Existentialism won’t stop

Since I was about 8 I’ve had existentialism’s , constantly and the only way to deal with it was to not deal with it, to ignore it. I’ve never fully fit in I have friends but I never truly adapted to regularities like your race truly who I am and when I saw others do it I cringed it felt weird to me because when I think of it truly it feels like it matters so little I see Mexican people listening to Spanish songs and wearing sombreros and I can’t help but look away. It feels so weird that people care about who or what they are besides curiosity it matters so little and people genuinely care about their colors/melatonin and where their ancestors lived. Not only race and culture that confuses me but something that hurts me is the random remembrance of the fact that after death absolutely anything could happen and you can’t just say something like “it’s after death you can’t do anything about it just live your life” but how do I know that I can’t do anything about it what if a religion is right and I’m making the wrong choice what if I get tortured for all of eternity and that that matters the most no matter what happens on earth that is the ultimate trump to anything on earth is the fact you could be tortured for eternity even if it isn’t part of a religion.

How do I stop being so existential

Since I was about 8 I’ve had existential crisis, constantly and the only way to deal with it was to not deal with it, to ignore it. I’ve never fully fit in I have friends but I never truly adapted to regularities like your race truly who I am and when I saw others do it I cringed it felt weird to me because when I think of it truly it feels like it matters so little I see Mexican people listening to Spanish songs and wearing sombreros and I can’t help but look away. It feels so weird that people care about who or what they are besides curiosity it matters so little and people genuinely care about their colors/melatonin and where their ancestors lived.

Should I watch the live action?

I hear a lot about the live action being bad but I loved the show so much and I want more avatar content and for a lot of live action shows based off cartoons you have to think of it as a stand alone show, if you’ve seen it do you think it would work or is it just a bad show in total not good even as a stand alone.

Edit: I’ve watched episode 1 and it wasn’t bad but a lot of parts I cringed hard at like when Aang flew, I heard it gets better tho so I’ll keep watching

Turns out my dad wants to start a cult

I’m 15 the youngest of my family for most of my life I didn’t know my dad as he went to prison when I was 3 and for most of my life I didn’t even know what he did to go to prison. Up until I was 10 I only knew he went to jail for horrible reasons but until my mom told me I was unknowing he went to jail for a heinous crime of rape on a underage and incest, he SA’d my sister when she was extremely young he’s a sick person I read the report about it and it’s unbelievably disgusting he’s a horrible human being and he doesn’t deserve kids but even with that fact it can’t help that I’m curious about him he was my dad and I’ve never even met him. when I can from Alaska down to New York for my sisters wedding I stayed at my oldest brothers house (important part I left out, my mom said my dad messaged my brother from jail in 2018 but wouldn’t tell me what it was) in the night after he went to bed I saw a open box that said “(his names) cult stuff” I opened it and there was a giant Christian bible (no hate to Christianity this has nothing to do with that he’s just a bad person) and under it was about 50 pages of in extreme detail of a giant circular building called “Immanuel circle” that had messages to my brother telling him how to build it and to trademark the logo ect. He’s not even a architecture, but he sent this to my brother hoping he would build it, my dad was going to use this building to exploit people and he might still do it when he gets out. (I might be able to get some pictures of the designs). Honestly this is one of the biggest if not the biggest pieces of info I’ve ever heard and it left me petrified when I first read it I had no idea what to do.

Did chick fila fall off or did my taste buds just change

I live in Alaska and there isn’t one chick fila there and 6 years ago I visited Florida to see my cousins and loved the chick fila and I recently tried it again after I came to for my sisters wedding and it was atrocious, it was dry unseasoned especially the fries (barely any salt) and they forgot the sauce the spicy burger was alright but with sauce it would be so much better it’s absolutely under average and idk why anyone would go here is it just my taste buds that changed or was it chick fila.

What do y’all think about a cartoon about an immortal alien who tries killing himself?

