Amnesty, is a very loving and smart person. She will take a hit for you any day. She loves being around those she loves most. She's a very caring and protective person and don't take that as a bad thing she's doing it because she cares. She's very sensitive at heart. She takes everything offensive and even if you hurt her if you ever need anything she will be there for you. She try's hard not to be fake and in drama. But if she does it must be because she cares so much. Anyways take amnesty for advantage and protect her.
Amnesty is just amazing, except her differences and love her. If you have an amnesty in your life never let her go.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
