I've not seen Epic the Musical, so if you talk about that in the group chat, I won't be responding because I'm just not into musicals. Not only that, but I also heard that Percy Jackson fans, most of them, are A$$holes; well, that is just what someone says on the Hellenism Subreddit, so I can't claim accuracy on that. Let alone I heard Percy Jackson is quite disgusting and disrespectful to the mythologies. I don't know, and if someone wants to confirm this for me, you can. Just try not to create a dramatic debate session in the Telegram group chat.

I don't even actively go out to purchase movie tickets to musicals to begin with. I'm not even capping on that. I've never seen a live-action Disney musical movie. Anyways, if you want to ask why I'm not into musical movies to begin with, the answer is really simple. I'm just not really into those kinds of things. I mean, light singing in movies is fine. There are just a few scenes where there is light singing. But I could never sit and watch a 1 hour and 45-minute movie or longer where left and right there is singing just around the corner. The only pop culture I can say I'm into, which probably isn't pop culture to begin with, and I'm really not into pop culture anything at all anyways. But I don't think what I'm about to say is a pop culture hit or that people have a high obsession over what I'm about to say. But what I'm into is Twisted Wonderland, and is that even pop culture to begin with? I also didn't know what Twisted Wonderland was until one of my YT creators that I watch all the time started opening blind bags and other merchandise by Twisted Wonderland. But from what I can tell, I don't even think Twisted Wonderland is popular? From what I can research, I don't see a lot of pop culture worship of Twisted Wonderland. I think pop culture is more or less comic book characters, highly popular demand movies, T.V. shows, and Netflix. 

So, if people are wondering, yes, Idia Shroud from TW is inspired by Hades in the Disney movie Hercules, but that is just his appearance. Which I don't even see how/why this would be deemed offensive to Hades when TW isn't a full-blown Greek disaster of a movie, and TW isn't even a movie to begin with. Twisted Wonderland is very difficult to explain other than just saying it's a mobile game, which I don't play. There are manga books that I don't read, and what I watch are subtitles on YT for the Japanese animated visual novel. There are only English subtitles for the Japanese animated visual novel. If you want to know what TW is, just go read a wiki or something. I don't know how to word this at all; this is so confusing. I only like TW based on the music, the lighthearted fun humor, and the character designs. 

What my friends need to understand is that being on the spectrum I may or may not grasp the concept of why you're emotionally attached to something or why you're super obsessed with something that doesn't make logical sense to me. When I think of someone being obsessed with a fictional character on TV or in a movie, I simply just don't understand what's going on with this, grasping the understanding factor of why a person is so obsessed with a person that isn't even real but a human or a fictional character in a book of why someone is emotionally/obsessively attached to a character like that. Being on the spectrum I just quite don't understand this at all. My brain just can't understand this, as I have issues with understanding why people are emotionally obsessively attached to something to the point of where you need to try to summon, invoke, or create an altar and work with it. I've even researched pop culture paganism, and I'm just left baffled. Just why on Earth does something like this exist? It's just an actor or an actress. These people are human beings, and comic book characters are fictional. Why are you acting this way? These people are human beings and fictional beings. Why would you try to commune with and invoke the actor or actress? It's a human being and not a god or a goddess? Why? Why do you have an altar for a human being or a fictional comic book character? I just simply don't understand, and my autistic brain can't wrap around this concept of this bizarre behavior. As an autistic person, when I get uncomfortable or don't understand something, I have a freeze response, and I don't really know how to handle myself in a situation when I'm in freeze mode.

When I'm in a freeze mode, I go into a mode of how I escape this situation and get myself out of here and then avoid the situation altogether, so this doesn't happen again. As someone on the spectrum, I do display avoidance behavior problems when things turn very uncomfortable for me.

Hence why I want to avoid the pop culture pagan community at all costs and not bother them. It's the same thing as people not getting my fixations on why I'm obsessed with package art and the package art condition upon arrival. Or me getting highly upset if something doesn't look perfect on a doll or a figure. Or expecting a doll, figure, and even a plush in store to inspect the best perfect embroidery on a plush or the best paint job on a doll or figure. To some people, oh, I can fix that right up, no problem! But to me, I'm like, NO, THIS DOLL, FIGURE, AND PLUSH have to be perfect! Plus, the box art has to be the best one with minimum damage! 

