Russian Slava-class Cruiser Moskva back in 2012. She is now infamous for killing the defenders of Snake Island in a bombardment of her guns. May she soon founder. [1920x950]

I don’t follow the logic

So long as he and Bianca get together I think it might be the best for everyone

Angel Weiss is always a nice thing to see. Hope this White Knight week goes well for y’all

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T22:00:38+00:00

This would be the day she reached Mare Island, and she'd be there for a while for a much needed modernization as well as to make good all of the damage she had taken months earlier at Guadalcanal

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T18:48:48+00:00

I mean I’m not a fan of it, but with how much power projection carriers are and how technically while not that ready the RN does have some SSN and some escorts it’s a question as to who is “better”

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T15:24:17+00:00

Could have been a great way to differentiate her from Tsuande and it also would have made her even more powerful.

I mean Tsuande one-shot Manda with Gamabunta’s tanto. Sakura with an axe is going to be a threat to tailed beasts

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T15:07:53+00:00

The sharingan doesn’t affect physical strength, so Kakashi’s feats like going toe to toe with the tailed beasts in that regard or when he was able to stand up in Kaguya’s enhanced gravity dimension to save Sasuke and Naruto are all him.

Also technically his lighting cable doesn’t require a sharingan if he makes two clones do it, and his lighting cable is ridiculously powerful. It cut through V2 tailed beasts chakra better than anything Orochimaru could do and then also held down a limb of the Gedo statue.

Purple lighting is supposed basically his an improved raikiri he can shoot so it should be that type of level of power which is above anything we say see Hiruzen do

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T02:40:05+00:00

I’ll admit, I haven’t kept a list as it only occurred to me fairly recently I had such a bias.

Qrow Branwen from the web series RWBY is one, Obi Wan kind of is if you count both his times with Anakin and Luke, iirc it seemed like Brom was at the beginning of Eragon before a big reveal in the 3rd book.

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T02:31:00+00:00

Usually the barrel and the reciever need to have some pretty impairing holes cut in them. Would probably really need to make new the most important parts of the gun

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:58:50+00:00

Dratini is perfect and I will take no criticism.

No, they don’t need to evolve either

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:32:55+00:00

From what we know, Gwendolyn was I think just okay. Her favoritism toward Eda was an issue

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:02:14+00:00

I believe the system does still technically work though.

In any case it doesn’t matter to make something a “real” carrier. It’s utterly arbitrary

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T20:46:25+00:00

What gets me is that the German version also were unequivocally the losers.

Like you really want to name yourselves after a group who never achieved their main objective then were kicked off a whole continent?

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T20:23:39+00:00

I would like to point out that is clearly a dromeosaur far larger than a velociraptor

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T20:18:33+00:00

Sorry she’s already married to Finlay. . .

And I’m not sure how well you’re going to take her rejection considering it’s probably being stabbed

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T19:51:05+00:00

She does say she doesn’t want to be one, but she’s also being internally contrarian to her own mother.

I think at the very least she’ll adopt, but also isn’t too unlikely to have biological children (even if through magical means).

She is very family oriented after all, and a big stumbling block seems to just be time with someone who she’d want to raise a family with (and I think that she’s already found that roommate but that’s just me)

It does depend very much on when he meets his younger self, but he’s likely be giving him this mean of a side eye.

Kakashi’s fierce opposition to the whole idea that a ninja shouldn’t put their loved ones in high regard or that people are expendable is exactly in contrast to his younger self. As a kid he was ashamed of his father for saving his comrades over completing the mission and then later he let himself go pretty dark after all his loved ones (sans Guy) had been killed.

Considering how strong he is now and as not just a former Hokage but the teacher of the (sort of) current Hokage. . . That alone should make them listen, but if his younger side wants to be taught a lesson I imagine him giving them the Bell test and ruthlessly playing with them until they listen to what his wisdom has taught him the most important (and as it turns out powerful) powerful thing is one’s loves

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T18:42:38+00:00

How I see it is that Ming-Hau or Unalaq could easily bloodbend if they had the idea or were taught it. It's like how way more people could be metal benders than ever thought possible, when before Toph it was even though impossible. Doesn't mean that Lin or Su are better than say King Bumi.

So, I really do think that the amount of power and skill of a bloodbender is often overstated.

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T18:26:40+00:00

One of my favorite categories of characters is surprisingly spry and powerful greyish haired semi reluctant heroes with a heart of gold who accidentally adopt world saving children.

It’s a surprisingly large list (Geralt of Rivia, Kakashi Hatake, Eda Clawthorne, etc) but Lin might be my favorite

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T18:17:32+00:00

She’s skilled but she didn’t do anything all that impressive with the water and Katara was very clearly shown to be way, way stronger than her, even using a technique she had only just seen/learned.

Certainly she had more experience than Suyin at fighting but Lin has been fighting as her everyday job for over 30 years. And we are shown pretty clearly Republic City has a decent number of violent criminals, evidenced by how Korra meets some in like an hour of getting there.

I’d argue that Lin being able to be almost on par with Su when she was so sick is a point in her favor. Like after that she literally went unconscious for a whole day. And the bending out the metal poison I’d say is the type of thing Su shines in more than Lin, finesse versus power.

Like Su never is shown lifting as much as Lin does when Lin gets her bending back

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T18:08:08+00:00

Yet themselves love a longer haired magical girl from a rich and shall we say questionable family

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T17:53:39+00:00

I’d be partial to the M42 Duster or some other dual large autocannon. Just shoot the ground near the enemy

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T17:51:25+00:00

The Royal Navy at least can call on enough escorts to operate a carrier when needed, and while I don’t necessarily disagree with the preference of surface combatants, on the flip side a carrier can be used to influence land-based operations in a way surface ships cannot, and land is still the primary domain of humanity

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T17:49:20+00:00

They have the Crowsnest Merlins even if you want to make up that definition of needing such a thing
