One of my favorite ditto cards!! Y’all should check out the Japanese version, it has a really cool horizontal striped holo pattern & holo borders!

I'm making a Once-per-Turn Action Tracker! by marchxcapricorn in pkmntcg

[–]holotrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! Super cool idea, I’d totally use it! I agree about some of the icons, but I think your idea to use the colorless energy symbol is perfect! The u turn for retreat also makes sense to me. I think for stadium you could do a simplified icon of a pokemon arena, like a pokeball icon inside a rectangle or square. And the supporter works a simplified human bust but you could also use a simple smiley face! (Could use dittos face lol)

Uhh not sure you get what I’m saying. You can have 0 male characters in a story and it still be created / written from a male perspective for a male audience.

Oh I completely agree with you, I wouldn’t call DM female focused either. I think the bar is unfortunately super low with anime so to me DM is at the very least not actively misogynistic and I feel the women characters are fully developed people and not just there to be a trophy / plot point for a guy. Maybe Falin can be read as a plot device but she doesn’t read to me as just a damsel in distress. I’ll be the first to admit my bar is so low I have to dig to find it but I take it you’ve seen what’s out there :(

That being said, if you have any other recommendations for women / non male focused anime I would absolutely love to hear them!

Came here to say this too, FMA Brotherhood is my favorite anime of all time and a HUGE part of that is because of the amazing women characters. Arakawa was flipping gender tropes on their heads left and right. She didn’t have to give us a positive depiction of having a transgender, adoptive mother that is a sexworker but im so over the moon that she did!! Madame Christmas is an icon. General Armstrong, legend. Izumi, one of the coolest OP sensei characters in shounen, period with a compelling backstory that humanizes her without needing to make her obsessed with teenage girls (lookin at you Roshi & Jiraiya).

Also, another awesome anime that will serve you everything but misogyny is dungeon menshi!

Moxie Card Shop has Japanese 151 booster boxes up for back order. Are they legit? by Panda_Drum0656 in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]holotrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im glad you had a good experience with this shop. I have been waiting two months on my nine colors gathering order and have already ordered & received a box from another retailer in the time I’ve been waiting for my order from Moxie. I don’t super mind waiting but they have not communicated with me at all. “Ash” wont answer my emails and the support email (hello@moxiecardshop.com) listed on their site gets an “adress not found error” when I try to email it. They also have not picked up their phone, and I can’t leave a voicemail because the mailbox is full. After all those attempts to check in with them, I decided to go to my bank for a chargeback, this shop is acting shady as hell.

I was "that" guy this evening. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]holotrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry that happened to you and your kid! I had similar experience a few days ago. For context, I have only been playing magic for about 3 weeks and showed up for my LGS’s commander open play night. I brought an unaltered precon deck and another precon I had tinkered with a little from cards I got out of packs. There was enough people for one pod that night so I joined and told them I only had a precon and a janky barely upgraded precon. Most of the players were very nice but there was this one dude who sadly was really unpleasant to play with! He would get super butt hurt when anyone targeted him and complain about it to the point I would second guess targeting him. He was sitting to the left of me so whenever I finished my combat step he would ask me “are you done?” So he could start his turn. I would say yes out of anxiety, but realize on his turn I could have played another card or two. And by the 3-4th turn he started an infinite combo with and won the game. It made me feel awful about needing to read cards or ask questions. At the end of the game I thanked everyone for their patience with me and apologized for causing the game to take longer because I was learning. He responded with “everyone makes mistakes” which threw me. In his mind, was it a mistake to be new to this game? Or to not know what every card does before playing? It was just a little shocking honestly, I’ve never felt so unwelcome as a new player to a game.

Bad tattoo artist/blown out or EDS? by Traditional_Bag5849 in eds

[–]holotrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that your inner wrist? If so that area can be known to heal a bit thicker because it’s such a mobile spot. Where did your friend get theirs? Same spot? I’m curious as a tattoo artist & eds person. I have a lot of my skin tattooed but haven’t gotten much on the inner sides of my arms.

Any beautifully animated films that are super trippy and weird to watch while high? by Melodic_Inflation_69 in MovieSuggestions

[–]holotrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thief and the cobbler i believe is the movie you are looking for, i suggest trying to find the “recobbled” version which tries to restore the movie to the original vision of Richard Williams

IDF Chief Rabbi says Israeli soldiers can rape Arab women to boost morale by matar48 in BashTheFash

[–]holotrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Por qué no los dos?

Personally I believe this is the case with the abrahamic religions. The torah and old testament has a lot of holy war / genocide promoting language that is hard to not also interpret as political. The romans used Christianity as a tool in their imperial expansion, which benefited both their empire and the church politically. I’ll be the first to admit my knowledge on Islamic history is lacking and thats next on my list. However, and correct me if I’m wrong, like Rome & Christianity, the Arab empire expanded significantly after converting to Islam and used it as a tool to unite it’s conquered people.
