finally made one of these again! :)

this was so funny to make, i missed doing these. i had so many thoughts so i'll put them in the tags as usual hehe

bonus :3

#i imagine nne and tano probably made up chess. when they were bored in their cave one time #maybe not CHESS but some sort of game #whatever it is. it accurately portrays their dysfunctional family when they all played it HFDGH #idk i usually play board games with family so this automatically makes me think of them a Dysfunctional Family #ANYWAYS #top 4 are self explanatory BUT if there was a throw the chess board option kenge would be that #or a cheat option. shupavu would be that #i decided to let nduli goigoi and dogo win! as a treat :)#good for them!#meanwhile janja chungu and tamka don't know what the fuck is going on #reirei kiburi and mzingo are smart enough to win but don't #njano nne and tano are self explanatory lmao #of course CHEEZi has to ask that #get it #lmao #anyway i laughed making this because their pictures look like how they'd react 😭#the lion guard #tlg #tlg outlanders #tlg outlanders memes #god i really did miss making these

MY KING

(source)

#THE CONSULTING CRIMINAL !#in truth he is just incredibly bored; he ascended to such heights of understanding of pure mathematics #that it was said that no man in the scientific press was capable of even critizing it #he is like a mirror to h.olmes in a way; bc just like him; h.olmes is also driven by a deep desire to keep a stimulated mind; why does he d #-do his job as detective? because he is bored. (and arguably amongst other things)#and why was m.oriarty; who has at the same level of intellect as sherlock drawn to him?#bc he was bored. bc no one could reach to the soles of his feet; but -this- peculiar detective.#so its basically like;; everything he does is a big game of chess he plays against h.olmes to k.ill boredom #he doesnt particularly thrive in violence and such either; its exciting when it shows results; when it crumbles h.olmes' calmness #h.olmes wants to solve all crimes; but then u have m.oriarty making it even more difficult for sherlock to do so #he's not even doing it for the sake of being evil; he just wants to face him bc he believes he is the only man whom he could face at #ground level #and thats fascinating to him #thats exciting #he thrives in that intellectual challenge #and as sherlock has taken the righteous path; the he gets to naturally take the other chip; through evil #but his type of evil if the type where he doesn't really care about others? not necessarily at least #he'll move any pawn so long it can make him come closer to his goals (which is pretty evil)#he doesnt 'enjoy' violence; he doesnt thrive in seeing people suffer #to him; its just collateral dmg; so as i said; its a particular type of evil #THE POINT IS;; both are motivated by the same goal ; to solve problems #its just that moriarty solved everything and then? there was nothing else to do #but then theres -this- guy that keeps getting enrichment #and what else could he possibly come up with to vanish his boredom? go against him; its logical #challenge him on his very own field. what will you do this time then?#you've had it easy all this time; let's put the stakes higher h.olmes #;headcanons #headcanons #;m.oriarty #i could talk a lot more but tags-

I've just started watching The Queen's Gambit and it got me wondering: does Iceman play chess? Cause I can totally see it happening

yeah

this section of my wips got preemptively deleted for being boring and “who cares” and not well written

but yes

#where did you think all the chess metaphors in my fics come from #mav comes home several times to ice and Bradley halfway through The Most Intense Game of Chess you’ve ever seen #he turns around and gets back on his bike and goes somewhere else. not worth it.#those two are crazy.#the point of this one was: mav is the only person ice lets see ‘not perfect’ or ‘perfect but in progress’#Mav gets to see icemanification #everyone else just sees iceman #+ money handling and logistics #+ ice having fun with his subordinates before he outranks the possibility of doing so :)#boring; who cares; not well written #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #dragged out of the Dark Google Doc of deleted shit just for you #every time i enter that Google doc i get seasick

Sad to say that despite containing no horse pieces Go is ultimately my favorite correspondence game by a fucking wide margin. I've barely started playing but it's so damn easy to calculate simple exchanges and evaluate board control when a piece on the other side of the board can't just teleport into the position and fuck my entire shit up with 3 forced moves in a row.

