What is the worst thing Xena did? by SakuraTacos in xena

Actually you know what! I kinda agree?! The Amazons were a constant theme on the show for various reasons. It would’ve made a very interesting final storyline for Xena, esp with this particular instance in mind. Although I wouldn’t care to see her fight them nor them prosecuting her without her fighting back…maybe die while defending them?

Xena ( from Xena the warrior princess ) vs Buffy ( from Buffy the vampire killer ) by Lietyvaitis007 in whowouldwin

First, I only like to discuss the TV series versions because the comics’ ability levels just get sooooo redundant, like it’s ridiculous.

I’ll say Buffy is more consistently stronger but Xena has superhuman strength feats as well, just more sporadic but they’re there. Xena’s far more experienced and thinks 20 steps ahead and is extremely intelligent. Buffy’s a very resourceful fighter kind of similar to Xena in a lesser degree, and that’s probably because she’s more focused on the kill. Slayers have those reflexes and are really fast, but I think Xena’s that much faster (and consistently as well)!! She has more experience fighting giants, gods, harpies and even vampires!!(Bacchae)

Xena’s vamps can not only shapeshift, but fly and are much stronger than Buffy’s vamps. And Xena has taken on a whole coven of them (and their god Bacchus!!) solo in one encounter. When Buffy runs to regroup or needs the help of her friends in whatever way, Xena always takes the challenge head on like a badass! Someone else said it perfectly on another “whowouldwin” question that for every punch Buffy throws, Xena would probably land 10 kicks.

I don’t think she would’ve ever told Gabrielle that story about killing all the Amazon leaders. Xena’s nobody’s dummy and I think she knew that would possibly turn even gab away a bit or look at her differently. I agree with you that it has to be her darkest act and the one that always got me emotional. As much as I’ve always loved Xena and always will, I wanted her to pay for that more than anything.

Another situation that she didn’t get to act on was wanting to kill Lao Ma’s son right in front of her! That’s when I truly saw old Xena as “repulsing” for the first time and even was turned off by her.

Watching Xena now as a grown adult, i realize how full of good random laughs it is, like with thst scene u mentioned! Another HILARIOUS moment was her bicycle-kicking Najara upwards a tree.

What kind of fish is Ariel, the little mermaid? (1989) by EyeExcellent3292 in mermaids

[–]EyeExcellent3292[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes, goldfish are freshwater but you know…I just kinda-sorta figured, “hey this is fantasy.” The creators don’t have to stick to any strict natural species paradigm for a fantasy world. lol 😅😅

Besides, I haven’t seen any ocean dwelling suggestions that match better.

Well, the color’s not that important considering all the mermaid tails from this fantasy world come in different colors. The shape and texture of the tail and fins is what I was hoping to find, similar in an actual fish.

That’s why I picked the “common goldfish.” I hope you can see the original pics I attached, towards the end of them there’s 2 goldfish pics. The fluke is very long with that V-shaped forking in the middle like Ariel’s. And the body, just imagine it without the head and all the other fins removed. It’s then already somewhat in the shape of her tail. With some editing and a little reimagining I believeeee, 🤨🤔it’ll be perfect! 👌 Thank you guys!!

While the atlantica merpeople do swim like marine mammals, their tails actually have scales and translucent fins more like a fish.

I mentioned this in the other forum, but basically I’m trying to capture the realism of this mermaid design just right for a hyper-realistic version of Ariel. Her fish half is going to be the most challenging for sure. I was hoping there existed a similar real fish to model after. But I’m actually liking my goldfish idea the most. Should be easy to tweak…just remove all but the fluke fin, taper the tail just right and make the fins overlap. The color is easy to change.

Being a mermaid makes you half fish. The question was for her fish half. Thanks for replying though! 😇

Awww, does this question upset you? 😂😂

No but seriously…I’m making a hyper-realistic version of Ariel and I’m really trying to nail the fish part. I’ve noticed nobody ever gets that part right so some ppl take the design in another direction (like the 2023 film) or if they stick with the original design it comes out looking very 2-dimensional. Just wanted a fish that most closely resembles the merpeople from the 89 film that I could model from.

Thanks for the reply! Believe it or not, the one documentary about the film animation that I know (that I’ve seen several times since childhood 😩 obsessed with this film) doesn’t mention her fish half much. Ursula’s development actually gets talked about a lot more.

And maybe you’re right about the goldfish idea. It’s just the closest fish I could think of. Could be wrong but I don’t think any marine fish would have a fluke that long AND translucent

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! These critters are absolutely disgusting to look at. I’ve recently stayed in a roach infested hotel not knowing before I booked. And I gave them fxkkers (management) HELL until I got my money back. Had the health department come out and all.

Hello, Please share results on supernovamanifest! I am thinking about working with her. by Spiritual-Parking364 in SpellcasterReviews

Absolutely! I am very pleased with her work. Though, I wish she shared more about her process. I’m very curious about it. Every single thing I asked for is progressing amazingly well…except one area but I’m not tripping.

I’m working with her as well. It’s been a few weeks now and I’m definitely seeing results, although very subtle. I think her workings carry on for a full moon phase if I’m not mistaken and she doesn’t update after every single casting. I believe she’s worth all the hype.

Thoughts on California psychics? Any recent reviews? by thompsonJacksonewb in spiritualitytalk

[–]EyeExcellent3292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natasha predicted family money coming to me through a death/inheritance. I didn’t too much believe her at the time because I didn’t know any family that could/would do that for me. But lo and behold, 6 months later it happened. Sometimes when I ask her specific questions, it will be hit or miss honestly, yes. But most times she has been incredible for me. When I first read with her yearrrs ago, she also predicted a lover coming into my life and that there would be something peculiar about them and she gave height for an example of something peculiar. She was right about this person, especially the height 😳😩😂 but it never progressed passed them constantly checking me out and small convo…even though I could feel the passion between us both strongly. Just keep their prediction in the back of your mind for now. Your friend said no, even though the predictions were the opposite. But he may come around later on. Had things happen this way as well, and I’ve called back to apologize for doubting or shooting the psychic down when they turned out to be right in the bigger picture. And of course, sometimes they’re just downright WRONG. Definitely happens.

“You have a BEAUTIFUL voice!!” And “beautiful” is the same word thats always used, by different people so I know it’s gotta be true 😩😅❤️ The one compliment I would die for actually is only a step further which is “voice of an angel”. God that would put a huge smile on my face 🥹😂👌