It’s very rough because I wrote it once and didn’t really polish it

Die, Die, Immortal!:
An alien named Glorpic is a meaty, slimy, rare alien who has a shiny crystal in the middle of his stomach, which is only valuable in his death (it has billions of watts of power in it). Another alien named Pnuk (pi-nuk) got sent millions of light years away from his family after a war, and Pnuk was the key to stopping it. The opposing sent him away and didn’t kill him since his father begged them not to in exchange for his father’s death. Glorpic is immortal, and his whole goal in life is to die (because of his species and it’s natural to him, and he’s not serious about it or serious at all). So Pnuk and he try to find ways to kill him while meeting other individuals who are also interested in his death, and they also encounter an alien couple (Lews and Gree) that want to go to every food planet to determine the best. They adopted a human child (Jim) that’s often clowned on for being human, and they help to kill Glorpic so they can travel to each one also there are other characters in the team which are introduced late like bem and plune

I think I know what each s9 episode of Rick and Morty will be about

There are 5 episodes of Rick and Morty season 9 out already and I’ve been doing some research and after hearing this will be a lore heavy season I think I can get somewhat close to what will happen in the upcoming episodes.

Episode 6 (erickerhead):
A pun on eraser head, a movie about an unplanned pregnancy to a mutant severely deformed lizard (I’ve never watched it that’s just a summary), I can already imagine since in the teaser for this episode Rick said something along the lines of “that food had a lot of yeast” after eating a ton of bottomless food that he’s gonna have some kind of kid come out of him I don’t suspect this episode will be too serious I think it will be the last playful one for this season.

Episodes 7 (mortGully: The Last rickforest)
Another pun on FernGully: The Last Rainforest a musical about a fairy who accidentally shrinks down the main character and they must unite to stop a destructive demon, this episode points to character development as the description is literally “Rick and Morty gotta evolve, broh." It may be setting up something for the finale like maybe the forest is something Rick heavily needs or wants and he must protect it and Morty fights the idea.

Episode 8 (Rickuiem Mort a Dream)
A reference to the movie “to Requiem for a Dream” this whole season has been dim for Rick and I think this episode is when he finally crashes as the referenced movie is a devastating movie about drug addiction and downward spirals I don’t think whatever happens in this episode will cause Morty to be without him for the rest of the season (either he dies or comes back at the end of the season) maybe leaving a clone with the family.

Episode 9(Salute Your Morts)
A play on salute your shorts a 90s comedy about a group of campers spending their time with pranks (yet again haven’t watched it) I saw the storyboard for this episode and after what I think is a Rick clone sends them to camp Morty and summer will rebel against the camp playing nonstop pranks just like the 90s comedy.

Episode 10(field of dreams)
A reference to the movie field of dreams (this one I watched) a movie about a ghost coming back to play baseball, I feel like the storyboard revealed a lot about this episode as Morty walked around a group of people playing on goggles Rick may have trapped himself in it to forever be with Diane but Morty may need him and Rick must choose whether to stay with Diane or help Morty.

Thank you for reading this.

In this episode I think Morty will be without Rick and try to get him back.

Episode 10(field of dreams)
A reference to the movie field of dreams (this one I watched) a movie about a ghost coming back to play baseball, I feel as this can mean very obvious things likely Rick trying to bring back Diane and finally being successful but he has to choose between Diane or Morty maybe he’s dead and he can come back to life to help Morty or be with Diane.

Would anyone care to read my cartoon episode 1 script?

I’ve been working on it for more than 2 years it’s about 2 Dimwitted heroes (Jax and Milo) that work as providers in a crazy world to collect rare materials for the hospital they work at so the doctors can use them to treat patients, I want it to be 4 seasons long and already have each episode down if you want the first episode just ask for it and I’ll give it to you just keep in mind it’s not fully polished and it still needs fixing as it’s mostly a rough script.

My mom made me lose half my family and I’m furious at her for it.

I was 3 when my Mexican father went to prison for 50 years because of SA on a child, my sister and ever since then my mom broke contact with my dads side of the family and I grew up not knowing my dads whole side of the family, I didn’t know my culture and I didn’t know what they were like. 12 years later my sister who is close to my dads side of the family is getting married with them there and I’d hope to see wether or not my mom was overreacting and the day of the wedding my mom was acting like they had a virus, not even looking at them and at one point she was told she had to sit with them and demanded to my sister for it not to happen. I met my dads side and they were genuinely good people and I wanted to know what they did for my mom to be so angry at them but every time I asked my siblings they said something like “mom always over exaggerates things” and “she never liked them and used dad as an excuse” I want to visit them someday but they’re in Mexico and I’d have to have my mom’s permission since I’m underage. I’m furious at my mom to the point we’re I can’t look at her any moment I’m gonna snap and yell at her and I have to hope that she leaves (back to home because I’m staying for the summer) before it happens, because I still love her I just can’t believe she would make it were I never met half of my family because she didn’t like them.

