AmaNerds ukuba abe ziimpawu ezinamandla kuye kwaba liphupha labaninzi kumashumi eminyaka, kodwa kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iyinyani. Ukuba yi-nerd kuyinto, rhoqo kunangoku, yindawo yokuzibhengeza. Ngakumbi nangakumbi, abantu bajoyina amanqanaba e-nerds, i-geeks, kunye ne-dorks, behambisa i-hobby yabo kunye ne-fandom flags ephezulu, kodwa oku akusiyo inguquko; kukuvuselelwa.
Nangona kunjalo, oku kuhlaziywa, kufana ne-Renaissance (ugxininiso kwi-capital R), kushiya abantu abaninzi, ngakumbi abantu basetyhini kunye nabantu bebala, ngasemva. Ngelixa bekukho uphuculo oluthile (umz. I-Panther emnyama , Eda ucacise kutheni oku kuyimpazamo , njl.), kwingxelo yonyaka ye-UCLA yantlukwano eHollywood ye2015-2016, abaphandi bafumanise ukuba bobabini abasetyhini kunye nabancinci bahlala bengamelwe ngaphambili.
Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela, kodwa amadoda alawula amabali, adla ngokunconywa ngokuba lukhuni okanye ngengqondo epholileyo kangangokuba asuswe kwimbonakalo ebuthathaka yeemvakalelo. Ubungqingili obunobungozi, iimpawu ze-hyper jock-esque ezazisuswe kwi-nerds, ngoku ziziseko zenkcubeko. Abalinganiswa babhalelwe ukungcwaba iimvakalelo zabo nzulu, bevela kuphela njengomsindo olungileyo okanye uburharha obunqabileyo. Kule meko yokuxinana ngokweemvakalelo, ngelishwa ubomi buxelisa ubugcisa.
Ayisiyiyo yonke into emfiliba kwilizwe lama-nerds. Phakathi kwincwadi ehlekisayo yehlobo blockbusters, eyona-play Izisele kunye neeDragons Iipodcast, kunye nokwanda kwevidiyo, usapho olunye luphakama ngaphezulu ukwenza konke okusemandleni ukubandakanya wonke umntu kwaye uthethe ngeemvakalelo: UMcElroys. Ayingabo bodwa abayenzayo, kodwa ngaphezulu kwephulo leminyaka emithathu le-D & D Indawo yoTyelelo , abakwaMcElroys baye baqonda ukuba njengamadoda amane athe tye, amhlophe, cis, banelungelo kwaye banoxanduva lokusebenzisa amandla okuthandwa kwabo ekwenzeni indawo evulekileyo nebandakanyayo yomntu wonke-ayisiyiyo ukuba ihambe kakuhle ngalo lonke ixesha.
Emuva ngo-2014, ukugubungela ikhefu likatata kaJustin kwiingcebiso zabo ze-podcast, uJustin, uTravis, noGriffin McElroy, ngolongezo olutsha lukayise, uClint, wagqiba kwelokuba adlale Izisele kunye neeDragons . Oku kulandelayo kwakungaphaya kokulindeleyo. Amawakawaka abantu aye azinza nzulu kwiintsomi zikaTaako, iwizard (eyadlalwa nguJustin), uMagnus Burnsides, umlo / inqaba (eyadlalwa nguTravis), kunye noMerle Highchurch, umfundisi (odlalwa nguClint). Ngo-Griffin e-helm njenge-DM, ibali lahlala iminyaka emithathu kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, linikezela ngezifundo ezininzi zokumelwa kunye nokuba sesichengeni ngokwasemoyeni.
Kudliwanondlebe kunye neSyFy Wire, utshilo uJustin Xa sayila umboniso, ndiyathetha, khange sibeke ingcinga ezininzi kwizinto ezintle kuyo. Senza nje uhlobo kuba kubonakala kumnandi.
