[this is posted during prom, specifically during this conversation. this will probably explain a few things.]

A public survey for the masses. The more answers, the better, as this is intended to prove a point and be an accurate reflection of the population.

-Please explain your interpretation of the meaning of the lyrics of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" as played at the grad dinner approx. 6 minutes ago. Do not consult other people's answers or other sources beforehand.
-Do you believe everyone has the same interpretation you do?
-Did you know "stoned" does not consistently refer to the execution method before last week? This question is only slightly related, but I would be remiss not to include it.

Regards,
Kokoro Belmont

I heard the words! I just thought they were. Literal.

[buddinghopes]

... to be entirely fair, slang's weird.

[stavros]

Who picked the songs tonight, anyway? I thought this was supposed to be all-ages.

[buddinghopes]

I'm not really sure... several of the songs were fine, but that one's... well, it was an interesting pick I guess

[stavros]

They definitely sound... interesting. Albeit in different ways.

[buddinghopes]

You said it... The selection's been pretty nice besides that particular song though.

[stavros]

Aside from the repeats. Perhaps the DJ was bored.

[buddinghopes]

Could be it! Still, if this thing's supposed to be all-ages, I'm kind of side-eyeing the DJ for playing something that inappropriate

[stavros]

We can only hope that we all live to see whether or not they're reprimanded for it.

[buddinghopes]

We will, I'm sure of it. I have faith in the people here.

[stavros]

I believe so as well. What happens is what is fated. We must prevail through it.

[buddinghopes]

I'm not sure I necessarily believe in fate (just how I grew up, my dad doesn't put much stock in that sort of thing either) but what I do believe in is the courage and ability of the people here who choose to fight.

But, I mean, in the end, as long as we're alive and the world's safe... that's what matters, right?

[stavros]

I should hope so. Fate is something I've always believed in. It's not always good, but it's not always bad. We simply must do what we can to protect the world.

[buddinghopes]

[For right now, that means not charging into a fight she won't win personally before she gets stronger. But... that's why she has to get stronger. To make sure the world's still standing for everyone who can't fight the threats they do.]

Right. And we WILL protect the world.

[stavros]

There's nothing else we can do. That's what I mean by fate. Thank you.

...I hope I don't get lectured for this post.