Dewey’s crazy stories aren’t lies

After watching s2 e1 again I noticed how the episode had a premise a lot of people missed with Dewey’s b plot being about him going on crazy adventures after his babysitter gets sent to the hospital and at the end of the episode Dewey talks to Lois about what happened just about all the other stories he tells and this one was true so we can most likely confirm the other stories are true he just says it in ways were it sounds like lies for instance: s1 e7 Francis comes back home and Dewey gets told he’s a monster and later Dewey says something upon the lines of “then me and the monster went out and had smoothies” in this example he probably went to have smoothies with Francis.

NY pizza ain’t all that good

After living in Alaska for the majority of my life and not having too many pizza places to pick from we visited New York for my sisters wedding and I had been hearing nonstop that New York had the best pizza and Alaska pizza was like shi compared to it but when I actually tasted it, it was great but it definitely didn’t meet my expectations and honestly it’s just as good if not as good as some good pizza in Alaska. (And btw I went to a very popular and great reviewed spot).

Why does MITM abandon the best characters?

I’ve been thinking about it a while and maybe the worst thing about Malcom in the middle is they abandon such great characters that they could’ve further explored, including Bully from ep1, Malcom’s teacher, Cynthia, Eric, Stanley and more. Why did they do this? I feel if they didn’t the show would be much better even if they left them I’d hope they actually gave them conclusions.

What do you think about my top 10 favorite shows?

Do you have any recommendations off of my top ten shows?:

7.Dexter

8.Futurama

Why are people so split on the old and newer seasons?

In my opinion MITM is the best show in the world and I love every season of it, but for some reason people are extremely split between older and newer seasons (seasons 1-3 and 4-7, not counting the reboot) they usually either love the older seasons and hate the newest ones or love the newest ones and hate the oldest and I honestly don’t get it, I get that it changes but I still feel like they are generally the same but change in a courages way that shows they aren’t scared of it and honestly I think I like the newer seasons just a little bit more because of the change in style but still absolutely love earliest and older seasons.

Made a first episode script, any suggestions?

**Here is my first half of my episode of my show “The Providers” my dream and hopefully my future, a cartoon show about two best friends working as providers in a un ordinary world of which providers are hospital staff that collect materials and go through adventures to obtain them, thank you. (This is a second draft so some things like dialogue and pacing need polishing**

**Season 1:**
EPISODE 1: “The Job of 2 Dimwitted Heroes”

EXT. HOSPITAL - DAY

JAX and MILO stand side by side, staring at the hospital. From MILO’s perspective, it towers over him.

MILO
Are you sure we should do this?

JAX
Of course dude, we’re going to go homeless because being a hero doesn’t pay.

MILO
(Sighs) I guess, but if we die on the job, Ill throw you with the dung beetles.

JAX
Dude, don’t joke like that you know how those things make me feel!

A GIANT GREEN MONSTER rolls by, its circular body surrounded by hands, and in the middle is its wide smile.

GIANT GREEN MONSTER
(shouting)
HIIIII!

Birds fall out of the trees limply.
MILO holds his ears, but his face turns red. JAX appears unaffected.

JAX
(shouting)
HIIIIII!

The GIANT GREEN MONSTER smiles while rolling away.
MILO stares at JAX, his eyes pulsing.

JAX
Huh?

MILO
(irritated)
Come on, let’s get this over with already.

MILO walks inside the hospital.
JAX follows MILO, scratching his head out of confusion.

INT. HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

A note on the receptionist desk reads “out for lunch”. A yellow tribute painting on the wall reads “to our providers:”.

MILO
What are we supposed to do?

JAX
(sarcastically)
We’re obviously supposed to check in.

MILO walks up to the receptionist desk, grabs the note, and starts waving it at JAX.

