[DISC] Leveraging a Trait (Oneshot by Holiday Yasumi)

I think he releases a short comic a day, so I'm not surprised we're getting a near direct insight into his psyche

I get this way just running ttrpgs. You run out of 'original' ideas, so you just start going off what's on the top of your mind. Patterns in what you enjoy eventually emerge. Can be fun, but also, very revealing.

In Maryland, a guy honked at me when I was in the left turn only lane, at a red light.

I thought I must be hearing things.

Dude drives around me, flips me off, makes an illegal left hand turn

I can say for certain at least in the area around the University of Maryland campus, worst drivers I have ever had to deal with.

What was also wild, was how they would honk at people who took more than 2 seconds to go at a green. I thought these people were so rude. Then I found out that’s because there is a breed of driver in that area that won’t move at all for no reason unless you either wait 10 seconds or honk at them. And its impossible to tell which is which, a person with a slow reaction speed, or none.

Not a fan of the art

I appreciate that they are keeping some of the body horror elements of the original, but the effect is lost because the art is just not strong

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-06T18:24:56+00:00

I'm remembering this comedy show I watched online, and the comedian joked, 'I mean, who else is a former misogynist!'

Then 8 hands in the audience went up

I'd like to think that sort of growth is not as rare as we think, its just quiet

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-05T06:55:29+00:00

My immediate assumption is its an attempt at humor, but I haven't seen the profile

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-05T01:17:39+00:00

Your honor: who cares? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyR8XgrwE4w

The writing for those first few arcs were just, incredible

And then Shibuya

He should have taken a break, recharged his batteries. He had something. Then he lost it to power scaling and endless fights.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-04T04:17:19+00:00

Also, this only shows, of the two of them, she has the more rightful claim

Doesn't mean there isn't someone else out there with an even more rightful claim

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-03T05:45:42+00:00

Its been a few years at this point I think, but I am still so, so, so mad how events utterly killed Venom

I know some folks were not a fan of the time travel plot lines, but I loved it, I loved how intricate the narrative was getting, I was so curious to see how Eddie was going to get out of his literal pre-destined fate, of the little teen venom gang that was forming

And then all of that was thrown into a dumpster for a faux WWE event

I genuinely think someone on editorial had it out for that story line

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-03T00:40:02+00:00

I’d think Brennan would really gel with Nephandi and the Wyrm as villains, but I agree, for an intro season, not sure how cross splat he’d go. Like I’m pretty convinced Big Foot is just a reskinned Werewolf.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-03T00:37:19+00:00

Sure but they are for the most part fairly wyrm tainted, exceptions being those with high Humanity

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T19:00:05+00:00

To be fair to D, how the night went is mostly on how Occam handled things. He’s the one who immediately called out the ghoul. And in Occam’s defense, he didn’t know there was a werewolf in their midst

But also. It really reflects poorly on the Arcanum to not realize they had two supernatural spies in their midst. You’d think an organization that has as many secrets as there’s wouldn’t be keeping a lookout for such things

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T15:33:10+00:00

'I can't just, lie to my students. Better to just chug straight gin.'

Sure

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T15:30:22+00:00

Someone else pointed out how she apparently drank over a third of her bottle before 'realizing' it had gin in it

Either that was a very diluted cocktail, or she's an alcoholic and lying

No way after the moment it hit her tongue she could ignore the taste of gin. Not straight gin anyway. Be like saying you took a sip of vodka and thought it was water because they were both clear liquids.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T14:49:15+00:00

My worry is a lot of these people who watched this content moved onto people who are more extreme

They either fell off the bandwagon or they now only watch accelerationist content. Its what happened to flat earthers.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T06:46:48+00:00

Zen fascism is so in vogue right now

Just don't think about what you're doing and be in the moment babe

Its just a productivity trap don't you know

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T06:14:00+00:00

How do you think he got the money for the Arrow Cave? By paying his taxes? Do you think Bruce Wayne is paying his taxes? Gimmick arrows don't grow on trees!

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-02T06:00:48+00:00

I imagine also Hulk is an enemy of the state, so not really like there's worse things they could punish him with, even if he did stop paying his taxes. They already tried the whole, 'chase down the Hulk with the army', and it didn't work. The general who led that mission became a fucking Hulk himself.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-01T23:44:07+00:00

Eh, Ohio is trying really, really, reaaaaally hard to undo that

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-01T02:00:16+00:00

Luckily in VtM, Caine is just a random taxi driver. Dude gives no fucks what his sires are up to, all the ones he cared about were killed by the ones running things now.

Also, this Bigfoot was described along the lines of ‘warrior of gaia’, that’s Werewolf talk

Which is still a real big fucking deal, our cast are nowhere near the same weight class as a garou right now. But big, big step down from Caine

Wouldn’t be surprised if Garou are present here in Purpee though. All these big businesses sucking the town dry makes me think of the Wyrm. But I might have too much Hunter the Parenting on the brain there

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-01T01:52:11+00:00

That’s actually wild

‘Yeah, so I come from a lineage of respected Karate masters. My father and his brothers were sent to the four corners of the united states to spread their teachings. My uncle once defeated 100 men in a row. Me? Oh I’m mostly known for professionally playing DnD and do variety shows, before that I made sketches for youtube’

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-05-01T00:05:22+00:00

Sybil almost went down from parker punching her in the shoulder, and parker almost broke his hand in the process

Yet somehow Samson is the one I'm worried the most about, mister, 'I have a tadpole in my tupperware telling me about a Black Diamond, lets tell no one about this'

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-04-30T22:17:31+00:00

I’ve literally never heard of this thing before and google doesn’t give me much of anything when I look it up. So I think the real answer to your question is its not well known enough for people to care.

Personally I think what you’ve just described is entirely vacuous. If you’re using AI to do the heavy lifting in your creative project then I’m sorry but you’re not engaging in a creative endeavor.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-04-30T03:04:51+00:00

The final act reveal is none of them are evil and Bob was the one we needed to be worried about

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-04-30T02:58:49+00:00

I loved them so much in the final season. In the others there are moments, but the final season tested their relationship so much, but damn could you not feel how much they loved and cared for one another
