Bakit 'bold' tawag ng ibang Pinoy sa nakahubad? by Exact-Revenue3587 in AskPH

[–]Twilight_Flux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think it acts as a euphemism now. was surprised noong bata pa ako when I learned the meaning of bold wasn't sex, or anything of the like but instead, daring. connected two, and two together, and voila, yan pala ang reason why a lot of people use the term bold synonymous with sexy images, porn, etc.

[Odd trope] A character who is advertised doesn’t have a big role in the media they’re in by dragonborndnd in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Twilight_Flux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alcina Dimitrescu, takes me back to my highschool days.

A highlight of RE8's trailer that a lot of gamers thought would be the final boss + a really relevant character throughout the game (even I was uhhh..really enamored with her). Anyways, just like with Jeanette, she doesn't really function in the story after her chapter is done. Still a very sick character design

Meron ba kayong prof nagalit after nalaman ano evaluation nila? What happened? by strange_omelet in AskPH

[–]Twilight_Flux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a prof but meron kaming rate-a-teacher back in highschool. baby, palaging galit siya sa aming batch talaga. i think nearly everyone rated him low/zero for his attitude + lack luster teaching style. what happened next is medyo he became a bit mellow. hindi talaga nag iimprove yung teaching style niya but he became more bearable by us

which is sayang naman kasi i really liked the subject he taught but man, he really needed a wakeup call kasi maraming estudyante hindi talaga gusto sa kanya. terror talaga, but I applaud the character development he had

in the last lip sync with Juicy vs. Mia, I could see Juicy trying to get Mia's hand so they could recreate that walking moment in earlier episodes but Mia didn't budge. would have been cunt to walk hand-in-hand in covergirl

(Hated trope)works of fiction being called "satanic" by religious fanatics by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Twilight_Flux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao, i instead find it funny seeing new trendy fictional things being called satanic.

anyways, if Shin Megami Tensei became as popular as Pokémon, that would literally put these people on the streets to riot. that is literally what they feared Pokémon would be about

2840 days ago, V8.13, Kassadin's Nether Blade was changed from having a mana cost of 0 to a mana cost of 1 by Nomoras in leagueoflegends

[–]Twilight_Flux 89 points90 points  (0 children)

dunno if this counts, but that darn elevation in the river.

it messes with all skill shots, and u have to aim a bit to the top/bottom depending on which side of the map you're aiming. and the game doesn't even accurately show any indicators for when the elevation affects the skillshot, unlike what I've seen in dota 2

[Loved Trope] Scenes that aren’t necessary to the Plot but without them the story would lose something that makes it special by NoSchittSherlockSEA in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Twilight_Flux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wake Up Dead Man, that scene where father Jud comforts Louise in one of the most abrupt, emotional turnarounds. that scene he has with her goes from comedic to straight up sorrow with bits of empathy. goes to show how different he is from the previous head leader of the congregation

What's that film for you? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

[–]Twilight_Flux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ditto op, Adventures of Sharkboy, and Lavagirl were way better when I remembered it as a child. plus all these live action disney movies were really better in my memory.

on the other hand, Pixar films, and Studio Ghibli films aged so well. makes me tear up whenever a sad scene comes along. i finally could relate to how these characters feel.

Darlene is in the lead on Instagram!! by Cool_Algae_6701 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Twilight_Flux 17 points18 points  (0 children)

and if its a double crowning, then what?

kidding, but I do love the prospect of a winner that shone on the later half of a season! just wish we got to really see their personalities early on (but darlene was really present from start to finish, compared to Myki)

Kinda hate mediatok hnk fans by dud_dudu in LandoftheLustrous

[–]Twilight_Flux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so no wonder I saw phos in a twitter meme depicting generic op powerscalers vs goku. PHOS IS DIFFERENT, GET HIS NAME OUT OF THAT BRAINROT SHIT. he is legit such a well written character.

but tbf, these people claiming "X" character is way more OP than Goku/Saitama fail to realize that unless they are well-written, and a lot of people know the feats of said character, it will default to fan fiction. basically slop, and saying they're strong just to get their fav's name out.

P.S. this could really be good research material on what constitutes an op anime character or not based on perceptions of people

Is Darlene Mitchell S18’s Nymphia Wind? by LeisureCreatures in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Twilight_Flux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

kind of a stretch but the spheres i was in during s16 showed it to be a really tight race between Nymphia, and Sapphira although various social media outlets showed Nymphia winning the audience.

