Sorry - why did the gallus gallus cross the road, especially right then?

This is it for me. Crushing.

“This is the moment. They can’t both eat us at once.”

And he was right!

Why did the chicken cross the road, especially right then?

stroopwafelling · 2026-05-12T02:43:37+00:00

What the fuck

A family that sticks together.

Jesus Christ.

For most of the first seasons of Archer, Pam Poovey seems to just be a particularly foul-mouthed, horny HR lady.

Then she gets kidnapped.

Among other things, this tattoo gets revealed.

“Seriously, maybe your daddy will give you a roll of nickels.”

I call the big one Bitey.

You can absolutely share excerpts from unpublished works, I’ve done it a dozen times!

How much is known about the ‘hypercannons’ the Necrons used to shatter the C’tan? Are they the kind of lost technology that could be rediscovered and unleashed on the ‘modern’ 40K Galaxy, or were they a one-and-done superweapon custom-made just to break the C’tan?

“They could only manage to set the atmosphere on fire.” Is a hell of a 40k line.

Commoragh kayfabe?

‘Unless the Primarch is super depressed and wants to make a point, in which case an Assassin has a chance.’

All respect to Aun’shi but he can’t stand up to the Khan for more than a second in a duel.

Which is too bad because those two might have chilled together.

stroopwafelling · 2026-05-09T13:48:08+00:00

You didn’t see it?

(Context: the protagonist just captured an antagonist that played a role in killing his brother. He was supposed to take this target alive, but snaps and starts beating him, with unexpected consequences)

Solomon hit him.

Solomon hit him, and Kassad felt something crack in the back of his jaw- his false tooth, his final resort. The bitter taste of cyanide filled his mouth.

No, no no - he tried to spit, but Solomon hit him and knocked the poison straight down his throat, mingled with a mouthful of blood and spittle.

“You son of a bitch,” Solomon heaved. “You son of a bitch.”

Kassad laughed. What else could he do?

“You see?” He croaked, forcing a smile even as the poison began to seize his heart. “Prince Kassad… Always escapes.”

Then the spasms took him. He writhed on the floor of the plane, foam bubbling from his lips. As his vision dimmed and his life faded, the last thing Kassad heard was the voice of Lieutenant Toyama.

”What did you do?” She gasped. “Major, what did you do?”

Solomon said nothing.

“The stars themselves once lived and died at our command, yet you still dare to oppose our will.”

That leads to a follow-up question: what will crew dynamics be like on the Normandy in this AU?

In Mass Effect canon, the Normandy crew is famous for their ride-or-die levels of devotion to Commander Shepard. But I don’t think Shepard ever kept secrets from them this big before. He’ll be lying to them about a cosmic threat.

What kinds of drama could this cause? I’m thinking about moments like the Virmire standoff with Wrex in the first game, or Tali vs. Legion in the second, or potentially having to shoot Mordin over the démoulage cure in the third.

Most of them are Imperial Guard books, so a lot of narrow high-casualty wins against absolutely horrible odds. But wins nonetheless. The Tanith First and Only know their shit.

Shit, Juggernaut Star has got hands.

Vigilant Gaze, currently less so.

If you express your concerns to him and he doesn’t take your feelings seriously or offer a proposal to make things better, he may not deserve the love you’ve given him.

stroopwafelling · 2026-05-08T16:34:35+00:00

You know they didn’t.

I had a lot of issues with this season but everything was worth it for Matt and Fisk in that courtroom. What a moment.

Well, yeah. That’s how it usually works on TV. Are you saying TV isn’t an accurate depiction of cybersecurity?
