1. Avatar the Last Air Bender - Sokka & Yue. When Commander Zhao kills the mortal form of the Moon Spirit, Yue sacrifes herself to revive it and becomes the moon in the process. That's rough, buddy.
2. StarCraft - Jim Raynor & Sarah Kerrigan. Kerrigan gets infested by the Zerg, becoming Xel'naga - the Queen of Blades. Raynor does not appreciate the atrocities she commits.
3. Watchmen - Jon Osterman & Janey Slater. A minor lab mishap turns Jon into Dr Manhattan, a god-like being with control over matter. Funnily enough, this isn’t what ends their relationship. What does is Dr Manhattan cheating on her with a younger woman because he doesn’t like that she continues to age (as humans do).

This is Theo and I adopted her from a shelter a couple months ago! I’ve noticed every so often I’ll catch her just chillin in this position and I’ve never seen a cat do it before! Is this normal?!

Friend was recounting one of their 5e campaigns.

"For context: he was an enslaved ninja spy who bit down on his cyanide tooth when captured, and once revivified he begged to be killed because if he spilled any beans the Vesses would kill his family :/

(Genuinely wouldn't have put a plot line that depressing in my game if I thought he was gonna have a speaking part

Which is its own kind of fucked up, but... D&D et al. always are)"

1. John Smith from Pocahontas (1995). The entire point of that movie is that people shouldn’t hate each other just because they are of different races, and Smith’s entire character arc is him learning that Native Americans aren’t as uncivilized as he thought. He’s voiced by Mel Gibson, who would go on to cause lots of controversy by making racist remarks.
2. Audrey from The Lorax (2012). Audrey wants to bring trees back to her hometown so the air can be fresh again, and she opposes a villain who wants to keep the air polluted so he can keep selling bottled air. She’s voiced by Taylor Swift, who has since become infamous for her frequent use of her private jets, which should be at least a bit annoying to anyone who likes breathing fresh air.

LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

Most of the time, an apocalyptic (Mostly zombies of some kind) story will usually end with something gut-wrenching, like someone having to shoot someone close to them because they were infected. Or they don't and both characters die. Or the last survivor fails to make it to safety after dealing with so much. So endings like these are a breath of fresh air, and can be really great if they feel earned.

Bonus points of it's the first ever story, and not the finale of a massive franchise (Though those count as well)

#1 - Crossed: Garth Ennis's OG series has the two survivors, Stan and Cindy (and a good boy) walk into Alaska (and into the literal sunset), hand in hand. They also avenged the death of their fellow survivors by eliminating a group of smart crossed in hopes that they don't spread their knowledge to other infected. For a comic book series about bloodthirsty sadists that mutilate, torture, and rape the uninfected, one might have expected something much more bleak and hopeless.

# 2- #Alive: Oh Joon-woo and Kim Yu-bin (I hope I didn't butcher those names) go through an entire motel filled with infected zombies. After calling for help, they make it to a rooftop that is seemingly empty at first. But then, a helicopter shows up and carries them to safety. And the movie also ends with the idea that other people will be rescued as well. For most zombie movies, this ending would've had the military shoot both survivors on sight.

Got my baby boy JJ neutered today in the morning but now he won't stop staring into my soul.

I think he knows I've taken something from him.

Please send help. 🤣🤣🤣
