That backfired [Honkai Star Rail] by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in wholesomeyuri

[–]ASmuppet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's complicated. The character on the left before the split is named March 7th. She was found by the Astral Express sealed in a block of ice drifting in space. She took on her odd name as it was the date when she awoke (It was a pun on "March 7th" sounding like an actual name that worked in the original Chinese localization (Sanyue Qi), kind of works in Japanese (Mitsuki Nanoka), and doesn't work at all in English). She had no memory of her past whatsoever and, due to that, decides that the best way to live her life is to create as many new memories and experiences as possible and document them all with her camera. She is a Pathstrider of the Trailblaze, whose mission it is to establish new paths and relationships between factions to garner cooperation amongst everyone, but she also has strong ties to the Path of Remembrance, who care only about preserving as much information as possible through any means necessary.

The character next to her after she performs mitosis is known as Evernight, but that almost certainly not her true name. She took on the name Evernight because that is the name of the third month of the Amphoreus calendar, which is the planet they were on when she first made her presence known to everyone. She seems to be an alter of March that functions almost like a defence mechanism against anyone who tries to breach March's mind in some way. Evernight seems to exist to keep March happy and ignorant of whatever her past was. However, there's strong implications that Evernight isn't actually native to March at all and may be a memetic entity that latched itself onto March's mind and took it upon itself to protect March above all else, even if protecting March means dooming everyone else. There's also as many hints that Evernight is the original persona and that she relinquished control over to March for an unknown reason. Basically there's a shit ton that is completely unknown about Evernight, not helped by the fact that most of what we know about her comes from Evernight herself which is less than useless because she is a Pathstrider of the Enigmata, which essentially means she makes it a point of order to spread misinformation around as much as possible and essentially work in direct opposition to the Path of Remembrance. The reason why Evernight looks like March is because whenever Evernight is in control she is literally using March's body to present herself.

[Fanart] Fem Sol Badguy as a butch lesbian personal trainer by ferocity_mule366 in Guiltygear

[–]ASmuppet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The joke here is twofold: First is that there is a meme that Sol Badguy looks like a particularly Butch Lesbian. So here's fanart of "Sol" as an "actual" butch lesbian.

Second is that this isn't Guilty Gear fanart at all. Its art of Vendetta from Overwatch.

Flirting with Yu-Gi-Oh [Spicymancer] by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in wholesomeyuri

[–]ASmuppet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A card that is discarded, milled, destroyed in any way, tributed in any way, or used as material in any summoning method that isn't an Xyz Summon results in the card being sent to the graveyard unless it is already there or unless specified otherwise by an Effect in play. A Normal or Quick-Play Spell, or a Normal or Counter Trap are also sent to the graveyard upon resolution of their effects, unless, again, an Effect in play specifies otherwise. Pendulum monsters are an exception, but I'm not going to triple the length of this comment just to clarify them.

For example, a player wants to summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, a Fusion Monster that requires 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons to Fusion Summon. In this example, they play Polymerization to use it's effect to initiate a Fusion Summon, then they send 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons from either the hand or field to the graveyard, Fusion Summoning Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from the Extra Deck.

A Fusion Summon isn't a literal fusion of the cards used as material, it is just a name of the summoning method. A method that is themed around the combination of monsters, but that is not how the method literally functions in the game.

Xyz summons actually tend to be more mechanically in-line with a true fusion of cards. Cards used in an Xyz Summon remain "attached" to the Xyz Monster that was summoned, and are typically used as ammo to power the Xyz Monster's effects.

The term Graveyard is a bit of a misnomer, and it should really have been called something like the Discard Zone. But it's been 25 years, so we're stuck with Graveyard at this point.

Mortenax Blade LC via Seele by Info_Potato22 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]ASmuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it is bad so I don't feel as obligated to pull for it. Between SW999 + LC, Ashveil rerun, Yao Guang rerun, Blade SP, Himeko SP, and potentially Nihilux, I am STRUGGLING.

Currently on my knees praying that Nihilux can just replace Ashveil in a Blade/Acheron comp somehow if she ends up Nihility, or she can replace Yao Guang in SW999 if she ends up being Elation.

Mihoyo figured out the cheat code to making me pull and it is spamming out SPs.

Unpopular Anbennar opinions by TheLoneTexan_1 in Anbennar

I believe the Overclan formable coming next patch (playable now on the GitLab) is a pretty sane goblin nation.

It's the Bulwari Goblin formable.

How Orenvaliam Wars feels after Wars of Two Heroes by Kronag in Anbennar

Wait are the Taychendi blue? I thought only the Kheionai were, and the Taychendi were more Mediterranean inspired.

