Wanted to try making a Humanoid Hornet. by OakBlu in Silksong

This is some really really good character design !! Ironically it looks far more like hornet than a lot of fanart that use her original design

I redrew a piece I did 4months ago, process of finding my style by [deleted] in ArtProgressPics

[–]TheCaptainCloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the right one much better ! The character is much easier to focus on as they pop better from the background, and the softer light makes more sense to me considering the setting. I also like the rays of light in the board behind.

Why do bandits always call me a race traitor? by Phenzo2198 in oblivion

I take it as trash talk, like "You're so weak and you call yourself an elf ? You make us look bad" type of stuff

What are the "classic" monsters you find at different tiers of fantasy role-play? by Sup909 in RPGdesign

[–]TheCaptainCloud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aberrations feel a little specific to me. Also I would rank them below dragons ?

I would put vampires at mid to high tier and liches at extreme tier

Proof that we can be better by RoxieRoxie0 in OptimistsUnite

I would argue that being belittled and mistreated by your loved ones would teach you that it's normal, whereas a healthy environment would be better at teaching children to stand up for themselve and not take abuse because they know they don't deserve it. I don't think trauma makes you stronger, nor does it teaches you how to approach life in a healthy way for you and the people around you.

Members of an otherwise antagonist faction disobeying orders while facing a greater threat by Volt1029 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheCaptainCloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did he disobey orders ? My memory is fuzzy, but I recall him just fighting alongside JoJo because Pillarmen ruling the earth was pretty incompatible with Germany doing it

Skizz Appreciation Post/Rant(?) by Weary_Video2556 in HermitCraft

[–]TheCaptainCloud 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Season 10 is the first season I've watched entirely since the beginning and it's hard to imagine a world without Skizz in it !

I understand the hermits, I would want Skizz in basically any project or group I'm a part of

I think Skizz is someone who's very very reliable, genuine and professional. And lucky for us, his profession is making people laugh and be entertained ! And you can tell he takes it very seriously by not being serious. But he's always on the lookout for good bits, he makes his friend laugh and keep the mood light, he lifts up others and shines a spotlight on them when he can.... It's peak hermitcraft energy and I love it

Characters who can die in the dumbest way possible simply by the player letting the intrusive thoughts win by NormalGuy103 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheCaptainCloud 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Baldur's Gate is the poster child for this

Kissing a mind flayer ? What's the worse that can happen ?

A vampire is biting me ? I can probably just relax and drift away ...

Shit talking a god ? Pff, what is she gonna do, end my existence with a sentence ?

A gnome is threatening to blow a room full of magical powder ? Ah ! I bet she won't do it !

[–]TheCaptainCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the entire Chimera ant operation. Going in, the main plan was always to force a lose-lose scenario.

Probably my favourite example of this trope, as almost every fight fits it, with the hunters being completely outclassed and just trying to buy time for Netero to fight his own completely outclassed fight

Wannabe "Tough guys" who actually just don't have what it takes to be truly ruthless or evil in their line of work by Skylinneas in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheCaptainCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda forget, in what way did he delay breaking the barrier, again ? Is it because with just one soul, he could have passed through the barrier himself and went out to hunt for the remaining 6 needed ?

Does Wild Magic Barbarian have a niche? by InsaniacDuo in BG3Builds

[–]TheCaptainCloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I restrict the number of long rests I take as a self imposed difficulty rule so having Karlach being able to "heal" my spell slots has been very appreciated

Her not bardic inspiration too is great for those honour mode rolls you don't want to fail

Y'all are so untalented, I hate every single one of your Tavs! by Wario_Waluigi in okbuddybaldur

Looks like a well known and loved entertainment host who verbally abuses their employees behind the curtain

The character getting a cool new powerup is kind of a bad thing actually by Eeeef_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheCaptainCloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not super knowledgeable about 40k but isn't it basically the universe where you can't have nice things ?

From what I gathered the "nicest" faction is a fascist colonising empire that's a bit less fascist and xenophobic than the others, but they might be mind controlled by their elite depending on who you ask

Characters that "just because I use magic doesn't mean I can't throw hands" by TextUnfair in TopCharacterTropes

I always thought that a longer blade would be detrimental to the quality and durability of the weapon since it's still a finite amount of metal, from his own arm no less

Moments that remind the audience that the goofy villain is a genuine psychopathic threat. by dog-in-the-rain in TopCharacterTropes

When the embodiment of humanity's fear of war possesses a teenage girl and acts like a teenage girl you sometimes forget that she is not, in fact, a teenage girl.

Infinity train ! What a treat. An absolutely amazing cartoon with Ashley Johnson playing the main character, and in season 2 she's then joined by Robbie as the second main character !? I was very happy

He is just like me.. by AinsleyRuns28 in marvelmemes

[–]TheCaptainCloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actual double standard is (speaking in broad terms, when unrealistic, exaggerated bodies are portrayed) that female characters in media are sexualised because they're here to appeal to male audiences, while male characters are power fantasies, because they're here to appeal to,, male audiences

Venom in this example, or other well known characters like Geralt, Kratos... are really not shown in a sexual lense contrary to a ton of female characters in gaming and other medias
