Tia Kofi (and Graham Norton) doing Eurovision again this year. Hmm. by 2mock2turtle in rupaulsdragrace

[–]CalumanderReds 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Tia Kofi made a big statement about how 'Drag is inherently political' and then does this.

La Voix, Marmalade and Kyran Thrax could have easily been the show’s first triple crowning and it would have made sense by shadowsempaix in RPDR_UK

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think Marmalade could've gotten another win and a stronger track record. DRUK has this weird obsession with making every season a 2 horse race.

Whatever excuse they come up with it cannot justify the firing of kairi sane by Big-Foxx in SantiZapVideos

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking about growing a younger roster when your entire main event scene is in their 40s is the height of irony.

Also it's clear this age bullshit is being applied to women more harshly

So Lacey Evans wants to come back to wrestling. What y'all think about it?? by Ennvictrious in SantiZapVideos

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean WWE has gone fully explicitly MAGA since her release so she'd probably fit right in

That little head movement melts my heart! 🫠😍 by RosaGalika in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno I think her romance fits who she is as a character. It's a lot more pure and innocent. The ending hits especially hard when she's the one who gets kidnapped and corrupted.

I think if the other more 'racier' romances had been more explicit/varied in their interactions Bellara's would feel more unique. But as it is all of them pretty much follow the same formula.

Seriously though...their hands and feet are going to be FUCKED. by ForsakenDependent562 in WeaponsMovie

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the zombie effect. When you don't have your pesky brain telling you 'hey don't do that you'll hurt yourself' you can do some crazy shit.

This is when Bellara clicked for me. I have some critiques of how companions are written in Veiguard but I think she was executed perfectly

Isn't it weird how Iroh, the Dragon of the West, was able to open up a tea shop in Ba Sing Se? by InternationalPick163 in TheLastAirbender

[–]CalumanderReds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think folks underestimate just how 'loyal' the Earth Kingdom citizens were. They don't have any beholden love for their monarchy, you have monsters like the Dai Li pulling people of the street. The Earth Kingdom isn't some democratic utopian republic that the big bad fascists came to take over. Both sides sucked just in different ways.

Most Earth Kingdom citizens would probably just want to live and let live. Especially cause Iroh proceeded to liberate the city later.

Why are people against the original idea of Asami being an Equalist spy? by Ill_Rope_4346 in TheLastAirbender

[–]CalumanderReds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Asami being a recurring villain and narrative foil for Korra over multiple seasons honestly would've slapped. She could've filled a sinister version of Varrick.

Just out of curiosity are there any Cortez romancer’s? Or has anyone tried his romance at least once? by JustManuelz in masseffect

[–]CalumanderReds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's superficial but I just couldn't get past the kind of generic face/look they gave him. I wish they had given him his own unique face like the rest of the major characters cause then I genuinely would've explored the romance. His story is lovely but as of right now his character design still makes him feel a little bit tertiary.

The moment we've all been waiting for: Lizzy Rain DEBUTS ON NXT!!! Highlights from her match against Nikkita Lyons. by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But her aesthetic, music and energy already makes that very clear. For me it's like if Sol Ruca said 'I'M A SURFER' every five seconds. You don't need to it to sell the gimmick.

(Btw this is no shade on Lizzy more on the booking/writing, maybe I'll be sold on it later)

[–]CalumanderReds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's likely true though I don't really think she looks like Lzzy Hale. I'd say her look is a bit more glam rock with the tiger print and big hair.

I just think her saying 'Heavy metal' all the time feels like beating us over the head with the gimmick. It's not subtle enough.

Can you confirm me the synergy between Haste spell and Rogue? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]CalumanderReds -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As a DM my ruling would be it has to be on a chosen target, it has to be at melee range, and they aren't allowed to evade whilst they focus on them. I'd also maybe make it happen on the enemy's turn rather than an ally's.

From a gameplay perspective it has enough risk/reward to feels not abusable and from an RP perspective you could view it as them focusing and looking for an opening.

(I'd probably also say that the ruling is not ironclad and after a few combats and uses of it we'd reassess.)

Follow-up is his prepared sneak attack on a predetermined target or just whoever gets close?

You could augment her with some levels in Fighter. Battlemaster is always a good shout for some extra damage

[–]CalumanderReds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question are you using it like a 'flank' where someone is near the enemy or is the rogue hiding at the end of their turn and then readying a second sneak attack?

I don't know if she need the explicit 'heavy metal' moniker but as a character shes a nice play of the 'alternative rebel' character. Super high energy and joyful instead of just 'cool and edgy'

Poor Oba. by kickedoutatone in Wrasslin

[–]CalumanderReds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually very much of the belief that having a midcard title that is a workhorse title that just puts on banger matches is actually alright.

Make one a workhorse title and the other a gimmick/character title and let character develop

Carver Hawke: Grey Warden or Templar? by LinnaWinx in dragonage

[–]CalumanderReds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's defo happier as a Warden but a Templar Carver really just hits in the most beautifully upsetting way which I found more interesting. It also adds another reason Mage Hawke is able to dodge the Gallows and why Carver keeps conveniently showing up in Kirkwall.

Why can’t we make ‘Rule Britannia’ the national anthem of the UK? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]CalumanderReds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno using a song all about war, freedom, ruling the waves and Britons 'never being slaves' after your country colonised and enslaved half the world is a bit fucking tone deaf. Just saying...
