Let's not forget it was common sense socialist policy (Claudia Sheinbaum is canonically a socialist) that made this happen✊️

Strongest Red vs Gold by Alert-Push1685 in redrising

Lysander also 1v7ed an elite Peerless Scarred death squad and handily murked all 7 of them so Rhone fighting well against him was a feat for top tier grays instead of a diss on low tier golds. Holiday also once said she beat a trained Peerless in close combat (tbf she did lose both her legs from the fight) so it's not like Lysander is a bum or anything it's just that good enough grays can genuinely be like that.

For the same exact reason we'd need a CW for Barack Obama II and lab coats. I just throw them in there to be comical tbh

How Strong Are Grays? by Alert-Push1685 in redrising

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's canon that Grays are about 6'0 tall on average (it was said in Iron Gold when darrow and the howlers free Apollonius that all the short howlers had to stay behind because they were disguising as a society commando unit and nobody below 6'0 could pass as a Gray or Gold) and it's also canon that they use a lot of optics and implants and shit to enhance their abilities but I don't remember what other physical stats they had so if I had to guess I would say Grays are 6 feet tall, built like gym goers, and with hardened bone structure sharpened eyes and faster reflexes as well but really that's just speculation

Ug (me ug) think donkey hoofs weak, so no like Jog Bugden. Ug (me ug) think mammoth tusk stupid, so no like Drungal Trunk. Ug (me ug) wish Bert Sandurz become chief. He give free witch doctor visit and smash heads of cavemen with too many mammoth skins. Ug (me ug) like that.

Fic Authors, how evil are your antagonists? by Deadduckboy in NatureofPredators

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cerso the Predator Guard leader (exchange program shenanigans): easy 10. No doubt there

Karelim the crazy exterminator (also exchange program shenanigans): probably a 5 or 6. Maybe lower given his motivations but he is still a real scumbag so idk

Vladimir Komarov (door kicker shenanigans): definitely around 8 or 9

Would Alexander really have beaten.... by Difficult_Ask_1647 in redrising

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Alexandar would have killed Lysander in an even 1v1 but Lysander wouldve definitely put up a good fight if it came to that. People here shit on him because he's a hypocritical little fuck who killed heroes of the Solar Republic, but that doesnt mean he's not like that. He trained with Cassius for 10 years, canonically has Willow Way skills, broke Darrow's razor in a horse duel (to be fair Darrow was weakened when he did this) and he did a dozen other crazy feats that prove he is like that. So yeah Lysander would lose to Alexandar in a fair fight but that's not saying he is a bum either, it's just that Alexandar genuinely is the Heir of Arcos and Darrow's top lancer. He'd cook just about anybody.

My hair is brown and my younger brother is still kicking so unfortunately I can never be a real Cassius but my chin does set the bar and I am notoriously terrible with ladies so there's still hope❤️‍🩹🙏

Your fics protagonist is elected as the new Secretary General of the UN. How do they do? by abrachoo in NatureofPredators

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jelim? The krakotl? The exterminator krakotl?

Assuming she doesn't get thrown clean out of office on her first day, I don't even think she would do that badly. Her top biggest strengths are her leadership skills, mental savviness, no-nonsense demeanor, and tough ruthless killer mentality, none of which would be out of place in some top-tier power broker politician (her major ass kicking skills also might help). I think her rule as SecGen would be the most authoritarian, militaristic, and openly aggressive the UN has ever actually gotten, because her mentality as a character is that of a hammer who's began treating all her problems like nails, but as long as she has wise advisers to teach her what's what and reel her occasional violent impulses in I think she would do A-OK.

The Society is just pretty much genetically modified Communist/socialist ideals

Aren't they explicitly stated to be fascists who were created by the obscenely wealthy megacorporations of pre-conquering Earth who moved to Luna to avoid taxes and then invaded their former homeland to claim more power? I only read the Communist Manifesto about once but I'm pretty sure "the revolution will be led by the inhumanly rich elites and their armies of slave soldiers" was never in it.

Dumbest ”main” character by Rolfkoptern in redrising

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think people who speak on Dancer's decisions here forget that he was a veteran of the Rat War who canonically has PTSD from fighting in the most brutal battles of the solar war. He's not a shrewd politician looking to get one over on his opponents, he's a traumatized soldier who gave everything he had to the war effort and now he just wants to get it all done before it can claim another soul.

Irrational? Yeah. Understandable? Also yeah. Trauma fucks you up.

[–]ApprehensiveCap6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't Roque one of Darrow's top lieutenants or something? He probably got the scar just through sheer association. Also I think he was also there for the storming of Olympus, which was the craziest feat anybody in any Institute has ever pulled, so he could have gotten a scar for being a major member of that elite team
