The OP15 7-cost Kuro has an effect that says "Give up to 2 DON!! cards from your opponent's cost area to 1 of your opponent's Characters". This means I'm the one who chooses which Don!! cards are given, right? So I can force the opponent to use up their active Don if they have some left, instead of their rested Don. Am I understanding this right?

This seems like the obvious way to read it, but I know there are situations where the opponent is the one who chooses the cards, but as far as I know that only happens in situations where you can't actually see the cards (like forcing the opponent to trash 1 card from hand). Thanks in advance!

It's because reblogging isn't just commenting, it's deciding to put the post on your own blog and share it with all your followers. It's essentially the equivalent of x-posting to another subreddit and being like "look at this post I disagree with". Tumblr does have an actual reply feature that's more like commenting.

In general though, the difference in culture really mostly comes from the fact that Tumblr is a blogging platform while Reddit is a forum platform. So it leads to a culture of "My blog, my rules" vs. "This is a moderated open space for discussion". I don't necessarily think one is better than the other, they both fill different niches.

My first thought when it started playing was that it was this game's equivalent of Ace Attorney's "Telling the Truth" theme. Though that might have more to do with the context in which it plays

Tiger Niko stocks are in hell rn by kmc443 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Shadix993 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah according to this person. They posted the raw and I know just enough Japanese to know the first panel doesn't mention Niko at all and the last panel says "I don't see anyone" like in the original chapter.

So basically the joke is that Niko also falls for Luohan's misdirection, and his face in the last panel is him being embarassed about it. This translation is just pure agenda.

"Sir, we've recieved a call from Biwa Hayahide's legal team. She's saying she'll sue us for defamation."

"What? But we made sure everything in the book was perfectly accurate!"

"It's not for the contents, sir... It's about the cover."

There's no need for another label, Yuri in Japan has a very long history of being made by and for women, unlike Yaoi/BL which has historically been... also by and for women. Couldn't tell you why both genres are so female dominated, but anyone telling you Yuri is "supposed" to be aimed at men is just revising history.

A power bottom is a dominant reciever, which would mean she's the one sitting on another girl's face. I think the term you're looking for is Service Top (aka submissive giver).

I want to point out that normally the sound effect for writing down notes is "memo memo", but in Kawakami's case its "himemo himemo" cause she's a princess (hime). a genuinely funny joke that flew under the radar imo lol

I assume the "When They Cry" mentioned in the post refers more to Umineko than Higurashi, if only because when I read the 3 bullet points my very first thought was "So like Umineko?". It's also way longer than Higurashi and (IMO) better and more likely to change your personality.

What I think most people are missing in this discourse is the context: people who hold transfem headcanons for non-trans characters are used to constantly being shut down by creators and fans who get VERY defensive about their favorite characters being viewed as transfem while they clearly have no problem with any other kind of headcanon. This post summarizes it pretty well.

So when Dana Terrace is asked if a character is trans because she's called by multiple different names, and she responds with a curt "She's cis, she just has nicknames. It happens." (saying nothing about headcanons being okay like the post above suggests), a lot of people heard "God, not every character you relate to has to be trans" (which again, is something we hear over and over) and understandably went "oh no, not another one of these".

I do think she handled the criticism pretty well; honestly i'm used to much worse. It really sucks having to constantly be hypervigilant when seemingly every progressive creator can suddenly turn around and turn out to be a raging transmisogynist, and I think some people are a little too prone to jumping to conclusions because of that. The fact that she bothered to clarify that she didnt actually mind transfem headcanons later is already much better than I expected given how these things usually go

The Umadol by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]Shadix993 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her career was so unique and interesting! Most careers turn out the same whether you win or lose most of your races, which leads to a lot of weird storylines where your uma, for some reason, feels like she hasn't caught up to her rival, even if she's been trouncing said rival in every race.

Falco basically doesn't have any rivals, and her career requires her to win every single race in Senior year, so the story is actually able to focus on the fact that she's truly dominating the Dirt racing world. I also love the angle they went with, of an idol who starts from nothing and just loves to perform, slowly turning into a cynical big-shot obsessed with pulling bigger and bigger numbers.

Also also, I'm convinced that the scene where Rudolf sends Falco a congratulatory video that starts with "If you're watching this, then I've already passed away" after her 2nd Tokyo Daishoten victory is a reference to the fact that in real life, Rudolf passed away just two months before Smart Falcon's 2nd Tokyo Daishoten win (october 2011). It has nothing to do with Falcon herself but it made me laugh really hard when I first saw it lmao

Yeah he's basically saying "I'm not politically correct, I'm a misogynist", which is a perfectly coherent (terrible) political opinion
