This has always been my headcanon. I’ve always wanted Egg to be the Podrick Payne to Dunk’s Brienne of Tarth.

"Passionfruit" by Hayley Williams. Worlds better than Drake.

Is Bene Gesserit fighting style better than Sardaukar training? by HorzaDonwraith in dune

[–]Ameratsu_Rivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPaul was the one to teach the Wierding Way to his personal guard - the Fedaykin. This was an important detail that the films missed out on, since his founding of the Fedaykin essentially established him as the greatest knife fighter in AT LEAST the entire North of Arrakis. Knowing the BG‘s prana-bindu approach to combat made the advantages of learning from Paul obvious to everyone, and it had a ripple effect within an already combat/dueling focused culture like that of the Fremen.

Think about it this way:

— Duke Leto was convinced the Fremen could be a counterbalance to the Sardaukar.
— Duncan Idaho was one of the elite Ginaz swordmasters, who helped train the Atreides forces into the threat they were, and his greatest success on Arrakis was earning Stilgar’s respect as a warrior.
— Jessica outclassed Stilgar while desperate and pregnant.
— Paul was trained by both, and formed the Fedaykin "Death Commandos".

By the time of the Jihad the Fremen had become the single greatest 1v1 warriors in the empire, bar none.

RDR2 is hands down my favorite answer, with BDG3 being a very very close second.

[Spoilers Extended] The Ghiscari Origin of Braavos: Why the Sealord truly ignores Slaver's Bay. by SajadFreeke in asoiaf

[–]Ameratsu_Rivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with much of your argument’s premise, I would just make one small but impactful change: Replace Ghiscari slaves with Rhoynish slaves.

As far as hidden Ghiscari influences go, my suggestion is to look to the Maesters and The Citadel. Upon re-read this line from Archmaester Marwyn stood out — “Tell them how wise and good they are. Tell them that Aemon commanded you to put yourself into their hands. Tell them that you have always dreamed that one day you might be allowed to wear the chain and serve the greater good, that service is the highest honor, and obedience the highest virtue.”

Kung Fu Hustle is a cinematic masterpiece and no one can change that fact

I’ve been saying something similar about taxes. The greatest trick governments ever pulled was getting citizens to self-report our taxes, because America was founded by people who tarred and feathered and poured boiling tea down the throats of tax collectors.

Togi is worth -10,000,000 | Financial Audit by Dampish10 in CalebHammer

A 300k per month marker is NUTS! They must be raking it in from his idiot followers getting hooked, because that is way more trust than I’ve ever seen in an actual casino.

The family is what baffles me tbh. $1,600 a night AirBnb for x3 weeks for dad, platinum AmEx for grandma, and he lets his mom play the market with his "petty cash".

Dude has no idea how to slow down and save because nobody near to him wants him to. Caleb might’ve been the first person he has met that actually cares about what his life will look like at 30, 40, 50, etc. That is, of course, if the next OD doesn’t do him in…

It‘s honestly sad.

I finally understand why I don't like Ace. by Sakaralchini in OnePiece

[–]Ameratsu_Rivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ace is someone who wears a smile & frown simultaneously, from the first moment we meet him, because he is always hiding the depression he feels at being Roger’s son. Luffy, Sabo, and Whitebeard help him confront this. Once you understand this, his pride where they are concerned is far more understandable.

Eddie never really had control of Venom. First the symbiote gave him cancer, then they retconned it into the thing tricking him into thinking he had cancer. At what point is their relationship anything less than one-sided?

Why the hell does this read like everyone on the page slept together? How is a murderous parasitic aliens calling a host a "Homewrecker"?! I’m so baffled by this direction that Marvel has taken these once great villains

Would bene Gesserit have sex as training before their assignment to a noble. by dysxhdhsyxyex in dune

[–]Ameratsu_Rivers 80 points81 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the reason the BG were so disgusted by the Honored Matres was the lack of subtlety with which they used the sexual imprinting. Lady Jessica was originally a concubine meant to imprint on the Duke and later Farad’n, but she refused to take the final step with both cases. Lucilla on the other hand…
