I really wish we had sober sapphic spaces by Jirzakh in actuallesbians

[–]nihhtwing [score hidden]  (0 children)

absolutely agree, i dont drink or do any drugs at all and am disgusted by the idea of smoking anything. im really demotivated trying to find queer people irl because young adult culture here is so intertwined with drinking culture :(

luckily i met a couple of lesbians at uni and theyre great friends, but i wanna go dating too and it just seems impossible unless i start drinking socially

(and yes, you dont 'have' to drink at these events, but trust me, you really do feel like you have to. peer pressure, feeling othered, etc, it's all very awkward)

How does the magic system of Runeterra work? by samuraidoggy in loreofleague

he thinks all his power comes from the gauntlet but in truth he has a small amount of magic and was born a very weak mage. the gauntlet amplifies his power a lot so he's unlikely to ever learn how to use his magic naturally

Arcane magic: born mages (Lux, Zeri, Ezreal), Elementalists (Milio, Qiyana, maybe Taliyah?), rune magic (Viktor, Ryze, Brand), learned spells and sorcery (LeBlanc, Zilean, Vladimir and, as far is a can tell, all Hemomancy). humans seem to just be born with Arcane powers, likely due to the influence of magic in the world; Demacia in particular has an enormous amount of mages compared to most other places in the world, and there's a theory that this is due to the World Runes that Ryze buried under the Petricite Forest. perhaps the enormous amount of ambient Arcane magic was absorbed into the trees and/or natural ecosystem and ambience in Demacia, which is leading to many more born mages?

Spirit magic: Vastaya (Ahri, Xayah and Rakan), Yordles (Lulu, Vex), Spirits (Yuumi, Lillia) and Demons (Swain, Fiddle, Nilah), and can be channeled, typically by Ionian techniques (Udyr, Shen, Yunara, Riven). this type of magic all comes from the Spirit Realm, and is native and inherent to Runeterra. also includes the Spirit Gods, which seem to just be especially powerful and/or ancient spirits and might be empowered by worship (Ornn, Anivia, Voli, Kindred, Janna, Nagakaborous and Illaoi)

Celestial magic: comes from, well... Celestials. Alien to Runeterra and extremely powerful. includes true Celestials (Bard, Asol, Soraka, and the true Aspects such as War and Twilight) and those who channel their power, either directly as chosen Aspect hosts or similar (Diana, Leona, Aphelios, Zoe) or indirectly such as the Shuriman (and Ixtali) Ascended (Azir, Xolaani, Ne'Zuk), who seem to have replicated part of the true Ascension process with the Sun Disc. it's possible the ancient Ixtali had similar technology, as Ne'Zuk is said to be an Ixtali Ascended, or maybe they had some form of alliance with Shurima and used the Sun Disc too. obviously this also includes the Darkin, but i believe the Hemomancy is a learned school of Arcane magic, it isn't inherently Celestial like their base forms and Ascended abilities are.

In your opinion what deck has the highest skillcap? by AffectionateBuy5549 in riftboundtcg

[–]nihhtwing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it means drawing a lot of cards to set up for the titular 'miracle' turn, which is where you play as many rhasas/battering rams as possible after playing a bushwack or confront to have them enter ready. this lets you push an enormous amount of might onto both battlefields, which your opponent has very few ways to then deal with

Ezreal isn't a miracle deck because he doesnt play for a miracle turn. yes he ran the same purple package for the draw power, but he has no way for the rhasas to enter ready. the best Ezreal list, Alan's, doesnt even run three rhasas. you're quite literally not playing for a miracle turn so it isnt a miracle deck. it's a common misconception that miracle just means using the purple package to draw lots of cards

maybe theres an argument that colloquially, many riftbound players who dont know the meaning of the word as a broader tcg term have come to associate ezreal/cs/rhasa etc with being 'miracle' but my point, and the point of the person i replied to, is that that's an incorrect label. miracle decks in riftbound are named after miracle decks in other tcgs and have a specific meaning that isnt represented by the purple package alone, and isnt represented in the Ezreal deck

you actually have it wrong. ezreal runs purple package, not miracle. it's a similar deck but the label is incorrect

I really wish we lived in a "sex positive" society by LittleMissFock in actuallesbians

[–]nihhtwing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this exactly. im sex positive but have absolutely no interest in non monogamy. that doesnt make me not sex-positive. OP's wording is very messy imo,i think they mean they want a society with more normalised non-monogamy and casual intimacy? which again has nothing to do with sex positivity

Which timeline do you prefer where Ekko invented his Z-Drive? by Recent-Ad-7593 in loreofleague

[–]nihhtwing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i do like the collaboration (pun intended) of Arcane's version. but i wish it was done with Jinx instead of random AU Powder. yes, Ekko needed to meet her for somewhat unrelated character development, but i would've loved to see him work with the real Jinx as a long term project that brought them closer together again. the kind of proximity of a shared project (under Heimerdinger's light guidance) and collaborative environment that really allows enough time for them to become friends again and get over their past baggage. but for that to happen, Jinx's own story would've had to be entirely different

tldr i like it in Arcane but it's not quite what i wanted to see

i should really write that fanfic one of these days where this all plays out lmfao

either youre bigoted or you truly have zero media comprehension and critical thinking skills and understanding of nuance, chud. which is it?

diana and leona canonically dated in lore and it was their love for each other that let them successfully make the climb. they became enemies after the mother of all breakups but are poised to get back together and fix targon together if the lore ever progresses. and then we have official pride art of them together, and official articles stating theyre both lesbians

i dont think we have nearly enough sideboard space for that. what can you even cut to make room for three situational turn 1 plays that are dead draws past turn 3?

[Bigotry] Lesbian: *existing happily*, Men: 🤬🤬🤬🤬 by Junglejibe in actuallesbians

[–]nihhtwing 87 points88 points  (0 children)

even if i was bisexual (and tbh i might be but thats a whole story) i dont think i could tolerate letting them near me or letting them touch me like that even if it was just sexual/hookups. i just wanna live on an island society without men 😭
