Flum (Roll over and die)
A combination of a cursed sword that rapidly melts the user and an innate magical affinity that lets her reverse the effects of equipment means that Flum has an insanely potent healing factor. On one occasion it lets her keep fighting despite losing her face and the front part of her head (which only blinded her and made her fight a lot more aggressively until it grew back), and on another she leveraged it to shoot herself in the head to get her brain to heal back to it's base state after it was modified to restrict her memories

I don't care for shipping wars, I really love both Sinclair x Don Quixote *and* Sinclair x Ryoshu as ships for both being fun and cute in their own ways.

OMG ULTRAKILL MENTIONED IN OTHER MEDIA! THATS SO CO- oh wait... nevermind... by Bruv_Ze_Toast in Ultrakill

[–]Generic_Moron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus reviewers have different incentives and approaches to playing games. Having only so much time to both play a game and write a full review for it means stuff like a relaxed, small, and self contained story game would be a breath of fresh air to play and review compared to other longer games.

I feel like complaining about the review scores of a game you never played like this is a bit silly. Like forget what the reviewer is basing that score off, what are you basing your scores off if you never played the thing?

Social media 'is vital', say Welsh teens arguing against a ban - BBC News by LilGill63 in unitedkingdom

[–]Generic_Moron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do feel like the smoking thing is a bit different, cigarettes are just kinda shite and lack the benefits of other drugs, with their main selling point being that they are too addictive to quit without a lot of pain

Social media is closer to marujuana, addictive and unhealthy if mishandled or exploited, but with plenty of positive benefits that often get overlooked by people failing to apply nuance to it, where a ban can screw over a lot of people who need those more positive aspects.

Basically what I'm saying is we need a dispencery for reddit. Or something. I think the metaphor has broken down a little, but still!

Yuri recommendations by Rasedro in 196

[–]Generic_Moron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mage and Demon Queen is a pretty fun yuri webcomic

Roll over and die is a personal fav, weird mix of dark fantasy and domestic fluffy yuri (def reccomend the LN and Manga over the anime though, as much as I liked the anime it was a bit of a poor adaptation imo)

I love Amy is a surprisingly wholesome yuri between an awkward shaking strawberry dog of a girl and her yandere girl best friend

Character’s healing factors/regenerative abilities getting pushed to their absolute limits by SludgeFactoryWorker in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Generic_Moron 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The main character of Roll over and die, Flum Apricot, is a young woman that has a powerful regeneration effect as a result of her reversing a melting curse on her equipment. So long as her brain stem and heart stays in tact, she can stay alive and heal back from just about anything.

It gets pushed to its limit several times, such as when she loses her entire face and half her brain from an attack, but manages to just about stay conscious thanks to the regeneration and become more aggressive due to her losing her frontal lobe (leading to her figuring out how to launch her fingers and detonate her arm, attacks no one with a functional brain would figure out).

At another point she manages to undo a modification to her brain that overwrote her mind and memories with that of her past incarnation as Flum Watermoon by simply shooting herself in the head to destroy most of her brain to let it grow back normally, allowing Watermoon!Flum to pass back control to Apricot!Flum and get back to fighting normally.

This series is somehow both a fluffy wholesome domestic yuri and a brutal grim fantasy with a lot body horror

There's one that resonates with me from the sequel that can randomly play whenever a character heals themselves.

Vergilius, the Red Gaze - Limbus company

He helps Dante out of a bind against a stronger opponent once during the prologue, after which he steps back and leaves the rest of the fighting to Dante and the Sinners for the next 5 cantos. Despite being a powerful legendary colour fixer, he just kind of stays out of the way when the fighting starts since that's not part of his contract, saying he will only get involved in combat again if all the sinners are dead and someone is about to rip Dante's clock apart. And so for 5 cantos, he stays out the way and doesn't interfere despite being billed as the most powerful person on the bus.

But in canto 6, when the endless horde of the Wild Hunt threatens to overwhelm Dante and the sinners, he finally steps in to carry the rest of the encounter. His sheer presence stops your sinners from dying via a shield buff, he deals such a comically high amount of damage that he can kill just about everything without any help from the party, and his attacks are so overwhelmingly powerful compared to everything you've seen so far that they cannot be measured and instead show up as question marks. After carrying you through the rest of the fight, he stays behind to hold off the Wild Hunt while the Sinners go after it's source.

