It was not Stockholm, and here is why:

No, he really didn’t. And he rescued her from wolves when she left on her own. Supplied her with a carriage the 2nd time.

I think they may not have all been her kids. It stands to reason that not all the staff were made into local, household objects, like lamps. Some would be in the stalls outside, the garden shed, the attic, the boileroom...probably all the children were in her care during the day pre-curse, and were thus turned into…

I always thought the chip happened once he became a cup. If we’re going to go there, it’s problematic that an accident that got teacup boy chipped inspired his mother to start calling him Chip, both emphasizing his affliction, and obscuring his human identity, annihilating his past....

My theory is that local barons etc were collecting the tax dues and providing the protections and lawful stuff for the local populations. They were separated from the royalty by a few degrees if you will. When the castle abruptly stopped collecting revenue from the nobility, no one asked questions. Or, perhaps the…

Only “beautiful” women get that privilege, though. I could probably add that the beautiful get most privileges, but that’s another topic.

I think you might be thinking of the church. It was the church that took in people needing shelter. Feudal lords had to mind the realm and be a solid employer, but I suspect letting the poor come inside to hang out was outside the scope of duty. Granted, he’s in the boonies so he could have just this once eh?

I mean, this fairy/witch thing takes pleasure in going out at night during storms to find people who won’t her in, so that she can ruin their lives. Her sense of justice is askew, man.

Ok, largely, ok I agree. But I have some complexities to present to this.

I mean it’s also weird 8% of the world has 84.6 of the global wealth, and that many of these CEOs earn money by selling products actually made by starving little hands in factories that collapse on them or burn them to death, for less than a dollar a day...That’s a little odd too, no?

Hey Madeleine, are you mimicking Trump? Should we all be? Should I start throwing Sad! around like candy, and will that be as amusing as I think it is?

The Red Turtle is Ghibli, so it seems like an entire country brimming with exceptional animation is permitted to only have Ghibli films considered viewable.

If you only accept movies from one very proven studio with an affiliation with Disney, it still rather looks that way. It’s akin to only allowing Beyonce to win music awards but saying there’s not white problem (that is a metaphor, I’m not making any pronouncements about the music awards which I know nothing about…

“It’s unreasonable for us to expect “them” to come to “our” march without showing up for BLM, for example.”

As a woman, did you not have a steak in those things? Weren’t you also interested in protecting those things for yourself? I’m trying to understand (genuinely) how women can’t stand together for women issues, while understanding race and feminist issues have a lot of overlap but without exchanging one cause for the…

“their goals” - This language I’m seeing so much of here, it’s confusing. It was a women’s march, in recognition largely of issues that do statistically have a huge impact on WOC. As a woman, it was your turn as much as mine?

The heading out for their first day of work.

All this time, I have been talking about “What goes on after leadership displays a blatant disgust for the population it governs.” I can’t talk about fifty million issues at once, I have to save the events of 2016 for a different conversation (although it kinda proposes you expected everyone to be on the same page,…

“You support a coup because your favored candidate did not win the election?”

Removing someone from power as part of a public, unified movement representative of over half the population’s concerns, is not the same as a vigilante execution. So we aren’t proposing someone hire a hit man, you see?
