Why does Rice Shower have a knife? She can just run people to death. She isn't even deliberately out to run people to death why does she have a knife

It's because of her in-universe and his IRL nickname, "Black Assassin", which Rice Shower earned for her/his black coat of fur and for the times when she defeated Mihono Bourbon and thus denied her/him the Triple Crown, and then when she won against Mejiro McQueen and thus prevented her/him from becoming the first triple winner of that particular race, Tenno Sho. In other words, Rice Shower was basically known as a showstopper, and was actually booed in both instances IRL for these victories.

If you've watched season 2 of Uma Musume, you might remember that Rice Shower had her eyes fixed on McQueen during the race. This apparently happened IRL.

Rice Shower (to the right) stuck to McQueen (center) the whole race almost like a predator constantly looking at McQueen and then broke the hell forward in the last straight.

The dagger is a nod to the Black Assassin nickname, since Rice Shower was notorious for shutting down others' great achievements with unexpected victories (not that Rice Shower was a bad race horse, just never considered to be on par with the likes of Bourbon or McQueen and then suddenly blasting them)

Rice Shower two settings:

“I’m sorry, I just wanted everyone to have fun, maybe it’s better if I don’t participate…”

What’s going on in horses

at the fishing tournament yesterday btw there were age categories bc it was all-inclusive and we didn't want like 60 year old anglers competing against 4 years olds obviously.

so anyway this 14 year old boy entered in the 11-15 age bracket and he saw a huge fish in the water he became absolutely determined to catch. i don't think he even wanted to win anymore. he just wanted that fish specifically. but his line wasn't strong enough for such a big fish and didn't have the ideal bait.

enter: two 15 year old boys who didn't know him. they saw what he was trying to do, and they were clearly experienced anglers, and they got involved in the chase. they got the right bait and the three of them spent hours with their lines in the water, until the first boy finally hooked the fish. they talked him through the slow challenge of endurance. he couldn't reel in all at once because the fish was too heavy for his line and it'd break.

he finally reeled it in, but they didn't have a net. it took all three of them, lying on their bellies, six hands on the fish, to pull it out of the water. they put it in a big bucket of water for the weigh-in (we just subtracted the bucket+water weight after), gave their new friend careful instruction on how to handle the fish so he could pose for a hasty photo without injuring its spine, and then carefully placed the fish back in the water.

in the end, he won first place in his age bracket. one of the other boys who helped him tied for second with a 12-year-old competitor, and he gave her the trophy.

then during the drawing, where participants won prizes randomly if I pulled their name from a box, I happened to pull his name and he got a great prize so it all came around.

Idk. the teamwork. the serendipity of friendship. the graciousness. the consideration for the fish. Just some things that made me happy.

Look, Metal Gear’s Raiden is The Ultimate Nasu Protagonist but instead of forcing you to read a 12 paragraph essay like I always do I made a simple graph instead to illustrate:

also i don't know enough about the mobile game industry's history to say with confidence that the terminology of "[unit] alter" for gacha game characters getting variant releases comes from fate/grand order but fate's concept of alters is definitely what /i/ associate the term with so it always feels a bit silly to say "eyjafjalla alter" and have it refer to this pink fluffy thing

her ass is NOT corrupted by all the world's evils at the center of the holy grail

No SHE'S the evil alter, make out with HER instead!

This scene in the middle of the martial arts event with the biggest battle shonen energy in the whole game never fails to crack me up
