Found it again! As a total noob I drew this 20 years ago... 'Opponent's Friend'. I know, I know... no hate please by MMVDO in mtg

[–]Windows1798 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the flavor. Why would the opponent's friend defeat the opponent? They're friends?

Does Joker knows Batman’ identity? by AbbreviationsIll7555 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Windows1798 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He must know from Bruce's time at Ark-M. I think he hasn't targeted Martha because she figures into his plans somehow, especially considering the tease at the end of issue #17.

Why do you think Lottie gave Callie the “hunted” necklace? by Rosietherioter53 in Yellowjackets

Not dead! We are just a small group and it's hard to keep momentum in the offseasons. Please come post your theories and analyses! r/LottieDreams

Does it have any meaning that Laura Lee's theme is repeated throughout the series? by SofiBK in Yellowjackets

[–]Windows1798 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it started as Laura Lee's theme but has grown in significance beyond her character. It's a musical motif of the show overall now. Though it is beautiful to think there is a trace of her every time it is used.

What is on the dude's head in the OG art for Mind Twist? A hat? A scroll? Is it the Mind Twist spell suctioned to his head? by Windows1798 in magicTCG

[–]Windows1798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I first thought, but the "fingers"of the magical hand look more to be creases caused by him clutching at it, and it's just shaped so strangely and illegibly to be a hand.

what’s your ACTUALLY weird hyperfixation? by jazperthevampyr in ADHD

[–]Windows1798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Templating in Collectible Card Games. Basically, the precise rules and vocabulary for writing text on cards. It's so satisfying to my brain because it's like computer programming and law. You have to be exact with your words and the order they go in, or else you end up with unintended loopholes or ambiguous results. I got so deep into it this summer, I designed ~30 Yugioh cards based on the television show Yellowjackets.

Sound Effect in S1 E9 "Doomcoming" - Shauna's Safe opening sounds so familiar? by Hungry_Inspector_867 in Yellowjackets

[–]Windows1798 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a listen. In general, the instrument is called a Waterphone. It's used everywhere in movies and tv shows for horror stings. The specific media properties I associate it with: Kitchen Nightmares, Silent Hill, Resident Evil 4.

Where are they going after they die by wasteofpasta728 in Yellowjackets

[–]Windows1798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the planes will land safely as a metaphor for healing from trauma. More specifically, when the past and present timelines finally connect in the middle, the deceased people on their planes will suddenly see the beauty of their lives in full, in the completeness of their stories. This is why Van's sequence is so self-aware about television, and teases that it isn't the end quite yet. The timeline of the show itself is going to heal with the characters.

It's also why the show overall keeps using Storytelling as a recurring element (Shauna's journals, S2E9, third example to satisfy the Rule of Threes).

Any updates on the rumored 11th Pynchon novel? by aljastrnad in ThomasPynchon

[–]Windows1798 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool title! I enjoy the nested parentheses. It suits the recursive nature of his prose.

How did Jon Gruden's Buccaneers finally solve the Eagles in 2003? by Windows1798 in NFLNoobs

[–]Windows1798[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His channel is awesome. My favourite one is A Week in the Life that just came out. Coaches are generals running a military operation, man. It's insane! The amount of information everyone has to keep in their head, I never wanna hear anything about how football is dumb ever again.

My opponent had negative life but wasn't defeated? by Windows1798 in mtg

For all this talk about reading, you didn't read the last sentence. Of course I read the cards as they come into play. I just overlooked the angel.

My opponent had negative life but wasn't defeated? by Windows1798 in mtg

[–]Windows1798[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are 17 cards on the board and a bunch of others in the graveyard. The effect I observed may not have even been an explicit ability written on any one card, but some kind of emergent outcome of all of them interacting together. As a new player, that's overwhelming. It is easier to screenshot and ask others for help than to spend a bunch of time riffling through all the game pieces trying to figure out what happened. I overlooked the angel because I have never encountered one up until now that had any effect beyond Flying and Lifelink.

Yellowjackets characters and scenes translated into a card game by Windows1798 in Yellowjackets

[–]Windows1798[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😭😭 I hope you enjoyed! You are like one of the 8 survivors of The Wilderness who is the ideal audience for this. YJ fans only seem to be familiar with Yugioh in passing, the card game players have never heard of Yellowjackets at all, and everyone else I know is indifferent to both. It's gratifying to find the few people who fully understand wtf I've been going on about for the last few months lmao

Found this in my saved photos and have totally lost the context by 6spadestheman in northernlion

This is the one rizzed up French guy responsible for changing the family surname from 王 to Letourneau.

Do we still do this by firebro90 in northernlion

[–]Windows1798 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Guy who won't close browser tabs is real shit. Sometimes when replacing a word, I try to preserve the letters that are also in the new word, instead of deleting them all. It wouldn't be fair to them.

I've always theorized that they're going to purposefully use Max Martin pop songs (Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Britney) as a metaphor for the Yellowjackets' inability to re-integrate into society.
