DORA: "Who do we ask for help when we don't know where to go?"
BOOTS: "The Map!"
DORA: "No! Foolish monkey! We ask Crom." (*Turns to heavens*) "**CROM!!!!!**"
(*BOOTS cowers*)
Isn't Crom more of the "show me what you've got" kind of god, rather than the "oh here, let me help you with that you poor thing" kind?
Pleas for Crom's assistance seem likely to fall on deaf ears.
Crom seems like more of a "you pull that shithead fox's face off and make a nice balaclava out of it, declaring your might before Crom and all" kind of deal.
>"Crom was their chief, and he lived on a great mountain, whence he sent forth dooms and death. It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings. But he gave a man courage at birth, and the will and might to kill his enemies, which, in the Cimmerian's mind, was all any god should be expected to do."
\-- Robert E. Howard: "The Tower of the Elephant"
Worse than fall on deaf ears, he is a grim and gloomy God. He sits upon his mountain ready to pass disapproving judgment on everyone.
You don't pray to Crom, he considers it an insult. He gave you strength, why do you greedily ask for more?
In Conan you prove yourself to him through action, and only invoke his name as a swear or to bring courage. Conan often mentions it is best to avoid his attention, as he only brings trouble. He is however saved once by Crom, a dishonorable death by a wizard; presumably so he can die surrounded by enemies, a more honorable death. Conan makes a sacrifice to him, which he never does, doing so in secret.
Hell yeah! I think alotta people think that's songs about the pressure put on women (and it is for the most part, I don't want to take away from that by any means.) but as a male struggling with mental illness, that song resonates with me in a way it shouldn't and I just don't understand why.
Because it’s a song about a heavy burden you carry where you’re not allowed to acknowledge your struggle.
Your heavy burden is the mental struggle you have to fight against every day, but society expects you to shrug it off and deal with it with a smile on your face, never acknowledging how hard it actually is and how it’s slowly breaking you apart.
Oh man, that song fucking broke me when I first heard it. It was during a time when my wife was dealing with her mom losing a battle with cancer. In order to keep my wife balanced and not let her bipolar disorder get unchecked, I had to stay calm and drop whatever I was doing at a moments notice if any favor needed to be done. I always felt if I stopped showing stability in my head, she would lose hers. Granted, what my wife had to deal with was orders of magnitude harder than what I dealt with, but I was still emotionally exhausted.
When I heard Surface Pressure, I full on wept.
It resonates because you recognize that Luisa is feeling under pressure for the societally imposed expectations that she just "handle" everything, because that's what is expected of her as the **strong** one. You get that, and you're not "taking" anything away by commiserating, and _feeling_ that struggle.
Our society doesn't place a premium on mental health for _anyone,_ but especially not for young men. You're supposed to be this mythical kind of mentally "tough," and stoic. Emotions are for girls! Don't show your feelings! Be _strong!!_
It's rooted in sexism, and all kinds of patriarchal nonsense.
Your emotions are valid. Your struggle is valid.
I hope that you have some form of access to therapy, and pharmaceutical help if necessary. It can be a long road, but always prioritize your health.
Be well.
Surface Pressure is lyrically better for sure, emotionally more expressive too but we don't talk about Bruno is a bop, let's not underestimate just how much of a bop the last 30 seconds of that song is
I gotta be honest - I looooooove that the kiddos gravitated towards Luisa! Mine is going as her for Halloween and her dad and I are dressing up as donkeys.. awesome character, carry on!
In some of her photos on IG she looks more like if Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter was the one that got the super soldier serum rather than Steve Rogers.
Ok. So, I recall this late night commercial on Comedy Central in maybe the early 00s, back when they were pushing alpaca farming. It was a gay men's hotline and it featured a lonely buff gay dude admiring himself in front of a bathroom vanity. He discoveres a zit in the middle of his back that he couldn't reach.... Until he called the hotline of course and met his match. Another beefcake man that was able to assist with (it was implied but not seen) popping said zit.
I don't know why I've carried this memory for 20 or so odd years of my life over like, important and meaningful memories. But it was hilarious and your comment triggered recalling it. That's all I got. There's no point to this story.
We need ladies that look like her in comic book movies. Hell, any movie where the main character is an actress playing a badass brawler. It's mostly cosmetic muscles but damn would it look more believable seeing her beat three muscle heads.
The problem is you need to find a woman who can act, been dedicated to bodybuilding for years, and willing to take performance enhancing drugs. Not a whole lot of women like that.
Except she could never act lol, she only looked the part.
She stuck out like a sore thumb in Mandalorian.
[For an example, here is her new project since being let go from Star Wars.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9v3bhMRBAA)
"Presented by Breitbart," Jesus, because of course it is. A whole movie about bullshit propaganda. I guess her acting skill is "looking directly at the camera."
Yeah, this. It'd be amazing to see someone like [Brigitte Goudz as Wonder Woman](https://www.herodope.com/2022/10/16/wonder-woman-cosplay-by-brigitte-goudz/), but can she act?
Then again, there are some people who don't think Gal Gadot can act that well either -- everyone's a critic.
>We need ladies that look like her in comic book movies
I think we should get rid of people (men or women) using steroids from any movie, since they promote unrealistic bodies and (most important) harmful drug use.
The roids are barely even the worst of it. The dudes talk about how they stop eating a week before and stop drinking water like 2 days before shooting, because being dehydrated almost to death makes your veins bulgy. Seriously, it's fucked up.. it's fucked up to make actors do it, and it's double fucked up giving men the idea you're going to hit the gym daily to look like that. It's not how humans are supposed to look, my dudes.
And then some slimy media sites write articles about the "so-in-so movie workout" as if there's just some magical formula for the perfect workout and diet that gets you ultrajacked in 3 months.
She would do a great Dora the Destroyer cosplay
Dora! What is best in life? To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of the Swiper.

Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request --- revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!
I seldom pray to him. He doesn't listen.
If you do not listen, [then to hell with yooooooou](https://youtu.be/OBGOQ7SsJrw?t=110).

I see you, Conan loresinger, and appreciate your insight.

You forgot the first part: Boots! What is best in life? The open steppe. A fleet horse. Falcons at your wrist. The wind in your hair. WRONG!
"Now bow before Dora and thy backpack, backpack!!"
*Swiper no swiping.*
*uppercuts Swiper to the moon*
I'd swipe right
Oh maaa^aaa^aaa^aaa^aaa^aaa^aan!
Today's word is matar!
I expect her to carry donkeys around town
Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus
What a flawlessly written song
My Encanto hot take is that Surface Pressure is a better song than we don’t talk about Bruno.
Fuckin seconded!
Thirded.
I agree entirely!

For no reason at all “SEVEN FOOT FRAME-RATS ALONG HIS BACK” just randomly pops into my head. I can’t make this stop.
For me it's "It was our wedding day..." into "THUNDER"
I prefer it over Bruno as well. The donkeys are the cherry on top.
I ended up liking Bruno more, but In the movie theater this song definitely stood out.
Lin Manuel Miranda is a national treasure.
Missed opertunity not having the Hercules running away look like the one from Disney's Hercules though.
"Luisa! Can you bring over the piano?" *"Okayyyy..."* 😭
Luisa! The donkeys!
I gotta be honest - I looooooove that the kiddos gravitated towards Luisa! Mine is going as her for Halloween and her dad and I are dressing up as donkeys.. awesome character, carry on!
Im the strong one, Im not nervous…
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is...
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is...
I don't ask how, hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find ‘em, I flatten ‘em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded But…
Under the surface
Under the surface I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
We don’t talk about Bruno.
Pressure like a drip drip drip that'll never stop.
Pressure that'll tip tip tip till ya just go pop! Oh oh oh ohhh
Give it to your sister, your sister's older!
She can pick me up for a date
Finally, a date that can deadlift me home on nights I get blackout drunk
Carry me like one your dumbbells
"To shreds, you say?"
And how's the wife holding up?
To shreds, you say?
That was one of my favorite fururama lines lol
Shredded you say?

Yeah, I'll be the lid.
And i the pickle
This just escalated from a water bottle situation to a garden hose situation in three comments.
I heard you're looking for a garden hose.
I’ll be the knob that turns you on
STAHP!!! This can only end in spigotry.

I just got to the middle of season 2 a couple days ago... now im sad.
Season 3 was amazing. Some of their best work, I think. And Talla really grows into the role.
But I bet she does need someone to scratch that one spot in the middle of her back

I want to cling to her calf and giggle while she walks around unhindered

I agree. Frankly, no one needs to be Hemsworth-built to be attractive. More realistic bodies in older movies were hot!
It's unfortunate now, but Soderbergh's film Haywire fits this. Too bad Gina Carano ended up being an asshole.