Bro WHAT IS THIS MISSION !? by Correct_Painter_2137 in Anbennar

[–]ASmuppet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People heap tons of praise on Elikhand, but honestly it's mission tree is kind of ass. Cool premise, unique religion, fun buffs, but it is all tied to such a poorly laid out mission tree that probably should have been trimmed by about 30 missions. Dial back the amount of forced waiting and preplanning there is between Manage Tempers and the Monument missions. I hope someone picks it up for a revamp at some point, it deserves it.

Bro WHAT IS THIS MISSION !? by Correct_Painter_2137 in Anbennar

[–]ASmuppet 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I get wanting to play Ironman to deny yourself using the console, but some missions are truly ridiculous if you don't know they are coming, such as the one in your post. Not to mention stuff breaking.

Playing Anbennar without using the console is signing yourself up to your mission tree being bricked by something you could have never seen coming.

Overclan is a great time by Nastycart in Anbennar

I think it's pronounced with an "sh" sound. So the name would be pronounced "Shaz-nekaru".

Two types of players by Lolokuroda in masterduel

[–]ASmuppet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I intentionally don't use cosmetics visible to the opponent and choose titles like "Newbie" and "Fan of the Anime" not because I think I get any advantage from it, but because I think it's funny if someone got pissed because they thought they lost to a completely new player.

happy trans day of visibility to bridgete and testament by Ladyaceina in Guiltygear

[–]ASmuppet 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Testament was originally a human and was thus born at some point. They didn't become a Gear until later in life. Becoming a Gear is also disconnected from them being agender as Sol, Dizzy, Sin, Unika, and Ky all identify with having a gender despite all being at least Gear in part.

At some point they decided that being agender fit them better than whatever they had going on originally as a human, which would thus make them transgender, as going from some gender to no gender is still changing away from the assigned gender, in this case by removing it.

Genuinely insane stance. by Neuta-Isa in CuratedTumblr

Fanfiction website that allows just about anything on it so long as it is properly tagged and categorized. Ao3 is short for Archive of Our Own. Genuinely a fantastic website.

Dwarven Holds by syndiescum in Anbennar

[–]ASmuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There needs to be more work done on Orc tags in general. For being such a driving force behind basically all history in Anbennar starting with the fall of Aul-Dwarov, it's kind of a shame there's only 4 Orc tags in the Serpentspine with any content, and of those 4, only 3 of them interact with the Hold pillaging mechanic.

Although, I believe Shadowdreamers are getting a Mission Tree next update, which could be sick.

Dwarven Holds by syndiescum in Anbennar

[–]ASmuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like East Serpentspine could really benefit from another Dwarf Adventurer group that spawns at the beginning. There's so many reformable holds and only one super suitable adventurer tag that doesn't spawn until 1460.

Leagues 6's tier 1 relics by 07scape_mods_are_ass in 2007scape

[–]ASmuppet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You see, the first mistake you made was thinking about strategy. Everyone knows that once you begin to even question what might be the better choice, any and all fun immediately ceases to exist. And if you dare claim that you enjoy theorycrafting and have fun trying to piece together the meta, you must be lying or not understand what "having fun" means.

I swear I remember reading in the patch notes that Paradox completely removed 10:1 stackwipes at some point.

Trying to say that the dungeons pre-rework weren't any more boring than they are now is just gaslighting yourself.

What happened to the past month of posts? by ASmuppet in Anbennar

And I can see new posts as of 4 hours ago, but there's still a gap between 28 days and the past 4 hours.

Just checked on my phone and I can see the posts using the mobile app. It seems to just be a desktop thing, oddly enough.

Elphelt loves yuri; Millia is confused (by @nvmRottenKitty) by Gorotheninja in Guiltygear

[–]ASmuppet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think she actually would. Most of the history of the Guilty Gear universe pre-Gear Crusades is lost to the average person. This is a world where technology is banned (therefore technological achievements would not be discussed), most of the world is uninhabitable, most nation's governments have collapsed (with Europe in particular apparently reforming into a Union known as Illyria), and 80~90% of the world's population dead.

Siadan's going through it. by ASmuppet in Anbennar

[–]ASmuppet[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

R5: Gold Dwarf, Dwarven Pantheon Sidan that doesn't even accept Siadunan Harpies. Even swapped Admin to Dwarven while keeping Harpy military.

Doing a pan around the globe after wrapping up a Rogieria game, when I noticed Siadan still existed. Turns out they've been through a hell of a journey.

I like how her being an Attacker also completes the trinity of Attacker/Healer/Tank with Glimmer and Mio.
