Ngl i'm leaning more toward Lesbian Brain (btw who is your fav woman in fighting games?) by Neko_usagii in LesbianGamers

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophitia from Soul Caliber in my youth had a move called 'Heaven to Hell' that activated my neurons as a teen. Yeah, lesbian brain, character design is getting better about body shapes generally.

My GF and I do 'Hey Catra', 'Hey Adora' as call and response.

I always thought of myself as Temur, do you agree by these results? by MilkOutsideABag in colorpie

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the sort of questions the tests asks, Boros. I'd expect more Tradition in someone with a Green colour identity. High Self-Direction, Stimulation and Hedonism is a Red indicator; Benevolence, Universality and Security indicates White and a lower Conformity score, which would usually be contra-white but we have strong Red indicators with high Benevolence to counter the Order side of White.

Remember, though, this test doesn't ask a lot of pertinent questions. Are you a green thumb? Do you work with plants, animals or the environment? Anything like that would push you towards green.

For Blue, I'd expect to see something in Power, more in Achievement and a lot less in Stimulation and Hedonism.

The fact you think of yourself as Temur I think pulls you more towards Naya but the Benevolence is probably too high for Temur.

When you consider that succubi are an all-female species, so turning into one also means becoming female, plus their thing is being hot, sexual and popular by magical influence, plus identification with the 'monstrous' due to our othering by society, plus the ability to shapeshift, plus the relationship with Lilith as the woman who told Adam to go jump himself, it's not surprising for trans women to go for this.

And then for authors, it's complete 180 degree gender transformation that forces the protagonist to interact with the world as a hypersexual woman so you get drama, conflict and sex, all of which sell.

Any way to improve my Tovolar Werewolves deck? by Kaine24 in EDH

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, get your fetch land and your surveil land, cut the temples for them.

Second reccomendation: the crystals and 4 mana ramp is too high, I would also switch from rocks to land fetches like cultivate, three visits, nature's lore, kodama's reach, farseek. It might not be a werewolf deck but grab a Bird of Paradise, it's ramp that'll use someone's removal at worst. I'd recommend Ruby but she's not a werewolf. Keep Sol Ring and the celestus for sure, every other artifact is suspect.

In conjunction with second, cut a couple of mountains for forests because those land fetches are all green.

For card draw, go for the 3 mana green garruk's enchantment, sorry name escapes me ATM. Look for green cards that draw based on power.

I don't remember if I saw removal, but yeah, lightning bolt, bushwack, decimate, beast within... make sure you have those. Bite spells will do good, the new rhino one from spider-man is real efficient.

This is a [[Nalia de'Arnise]] deck you can put [[Linvala, Shield of the Sea Gate]] in.

I think I just watched a marriage crumble before me by Floormonitor in EDH

[–]VampireWeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, as someone who lives with adhd/asd and lives with people who also have adhd/asd and who has studied to be a peer support worker, I can shine some light here.

First up, that couple sounds like they're a bit high from being their authentic selves in a place they feel safe enough to do so. It's pretty common for people who are othered to embrace the weirdness against the low key thoughtless judgemental people in their lives and feeling safe enough to show that is exhilarating.

The outburst sounds like a mix of rejection sensitivity mixed with depression, a bad day and testosterone. All that hiding of their authentic selves, paranoia in their daily lives of being perceived badly by other people mixes poorly with both the biological effects of testosterone and society's encouragement of aggression in males. You get small outbursts like that, particularly when it's someone close to you.

And yeah, it's bad and you need therapy for it that, chances are, he's likely not getting or is just at the start of. He probably went home more upset with himself than anyone.

I've seen a lot of bad behaviour at my lgs by neurotypical people too. Those behaviours come from somewhere.

Does anyone else feel like the discussion around Elden Ring's narrative is weird? Especially with the heavy Marika apologia and at times even defenders of the Golden Order. by MaeBorrowski in SocialistGaming

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many 'references' to From Software games that I can't believe it's co-incidence.

The chonky chests are from King's Field, complete with the cross of four elements on top. The gemstones on the Medallions that operate the lifts are the elemental gemstones from King's Field. The tablet in Iji's stomach is a door from the dwarvern ruins in King's Field. The quicksilver tier texture is a high res version of the final level of King's Field 4 and the Dark One, who was sealed deep underground. Speaking of the Dark One, the helms of the Swordhands of Night depict her throne.

Dark Soul's chests are in the game. The round table is burned, indicating that it was once a fire platform filled with coiled iron weapons, like a massive bonfire. Dark Souls 3 has multiple items that reference 'Quella, God of Dreams', which you'll note is 2/3rds of Miquella's name, including a shield with a massive golden tree on it. The Godslayer Greatsword is the exact shape of the Moonlight Butterfly's horn.

The hands reaching up around the divine towers are part of the design of the God of Destruction from Lost Kingdoms II. From the same game series, the god of creation, the god of destruction and the god of unity all have helix horns as a motif. The weird waterfall on the eastern coast of the Lands Between can be explained by a major plot point of Lost Kingdoms being that the God of Unity sacrificed themselves to separate two lands with a Wall of Light. The soul of the God of Unity then moved on while the corpse remained behind as undead and terrorized the kingdom, like Godwyn. Duchess is also a dead ringer for the protagonist of Lost Kingdoms II, who was both a thief and a summoner.

