Un rescate único

A las ocho horas de la mañana del 9 de enero de 1953 tras el protocolario saludo a la plaza el crucero “USS Columbus” (CA-74) cruzaba la bocana del puerto de Barcelona. El crucero pesado tan solo fue uno de los nueve buques de guerra que componían esta escuadra norteamericana de la Sexta Flota, cuyo buque insignia era el mismo crucero “USS Columbus” y el mando recaía sobre el vicealmirante John…

I would read your zhongxiao codependent yuri Like, I do generally picture them as a vaguely father/son dynamic BUT THAT IS NOT CANON. It's just as much fun to view them through a romantic interpretation! Idk why people can't view the same characters in different kinds of relationships without being weird about it.

Anyway I love your vision and would love to hear more about it lakdjs

THANK U SO MUCH Im not sure if I’m gonna write zx in the future since I’ve tended to be shy about posting my stuff relating to them for over a yr now, but I did post this fic with them last year while trying to get a hold on how to write them (mind the tags it’s pure angst omg). I was too shy to tag it as ship since it didn’t feel shippy enough, which is kind of funny to me in hindsight bc I reread it and am like. Man I think only a zx shipper would write this NUFNVJVJV

Post got kind of lot Im gonna go on a tangent about them under the cut

Honestly my theory for why ppl r very set on the father/son interpretation is everyone’s immediate thought on to how to make the power imbalance between them seem less uncomfortable is to apply a parental interpretation to it. Which is fine ofc, I get it, but the way ppl push it as canon a lot kind of grates on me a little bc they’re usually incredibly passive aggressive and pushy even if u clearly designate ur post as ship OTL

Also not really a fan of the characterizations either since ppl tend to treat Xiao like a moody teenager Zhongli has to reel in (this is hilariously reminiscent of the post I made about how ppl handle scaramouche and nahida a bit ago haha). And idk I just feel kind of polarized about the headcanon overall bc I associate it with people being really uncomfortable and frustrating about zx

I just like how there’s sort of an imbalance to them, some zxs like them being more fluffy and functional but I sort of like it where it’s not like, entirely dysfunctional but I’m prioritizing a specific kind of character study over romance. This tends to be how a lot of my ships go ngl I just sometimes enjoy the intensity/intimacy of romantic feelings thrown into the mix if it makes it interesting but I’m not often interested in a lot of my ships following more standard romance plots(?) I guess? Unless it’s specific ones. Which sounds clinical when I put it like that but this is just bc I am very aromantic NHFBVJVJ

When I say codependency in zhongxiao honestly it’s sort of a theoretical(?) codependency—not sure how to word it? I think Xiao would be really fucked up if he didn’t have Zhongli in his life suddenly but I don’t think his relationship with getting attached to people invokes what people would majorly think of when they think of codependency in a ship I suppose. It’s moreso I just feel Xiao could be at his worst with dehumanizing himself in comparison to other people with Zhongli, because said mental state is driven by how he feels about debt, service, and duty which are very closely tied with devotion and how he would feel about someone he considers his god and leader, as well as someone who saved him

It’s fun this is paired with Zhongli who generally knows how to work with Xiao kind of understands the self destructive depth Xiao’s loyalty/devotion comes with. Also fun they have been around each other for a very long time and Xiao as one of the adepti is familiar with the past I think Zhongli appreciates having around. They work but it’s also a case where Zhongli is in such a position of power over Xiao its kind of very delicate situation that’s hard for both of them to navigate. Which is fun to explore. I esp love contrasting it with other Xiao pairings (actually i think i still have that xiaoven fic up on my ao3 where I tried to convey a specific interpretation of them in a similar exploration vein too)

I totally get why people wouldn’t like it (I feel a lot of my opinions on xiao ships just clash with a lot of fandom consensus so bad all the time And it’s just bc I’m like this I’m not even trying to be contrarian or anything. HELDINCJD) but I just tend to handle shipping in a specific way. It’s not I don’t enjoy fluffy or lighthearted zl and xiao stuff I actually enjoy it a lot I just like there being layers. This makes it feel more impactful when I think about how Zhongli looks out for Xiao in canon or how Xiao gets like textually flustered talking to him (lantern rite 2023 was so tailored to my tastes it’s not even funny)

Top 5 favorite moments/scenes in the Megaman series?

