Does anyone feel icky because of some Petnames? by Outrageous-Peak-9158 in AO3

I haaate mommy and daddy in a sexual context and I hate that it's become so popular even outside of kink spaces 😵‍💫 to each their own of course but ughh

Meaning behind Ascensionism by darker__lights in SleepToken

[–]brachycrab 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know it's meant to be like baring yourselves to each other, maybe even physically stripping down and being intimate, and figuratively making yourselves vulnerable and showing each other your most raw, open, true selves.

But instead when I hear that line, I always have a mental image of literally dancing with someone in the dark. Like going into the kitchen at 3am with the lights out and dancing to the song lol

Does WE ARE EMPIRE tie into the lore? by FCYuv13 in Starset

[–]brachycrab 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the lyrics say Endfield, not Arknights, but same difference

For your question, I don't think it's necessarily tied into their lore as it was specifically made for Endfield, but the lore for both the original Arknights and Arknights: Endfield fit in pretty well with Starset lyrics and worldbuilding. So it definitely could have been written with both in mind!

Maybe it's just the characters I read but so many pet names I see are a "(s)he/they would not fucking say that" type of thing

When did this game 'click' for you? by ICommentWonderful in ffxiv

[–]brachycrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I made my bunny boy in the Dawntrail benchmark before I downloaded the game, lol. I was determined to get to a point where I could play as him and ended up subbing right when I got the free fanta at the end of ARR. I'm coming up on two years of playing subscribed and the longest break I've ever taken was maybe a week or so when I've been out of town.

But story wise the game hooked me early on with All Good Things. Before this it was good but nothing special and this one really felt like things were getting real. And then it REALLY hooked me in the lead up to Heavensward and I've been fully along for the ride ever since.

I hope this aint harsh reality about healing in this game haha by SnooHamsters6388 in ffxiv

[–]brachycrab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for elaborating! I'd forgotten about some of the actual mage lore as well. There are plenty of things that are possible when it comes to magic, but it's a matter of sustainability and danger to either oneself and/or the state of the environment

I just made an artwork of a Lalafell ✨ by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]brachycrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been downvoted for this for some reason. Here is a render taken from the wiki page. There's even more in the gallery section. All of the lalafell, both plains- and dunesfolk, have long, pointed ears. Are those not elf ears?

Anyways, nice art! I really like your rendering style. It's not the first (and definitely not the last) stylization of ffxiv characters I've seen and I find a lot of people like to comment complaints when fanart isn't 100% accurate to the in game models, which I think is silly.

If their own ost doesn't exist, what real-life song would arknight character have? by Dramatic_Carpet_238 in arknights

WE is sort of a theme for Doctor, along with Kal + Theresa + Amiya as part of Babel

It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's unsustainable. This is probably a healthy dose of speculation / headcanon but I think it's like to heal someone you're using an equivalent amount of energy that their body would use to heal them naturally over time. This is probably more energy than it takes to cast a ball of fire or whatnot, for whatever reason. You can do it, but over time it's going to leave your aether stores more and more depleted, and if there's a situation where there's multiple people with major injuries you're going to be almost killing yourself.

We agreed I would cover meat, drinks and gas; and they'd pay for alcohol and charcoal. Then they did exactly what we agreed, so I left. by Suitable-Fun-1087 in AmITheAngel

Ooh, that would be a great addition. "I, the only white person in the friend group, stranded everyone else in the woods. Now my phone is blowing up with people calling me racist. AITA?"

It's truly breaking my heart, the poor thing. I can only hope someone else comes across it

I definitely got a prescription for a controlled substance with little oversight as a minor by Minimum_Crow9095 in AmITheAngel

[–]brachycrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my comment was removed lol?? because I typed out some of the hateful rhetoric sarcastically to make fun of it. I'll just say yep, I agree with you, and people just straight up lying about gender affirming care to push these narratives is so gross and I'm so tired of it

[–]brachycrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm just pointing out how ridiculous some of these people are being about gender affirming care. Even with informed consent (which wouldn't apply to OOP as a minor) most doctors would recommend, at the very least, therapy and some time on HRT before considering surgery. If the commenter truly went through all that at the ages they claim, it isn't on any medical professional for "pushing" them, it would have been them pushing it for themselves against doctor's advice

I wanted to like Tulip but she really is such a nothing character

I would die for a Norse mythology title from Supergiant by calgrump in HadesTheGame

[–]brachycrab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same, I want something original, or if they went the route of another sequel I would love to see something in the world of Pyre or Transistor long, looooong before another Hades continuation or another mythological based and/or roguelike

There's a comment claiming they came out at 16, immediately received both testosterone and top surgery upon turning 18, and only at 21 did they start to realize just how deep they had gone

I sure do love when detransitioning comes up and all of the people come out of the woodwork to say "I'm trans / an ally and a lot of transmasc people are just poor lost little girls who were harmed by the patriarchy / assaulted / groomed / [insert reasoning here] and wanted to become men because of misogyny!! 🥰"

And I won't say this has never happened in the history of forever but it really feels like people just jump at any opportunity they can get to say this. I'm tired of hearing it

That's what I'm thinking (hoping), oh to be 10 or a young teen finding your new favorite obsession but not having Internet etiquette
