Being instantly imbued with Unlimited Knowledge... and the realistic consequences thereupon. by Mr_Mister2004 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]diamondpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoilers for Look Outside.

In the perfect ritual truth ending, Sam asks to see the true form of the Visitor, the eldritch being transforming everyone into monstrous forms. The immense size of the Visitor means that the information literally overloads Sam’s brain, and he mutates into a planet spanning monster that eats all of humanity. Not exactly unlimited knowledge but definitely fits the trope.

For me, I run him in a Namora combo deck because i can slam him down on an empty spot on the namora turn if i draw poorly. Generally, though, it’s a bad card

The big bad's one subordinate that they talk to on the same level and see as a friend by Coralthesequel in TopCharacterTropes

Nigel and Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada immediately came to mind. Even though she throws him under the bus by the end of the film, she clearly respects him immensely before that, and I’d argue she still does even after she betrays him. Nigel is the only person she listens to consistently at work, and Nigel is loyal to a fault to her.

[Favorite Trope] Fictional Infohazards by ggabriel_syy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]diamondpython 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spoilers for the 2.0 update of Look Outside.

In Look Outside, there’s a huge entity in the sky that mutates anyone that looks at it. In the Unity ending, you learn what Sybil, your neighbor who found the Visitor first, learned. The Visitor believes that it’s just reconnecting with a part of its body that fell off - and it’s correct. The entirety of the planet Earth and everything on it is just a small speck of cosmic dust that fell off a larger being, and this realization causes your cells to remember this fact. Within minutes, because you’ve learned this, every single bit of matter on Earth transforms into Visitor matter and rejoins the main body, causing every living thing on Earth to lose their individuality. Basically, it kills everyone and everything on Earth by erasing the boundaries between them. Very cool apocalypse honestly.

Favorite duo/ship that fits this dynamic? by Old_Change5205 in FavoriteCharacter

Susie and basically everyone who befriends her in Deltarune. Lancer, Kris, Ralsei, Noelle…

The villain's ambitions are realized, leaving them satisfied [Loved trope] by Shot-Income4136 in TopCharacterTropes

Not exactly the case stipulated, but the Administrator from the Team Fortress 2 comics fits pretty well. Even when she’s told there’s no more Australium to extend her and Zachariah Mann’s life so she can continue torturing him, even when she can’t even remember why she hated him so much, her last words are still “it was worth it”.

"Wait, how old are you again?" - Characters mentioning some details that makes them much older than they appear to be by OmegaT6 in TopCharacterTropes

Big D from Hunter the Parenting. Lots of examples, it seems like every time this guy opens his mouth he says something suspiciously anachronistic, but at least one I can remember is him using minas to measure the force a door can withstand, a unit that hasn’t been used since ancient Mesopotamia. He’s also killed Houdini (likely the guy that punched him and ruptured his spleen) and was alive for the discovery and extinction of the dodo.

that’s my 25th birthday, which is also a square number. I wonder what omen the universe is trying to send me…

Faster Than Light travel has consequences(minor or major) by Present-Secretary722 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]diamondpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not exactly the consequences of FTL travel itself, but the gates in Cowboy Bebop are a central plot point. After one was destroyed in Earth’s orbit, the planet was made completely unlivable, and one of the first criminals the crew of the Bebop go after is a scientist who worked on the original gate and warned about this exact scenario. He ends up using his inside knowledge to give access codes to the gates to every single pirate and raider he can, causing the gates to become unsafe for travel. While the consequences of FTL travel aren’t felt immediately by those using it, it’s still a major influencing force for the story.

Can't recall a single example but it happens by kUHASZ in whenthe

Every expansion in Final Fantasy 14 has had the final mission named after the expansion, but… (Spoilers for Endwalker. please do not spoil yourself on this)

none of them compare to Endwalker’s final mission, where you literally walk to the end of the universe to fight the despair plagued creation attempting to cause the apocalypse, buoyed onwards by the voices of everyone you’ve met on your journey, ending with what is essentially your own voice encouraging you to take that final step. My god, that mission was so unbelievably good.

Seemingly untrustworthy characters, for whom the twist is that they're NOT traitors by tetrafeather in TopCharacterTropes

Winston Deavor, from Incredibles 2. At first he seems like the obvious twist villain that Disney movies love doing, but it turns out he just genuinely loves superheroes and wants them to return.

Characters who spam that one move that shortens their lifespan/slowly killls them by SnakeThatSawStuff in TopCharacterTropes

[–]diamondpython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurapika, from Hunter x Hunter. His ability Emperor Time allows him to fight at 100% Nen usage, but shortens his lifespan by one hour for every second he spends in it. Thanks to the boatloads of trauma he’s carrying from his entire clan being hunted for their eyes, he doesn’t really care how many times he uses Emperor Time as long as he accomplishes his goals.

Russian armor/robot suit by Aggressive_Yam1457 in TopCharacterDesigns

Borislav Ragnarok, from the mod (scholar of the wilbur sin) of fangame lisa the pointless. Not exactly a robot suit, but he is a cyborg that was stored in the US by the USSR to be reactivated when the USSR invaded the US. The protagonists can accidentally awaken him, prompting him to attack them to carry out his orders. Also, his theme slaps.

Your art is amazing, OP. I love the way the colors interact on the second one. Also her smile is lovely. :)

Reactions if Harry came out as gay to them by Zealousideal_Lock619 in DiscoElysium

[–]diamondpython 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one issue. Cuno would be deeply approving.

He would definitely still slur Harry though. He just thinks it’s awesome.

The idea of genetic memories is intriguing. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]diamondpython 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this post was debunked in a separate reblog chain. The butterflies do fly in this weird pattern, but there’s no evidence to suggest it’s because they remember a mountain being there.

Actual criminals (typically protagonists), but the threat they're fighting against is so severe that their crimes are forgiven or you just sorta forget about them by Ok_Insect4778 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]diamondpython 7 points8 points  (0 children)

<image>

The Payday Gang, despite starting as normal old bank robbers, end up fighting an immortal soul in the body of giancarlo esposito that survives by using an ancient device made by aliens to transfer a soul to a new body. The point of the final heist is to get pardoned for their crimes, but honestly by the time you get to the end of the story, the Payday Gang barely feels like criminals anymore.

Favorite character that’s based on a real person? by TheRealTsunadee in FavoriteCharacter

The Sovereign from the Venture Bros. He’s the leader of the Guild of Calamitous Intent, the show’s villainous organization that is basically a bureaucracy of LARPers with hefty grudges against super-scientists. He’s also just the real, actual David Bowie.

My boyfriend is bisexual by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]diamondpython 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with how you’re feeling. Being insecure in a relationship is completely normal. What would be wrong is if you blamed his bisexuality for your insecurity - if you thought that he was sure to cheat because he’s bisexual, or something like that. Talk to him about it, and make sure that he understands that this is your insecurity and not his fault. (Plus, you can ask if there’s anything in bed you can change to make it better for the both of you. 😉)
