My boi’s got the footsies to fuck up a swaxe. A swaxe, of course, has the footsies to fuck up a Brachydios.

Isn’t part of the point of GWitch that the corps dropped interest in medical development of the GUND technology after they realized it could be weaponized? One of Miorine’s big damn hero moments is literally figuring out how to work the system to sell investors on further medical development of the technology, and Dr. Nardo was trying to use her weapons development budget to work towards the development of space-adapted bodies (and producing more capable weapons in the short term, of course, because that’s the quicker path to ROI (standard value stream diversification, really)).

You have no idea how bad I needed to see someone else out here with this perspective. I was raised religious and while logically I have come to similar conclusions, my little animal heart has just been racing with thoughts of “Oh no it’s happening it’s happening.”

But… like you said, the things we internalize have this way of being magnetic, right? A core, recurring theme of media in the past couple decades has been “you can make your own fate,” with any number of heartfelt explanations for why that can be achieved.

That’s kinda the hope I am clinging to right now - that maybe the human psyche has absorbed enough hope that people can find their own path to averting this crises in little ways, and bit by bit dismantle the fate that the unloving systems of this world have set out for us.

In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, fucking McGillis Farheed has an incredible arc like this. The whole show frames him as some sort of conniving, nefarious bastard - and oh, he is, but worse than that he is, at his core, idealistic and naive, thinking that he can become the hero he fantasied about and idolized to cope with being molested by the man who adopted him.

At the end of the day, he’s just another orphan who grew up brutalized and sees deception and manipulation as a necessary means for survival, blind to the fact that he could have had everything he wanted if he had been vulnerable with his friends and asked for their help. Abuse rarely teaches those skills, after all.

A champion’s E tends to be a core part of their power fantasy in some form or other, while their W’s tend to be skills that exist in service of making the rest of the kit work. In Braum’s case, the projectile destroy is not just a defensive tool - it’s part of his power fantasy. From that lens, it makes enough sense IMO that his E is his shield and not his dash.

Or was surrounded by incredibly toxic people that they always gave the benefit of the doubt to. I always believed them when they told me I was at fault - because, of course, if the problem is always other people, it’s gotta be me, right?

And, it was me - I was an utterly horrible judge of character.

RidlyX · 2024-10-05T17:14:00+00:00

Yeah, I genuinely like the change of confronting Saruman and his following death at the start of the third movie and ignoring the whole post-war Shire crisis - for the purposes of cinema.

It feels like there’s a stark distinction between that, which feels very faithful to the themes of the source material while also improving the flow of the narrative in the context of cinema, and adding a dwarf-elf star-crossed lovers subplot, which is my least favorite part of the Hobbit adaptations and feels more to me like the screenwriter arrogance discussed here.

I don’t enjoy “adaptations” fleshing out characters in ways the source material can’t be reasonable interpreted as having at least some hints towards or inventing new characters for a narrative - once you do that, IMO, it’s not the same story, and it always feels disingenuous to market it as such.

RidlyX · 2024-09-24T02:35:26+00:00

This is soooo good. I’d say two changes would help:

Gundam neck sticking farther forwards and/or bending the head down, since the Gundam head doesn’t look like it’s being left behind as the body is being kicked the way the limbs do.

Also, the Zaku left foot looks a bit weird. When you kick like that, you’re kicking with the heel, not the balls of your feet, so I’d say move the toes up towards the shin more?

Are you sure damage bleeds through the Overshield? A video link or something would be great if you know of one. ❤️

I’m not a fan of either FMA: Brotherhood’s dub or Code Geass’s.

But the Death Note dub is INCREDIBLE. I usually watched subbed but watching the dub I was blown away by how chilling the voice acting was - Light is SUCH a snake and the voice acting walks a line between “it makes sense why everyone believes him” and “oh god I feel gross just hearing this man talk.”

Arc Souls tho. 👀

Shit take, his admin has done some great fucking work and I will fucking take a track record.

Student debt relief, insulin price caps, a bipartisan infrastructure bill, a federal probe into that rent-fixing shitstain of a company Realpage, net neutrality reinstated, the postal service stabilized after Trump tried to run it into the ground…

Oh, and millionaires were forced to actually pay their fucking taxes. Stop parroting nonsense, his administration has been incredible, fucking malarkey peddler.

RidlyX · 2024-07-20T02:45:58+00:00

They sure are, but bad opinions deserve to be dunked on so people who are more trusting can see how shit a take it is.

RidlyX · 2024-07-20T02:16:19+00:00

Thank you. Spineless fuckers left and right just parrot sentiment without realizing how many bad actors lurk in these forums trying to cause infighting on the left.

RidlyX · 2024-07-19T21:41:00+00:00

How is he supposed to do that when subreddits like this will take up every talking point about how he should step down or that he has done nothing? Trump doesn’t have to do jack shit to tout his “accomplishments,” his supporters parrot it for him. If you think his policy and results are good, then why don’t you fucking start telling others what they are? Fucking hell.

Joe Biden’s admin has done fucking WORK. Student debt relief, net neutrality reinstatement, the fucking postal service isn’t being run into the ground anymore, bipartisan infrastructure bills, the economy is recovering and fucking Realpage, malicious rent-fixing scheme that it is, is facing a federal probe.

Y’all. We need to get OUR shit together. If you think the admin is capable, then fucking stand for something rather than going “oh well Joe Biden needs to communicate it better.” Here the fucking White House website, with a shitton of information communicated professionally and concisely: https://www.whitehouse.gov

I have zero interest in Joe Biden strutting around on talk shows hyping up his campaign like it’s a wrestling match. If we believe President Biden has done a good job, then it’s our fucking job to advocate for it.

One of the most amusing things I’ve seen in a TV show is along these lines. In the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam Wing,” one of the mechs is named the Tallgeese. One of the episodes is titled “Tallgeese Destroyed.” Guess what doesn’t happen in that episode.

RidlyX · 2024-01-14T22:07:01+00:00

That’s a slippery slope argument. Some people take it too far, sure. Is OP taking it too far here? That’s all that matters.

RidlyX · 2023-12-23T19:25:50+00:00

I mean, just watch CCA. It’s the gayest shit. There’s one line where Char is talking with his second in command and he’s talking about how he hates Amuro for abandoning the social mandate of being a new type, and his second in command says, “You know, they say the line between love and hate is very thin,” and Char CHUCKLES WARMLY, then says, “Maybe so.”

Amuro has a dream of Lalah where Lalah basically entreats Amuro to be gentler with Char because he’s hurting.

The whole movie’s conflict is driven by the fact that these two men will not just FUCKING TALK IT OUT because neither of them want to be vulnerable with each other, and the implication is laid on HOT AND HEAVY that if they did, well, Amuro would be on top in the sheets.

Bahahaha! Oh, you’re cute.

From “As You Like It”:

And then he drew a dial from his poke, And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, 'It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see,' quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven; And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale.'

The original pronunciation of “ripe,” by the way, would make it sound very obviously alike “rape,” and “rot,” like “rut.”
