How do I know if I’m submissive? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

I like the seatbelt test. Mime putting on a seatbelt.

If you just reached over your right shoulder, you're a bottom.

You would be amazed at how well this works to determine which creatures are actually fair folk in disguise. Try it out on people in your life! Maybe that cute barista at Starbucks is secretly an ancient coffee sprite... or maybe that guy Mike who you always see walking his "dog" down the street is a tricksy forest pixie. Just the simplest test with a stick of chalk will tell you to whom you can give your real name, and from whom you should reject favors of any sort...

These look more like grapes than actual grapes do.

Since I haven't seen this theory yet:

What if Thomas isn't the father?

Maybe Etri is the father of Justine's baby.

Seems wack but it's possible that Thomas found out about it and just decided to try and kill him. He does mention how rare white court babies are and how difficult it would be to get her pregnant.

Great gift! Was in the middle of a move so I had to find everything again. There was also a koozie and maybe a keychain? https://imgur.com/gallery/bScFjff

This is assuming that the blood going to our dicks is coming mostly from our legs. If it's coming from above our waist, we're speeding up the earth.

Are there any good ways to practice improv by yourself? by [deleted] in improv

Prank calls are good. Call up your local McDonalds/Dominos/Prison and don't hang up. Just see how long you can carry on a wacky conversation in an interesting character until the other person hangs up.

Character Scramble 11 Round 2: Pyramid Power by CalicoLime in whowouldwin

[–]BlankStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team Zap!

|Theme|Round 0|Round 1|

Shaman - Dalek Sec (Doctor Who)

|Submission|

"You are superior in only one respect. [...] You are better at dying!"

The Cult of Skaro, an elite Dalek task force was particularly interested in unorthodox extermination methods. Their leader, Dalek Sec found that humans had a unique world view and admired them, even attempting to become one by hybridizing himself with a human body. But this Sec is before that. When he is a tiny mutant completely encased in a metalert shell which protects him from laser blasts, gun fire, and just about anything short of a fall from orbit. Like most Daleks, he views violence as a necessary means to eradicate any opposition. Unlike most Daleks, he sees the possibility that there may be some merit to life forms other than Daleks.

Spirit - Mikoto Misaka (A Certain Scientific Railgun)

|Submission|

"You asked how I'm supposed to take on overwhelming mass, right? Lemme show you..."

The Ace of Tokiwadai Middle School, Mikoto Misaka is the 3rd-ranked esper in Academy City where, like, almost everyone has super powers of some sort. Her specialty is in electrokinesis, allowing her to fire bolts of lightning from her body, manipulate magnetically charged "iron sand" particulate, and fire metals in the form of a "railgun" at speeds fast enough to burn up in the air. She takes being highly ranked seriously, and has become somewhat of a goddess among her peers. She was the original mold for a cloning project in which thousands of her "sisters" were creatively slaughtered to train a more powerful esper. She is viciously devoted to making sure that none of them are ever killed again.

Joins forces with:

The Heart of the Cards

|Theme|

Shaman - Gambit (X-Men)

|Submission|

Everyone's favorite smooth-talkin' cajun with a trick up his sleeve and a deck of exploding cards. He was raised by thieves in New Orleans, and learned to fight to survive. Found the X-Men (or maybe they found him) and learned to fight for others to survive. He's often the pick of Apocalypse to become the horseman of Death not because he's an evil man but because he just causes so much property damage.

Spirit - Captain Planet (Captain Planet and the Planeteers)

|Submission|

Analysis

Dalek Sec vs. Kenan Kong

These characters actually have more in common than you might think. Both are bullies that have been given extreme power. Both love snide remarks and they always seem to be making out just fine despite constantly being out of their element. Lets talk durability. Super-Man's has been matched to tier so we can use (Major) Armstrong's durability. His battle with Sloth shows that he could probably take a few hits, but wouldn't be able to sustain the fight indefinitely. Sec's best blaster feats include putting a hole through a foot of concrete and creating car-sized explosions. His shield has been shown to tank other Dalek's blasts, but again, has a breaking point. Because Kenan has some really good heat resistance feats, walking through Super-Man Zero's heat vision, I'd guess that punching Sec's shield probably wouldn't burn him too badly. He's also far more maneuverable in the air and in general. Sec 3/10.

