@bittner_jameson I'll keep y'all posted 🙏🏾 western shows and animation I typically don't have faith in because they keep making things they people don't like or ask for. I usually watch foreign media.
I've been seeing this going around on twitter and I'm not usually the type to watch superhero related things unless it's Spiderman or teen titans but I think I gotta watch this.
I really enjoy when female characters & protagonist are cute & done right instead of being masculine.
@The_Gatekeeper7 He really was locked in 😂 he had already taken down scorbunny and one other pokemon I think before he had to deal with Charizard. Of course they had to go extra hard on the animation too when hyping up Pikachu.
This fight was so exhilarating to watch for the first time. I usually get excited to watch some ash and Pikachu slogging their opponents and Pikachu was the mvp this fight ⚡
You can't even start a slug fest with Pikachu cause Ash is gonna say something like, "We want this win more than anyone! Right, Pikachu?" And then proceed to phase 2 of his boss fight
@Quantumgalacto It was really a design change and being given a voice that really brought him to life. If sonic never got a redesign then I could still see his personality being somewhat intact but my problem is they brought classic sonic back but without his personality or voice. It's weird.
I think if enough sonic fans make it a big enough issue, sega will finally change classic Sonic's ugly lighter blue to a cobalt blue and possibly give him his 90s personality back. For a mute character they managed to regress him by making him seem more baby-like.
Not every repeated correction from your wife is nagging.
Sometimes it's charity.
A wife is not virtuous because she silently watches her husband become lazy, disorganised, intemperate, harsh, passive, prayerless, unreliable, or addicted to comfort.
She is not a better wife because she smiles while his word becomes worthless.
She is not more submissive because she refuses to oppose his vice.
A good wife wants her husband’s good.
And his good is not his comfort.
His good is virtue.
So if she says:
“You said you’d do this.”
“You keep putting this off.”
“You’re on your phone every night.”
“You’re getting harsh with the kids.”
“You haven’t prayed with us in weeks.”
“You keep avoiding this conversation.”
“You’re not following through.”
…your first move should not be, Why is she nagging me?
Your first move should be:
Is she opposing something in me that actually needs to die?
That question will make a weak man defensive.
But it will make a serious man examine himself.
Correction is not rebellion
A wife correcting her husband’s vice does not overthrow his headship.
She is not “usurping authority” because she names a real moral disorder.
She is acting as a wife.
A helpmeet is not a mute spectator. She helps him toward the good. And sometimes help sounds like warning, opposition, reminder, protest, even rebuke.
Of course, she can do this badly.
She can correct with contempt.
She can exaggerate.
She can repeat herself from anxiety rather than charity.
She can weaponise truth to wound rather than heal.
That must be addressed.
But don't hide behind her imperfect delivery to avoid the truth she is carrying.
Many men do exactly that.
They make the whole conversation about her tone because they don’t want to face their vice.
“She shouldn’t have said it like that.”
Fine.
But did she tell the truth?
Did you say you would do it and fail?
Did you drift again?
Did you make her carry what you promised to carry?
Did your sloth, avoidance, or disorder create the very correction you now resent?
Then receive the correction like a Christian man.
Not like a sulking boy.
When her correction becomes nagging
There is still a difference between charitable correction and nagging.
Charitable correction aims at your good.
Nagging aims at pressure, control, or emotional discharge.
Charitable correction is ordered by reason.
Nagging is often ruled by anxiety or resentment.
Charitable correction names the fault and calls you upward.
Nagging circles the fault endlessly and makes the home bitter.
But here is the trap:
Men often call it “nagging” before they have done the moral work of discerning whether she is right.
That is cowardice with a masculine accent.
A husband should be able to say:
“Your tone was sharp, and we can talk about that. But you’re right: I have been unreliable here.”
That sentence would save many marriages.
Because it separates two issues:
- her manner
- and your fault
A weak man collapses them.
A virtuous man distinguishes them.
Your wife should not have to become your conscience
There is also a deeper shame here.
Your wife should not have to drag you toward ordinary virtue.
She should not have to remind you to pray.
She should not have to beg you to finish basic duties.
She should not have to supervise your screen habits.
She should not have to keep calling you back from sloth.
She should not have to become the voice of responsibility in the home.
When she does, you may resent the sound of her voice.
But the deeper problem is that you have stopped listening to the voice of conscience.
So God uses the person closest to you.
And you call her annoying.
Be careful...
The correction you keep dismissing as nagging may be one of the mercies God is using to pull you back into order.
Now imagine that applied to human beings & everything associated with being physical that way. You see the problem? Ultimately it sabotages your marriage & causes pain & insecurities for the spouse as you've been with other people in a way only they should've been with you.
I've seen these statistics before & even though you don't need a statistic to tell you that sin has consequences, this is one of the most solid evidences out there that fornicating before marriage harms your long-term marriage. It also destroys your martial sexual satisfaction.
For those who haven't seen this chart before...it's staggering.
Casual sex/hookup culture has completely destroyed women's ability to pair-bond and build happy families.
This is why Jesus has made sex exclusively for marriage. Imagine only having one tasty apple your whole life but suddenly you start trying other apples, you'll naturally compare the tastes, textures, smells & other details even if you're not aware of it.
@Crater_Bob My generation has too many problems to count and unfortunately when you brainwash people and put emotions on a pedestal this is the end result. Most of us got raised by technology & public school instead of our parents as well.
In spite of all the horrible people that make up the Sonic fanbase consisting of those who push identity politics & crazy garbage on the franchise while ostracizing people like me who don't agree with the LGBT & leftist nonsense, I'm grateful to a big Sonic fan 🥳
I highly recommend you find yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who's super excited about you. Life is too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore.
@Varik_Hedgehog My love for the franchise isn't going anywhere even with all of the people who have hijacked and are trying to ruin it. I'm excited for all the popularity sonic has been getting in recent years!
@studi_ok_devs I really don't interact much with the fans unless they're normal and not degenerate. Nothing screams wasted time & emotions than investing in someone only for them to immediately turn on you because you have different views.
@MiiaTzu Heyyyy Miia! I've seen you around! Glad to see the fandom also consisting of people like you. Are you gonna be streaming any sonic games anytime soon?
