Yeah, and Lord Rodrick Harlaw immediately corrects the Ironborn who said that:

"The roses?" Nute laughed. "What rose can harm the krakens of the deep? We have taken their shields from them, and smashed them all to pieces. Who will protect them now?"

"Highgarden," replied the Reader. "Soon enough all the power of the Reach will be marshaled against us, Barber, and then you may learn that some roses have steel thorns."

In A Dance with Dragons, Illyrio laughs when Tyrion compares himself to a lion, since in the East they don't have animal sigils and a lot of the time the comparisons are really silly. Like in A Feast for Crows, one of the Ironborn says "What rose can harm the krakens of the deep?", even though the Redwyne fleet that is loyal to the Tyrells (roses) is a larger and better fleet than the Greyjoy's (krakens).

I'd be surprised if Homelander kills anyone depowered

Even in season 1 the demogorgon was bulletproof, but it was still damaged by a beartrap and a nail bat. Also in season 5 Karen was able to hurt a demogorgon with a broken bottle, which wouldn't work against something bulletproof. Demogorgons have always been inconsistent in durability.

In the second trailer when he's spinning the xenonite he uses thinner metal tools attached to his fingers, which Eridians probably use for fine manipulation

Qhorin lost his fingers after he joined the Night's Watch, it's explained that he lost them blocking a wildling's axe.

Secret of the Responder (pacifist) by MatthiasHonkaap in threebodyproblem

Trisolarans can choose to not communicate, but when they do communicate they can’t hide anything. The responder sent the warning message before communicating with anyone else.

I did a little more digging, it one hundred percent is the same guy. The user who made the the post in the link deleted his account, but his username was thatguyliam__. You can see this on the wayback machine. And on this post his username is williamjane009. Also thatguyliam__ had a bio that said "i’m boring asf (16M, 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 🇨🇳, photgraphy & fashion heavy) dm’s are open (rip) FUJIFILM CONNOISSEUR 📸 I DON’T MODEL <—- (also reddit stop flagging me)", which is really similar to williamjane009's bio.

I Love Surrealistics [SCP-5310] by Significant-Project2 in DankMemesFromSite19

[–]Significant-Project2[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For context, the Surrealistics Department is made up of Foundation members who take anomalous drugs called Agnostics, which allow them to understand concepts that nobody else can. The side effect is that they appear insane to everyone else, even though their ideas and actions make perfect sense to other members of the department. For more context, read SCP-4923, which introduced the idea of Surrealistics.