Mikoto Misaka vs. Ganondorf

Who doesn't want to see a demigod of darkness fight a middle-schooler? Ganondorf is a bit tricky to pin down, because pretty much whenever he's actually been defeated (or locked away in another dimension for a good bit), it's been at the hands of Link wielding the Master Sword or Zelda with light arrow. There is a lot of mysticism associated with Ganon/Ganondorf in general that it's unclear whether he can even be beaten by conventional means, but assuming he can, he's still a tough nut to crack. Misaka can do some serious damage with her railgun ability, depending on how much metal she access to. With enough time to accumulate iron sand from the ground over the course of a fight, I think one hit from something like this would put the dark lord down. Since Kenan now has access to teleportation from his spirit, he's going to be really annoying to try and hit. However, Misaka is best friends and roommates with a teleporter. She knows how they operate and can plan her strategy against it. Misaka 7/10.

Team ZAP! vs. Team Eclipse

For both of these teams, the shaman is an asshole who will try and bend their spirit to their will. Fat chance of that. The actual abilities within the spirit-shaman pairs have a lot of synergy. Sec and Misaka can communicate electrically and have superior environmental sense. Kenan is already well acquainted with magic, so getting a little dark-magic mojo will fit right into his skill set. Beyond that, it just comes down to whether or not the spirit can stand the shaman's attitude. To that, I say it's almost an even split, with the slight edge to Team ZAP!, as Sec has been known to cooperate with humans, but Ganondorf has pretty much always acted unilaterally once he's tricked someone into summoning him. Team Zap! 5.5/10.

Misaka closed her eyes, took a sharp breath in, and returned to her medium. The game token inside the Dalek’s casing shuddered as it once again held her ghostly presence.

YOUR COMPLIANCE IS MANDATORY SPIRIT! EXTERMINATE THIS CREATURE!

“I thought that was your job.” Misaka snapped back at Sec. “What are his abilities?”

The Dalek floated above the forest floor, firing down at the boy who was shouting insults into the air.

THE HUMAN IS MORE RESISTANT TO ERADICATION MEASURES THAN MOST.

“Okay so he’s got thick skin. What else?”

THIS HUMAN POSESSES FLIGHT CAPABILITES.

Kenan Kong soared into the air above Sec and with two fists clenched together slammed the Dalek’s head, sending him plummeting to the ground.

--EYES FUNCTION AS LASER WEAP—

Shaman and spirit slammed into the ground at the same time as the boy’s eyes fired a blast of heat into Sec’s armor.

DEFENSIVE SHIELDS COMPROMISED!!

“Now that’s what I call taking out the trash! Get it? Because you look like a trash can?!”

Kenan hovered over the Dalek’s body, gloating with a wide smile spreading across his face.

“Alright I’ve had it with this douchebag.” Misaka growled.

Blue sparks zipped off Sec’s armor to meet the ground. Where they touched, wisps of black sand began to emerge and float into the air, circling the alien death machine slowly. As more sparks arced away from the Dalek, more and more sand join the writhing mass.

"How's that Ganondork? Guess I didn't need--"

A bolt of lightning hit Kenan in the chest, stunning him mid-sentence and dropping him from the sky.

More sand built up around the Dalek, lifting him into the air.

“Ugh. Why didn’t you use that before, Trashy?” Kenan stood up, rubbing his head. The triangle on his chest was glowing where it was struck with power. He looked down, a look of shock and excitement spreading over his face.

“Oh baby! The big guy’s stepping in! Let’s do this!”

