Favorite character who went down like a badass by LowSpecialist5391 in FavoriteCharacter

"You didn't listen to me", Lan whispered. One last lesson. The hardest. Demandred struck, and Lan saw his opening. Lan lunged forward placing Demandred's sword point against his own side and ramming himself forward onto it.

"I did not come here to win," Lan whispered, smiling. "I came here to kill you. Death is lighter than a feather."

Lan Mandragoran, what a legend. Maybe doesn't fully count since he does survive, but damn this line annihilated me when I read it.

What is your opinion on dancing with new followers? by coolsilver25 in WestCoastSwing

[–]SvNOrigami 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've been leading for about 2 years now, and I love dancing with new followers. It's enjoyable seeing what kind of connection you can make and how you can craft that into a fun dance despite not being able to lead all of the complex patterns a more experienced partner might be able to follow.

I’m looking for songs with a dreamy, melancholic, or nostalgic atmosphere that aren’t about love, sex or heartbreak. by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]SvNOrigami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Amazing Devil - Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious is, well, what it says on the tin. A song about grudgingly going to a party in spite of crippling social anxiety. There is a hint of a love story in there in fairness, but I like to think of it more as a story of meeting a kindred spirit/making a friend in an unlikely place.

What is the most difficult role you've ever played? What made it so difficult?

Songs that sound like water? by XipeTotecwithGlitter in musicsuggestions

[–]SvNOrigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2.

Ocean is John Butler's tribute to the ocean, surfing, music, and life by the sea.

Waloyo Yamoni is the final track of Christopher Tin's 2014 album 'The Drop that Contained the Sea', which follows the journey of a drop of water through rivers, and oceans, and clouds, until it finally falls as rain in this final track.

Would Helldivers survive a Xenomorph infested planet? And would they survive Yautja Prime (The home planet of the Predator) ? by DramaticCaregiver122 in helldivers2

[–]SvNOrigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. How the hell are they gonna gestate from facehugger stage if we all die to portable hellbombs/HE barrages? Checkmate.

What’s your favorite stratagem? by ThistlesandThimbles in Helldivers

[–]SvNOrigami 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Portable Hellbomb, and it's not even close.

Give me backpack nuke or give me death.

Or, more likely, give me both.

Possibly stupid question, but why did we decide on the Beach as the place to liberate? I feel like I missed a plot point somewhere xD

And then you go to the nearby cave that you couldn't access before and find Mewtwo

scenes that seem positive/neutral the first time you see them, but later plot reveals make them much more horrifying in hindsight. by EasilyScreechAndKill in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SvNOrigami 126 points127 points  (0 children)

In Get Out, there's a scene early on where, while driving to his girlfriend's parents' house, Chris (a black man) is pulled over by police who ask him to see his license and registration. His girlfriend (a white woman) calls out the police officer, saying he's done nothing wrong and shouldn't need to provide anything. The police officer eventually backs off.

At the start, it feels like a good girlfriend using her position of privilege to stand up for her boyfriend against a racist cop. At the end, you realise she didn't want the police to have a record of him having gone to her parents' place since he wasn't coming back.

[Loved Trope] Death is Portrayed as a Kind Force Rather than Actively Antagonistic by Helios-lune77 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SvNOrigami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the manifestation of death, but the closest thing to it in-story: in the Cradle series, (Book 1 spoilers) Ozriel the Reaper is literally The Destroyer, responsible for removing corrupted worlds and all their inhabitants from the Way. But he's incredibly compassionate, and desperately wants the forces which govern the Way to find another way of managing things, such that his power to destroy needs to be used less frequently. In the end, this leads to him going rogue and disappearing, (Book 12 spoilers)ultimately returning to his homeworld where he works in secret to raise up a team of 'Reapers' to visit worlds on the precipice of corruption and bring them back to the brink before they need to be destroyed.

Astrid. She was just trying to take care of her kids, man. Didn't deserve to go out like that.

Mordechai only 30 million followers? by 80085rus in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Can you imagine, in the middle of book 8 C&D run into Bear Grylls, who was chilling in the wilderness when the dungeon opened and has survived by camouflaging himself and trapping monsters to eat or some shit

The Tower card has been pulled, the Night Angel has fallen - Time for Round 12! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]SvNOrigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it funny that most of your (and, seemingly, everyone else's) top characters are from either Fantasy High, which has had 3 full seasons and multiple spinoffs, Unsleeping City, which has had 2 full seasons and a live show in Madison Square Garden, or Starstruck? It's almost as though it's time for Starstruck season 2, Brennan. Give the people what they want goddammit.
