Most of us probably already understand what these terms mean, even if we've never heard the term before:

Fixed Networks are Social Media sites like Facebook or Instagram. There are exceptions to this of course such as group pages and what not, but most of us have the understanding that on a site like Facebook, the norm is for you to put your real name and pictures of yourself, as well as information about yourself in order to connect with people who you've met in real life, like your family or your friends. Instagram falls under that to an extent, with an emphasis on putting photos of yourself, where you are, or what you're going. (Instagram is also pretty integrated with Facebook). In a Fixed Network, you may feel pressured to act a certain way because you know all your friends and family can see you.

Flexible networks are networks where people are anonymous or pseudonymous. You get the chance to present yourself as a new identity, like with a username that's different from your real name, and a profile picture that could be anything from an anime character to an actor.
Reddit, 4Chan, even KHV fall on the spectrum of a flexible network. On these sites you can post information about yourself which you maybe wouldn't post on your Facebook, since no one knows who you really are.

In between this are websites such as Twitter and YouTube. On Twitter you have a choice, you can present yourself as "yourself", like celebrities or politicians having accounts with their real names and information, or you can be pseudonymous. For YouTube, it depends if you're the user or the creator, but lots of YouTubers get by without having to ever put their actual face or name anywhere, they simply have a character or a persona like you would have on a flexible network, but in a video.


I wanted to explain that before I asked: What do you guys prefer when you're online? Do you prefer being on Fixed Networks like Facebook, where everyone knows exactly who you are (your real name, your real photos, the account you've had since you were 14 probably), or do you prefer networks that are more flexible? Do you feel like not being under your real identity gives you a chance to act out like you wouldn't on Facebook, or do you feel that instead you're able to be your true self?


For me I don't really get to have a flexible identity anymore lol. "Calxiyn" is connected to everything, so even on more flexible networks, it all goes back to the same place so to speak, so I don't get the luxury of being able to be pseudonymous anymore unless I have other accounts. And I actually do have a couple of those. Not on KHV obviously, but Tumblr and Twitter you create new blogs or whatever and manage them pretty easily. It ultimately has to do with branding and clutter, not a "true self" or "deviance" sort of thing - if I'm really into something that has no relation to my "brand", like an author I'm reading a lot of books from or something, I don't want to fill up my Calxiyn accounts with all that stuff because my followers from my YouTube channel probably aren't gonna care.

Anyway, I want to know how you guys think/feel, we were talking about this in my Social Media class at school (but y'all aren't being used for a homework assignment or anything don't worry)

Please send me pictures of your pets, your dog dogs, your cat dogs, your dog cats and your cat cats.

So if you guys didn’t know they are currently making a Heathers TV show that is supposed to be loosely based on the original movie.

I told myself I would give it a chance and now that the pilot is out I decided to watch it.

Throughout the entire thing I was like “Wow this is so much worse then Riverdale” in terms of the writing, not necessarily the plot itself (since that was more or less ripped from the actual Heathers movie). It’s very much like “do y’all really think this is how teenagers sound like”, and I pretty much didn’t laugh once. At least there are things in shows like Riverdale where I’m like “this is so awful it’s hiliarious” (not the writing but a situation or whatever) but this didn’t really get a laugh out of me. It was more like a weird second hand embarrassment where I was like “oh god why”

However, with that being said there was something at the very end of the first episode that I think could turn this all around. Because this thing wasn’t mentioned in the trailers, this pilot could be the biggest bait and switch so to speak I’ve personally ever seen. I want to talk about it more in depth in a spoiler tag, but I see 1 of 2 options:

1. They do what they’re doing and it totally sucks because these people clearly can’t write

2. They do what they’re doing and it goes exceptionally well, and this pilot was sorta a farce the whole time.

So I would say for now to give it a chance because it can actually go somewhere interesting, but if episode 2 doesn’t deliver I would suggest skipping this one.

Now for the spoilers

Spoiler: Spoilers

So basically at the end of the episode you find our Heather isn’t really dead like she was in the movie, but she’s just really hurt and wakes back up to see that she now has 27 million likes on her suicide video.

This is where things start to get “interesting”, and you see a preview for the ACTUAL season as it says “on this season of heathers”

Heather basically blackmails JD and Veronica because they kinda tried to kill her, she returns to school and becomes the “face of suicide” with her new found fame. Obviously this causes the entire rest of the plot of the OG Heathers to go in a completely different direction. This I think is a really interesting idea that I wasn’t really expecting

That being said, as I mentioned above, I have approximately 1% faith in terms of this actually be executed correctly. Because in my head the effective trick is “see we baited you now is when the actual show is going to start that is well written, taking an interesting turn and actually funny” like this was some large marketing scheme cause if y’all didnt know this did get a lot of backlash and what not.

Because for me, now instead of turning this off because it was of a questionable quality, I’m actually like “oh... okay, this is something that could actually work and capture my interest”.

The thing is the rest of the entire season could fix a lacklustre first episode, especially if that lacklusterness was on purpose for whatever reason. But I’m 99% sure things won’t improve from here, even though a tiny 1% inside me is saying that maybe, just maybe this could turn into something completely different

I don’t know if Amaury does Canadian only holidays...Also upon further investigation this is only a thing in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan so I’m sorry


Go tell your family you love them, whether that’s your blood family or friends that feel like family, etc etc

Or don’t I’m not the boss of you

So these ugly little things are called Bakugan and they came from a TV show that aired in 2007. Unlike my Pokémon cards which did not get the same treatment, I actually kept these.

I’m pretty sure this would have been more popular in Canada because of TeleToon then the US, but I wanted to see if anyone was into it.

Everyone eventually abandoned these for Bayblades or whatever but these were always cooler
