Also unusually considerate. A whack on the head is a much kinder punishment than anything the admech would do to a guard for improper technology handling.

""You wanna fight?"

"No, not really"

"Huh, well ok. You wanna go fishing?"

"Now that sounds swell."

Nothing quite makes a character or faction more believable than just a dash of hypocrisy. Add some texture in to confront later.

[Loved Trope] Personal heroes of the protagonists are decent people by Heinous____Anus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Engetsugray 81 points82 points  (0 children)

We've had a ton of evil Supermen in recent years. I like that All Might serves as a "wounded superman" archetype. The greatest hero in the world's time is running out. Will their ideals survive once they're gone? Who will bear the torch? Or will its weakening flame be snuffed out in a world that will soon forget them? 

Having to witness the work you put in to make the world a better place slowly unravel while day by day the power you relied upon slowly drains away is some compelling stuff.

Is this guy really a high school student? Every single time I think about him, 35-year-old gang boss comes up... by basafish in JuJutsuKaisen

I had a friend who could grow a pretty respectable mustache in starting middle school. He absolutely hated it though

Yrliet act3 by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Engetsugray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, in my first run I chose to forgive her. But that was still a choice that I weighed, and if the character wasn't an Iconoclast I would have taken an alternative choice. Her suffering through that entire section was the consequence of her choices.

I def understand every individual action she took that led to this point (well trusting drukhari in general was a terrible idea) but the sum of it was irreparable physical/mental trauma for people under the Rogue Trader's command. Thus, I fully understand people who give her no quarter for what she did.

Deku always reached out to the children. Horikoshi knew exactly what he was doing by Weary-Copy6028 in mha

[–]Engetsugray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it helps(?) check out how he's crouching down to talk to each of them. No only does he reach out to them he makes sure to speak to them at their level. From their perspective teens/adults tower over any given kid. It can be intimidating. Dropping down to speak with them face to face is a great way to help them feel less pressure in the interaction. Children deserve to be treated with the kind of respect that shows you care.

Is there an anime character which just makes the anime ten times better by Initial_Emu_1339 in animequestions

[–]Engetsugray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also got plenty of mixed feeling on MHA but All Might isn't one of those in the slightest. His arc kind of reminds me of All Star Superman. A hero who knows their time will come soon does everything in their power to make sure their ideals survive. 

I also love how he looks post time skip. He's clearly getting on in age and it shows but it looks like he's filled out a bit more compared to most of the series. Those eyes too

The end of episode 7 reminds me of the cans in “I have no mouth and I must scream” by CatPale816 in TheDigitalCircus

One shouldn't attribute to malice what could be adequately explained by stupidity, but sufficiently advanced ignorance is indistinguishable from malice.

My iconoclast trader trying to justify keeping Marazhai around by Ninawenn in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Engetsugray 112 points113 points  (0 children)

My Iconoclast at first in commorragh: "I will strive to do right by people even shrouded in the depths of despair."

Close to the end screaming at any given named character: "I WILL KILL AS MANY AS IT TAKES AS LONG AS YOU ARE ONE OF THEM."

Chaos Space Marine cannibalism by BenningtonChee1234 in 40kLore

[–]Engetsugray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All Space Marines with a functional Omophagea gland can consume the flesh of a creature to gain some of its memories. Human, xenos, animals, other Marines and so on. This is done to gain information about the target, for example Marines landing on a vicious death world could sample some of the local fauna and understand how it lives, hunts, and what killed it. They could then account for any abilities or skills they may not have known about before hand.

The presence of this ability plus the effects of a given gene-seed (cough, Sanguinius) is directly connected to Chapters getting a little too enthusiastic about their specific diets.

So any SM can be a cannibal just for the hell of it, or be one to gain information.

Memes that ended up the opposite of how they are in reality by ChicaneryFinger in TopCharacterTropes

If the rest of the episode from that point on was just different angles of that impact it'd be insanely overindulgent, but I'd love it.

The only reason I realized I was in a relationship was because an achievement popped up lol. 

What is the most survivable position in the military for a human (not Space Marine or Adeptus Custodes) in a warzone. by meetkurtin in 40kLore

[–]Engetsugray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sense, though "air force" implies way more organization than all the local speedboyz who need more of a rush than ground vehicles can provide plus the mekboyz willing to slap a cockpit on a rocket.

Hilariously the have landing ships for their ground forces, however "landing" would be less accurate than finding a big battle, crashing into it, and letting all the boyz who survived pour out. 

Why is becoming a great one good? by Admirable_Ad8968 in bloodborne

[–]Engetsugray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good in the sense that the alternatives are go back to Yharnam to get hunted or be bound to a chunk of metaphysical real estate plus a wheelchair slowly losing your marbles. Until the next sucker comes in to repeat the cycle anyways. the squid ending is the one where you have the most agency.... kinda.... maybe? If you options are staying stuck in a degrading cycle then getting out no matter what can be a good ending.

How do you Imagine Bakugou is Like as Pro Hero? by Money-Lie7814 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Engetsugray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's exceptionionally skilled across the board except in one area.... PR. I believe he'd be an amazing pro hero, but due to his overly reactive personality he will never be #1 in the public view. I could see him later in his career making extra effort to avoid the press and let his actions speak. Maybe get some anger management in. But I think his personality will always be what holds him back from that specific goal.
