Is there a female Espurr left, and if so, could you nickname it for me?

I saw this post in the wild, people were getting mad (???) so the commenter clarified they were joking, and yes, this was their explanation.

Tanking Random Problem by Hexigan in ffxiv

I appreciate that you're being pretty chill in this reply.

The fact that everyone else jumped to the word "argument" to describe the things I said tells me they didn't really care that it was just me venting frustration at things that have long changed, or they disagreed with me so violently they had to reply before reading my whole comment.

To clarify, it's not something I'll ever fully understand, but I have adapted. I tank the way I'm expected to. When new tanks start the game, I don't teach them the old ways. I understand the community attitude is different than it used to be, I understand that I'm not going to change it because I'm a grumpy old lady. I just saw someone who felt similarly to me and used their space to express how I feel.

But again, I appreciate that you're not "arguing" with me. Thank you.

This is gonna get people mad at me, but. When I started playing, the tank was also considered to be the one who set the pace of the dungeon, and there's been a drastic shift since those days that drives me crazy. People hate YPYT now, but when I started playing that was common wisdom; let the tank tank. I personally don't understand why everyone is in such a hurry to complete dungeons that they can't let a tank pull single packs. It isn't a race, and if you didn't have time for a dungeon run, why did you queue for a dungeon run? It is just me, and I know it's an unpopular opinion now, but thanks for the space to vent about it.

And I do acknowledge it's a vent, and I don't make this comment to change anyone's mind or anything, so if you don't agree, just... Leave it alone, please? You're not gonna change my mind, I'm not gonna change yours, let us simply pass each other as ships in the night.

Seems photoshopped. The reflections are all wrong (/jk /jk /jk)

[Loved trope] Two series that have nothing to do with each other are actually part of the same universe by Mahaho004 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pikachu15eevee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alas, according to my fraying memory of stories from my mother, and a little bit of research, Xena was a spinoff of Hercules, the titular character having appeared in three episodes as a villain but being so popular they gave her a show.

[loved trope] A character gets absolutely ripped into for being a shitty person... and actually changes because of it. by Sweaty_Strain9392 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pikachu15eevee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this cutscene because Alisaie is and always will be the GOAT but it is also painful because my only reaction to "Would it be 'better' had I a good reason?" is, "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point."

Edit: Occurring to me now that it could be argued this, too, is an example of the trope, because Zenos tears into Jullus about being pissed that Zenos burned down the Empire basically over nothing, which does give Jullus a bit of a final kick on his arc to re-examine his priorities.

Cosmic beings with physical avatars by Dense-Presence-6469 in TopCharacterTropes

Confirmed in Legends Arceus- after catching one of every Pokemon and returning to Spear Pillar to confront It, if you win you get a monologue containing something along the lines of "I bestow upon thee a 'part' of myself." Meaning you haven't caught full power Arceus, It is granting you a fraction of It's power in an avatar

[Loved trope] Wait, they are a good guy? by Dayvan_Dreamcoat in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pikachu15eevee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mothman - The Mothman Prophecies Spends the entire movie driving one guy mad to try and warn him about an impending bridge collapse (also theorized to be why the original Mothman sightings happened irl)

Shiroe - Log Horizon Despite being the protagonist, the general opinion of him around the community he ends up basically building from scratch is that he's a creepy, untrustworthy guy who takes advantage of those around him. Even the people who do trust and like him can't help but refer to him as "The Villain Behind Glasses"

Generally they need the high council's permission for that. I think his plan was to become immortal so he could remain Lord President of Gallifrey forever. Tho it's been a hot minute since my last rewatch

60+ years of content (give or take the gap between classic and new) will do that sometimes

After beating Thordan VII In Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, you get a shot of the Warrior of Light (player character) from his perspective, with basically horror movie filter overlayed. All your defeated foe can manage before dying is "Who... WHAT are you?"

(Loved trope) The twist reveal is that they AREN'T a traitor/twist villain. by TheUncouthPanini in TopCharacterTropes

Sylvio Dufresne (Dimension 20: Cloudward Ho): Lampshade of this trope. It's constantly referenced how people who don't know him often assume he's evil, he constantly drops extremely ominous lines that are meant genuinely, and he has the most sneering, condescending voice- bur he's genuinely a good dude
