#but I was still best at Mercy

[murky-tannin]

I don’t have any way of playing it anymore but I used to SOLO at Plants v Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. I played the electric chomper and consistently won/got large kill counts with it. It was the only FPS I was ever good at and I wish I could still play

[avisisisis]

Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist

The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence

Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother

And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way

Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that

He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

i could talk about the parallels between the dreemurr siblings and the skeleton brothers and how one is more reserved and is closely related to your choices and willing to make the hard choices that their brothers can't while the other is more energetic and refuses to kill even in the face of certain death and is closely tied to belief and hope and how both are so extremely codependent and how the dreemurrs were doomed because of it but the skeletons avoid their fate

but instead i'll just say that chara and sans are joined in "my brother is the coolest" solidarity

So after four months, Bell's Hells are off the moon

0.5/5 Stars - Some of the locals were nice but activities were shit and needs new management.

But what's this? Aabria with a steel chair!? She's probably cackling looking at the socials right now

[mayasaura]

After the reveal about Babs’ body in Nona the Ninth, I’m extra curious about what the original run of lyctors did with their cavaliers. Harrow never hears about any of it, because her cavalier’s body wasn’t recovered, but where was Naberius stashed and what happened to the original seven?

Is Pyrrha’s body out there somewhere, perfectly preserved as if she’d died minutes ago?

[hayateart]

With how many Moshang/SVSSS ideas I have, I could probably spend the rest of my days drawing Moshang comics. Cheers!

[duckdachi]

i have drawn 20 art fight attacks i think I’m tapping out now LOL

[psirem]

aggrieve (violin refrain)

[skrunksthatwunk]

kinda drives me up a wall when people go "hey i think x action in a war/combat scenario is inhumane and cruel and shitty" and someone responds with "oh but within the laws of war it's allowed or there's procedure for it etc etc". it doesn't have to be a war crime to be unforgivable man it's a shitty rulebook anyway

[brainworms-all-night-long]

Okay so uh, my brain is usually incapable of thinking abt fluff for some reason but after reading and later thinking a bit about @000marie198 's idea of shatterverse variants of Tails just being chaotic siblings I blacked out and hour later this apeared on my phone screen-

__________

× Nine is the Sonic of the squad when Sonic's not around, as in pestering Tails and his two associates to take apropreate breaks and abide by their bedtimes, while also making sure that no forbidden substances such as coffee or energy drinks exist in the workshop's premises

+Tails specifically is extremely annoyed by this, yet fascinated and jealous at the same time, because how can you just?? Put everything down and go to bed???? Not even letting the thought of pulling an all-nighter pass your mind????

+But make no mistake Nine is still the most moraly corrupt of the quatro so he will absolutely be the little demon on Tails's shoulder approving of every single highly deadly invention or upgrade Tails thinks of.

× Thanks to the constant exposure to technology, tools and observing Tails' gadget making, Mangey has become a master disassembler and an uncompromisable threat to everything that's not welded together or a solid slab of matierial in the first place. If he puts his mind to it and no one disturbs him, he will take apart anything you put in his little hands. Tails finds that pretty usefull safety testing. (But also potentially dangerous and annoying when you try to type in your keyboard but all of the buttons are torn out and placed in a pile right next to it like damn ok, oh shit the dawer is aflling apart ah fuck-)

+One night, Mangey discovered a stray screwdriver and the residens of the workshop were for a suprise morning when they rather quickly found out every single hinge on all of the visible doors was undone. (yes even the fridge, Nine nearly got killed by the heavy doors falling on him)

× They sometimes play chess and while Sails prided himself by saying he already knows the rules and game perfectly, without a fail, he always ends up loosing to Nine who only makes sure to rub it in his face. This applies to most table and card games.

+Mangey was trying to eat the chess pieces at first but after observing a feew games and having the rules explained he is actually pretty good at the game??? (He doesn't really know what he's doing either and sometimes a piece or two gets lost to the stomach acids when the others aren't looking but oh well, Sails can always carve out another one)

+Honestly Tails shouldn't have been expecting to have a regular table game with any of the people he knows, especially himself.

× And what ego and pride Sails looses to Nine in board and card games, he gets back in the quite frequent sparing maches he initiates. Because boi is he salty about always loosing, and will he put all that salt on his blade and swing it at Nine all day and any day he sees the edgelord isn't visibly busy or in a bad mood (latter of is suprisingly and plesantly not as often as it once used to be)

+And Nine has tried to pick up a sword multiple times but it's just doesn't mesh well at all with the fighting style he preferred and was used to with his mechanical tails, which only got in the way. He will admit swords are cool and they're even cooler when someone skilled swings them, but he will eat a Chao alive before looking Sails straight in the face and telling him that.

× Something something rock paper scissors becomes a bit of an inside joke to the quatro after Mangey shows a literal rock when they were using this very professional deciding method on "who will clean up the workshop's mess after Tails' rather ambitious last project."

