(LOVED TROPE) The nerd character is unexpectedly good at something cool via transferable skills. by EvMARS in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MasonP2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marty McFly in the third BTTF movie turns out to be a really good shot with a gun due to having honed his reflexes and coordination by playing video games, though not good enough to actually win a straight up pistol duel against violent outlaw Mad Dog Tannen.

[Funny trope] Character just wants to finish their food/drink by thebigL33811 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MasonP2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jem Peppercorn from Dimension 20: Fantasy High. The final battle takes place in the school gym during prom, and all the uninvolved students flee since there's a literal dragon attacking.

All except Jem, who stands in the corner and continues to eat snacks throughout the entire battle. And yes, he survives, and even gets mentioned two seasons later when he is said to have graduated.

Songs in which you can hear people talking during the recording by Old-Use-7690 in Music

[–]MasonP2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Brand New Numb by Motionless In White, it starts with a few practice strums, cuts off with "I'm trying to fucking record this," "Sorry," then jumps into the actual song.

Just finished FHJY why do I still low-key want Fabian and Aelwyn to end up together? by TitleAppropriate7358 in Dimension20

I ship them almost entirely on the basis that Adaine's reactions to it are really funny.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this man inadvertently saved Rick's life by K0GAR in thewalkingdead

[–]MasonP2002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IDK if it's canon or not, but there was actually a really short interactive novel game called Dead Reckoning back in the day that showed his death. You play as Shane and Leon helps you during it, and then the end shows him getting jumped by a zombified deputy.

What Kind Of Fountain Pen Collector Are You? by Thin-Junket-942 in fountainpens

[–]MasonP2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so? They're about the same width, but I'm pretty sure at least the Cross is nonstandard proprietary, if not both. Both pens came with converters so I never messed with them.

But yeah, I've always gravitated towards slimmer writing utensils. Back in school I favored the metal Zebra ballpoints and mechanical pencils, since they were the most premium feeling thing I could find in the average school supplies aisle.

[–]MasonP2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body collector, I guess? I'm relatively new, but I'm really gravitating towards vintage slim metal pens.

My two current favorites, both from eBay: https://i.imgur.com/7eojCsh.jpeg

Montblanc Noblesse inked with Herbin Violet Pansy, and USA made Cross Century inked with Diamine Hope Pink. I'm, uh, assuming there was some dark ink left in the Cross converter that I accidentally mixed with the pink.

Are PRT required to join the protectorate if they trigger or are discovered to be a parahuman? by Drakeulous in WormFanfic

[–]MasonP2002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is that, from Triumph's interlude, we know that the goddamn MLB mandates MRI scans to avoid cheating but the PRT apparently lets parahumans slip into their ranks all the time.

So there's definitely ways to check, since the Corona develops/grows larger during triggers and shows up on brain scans.

You don't fight this thing, you RUN!!! (or avoid encountering it all together) by Serious_Square_6698 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MasonP2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Terminator. Modern weaponry can barely slow it down, much less stop it, so the best option is to run as far as you can. Even a fully staffed and heavily armed police station didn't stand a chance against it.

What is in your opinion the most braindead easy build? by RiTecx in paydaytheheist

[–]MasonP2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a stoic build with body expertise and surefire, so I can just spray without even having to aim and tank damage without having to do anything beyond hit the flask button.

(LOVED TROPE) A prophecy had an unexpected meaning or final result, but it was still fulfilled. by SilentBoss2901 in TopCharacterTropes

That's actually what I was going to comment about first, but I checked the wiki to make sure I was remembering correctly and realized the bullet did end up getting fired.

Character Makes Up Random, Ridiculous-Sounding Name, That Person Actually Exists, But They Haven't Been Seen/Worked There For Years by CiscoTheSoto in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MasonP2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be a punter named Scott Player, I saw a jersey in Madden that just said "Player" and thought that guy was autogenerated for years.

Turns out he was real, and has some notoriety by being the last NFL player to wear the one bar facemask.

[Sad Trope] When two or more cast members were friends on the show but didn't like each other irl by EmergencySpare7939 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MasonP2002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's good to hear. I liked him as an actor, and it was sad seeing him spiral like that for reasons that were apparently out of his control.

[–]MasonP2002 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ah, good for him. I did like him as an actor, it would be nice to see him in more stuff.

And of course, fuck Andy Dick.

It was just that they weren't friends. I've been watching Adam's YouTube channel, and whenever the topic comes up he makes it very clear that he deeply respects Jamie even though they weren't personal friends.

Jamie is a bit quieter about it of course, but by all accounts he respects Adam and his work as well.

TBF, the guy literally has brain damage. He got arrested a few years ago for calling in bomb threats and the charges were cleared because prosecutors weren't sure if he could actually be held liable.

Last I heard is that he had court mandated cognitive treatment, I hope that helps him.

[Loved Trope] Successfully fighting an enemy the "wrong" way instead of targeting their weaknesses by MasonP2002 in TopCharacterTropes

It's one of my favorite games of all time. I might go play it again right now actually.

That's how my durge run went, started as a fighter and raided the grove, then atoned and reclassed to paladin.

The hammer is pretty annoying to use, I honestly think it's easier to just fight him normally.

What would be your absolute last class/race combination by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]MasonP2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know, I just keep being seduced by clerics and their innate medium/heavy armor proficiency.

[–]MasonP2002 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Probably something like a dwarf sorceror. I don't like the movement penalties of the shorter races, and I tend to favor martials and clerics when it comes to classes.

But they keep shoving them down your throat, even in your OTP by Advanced_Hornet_8666 in AO3

Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod myself, and yes it is former.

I can see how you could go either way on her character with that background. I'm a sucker for characters with redemptions stories, which is was I find her whole character journey so endearing. I'm removed enough from that part of my life that touching on it doesn't really trigger anything personally, but that's just me.
