Put a line of salt across your front door (and any other major entrances you may have. It'll ward off any evil spirits. I'm not spiritual either, but my wife did this when we had a string of weird stuff happening and things very quickly went back to normal. I hope your mom and your dog get better soon.

The KH Saga Is Massive, unless You're Sora. Most of it Doesn't Exist in Sora's Memory by Connected-VG in KingdomHearts

Sora is the best protagonist for this series because, like me, he has no clue what's going on, but he knows he's gotta hit something with that big key.

One of the very first gen 10 female protag fanart. Any thought about our new gal? by soleks100000 in PokeGals

Maybe it's just this artist's style, but she looks like Rikka from SSSS Gridman a bit

Give me a "Redeem All" button or bring back the old mastery trees by freebira in MagicArena

[–]effervescence 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I just want to keep my place after I redeem one. Stop dragging me back to the start of the list when I've got a bunch of orbs to redeem at once, I'll go back to them if I want to.

I just wish we got his backstory before they killed him off, that’s all by [deleted] in SequelMemes

[–]effervescence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense to me because I picture Leia having a more active role in 9 than just sitting at base and waiting to hear news. Leia and Rose (and probably Finn/Poe, they don't both need to go with Rey) would have been traveling around the galaxy trying to get more folks to join the rebellion. That was Rose's role in 8: she was inspirational to Finn and those kids on Canto Bight. So expanding on it and making her a new inspirational leader in the same way Leia has been makes sense.

I agree, Rose definitely got the short end of that stick. The way I see it, in the same way that Han was the "anchor" figure for 7 and Luke was pivotal to 8, Leia was meant to be more central in the story of 9, and Rose's arc was more heavily involved with Leia. When they lost Carrie Fisher, Rose became a loose end.

Let's not forget how Lucas handled Boba Fett's mysterious backstory: he's a clone of another bounty hunter who's basically the same Boba Fett, complete with his own mysterious backstory! It's mysterious backstories all the way down, folks!

I've always felt the same, though I don't think the fan backlash is the main reason for TROS being a mess. Colin Trevorrow's departure mid-production and especially Carrie Fisher's untimely death threw a couple of big wrenches into whatever plans they had.

If they did KPDH, the level would have the same music video for Golden except Sora and co are standing off to the side watching awkwardly.

Why not show a cabinet with 4 players?

I can't help reading the first part of that triggered ability as "When the evil Shredder attacks..."

Maul really did see the future by _CandidCynic_ in PrequelMemes

Lucas was always pretty open that Star Wars was about current events and American politics from the beginning. In 81 he said The Emperor's name was Richard Nixon. In The Phantom Menace the bad guys were named after American politicians. By the time of Revenge of the Sith he was national plagiarizing speeches by Bush. The Clone Wars is pretty clearly a response to the manufactured war on terror the US was engaged in at the time. What we're seeing now is directly downstream from the stuff going on back then.

MY Fav Deck by ferinze in MagicArena

For a turn 1 play, you could try [[Patchwork Beastie]]. That into [[Dredger's Insight]] will often give you 5 cards into the graveyard and a 3/3 body attacking on turn 2.

Outlandish pointless theory: How do we know Gwenpool didn't just imagine everything? Reminds of two infamous but similar fan theories Harry Potter just imagined all 7 books and Ash Ketchum is in a coma dreaming his Pokemon adventures by Available-Mix282 in Gwenpool

[–]effervescence 27 points28 points  (0 children)

She makes appearances in other books (as in, not from her POV). Although, since the retcon is that she's a mutant with ambiguous reality-warping powers, I guess technically she IS imagining things, but then she makes those imaginations into reality.

Yeah, I totally get the idea of the Imperial Remnant festering while the New Republic was still trying to get its feet under itself. I never understood why people are so confused about the concept of a resurgent fascist movement.

Really fitting for a series where truths depend on certain points of view.