It goes to show that I don't get people's obsession with Pop Culture Paganism, and I'm not expecting people to understand my quirky Autistic Spectrum Disorder A$$ either; it's as simple as that. So there, we're even. Moving on, let's go back to TW and Disney movies, shall we?

Since I worship and follow Hades, what do I think of the movie Hercules? Let alone if you want to ask me what I personally think of the Disney movie Hercules.

I think it's really bad if you want me to be quite honest with you. Yes, Disney has ruined tons of mythologies within their movies and portrays highly inaccurate facts about the mythologies of whatever Disney is trying to portray from the movie from whatever mythology Disney is trying to spin off from. But what even is the point of boycotting the franchise when that isn't going to do anything to the company itself? Anyways, I have just never been a fan of pop culture paganism/practice because I just find that way too bizarre to be worshipping a fictional character. I'm by all means not trying to be offensive to the community; I just find the whole concept very strange and bizarre to me. There are people out there literally trying to summon, invoke, and commune with someone from a show, plus having an altar for that character on the show as well. But anyways, for people getting wild ideas, no, I'm not worshipping Idia Shroud because he resembles the Disney Hades. I just think his design is cool, and I'm highly aware the Greek Hades doesn't look like that at all. Also, on the Hellenism subreddit, I saw someone post their altar of Hades with an Idia Shroud small plushie on his altar. I found that cute and not offensive. After all, their altar was everything related to the Greek Hades, so having one plushie off of a Japanese visual novel in my eyes isn't offensive at all. What I also found very cute as well is I saw someone put a Disney Pluto plush on their Hades altar as well, which was adorable. I don't understand how Hades would get offended by that either. Because, well, if you're a Hades worshipper, then I don't even need to explain the Pluto dog plush situation to you then XD. 

I've voiced more opinions about this on my other posts, which you can check out on my profile. :) 

Anyways, to finalize this summary. Telegram isn't that bad as people are portraying the app to be. I remember getting into a conversation with someone telling me that Telegram is highly sketchy, and I asked the person why on Reddit. He goes he was getting random messages from people that he didn't even know. So, I asked him in a nice way if he had his privacy settings turned off where people can't add you by your phone number. He goes no. I didn't have that privacy setting turned off, and I didn't have my synced contacts turned off either. I'm literally thinking to myself, you're accusing this app of being bad when you didn't manually fix the privacy settings in your privacy setting features yourself. Literally, I'm lost for words when that person told me that. I also recently downloaded WhatsApp a few days ago after this post to see if WhatsApp created a username feature when you sign up. Nope, it's still not a feature! I wanted to get WhatsApp to give people a secondary option to message me because I figured WhatsApp had to do some update changes since the last time, I looked into such matters was in the middle of the year. But no, if people want to assume I'm a sketchy person because my privacy/boundaries matter, then that's their own problem that they're assuming something totally wrong/untrue about myself.

For people that had me as friends on Discord and are joining the Telegram group because you didn't have time to contact me before I made my hiatus on Discord, just let me know who you are, and I will add you as a contact to a private message. Also, for my friends, if you want to join the two subreddits I've made, you can join them if you wish, but you don't have to. Also, my friends, if you encounter any issues with any of the members on any of the subreddits I created, then just message one of the moderators. While the moderators don't post anymore, the moderators, of whom my moderators are some of my best friends, do check their messages on Reddit even though my friends barely ever post on Reddit anymore or not at all.

If you want to know what the rules are that I set up for the Telegram group to see who I would love to see join the Telegram group, you can see the rules here.

For my friends also wondering, yes, the Telegram group has the same moderators as well. However, I prefer to chat one-on-one privately with my friends. Anyways, thanks to my friends for taking the time and effort to read this, and I hope to chat with you soon. However, if you wish not to sign up for Telegram, I respect your wishes that you're just not interested in further communicating with me because you personally don't want to download an app for just one person. No hard feelings at all if that is your wish after all. :)

Some of my friends are interested in looking into the app, and some aren't. That's okay! I'm just a person on the internet; you don't have any right or pressure to download a single app just to talk to me. I totally understand and respect your wishes!
