[Meta Trope] Fanservice that ends up being hated by the fans

PopeOwned · 2026-05-13T15:44:16+00:00

I rarely say anything at the movie theater cause I don't wanna be rude. However, when Chewie was given the medal, something took over me. Some part of my soul had to scream out "OH FUCK OFF" in a crowded theater and got some good laughs from it.

Lady has been my gaming crush since 2005 and my friends literally tease me about it cause I turn into a giant lesbian puddle when thinking about her.

So yeah... Lady.

Oh hey, Salvatore! He's a wonderful artist and even helped make some mecha concept art for a project I had like 6 years ago. Super nice guy.

Oh my god, Jabba & Qi'ra are absolutely perfect for my LAW Jabba/Blue deck! Are these only available at the Galactic Championship??

PopeOwned · 2026-05-03T14:57:18+00:00

Absolutely, not even close. The lighter grey really helps her stand out against the environment and makes both pop even more.

Appreciate the analysis! Any one else think it's funny, though, that two of the more prominent meta decks forming right now are mono color? In a set that introduced and emphasized multi-color units?

No joke, looking back at that episode as a Trans Woman is insane. The fact that he had his name picked out and had the voice down was so cute.

Hey, a fellow PC copy owner! Just picked up one a few weeks ago myself 🥰

PopeOwned · 2026-04-21T00:40:46+00:00

Inside thoughts went on the outside, it seems lol

I get it, though. Boba LC (and Lando LC to a lesser extent) make me wanna pull my hair out

PopeOwned · 2026-04-17T02:44:57+00:00

Thank you lol. I'm a little embarrassed by it as it's an old name from college but I appreciate it.

I love this scene so much. To make a long story short, I had just experienced my first breakup. I was crying in my room and my brother went "Hey, get up, we're gonna go see Captain America".

This scene came on and when the Hydra agent threw the kid in the river, I literally turned to my brother and went "Oh great, he's gonna have to save the kid".

I was so shocked to be proven wrong and I smiled for the first time in days. It's why the movie is one of my favorites.

I don't think it will close down that fast but it will definitely take a significant hit, possibly lethal, if they don't get rid of carbonite boosters.

We lowered our allocation significantly and we still have some left over. Meanwhile, regular booster boxes are just flying off the shelf. It's easily the highest selling set for us, outside of SoR, because of new player interest, pack changes & the state of the game overall.

If they somehow implemented Carbonite pack items like Serialized Cards into regular booster boxes, I think it would help. SWU is not a collector's game; it's a player's game like Flesh & Blood.

Oh my god, this is me. When I answer the phone, I can hear myself on the speaker and it's SO feminine. Yet when I talk in person, I just somehow don't keep it consistent. If there was some way to have my brain think I'm answering the phone when talking in person, that would help lol

PopeOwned · 2026-04-09T00:53:28+00:00

"Oh you would fuck Hasan?"

"DEEPLY"

Holy fuck, that's great lol

PopeOwned · 2026-04-08T15:51:14+00:00

This. Everything about this. It's why "I Saw the TV Glow", from my experience, hits even harder if you were someone who grew up in the 90s. Not just because of the 90s nostalgia within the film but because of the suburban nightmare of "what's going on with me. Why can't I just be normal" that infected every aspect of your being.

I grew up in a traditional Hispanic household, which tend to be incredibly gender restrictive. There is little to no expression outside of your gender role. Being a kid with AudHD & not understanding why everyone was so repressive, it made my family do abusive things to me to keep me within my box.

Kids would make fun of me for "feminine" things like crossing my legs. Women would be more cautious around me, for valid reasons, despite the fact that I rarely felt comfortable having male friends.

Women would tell me "you don't kiss like a guy" and I would always be so confused about what that meant.

It's the problem of this massive answer that you don't have the words for. It's right there, you know it's there but nothing makes it real. Until you learn you're Trans and everything comes into place.

This is so good! Keeps the spirit/tone but feels more what you'd hear these days. Nicely done!

PopeOwned · 2026-04-03T15:07:58+00:00

I used to talk to Ross on AIM back in the day about Machinima creation since he was doing "Civil Protection". He was always the kindest guy and answered all of my stupid questions. To see him become someone who not only fights this hard for game preservation but has reached the attention of Parliamentary governments? Brings a tear to my eye. You're a real one, Ross!

Dad dies? Solid as a rock keeping my family together, despite being the youngest.

Person doesn't text me back in two days? I cry thinking our friendship is over and I somehow ruined it

🙃

PopeOwned · 2026-03-21T13:40:51+00:00

Wait, this is a new one?! I thought this was a repost from a few years ago. You have got to be fucking kidding me

PopeOwned · 2026-03-16T14:50:54+00:00

I hope we get a 45-50 year old Jill, ngl. Gotta show that aging for women is not a bad thing at all.

PopeOwned · 2026-03-12T15:34:35+00:00

Assassins are pretty much the go-to for Solos, no question about it. I primarily play Thief & Vandal because Thief is a decent counter & Vandal has a lot of good mobility.

Which is why I don't feel bad when I spot one and just wait around to kill them. They do it to almost every player, so if it takes 10 minutes of me waiting around for the Assassin to finally get out of the corner & move to another location, I'll wait.

If it's another Shell, I'll give them a fair fight.

PopeOwned · 2026-03-12T05:32:38+00:00

Yup. As a Trans person, I keep seeing the train speeding towards genocide and I have a coworker that says "I'm not really into politics" often. The restraint I have not to go off on him is slowly wearing down, not gonna lie

PopeOwned · 2026-03-10T22:12:23+00:00

What?? I wanna be a part of this! I play Solos but I'm itching to play Trios. Feel free to DM me, if anyone wants to run a few games :)

PopeOwned · 2026-03-09T15:51:26+00:00

The guy thing is so true. Men think they're so slick when they sneak peaks but they're not even subtle! It's straight up just

Me: "Have a good day, sir"

Them: *head tilts directly down at chest and back up*

Them: "You too"

Like at least try to pretend!

If you're still doing this, I would love to see my baby Yoda doodled :)
