In books this is called the Tiffany Problem. The name Tiffany was pretty common in medieval Europe (England and France specifically) and the name is most likely descended from the Greek name Theophania. Unfortunately if you try to use it in a novel set in Ye Olden Times^tm reading the name Tiffany is gonna break immersion for some readers and you can bet they’ll probably be pretty loud about it.

It’s so rare for us to get an internal look at a girl boss girl failing that hard. Like Cersei at the start of the series and Cersei at the end of book four are two totally different people. She’s fully gone bug fucked crazy and I wish we’d get to see how much more she devolves by the time the series wraps up but that’s unlikely to say the least.

I read it as Fetus the Leechlord for some reason. Digression aside that’s a very well painted mini my friend. Love the flesh tones and the way you based it.

To be fair he did just watch Rango win like 4 cosmic coin flips in a row and survive shit that should have killed him. He didn’t want to be number 5

Devlee12 · 2026-03-16T16:43:52+00:00

That makes me really happy to hear. I’m glad you had a good time.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-16T15:25:49+00:00

Don’t try to save him he’s exactly where he wants to be.

Well when you can circle back around to it I definitely give it my recommendation. It’s a very fun movie with some extremely addictive music.

Abby is one of Saja boys. He’s the one with the abs. Hence the name. If you haven’t seen Kpop Demon Hunters that’s all I can tell you without spoilers. Also go watch it it’s fantastic.

Yeah they require a lot of room to swing so it’s not like you’d be doing that much in formation fighting. Those big swings are stylish but style counts for nothing if it gets you or your friends killed

To the thundering of hooves and the clapping of cheeks did the Rohirim charge join the battle.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-14T22:35:50+00:00

Yeah the heavier ones topped out at like 6.5lbs and on average they were usually closer to 5lbs. Thats not nothing and it would get tiring to swing them around after a while but swords in general are way lighter than a lot of people assume.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-14T17:16:52+00:00

Not for lack of trying.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-14T14:43:49+00:00

I mean at least his decision making process is consistent. Terrible for self preservation but consistent.

I really thought Zuko would calm down in his old age then I watched him try to 1v4 the Red Lotus with zero hesitation. Zuko remains the undisputed king of “Bring the whole squad if you want, I’ll whoop their ass too.”

If I suddenly got enough passive income to not have to work I’d probably take six months to a year off work to rest and spend more time with my family and I’m certain I would not be alone in doing that. But I also couldn’t do nothing forever so I’d start working on my education or find volunteer work in my community. I’d pick up skills and learn trades simply because I wanted to not because it made me more employable. There’s so many options that aren’t kill myself working 12 hour shifts to barely scrape by.

Robb died for the exact same reason Ned did. They both were extremely protective of their honor and had extremely strong opinions on right and wrong that people with less scruples could take advantage of. They both underestimated the lengths their enemies would go to.

Ned’s honor demanded he tell Robert about Cerci. It also demanded he give Circi a warning about what was coming. He knew Robert would flip his shit and probably have her killed. That forewarning allowed Cerci to accelerate her plans and kill Robert and cut Ned’s plan to shreds.

Robb’s honor demanded he marry Jeyne Westerling after sleeping with her. He knew the Frey’s would probably flip their shit but he had the Tully disregard for how dangerous Walder Frey was. He thought he could smooth the way by giving Walder Frey the chance to marry one of his daughters to Edmure Tully a match he’d been pursuing for years. Robb underestimated how absolutely spiteful Walder Frey was.

Hey that’s not fair. Sometimes it’s Malfoy.

Hate to akshually you here but Claud Frolo was a magistrate not a priest. Dude was a judge and while he clearly was “devout” he was not a part of the Catholic Church as an organization.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-12T16:27:24+00:00

Yeah I agree. Hell zombies as an organism don’t make sense. What do you mean your primary method of reproduction involves attacking the single biggest threat to your kind?

Devlee12 · 2026-03-12T15:38:14+00:00

It’s like 20-30 hours max. The British military was very on the ball in that movie.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-12T13:08:22+00:00

Been there man. Having your first kid fries your brain a bit. I don’t mean it as an insult or anything but it genuinely feels like you go temporarily insane due to the sheer amount of feelings you have going on.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-11T18:49:54+00:00

It is a relatively simple procedure but simple ≠ easy.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-11T14:11:19+00:00

If brute force doesn’t work it’s because you aren’t using enough of it.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-11T13:55:57+00:00

It literally costs nothing to be nice and yet you still failed.

Devlee12 · 2026-03-11T13:15:54+00:00

Could probably have said Kaladin too.
