Goro Akechi does not listen to Mitski and cry, he blasts the front bottoms and vomits into his bathroom sink

I think in khml Luxu should be a girl. Like an unapologetically feminine and feral girl. Like she has the br name and says as if and knows way too much but goes under the radar because girl it's the best way for Nomura to pull a fast one on us but it won't happen because Nomura is a co-

I don't know if there's any sort of overlap between ds9 fans and interview with the vampire fans but Ziyal is sooo Claudia to me. They would be friends I think (and based purely off vibes and also father daughter parallels Dukat is Lestat... in my mind they're basically the same character. However this does mean I have no idea who Louis would be - the first to come to mind was Sisko but I'm not sure if that really works. Daniel is Garak)

I’ve seen way too many taekookers recently who talk about JK’s success and the support his solo releases received from the company and how they rightly believed it was all deserved then when it comes to Tae there seems to be this mindset that he’s not as talented or his music isn’t as mainstream so his fans should not only be satisfied theyre actually the problem because they think he’s not successful and I just want to let you know I think that’s bull shit and you sound like company stans which is even more ridiculous when you see what a garbage fire it is over there.

Ranking rpgs based on their combat

(this is only ones that i play and i know the older games are hard to compare to the newer games but i just think it’s nice to see the progression)

10: Mass Effect 1-I genuinely love playing this game but the combat really feels clunky and I HATE the overheating mechanic. I understand for lore reasons why it exists but they ditched the idea in the other games so honestly i’m not a fan. Overall it’s fun but the combat feels very annoying to me but i’ll give it grace for being basically as old as me.

9: Diablo 3-So it’s the only diablo game that iv played but honestly i just think the mechanics feel too repetitive. Like genuinely my biggest complaint with it is that i just get too bored with it even with all the powers you eventually can get. It all kinda feels like your doing the same thing over and over again (unless you find some really good combos).

8: Mass Effect 2-it feels a lot better than ME1 and using biotics is a million times better. However the leveling system kinda sucks and i think they should have just stuck with the system they used in ME1. But the fighting feels a lot better, not great but better.

7: Dragon Age Origins-it physically pains me to put it so low but this game is also old. I like the tactics system a lot and the abilities are so fun but basic combat is just very weird and can be super buggy, especially when bigger enemies can still hit you when you move out of the way so it feels like there’s no point at using certain tactics and you just gotta hit it with as much power as you can.

6: Greedfall-I genuinely love the combat in this game but it gets very boring after awhile. You have very limited abilities and honestly bigger fights just get frustrating because it feels like your just waiting for when you can use your abilities again. But it feels very smooth (for the most part).

5: Mass Effect 3-I love that they added being able to jump over certain things and roll away, it makes me feel more engaged in the fights. The biotics in this game are amazing but again, i hate the leveling system. Can they please just bring back the ME1 level system i’m begging them.

4: Dragon Age 2- So i am in fact the da2 combat target audience. I love how fun and flashy it is, i love having big aoes to use on hordes on enemies, i love being able to swing my weapons around and knock over people like bowling pins, it’s so fucking fun. Obviously it’s not like, the best but i genuinely adore it.

3: Mass Effect Andromeda-Unpopular opinion maybe, but i think combat in this game is fantastic. The jumping while fighting is so fucking fun, the biotics are so cool to use and i actually love the leveling system. The weapons are actually really good and overall i really love fighting in this game. If MEA has no fans i’m fucking dead what can i say.

2: Dragon Age Inqusition-I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I love jumping i love all the different abilities different classes get, i’m obsessed with the weapons and armor crafting. It has some of the flashy-ness that i love from DA2 but still has really good combat abilities and tactics.

1: Baldurs Gate 3-It is hard to compare this game to the others because it’s much more recent and it uses a different system than the others, but i think it provides a great example of what an amazing rpg should do. The different classes are so unique and the combat is genuinely so fun and actually makes me think.

[starry-average]

Same character, different font.

1. Blonde hair, red eyes (when Yang is angry, at least)

2. Both are in their respective positions for the main goal of killing up monsters/beating villains. Saving people is just a nice bonus of the job.

3. Explosive hits, explosions to manuever, gauntlets as a weapon.

4. Short temper & mommy issues

5. Both are villainized for their behavior (Yang v Mercury, Bakugou at the Sports Festival)

But Starry, you say, Yang is so nice!

Well, says I, Yang doesn’t have a ranking system that determines how much money she makes and if people like her or not. And I don’t believe she was told she was perfect or the greatest or the best (I’m finshing up S3 now, so I may be wrong) but. Bakugou and Yang, I feel, are extremely similar to each other but they grew up under very different circumstances, especially on the parent front.

I could talk about them more, but I want to get more caught up on RWBY first.

Hear Me Out...

When I say Defund the Police, this is what I mean.

For fiscal year 2023 (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023) New York City paid out 1.45 BILLION (with a b-b-B) in settlements from 13,227 claims and lawsuits against the NYPD. This is ALL directly from the tax payers pocketbooks. In a city that had to cut over five million from HIV funding and over 50 million dollars from the public library system. In a city with the highest cost of living AND the highest unhoused population.

This number is down only slightly from FY 2022, which was 1.56B. While it may look like it's heading in the right direction, the number of claims increased for 2023 from 12,188 for the 2022 FY. So they paid LESS for an increase of over 1,000 claims.

