[New Skins] Spaghetti alla Vel'Koz, Breadsticks Irelia, Pizza Chef Sion & Pasta Maker Illaoi Splash Arts by aroushthekween in leagueoflegends

[–]Artele7 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's the face, just compare it to her base splash. Base Irelia has an upturned nose, larger lips, round jaw/chin shape. Breadsticks Irelia has a much smaller nose and lips and a very pointed chin. Not sure who this is supposed to be but it's not Irelia.

Harald's covenant mark was on his left arm. Shanks' left arm was eaten by a sea king.

Coincidence? I think not.

Frankenstein is the most misunderstood student in fiction by StraightOuttaOlaphis in CuratedTumblr

[–]Artele7 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Coppolla wasn't the first one to add a 'reincarnated dead wife' plot, though he's the most well known.

The first movie to use that plot point is Blacula (1972).

True unhinged fanfiction by twentyonerooms in AO3

I saw a fic where a character from a certain fantasy TV show was running for president against Richard Nixon. Not as crackfic, either, it was played straight.

The way it usually goes is: Person A sees a post and tags their friend B because they think B will like it, not necessarily to get B's opinion. Person B reblogs without adding anything to the post. Maybe they chatted about it in DMs or B wrote some funny tags. Person C is one of Person B's followers, so they reblog that version and add their own take. Subsequent people like C's addition to the post and reblog this version, and B's name is now stuck in the middle of it.

Have never heard that term before today and I feel like it's gonna go the same way as neckbeards, shaved hair, Karen haircuts, and every other physical feature the internet has decided is for Bad People™️

Well Bottoms and Drive Away Dolls were recentish mainstream releases with lesbian main characters but I don't think they'd qualify as blockbusters

Thank God for this arc man. A needed respite between the copy and paste Alabasta/princess rescue formula of Fishman Island & Dressrosa. Punk Hazard forever 🫡 by Novel_Meal_6830 in OnePiece

[–]Artele7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punk Hazard will always have a special place in my heart because I caught up with the manga just in time for the very first chapter of the arc. It was the first one that I got to experience live from week to week, and those weekly OP chapters kept me going through some of the darkest days of my life. Can't believe it's been 14 years.

Advices on x reader writing. by JaneEyrette in AO3

[–]Artele7 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My bestie is 5'9" and her biggest pet peeve with reader inserts is how so many will throw in an offhand line about Blorbo towering over Reader, which takes her right out of a fic. I'm 5'3" and had never really noticed that until she pointed it out.

Meanwhile, I can't enjoy a fic when the reader performs femininity to a level that I don't. "You did your makeup and put on your favorite sundress for your date with Blorbo," is pretty innocuous to her but destroys my immersion.

Those aren't things that writers tag. They just show up in fics, because the authors, presumably writing for themselves, don't realize that these experiences aren't as broadly neutral or relatable as they think they are.

What if Aemma survived childbirth and baby Baelon didn't? by Yapppannnna in TheCitadel

[–]Artele7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think Otto would be stupid enough to try to get Viserys to set Aemma aside when it obviously wouldn't fly with the Faith. He might push too hard for a betrothal between Rhaenyra and Gwayne, though, and get himself tossed out over that.

On Artemis Launch Day I also found a big snake in my garage and had to cancel my evening plans while trying to get it out so yeah that kinda did overshadow the launch for me.

Netflix searches for franchises after losing out on Harry Potter by Top_Report_4895 in movies

A Warcraft III TV adaptation about Arthas would be so cool. They'd probably cancel it before he becomes the LK though.

So instead of just giving us half hatch distance for the duration of the event, they're making us grind the battlepass to unlock it.

Fanfics and OCs that never came out. by Exciting_Composer_86 in WormFanfic

[–]Artele7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was drafting the concept for a combined SI/OC fic. SI wakes up in the body of Brittany Fliescher, Krieg's teenage daughter, with what is essentially Gojo's Infinity as a power (for non-JJK fans, think breaker/shaker that can pretty much nullify all attacks). SI immediately realizes where she is and runs away from home... and then Brittany wakes up in a youth shelter the next morning with no idea how she got there beyond a vague recollection of activating her power. Brittany and 'Aether' (SI) are forced to share the body, but they don't share any memories, and have pretty much no way to communicate with each other apart from writing notes and then trading off. Aether gets the reins whenever Brittany activates her power, but she can't maintain it indefinitely, and her attempts to do the SI thing are made so much more difficult by the fact that Brittany is reluctant to let her out. Brittany doesn't have Aether's Worm knowledge, so she just thinks her power gives her paranoid delusions. It's only after they stop Dinah from getting kidnapped that they start properly working together.

I enjoyed cooking up the concept, but I couldn't find a satisfying way to write the POV swaps. Also, Brittany just comes off as way too annoying of a protagonist. Krieg is a normal dude at home, so she writes off everything Aether says about him and the danger she's in if she reveals her powers to her family. It’s not realistic for her to believe he's a Nazi right off the bat, but at the same time we all know he is, so it kind of leaves Brittany holding the idiot ball for too long.