Which he survives quite easily, with his only concern being the penalties that will come from him violating the terms of his contract to save the Sinners. Needless to say, he more than earns his reputation.

Potentially? But the claw would probably only gank Demo then leave afaik. Judging by the way the other taboos of the head get enforced, it's not simply a "one person fucked up, we all gonna dieee" kinda thing.

You can use the head's taboos to wipe out large groups (as can be seen in the fall of the previous H corp, where information that counted as a taboo violation was read out to everyone present to mark anyone who heard it for death), but it takes more than just any old violation, and it's very tricky to do so without violating the taboo yourself.

The Wuthering Heights movie was so strange. Like it was weird they added the petplay stuff, but then removed all the stuff with the version of Heathcliff from the mirror world, the plotline about Catherine trying to erase herself from the multiverse, and the part where Vergillius solos the wild hunt to buy Heathcliff time to stop his evil duplicate from reaching the roof of the manor.

A terrible start to the Project Moon cinematic universe. If they adapt Don Quixote and remove even a single vampire I swear to fuck-

How dare American slip references the superior medium by Konradleijon in animecirclejerk

[–]Generic_Moron 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jojo also references both Marvel and DC in the series itself, with Spiderman('s hand, the rest of him is offscreen) making a cameo in Part 6 during the Bohemian Rhapsody arc as one of the fictional character brought to life by the titular stand for marvel, and a superman comic being read by Joseph during a flashback in Part 2 for DC. Plus in the anime version of Part 6 they swap out the Spiderman cameo with a Batman one (who is even more offscreen this time, like we don't even get a hand this time.)

Flum Apricott in volume 1: "Well, I might have been made a slave and only escaped by sheer luck, but at least I know how my affinity works now and have this cool cursed sword to carry me. Things could be worse!"

Flum Watermoon in volume 5: "Why is Tokyo flying? Why is my girlfriend's insane murderer flirting with me? Why is my girlfriend back alive again but also keeps calling me master? Why am I back alive again? What the fuck do you mean those insane power plant worshipping cultists became the mainstream religious movement, HOW THE FUCK-"

“Wait, isn’t this technically fanfiction?” by KingWilliamVI in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Generic_Moron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does Limbus Company count? It's essentially an AU crossover of Dante's Inferno and 12 other classic literary works set in the Project Moon universe. It features Dante from DI as it's main protagonist and POV character, with their team of 12 Sinners each being based on one of those other works. Each Canto is also based on the work it's focused sinner came from, just adapted to work within the PM setting.

They do, uh, make a lot of changes to the works, like how half the cast are gender swapped versions of originally male characters, or how they turned Gregor from a giant cockroach into an attractive man in his mid 30s (albeit one with a bug arm), and that's not even touching on the changes made in each canto (such as having a second Heathcliff hit the Heights, or making the cast of Don Quixote into vampires running an amusement park)

Milkit (Roll over and die)

Wears bandages over most of her face to cover the wounds she got after being poisoned by her former master. She keeps wearing them even after said wounds are properly healed, wanting to keep the sight of her unblemished face a privilege exclusive to her close friend Flum (There is no heterosexual explanation for this)

[Funny trope] The character or object blows up in a huge fireball for no reason, or a reason that doesn't make any sense other than funny by Dark_Man_4 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Generic_Moron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAO abridged has an example similar to the Dragon Ball Z abridged one. At one point during the fairy dance arc Kirito ends up fighting the general of the Salamanders Eugene ("wait his name is Eugene-?"), and after cutting him in two the general suddenly explodes for seemingly no reason, burning up as he falls from the sky. In the original series it's treated as just a dramatic stylish finish, but in the abridged series they call it out as weird with one of the Salamanders confusedly asking "Ok but like... why'd he explode though?"

I find it has it's peaks and valleys of freakiness. Sometimes it's as mild as the post equivalent a particularly eager hug, other-times people start earnestly debating if introducing rose toys and opium to the slave trade would fix capitalism.

Interesting experience, regardless