MILO
(sarcastically)
Well, they’re obviously out for lunch.

JAX
And you’re obviously the shortest person of all time.

MILO’s face turns red.

JAX
What?

MILO charges at JAX, hitting relentlessly, but JAX is uncaring and unaffected.

JAX
Is that really all you ca-

As JAX steps back from MILO’s punches, he trips over the side of a plant. MILO continues attacking even as JAX falls on his back, gasping for air. JAX suddenly looks furious, grabs MILO by the leg, and throws him at the provider’s tribute wall, causing the painting to crack and break off. SMITH begins walking down the stairs and sees the fight between the two and is surprised.

MILO
(hoarsely)
YOU’RE DONE FOR!

JAX
(hoarsely)
Bring it!

MILO charges at JAX, and they both wrestle. SMITH starts walking closer to them.

SMITH
(nervously)
Hey guys! Stop!

JAX and MILO keep wrestling, unbothered by SMITH. JAMES starts walking down the stairs, stomping furiously. SMITH sees JAMES and folds his arms to his face. JAX stops wrestling and sits, unknowing of JAMES but curious of the sound. MILO keeps attacking him, and JAX pushes him off, making MILO fall on his back.

JAX
(whispering)
Stop, that big guys gonna destroy us!

JAX points to JAMES, who is crossing his arms, and it looks like he’s flexing his muscles because the veins are popping out. MILO nervously stops attacking JAX.

JAX
Are you the one hiring us?

JAMES
TO MY OFFICE, THIS SECOND!

INT. JAMES OFFICE - DAY

JAX and MILO sit in chairs facing JAMES in front of his desk. He’s standing up and looking out the window that’s behind his desk.

MILO
Sooo… did we get the job?

JAMES
“DID YOU GET THE JOB?!” WELL, I DON’T WANT TWO DELINQUENTS WORKING FOR ME!!!

JAMES walks over to the door and opens it, and JAX and MILO prepare to leave.

JAMES
…yet sadly, no one else applied for the job.

JAMES waves at the halls to show no one.

JAMES
So I’m having a well-trained nurse give you instructions. Hopefully, she can turn you two (points to JAX and MILO) into model providers.

KILAN starts walking into the office in the background.

JAX
I don’t want some nurse teaching us how to do something they have no clue about!

KILAN walks through the door, and JAX starts staring at her face, not talking or moving at all (energetic romantic music starts playing),
as MILO and KILAN walk out the door, MILO starts snapping in front of JAX’s face. JAX sees KILAN snapping in front of his face and then blinks (music distorts)
and JAMES is in his face, looking confused. JAX falls back, looking confused and scared.

JAMES
(sarcastically)
Well, take all day getting out of a DOOR!!!

JAX snaps out of it, shaking his head, he sprints out of the door.

INT. PROVIDER TRAINING ROOM - TWILIGHT

JAX and MILO sitting in two chairs in a bland hospital providers training room. MILO has his head down sleeping and mumbling a song. JAX extremely tired, staring at a tv in front of them playing a boring video about how to be a provider.With all the villains like DOUG, WINDY, and CICILLIAN banned from the hospital.

BORING TV VIDEO
What is a provider? A provider is someone who gathers rare materials so doctors can use those materials to help and treat patients.

KILAN is sitting in a chair next to the tv working on her computer.

JAX
(whining)
How much longer?

KILAN clicks on the video to see the time, it shows 2 more hours.

JAX
No (groans). I wish I was one of our pet snails, they’re probably at war right now.

TEXT
Meanwhile, the pet snails…

INT. JAX AND MILO’s APARTMENT - SNAIL POV - TWILIGHT

In a wasteland like apartment, snails crawl everywhere, on top of open pizza boxes “vex chips” and all over the trash that fills the apartment. The SNAIL KING stands on a bottle cap with other snails on their knees sitting under him, the SNAIL GENERAL on his knees sits on the right of the SNAIL KING.

SNAIL KING
(giving speech)
Today we fight, not because I want to, not for senseless violence, but because our caretakers left us to defend this environment and we must be independent, for when they rejoin us, WE WILL HAVE DESTROYED THE “SWIFT GOLIATH”!

Red eyes instantly flash behind some of the snails, and green goo suddenly erupts everywhere, flying onto the SNAIL KING’s face.

