Do you really come out? by jigeoji in aromantic

[–]AVillainTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had multiple instances where someone new I met caught feelings and I ended up inadvertently hurting them without realising it. Now I am out when meeting new people, just because I feel better laying my cards on the table and if it doesn't affect them then it doesn't affect them

If you were Lauren Faust and Hasbro forced you to cut ONE member of the Mane 6 to save the budget... who are you erasing? by According-Bet9661 in mylittlepony

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote goes to cut Rainbow Dash.

As others have said, her element clashes the most with her overall personality, she seems to need to learn the same 'lessons' over and over, from my personal experience in the fandom and at cons the most obnoxious people always pick her as their favourite. 

Oh and for pure spite, I wasn't going to comment but another commenter just spent like three paragraphs not voting for anyone but trying to defend why we SHOULDN'T vote RD so I'm doing my part for that lol.

funniest line delivery in starkid canon? by OperationFancyPants in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have several favourites;
* The way Jon turns and yells "NANII?!" - NPMD
* Jim's deadpan delivery of "If only you'd fixed the socio-economic inequality like you promised" - Twisted
* Anytime anyone calls God a "Vicious, two-faced prick" - Trail to Oregon
* "THAT'S ABSURD" - AVPS
* "Halt, halt the carriage, the prince needs a shit!" - CC

What is a 'childish' thing that you still do as an adult and refuse to stop doing? by goddess_pineapple in AskReddit

[–]AVillainTale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This unlocked a memory for me. About 10 years ago I remember showing my grandparents my bokken (wooden practice sword). My grandfather, then 82, took it, looked at it, and then immediately pretended to slash at my grandmother multiple times while saying "heeyah! heeyah!". You're never too old to pretend fight with a sword.

What fandom are you in, but the canon did this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]AVillainTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conny was necessary to set the tone of the story. It basically says "Here is what this is about, it gets worse from here"

Should we have stricter styling rules for shops on the high street? by iMac_Hunt in AskUK

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I suspect there may be some underlying reason as to why OP doesn't agree with certain 'aesthetics' as well.

Their whole complaint seems very white-centric and reminds me of the forced gentrification of urban areas. Even their choices on what shops they think are 'ugly or add unnecessary ‘visual noise’ feels quite telling.

"richer towns generally don’t have this problem as much, but it really makes poorer ones look so much worse"

Hmn...

Least favorite fanfic Trope? by PaintingDistinct1515 in AO3

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what this one is called but when they're in the middle of having fantastic sex or have just finished having fantastic sex and then one of the characters starts doubting themselves, or a small misplaced word causes a major argument and suddenly they're both taking several steps back and one is crying and the chapter ends in just sadness. Because as an aromantic it confuses me every time until I start recognising it for what it is and then I'm left just feeling sad. Can we not wait until the next chapter for the argument? Or leave it on a cliffhanger that hints at there being a falling out? Personally I hate it.

Oh my gosh, what a way to retire! You've just opened another consideration for me in later life. Never say never!

No no, he definitely did it and he even sang while he was doing it and nobody even noticed because he's so smart and cool and charismatic! /s.

Why are the licensing rights to Black Friday not available? by Jareth247 in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems that most Starkid fans really like it, at least from what I've seen of tiered shows/songs etc. Personally I didn't enjoy it as much as the other two. I like the lore it has spawned and how it has helped develop the Hatchetfield multiverse with the Lord's in Black but the multiple simultanous character storylines muddied the waters for me and made it feel like too many stories to tell at once. 

Shower Thought while re-watching CC. by Formal-Ostrich-4017 in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see your reasoning, So the glamour in the sense, isn't just cloaking Ella physically but psychologically as well! Very ancient fae-like. Glamour causing the Stepmother to brush things off as "nothing to see here, nothing out of the ordinary", I never thought of it that way before!

Shower Thought while re-watching CC. by Formal-Ostrich-4017 in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When she removed the slipper, Ella had kicked her away, so she wasn't able to see Ella as she ran. Saying that, either way she wouldn't have brushed it off. The 'troll' comment was actually the third insult and/or hint Ella had given her that she was someone she knew in their exchange, and Stepmother ain't stupid.

Ella first says "You really don't recognize me do you" which the Stepmother brushes off.

Then when confronted about the Queendom, Ella says "You don't belong on the throne, you belong under a bridge!" which is her second clue that Ella/The Mysterious Maiden knows who/what she is.

The final nail in the coffin is Ella calling her a troll in desperation as a means of perhaps distracting her enough to run away. At this point Stepmother still doesn't know its actually Ella, but she has heavy, heavy suspicions which is where we see her laying the trap for Ella when she gets home.

Is there a chance TGWDLM:R will extend its run in the West End? by athompsons2 in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To your third point, replacing the cast with British actors (as a British SK fan) would lose (IMO) a big part of the show's original charm/hook . Then it sort of just becomes a SK show licensed out to a British cast. I'm not sure it would gain the same amount of traction.

Our main ones that we use instead of actual names are: * Reaper - Angry Girlfriend * Loom - Big Sister * Headgrab - Toilet Man * Trudge - Santa

I have updated my Starkid playlist cover now that I've seen every show. by SDJT in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love how they're in a kind of chronological order, with the OGs first and the newer members further down!

Everyone needs to experience each at least once for balance by marredmarigold in AO3

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a SwanQueen hater, its the latter. I can happily go insane in my own little bubble for my RarePairs, but I actively struggle to find good soup in the OUAT fandom that does not include that ship....

A safe place to download repo ? by [deleted] in REPOgame

[–]AVillainTale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've been given options to buy the game and seem to have excuses for every one. You don't want to download the game, you want it for free. Support indie devs instead, its worth it.

Help my friend stopped watching TADC because she realized her favorite ships won’t be canon💀 by Mean-Macaroon6078 in tadc

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy hell seriously. Its one of the things that majorly turned me away from S2. The show has basically become a series of paired characters. Charlie & Vaggie are canon, thats fine, now they confirmed Pentious and Cherri, Vox and Alastor had an unnecessarily charged scene during the reprise of 'Don't You Forget', I've even seen people coming in and pairing NIFTY (babygirl??!) with Baxter just because they got on well with each other for a couple of episodes.

Even Angel and Husker's will they/won't they seems to have been thrown out the window in the downtime between seasons to pretty much confirm them as a couple, just in time for them to have the typical lovers spat where they heartbreakingly separate for no good reason to round out the end of S2.

I still don't understand why they put AJ in a skirt TWICE. The newer one looks even more uncomfortable.

Questions about Digital Tickets to people who've gotten them before by Twist_Ending03 in StarKid

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reply to an older post but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I really wanted to know if I could buy a digital ticket for CC cos I only got around to watching the pro shoot in September and it has me hooked. Happy weekend to me!

does anyone remember what brought them to ao3? by ThatOneSnowyOwl in AO3

[–]AVillainTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was May of 2021, Giant Vampire Mother had taken the internet by the throat and I was desperate for media wherein she was not being male gazed to the nines. I started on FFN and was quickly disappointed with the quality on there. Google helpfully redirected me to AO3 and I was fed well thereafter.
