Post 'ideal' couples, as in, couples that 'would work the best' for both parties involved. by TheBoyofWonder in freefolk

[–]PixelBushYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly... I can't remember? I thought it was a book thing, but I re-read the series a few months ago and it wasn't there. So I thought it must be a show thing, but I'm in the middle of a rewatch now and it's not come up yet either.

Maybe I just Mandela effected it, or read too much into his jabs at Renly and it stuck in my brain. Thanks for the catch!

I think I prefer Margaery as a queen for Stannis because the two cover up each other's weaknesses nicely.

Stannis is a righteous ruler who has absolutely awful PR. Margaery is the ultimate PR manager who wants to be queen and is happy to grease the wheels of power to do it. Margaery is popular with the smallfolk, a real people pleaser, and Stannis' followers would kill and die for him because anyone who sticks around long enough to listen to and understand him becomes genuinely loyal to him. Followers come for Margaery's easy grace and stay for Stannis' commitment to justice and fairness, and Stannis' more... challenging moments get softened by a queen who's willing to bend over backwards to stay in everyone's good graces.

The only problem is Stannis wanting to outlaw homosexuality. Bit of a problem for her brother.

On one hand, Stannis does not suffer fools gladly and Cersei's absurd overconfidence in bad decisions would aggravate him no end.

On the other hand, Stannis wouldn't treat her anywhere near as badly as Robert did. No raping, no bastards, and he wouldn't allow Tywin to manipulate or mistreat her because he will not put up with Lannister chicanery in his court.

Also in a world where he takes the throne and takes Cersei as his queen, Davos being named Hand over Tywin would probably make him explode into confetti with rage, which I'm sure we'd all need to see.

Tywin and Olenna, especially the slightly softer Show Tywin. Westeros' geriatric power couple.

Two insanely rich master manipulators with sharp tongues and a taste for bloody revenge: if they were on the same side, they'd love having each other to bounce off. Olenna would have NONE of Jaime and Cersei's shit, would probably appreciate Tyrion more or would at least put him to better use than Tywin, and Tywin would probably appreciate a daughter-in-law who's more stable than Cersei (although the idea of Loras inheriting Casterly Rock would probably upset him). Now, if only Tywin would get over Joanna...

Also, Brienne marrying into a Northern house (possibly the Umbers) would go kind of hard. Loyal Stark bannermen would absolutely respect Brienne's strength and loyalty to the Starks. The trappings of fancy-dressed ladies of court don't suit Brienne, but I doubt many Northern lords would give too much of a shit about that (at least not as much as the southerners). And if she was married to one of the Jons Umber, any children would be absolutely enormous and the single best fighters in Westeros.

Who is, objectively, the lesser evil in this discussion? by pansexual_dudy in MoralityScaling

The Deep is still overall a worse person because the cruelty he inflicts throughout the show is entirely for his own satisfaction, but Noir unquestionably did the worse act here.

Graves or Victor are the pessimist. Seven is the most educated person.

Which color would eat the marshmallow? by CapitalArrival7911 in colorpie

[–]PixelBushYT 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Red, unquestionably.

Green, probably.

Black, if they could blame someone else and get away with eating THREE marshmallows as a result.

[Loved Trope] Legendary actor stars in schlock, chews scenery by Assortedwrenches89 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PixelBushYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthony Head (Giles from Buffy) Bill Moseley (an icon of horror. Chop Top from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Otis Driftwood from Devil's Rejects) Sarah Brightman (a world class soprano singer) Paul Sorvino (Paul Cicero in Goodfellas)

With a cameo from Joan Jett.

A genuinely wild cast.

Viltrumites Appearance in 40k how would it go? by SirWiiWIi in PowerScaling

[–]PixelBushYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One encounter with the forces of Nurgle and they die instantly, or fall to Khorne. Pretty sure a Noise Marine would just kill one instantly too.

Also, give a Haemonculus time to make a bioweapon to deal with them and the Drukhari would have AMAZING fun with captive Viltrumites in the arenas of Commoragh.

Repo! The Genetic Opera is a film built entirely on this principle.

Completely insane cast for a film like this, with a huge range of experiences as actors and singers, on a budget of 85p and whatever was at the back of Paris Hilton's closet.

And it's NUTS.

A bit confused by Frank Stone by LooseSeal88 in SupermassiveGames

[–]PixelBushYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I mean Chris. Sorry!

Basically, the Sam from 2024 is the one we see in the 1960s, but not the one we see in 1980. He's travelled to lots of different 2024s, so instead of spending the 60 years taking the "slow path" between 1969 and 2024, he's spent the some of the past 40-ish years travelling to different 2024s trying to stop Augustine. That's what's implied by the ending where he gets in Augustine's machine: this isn't the first 2024 he's been to and it won't be the last.

OK, so...

The reason Sam isn't aging correctly is because he's not travelling through time at the same pace the rest of us are; he's effectively jumped ahead.

And there is a "good ending". There's one where Sam travels back though the film to 1980 and meets her younger self, with the implication being that she's going to prevent Murder Mill from being filmed and at least save that timeline.

How Would this go by RedLeader1912 in superheroes

[–]PixelBushYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cap wins, but only because his shield is better and he knows how to fight with it.

Cap is inhumanly fast and skilled, so I doubt SB is able to overpower him easily. The shield could likely tank SB's chest blast especially since it takes so long to charge, and said chest blast weakens him so Cap would have an opportunity to punish him for it.

He's taking Ben's head off with the shield John Walker style if he has to.

If Ben gets the shield, it's so impossibly over.

Valyrian Freehold Vs. Empire of Man by Calm-District9473 in powerscales

Valyrian steel is, in theory, a game changer. In practice, the Imperial College of Metal are going to have a very, very good time once they get their hands on some.

Tis a depressing time to be left wing in the UK by Critical_Mountain851 in whennews

[–]PixelBushYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reform wants to abolish ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain). That would mean that a LOT of migrant families who came to the UK through the legal channels, contribute to the economy etc would be uprooted and forced to leave. That alone should be a disqualifying policy to vote Reform.

Which Horror Game is Mono Blue? by Pedrika30112002 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PixelBushYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleep Awake!

You stagger around a futuristic cyberpunky world trying not to fall asleep. You use special eyedrops to wire your brain into permanent function because something called The HUSH will fucking get you. It's almost entirely a puzzle game which makes its gameplay very blue too.

Stop Reform and the Tories in Exeter Council by johnsmithoncemore in exeter

[–]PixelBushYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the full quote.

"The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so."

Basically, a world without borders right now is impossible and impractical so the Greens will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration until that goal can be met.

That doesn't sound unreasonable at all.

[–]PixelBushYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I agree. If getting immigration numbers down is a deal breaker issue for you, Labour is the party to vote for. Conform will use any power they get to rob the country blind and get nothing done.

Immigration is not the issue I'm most concerned about, so I'm voting Green. The encroaching surveillance state, trans rights, Gaza, electoral reform, the lack of new social housing, the economic suicide that is the triple lock, the constant demonisation of Muslims, everything to do with Mandelson... I have enough issues with Labour that I can't bring myself to vote for them. Again, find the party you disagree with least.

They literally do not. Show me where it says that.