Ngokukodwa, ngokubhekisele ekudalweni komlinganiswa, igama likaTaako, kunye negama likadadewabo oliwele elalibalekile kudala, laqala njengengcinga engenangqondo eyadibanisa umzuzu wokufunda wamakhwenkwe. Ngexesha lesinye isiqendu se Ummandla woZonwabisa (ngasemva kwe-Q & A uthotho lwamaqabane), uGriffin ucacisa ukuba xa u-Justin eza negama elithi Taako, kwakusithiwa, 'Ngaba ayisiyonto yobuqhetseba le ukuba ubize iwizadi yakho emnandi kumdlalo wethu wokudlala indima?' yenziwe ngaphandle, ngokungathi, ukungabi nantlonelo ngokungenantlonelo.
Ukuqhubeka neskimu sokuqamba igama ngobudenge, uGriffin ekuqaleni wabiza iwele likaTaako u-Lup, mfutshane ngo-Chalupa. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko ii-headcanons ezandayo ezisekwe kubalandeli zavela kunye noTaako njengendoda yaseLatinx, kwacaca ukuba kunokuba kubi kangakanani ukuba nabalinganiswa beLatinx ababizwa ngokuba kukutya kukaTex-Mex, nokuba injani na injongo yentsusa. Ngelixa abalinganiswa ngokukodwa ingengabo ubuhlanga okanye ubuhlanga, kunokuba kude kakhulu nefeni ukuba umntu ozibona ekuyo uncitshisiwe waba yintlekisa.
UGriffin uqhubeka athi, Sonke sazi ngakumbi ngendlela abantu abawudla ngayo umboniso kunye nendlela abantu abanentloko ngayo… ngokusisiseko indlela abonakala ngayo abalinganiswa, kwaye siyakukhuthaza oko, akunjalo? Njengaye, ndiyakukhuthaza oko. Ndicinga ukuba kupholile. Ndicinga ukuba yeyona nto ipholileyo malunga nale podcast. Ke ekugqibeleni, endaweni yokuzibophelela kuseto oluneminyaka emi-2 lokuvuma ukuhlekisa, uGriffin uthi igama likaLup ngu-LU-P. Ayifutshane nantoni na.
Ngaphandle kwamagama kaTaako kunye neLup, esinye sezahluko kwii-arcs siphela ngokungcwaba i-trope yakho yesini, into uGriffin avumayo ukuba wayengayazi ngelo xesha. Kudliwanondlebe olufanayo lweSyFy, uthi, Kwaye ndaye ndasuka ngokoqobo ndingazi ngale trope, kuba ndingumntu othe tye kwaye ndinqongophele kubalinganiswa okanye amabali abhekiswe kum, ukuba, 'Kulungile, ndiza ungaze uphinde. Inqaku elilungileyo. ’Ukwazi ukuvuma isiphoso uqhubele phambili kusebenza ngokungafaniyo nobudoda obunetyhefu, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ungaze uzenze ezo zinto.
Ukuvuma isiphoso kunye nokucela uncedo zizono emehlweni obundlobongela bendabuko, kodwa abakwaMcElroys abanangxaki ukufikelela eluntwini kwaye bacele uncedo ukulungisa iimpazamo abazenzileyo kunye nokuthintela ukuphinda iimpazamo ezenziwe ngabanye.
Xa kwakusenziwa isimilo sikaLup, udade wamawele kaTaako, kwakukhona inkxalabo enkulu kwicala likaGriffin malunga nokuthintela omnye umzekelo wokumelwa kakubi kweendaba kumajelo eendaba. Ngokuhambelana, amakhwenkwe athathe kwimithombo yeendaba zentlalo, ebuza kubaphulaphuli babo ukuba yintoni ebalulekileyo kubo malunga nendlela yokuphatha ukumelwa kwetrans. Ngale ngxelo, uLup waba ngomnye wabalinganiswa abathandayo be-fandom, ehambisa i-pithy-liners enye, etshisa izakhiwo, ethandana, kwaye, ngokubanzi, umlinganiswa onamacala amaninzi aneemfuno ezinokuphindeka, iimfuno, kunye neziphene. U-Lup luphawu olume ngokuchaseneyo nokuziphatha okuqhelekileyo, hayi ngenxa yokuba engubani, kodwa ngendlela awadalwa ngayo, ngabadali bevuma indawo ebuthathaka ngokwembono yabo yehlabathi kwaye becela uncedo lokuqonda.
