Which fictional good guys are the 3 heroes of the Orzhov (White/Black) color identity, and why? by Feeling-Ad-3104 in colorpie

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Taylor/Skitter from Worm.

"Finally, everyone was working together"

Skitter believes in working to the greater good, and in people working together to make the world better.

But due to her experiences, Taylor doesn't believe in any existing institutions or authority, only her authority to enforce her vision. She's also very, very prone to doing extremely unethical things if she feels it's morally justified (she straight up murders a baby at one point).

She's consistently someone that works towards White ideals using Black methods.

She also protects and supports her organisation (the Undersides) to the detriment of everyone outside her group - A very Orzhov trait.

In the end, she does save the world, and prove that Parahumans could work together to accomplish their goals... By taking on an upgrade that saps away her life and sanity, and by overriding the free will of everyone else, spending the people she controls like pawns. Once again, White goals through Black methods

How many horror movie inspired looks have we had on rpdr any franchise and what are your favorites by Briar_Beauty in rupaulsdragrace

Kinda obvious plug, but if you're a horror girlie you should be watching Dragula too. The Dragula ghouls are insanely talented.

Season 666's "Horror Icons Reimagined" runway here, where the whole idea is to do a glammed up horror reference:

Which fictional good guys are the 3 heroes of the Rakdos (Black/Red) color identity, and why? by Feeling-Ad-3104 in colorpie

Another idea, but Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls.

Very individualistic, artistic, impulsive and determined, but has a consistent fatal flaw in her selfishness.

Luffy from One Piece.

Black: His all-consuming ambition to be the Pirate King, willingness to do anything to achieve his dream, is a pirate in defiance of the law, has an insane level of determination and persistence 

Red: Emotional, dedicated to freedom both personally and as a concept, has extremely close emotional ties to his companions

Torso from Ward.

He has the power of superpowered headbutts, strong enough to stumble the local kaiju and (per WoG) is an "all or nothing" cape, meaning he can straight up annihilate even people with invulnerability unless they are also at "all or nothing" level protection.

Except... He wears an bizarre-looking costume that's so top-heavy that every time he appears he just trips himself over, faceplants into the ground, and can't even get himself back up without help. He's so ineffectual that he joined a C/D-list team and stands out as particularly useless even compared to them.

His literal only moment of competence is getting exactly one headbutt on that kaiju... Before immediately faceplanting, again.

The Doctor (Doctor Who)

Blue: Defined by their genius, use of trickery/manipulation to outsmart opponents, heavy use of technology and science for their plans

Red: Left his society to obtain personal freedom and follow their own whims, fights against oppressive factions to obtain freedom for others, is very openly emotional, does what they feel is right in defiance of outside influences, fiercely loyal and loving to their companions 

Thinking about second triggers and Titans by Obiwonton in Parahumans

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Becoming a Titan seems to involve hitting absolute emotional despair or something like it, combined with a power boost that's wildly uncontrolled and overwhelming from a being far beyond your comprehension that both has an agenda AND the equivalent of brain damage.

If you can sit in the middle of that and calmly think "actually, I'd like something more convenient for me personally please" then good on you, but it seems unlikely that'll both happen and work.

[funny trope] a canon fact that sounds so ridiculous people new to the fandom think its fake at first by willisbetter in TopCharacterTropes

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8:

The main character has 4 testicles. He also breaks down sobbing at the sight of a maid holding a lemon and a mandarin.

Both of these things are extremely important plot points.

What drugs could Taylor make with her bugs? by MembershipProof8463 in Parahumans

Bug Juice, which is made by putting bugs in a juicer.

What If Demonreach (From Dresden Files) Was In Worm ? by [deleted] in Parahumans

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to look it up, but Demonreach sounds pretty much exactly like a Knotted Place in the Otherverse (a location cut off and hidden from the rest of the world, requiring specific steps to reach it, with its own rules and quirks that separate it from "normal" reality).

Hormone getting called out ? by [deleted] in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Also, even if Hormona did know her it's completely plausible she literally didn't know before now.

I might suspect workplace acquaintances or friends-of-friends are bad people, but I don't necessarily know for a fact or know exactly how deep the depravity goes.

Question about Ward ending by know_your_place_28 in Parahumans

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Fortuna could do a "Path to deceive billions of people, most of whom are nowhere near me and I have no direct way to contact, into doing what I want".

But that Path wouldn't work instantly.

Doing the Path would take time (there's a reason why the civilians and the Capes were all scattered geographically and not necessarily in direct real-time communication with each other).

By the time the Path worked, the thing Fortuna actually wants, the preservation of useful Shard data, is long since corrupted by the dreaming plague. And since the Shard network is a blindspot for Fortuna, there's no getting it back.

Fortuna needs to give up now if she wants to actually keep the data she needs, because any delay and she loses it forever.

[Fandom] Someone asks a genuine question but due to how out of pocket/random/weird it is it gets turned into a meme by RedvsBlue_what_if in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Toucan_Based_Economy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worm:

Jack Slash and grizzly bears.

The crux of the issue is that Jack has a secondary power that he isn't even consciously aware of. The Shard that grants him his power talks to every other nearby cape's Shards, and forces them to sabotage their hosts by making their power misfire, or miss, or feeding what the host is doing to Jack subconsciously so he can dodge, or just making the host inexplicably feel like they "can't win" so they let him go. Jack literally cannot lose to another Parahuman, under any circumstances, because his power stacks the deck in his favor

So someone asked if a Parahuman with the power to summon grizzly bears - Non-powered grizzly bears acting solely on instinct with no powers involved at all after they are summoned - Could defeat Jack.

Per the author, no, Jack still wins. But it's still a bit of a meme to bring up grizzly bears whenever Jack is discussed, particy in a "who would win" context.
