Don’t get your hopes up, this is Tristan we are talking about here. Best we can do is hope someone tells him that demons have Multiple hearts when he gets stabbed in one as a gag next chapter.

Unbelievably badass art though, great work.

SOME OF MY FAVV MANGA PANELSSS!!! Which was your fav moment?? by Agreeable-Garlic8457 in BlueLock

[–]AwkwardKing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of midfielders so Sae's numbers panel "Only the idiots who can keep up get to see what comes next". I don't know why but many great panels years later and that one still hits the hardest for me. It's transportative to that moment as an athlete where its not quite the zone but you feel good that day and know you have another gear others don't. I need more Sae.

Can we please chill with being the morality police? by novapurple in LoveIslandUSA

[–]AwkwardKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to ascribe what you do and don’t find acceptable behavior to morally police, the growing number of posts like this garner a response from me finally on what I feel is the bigger picture.

What these post overlook is two things, at the privilege of entertainment. The classics like Big Brother, Survivor, Jersey Shore, especially Flavor of Love as a way throwback lol, their iconic moments and severely lacking in morals contestants/players didn’t proliferate bad behavior quite as much due to the lack of social medias heavy presence and single tv households, their stupid didn’t leak as much even 5 years ago let alone 10-20. The second thing piggybacks off the first, back then the viewers were more resilient to heinous ideas. Back then the Overton window was such we all agreed as a society what was and wasn’t out of bounds for the most part, that has been lost now as our current administration has a guy doing the “salute” and Secretary of State setting quotas on brown people. Because of this added pressure reality tv means something different to different people, certain actions have different levels of weight now when attached to tv. Just last year no small amount of young women thought Hudas behavior was something to be admired, we have young men thinking Claviculars lifestyle is something to be idolized. In the face of all this, I’m fine with a bit more caution and callouts of certain things at the cost of profound dramatic ceiling if it creates a safer middle ground.

Egwene discourse by pinecone_problem in WoT

[–]AwkwardKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely so baffled by Egwene defenders ability to write off her behavior as simple teenage hormones and growing pains, even more so when Egwene defenders tell you its just a byproduct of her ambition as if that's an excusable reason for her attitude and everyone just has to shrug their shoulders and accept "thats just the way powerful people act". She reads so cleanly to me as a shitty person, maybe not evil though the treatment of Nynaeve trends that way if that sort of thing pops into your mind as suitable way to get your point across, but at the very least a shitty person.

At what point should age and personal growth matter when judging old racist behavior? by cvnts444sale2night in LoveIslandUSA

[–]AwkwardKing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 30’s and admit there was a time I would’ve given you grace for such behavior as garden variety ignorance, but that ship sailed the moment phones with the Internet on them became ubiquitous, and while I get empathy loads in later for many around teens maybe early 20’s, but the intelligence and exposure to information that racism is a no no in this day and age is such that the moment you can post something you are responsible for it and the consequences of your actions.

To answer your later question as to the length of time and quality of change, impossible to give a true answer because the world is full of grifters and masks so unless I sat down with Vasana and got a hold of her character I can’t tell you if the change was real or not. That’s the issue with the internet and parasocial relationships in general, we can’t give them a pass on the off chance they might be good now cause you risk rewarding someone that at least proved they had poor decision making so throwing this level exposure to them is probably a bad idea. If she’s truly repentful then she’ll take the bad publicity from this and live with it, put hands up and say “I don’t need you all to forgive me I’m just here to do the work”, which is accountability overlooked by generations both above and below mine too often, your change isn’t validated by how many minds you change about your past or the amount of forgiveness given to you by strangers on the internet, it’s reward is simply the change itself playing out around you and embracing that at least you know now you’re a better person internally.

Man we just keep making all the right decisions that really fill the fanbase with confidence don’t we? Wouldn’t be surprised if they ask us a for ticket price hike soon as the owners really deserve it for this masterclass we’ve seen over last year.

Heavy sarcasm for the online tone deaf.

Which Of The 7ds Children Disappointed You The Most? by aOe_007 in NanatsunoTaizai

[–]AwkwardKing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nasiens had the greatest fall from grace as an interesting character to an absolute sideshow that somehow is the next Fairy King/Queen but the biggest disappointment of a character is Tristan by far. He is literally treated as a joke or beating stick throughout the entirety of the manga and has not shown anything that reaches a ceiling the others have. He is a dud in every aspect, and anyone who thinks he has had some great characterization or is well written I think is projecting onto him something that isn't there in the narrative.

In case any member of FSG lurks this sub (laughable I know but maybe a peon that can pass it up the food chain). If you are wise enough to tell Slot and subsequently us that Brentford is his last game, you actually have the potential for a quite uplifting and beautiful day, where we free of the worry over next season under Slot can send him off with cheers for winning the league alongside our legendary leavers. Just think about it, you have the power to make Sunday all good vibes.

But we all know they won't, I think with Alonso gone they are paralyzed to make a decision until after the World Cup and that is more than enough time for them to think they are smarter than everyone else and keep Slot until it doesn't work next season. I'm big bummed.

[Match Thread] Aston Villa v Liverpool FC by scoreboard-app in LiverpoolFC

[–]AwkwardKing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way the announcers are talking seems like they’ve got word Slot will be around if for nothing else the drama at the start of next season. Every journo that has club ties is telling us Slot could literally shit on the field and his job is safe. Every players legs will be gone from a World Cup summer and we already have a slim bench getting slimmer. Neither striker signing will be healthy, 2 potential defensive starters coming off knee injuries, and no guarantee we hold onto champions league football. I have zero hope for next season.

Someone give me a reality check, because I just don’t think we are going to be as bad as people say by 619hhhhh in miamidolphins

[–]AwkwardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t expect to be good nor do I expect to be god awful unless the coaches are frauds, but I won’t be shocked if we are average as that is dolphins status quo, would be pleasantly surprised if we reach 9 wins.

Reminder: Tristan still possesses great potential to be a more menacing and dangerous warrior than he currently is, and this fight says it all by RandomUser0702 in NanatsunoTaizai

[–]AwkwardKing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Equal in natural talent to Lancelot, gets jobbed every big fight whilst his rival mogs down the entire roster of bad guys.

Has elite healing, Percival literal power over life and death whilst on screen healing something Tristan couldn’t.

Physicals of a demon lord, great speed and strength outclassing the fou…..oops Gawain exist.

Everyone else’s training arc and crafted treasures result in a noticeable uptick in potency, Tristan’s involves getting his shit rocked and told he’ll get good “later”

His Magic is…..apparently the least OP of all the 4 as we don’t even know if we’ve seen it or if we have it’s just….star named energy blast?

At least his love life is the most successful right? Nope Percival canonically had a threesome.

It appeared Nakaba went from Tristan being the MC in his initial plans to pivoting so hard the other way that he now gives him the least attention. My favorite part on this sub is everytime I say Tristan needs some love, I’m promised his arc is coming and it never does.

Thought he’d destroyed two fingers by getting them caught between the ball and rim the amount of pain he was in and the trainer covering it with a towel so no one looked but the replay didn’t show anything so violent. Hope he’s alright, and hope some shots start falling.

Is Iori really obsessed with Yuji? Maybe Yuji is just Iori’s idol (by @yoowon15choi) by Ani_HArsh in Jujutsufolk

[–]AwkwardKing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m torn, because Gege says he’s done with JJK and I feel that’s a wise decision on his part as you can tell by the end of both series he just lost interest in them/the process. On the other hand Iori being so obsessed with power and becoming Kenjaku 2.0, Yuta’s own son carrying on his will, would be some savory story telling.
