Bella Swan: Motherly Figure Or Sisterly Figure?

Do you think that Rumpelstiltskin views Rosalie more as her mother & views Bella more as her sister?

Do you think that Bella would care more about Rasputin if she was a boy instead of a girl?

Do you think that Renaissance would prefer to celebrate Mothers' Day with Rosalie?

Happy Mothers' Day!

Food For Thoughts: What If Bella Was In University?

The saga would have aged better if Bella was an adult in university instead of an adolescent in high school or do you think that the bizarre age gaps are not the principal problem of the franchise?

"Trens" in Portuguese is literally "trains" in English, but colloquially is a synonym of "things" in the popular jargon of the state of Minas Gerais.

"Paradas" in Portuguese is literally "(train) stops" in English, but colloquially is a synonym of "things" in the popular jargon of the state of São Paulo.

What is the connection of "trains" & "stops" to "things"?

I do not comprehend the preoccupying increasing numbers of hypocritical gay people recycling homophobic arguments into transphobic, biphobic, aphobic & polyphobic arguments to exclude trans people, bi people, asexual people, aromantic people & polyamorous people from the queer community spaces.

Gender variant people, gay people, bi people, asexual people, aromantic people & polyamorous people should unite empathetically in advocating for basic rights for existence outside heteronormative monogamy because they are consensual love minorities socioculturally discriminated in similar manners for similar reasons.

Le Latinic "-SC-" termination affix originally had one special sense that distinguished one dictinct verbal class:

Italiano: EvaneSCente.

Español: EvaneSCente.

Português: EvaneSCente.

English: EvaneSCent.

Diverse Latinic verbs adopted in English from different Latinic languages did not preserve le "-SC-" regularity:

English: She perceives, obeys, disobeys, appears, disappears, vanishes, perishes, finishes, abolishes, punishes, flourishes, establishes, disistablishes, capisces/capishes, etc.

Italiano: Ella percepiSCe, obbediSCe, disobbediSCe, appariSCe, spariSCe, svaniSCe, periSCe, finiSCe, abolliSCe, puniSCe, fioriSCe, stabiliSCe, disistabiliSCe, capiSCe, ecc.

English: She flourishes, remains, reminisces, evanesces, capisces/capishes, etc.

Português: Ela floreSCe, remaneSCe, reminiSCe, evaneSCe, capiSCe/capiSCa, etc.

Has any regularization reform project proposed restoring le "-SC-" termination affix per intuitive simplicity?

Exclusively Germanic vocabulary used in my post: "From", "did" & "any".

My Latinic comrade u/Thewiserabbitomega needs support in divulgating r/Chavacano for propagating the local Philipphine Latinic language for preserving the Philippine Latinic culture.

My other Latinic comrade u/TruePresentation439 needs support in divulgating r/FilipinasHispana for propagating the international Hispanic Latinic language for preserving the Philippine Latinic culture.

r/Chavacano, r/Castellano & r/Interlingua are three mutually intercompatible & immediately intercomprehensible Latinic languages valuable in international communication practical utility.

Your support is really appreciated in the Philippine battle involving r/Chavacano, r/Castellano & r/Interlingua allied versus Unitedstatesian domination.