The NYC taxpayers are on the line for these because the department isn't responsible. Their officers are able to do whatever the hell they want for the most part and are not only held accountable administrationally, but the department has a free and clear card.

You want to see excessive force and misconduct claims go down and an actual change in accountability within the police? Make it so those claims and lawsuits have to come from their union. Once they see their dues start to skyrocket (like our car insurance rates) you'll see a massive change. Increase their dues and actually make it so that it doesn't take an actual arrest of an officer to dismiss them from the force. You don't have to get arrested to be fired from any other job, why are the people who are allegedly there to serve and protect us - civil servants - except from this?

One tweet about a political stance an employer doesn't like gets people who are professors, doctors, teachers, cashiers--anyone really-- get fired, but physically assaulting, wrongfully searching, coercing, even killing someone doesn't?

Why are police the exception to the rules they supposedly are supposed to enforce? If I slammed a person's head into the sidewalk., I'd be in jail on felony assault charges, but a cop gets a paid vacation to appease the public and gets to go back to work the next Monday?

That 1.45 billion is in ADDITION to the 5.83 BILLION dollar budget the NYPD had for FY 2023.

Now before you come into my messages and comments with some bootlicker nonsense, I know in a city with over 8 million residents there is going to be more spent on the police department. But, how about we relax with the overtime.

Before y'all even come in my comments with the racist/homophobic comments about several ISOLATED incidents yesterday at the park, remember that white men celebrating a fucking sports team winning a game causes more chaos.

Anyway,

I was at NYC Pride yesterday, and there were more cops than I think I've ever seen at any Pride event they have had. They were flooded in the streets and the subways. They were even riding the subways with us. I wonder what cost all those extra and unneeded officers (who were mostly standing around talking and just giving attitude all day) cost the city.

This isn't to say that police presence shouldn't be at crowd control and safety monitoring events, especially in today's political climate. Still, the fact that the majority of the officers that I encountered yesterday were giving people attitudes and being aggressive in their presence for no reason is astounding. If you can't handle a crowd of people behaving like a crowd of people, maybe you shouldn't have a job that involves dealing with crowds.

That being said, if that money that was taken from the city budget to cover these lawsuits for excessive force, misconduct, and wrongful deaths, wrongful arrests, etc. had to be paid by the police officers directly, not only would we see accountability and liability, we'd see the amount of their crimes go down. Now, if we used that money and funded mentorship programs, anti-recidivism (especially for youth/young adults) community actions, programs to ensure that people's basic needs are being met, job readiness, affordable job training, addiction services, veteran's services, mental healthcare, affordable healthcare, and other community-based programs that could do a world of change if they had the funds) we'd also see a lot of crimes start to diminish as well because the fact of the matter is that a lot of crimes that we tend to associate with urban areas are crimes of poverty. If we help solve the root of the issue, you'll see many of the chain of events start to ebb.

HOLD THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND THE POLICE OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

If you're going to sit here and cry about not all cops or some nonsense, then you should be the first person who would want the "bad apples" out of the picture. If you're a "good cop" you should want the ones who make you look bad and ultimately make your job harder to be held accountable. The good ol' boy culture HAS to end. You want the public to blindly "back the blue" while you literally kill us. I am aware the many officers who try to report misconduct by their coworkers are harassed and threatened, often to the point where they leave the force. Is that what we are supposed to be backing?

AND THEN THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO WANT TO PUT A COP CITY IN QUEENS? Why should tax payers be on the line for 225 MILLION DOLLARS to continue to militarize the police? The price tag could fully fund multiple community-based non-profits for a year or one for multiple years. Make it make sense.

Make them pay where it hurts the most: their wallets.

i’m thinking about how good betsy would be in the cobra kai series again ……

[aclaywrites]

This question was in the og Queries book, except I think their phrase was “use a prostitute” 🙄

My answer is the same: no. I don’t support the sexual exploitation of women. I rolled my eyes at the phrase ‘use a prostitute’, bemused by the Wellesley gals’ use of outdated language, but on second thought it’s rather interesting/infuriating/insulting that we’ve adapted our language to make it seem like this is just a job like any other— a viable career path that’s even empowering— rather than a hell into which women and girls are forced into and trapped. Even if they do choose it, or feel like it’s ‘just’ dancing or being a cam girl, the amazing double standards of the dicks who created and perpetuate this system make it so that even though they use you, they will then make that use proof that you’re now degraded and fit only for this purpose.

Not only would I never use and exploit a woman like this, I think anyone who does should be chemically castrated. How about that?

just thinking about how. like. i bet he felt soooooo cool in these pics. and he was right

[wetcatspellcaster]

just curious after reading you bg3 fics- who became illithid in your rosalie playthrough? It mentions she thought about it but obviously didn’t- was it orpheus himself?

Hey anon!

Thank you for the question. After walking laps of my flat for an hour while on the decision screen, I tadpoled Orpheus :))))))))))))

But what a day to have written a self sacrificing character who is using the tadpole to self medicate and is scared of what she will become once she's no longer receiving supernatural help!! At least her vampire boyfriend has taught her to be selfish and told her he doesn't want to her to become illithid - !!

oh wait, in Pieces, he's not there either :-) (so the only justification is she knows she needs to be human to want to stop him).
