I told myself I was not going to write any shit about ‘You’ Netflix series because I’m not a writer and I don’t think my opinion on things are that important at all, BUT while I was scrolling through internet and reading people’s comments on it I couldn’t be quiet.
The thing is doesn’t matter how much horrible, without personality and shallow everyone in the show is, Joe hasn’t any right to do any of the things he did. That’s the fucking point, he’s not cute, he’s a fucking psycho.
Although I probably wouldn’t be friends with Beck or Beck’s friends, or anyone, apart from Ethan, maybe; what I’m saying is: you can not make those people seem so horrible to the point that what Joe did is justified. Like Peach was a fucking stalker, it’s discusting but she didn’t deserved to die. Although I don’t really give much shit about her death, but thats not the point. Same with Benji, he was a dick but death? They’re horrible, but didn’t deserved their fate.
Now with Beck, she was a cheater and with a lock of flaws in her personality, but she has a horrible childhood and didn’t turn out to be a fucking serial killer. She didn’t deserve any of the things Joe did in the name of “love” and she’s the victim here. Trying blame her for what happened or saying she deserve it just because she was shallow is fucking pathetic, she is the fucking victim. A guy she barely knew violated her privacy, her life, killed her friends, steal her underwear, her phone, her diary… and some people have the guts to think she deserve it for some reason. It’s fucked because if you think about our reality it’s fucking similar, blaming a woman for everything a sick man do to her. Joe had a bad past and etc. and he didn’t deserve it, because nobody deserves it, but it doesn’t give the right for him to do any of those things with anyone.
Its gets to my fucking nerves because you see this shit in real life, you see men being abusive towards women and abuse the fuck out of them and no one believes she’s the victim, because somehow it’s always her fucking fault. It’s exhausting because a guy could be anything and do whatever the fuck he wants and no one cares, but a woman has to be perfect because if she isn’t then she’s the villain.
In conclusion, go see a fucking therapist if you think by any chance Joe Goldberg is cute or right.
mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean
water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea
what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic
I love this tea
Fat isn’t a defense against water pressure, it’s an insulator. So the colder the water, the fatter the mermaid.
Scandinavian merfolk would be tubby, evolving more for persistence hunting in the freezing coastal waters, possibly relying more on siren-song to lull prey into effective range. The less moving the better! Gotta keep the chub on to survive the winter.
Whereas Mediterranean/Polynesian merfolk would spend their time among the fertile reefs in warmer waters, competing with other predators. They would be built for speed and agility, buff like sprinters. Darker skin would be harder to spot under the surf, and more resistant to the glaring sun.
Also: it’s not hair, it’s scillia that they use to filter plankton out of the water, and it stings like a jellyfish if you touch it.
I would imagine that merfolk come in many different colors, maybe they even have the ability to shift their skin tone to assist in hunting? I guess that depends on how intelligent your mermaids are.
Tldr; cold water mermaids would probably be chubby, warm water mermaids would look like Serna Williams.
Another thing to take into account is Deep-Sea-Gigantism. It’s not fully understood why many animal species such as the colossal squid and whales typically grow to unimaginable sizes in high-water-pressure areas, but it’s assumed that it develops as some sort of defense mechanism. This would imply that deep-sea merfolk would be a sort of Leviathan-class eldritch horror.
One of my few complaints about Queer Eye is how it buries Karamo’s training and experience as a SOCIAL WORKER in the title of “culture” or whatever. The world needs many more social workers and much more respect for the field.
