I always get kinda shocked at the Verity glazing lol and wanted to give my two cents real quick

First off, I was also bullied as a teenager. I had literally 0 friends from middle to high school and did literally everything alone, like lunch, walking home, etc. I get really shocked seeing other people discussing how they were bullied and how that makes them sympathize so much with Verity. While I can understand sympathizing SOMEWHAT with her, I also feel like there's so much hypocrisy in how people go about the premise in this episode.

We all get that Maria did something bad first, and the argument is that it doesn't matter that she did that as a kid because she is clearly still a bad person as an adult as she tries to undermine Verity and also her final wish to be empress of the universe also clearly shows that Maria is an immature, self centered, and egotistical person who didn't grow at all. Fine, fair enough, I'm not Maria fan #1, and this post isn't about defending Maria.

However, people who say that then turn around and don't apply the same logic to Verity - I feel like people always excuse what Verity does because "she has trauma" - but she literally also got to experience EVERYTHING EVER, she has the experience and knowledge that only a god should have, yet she chooses to be as petty as to use this to torture her childhood enemies, which at this point, are analogous to ants to a god. I feel like you really can't get any more immature and malicious than that, and I find it vastly more sociopathic than Maria's relatively normal human levels of pettiness that she treats Verity with.

Again, I don't think Maria is a good person. She is a bully and a bad person. But Verity has essentially become a self made god and thinks the best use of her powers is to torture what amounts to lesser beings who are vastly less capable, knowledgeable, and powerful as her which feels as sociopathic as it gets, and it blows my mind that anyone is "you go girl!"-ing her as a way to soothe their own childhood revenge fantasies.

TLDR I get that people want bad people to suffer consequences but like... anyone rooting for Verity who sees Maria as somehow worse needs to seriously think about what constitutes cruel and unjust punishment.

(27F) I'm having a hard time judging what my under eye issue is and how to solve it - I feel like my under eyes often look rather dark / shadowed, but I don't feel like they're "bags" exactly or that the skin is particularly thin or hollow - I've seen photos of people with deep set eyes that makes their under eye look dark but my eyes are the opposite, they're kind of convex out of my head really lol. What is causing the darkness and what can I do to treat it?