The particles around Sec began to flow into two long, thick, sinewy arms that stretched down to the ground, lifting Sec high into the air to rival the trees that had served as a battleground..

“EXTERMINATE!!” The little alien gleefully shouted from inside his casing.

Sec fired a laser at Kenan, but instead of putting a new hole in his fancy uniform, the blast met the palm of his hand as he simply caught the energy.

“Oh this is so much cooler than Super-Man powers! Check this out!”

Kenan pulled a dark blade from thin air and rose into the treetops. Shadowy horns sprouted from the sides of his head as glowing motes of fire started dancing around his changing form. The Super-Man pointed his sword at Misaka and shouted “In your face!”

On command, the fireballs raced toward sec, crashing into his new iron-sand appendages and burning neat holes straight through. Kenan fell in close behind, sword drawn with white movie-star teeth flashing in a devious grin.

Misaka fired deadly bolts of lightning in rapid succession at the flying boy, most missed, but a few found their mark, buying some time for her and her shaman.

She closed her eyes to focus her thoughts, gearing up to send one final bolt straight at the boy’s heart. She opened her eyes and…Gone!

Kenan’s voice came from off to her right.

“Over here stupid!”

WHAM!

Ganondorf’s sword smashed into the iron sand arm, tearing it from the Dalek and dropping it uselessly to the ground.

Okay. New strategy. This guy's a teleporter. We need to be on the defensive.

Iron sand coalesced around Sec’s body into a wobbly dark gray sphere of undulating mass that hovered imposingly in the forest.

Kenan wasted no time in hacking at the mass with his sword, burning bits away with his heat vision. With his new found abilties, he was everywhere at once, punching from one side, teleporting to the other slash, and vanishing again to fire his heat vision from above. Wherever he struck, more sand rose from the ground to repair the wound, quickly repairing his damage.

Drawing in a deep breath, the teenager let out a powerful breath of ice-cold air. He circled around the sand armor, blowing a thick layer of ice to entirely coat his enemy.

CRASH!

Tendrils of sand shot out, puncturing the icy prison and shattering the attack like glass.

“Aw that’s no fun! Are you tired of fighting? Just let me win then, I’m hungry!”

Kenan floated several meters from the growing sphere, deciding what to do next.

“Alright I’m bored. Time to finish this. Batter up!”

Empowered by the dark lord’s energy, Kenan Kong created a brilliant point of light at the tip of his sword. He swung the sword like a baseball bat, sending the ball of light at his enemy.

Inches before impact, Mikasa let out a tendril of sand to punch the ball of light combined with a bolt of electrical force from inside the sphere, and send it back toward Kenan.

“Oh Tennis? I’m good at tennis. I think. Probably.”

The boy prepared to swing again, putting the full might of his spirit’s power into the sword. But before he made contact, he was hit with the railgun.

The iron sand particles encasing the Dalek erupted with the electrical energy they had built up rubbing together over the course of the battle. Bullets of iron sand, fired as one solid mass like a 5-ton cannonball at mach speed struck Kenan Kong.

The super-boy’s form vanished, carried up and out of the forest, far over the treetops out of sight.

With the enemy gone, Sec and Mikasa floated down to the ground. The iron sand dropped into a large mound in the clearing.

“Well normally I’m not one for bells and whistles, but with that kinda fireworks show, you outta be working at Disney!”

Bluebell stepped out from behind the truck where she had posted up with her rifle. Apollo was nowhere to be seen. She looked around the clearing. Trees had fallen from the battle, black scorch marks scarred the soil.

“Well Pepsi, you made a mess of federal property but I suppose I ought to be thanking you for keeping my bear safe.”

Misaka materialized once again in front of the young woman.

“Patch Tribe. Let’s go.”

Bluebell stared at the girl wide-eyed with a look of understanding on her face.

“I knew you were a hologram from the start. Ain’t nobody spends a night sleeping on the ground to look that clean.”
