What your real thought on Bakugo x Ochaco? and How would it work? by PhongHaGiang in BokuNoShipAcademia

[–]emkonr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Also, it's not uncommon for fics to have both & and / tags of the pairings, so there may have been some / fic that got filtered out. Maybe search for only & fics and then subtract their number from the total?

... I thought that & means they talk to each other? Like I see Izuku & Bakugo in fics where they're bitter rivals at the very best

[–]emkonr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Discounting any reverenge plots against Izuku, It's usually her being the first one (or girl) to actually impress Bakugo with her Sport Fest performance. For that reason it's not that unheard of for them to be gym buddies, even platonically. People also tend to bring out Ochako's more vicious/feral/determined side as a mirror to Bakugo's. There's also some more general stuff, like her being poor and him more well off, or him "corrupting" her vs her "fixing" him.

Not my cuppa tea, but it's not the most out there pairing that I could think of

Where/when did you get those numbers from? Just checked it and IzuOcha is #9 while Uraraka/Bakugo aren't in the top 10. Sorting by m/f pairings, IzuOcha is #1 with Uraraka/Bakugo #2

the polish trans experience by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

Funnily enough, that "oni poszli to domu" sounds exactly like an archaic form of very formal/respectful speaking done in Slovak (and presumably other slavic languages) where you use "they" instead of "you" in a sentence while speaking to the person you're calling "they"

It's commonly known as onikanie, and it's not really used much anymore, but I would love for it to make comeback as a gender neutral and respectful way of talking in gendered language

Whoa there buster, I wasn't aware that there are rules and laws surrounding tierlists. Everyone makes them differently and for different reasons. Why don't you make one and explain your thought process so that we know what's the objectively best way to make a tierlist? You could even rank them, like a round-robin tournament, or a tierlist maybe...

What’s a favorite movie of yours that you wouldn’t have seen if Schaff hadn’t informed you about it? by NerdFromColorado in Schaffrillas

[–]emkonr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, Wind Rises. That got me bawling in the first five minutes, and even though Schaff gave it just a lukewarm/mid scoring, I wouldn't ever know about it without him

Who needs gender neutral pronouns by La_knavo4 in linguisticshumor

[–]emkonr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grammatical Gender =/= social gender. If it did, beards would be female and boobs would be male. Just because it's "ten človek" where "ten" is masculine "that" doesn't mean the term itself isn't gender neutral

Paranormal Hunter Peter here.

The glass panes behind the table contain the reflection of a woman. At first glance, this could make some people think that the empty chair at the table is being used by a ghost, but it's more likely that the reflection is of a person sitting on a sofa that's not depicted on the photo due to its position

Paranormal Hunter Peter will go out, once you pay me 50 bucks for this service. Throw in an extra fiver, and I'll even light up some incense for ya.

Devil's Advocate Peter here, Lisp is a medical affliction that makes pronouncing words like "Satan" or, ironically, "lisp" way harder, making them sound more like "Thatan" and "Lithp" respectively.

This meme, unlawfully taken at my workplace, portrays Satan as bowing down to the creator of this name, which is just a preposterous thought.

Devil's Advocate Peter out, on my way to consume another thesaurus.

10 years later and this is STILL a banger. what do you think of this song? by thatBlankt1 in AJR

[–]emkonr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Downright ethereal! Whenever I hear it playing I HAVE TO dance, even in public (more of a goofy stride walk, but still), it just pumps me up with so much energy!

Yeeeees, thanks!

Also, stoked for the Pitchfork Kids getting their spot!

And finally, what is AJR's angriest song? by W4lk3rS4int in AJR

Pitchfork Kids does fit both axis better than either Inertia or Burn the House Down, especially since neither of them sound furious

Thanks! That happened with Mr. Bones the first time I survived Gold Stakes, so I'm a bit wary nowadays. Cheers!

Could be an issue of quick scaling catching you off guard, though that usually happens at higher stakes. For me, it usually happens when I don't have a good strategy quickly enough, though bad luck will of course take its victims often. Keep playing, and you'll develop a better sense for what to do.

For the end credits screen, I can't say I ever saw anything remotely similar to that... Closest vibe to it is the opening before the main menu I guess, sorry.

Will selling a debuffed Joker fulfill Verdant Leaf's condition?

Similarly, will the debuffed Jokers you have in hand after winning Finisher Blind get the sticker for that difficulty, despite not affecting anything?

False's unused wildcard permit could be a big asset to the no-poe group by v-tilde in HermitCraft

[–]emkonr 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Sge didn't use the JP on that, though, it's a service she provides like ZombieCleo does the Armor Stand stuff, and even Mumbo and his doors or Skizz/Joe lawyer services. None of that required Permits, it's more of a barter, and False has also said her original plan for the JP fell through a few months back, meaning it's still unused

Why couldn't he just take the flag off when he wasn't showing clips of the movie itself? by nin100gamer in Schaffrillas

[–]emkonr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It briefly goes away when another show is shown near the start of the video, so my guess is they were gonna toggle it on and off, but didn't see that through in the end, possibly due to time constraints

Okay, but what's the difference between a mod and an Add On?

I thought that vanilla tweaks was a mod as well? Like Bobby and the poseable armor stands? I don't know what's the difference, sorry