+Sails and Nine protested that it should be Tails alone since he caused the whole mess in the first place, why is he dragging them into this when all they've been doing is braking swords outside and they dutifully clened that mess up each time, but than Tails hit them with the "well I'm the one and only reason any of you exist here rn and also provide a roof over your heads so you go by my rules" anyway Nine lost the rock paper scissors and he absolutely made sure everyone knew he was pissed about it.

+They use rock papers scissors to also decide who gets to spent the most time with sonic and rocks are thrown when results are not exactly favorable. (No one gets seriously hurt I promise)

[blueside-hobi]

As much as I love overwatch, I am so sick of people being mean. It seems like 90% of games whichever losing side either blames their tank or support when 90% of the time it's definitely not either. Also I only play quick play games so these don't even matter. I can understand being upset if you're playing competitive but people still don't need to be rude. Quick play is supposed to be fun. I usually get people commenting on me being a one trick but if I play anyone else then I get told I suck. How am I supposed to learn new characters if I get bullied from trying them? And especially now that there's only one tank I constantly see "tank diff" in the chat. Like grow up. It is very rarely only one person's fault that a game is lost and that's usually because they leave or they are literally not trying and just running around saying hi to the enemy team. No way was it all the tanks fault. And it's literally always the damage players complaining about it. Like maybe you're losing because you keep saying rude shit in the chat and you're bringing morale down and nobody wants to play with you.

[bhaalsdeepbat]

Tfw a scene hits you with such force and clarity, it's absolutely like a religious vision

When Astarion gets up in the middle of the night to handle the twins so they will be quiet and let Mercy sleep, Mercy sneaks off to the undercity ruins. Theyre gone for hours hunting any Bhaalists who are trying to maintain the ruins, slaughtering the Bhaalists, and then going to the altar to yell directly at Bhaal, only to be met with silence. Mercy screaming that he couldn't take anything else from them. They'd make damn sure of it. Just never saying "You took everything you wanted from me, but you cannot have the twins." And it's a threat. One that isn't answered.

Then returning to a fretting Astarion (bc they're both still unlearning their codependency)

[rosaacicularis]

which was more culturally significant, the renaissance or hermitgang

14. Does your OC/WoL have an item that they keep with them? If they do, what is it? Why do they love it? Why do they keep it with them?

Hmmm technically he has two: his whm staff and a braclet.

Staff is pretty self explanatory - it's his main weapon, so it usually comes with him everywhere. I tend to change his ingame staff around a lot to fit glams, but his "canon" one for now is Blade's Mercy (last step of the lvl80 relic). There's no story yet where or how he got it, but he does take very good care of it, having a skilled crafter check it after every bigger fight for possible damage. It also currently has both Zenos' necklace and Azem's stone hanging on it as mementos.

His bracelet on the other hand is basically wedding ring. While I strongly headcanon that keepers don't really care about marriage or see too much need for it, I feel like Hawu'li is pretty sentimental. He'd want something to remind him of his partners during long travels.

It's pretty basic braded bracelet, but with every strand picked by his partners. They can technically choose anything but to make it easier for me (and my memory) most are in the color schemes of their givers (like "Aymeric" one being blue with gold strands mixed in). Hawu'li asking someone to pick a strand is basically same as him proposing, and his partners usually know to take their time deciding since it's really important to him. After picking the new strand Hawu'li usually gives some little gift for the other party (for example, Aymeric got an earring and G'raha got a necklace) as their "ring".

I kinda wanna try drawing that bracelet some day but before that I have to actually choose who is on it and who's not haha (￣▽￣)" For extra emotional damage I'll mention that Haurcefant never got to pick his... He'd been one of the first ones, but Hawu'li never really realized his feelings before it was too late. Miiiiight give him one (that Hawu'li picked himself) but not sure on that yet. In AUs he has one tho!

[the-kipsabian]

also

this isnt a fully personal analysis, part of this came straight from the source that is a man involved in this feud himself, but i just wanna say that to everyone thats pissed off that the best friends (/oc vs kip) storyline was so short and seemingly “didnt lead up to anything”

the whole story was about how they are in fact stronger together as friends. that nobody can hold themselves up alone when faced with difficulties and danger, and how they are stronger as a group and how your friends are there to help you when you need them

this proves true to both sides, which i think is what this storyline was really about. while yes, it focused much more about the inner turmoil of the best friends and how they held oc up on a pedestal as he was a champion, this also was very clear in kips crew - strength in numbers, the emotional mind games, how it was all in contrast with cassidy losing his friends little by little while kip out there was gaining more

and in the end, while oc was left all alone in the ring after his title defense, despite being victorious there was only one man in the ring smiling with him - that being kip, his nemesis of the moment, who had managed to break him down, pull him to a dark place, making it seem like his friends had abandoned him. even if they all did something to do to help, but was it more to their own agenda, or to help their friend...?

but oc couldnt have done this without their help either way. the distractions from danhausen. chuck and trent out there in the end to take care of butcher and blade that lead to the ending of the match. even if they werent there in the end (which was just honestly fucking poetic and dramatic for the effect it was worth), they all did something to help. proving that, indeed, they are stronger as friends, as a group, than just single individuals, even if they have their differences, turmoils and arguments

its a story about friendship and beautifully told at that

[fancifulflora]

Headcanons for the modern au of the tale of crowns s/o's?

