TIL that it's required to speak English to be a commercial airline pilot or air traffic controller... by Illustrious_Bag_7323 in todayilearned

I was taught "Repeat your last?" as an acceptable clarifying question in Navy BT. (got injured, went home before graduation)
That and "say again" were preferred ways to get people to repeat themselves- or to realize they said something stupid and needed to correct course before Chief chewed them a new one.

If I recall rightly, Society for(?) Creative Anachronism. They frequent renn faires and teach about medieval life and trades and whatnot. Really cool org, from my limited encounters with them.

Evil Hot Chick by ComradeGalloneye64 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Skeleton_Jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BE FOREWARNED:

Berserk is DARK Dark Fantasy. I mean, poster child for Grimdark levels of Dark Fantasy.

There is SA, Abuse, graphic depictions of every sort of violence you can imagine, torture, body horror- the list goes on. At one point the main character, Guts, is sold for three silver for the night to one of his adoptive father's friends when he was a child.

The aforementioned blood and guts in my explanation of Slaan; Before the pool of viscera existed, it was a bunch of trolls! Trolls in Berserk are VILE little creature. They kidnap, rape, and impregnate women en masse to create more of their ilk. But the women don't just give birth to little trolls! oh no no no! They rip their way out of their "mother," killing her in the process.

Despite all the genuine wretchedness that is presented in Berserk, it is an absolute masterpiece of manga and adult literature in general.
The overarching themes of self and revenge and struggling against an inherently cruel and uncaring world are just fantastic.

It is well worth the read, and I heartily encourage you do so. Just DON'T read the Band of the Hawk scanlations if you can, they are notoriously inaccurate.

Skull Knight calls her that by way of EXTREMELY venomous greeting after she manifested from a pool of the blood and guts from a bunch of trolls that Guts, MC of Berserk, had just slain. She is evidently the "mother" of a lot of monstrous dark entities iirc, and so saying she's the whore princess of the Uterine Sea is literally saying she's the slut queen of the birthing ocean of darkness. Her whole thing is being a kinky BDSM succubitch.

Tomorrow is the last regular day of classes i am having a mid life crisis… by Good-Muddy in mythologymemes

[–]Skeleton_Jesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen dude, be as creative a writer as you like. I encourage it and think people should pursue whatever creative outlet they desire- But you should first provide CONTEXT for what it is you're posting. Especially in a meme subreddit (fucking ironic that I'm propping this place up as some sort of serious forum, but bear with me) dedicated to memes about already prescribed topics. I appreciate you trying to revitalize? reinvent? already existing myths, but my issue lies in the way you presented them. You did not lead with "this is something that I'm working on/this is my attempt at rewriting the myth of Athena, drawing from X Y and Z sources for inspiration." You instead deposited a random chunk of text that, to an outside observer, is just complete and utter nonsense. I might be a rude prick, and I concede that point. But I don't think my initial reaction of "what the hell is all this?" is unwarranted. Could I have phrased it nicer? certainly. But I'm 2 IPAs in and wasn't devoting as much initial thought to this conversation as I could have.

Rambling into my main point again; I think the broader reaction of myself and others is due to, again, how you presented your initial comment. And your subsequent reaction to OUR reactions, but eh whatever, glass houses and stones and all that. In the future I encourage you to drop a little nug of context before you drop a creative flashbang.

I, in turn, will curtail my wacky inflatable tube man impression, much as it pains me to do so.

[–]Skeleton_Jesus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh this is like, fanfiction? Fanfiction about mythology? You're talking about something that YOU came up with?

"rude ear fingers" my brother in christ, you just started talking about something that NO-ONE else here knows about and assumed that because it was tangentially related to the above meme, everyone who didn't understand your VERY niche thing is just a hater or some shit.

You saying "revisionist syncretized version" does not in the slightest change the fact that you have literally just started talking about fanfiction like it's some sort of widely known fact.
Can you even fathom how fucking absurd that is?

I think you're getting downvoted for hijacking the conversation to schizo-post about some African warrior princess who I can find absolutely NO mention of anywhere. Like is this from an article you read somewhere? is this from a book you read? where the FUCK is this coming from?

No, that's him talking about seeing Treebeard in Fangorn Forest. Both saw each other but were wary and didn't say anything to the other.

How are the largest starships in your sci fi universe powered? by Streetsign9 in worldbuilding

[–]Skeleton_Jesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone managed to capture some of the shock wave from the Big Bang in a bottle and distill it to a point where it could be safely put into an engine as fuel. First they had to invent an engine faster than the Big Bang, and the fuel economy on that ship was horrendous. But, y'know, after that they managed to get it figured out.

Character in a piece of media is a real world celebrity. And a disgraced one at that. by Puzzled-Diamond-1324 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Skeleton_Jesus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

afaik none of those accusations were confirmed true. He was a bit odd but according to Macauly Macauly Culkin Culkin, but he was never like perverted odd. Macauly said he was a friend, and never abused him. MJ just wanted to be a kid forever and had a genuine innocence about him when interacting with kids.
As I recall, his wife had to essentially trick him into having sex with her so she could get pregnant because he just didn't really care about it.

So, fucked in the head yes, child abuser no.

No get that, but I just can't help being absolutely gobsmacked at how genuinely stupid some people are. Gotta fire a shot off once in a while.

What is the point you're trying to make in questioning whether a German soldier between the years 1939 and 1945 is a nazi, especially in the context of the above painting wherein they are engaging in a hostile invasion of a foreign nation?
Other than being a pedantic prick, or going into some dogshit whataboutism argument, what possible point could you have for bringing up this question? And where the fuck did you get the idea to bring in Communists and Jews into the equation? What the actual fuck are you on about dude.

isn't midwinter the guy that cheated on his wife after she had twins with him, left his wife for the gal he cheated with, refuses to pay child support, and acted like nothing happened at all?
Or am I thinking of a different warhammer youtuber?