Ukuvulelwa ukugxekwa kunye nokuzimisela ukubonisa icala elithambileyo kubaluleke kakhulu kwimpumelelo yeMcElroys. Ngokuqhutywa komboniso, uthe saa phakathi kwamahlaya olutsha kunye nokuqalekisa ngamagama asisiteketiso ebuntwaneni kunye nemigqaliselo yothando, enika umphulaphuli umbono wobomi bosapho lakwaMcElroys-usapho apho uthando lukhwazwa kakhulu kwaye rhoqo, indawo apho kulungile ukuba sesichengeni kwaye unikezele ngecala lakho elincinci kwilizwe apho kuhlala kubonwa njengobuthathaka.
Emva kwemizuzu yokugqibela kaGriffin ekhathaza intliziyo kodwa ebalisa ibali elimangalisayo, uJustin, ilizwi lakhe liphukile ziinyembezi, ushwankathela lonke eli phulo njenge… ibali lezidenge ezine ezidlalileyo I-D & D kunzima ukuba bazenze balile.
Kwimiboniso yabo ye-Seeso emfutshane esekwe kwiingcebiso zabo ze-podcast, Mzalwana wam, Mzalwana wam kunye nam , uthotho luphela ngomzuzu omnandi kaJustin esithi uyazingca ngomboniso abawenzayo kunye nokuba wonwabe kangakanani nabantakwabo kwezi veki. Ngenyembezi, uthi uyabathanda abantakwabo, abathi cwaka nangokulula bathethe okufanayo-phambi kokuba bawonakalise ngokupheleleyo umzuzu, njengabantakwabo kuphela, bexelela uJustin ukuba enze loo jusi imnandi ye-Emmy kwaye aphelise umboniso kuloo noti iphakamileyo yothando kunye nokucaphukisa kuphela usapho olunokukuzisa.
Ngokuphathelene nokulila, uJustin wenze imeko yakhe yacaca gca, esithi kuthotho lweetweets ukuba Ukulila kulungile, ukulila kuthetha ukuba uyaphila, ukuba uziva ububudenge. Kukulungele ngokwasemzimbeni ukuba uzive ukuba izinto ozama ukungazenzi, kwaye uMbutho une-weird hang up malunga nabantu abadala abakhalayo, ngakumbi ii-dudes, kodwa ndithi loo nto ilungile ijusi elungileyo ye-Emmy. Nangona kukho umoya wokudibana kwitoni yakhe, umyalezo ucacile, kwaye uvunyiwe yiyo yonke iMcElroys.
Ngexesha lokusongelwa kwesiqendu se Indawo yoTyelelo : Ibhalansi, abakwaMcElroys bathetha ngamaxesha ebalini apho benyuka khona. Qaphela, uClint ukhankanya indawo yokugqibela kaMerle nentombi yakhe kanye njengokuba ekhumbula elila, esithi,…, nini, [Mavis, intombi kaMerle] wathetha ngendlela awayezingca ngayo ngokuqhuba kwakhe kakuhle, watsho. 'Ndiyakuthanda, mntwana wam,' kuba yayinjalo loo nto- yayindenza ndikuxelele laa nto inye.
Mhlawumbi ikhona ezinye Inguqulelo ekuvuseleleni i-nerd, kodwa ii-nerds zihlala zikratshi ekukhathaleleni nzulu malunga nento ethile, nokuba zizifundiswa, imidlalo yokudlala indima, okanye intsomi yesayensi. Eli linyathelo nje elilandelayo elinengqiqo, ukuthatha ubunzulu bokunakekela kwinqanaba elikhulu ngokubonisa ukuba kulungile ukuba ubandakanyeke, wabelane ngebali nabo bonke abantu. Wonke umntu unebali kwaye wonke umntu, nokuba uyalivuma okanye akalivumeli, uneemvakalelo. Olu hlaziyo lwenguquko alunakubonwa ngonomabonakude, okanye luye kuboniswa bhanyabhanya, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iyasasaza kwenye indawo ukuze wonke umntu eve.
Kwaye ngaphandle kobuhlanga, inkolo, ukuthanda isini, okanye isini, wonke umntu umenyiwe kwaye sonke sizokhala, kwaye kulungile.
