amphibia finale perfect, amphibia finale UNTOUCHABLE
as sad and bittersweet as it is, the finale provides the realest sense of hope for the future ive ever seen from a fantasy series. like, yeah, you went on an adventure to another world, found a new family, had all this fantastical stuff happen, but in the end you went home and life moved ON. you lost contact with people you love, you and your friends grew apart, you now have an adult sense of responsibility for growing into the person the world needs you to be. but. HOMIE, BUT—
you still love your family (the ones with you AND far away). you still have THEIR love. you’ve grown into a better version of yourself. you’re still growing! your best friends are growing, too, and even though things have changed, they are always going to be there for you. time moves on, things hurt, but you have so much love in your life and so much love still to be found. the love is worth it all.
how lucky that kids and teens are watching this. maybe they don’t get the message just yet, but that’s okay. they’ll get to carry it with them and let it buoy them forward when they do finally understand. man.
amphibia…
Yay but also not yay…
Says Marc Ching from Animal Hope and Wellness:
“The owners and association that run one of the largest and oldest dog meat markets in South Korea, agree to close their slaughterhouses.
Not just the dog meat slaughterhouses, but all of them. The chicken slaughterhouses. The duck slaughterhouses. The rabbit slaughterhouses.
They told me that many local activists and international groups have lobbied and petitioned, asking for the same thing. They told me that when they come, all they do is argue and fight with them.
He said, “This is the first time ever, that someone has come asking how we can work together.”
He said, “You should feel lucky, because today is historic.”
Our first victory…
(Deeply rooted in tradition, Gupo Meat Market has been slaughtering animals for over a century.
Today marks the first time in history that they have agreed to make a change, accepting to work with our foundation.
While the process of emptying the cages still needs to be presented to the government, the hard part is over. Getting the dog meat traders themselves, to want to become something else.
This victory - let it be for the animals.)”
This post was taken from the Animal Hope and Wellness Facebook page where a short, yet beautiful video of a little dog being rescued from a slaughterhouse+farm which is currently being destroyed can be found. His name is Ari and he is one of 47 that were rescued yesterday. Thanks to this instrumental leap forward of the closing of this large slaughterhouse-chain, so many more Aris will be saved from their suffering.
While far from being the “first victory” for Animal Hope and Wellness on behalf of the animals (they have already saved the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, by dismantling individual slaughterhouses/farms and direct rescues), it is certainly one of the most monumental. And not just for the animals who are being fought for and represented by Marc Ching and Animal Hope and Wellness, but for all animals and the entire animal rights movement!! In addition to those that will be rescued, re-homed, and given a new chance at life, this victory also means that a vast number of chickens, ducks, dogs, and rabbits will now be spared from ever having to experience such sadness and pain.
Endless gratitude to Marc Ching, those who work with him, those who support him, and the “business” owners who are finally letting their true compassion shine!!

AHHHHHH!!!
Where is that damn scene?! I can’t find the document I am looking for. Ugh. I know I have it, but I can’t find it! And I want to read it. So… do I keep digging through the 50 versions of my story for this?
I am honestly scared I lost it for good. But I am very sure I still have it.
Anyway, writers, please make sure you’re more organized than I am.
I think I found it, but it’s damaged. XD NOOO!! But hey, that means it’s not just lost…
…I don’t know how that makes me feel.
I FOUND THE SCENE! AND RECOVERED MY DOCUMENTS. YAY! It was in obscure 2017 version of the story and somehow I was only able to find it by searching ‘gladiators’.
Thank goodness.
Also, I need to more consistent with the parts of my stories. Because this was part 3 and I was looking at part 2s.