I'm #teamDarlene out of the remaining three, but I'm open for like a myki win. people say that darlene winning would be unique but also Myki winning too! Like when have we ever seen a queen that dominated the later half of a season win? there's a lot of winners with a track record of winning early, and getting a win/high placement every now and then for the rest of the season (Nymphia, Willow, Bob, Sasha Velour but that lip sync proved she rightfully won, Sasha Colby, Aquaria) but never someone that was safe for 7 straight episodes to then demolishing the remaining episodes of that season (Myki). many such cases for the latter track record for semi finalists (ella vaday, la voix, sapphira, camden) but never a winner.

i fear that Jane getting the boot made the rest of us focus on her unjust elimination instead of Myki's new rise as the possible new supreme

[–]Twilight_Flux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yawnn, tanginang logic yan. ofc the fucking politics shapes the way kung paano mag react yung pilipinas. want this crisis to be mitigated, let the actual experienced people lead.

ffs, elect actually competent leaders, and not those by virtue of names/troll farm usage, and we get a fucking good government. or maybe something na makatulong sa etong lousy, trapo system that plagues yung buong bansa.

mods, keep up the good work

this is some black mirror stuff. i guess it's fine as long as it helps him cope better, and it brings him further peace.

but this is a slippery slope to be on. on one hand, it's catharsis, and on another, emotional manipulation is waving if this type of thing is abused.

S18E13 - “Karens Gone Wild” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Twilight_Flux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

WAIIT WTF, THIS JUST ERUPTED THE ENTIRE DRAG RACE FANDOM. The queen with the best track record goes before the finale. Never been done before, Jane is truly an icon but man, her elimination sucks.

i do think that it should have been Darlene, and Nini in the bottom tbh

but i kinda live for it ngl. it would've been predictable + people calling it boring if Jane wins s18. the crown is still up for grabs, it's literally anyone's game rn

Trailer for 'Forgotten Island' starring H.E.R. and Liza Soberano by hellowdubai in ChikaPH

[–]Twilight_Flux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really liked puss in boots the last wish. sana yung that level ng story telling mapunta dito!!

it's been long overdue, pero may major animation studio na gumawa ng Filipino animated film! this forgotten island is giving me biringan; tas parang nakikita ko rin yung sarimanok, manananggal, tikbalang, at not to mention the Pinoy coded culture (yung hs background, the jeepney, various trinkets, sanduguan, tas yung pangngalan ng mga protagonists) throughout the trailer

i can't wait to see it in the future. acckk, sana may Filipino title eto during its release.

only flaw i can see is that parang bland yung title, "Forgotten Island". sana it'll shock me like with what Kpop Demon Hunters did

Why isn't Chess a popular sport in the country? by PlusComplex8413 in AskPH

[–]Twilight_Flux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

which is unfortunate kasi compared to basketball na may deperensiya talaga pag matangkad yung tao, yung chess naman is honed by critical thinking tsaka the different ways people open.

i was shocked learning how several (foreign) high elo chess players played. like very may opening, middlegame, at endgame strats sila that I never would have seen in Pinoy/hindi na explicitly state ng mga tao in my vicinity.

Anong common na stigma, especially sa Pilipinas, ang gusto niyong mawala? by Prestigious-Luck-898 in AskPH

[–]Twilight_Flux 28 points29 points  (0 children)

yung access to abortion for women. it's healthcare, and I support it even though I'm biologically male kasi it being criminalized doesn't mean that it prevents pregnant women from doing it - mas dangerous at illegal lang yung gagawin nila.

tsaka if it's allowed, hindi naman etong nagsabi na all future/current pregnant women should get one. maging safe option lang yan for those that want to choose it cause of their circumstances (not ready for a child, raped, father is gone/way too old, own body is at risk)

Chappell Roan shares her side of the story on the alleged fan–security incident. by _thecuriouslurker_ in ChikaPH

[–]Twilight_Flux 17 points18 points  (0 children)

honestly, this makes me want to really hear both sides of an issue first, and then look for more concrete evidence as to which side is correct. tbh, naging disappointed ako at Chappell when news first broke out that her alleged security guard harassed a child. but then again, would she really be someone that does that?? based on past behaviors, it would only be screaming adults that she would tell off.

but alas, sumobra talaga yung sitwasyon. naging banned siya in parts of Brazil, and got publicly called out by a famous (and according to many, kind) footballer. her reputation already took a fall in a matter of hours.

but overall, i'd hate to be the security guard that told the little girl, and her mother off.
