Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
@dechartians, I love you, but I think you are missing the point of Kara’s storyline. You already said you wouldn’t answer to anymore reply for your previous post but I just came home and I really wanted to dramatically throw my opinion at your face so here I go.
First I’m gonna copy-paste something I said before on a Kara fanart piece because I’m lazy and it sums up my point of view pretty well :
“So many people tend to overlook her because “she has no big moments
like Concon and Markimoo, the writers must not like her lololol” and I’m
standing there wanting to scream because ARE U BLIND ? That’s EXACTLY
the point of her character : she is no superhero.
Markus is
robojesus, the deviants chosen one, and Connor is the ultimate anroid
model, Cyberlife’s chosen one. Kara is just another AX400 model, an
everyday Joe, but she STILL finds it within herself to stand tall and
step up to protect her loved ones, namely Alice (and later on Luther).
The story is cleverly written : we see all social classes of this
society (Todd ans Alice are in the working class, Carl is super rich and
you see homeless people in the streets a lot), as well as all “sides”
of the conflict. Markus is the rebellion against the authorities, which
are represented by Connor. And Kara is the third, often forgotten side.
She
reprensents what any of us would be when put in a situation of conflict
where you have to pick a side : scared people desperatly trying to get
by and protect what matters most to them. We are no robocop nor
robojesus. We are Kara. That is what makes her character so powerful and
relatable (which is also why Markus is the least liked character from
the three of them, he is by far the least relatable. Connor’s quest for
identity can totally resonate with a lot of us, but exept his
relationship with Carl, there’s not much that truly resonates with most
people in Markus’ story.) “
It echoes to what that anon said (gg anon ily), so just repeating it won’t be of any interest to you… That’s why I also want to introduce you to a theory of my own that would explain Kara’s role in a greater-scale story. Ladies and gents, drumroll for…
Kara is rA9 therory !
Hear me out. What do we know about rA9 ? 1- It was the first android to wake up. 2- It probaly occured because of an error of copy in its software, “A 0 instead of a 1″ as Kamski says (I personally think he did it on purpose but that’s beside the point). 3- Its sole presence is enough to contamine other androids, because of the data sharing they do at all time.
Kara is the android from the tech demo, where we see her IMMEDIATLY “awake”. No traumatizing experience or emotional shock. She’s deviant from the start.
Now please consider this image :
Confirmation that she was disfunctional from the very begining. “A 0 instead of a 1″. An error of copy.
Maybe this is why she is not important at first glance. Maybe this is why she has no “big moments”. She doesn’t need it. She is the origin. She spread the desire of freedom. It would make sense for the story as a whole, we see the one who needs to realise he has to lead the deviants, the one who has to realise he is fighting for the wrong cause, and the one that started it all without realising it.
Again, it’s just a theory. A GAME THEORY- ahem. I mean, I could be wrong, but this could explain a lot.
Here u go pal. My thoughts on Kara. What do you think ?
Tumblr wants to take away all adult content on the platform, abandoning a large majority of it’s userbase which uses the site for this exact matter. Please sign the above petition if you would like to keep tumblr the way it is. They need to be shown that they will lose a HUGE amount of their traffic if they’re too carry this through.
PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE
I will say that since I signed and reblogged this originally like, an hour ago, the number of signatures has nearly doubled. So keep spreading it around, people.
I get why ppl are leaving tumblr but ive never deleted an account for anything in my life and if tumblr wants me to leave theyre going to have to kill me themselves
Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.
Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.
(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)
I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.
One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.
This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress
I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.
To break it down, just in case:
Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start
You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.
On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.
Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.
It will tell you if that option is still available for free.
Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.
Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!
The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.
Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers” at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.
Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.
You’ll have to allow WordPress permissions on your blog.
Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.
Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!
ALSO!!
I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.
This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.
To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.
tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.
I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.
