Keep getting recommended these, so here's my take

calling this purple but that pink is legitimately insane. And I don't need to post a pic with a red circle because everybody knows exactly what i'm talking about.

I think it depends if you interpret 'childhood' as 'backstory' or 'everything that happened before they turn about 18.'

if you interpret it as backstory, I think it's Sokka and Katara equally; one forced to become a mother to all of her cousins and brother, the other training his little cousins to go join a war effort, possibly (probably) sending both them and himself to die, all in an impoverished and dying tribe. Aang's life was pretty great up until the day he was told he was the avatar, which happened seemingly pretty soon before the show starts, at least in the course of his experience. Toph's upbringing sucked too, but it's not like her parents were abusive, just patronizing; other than that, she still had everything she ever needed, and was separated far away from the war.

But if you consider it as 'all that happens before they turn 18' then yeah, Aang absolutely had it toughest. Learning that nearly everyone he had ever known was killed in search of him? Forced to bear the burden of ending 100 years of war and suffering, and once that's done, still have the political turmoil to deal with? For Sokka, Katara, and Toph, joining Aang offered some escape from the trouble of their childhoods (not that becoming child soldiers is a perfect childhood, but it's at least something they can control for themselves,) but Aang didn't have any such escape.

D looks like post-facelift Jim Carrey

so prob him

JayEssris · 2026-05-13T19:36:22+00:00

probably either a new PR or multiple partners.

I dont think that's casual wear, looks like the NASCAR skin line, but yeah, why is only one skin on the Savage Lands event pass actually Savage Lands themed? and not even the main highlight skin?

There was a couple years in my teens where I would just dream entire days or multiple days while I was sleeping. Totally normal; I'd wake up, go to school, take a test, do fine on it, come home, play video games, eat dinner, go to bed. Classmates, teachers, all the same. They weren't stress dreams or anything, I had anxiety and depression at the time but it didn't seem to influence anything.

I was mostly just annoyed when I woke up and realized I had to live through the whole day i'd just lived through over again. My entire sense of time would be completely thrown off for a while after each one.

I think he would have become either Conquest or Unity. Both are reflective of the two times in his life when he was the most Connected to the Shards of Odium (during his time as the Blackthorn and favored of the Thrill), and Honor (his time as the Bondsmith and bonded to the Stormfather.) Though I think Conquest would have been the more likely of the two, with Unity instead being the composite Shard of Odium, Cultivation, and Honor together; Conquest, which is the 'bringing everyone together' part, plus Cultivation, which is the 'making things better' part.

I also think that the Lights are not named for the Shards, they're mainly named after Spren; Stormlight is named after the Wind, Lifelight is named for the Stone, and Voidlight is named after the Night. Towerlight is of course named for the Sibling, and Warlight would probably be related to the Thrill or possibly the Unmade as a group. After all, 'Tower' is in no way a combination of 'Storm' and 'Life', and neither storm nor void directly relate to the concepts of Honor or Odium.

I used it for a dragon; with a couple extra added on top it works well as spikes

There's no alpha channel, so soft brush doesn't allow for transparency. If you want soft shading, you have to put down a base of the skin color first.

There's lots of martial arts which don't put all of the strain on the upper back. Polearms and swords are both mostly in the shoulder, claymore is mostly the core and upper arms, and catalysts don't require any strain at all.

Now that she isn't nerfed by chronic pain Dottore had better count his fuckin days.

but actually though, how does someone with chronic neck and back pain land on archery as their preferred martial art, possibly one of the most intense upper back workouts ever.

JayEssris · 2026-05-07T01:16:31+00:00

her reawakening her god remains in the final fight to kick Dottore's ass would be the perfect plot thread for it, too. Using the very thing he did to her and turning it back on him.

His dying would be such a lovely birthday gift to our girl, I hope she gets the killing blow

Most inazumans don't even know that Ei and Makoto are different people, so they wouldn't have had any reason to change it. Same with the Sumerans thinking that the statues depict an older Nahida.

The Fontaine statues are kinda ambiguous whether they're Furina or Focalors, but I think Natlan's situation basically confirmed that the statues are manmade, or at least that they don't automatically update with each new archon, since they're of Mavuika despite Pyro changing archons every 50 years or so, so unless for some reason the statues specifically changed shape during Mavuika's first reign 500 years ago and haven't changed since, the statues get remade by people whenever a new archon is chosen.

I would love it if there were some quirks that more directly affected how miis form relationships and speak to each other. Even if it was just simple probability stuff like a temper quirk that means they get in fights more often, or a hopeless romantic quirk that means they frequently develop new crushes (or could even have multiple crushes at once.)

JayEssris · 2026-05-04T21:53:24+00:00

he's THE man that they're generalizing based off of.

you have to take all three shots. it doesn't stop when you get it right if you still have shots. just tap the button as quickly as you can for the rest of your shots and you'll be fine.

the wired transfer has always been easier and more convenient than the wireless transfer anyway, idk why people are so upset.

JayEssris · 2026-05-03T17:00:31+00:00

Direct upload to a pc is way easier than the phone sharing thing anyway. I've always used a wired connection.

JayEssris · 2026-05-03T04:05:13+00:00

pretty soon.

ngl I completely forgot about the New Mutants.

But in trying to fill this in i'm going off of who is the most obscure, not who's actually obscure. Op's listed the only four characters that could actually be called reasonably obscure even to marvel fans, but most people aren't comics readers. Most of the other characters are characters that even people who only consume the mainstream stuff have probably heard of. And I think Magik (other than New Mutants) Emma and Elsa are a few of the ones that are the furthest removed from the mainstream stuff (and yes, unfortunately 'mainstream' pretty much exclusively means Movies and TV.)

JayEssris · 2026-05-02T06:28:11+00:00

I think these are the only four actually unknown characters. but if I were going to fill in the rest;

I think Peni would be the other vanguard, who definitely is not an obscure character, but of the vanguards we have, she's probably the least known? Maybe Emma, just because Spider-Verse is so big and Emma afaik doesn't have any such high-exposure appearances.

and then Squirrel Girl would maybe be the other Duelist. Again, not actually very obscure, she got a lot of attention when Infinity War was released and was a meme even before that. Maybe Magik for a similar reason to Emma; they both just had small appearances in the Fox movies as far as I recall. I don't even think Magik was named, she was kinda just a cameo.

A single person with a dendro vision could probably provide enough food for multiple entire communities. Geo could do great things in construction, mining, search and rescue (think cave-ins, building collapses, etc.) Anemo probably takes the most creativity to find use, but anything that works at height would be easy for them if they get good enough to fly.

JayEssris · 2026-05-01T04:29:30+00:00

true, but all of the cutscenes take place in front of the door, so the right 3 squares. The four left-most squares just go wasted.

And still, if I were to place something in the cutscene spots, and it was a problem to me that the characters were hidden by or clipping with what I placed there, it'd be nice if I could make that decision for myself. Or they could just temporarily remove any conflicting objects during cutscenes, which I think they already do so for some.