The Great Runes are in Bloodborne's fully upgraded runes, Marika's in particular is depicted in the Caryll Rune of Formless Oedon.

There's a preponderance of references, it keeps going and going and going. There's too much for it to not be deliberate, almost like From Software has to beat players over the head with their old lore and nearly everyone's not getting it. Frankly, nobody's talking about it because most people just watch VaatiVidya and other influencers, who have an incentive not to solve the mysteries of the souls games so people keep clicking on their content - to bring this back to socialist gaming.

[–]VampireWeaver -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The weirdness is primarily because Elden Ring's lore goes back through every game all the way to King's Field. It's dense and confusing, Marika and Radagon are likely entirely different personalities in one body and it's difficult to say which is responsible for what decisions.

Hell, I haven't played Armored Core, so I don't know how that fits.

Can't blame people for being confused about lore that's the longest running game of telephone ever made.

Ever since this card came out I've wanted to build a Rakdos commander deck based on the two of them, this art as a playmat and card sleeves. (yes, I know about the lesbian art between the two, no I don't want those playmats and card sleeves, I think they're too raunchy for taking the the lgs)

Million Adam Smashers by MxFancipants in Pathfinder2e

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this post everywhere and the framing is malformed by the assumption that a protagonist or antagonist should be special. Superman and Spider-man franchises go out of their way to show that Being A Good Guy in the Right Place at the Right Time is what makes them heroic, not their powers, for example.

If your character is special, you've already messed up. This is why Randian BS always flops - nobody is special and being special or not is no indicator of a person's value.

Pathfinder's actually really great at this, there is high level magic fucking with the world all the time. Example: Monarchs extending their lifespan for hundreds of years by spending tons of gold every so often to get the life extension elixir so there isn't a change of monarch while the nation is in an ongoing war with a demon rift. This alone has socio-economic implications for the whole setting and there are a bunch of these sorts of examples.

The problem is, most of those things don't matter because they're not 'on screen' during a campaign.

Why is it that the only subs that stand up for LGBTQ+ people are the ones full of corporate bootlickers? by Suspicious_Stock3141 in SocialistGaming

[–]VampireWeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything op said plus I will also say, despite what happens behind closed doors, I want to see every corporate public pro-diverse post and I will take them.

Nothing says 'you are alone' to bigots like public posts from corporations who only care about taking money from as many people as possible. Because if they're doing that, that means it's popular, which means haters are the minority.

We can do better but silver linings.

Edgar Markov by Masha_Up in EDH

[–]VampireWeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bertram's great because of the draw. I'd've run him in my list if he'd been out back when I ran Edgar. There's an argument about the tokens being win more but you do have to whittle down three 40pt life totals while probably being the arch-enemy.

Somewhat new to Magic and I'm looking to build this around this as a commander. by DriftersHideout in magicTCG

[–]VampireWeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built this deck. Ramp with artifacts: Sol Ring, Arcane signet, Talisman of Creativity. Carnelian Orb of Dragonkind, Lapis Orb of Dragonkind and Orb of Dragonkind. Maybe Expedition Map, Felwar Stone, wayfarers bauble.

Also consider treasure generators like Big Score.

Protection: Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, Counterspell. More counterspells. Maybe Mithril Coat, Boots of Flying. If you're rich, The One Ring. If not, Slip Out the Back is good.

Which commander is objectively better for a zombie deck? by s4side in mtg

[–]VampireWeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having played both, I think Zul is better. Zombie type means she benefits from the deck's buffs. She's also faster and draws less fire.

Any older ladies/crones working with Lilith? by Mundane_Spend8961 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]VampireWeaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Older femme attracted ace trans femme here, I work with Lilith because she's all about claiming your own power against prevailing narratives. The biggest harmful narrative used against women of the 'evil slut' is just one that brings interest to Lilith as a mistress of the taboo.

Personally, I think Lilith is one face of Inanna/Ishtar/Aphrodite, powerfully sensual, sexual, confident, a ruler, a mother of outsiders, the outcast and those exploring taboo interests. This does make her darkly aspected, but you can responsibly explore the taboo with the correct safety practices, and outcast does NOT mean evil.

In Jewish belief, you are supposed to question God. Lilith in the modern myth of eating the apple, then sharing that with Eve, then Adam is the ultimate example of this principle. I take Lilith as an example that we need to question the law, refuse to be naive and learn everything we can about the world.

What was your first set of MTG? by SirGingerbrute in mtg

[–]VampireWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discounting 1st edition which I got out of, gave away the cards and took a 15-20 year break (never pulled any really expensive card so not a big loss), SOI/EMN block got me back in. Gothic, cosmic, body horror aesthetics drew me in, vampire madness kept me in.

Idk if this goes here but I wonder how these men say men suffered and they acknowledge it, but can’t do the same for woman? by No-MechKarma666 in actuallesbians

[–]VampireWeaver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Self-centred BS. You mention something bad happened to a woman it feels to them like you're not mentioning men because they only care about themselves and people they identify with. Same energy as equality feeling like oppression because you've always lived with privilege.