The SNAIL KING waves his hand forward.

SNAIL KING
(screaming)
TO WAR!!!

INT. SOCK - SNAIL POV - TWILIGHT

The SNAIL GENERAL and snails with swords and armor made out of cardboard surround a map of the apartment, with a rat and snail figurines on it. On the map, the SNAIL GENERAL pushes the rat figurine into a tin foil bucket next to the couch.

SNAIL GENERAL
And that, that Is how we win the war, we trap the Goliath!

ARMY SNAIL 1
He’s faster and stronger than us how would we catch him?

Other army snails start agreeing and cause a small uproar of arguments.
GENERAL SNAIL slams his hands on the map and the army snails stop arguing and look to him.

GENERAL SNAIL
Quiet! That’s the easy part, the Goliath may be stronger than us and so strong he’s able to throw us like a toy… (trailing off) b-but we’re still smarter than him!

ARMY SNAIL 2
Well, how do we know we’re smarter than him? He already ate 9 of my toes.

ARMY SNAIL 2 lifts his feet to show he only has one toe left.

GENERAL SNAIL
He can’t talk we can, end of story. Now who wants to be the sacrifice?

The snail army men stay quiet, not even a cough or a drop of slime sound in the room.

The SNAIL KING comes in with his hands behind his back and his face high like he’s full of pride. The snail citizens erupt and start barrading him about the sacrifice.

ARMY SNAIL 3
Why would you sacrifice your own snails?!

SNAIL KING
(overly dramatic)
I have been thinking about this for hours, I’ve made the decision… I will be sacrificing myself.

The army snails erupt again, and the GENERAL SNAIL slowly opens his eyes wide like he’s surprised.

ARMY SNAIL 2
I’ll sacrifice myself, no matter how many more toes I lose!

ARMY SNAIL 4
No, I will!

ARMY SNAIL 1
So will I!

The SNAIL KING turns his head away and smiles mischievously.

SNAIL KING
Thank you all so much!

INT. PROVIDER TRAINING ROOM - NIGHT

MILO is still asleep and still mumbling a song yet JAX is wide awake with his eyes red from the blaring tv. The video stops.

KILAN
OK, videos over (yawns)

KILAN clicks the lights on, and JAX immediately holds his eyes and falls back in his chair.

JAX
Ahh, my eyes!

JAX falls straight on his back, and MILO looks up at him and gets slobber all over JAX’s face.

JAX
(squealing):
Duuuude!

JAX wipes his face off aggressively, and MILO stands confused, then sees his slobber and wipes it from his mouth.

MILO
(Yawns) Oh… sorry.

JAX stands up his hands clenched, then walks over to KILAN, suddenly peacefully.

JAX
We can leave now, right?

KILAN
Yeah, just let me finish some paperwork.

JAX goes back to sitting down and starts zoning out, everything around him disappearing and visually turning into his thoughts.

JAX
(thinking):
If paper comes from trees and money than why (Imitates parent) “money doesn’t grow on trees”?

JAX envisions his mom telling him that money doesn’t grow on trees.

SMITH screams high-pitched in the background, and MILO starts tugging on JAX, but JAX stays zoned out.

MILO
Come on, some nerdy guy is screaming.

JAX
(thoughts)
What does the word “nerd” come from? Is the candy referencing the word or is the word referencing the candy?

KILAN slaps JAX in the face, and JAX snaps out of his trance. In the background, MILO is running from a mimic that’s constantly biting next to his butt getting closer and closer.

JAX
What… what’s going on?!

KILAN
(talking fast)
We confused a mimic with a chest and your the only providers on standby, now go!

JAX turns his head confused, and KILAN grabs him by the shirt and throws him out of the room. The mimic starts chasing JAX, and right as the mimic is about to bite him, JAX jumps away, and the mimic bites through the door. JAX screams and then starts sprinting away and sees MILO in front of a closet trying to open it, but it won’t budge.

JAX
Milo!

MILO looks behind JAX, surprised and then starts sprinting with him.

MILO
We’re both gonna get eaten!

JAX and MILO see two different hallway paths they could go, one on the right and one on the left.

JAX
It can only go for one of us!