5) Serpent bombing the highway in ZX. For such a cutesy magical girl-esque game, I actually felt the impact of that. Maybe it's the music lol

4) The flashback of Light and Wily in college in MM11. They finally got their backstories confirmed, and we see with our eyes how Wily became the spiteful scientist we came to know. It's almost tragic.

3) Visiting the residential area of Elysium in Legends 2. An eerie, desolate place where you feel the weight of the millennia. The last humans died here.

2) The Zero vs. Sigma flashback in X4. Beautifully animated and utterly brutal - it's jarring to see the cool, friendly Zero attempt to gouge Sigma's eyes out and rip his head off while laughing maniacally.

Z4's ending. No words need to be said.

You haven’t experienced peak autism hyperfixation on something until you have a interest that’s a franchise with multiple iterations and you learn every single thing about each one of them- but among the multiple series you maybe finished like one yet you talk about the others as if you had all the time in the world or the strong interest to go through all of them and not just consume one of them over and over.

Link meeting Model Z

Excerpt from the Chapter:

"A-A Biometal?!"  

 Link exclaimed, confused on how it ended up here and where its Chosen One could be.  

‘Unless…’

“Huh. I’m surprised you know what I am. You’re clearly not of my home world.” The biometal mused, floating down to Link’s level.

A motorcycle frame slider is a protective component attached to the frame of a motorcycle. Its primary purpose is to minimize damage to the motorcycle in the event of a fall or slide. Frame sliders protrude from the sides of the motorcycle and are designed to absorb and distribute impact forces away from the frame, engine, and other critical components, thus reducing the risk of costly repairs and ensuring the rider's safety.

You can typically find motorcycle frame sliders in various motorcycle accessory stores, both online and offline. Many motorcycle manufacturers also offer frame sliders designed specifically for their models. Online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and RevZilla are popular places to buy motorcycle frame sliders, but they might be expensive to shop branded fairings.

As for Auctmarts, we are known as one of the best aftermarket fairings, bodywork, and custom replacement parts providers for motorcycles in Hong Kong. Our expertise lies in offering high-quality aftermarket parts for a wide range of motorcycle brands, ensuring customers can customize and repair their bikes according to their preferences and needs. Auctmarts' reputation for providing top-notch products and excellent customer service makes them a trusted destination for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to enhance or maintain their bikes.

ZxTa's ArisDoublet TSM De-Striped (Outfit)

I love @zx-ta's conversion of the The Sims Medieval ArisDoublet, and decided to try my hand at painting over the doublet stripes, creating a neutral base for recolors.

isaax_ZxTaArisDoubletTSM_Solids contains 24 swatches of various solid colors. isaax_ZxTaArisDoubletTSM_Patterns contains 11 swatches of hand-drawn patterns based on various early 17th century paintings. But I am the most proud to share PSDs for recolors!! Both the original plumbbob buttons and a new style of buttons are available. I hope someone out there can put it to good use!

I used Academia gradients for many of these colors.

Notably lacking damask and brocade among the patterns, as I'm not sure how best to draw those. I may offer some later!

The mesh is not included! Download: Tumblr, or direct to CurseForge.

The YouTubers don't want you know that MM&B is actually one of the best classic series games and is the better of the 2 snes games between it and 7. It's not really that hard of a hard game either. People who act like it's one of the most unforgiving games in the franchise are just bad at Mega Man games.

