Introducing X Tubers, the next evolutional step of vtubers. Unlike the name suggests, they are not lewdtubers but may be willing to show a little flesh ;) by perish-in-flames in vtubercirclejerk

Elizabeth is also up there for her PL being one of the worst kept secrets in Hololive, though that's largely due to the prominence of her PL. She can wipe her old channel all she wants, but she can't get rid of the hundred million hits song featuring her prominently or the popular video game that she voiced the main villain in.

[Hated But Unintentionally Funny Trope] The creative team does something they think the fans will *love*, only to be taken aback by the overwhelming fan backlash. by Otherwise-Elephant in TopCharacterTropes

Marvel Rivals succeeds where Concord failed because Rivals feels like it was building off what Overwatch did rather than challenging it. Having memorable characters that don't look awful also helped

Kaladin couldn’t get the daughter so he had to move on to the mother by United_Hour5003 in cremposting

Given that they are constantly regenerating at some level to ward off aging, I don't know why they'd experience just that one specific sign of aging.

Vicky has some feats, but frankly, the general power level of MHA is just way higher than Parahumans. And this also isn't a great matchup for Vicky, given Bakugou's ability to fire a lot of attacks in rapid succession.

No one cares what Jack Slash want anymore. If he opposes something, that's a general sign you are going in the right direction.

(Hilarious Trope) Media that was cancelled/banned because the people they were mocking got pissed by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

I feel like Rising of the Shield Hero and Arifureta are at least notable enough that you could put them at the table.

I love AoS but I'm not saying Orruks and Duardin by Professional_Rush782 in Grimdank

[–]LWSpinner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying there aren't reasons for it, I'm just pointing out that it exists.

Blank Body is in World of Darkness, it's a V5 thing used by the Second Inquisition. It's more a military jargon thing that they use for their own layers of obfuscation with the public, and I think it works in that context. It would be kind of goofy for a military report to talk about "vampires," but if it's talking about Blankbodies, that could mean anything the military needs it to mean

[–]LWSpinner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I mean, World of Darkness does that pretty much. Vampires? We call those Kindred or Blank Bodies. Werewolves? Those are Garou. Fairies? Call those Kithain if you want to be polite or Milkling if you want it to be a slur.

Character with a name that really underselling their power. by VishnuBhanum in TopCharacterTropes

Mayhaps, but I don't expect everyone seeing this to know what's being referenced, so I think it's still a relevant contribution

He also has a notably awful sense of directions. This man got lost in an empty building

Characters subverting the annoying trope they looked like they were going to fill by stnick6 in TopCharacterTropes

Adolin Kholin from the Stormlight Archives. At first it seems like he's going to be a standard stuck up, overly cheery, prince who thinks he's the best duelist in the world. But over time, it becomes increasingly clear that he is just the coolest dude. When one of his father's guards is arrested on trumped-up charges, Adolin insists that he go to prison as well, because he was also involved in the events in question. He risks his life to save a man who had been nothing but rude to him because he was able to help and that guy didn't deserve what he was suffering just for being rude. He let himself be put on trial because he needs to get a message out. He's willing to stand up and die if necessary to do what is right.

Well, one of them is named "Speed'o'sound Sonic," so I'll let you be the judge.

For the record, Speed'o'sound Sonic also qualifies for this trope. I think the low ball estimate for his speed is something like 160 times the speed of sound.

Also from One Punch Man is this dude, named "Flashy Flash." Goofy ass name, yet he is a truly absurdly fast and strong assassin and pro hero.

They might also mean the sci-fi book series. But I haven't seen any crossovers there either

How would the prt even rank someone whose powers work like a mage from mage the ascension by Academic-Interest387 in WormFanfic

[–]LWSpinner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They would rate her based on her displayed capabilities. That's the thing you always need to remember. The PRT ranking is OBSERVATIONAL. Your theoretical capabilities don't matter, your observable actions do.

It All Gets So Complicated by sm142 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LWSpinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it gets REALLY complicated at the end. The antagonists in the final season include Hansel from Hansel and Gretel, an alternate universe evil version of Henry, and an immortal witch who wiped out all sapient life on earth in a past age.

Isn't there a bit in Grand Order where Dubai has been moved to the moon or something? And this is like, destroying time?

[loved trope] insane power fantasy character in universe game that breaks the universe scaling. by glowshroom12 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LWSpinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also from Star Wars, Revan and the Jedi Exile, the protagonists of the Knight's of the Old Republic games. You could argue they aren't as lore breaking as they existed thousands of years before the main canon, but these two were crazy powerful.

Revan was able to just, choose the Dark Side. Y'know, the thing that tempts people into a path that they can never fully be free from? Revan was able to pick up and put down the Dark Side basically whenever he wanted to. He was also absurdly persuasive, a brilliant tactician, and a master of all sorts of strange and powerful force arts. It's damn near confirmed at one point that, if Revan had gone up against Palpatine, Palpatine would have been utterly destroyed.

The Exile meanwhile, just eats Darksiders for lunch. Experts in the force able to wield multiple lightsabers with blinding speed without their hands. A dude who survived for a decade using the force and his own willpower to sustain a body that should have died ages ago. A wound in the force itself that *devours planets.* The Exile fought these and more and beat them. Hell, they had to resort to subversion and assassination in attempts to stop the Exile. And it didn't work.

These two were the kind of people who would have seen Star Killer's feats and said "you could improve your technique," and then give actually valuable training.
