discounting entirely the sucky 'twist villain' thing. Making the movie have no real villain other than the discovery of a crazed viral outbreak?

...Maybe that's just the zombie fanatic in me talking, but I honestly think that would've made for a way more interesting movie.

A good theory with a secret affair between Q and Picard is what I love. Spicy and intriguing, just the way I like it. Although I won't say that the second option is equally intriguing. Q watching Picard would not be unusual, and I can honestly see him doing it. Q as a species are much more observational, so it wouldn't be strange if Q refrained from interfering and simply observed the captain while learning about him.

Q is both a voyeur and an exhibitionist, this may be due to the nature of his species, but I beg to differ if Picard were the one to observer him- you know how it would end. And this is what makes the second theory seem much more true…. Aghr it's really twisted (in a really superb way).

So literally, I can't shake the impression that indeed Q was visiting Picard and the latter was aware of this, somehow participating in these encounters. Literally, “learning about you is frankly provocative” as if there must be something going on here.

In Q Who, when Q says the following:

"After our last encounter, I was asked to leave the Q Continuum. Since then I've been wandering. ..Then, I remembered all the good times I had with you."

Notice how Q puts emphasis on the last word-*you* while looking very focused on Picard.

Of course, Riker cuts into the conversation with reminders if Q's past shenanigans with the crew. Q just dismisses him, only focusing like a laser on Picard. He and Picard might have just as well been all alone in that room, or simply on the shuttlecraft.

I've posted a few times before on my blog how in this episode, Guinan grapples with a familiar "feeling" that she has had "a couple of times before" while on the Enterprise. This scene takes place while Picard is in the shuttlecraft with Q.

At the moment, she doesn't know it was Q she had been sensing. Q didn't even know she was on the ship, either until he popped into Ten Forward.

Gut feeling, my Qcard friends, is that Q visited Picard on multiple occasions between episodes Hide n Q and Q Who. Unless Picard has been having a secret love affair with him all along and they are putting on an act for the crew, Picard has not been aware of Q's personal visits.

What is Q implying by "good times with you (Picard)"??????

I wouldn't blame him if he snuck a peek at Picard under his bed sheets, or even copped a feel.

But that entity has been chasing Picard all the while Picard wasn't even aware of it.