Each character has their pros and cons (although Bass is definitely easy mode overall), and you can buy upgrades over time to decrease the difficulty. Even a game over doesn't mean all is lost since you can spend the bolts you got in the level you died in to get upgrades. Playing as Mega Man makes bosses easier to defeat because his shots do more damage and the slide is a great and quick way to dodge attacks, but levels are more difficult because he can't double jump or skip entire sections with giant leaps. Bass can, which is why levels are piss easy when you play as him, but bosses are initially tough because his buster does shit damage until you get an upgrade for it. Bass also has Treble boost which lets him fly over entire screens. And people say this game is brutal?

The level design is actually pretty good I think, more fun than half the games in the classic series and far more stimulating than most X series levels. Bosses actually force you to use your brain, even when you have their weaknesses (excluding a few). For the longest time I thought Astro Man was unreasonable for a starter boss but now that I don't totally suck at Mega Man games it was actually possible for me to beat him buster-only within a few tries, and it was satisfying to learn how.

There's no e-tanks, but you do have:

-An ability to increase how much you gain from health and ammo pickups

-An ability to receive less damage

-An ability to increase damage output when you're low on health (very good against bosses)

-Rush search which digs up ammo and health

Which is quite frankly way more forgiving than Mega Man 1, while still not giving you the ability to bypass challenge with a stock of health refills. I think this is great.

The biggest problem with the game is that the King Mechs are very tedious, and sometimes enemy placement is cheap (which is not unique to this game at all lol).

The soundtrack is one of my favorite game osts, the graphics are in mm8's arstyle which is great cause I love how 8 looks, the special weapons are all pretty useful and fun to mess around with, and the robot master designs are totally sick.

I don't give a fuck about the gba version btw as there's literally no reason to play that version. If you use that port as a complaint against this game then you're stupid.

Anyway nobody gives a shit probably but I feel like this game has always been kinda overhated, and its difficulty is way overblown. I would choose this game over 1-3, 5-8, 10, all of the gameboy titles including V, X3, and X5-8. I haven't beaten 11 yet and I don't think it's fair to compare the ZX or Legends games here.

[you-cant-fuck-megaman]

I'm not sure if anyone already asked this yet but I gotta ask what your fav MM game is

tbh this is particularly rough to answer because even the worst megaman game is 50x better than a lot of the schlock that normally gets released. even the "really awful" games like 8 and X7 are still playable. trying to rank favorite megaman games is like trying to find platinum in piles of silver, and the lowest ranking piece is just sterling silver :\\\\\

but i guess if i had to list my IMO it would beeeeeee

CLASSIC: Gr8: 4 > 9 > 7 G00d: 6 > 11 > 10 > 3 OK: 5 > 1 > PU ai'ight: 8 > 2 > &Bass

X: gr8: X > X4 g00d: X3 > X2 > X5 > Command Mission OK: X8 > Xtreme 1/2 ai'ight: X7 > X6

ZX and ZX advent are neet. legends is ai'ight. shanghai.exe is my favorite Battle Network game. i haven't had the opportunity to go through Star Force yet, unfortunately, which is a shame because my friends say it's like being sensually stroked by an attractive person made out of chocolate (SF1) and then kicks you in the teeth (SF2) and then apologizes for it and gives you new teeth (SF3). the only subseries i don't really care for is the Zero series

(i have tried to answer this question four times, btw. tumblr's really gone to hell)

Yesterday I got a acrylic stand of artwork of the “what am I fighting for” scene-which for the record; I think that scene has been very much beaten into the ground as a meme, but I couldn’t pass off getting it bc it be funny to have and someone would easily recognize it’s mega man x if they came to my house lol-and my friend who I was out with who has seen the scene before despite knowing most mega man stuff from me thought it was from an anime adaptation of MMX but I laugh and go “oh no that was in the actual game, it was a animated cutscene”

And then I cry inside knowing we never got a proper anime for any of the platformer games despite the fact MMX felt like it desperately needed one- oh and classic and zx were SUPPOSED to get animes but shit fucking happened that cause them to be scrapped.
