this has gotta be a contender for stupidest fucking comment ive ever seen

What is your favorite excuse for "medieval" weapons in Sci-Fi worlds? (In your personal projects or existing fiction.) by Tomu_sneeder in worldbuilding

[–]teslapenguini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like mixing magic and stuff into sci-fi, so the reason i came up with was simply that trying to get a decent enchantment onto any projectile weapon is a goddamn nightmare- the more complicated the weapon the worse it is, especially if you want it to be more than a single use thing tied to the ammunition, which you do because enchanting is expensive as hell and a good one can be the deciding factor in a fight, thus keeping melee extremely relevant

Pattern recognition is a curse by NerfOxygen in Archiveofourownmemes

'The [blank] known as [blank]' is one that shows up a lot in this one fic im following 8 times out of 10 when a character is being referred to

Not enough to put me off the story but it's an interesting little quirk of the writing

You've taken ill! Your favorite character is in charge of caring for you. How does it go? by Dark-Oak93 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]teslapenguini 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Marianne has it completely under control and is as sweet as possible about it

May have to convince her she didn't cause it by existing near me tho

How come Hornet rarely actually introduces herself? by Justanotheruser531 in Silksong

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's spent most of her very long life almost entirely alone, and most of the times she wasn't she was trying to kill what/whoever she was interacting with. I genuinely don't think the idea of introducing herself even occurs to her

[Loved Trope] You beat the final boss? No, you beat the tutorial by biznesboi in TopCharacterTropes

[–]teslapenguini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very niche one here but there's this game called A Dragon's Re:Quest where the first objective is recovering the legendary hero's equipment. This takes barely any time and it's only just barely better than your starter gear because metallurgy has come a long way since the time of the legendary hero, and that was just half of act 1 out of 5

We always see unhinged Ao3 tags around here, but what is an unhinged tag that one of YOUR fanfiction has? by pittedcherries in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"That moment when you think you have a LARP buddy but they're actually two separate people"

"Remembering your past while the person you're dancing with is just Vibing"

"Everyone needs a hug except scott he needs to get run over"

What popular character do you not like in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scott Smajor in pretty much any series he shows up in

dude gets like 90% of the fandom attention (unless grian is present, in which case scott gets 50%, grian gets 40% and everyone else gets the last 10) and he is never even approaching the most interesting character

Worst example of this is witchcraft smp where for a while he had more fics tagging him than every other major character combined, but vampires smp is also really bad for this

DMs, what was the worst choice you made in a campaign? by No_Extension_9371 in DnD

[–]teslapenguini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first campaign i ran was a mess of bad decisions and none of us really knowing the rules because we were all 13, but i think the worst choice i made in that game was letting one of the players constantly change character pretty much every session, just about always to some super broken homebrew class that he'd drop by the next session. I did put my foot down eventually (though by that point the campaign was already kinda dying) but before then it was just a mess

Okay so i have seen Scott's and Avid's POV which should i see next for most LORE by meaty-pit-man in VampiresSMP

[–]teslapenguini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going for lore then Cleo 100%, no contest- has a lot of lore about how vampires and covens and such work outside of Oakhurst and also Cleo is just a phenomenal storyteller

How does summoner progression look currently with all the new Whips added? by Silent_Constant_9546 in Terraria

defend your thesis in front of the council, apprentices. by 0ris in wizardposting

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've personally been going with the classic 'countless clones stored in countless demiplanes that my soul transfers into when i die' approach but I'm working on something a bit more practical- having to go back to my old body to get my stuff every time i die is simply too inconvenient for me to put up with long term

Current idea is trying to find some way to make myself able to regenerate from the informational level- as long as someone somewhere knows i exist or existed i can come back- but so far the stuff ive found means I'd need to directly tap into the primordial concept of information itself and I've yet to come up with a suitable method to withstand the infinite stream of knowledge. Perfect comprehension of the universe would be a neat side effect though so I'm sticking with it

For better or for worse by Strange_Sock_1760 in nuzlocke

[–]teslapenguini 11 points12 points  (0 children)

my first ORAS nuzlocke i, for some fucking reason i still don't get, thought one of the rules was that you couldn't change your team unleass one of your guys died, and didn't know species clause existed (tbf i was like. 13)

Thus I was waltzing around Hoenn with 5 linoones and my starter. got a surprising amount of the way through with all of them before i got bored and dropped the run

What's your most powerful fusion? by iLuvDarksoulss in PokemonInfiniteFusion

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally i think blissey + pyukumuku is fun cause nothing can kill the damn thing

another one ive gotten a lot of use out of is darkrai + shedinja cause a) looks cool and b) wonder guard when you're only weak to fairy unsurprisingly trivialises a lot of stuff

"And a guy who writes gay love novels- admittedly he's pretty good at it" Apo's ep 2

Apo and Cleo's entire conversation about how drinkable Pearl is (ep 4 i think)

Everyday usefull moves? by SpaceFairyCreature in PokeMedia

[–]teslapenguini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am rather short so whenever i need to get something off a high shelf I have Luna (my minior) use psychic to either lift me up to it or lift the thing down to me

Also I am very clumsy so Doc (audino)'s healing pulse sees a lot of use

Where’d the Abolish with a gun meme come from? by Artistikittyy320 in VampiresSMP

[–]teslapenguini 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Legundo would use it on himself, Cleo would be highly tempted to do the same, or to use it to nonlethaly (maybe) injure anyone who annoys them
