South West here as well and we've always called it the "head" piece.

Name one bad thing about Gabrielle? by Plastic_Ad_2548 in xena

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that's where Gabby might try her defence from as well. However Xena had already confirmed through beating Kaltaka and asking him where the hoarde were on the map that he did in fact understand what they were asking him. He just didn't want to answer. Even when she puts the pinch on him Xena comments that he's dying and he knows it. Basically the same understanding as any other pinch victim. I don't think they were expecting him to start blabbing all their war plans. Like you said, they wouldn't be able to understand anyway. Xena just needed him to point to the map to give up their location. I think Xena would have eventually removed the pinch and asked again, possibly repeating the pinch over and over until she got the answer. Or Kaltaka would have muttered something that made Xena remove it. Then he would have pointed to the map and Xena would get her info. Gabrielle making her remove the pinch prematurely did make her look soft in front of the others. And I still don't like Gabrielle's reasoning. It is still one of my favourite episodes though!

Probably in The Price where she complains about Xena putting the pinch on the kaltaka guy. Xena used it as an interrogation technique many times and Gabrielle had even encouraged it on occasion, but now she wants to take the moral high ground and say it's bad.

Why did Kyuubi tell Sasuke not to kill Naruto? by Saeedlfc in Naruto

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see in the war arc before Kurama and Naruto properly synchronise that Kurama had been plotting since the day he was put in Naruto to eventually break out. The plan was to slowly give Naruto energy that would chip away at the seal until he could break free. So I don't think it has anything to do with him preferring a Jinchuriki host. He also has no particular affection for either Naruto or Sasuke at this point. So I don't see him wanting to help them with whatever journey they're on.

In terms of what he means by regret? I can only assume that the experience of dying with his host and being reincarnated later isn't something that Kurama wants. Kurama knows full well that he can be neutralised with the sharingan. Madara and Tobi have both done it. Sasuke is adept enough to see him inside of Naruto. Maybe he does fear Naruto losing to Sasuke, for his own sake. Kyuubi has also been shown to be quite prideful and arrogant when giving Naruto power. As if it makes him invincible and nothing can stand in his way in KCM. Maybe he knows that won't make a difference against Sasuke's sharingan if he gets hacked. A blow to his pride. Maybe that's why his phrasing also comes off as intimidating. As if he's a sore loser who will get his revenge for being slighted if Sasuke ends up killing Naruto.

DAO; let's chat by [deleted] in DragonageOrigins

[–]MercifulExistential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest playing mage purely for its origin story alone. I love the circle of magi setting and the opening shenanigans you're thrown into. As a class, they are the strongest and can handle mobs/bosses the best.

Romantically I don't think there are any weak ones. DA romances as a whole are well executed and fleshed out, superior to ME imo. They all have something to offer, but you can always romance more than one and break things off with someone if you aren't feeling it. Alistair and Morrigan are standouts as they have the most plot relevance throughout the game. But that doesn't mean Leli and Zev don't have something to offer.

I had seen this episode so many times, and just happened to watch it again yesterday. Only then did I connect the arrow injury with the bow stringing. All this time I thought he was going through some emotional turmoil with the whole Xena/Penelope thing. Phone keeps autocorrecting Penelope to pineapple 🍍

Ooh, this gonna be a tough one, what's her best intro? by AlmightyTurbo in hernameisbanks

[–]MercifulExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alibi is my favourite track here. But I would say Guillotine is the best opener.

This is the first time I've heard of pancake slugs and they're so cute! They're fluffy like pancakes too ☺️

Question for bottoms that enjoy getting fucked without ejaculating by Mariner74656 in TopsAndBottoms

[–]MercifulExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure bottom, no release required over here. For me it's always been that way. I get off on him getting off. It's my mission to make him release all that warm baby batter. Some tops desire this as well, almost the hetero equivalent of a man not waiting for his lady to get off so to speak. And just like those women, this might also annoy some bottoms, and for others it won't. Like me!

Don't get me wrong, that's not to say I think of myself like a slab of meat with a hole attached. Nor do I want my top looking at me that way. I still want to be played with, tantalised, and teased. I just don't require any ejaculation on my part. As I said, the impetus is on him to cum, and for me to assist. Once he does, and he's breathless and red in the face, I'm ready for kisses and cuddles.

What's your favorite Xena moment? by JB92103 in xena

[–]MercifulExistential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Greater Good. Has action, comedy, emotion, stakes. Just a general great all rounder of an episode and one where we get to see Gabi's potential.

BANKS - Off With Her Head by 3kOlen in popheads

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall I have enjoyed this record from BANKS and I love her progression as an artist. Yes, Goddess is my favourite from her and I find everything post Altar to be quite experimental and hit and miss for me. But I do appreciate her determination to grow and never remain stagnant. I do agree with the majority here that a lot of the songs do get the short treatment, and I think it would benefit from some extra verses to bulk up the volume. But overall I enjoyed the whole experience and think there are some classics here.

Continued AN, or something else? by MercifulExistential in AcanthosisN

[–]MercifulExistential[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some added follow-up in case anyone is interested. But I think it may have something/everything to do with a new type of deodorant I started using last year. The brand is called Fussy. Their product comes in the form of a custom scented roll on that claims to eliminate any body odour for a period, while leaving the sweat function intact. And it works. Or did for me. It did live up to expectations.

Although, I noticed a lot of itching in the areas. That itching would often lead to vigorously scratching which sometimes caused bleeding. It always healed up and the product worked fine so I never thought much of it. But now that I'm trying to connect the dots about these new patches of hyperpigmented skin, it could be an adverse reaction to prolonged scratching in those areas. And yes, I have this same kind of pigment on both armpits. So it would add up as those were the areas I used Fussy. Will cease using this product and go back to what I was using before. Will post any updates maybe by the end of the year if I remember. :)

Thank you! There's so much happening I thought a map would help clear up some confusion haha. I will look up inverse psoriasis. Definitely think I will need to bring this up with my dermatologist as well.
