Animal Farm is genuinely an enjoyable book.
Animal Farm actually had me laugh out loud because of how stupid a lot of the animals seemed to be. The hospital had purchased the van from the Horse Slaughterer and they didn't change the logo yet... Yeah right. Though I do feel bad for poor Boxer... He was a hard, respectable worker, and Napoleon betrayed him, just as Stalin betrayed the proletariat and turned the Soviet Union into a dystopia.
You know, the only reason the Animals didn't rebel against Napoleon is because they were too stupid to do so. All Napoleon had to do was eliminate the pigs that opposed him, because the pigs were the cleverest of animals. I guess you could say that Snowball was the main unfortunate victim of this. I don't know what kind of person Leon Trotsky was, but I would happily live in a society where someone like Snowball exists.
It was sort of a "Haha, Russian people are really gullible, and that Gullibility led them into a dictatorship ruled by Stalin" from Orwell to whoever is reading the book.
It's obvious to everyone that Animal Farm was a commentary on Communist Russia. I knew it when I was eight, no teacher needed to say that to me, it was literally in the summary of the book. Orwell made it strikingly obvious to anyone who knows even a bit about the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union.
Honestly, I enjoyed this book more than 1984.
Orwell did a really good job of Showing, not telling, with this book.

If Izuku Midorya never met All Might and inherited his quirk, he could have become a pretty darn good detective.
He probably could have become L.
(At least according to that one filler episode).
He probably wouldn't have been very happy with his life, though. If his dream was to become a superhero, then he'd grow up bitter and defeated.

That’s also a probable outcome, yeah. It really depends on whoever writes the story.
But he’d probably never get recognized for his accomplishments, unless you are someone like All Might. Although I don’t see Midoriya as the type of person who would save people for acknowledgement. He just wanted to be a hero. And that’s why Stain spared him.

Actually, it depends on how he goes about catching a Serial Killer.
Scenario one: He deduces the Serial Killer’s Identity, And saves someone from being his next victim. He realizes that he saved someone, and then becomes enthusiastic about his work.
Scenario two: he doesn’t deduce the murderer in time, and someone else is Slaughtered. This leaves him bitter and defeated, as he realizes that he isn’t a hero and he can’t save everyone.
Scenario 2 would be him taking the Cid Highwind route, except replacing “I want to go to Space, but My dreams were crushed” with “I want to be a hero, but my dreams were crushed”. I’d like to imagine that scenario 2 would end up with him getting his chance, just like Cid eventually did.

It’s been memed to death already, but this scene never gets old.

When children wish that there would be bad weather so that they get the day off from school, there is something wrong.
And it isn't the fault of the children.

Calculus Class in a nutshell.
Overused joke, I know. But depending on your grade level and your age, Its probably true for anyone taking a mathematics class. Especially me. Taking Algebra III. In Eight Grade. Vietnam Flashbacks.

Sephiroth got the focus of this Fan animated video. Cloud, Zack, and Angeal barely got two shots.
And of all people, Lucrecia Crescent got a cameo.
-
Yeah, Why don't they give Shulk Cloud's Aerials?
I also wonder why "What if Cloud lost Fiora?" doesn't exist yet.
-
I prefer Sephiroth as a villain to Kefka. More backstory and more of a character.
Or Maybe I just don’t like clowns.
Kefka will always be second place when it comes to Final Fantasy villains, to me.

Some say Fallout 76 is a quick cash grab.
But how can that be, if it’s terrible at grabbing cash?
