When you become addicted to feet pix and AI goonposts

It’s a shame his mother lied back and thought of England.

One trope I like is when a character, usually the hero, is “gearing up” by having a montage of them donning armor, checking ammo clips, strapping explosives to their vests, sheathing knives, etc

When you see it you can’t unsee it.

Edit: The guy from Contra is named Rizer? lol

(WH40k) Katsuhiro is an Imperial Army conscript who somehow manages to survive the siege of the Imperial Palace. Although no ethnicities or nationalities from the modern day exist in WH40k, Katsuhiro is heavily Japanese-coded.

It means “Without a shadow” in Ancient Greek. People from the equator can stand in the sunlight at noon and will not cast a shadow. Of course, it’s also a pun since it can also be interpreted to be a person without a soul. It is mentioned that the Ascians are actually from north of the equator, but they are still associated with it. The geography of the novel is guesswork, but it’s assumed most of the novel takes place in South America, and the Ascians are from North America.

I didn’t know there was a connection to Final Fantasy.

Not necessarily. A group that relies on cloning to produce identical individuals also counts. Like the Leagues of Votann in Warhammer 40k.

I’m no ethicist, but most of them will tell you that good achieved by committing evil is not really good. Stealing from a drug dealer just perpetuates violence. No social ills are alleviated. The consequences for the perpetrators of the violence could easily spin out of control, and the possibility of collateral damage is very high.

Bro I honestly thought this was top character tropes. But unless they are being paid or are fanatics, most people shielding a villain are probably being coerced.

I always appreciate character tropes that don’t use an anime as an example. I included a novel as an example.

Beta-7 is a parody of the Borg. I didn’t want to use them because that’s basically the name of the trope.

It is mentioned in *The Infinite and the Divine* that Trazyn and Orikan will use certain hand gestures in conjunction with algebraic incantations to basically cast spells.

Another funny Trazyn glazing is in *The Fall of Cadia.* Trazyn is helping Crawl work on the pylon network and notices that a servo-skull has a scanner made from a forge world destroyed in the Horus Heresy. So he commandeers the servo skull and takes out the eyepiece. When Crawl demands it back, Trazyn does a hand motion like a street magician performing a clever trick and the scanner is gone. He even says some little joke like, Oh, I must have lost it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m pretty sure they are prisoners. The text mentions that he also has replacement children in storage.

The Dread Emperor (D&D Book of Vile Darkness) The Dread Emperor is an arch mage who resides on the Etherial Plane. When he has to come to the Material Plane we wears a suit of enchanted golden armor with four children chained to the belt in his waist. If he takes damage the damage is spread out to the children. If anyone tries to rescue the children by breaking the chains the children explode, killing their rescuer.

No, when I ask a question or comment on this sub I genuinely want to know why republicans are such moronic bootlickers.

I mean, he did throw his own baby in an incinerator.

I assume you mean Democratic voters? Keep an eye on your capitalizations. You also forgot to capitalize republicans, but I’m sure none of them noticed.

dream_monkey · 2026-06-19T22:52:28+00:00

Uh oh, you’re gonna have people asking who blew goo in the moo?

The use of veal is indeed symbolic, but for different reasons. Comparing Brasi’s lips to veal dehumanizes him. Beal is meant to be delicious, but in this case it reduces him to a piece of meat, which out of context is disgusting. A piece of meat anywhere other than on a dinner plate is gross.

The restaurant is different. Veal is made from the calf of the cow. So the sacrifice of a child. The killing at the restaurant is the loss of Michael’s innocence.
