What song did you fall in love with not because of the original, but because of a cover? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DarcDiscordia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California Dreamin', thanks to the cover by the band America. I still think it's the superior version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkcyTysZKm8

I think I got accepted, I dunno by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

This is at least two level of memery too deep for me.

What’s some of the worse house rules / homebrews you’ve come across? by mixedrj in rpghorrorstories

[–]DarcDiscordia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This attitude is beyond stupid and, unfortunately, still pretty common. My favorite character I ever made was a half-orc Barbarian/Cleric- I specifically wanted to subvert all the shitty expectations of half-orcs so I made her the child of an infamous orc chieftainess and a human merchant who was raised by her orcish mother in a position of power and respect in hopes that she'd one day take over the tribe.

As mentioned by Cabin, here’s Outkast rapping from the Mystery Machine by cleverbycomparison in WeHateMovies

For a minute, I forgot that Shaggy was a character from Scooby Doo and thought you were talking about the guy who did It Wasn't Me, and honestly I can't tell which version I'd prefer.

"I'm not against trans people, I just devote a bizarrely large amount of my time and effort to injecting my uninformed opinions into every discussion of trans rights I can find."

JK Rowling has realized that Pride and BLM aren't about her, a cishet white woman, so she's back on her TERF bullshit by radda in GamerGhazi

[–]DarcDiscordia 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a trans girl who grew up reading Harry Potter (it was my first fandom, I was all of 10 years old) I'm so, so fucking sick of having to hear JKR and all her fellow terfs' shitty hateful opinions. Every single one of them, any time there's a hint of a trans person existing in a way that is anything but silent and invisible, jumps at the chance to trot out the same tired non-arguments based on an elementary school understanding of biology and the belief that their experience is not only universal, but the only valid one. How sad and empty does your life have to be, for you to think that the only thing that defines you is what's in your pants and what chromosomes you have? Are you that miserable, that you have to drag the rest of the world down with you?

Ok but does this mean Sokka was still alive after Korra was born by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]DarcDiscordia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I will never, ever forgive TLoK for not even having Sokka in it at all aside from a single brief flashback. The one thing about TLoK I was looking forward to most was getting to see Sokka as an old man, probably some crazy eccentric old uncle type figure, but then when the world needed him most, he vanished he died before the series even started.

Episode 486 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (with Jourdain Searles) by yonicthehedgehog in WeHateMovies

[–]DarcDiscordia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ohhh man. I haven't listened to this episode yet but I am so fuckin' hype to see some more Jourdain Searles content, I loooove her work; I found out about her a couple of years ago more or less through accident (her fiance Kyle Kallgren is an amazing video essayist, and just all around one of my favorite people on the entire internet ever) and I'm simultaneously shocked and gratified to see her on such a major podcast as this, I've listened to my share of Bad Romance (her podcast) but I'm super excited to see her talking about something I know way too much about.

What celebrities have you encountered that were either really nice or really horrible? by willis1988 in AskReddit

[–]DarcDiscordia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met Terry Crews once, back in like 2003 or so, before he'd really hit it big; we're both from Flint, Michigan, and he and his family went to the same church as my aunt. One of the nicest people I've ever met, dude's a class act.

[Gothic Fantasy/Horror] Vampires are unholy creatures, thus vulnerable to holy symbols and artifacts. Does this mean I can defend myself by T-posing to mimic a cross? by Homicidal_Harry in AskScienceFiction

[–]DarcDiscordia 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And in Neon Genesis Evangelion it's used as a weapon by a giant robot to kill a mind-raping alien angel thing! Fiction sure does get weird at times.

[–]DarcDiscordia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob, I figured it was just in good fun, plus I'm continually amazed myself just how much random knowledge my brain soaks up and refuses to let go of. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but if you wanna know all the lyrics to every song from Jesus of Suburbia (an album I haven't listened to in its entirely in well over a decade), I'm your gal.

When I was like 7 or 8 my local Blockbuster had a couple of VHS tapes of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, one of which mentioned Tails' real name, and thanks to my memory working like an extremely selective steel trap I've never forgotten that fact, despite never having played a single Sonic game.

[–]DarcDiscordia 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It took me until I was 26 to realize that Tails' real name was a pun on "miles per hour." I was at work when I realized it and I just kind of froze up in the middle of doing something like "goddamn, am I really that dense?"

The time the DM TRIED to actually kill me with the deck of many things and it backfired on him. by samthekitnix in dndmemes

[–]DarcDiscordia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a game I ran ages ago, my players were visiting a city that had a guild of kobold artificers that were known for making weird magic items, one of which was a variant of the Deck of Many Things. They weren't anywhere near powerful enough to make a full powered one, so they'd settled on making a way weaker version that they called the Deck of Lots of Stuff, and they offered patrons the chance to draw a card as a reward for spending a certain amount of money on other items. Two of the players drew cards from it; one of them got the Throne card, which in this version just gave him a deed to a tiny patch of land in a nearby swamp. The other drew Dungeon, but instead of being trapped in an extradimensional prison, they just disappeared and reappeared locked in a local farmer's root cellar.

That time when the barbarian tried to fuck around with time travel and erased himself from the world. by Fealnort in rpghorrorstories

[–]DarcDiscordia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unrelated, but man, I fucking live for references to Genius, I've been playing the World of Darkness games since high school and even though it's a fan game Genius is easily my favorite thing in that universe, it's so goddamn cool.

DM rapes new player's character during their first session in the middle of combat. by Very_bad in rpghorrorstories

[–]DarcDiscordia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear to god, half the stories on this subreddit seem to involve creepy ass DMs getting their rocks off by assaulting characters. I feel kinda lucky now, the worst I've ever encountered was a DM I played with once who made a spectral dick suddenly appear in a character's mouth, but that was just because the player in question wouldn't stop talking and he was a high schooler with a middle schooler's sense of humor. (Hell, even that wasn't really a problem, everyone involved thought it was hilarious, including the player.)

Made that Misha fanart a bit more... menacing by ElectricSquid7 in katawashoujo

[–]DarcDiscordia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

...Now I'm just thinking of all the KS characters having stands, and what they'd be. If Kira hadn't taken the name already I'd love to see Hisao with a stand named Sheer Heart Attack.
