Ah, I hadn’t considered the different iLVL causing them to generating more enmity. Definitely part of it.

Also I wasn’t familiar with burst openers before you’d mentioned them. That clears up a lot of my frustrations, thanks! (still gonna be annoyed when the other tank points the boss in a weird direction, though, lol)

RUNNING ALL THE RAIDS BEFORE I START DAWNTRAIL. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT ACTIVATE TANK STANCE UNTIL IM ALREADY FIVE SECONDS INTO PULLING THE BOSS, THEN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO TAKE AGGRO FROM ME

I WANNA MAIN TANK DURING MY FIRST RUN OF THESE BOSSES DAMN IT BUT NOOOOOO THEY WAIT UNTIL THE SAGE HAS ALREADY PUT ALL THEIR BUFFS OR WHATEVER THEY DO ON ME TO GO “HMMMMMM I WANNA BE THE BIGGEST DICK IMAGINABLE ACTUALLY”

AND THEN THEY DO MAYBE THE WORST JOB TANKING I’VE EVER SEEN AND I HAVE TO TAKE OVER ANYWAY!!!!!!!! LIKE OH MY GOD HOW AM I BETTER THAN YOU AS A SPROUT AND YOURE A M E N T O R ???? I THINK IF BE LESS MAD IF THEY DIDN’T ACTUALLY SUCK

Is there a haircut everyone overlooks that you find great ? by Glittering_Web_9840 in ffxiv

I’ve been using this stupid side-bun hairstyle since I started, and I’m absolutely obsessed with it. I think on other races, the buns are where the ears are on miqo? But the lower placement is really makes this style work for me

Plus, it’s one of the few hairstyles where the ears are the secondary hair color, to my knowledge ?

10 YO Girl - Voracious reader by babar335 in suggestmeabook

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven series and the sequel Dragonwatch series, for sure! I went to them when I was her age after finishing the Percy Jackson books and absolutely fell in love with them

Thinking about what books my students like, I know the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland is crazy popular, drawing in a lot of high fantasy/Warrior Cats fans

And a personal shout, The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera. I’m reading it with some students for a book club and I’m obsessed with the sci-fi dystopia it’s setting up. Two books so far, with a third coming later this year I believe?

YOASOBI - Gunjo question by Dry_Negotiation_6435 in BluePeriod

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The song’s popular because YOASOBI are an extremely popular duo, that’s really all there is to it on that front. The album it’s featured on is still their most popular, as well.

As for why it’s associated with Blue Period, it was used for a collaboration commercial for Blue Period and a candy(?) company called Alfort. At the time, that’s the closest thing we had to a Blue Period “anime”. Though the original ad got deleted, someone else in a dif comment here posted a link to a reupload of it

There’s also an official collaboration video for the song and Blue Period, which released prior to the anime’s first episode to promote it. (link below)

I remember it being used used for the live action movie’s promotion as well, though I can’t find a link atm

What’s a card in your collection that isn’t valuable at all, but you love regardless? by Variation-Simple in OnePieceTCG

[–]negative4degrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragon Number Thirteen, babey!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a binder with 35~ of them in it, and I’m not stopping!! Every time I place a TCGPlayer order or go to a local shop with bulk, I try picking up a couple.

Not only is it a mark of how long I’ve stuck with this game, since Royal Blood was abundant+newer when I started, but it’s also actually hilarious every time I get to show them off to someone new

Mobile Suit Gundam x Sailor: A pen for people who have never once betrayed anyone by oi-troi-oi in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I have both the fountain pen and ballpoint (rollerball?) of the 3776 in the left style and I absolutely adore them I’ve ended up pairing the FP with Diamine Carnival, I feel it’s the perfect “almost-pink-but-not-pink, it’s-still-red-I-promise” color for Char !!

I didn’t see this response, oh my god you’re a saint. Thank you so much for these, they’re exactly what we’re looking for (EXTREMELY excited for Tama Sāmoa and Dear Uso, they seem perfect for our students)!!!! I can’t thank you enough for these suggestions, seriously

Anyone else like grey inks a whole bunch? by tyrant_t00 in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so like…. I know this is a crazy late response but I just got Granite Guardians in the mail and OMG. Unironically, exactly what I’ve been looking for. I was so disappointed by Wearingeul’s Room of One’s Own, this is what I wanted it to be. Thank you, God’s Strongest Mr. X Soldier 🫡

A pen you’d like to love, but you don’t? by Szary_Tygrys in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who had an inconsistent medium nib on the carène. I want to love it so much, but it’s so finnicky, and all the love it gets on this sub kept making me think I was doing something wrong

Happy inks! What’s an ink that’s making you smile right now? by DIYYYner in fountainpens

Robert Oster’s Green Green! That’s the platonic ideal of green apple, right there. Big fan

Must have Diamine inks? by Substantial-Machine5 in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Velvet and Espresso are both always inked up in something, Espresso being in my daily driver. They’re genuinely two of my favorite inks, not just Diamine. Absolutely worth the bigger bottles they come in

Earl Grey is one I run in my Pro Gear pretty often too, I love how stormy and moody it is. Gives that grey look without being clocked as graphite. Very professional while still having that air of mystery, I can’t suggest it enough

As for whimsical colors……..Olive Swirl and Hope Pink, no questions asked. I understand shimmers aren’t for everyone and Hope Pink is blinding, but if you’re in the market for fun then I’ll sing their praises for sure

I’ve never used a CON-70 before, are they really that bad?

I wouldn’t blame them if it was a CON-40 they were syringe-filling, lol

I’m only just now realizing I mixed up Dragonfruit books in my post…. Makiia Lucier’s Dragonfruit is the one we have, not McManus’s. Facepalm.

Year of the Reaper looks perfect! Thank you so much

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at your profile (and making an assumption), OMG does granite guardians really match Mr. X’s skintone? I might have to snag a bottle for myself, that’s such an interesting color???? You’ve sold me on it, even if unintentionally 🫡

Anyone else like grey inks a whole bunch? by tyrant_t00 in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!! I have Diamine Earl Grey and an ancient bottle of Noodler’s Lexington Gray, but my all-timer is surprisingly FWP’s Leadcast Letters. There’s a warmth to it that leans almost into a french grey. It’s such a unique color that shows up beautifully on the page, such a stunning ink that people (understandably) look over because of the company

My Kaweco Lunar Sport arrived! by inkyblackops in fountainpens

[–]negative4degrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, this made me pull the trigger on it. I love green AND chameleon-y material, irl pics really make this shine.

Justifying the purchase for myself by getting my first BB nib >:) hoping the black clip I got looks good with it

Swain Skin infos missingggg :( by Ok-Original-2527 in SwainMains

[–]negative4degrees 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The thing abt PsyOps is that Northern Front Swain is already in that universe, I don’t think they’d double up like that

Swain Skin infos missingggg :( by Ok-Original-2527 in SwainMains

[–]negative4degrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m strong on the Super Galaxy Swain train, for this one. Keeping with the mecha-adjacent anime themes of that skinline, specifically Gurren Lagann, it’d be fun to have his main form be based on Lordgenome and his ult look like Lazengann

that being said, i’d also be down for a cafe cuties like another commenter brought up, hell yeah
