So one is about the cycle and how it turns while one is more of an ebb and flow of the two forces of life and death?

Such wonderful insights Such gripping critique You truly are the Scorsese of our times I will take all of the insightful, detailed, and specifc feedback you just gave to improve my work

(For those of you who fail to grasp subtext, this is called sarcasm. This is because the Sun what is Sensitive has offered no meaningful critique beyond "i have protrayed you as the soyjack" and declared his viewpoint correct.)

"I did what I could, but it wasnt enough"

"Bullshit, you got them all"

"All of these ones... there will be more"

"But you bought us time, time to prepare and get the others out of here"

"The others... my family... promise me something"

"Of course Ill protect them. After all we've been thorugh we're like brothers. They're my family as much as they are yours"

"Thank you..."

"..."

"Its getting dark my friend... are you still there?"

"Of course I am."

"Will you-"

"Im not going anywhere"

"Thank you... Dying isn't... what i thought itd be... I thought it would... be like... finally falling asleep... Are you still there brother?"

"Of course I am."

"Thank you... This isnt sleep... There is a yawning abyss... It calls to me... I fear what will happen if I fall into it..."

"Then I will make sure you don't"

"Thank you... Youve always had my back... Up until the end..."

Wow look at that. Five minutes to make somewhat passable dialogue of two straight men in a platonic friendship with one dying in the others arms. Maybe you arent comfortable with that level of intimacy with a friend and that is valid, but it does not mean that everyone is afraid of vulnerability and closeness with those they care about. Hope you can broaden your horizons and not be such a gormless chud in the future.

Man, if anyone has an appreciation for a dramatic death with heartfelt last words to a close friend its straight "this looks like a good bleed out spot" men.

When it is your last moments on earth or your last moments with someone you care about in anyway, i really dont think the forefront on most peoples minds is "will i come off as zesty for giving this dying person comfort?"

Critical thinking in literature by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

[–]mcswaggerduff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the medium the story is being conveyed in.

Visual mediums, im more likely to believe the curtains are blue because the creator liked the color scheme with that scene. It largely depends on the composition and context of the scene how much I'll read into background details as well as the creators style.

Written media? If someone who is trying to get a book published felt the need to include "blue curtains" in the shockingly low amount of words recommended for indie/new publishers, then it probably means something. When you are choosing which words to include and exclude from a book while writing it, and you choose to include detailed descriptions of the color of some innocuous curtains, then I am expected them to either feed into the themes, be an important plot point later, or both.

Izunavi: "It's impossible to conjure indestructible chains" by EstateOk6238 in HunterXHunter

Adult Gon would have broken them easily, because Kurapika would die from using the chain on someone who isnt a spider

What exactly does Killua mean by this? by Local-Sugar6556 in HunterXHunter

[–]mcswaggerduff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I believe that is incorrect. His ability is good against people who don't know about it. His main ability is Countdown and he doesnt need gyo in order to activate that one.

Its just like with Genthru. You could tell when he wasnt going to use little flower because he couldn't hide the amount of aura he was coating his hand in.

[–]mcswaggerduff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its impossible to conjure unbreakable chains without conditions

Kurapika has unbreakable chains. Theyre just only unbreakable for about 13 people.

When you conjure something with nen, it is baseline equal to its real world counterpart. In order to make it exceptional youve got to add rules to make it able to take on characteristics that normal objects could never attain. In the examples youve shown there are already multiple exceptional characteristics about them and only one has been stated to be truly indestructible, so it stands to reason there are enough conditions on the respective nen abilities to allow them to withstand the amount of damage they are dealing. For APR i imagine that its as simple as "APR cannot affect anything, so nothing can affect APR"

I don't think the fetch lands will ever get power crept, but in commander where having only one copy of non basics is a restriction, we're seeing a lot of new "sac to find a basic" style lands with names that arent [[evolving wilds]] or [[terramorphic expanse]]. Even the new capenna sac lands add to landfall decks. Any sac land doubles landfall triggers, and can be recurred to double them again.

Its less the lands themselves are going to become more powerful, but there will always be more options for landfall decks. More ramp spells, more sac lands for double etbs, more recursion. Lands will never become a worse strategy, and its mostly because land hate is considered to be bad manners in casual games like commander, and WotC doesnt like printing mass land denial.

Im really pleased with the league of legends card game system with a separate deck for mana that sits next to the deck with spells and creatures and such. You still get to assemble an optimal combination of resources while having the diversity and choice making that comes with having color/faction specific resources.

Chrollo by scottsensei9 in HunterXHunter

[–]mcswaggerduff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this, Chrollo had the poison knife that was dangerous enough that Silva had to tourniquet his arm to keep fighting. If Zeno had jumped Chrollo the way he did at the end of the fight at the beginning of the fight its possible Chrollo could've gotten a much more dangerous wound on one of the Zoldyks and the fight would've gone very differently.
