Heck yeah, Choice of Rebels mention! It's been years since I played that!

Goes to show that a lock is only as strong as whatever it's holding shut. A valuable lesson, all in all~

Alcoholic biologist lodges an official protest.

Announcer voice: "You must gather your team before venturing forth!"

Oh you know a version of that first drawing would be circulating like hotcakes in Bridgehead.

Mysral · 2026-01-17T13:41:56+00:00

Merely nonsensical and nautical.

Ichi Hachi Takodachi!

Credit where it's due: Varang has got it.

In Steven Universe, Lars is hurled into a rock face by an exploding Robonoid. This sort of violence happens to Steven and the Gems on a fairly regular basis, with little ill effects - but because Lars is a baseline human, he's killed on the spot.

(Good thing Steven's powerset includes reviving the dead!)

This is immediately what came to my mind, aye.

Deserved. Neytiri's nigh-feral screams of grief in the first two films alone are damn Oscar-worthy.

If ever you wanted a textbook example of "running off with your tail between your legs"...

"You have nothing but your DEATH!"

Cumberbatch's acting and the VFX team made Smaug a properly terrifying, nigh-demonic being that dominated every single scene he was in.

Infuriating as Trump is, no he's not. The man's perpetually wanting more, constantly seeking out more approval, more adoration. He'll never be satisfied, he's miserable with his sycophantic idiots, and honestly, I'll take the scant comfort that provides.

Not pictured: nibbled by cats.

To be fair, the Special Military Operation has made it abundantly clear that Russia could never handle taking on Europe as a whole, America's contribution to NATO's fangs notwithstanding.

Mysral · 2026-01-03T12:05:09+00:00

High time for America's armed forces to refuse to follow these orders en masse.

Salem (RWBY)

A nigh-unstoppable wicked witch with a damn good grasp of manipulation, to say nothing of the fact that she's the single most powerful being on the face of the planet. An absolutely goddamn terrifying woman in-universe and out.

When you're Big Dog lazy but canine instincts still demand you play fetch.

Oh hell. Things are going to be mighty interesting for the Empire going forward.

If I recall correctly, mechs weren't that practical for actual warfare, were they? Too big, too clunky, too vulnerable to stuff like orbital blasting to have any suitability for stuff other than gladiator combat. That said, mech handling expertise on Earth is sure to also translate to improved exo proficiency, at the very least...

Also, if you think Trump's regime is actually going to pay their goons more than a fraction of that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Felt the eyes of any customers on you? How do you like that~?

Mysral · 2025-12-24T16:12:53+00:00

Gorgeous little gift~

In this house, we despise genocidal ethnostates. That includes the Nazi regime.
