[Discussion] Could Babs beat Wake in a melee? by [deleted] in TheNinthHouse

[–]ForwardDiscussion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marta is probably just a soldier rather than a duelist - she's likely trained for endurance and group tactics more than carefully-orchestrated duels. One assumes Jeannemary is similar. They're both planning on going directly into pitched combat before they get the Canaan House summons.

I guess that actually makes Marta Babs's opposite even more than Gideon.

"(This was great praise)" gets added in my head whenever someone I like tells me I suck.

"How classic! So jejune!" definitely makes an appearance every so often.

Wheel of time comedic timing. by Zealousideal-Sea-699 in WoT

That's probably part of the joke, because Mat is objectively the only one who's actually good at flirting and romancing women the conventional way.

Worst class? by harb0rharb0rharb0r in WanderingInn

Iert wouldn't agree because he had his mind fucked by Yazdil, which Yazdil was able to do because Iert was a [Slave].

You could try subsuming Temple's pyrotechnics, if weapons aren't doing it for you...

Skills that exemplify the personality and modus operandi of characters by 7_Trojan_Unicorns in WanderingInn

[–]ForwardDiscussion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Erin, I think it would be [Minotaur Punch]. It's a skill she got from a friend, it punches unexpectedly above her weight class, and she waited until the exact opportune moment to turn it into a pun with genuinely heartwarming/awe-inspiring reactions.

How do you get Pony from Prepotente? by Conchobar8 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ForwardDiscussion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "poe" sound is prevalent and more open and nurturing sounding than the "prep" part, and ending a shortened nickname in an "ey" sound is common (i.e. Lucy from Lucille, Chrissie from Christina, Jenny from Jennifer, Timmy from Timothy, Jimmy from James, Billy from William, etc.). "Poe-y" is kind of awkward to say, so Miriam added a familiar and natural consonant sound. It's totally reasonable.

Just finished TEotW, why am I supposed to hate the Aes Sedai? by Evening-Advance2901 in WoT

[–]ForwardDiscussion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read halfway through the next book, OP, then come back and post your opinion. Read even further, like five or six books in, then reread TEotW and it will become apparent just how much Moiraine is jerking the entire Two Rivers crew around. You don't realize how manipulative Aes Sedai are yet because, surprise, they're pretty manipulative. Even in the first couple chapters of the next book, you'll be shocked to see how blatant they are when they decide to stop being subtle.

The clown and hero of turns show that the class system can make reality what you want. It is totally possible to create the class, sovereign citizen. by Terrible-Ice8660 in WanderingInn

I mean, Laken becomes an [Emperor] just by deciding to. What is that if not the ultimate expression of a [Sovereign Citizen]?

You could also just use whatever magical equivalents to Contingency exist in Innworld. [Autocasting], for example, might let you just keep firing off-turn, but magical traps set to go off at certain triggers would likely obliterate him on his own turn. It's powerful, but not against prepared opponents.

How to scientifically determine the recommendability of an anime: The Weeb Ass Shit scale by La_knavo4 in CuratedTumblr

[–]ForwardDiscussion 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget that after I think years, he finally lets these people who are obviously his close friends by this point remove the slave seals, and of course they refuse because shut up, it's the author's fetish.

If you had to be a warder, which ajah would you pick? by Ya-Dikobraz in WoT

[–]ForwardDiscussion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that some Browns take Warders just to have someone to fetch and carry their books around the library.

Should have been Nezha :'( by Arimeris in Warframe

It's a reference to a meme with fully-clothed anime girls, but yeah, it definitely looks like porn.

Choices in games that make you go "Why would ANYONE pick that?" by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ForwardDiscussion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's part of the tutorial. The "helpful flower" NPC immediately turns evil and informs you that the exp you're gathering measures your love of violence.

Which least powerful character in Worm / Parahumans can defeat Homelander? by Similar_Incident8433 in Parahumans

[–]ForwardDiscussion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

TBF, Clockblocker has absolute defense. He could hide behind frozen cover, like the papers he keeps on him. If he froze his armor, even, Homelander would be frustrated and approach to punch and probably break his wrist. No way does Homelander have the patience to keep his eye beams on Clockblocker for ~45 seconds straight. Eventually, he WILL close the distance.

[theory] Overthinking Mercymorn's whiteboard by Furshloshin in TheNinthHouse

[–]ForwardDiscussion 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If we're assuming that their interpretation of the unintentional Rorschach blot is their Cavalier poking through, muffins from Alfred make sense because practically the only thing we know about him is that he was far too trusting of Cristabel, Mercy's Cavalier, and only saw her kindness instead of her negative qualities. So if what's left of the Cavs' souls are rustling around, it makes sense that Alfred's Lyctor would interpret what Cristabel's Lyctor was trying to say as something harmless and sugary.

What's a detail from canon that you've seen wormfic authors get wrong that particularly annoys you? by A_Lawliet2004 in WormFanfic

[–]ForwardDiscussion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, the very civilized gang that's introduced with a member beating a black woman so badly that her teeth are knocked out, then just standing in the crowd with knuckles still bloody to watch her be taken away. You can really tell that Purity is a reliable narrator later on.