OH hoh ohoh youve done it now anon, I have so many hcs brewing for a modern!AU with these LIs and AUs give me a whole lot more creative freedom to go hog wild

Azad/Ashti

They'd come from a relatively well-off family, spending a lot of time at the public library with their mother when they were a kid

That is, until their father became sick, their mother forced to take on more hours and their elder sister and them put in charge of making sure their dad was alright

Even with limited time, during middle and high school, they found a lot of fun participating in musicals and plays- although when they grow older they'll vehemently deny it.

Their passion for reading and writing continues throughout their childhood, pushing them to major in English

It's during college when they'd meet the other LIs, first bumping into R at the library

After college, they'd find work as a writer, enjoying a pretty relaxed life off of the royalties

They'd dabble in poetry and might even write up a screenplay or two due to their background in theatre

Outside of that, they'd spend a lot of time with their family, taking care of their sick father when their sister couldn't

I also think there's a real possibility they may turn to teaching as a profession too

Being a professor or high school teacher for literature, they'd try to instill the same love for reading in all their students

Nothing embarrasses them more, however, then going out to catch up with friends just to see the latest novel or book they've published being passed around

Dara/Delal

Honestly the most 'normal' of the LIs in their childhood

They come from a military family, at least on their mom's side, so it left them with their other parent most days while she traveled.

Was a kid that kept themselves busy with different types of extracurriculars

They'd take on a sport or two, but find real passion in martial arts

Surprisingly, they also enjoyed choir, being a bit of a natural at it

Despite the family ties, they'd have little to no interest in actually serving, however, a free ticket to university is a hard offer to pass up for most families struggling financially

Still, seeing the effects that it had on their mom gave them second thoughts

Regardless of whether they get it covered through a military program, their athletic prowess alone could easily get them plenty of scholarships if they committed themselves to a sport

The first person they'd meet in college would be A, the two bumping into each other on the way to the gym

They'd probably major in kinesiology considering the career they take up

After college, they'd teach self-defense to others and be damned good at it too. They're strict, but it's more like they're particular over form- not wanting improper form to hurt their students.

They might even own a gym or a center that they'd teach in. They'd be a strong motivator for those wanting to get healthy, and an invaluable resource for those looking to find introductions to new interests like judo or rock climbing.

Though, sometimes they think they do their job too well- X constantly pestering them to spar or challenging them to beat a personal record whenever they stop by.

Rozerîn/Rêzan

Was adopted at a very young age so they don't know much about their birth parents

Since they showed a lot of promise when they were young, reading books far beyond their reading level in elementary and winning science fairs left and right- they skip grades

A handful of them

It also helps since they don't come from a lot, so their performances win them a shit ton of scholarships

It's a little surprising for those who see the teen in college, their first encounter with the other LIs being with X who assumed they were a high school student that had gotten lost

Due to their love for animals, they opt for the veterinarian path, majoring in biology with a focus on zoology

They may double major in the humanities or literature just to make the most out of their time at university

During college they'll find a great professor that quickly becomes like a mother to them, helping them find internships and job opportunities after college- even including them in research projects done over the summer

Unlike the others, being very young when they start college lets them spend more years fitting in classes that are neither for their majors nor minors

So long as have their funds covered, they're happy to explore and take classes that interest them

Hell, they probably have so many scholarships the school itself might pay them to attend

And once they're ready, maturing enough, they'll start their work with animals- keeping in close contact with the small handful of friends they've made over the years in university

Xelara/Xelef

Was raised by a single mother for most of their childhood, until a housefire left them an orphan, both emotionally and physically shut off from others

Bounced around in the foster care system until they were brought into a family in a rough neighborhood

Luckily, that's where they met two kids around their age, quickly becoming friends

Coming from a poorer family, they worked a few odd jobs here and there with their friends to make it into a good university

But instead of going down a direct path, they opted to attend part-time, continuing their work outside of that

It certainly helped pay for a lot of their classes, but was a way they could support their family, their tight-knit community back home

And make enough money to support a rather lavish lifestyle

Didn't really major in anything specific, but did take classes that offered them certifications that would help with getting the job they did want

To be a firefighter

It's actually where they met D, the two bumping into each other during their first aid certification courses

Even after their college days are over, they are certain to keep pestering the more intriguing characters they bump into

And besides, they'd have to keep in contact with their college friends- there were far too many jokes unmade, challenges unwon for them to do otherwise
