What I’m hearing is, “If you don’t love me at my sociopathic, unrelenting attempt to capture you for the sake of my own personal honor to my father and nation, leading you and your friends to your impending deaths,” then you don’t deserve me at my “Sulky Fire boi charm who is kinda oppressed, but also has no other friends because, like, have you met my sister?”
Imagine missing the entire point of a character arc in a show aimed at children this badly
Man, what kind of low empathy mother fucker do you have to be to squeeze out a take that frozen?
Most of my life (quite literally since I was young) i’ve been abused by so called ‘best friends’ and I always realized how toxic they were after years.
I can’t tell you the pain I went through in those years, i just can’t find the right words.
Believe it or not it shapes you as a person and looking back to those times still fucks with my mentality. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.
Abusive friends are overlooked and not seen often and it’s painful.
To everyone reading this, I highly advise you to watch this video. If you are in such a relationship or friendship get out of it.
It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean
If you are talking about dolphins they used to be wolf like creatures that due to scarcity of food they had to hunt in water so they slowly evolved into water mammals, dolphins still have claw bones but they are unnecessary and dolphins will get rid of them with time and will develop abilities to breath under water
(This also partially applies to whales)
They were what now?
Mother Nature, come out here I just want to talk
Whales are actually Ungulates, more so hippos, entelodons, etc…
Meaning they were somewhat related to big celebrities such as Daedon (the “hell pig”) and Andrewsarchus.
The appearence of the first ancestors of whales probably looked like a small hoofed thing called Indohyus.

Basically they went from tiny hoofed herbivore to bigger hoofed carnivore to crocodile-like thing to seal-like things to big sea predators.
It’s important to mention that we now know dolphins will probably never need to develop true water breathing, because the fact that they breathe air from the surface is actually an ADVANTAGE for them. They get more oxygen at once than an animal with gills and it permits a much higher, more energized activity level for longer periods of time.
They are murderous monsters empowered by their access to the forbidden air
i like to pretend i’m a heartless apathetic b*tch but in reality i’m a baby who cares a fucking lot and emotionally invests myself in everything and is hurt 98.3% of the time
