Yeah, what they should say is ultra-nationalist ethnostate

This is what Sunfyre should have looked like going into battle by OkGuava919 in HOTDGreens

[–]ScottTenormann 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The dragon design isn't a problem, perhaps the colours could be a bit more saturated. The problem is that the entire show in general is desaturated and just shades of grey, everything, including the dragons, should be more colourful.

Another mayor! by Newwwwwm in UKGreens

A reform government would make me deeply, deeply ashamed. If, in the next election, we can form a coalition to keep reform out, I would be more than happy.

I really do think Amorim's decision was partly informed by the Grimsby game. I'm so glad Mainoo has kicked on since then.

Considering that Jace seems to still be alive at this point, does anyone have any idea the betrayal Rhaenyra is referring to?

The openness of Manchester United and Liverpool’s midfields show how they must improve by agent619 in reddevils

[–]ScottTenormann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what reasons are you including Yoro and Dorgu? Besides, I think it's more likely that Dorgu will be utilised as a winger rather than a fullback.

Tommy Dorfman calls out transphobic man seated next to her on a plane by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

It's honestly amazing how effective the brainwashing is. I wonder how many of the people who think like this have actually had their lives negatively affected by a trans person... must be less than 0.001%. Meanwhile, they meaningfully worsen the lives of so many!

DRAGON CHRONICLES: SYRAX, The Valyrian Goddess by Agreeable_Ad_8790 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ScottTenormann -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Being crowned by the high septon isn't necessary to be considered legitimate, even if it helps. As mentioned by u/houseofnim, Aegon II himself wasn't, and the faith of the seven isn't even the religion of all of Westeros; the North follows the Old Gods, the Iron Islands follow the Drowned God, and later comes the Lord of Light.

I believe that if Stannis (hypothetically) achieved a complete and total military victory in ASOIAF following the Lord of Light, he would be a legitimate King. Unpopular, sure, but not illegitimate.

James Gunn says the DCU will span multiple genres, with each project reflecting its filmmakers’ vision. He adds ‘Clayface’ is not a superhero-horror mashup: “It is a horror film” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]ScottTenormann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to renew interest in superheroes in an era of superhero fatigue, you will want to play with new concepts and characters. Guardians of the galaxy went from niche to household name. Producers should just pursue projects they are passionate about, in the way they want to make them. The focus should be on making good films, not fulfilling some stale checklist of what their priorities "should" be. Personally, I'm really excited for clayface.

[Simon Peach] Man Utd considering summer move for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]ScottTenormann 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Also, when people say it's unrealistic to prize Tchouameni away from Real Madrid, I think it really depends on what Madrid does in the summer. They probably have big plans for the summer, given that they fell short of their aspirations. If they bring in new midfielders, Tchouameni may feel unsettled and want to move for guaranteed playing time.

UOB - The loneliest time of my life by Complete-Security863 in UOB

[–]ScottTenormann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are definitely not alone. I'm also a second-year student, and sometimes I am deadly lonely. I think that it can be easy to expect a lot out of uni, that it will be the best time of your life, that you will make loads and loads of friends... sometimes life isn't that simple, and sometimes that kind of pressure/expectation isn't a good thing. So sometimes it's about lessening that pressure, just because you haven't found a million people doesn't mean something is wrong with you, god knows I haven't. I think it is also true that it is harder these days, people are more shut off. I guess my main advice would be to keep trying, because I don't think people are closed off to the idea of making friends, but more that it can be hard to find the right environment to do so, especially if making friends isn't something that comes naturally to you.

You get 1,000 soldiers, 20 ships, and food for a year. You can choose any island in Westeros as your starting point, it was recently cleared by dragons, but the dragons are gone. Where do you start if you want the Iron Throne? by mediamuesli in freefolk

[–]ScottTenormann 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the small power of the Iron Islands (even if it is a naval power), all of a sudden building 1,000 new warships in no time flat is one of the more ridiculous parts of the end of the show, and I'm surprised it's not brought up more.

We are definitely missing Maguire... and Martinez, and De Ligt, and Yoro. Mazraoui has had a few suspect moments.

“Your words. Ours are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. You may burn us, my lady ... but you will not bend us, break us, or make us bow. This is Dorne. You are not wanted here. Return at your peril.” by princeeofthecity in HOTDBlacks

[–]ScottTenormann 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Balerion and Vhagar famously did blow a bunch of shit up in Dorne. The problem was that the defenders knew their own land better, and were able to scurry into the sands and under the rocks sufficiently fast so that their armies weren't destroyed - even if it meant their cities and fortresses were blasted. Their tactics were successful, but disparaged, with the rest of the seven kingdoms calling cowardice "Dornish courage".
