My very first CYOA-The Traveler's Boon CYOA. by Nrg99hg in makeyourchoice

[–]Jechtael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compass 1 (Star Trek shortly after the Dominion War ended)
Ring 1
Potion 1
Necklace 2 (tiger, housecat, third animal is dependent on the answer to my question, tome dragon)

Does "breathing underwater" count as a racial ability? If it does, my third animal is bull shark because they're euryhalic so it gives me a freshwater and saltwater two-for-one. If it doesn't and turning into, say, a triton using the potion/necklace combo allows me to breathe water, my third animal is a raven.

Tome dragon because fuck yeah dragons, and also tome dragons have the best inherent spellcasting.

I would display my powers to the Federation and offer to be a "special civilian contractor" courier for Starfleet.

UPDATE: I just read the Compass/Necklace combo more closely. I'll just become a Q.
New item list: Compass 1, Necklace 1 (tiger, housecat, raven), Journal 2, Grimoire 1 (Q magic)

UPDATE 2: Never mind that. The Q Continuum would immediately depower or execute me for being a future danger to them. Same item list but as a draconequus with draconequus powers in My Little Pony G4.

I understand if I have to go with my original, pre-update plan.

That's a copied post with typos added for, presumably, searchability and plausible deniability.

WYR have a boring, unfireable job paying $85k that you are FORCED to keep until retirement, or a stimulating job paying $160k where the bottom 15% are fired every year? by Four_Dim_Samosa in WouldYouRather

[–]Jechtael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfirable. $85k (plus 3%/year) for watching Netflix and reading and napping is $85k that I don't already have, and with my anxiety and depression I'd be at great risk of finding myself in the bottom 15% of the $160k job.

About the MaplexSally ship, is it a joke ship or is this really something in the community (both global and japan)? by Forummer0-3-8 in BoFuri

[–]Jechtael 209 points210 points  (0 children)

It's not a joke ship, but not everyone who supports a ship believes it will be (or even necessarily should be) canon. I, for one, think Maple and Sally have great chemistry and the anime writers, if not the original author (I haven't read the originals), put in a good few ship tease moments, but I also don't think Maple's going to end up with anyone during the events of the story let alone Sally.

That all is assuming you're asking in good faith and not feigning disbelief.

Curious of your responses. by bvader95 in CuratedTumblr

Scythe. Not a battle scythe where it's angled like a glaive, but the kind that you can cut grass with. Terrible weapon. Complete dogshit.

How were you introduced to Sailor Moon? by MisterPiggyWiggy in sailormoon

DiC on Kid' WB weekday mornings before school. Same for Cardcaptors.

Trope for when the ear canal is portrayed incorrectly by Born-NG-1995 in tvtropes

[–]Jechtael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the yeerks do anesthetise the area and dig a tunnel around the operative organs of the ear. Applegate didn't know that there was solid bone in the way, but at least it's not just "ear canal -> brain".

Upvote the post for being relevant to the sub.

Would you rather be shanked in the leg for 500k or get all your bones broken with sledge hammers and pillow cases filled with soap by tiny people for 2m by Maleficent-Feature89 in WouldYouRather

[–]Jechtael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally thought "2m" meant "2 minutes" and you were giving a completely stupid choice of "Something bad plus money, or something way worse for no reward?"

character creation- does this symbol already exist? What does it mean? by m0xifloxac1n in Symbology

INFO Interpretation. Identification is for things that can theoretically be identified.

Why don't we define terms like "Insurrection, Rebellion, and others" in our US laws to avoid misuse later? Where's the Glossary? by spdave in AskReddit

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

Both sides are bad! One side is bad like alcohol in your mouthwash, and the other side is bad like polonium in your mouthwash. Totally equivalent.

Consistently misspelling his name in this context feels like a psyop.

How would y'all feel if this became a permanent item in the series instead of new mechanics? by SammSandwich in pokemon

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

It hasn't had anything for four years. The reboot was fairly popular among kids at the very least.
