The best character development is when the antagonist doesn’t even really change or redeem himself. Like no, he still sucks, he’s just on our side now.
fantastic post op. may i add when a previous antagonist has the same personality traits as before but framed as good things now that theyre on your side? “cold and calculating” becomes “unflichingly practical” when you need someone to push the big red button, “hair-trigger temper” is now “takes no shit”, and no one is more dependable for chasing the big bad to the ends of the earth than that spiteful, unforgiving bastard who was hunting you down last season
*drops pants. My dick just fucking flops onto the floor and bounces away*
once in high school i was walking down the hall at a brisk pace wearing dress pants and boxers and my (home made!! with nylon stockings + condoms + gak) packer just fell out of my leg and rolled down the hall a little ways and thankfully the only other person in that hall at that time was mr. hayes, the weird stoner english/philosophy teacher who rode his bike around the halls sometimes, and he literally just looked at me and said “i HATE when it does that” and walked away
If the company’s TEAMSTERS strike, the PILOTS will strike??
YESSSS!!!
…Lemme put this in context. Airlines are HURTING FOR PILOTS. Flying is a very expensive hobby, and it’s very expensive to get a pilot’s license.
It used to be just about anybody could do that, but *gestures at minimum wage vs inflation* (federal minimum wage is around $8, yet we now need $28 to survive, folks, it’s gotten that bad) so of COURSE people aren’t able to become pilots!
And the Air Force, et al, aren’t flying as many planes because they’re investing more in drones than in pilots, so you can’t go into the military hoping to become a pilot that way, getting the military to pay for your training… (Plus there are hundreds and hundreds of people serving groundcrew for every single pilot, so the odds were always low to begin with.)
So combine all of that with the fact 3,300 pilots are saying they will also go on strike…
There aren’t enough spare pilots to fully scab their strike.
I think one of the most profound forms of love is “I’ll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I’ll try it.”
It’s a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay’s plasticity. It’s a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom’s favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It’s a girlfriend who says “Yes, I’ll go with you” and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It’s a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out “Wait, wait, I know we’re here for the exhibit, but I haven’t been here! Slow down!”
It’s being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.
So I didn’t really know who they were but ! they’re the studio behind everything everywhere all at once, the green knight, midsommar, moonlight, lady bird, (…)
