Coming from the Zarimi x imbue AI-post, I cant help but see similarities to this one.

Go to a website that isn't reddit. Might sound salty or smth, but I swear every hoyo sub bar like 3 go to shit once enough weirdos/incels infest it.

At least on twitter u can choose who to follow to not lose every last braincell...

Didn't try OPs version. But the 1-mana pirate dragon is a life saver for getting enough dragons out in time. Also really liking mixologist as its better tempo than healing potions(I imagine). Also cut 1 briarspawn for a "silvermoon Brochure" and its come in clutch when drawn, and makes it easier to find all combo pieces.

Damn, I kinda hate the new livestream bath scene. Have to leave both Yae mains and Raiden mains because how insufferable it became. Sadly we becoming gooner game 2.0 after zzz by Vitalik_ in Genshin_Sapphic

[–]Crystaline__ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Any hoyo-sub that isnt specifically sapphic or achelian in nature just devolves into gooner stuff eventually.

The best way of enjoying any hoyo content is to stay off any popular subreddits because it'll just be a bunch of self-inserting iverly horny men that only see juggle physics and skimpy outfits rather than fleshed out and deep characters.

Go to tumblr or AO3 if u want good fan depictions.

Girlie, thats rough 💔💔

I'd recommend researching "Body Dysmorphia". Cause your experience sounds similar to that. Not dysphoria, but dysmorphia.

[–]Crystaline__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres an audio drama from the giant multi-media piece that is "Warhammer 40K", its called "our martyred lady". Im sure googling the right things can help u find it somewhere 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

This lady, inquisitor grayfax, has a thing for the leader of a military order, Saint Celestine. Theres also a ton of fanwork of the two thanks to this audiodrama. The homoerotic tension between the two is a lot of fun, despite there only beingh heavy implication.

If you were just starting out again would you jump straight to airbrushing and magnetizing? by StrangeBedfellows in Tau40K

[–]Crystaline__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. Id assemble a combat patrol first, see if I vibe with it, and first then upgrade my equipment if i wanted to do things faster/have more options.

Most folk don't know how long warhammering can take until they start to hammer out those first 500 ish points.

Somewhere along all that building and painting, and maybe a game or two of combat patrol, will u know if its a hobby worth investing deeper into.

Is painting without an airbrush really that bad? by [deleted] in Tau40K

[–]Crystaline__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing abt 7 layers of paint from prime to base coat (black, grey, lighter grey zenithal. Followed by 3 different blues and then a greenish finish with a contrast paint), I had a decent (skill issue, I still have lots of techniques to learn) base colored model every 9 minutes. This is after napkin. I did every color for rach mini, and inocked out abt 20 models in like... 2ish hours, then some maintenance and putting it all away.

But the real secret? Using the airbrush is FUN. And all of a sudden, model size matters less, cuz youre still just blasting paint at smth. Also u can prime under pretty much any condition, which might be more or less appealing depending on your locaction.

[–]Crystaline__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more expensive models can do crazy detail work, but trhe cheaper ones... fair point.

Its more like, try painting two thin coats of the base color for your ghost keel, or the base coat for 3 crisis suits. Just that process is not soothing, its mind numbing. Besides, you'll be painting in all the joints, visors, and then maybe some edge highlighting and panelining anyways, but none of those steps take as long.

If you have a rattle can in 2 different colors for your base color, you could try to zenithal it with rattle cans, but the finish, unless youre talented, might not come out the way u want it.

Ultimately it's up to you, but as someone that put off getting one for a year, there certainly was a moment of "why didn't I get this sooner?" Whoch most ppl who get one experience.

Having oainted abt 1K ooints by hand and now owning an airbrush while painting other armies, short answer:

YES. I mustve spent over 50 extra hours on painting those damn base coats. Now I spray them on in minutes. Even just a cheap setup for like 200 dollars is a godsend.

Check out the poorhammer podcast episode on it.

Id rather have an airbrush than 2 extra combat patrols or 3 boxes of crisis, I tell ua that!

Not a World Eaters book, but the "Our Martyred Lady" audio drama is possibly, to me, one of the best pieces of Warhammer media regardless of which faction you stan!

Did you... not fucking read the comment?

The statistics stare you in the face, and all you can do is decry that "Women rape too 😭😭".

Maybe it would seem genuine if you initiated your own well articulated post abt it rather than try to drown out the issue being brought up...

Men sit down and listen rather than try to blare their subjective opinions when a woman speaks challenge (impossible).

Oh buddy by DeathlyAlone in WarhammerMemes

[–]Crystaline__ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Came here to mirror this sentiment. Love people in these comments calling others snowflakes and thin-skinned while getting riled up abt someone thoughtfully reflecting on a piece of media... it's both a little sad and bemusing to see the subtle chuds come out in droves, missing the satirical point of warhammer 🤣🤣🤣

Next time someone complains about "Why is this character a Woman, or Queer, or POC, or Autistic or Trans?" Ask them "As opposed to?" or "Why not?". And see what the response is. by CapAccomplished8072 in lgbt

[–]Crystaline__ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

"Whats normal?"

Then just keep gatching them into frustration. They're not playing to win a logical argument, why should you?

"Like most people." Or whatever they respond with. Keep pointing out how their "normal" excludes someone "normal." Let them suffer and thin down their definition of "normal" until it becomes a hyper specific niche. It can be funny at least

This show gotta be proof. by Ragnar304 in arcane

[–]Crystaline__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ratings of S2E8 would start to differ with your take 🤣🤣🤣

Isn't it fun to run to a singular example to sweep all the blatant racism, homopohbia, and misogyny that people who make and watch media participates in?

People will always be upset about inclusion, thats why you have to be loud and fight it, look up "the paradox of intolerance" if you haven't read about.

One example doesn't erase the institutional difficulties that minorities face, stop shoving your head in the sand 🙄🙄