#lmao shut up haz #hard to say whether I prefer japanese or chinese rules though. chinese is probably the more interesting game but I'm not good enough fortha #before you say it. yes it is a skill issue that I'm not good at chess but being bad a chess is fucking boring #there's no good handicap mechanism in chess. unless someone knows one I'm unaware of

Defence attorney Klavier should send people to the music dimension, just like how Miles sends people to the chess one

#defence attorney klavier gavin #klavier gavin #ace attorney #miles edgeworth #miles edgeworth investigations #chess dimension #get sent to the music dimension idiot #if it was real itd probably look like the in-game sound/mix board but thats boring #or smth closer to Athena's mechanics #but I still want music dimension #does that mean Simon's mechanics is sight????#like idk seeing thru the taka's eyes

Well, I can’t spontaneously go shopping for a while now. Guess DP forgot to bump another bad guy off when he went time traveling in the Deadpool 2 Deleted Scene.

💛Smoshblr December Asks Day 11💙

What are your top 3 favourite video games and/or your top 3 board/card games?

we're gonna see how old i am, are you ready? i'm a boomer when it comes to technology, so my taste in video games skews older.

i love fate enough that i still play it to this day. like the original. like the one that came out in 2005, yeah.

my number one girl, miss sugar pink liquor liquor lips, is stardew valley, which isn't that old but not exactly new either (my favorite villager is haley and yes i mean that).

and then like. if i'm gonna say a normal and semimodern video game, i'd go with the sims 4, but if i'm honest i'm gonna say champions of norrath (2004). i miss the ps2, she was my friend

#thank u for asking my friend #working through my backlog rn #favorite board/card games include risk uno and chess (special mention of blackjack and texas hold em)#bc i'm the most boring person alive <3 #ask answered #wallpaper inside my heart

I am chess playing villains #1 hater

Play another game. Or at least a different variant of chess.

Like I get it! you're scheming and manipulative! but this is the third family game night that you've had us do a chess tournament, and I kind of prefer sillier games that are a little less heavy on the strategy.

What about cards against humanity? Exploding kittens? hell at this point I'd settle for rock paper scissors.

Play another game!

#ferret thinks #my hatred of chess playing villains is largely preformative #and mostly due to my desire to see villains playing some other games #like chess symbolism can be done very well #but I am quite frankly bored of it #and think about the possible implications of a villain playing connect four #That's a solved game where the first player will always win if both are playing perfectly #so if a villain lets their opponent go first that can imply either cockyness or believing in giving their opponent a fair chance #and if they play first then that implies they're only putting on the performance of a fair game #(because of course a villain who's whole thing is connect four would know how to play perfectly)#not to mention the possibility of them playing imperfectly on purpose #I know villains who play chess are iconic but I really think we should explore other options

I can't believe they apparently introduced Ratio by showing him playing chess alone and taunting himself. What a dork. I actually love him

#I used to do this all the time from the moment I learnt to play chess when I was seven or so to ehm nowadays from time to time #A lot less now than as a child and teen. I used to do it all the time. Nowadays I find it boring xD #I hope for my mental health he won't be as me-coded as he seems to be #Because that would be embarrassing in an almost humiliating way #What do you mean I am so plain and my tastes so typical and easy to cater to #that the gacha game has made at least two characters that fit perfectly my tastes?#And yet there they are. I won't even talk about Jingliu and Jing Yuan nor probably Luocha and even Sunday #Blade was hit after hit and Ratio is‚ while not as much of my taste fiction-wise for now‚ definitely clicking all my irl interests #I got into twitter and saw the chess piece in the video thumbnail and my first thought was 'goodness I sure hope that's not Ratio'#But it was #This is kind of humiliating. I feel like a NPC of a person. I hope you die. I hope we both die xD #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #The only character that comes as close as Blade as being lab-made specifically to suit all my tastes is Jack and that's how it went #I don't even want to talk about what Blade has done to me this year (for good and bad)

#Vincent's character sketch sheets are so cute #It's so obvious (even more) that he is imitating Jack in his hairstyle. He even sports a long braid #There's a mention that he tried to read every one of Gil's favorite books #but that their taste is very different and he always gets bored mid-book. I liked that #I also really really liked that initially he was going to be of frail health #I think he retains that a bit with how he is sleepy most of the time at first #But I in general really like that. Leigh is right. There's so much of chronic illness in general around the children of misfortune #The three of them #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #He always dressed in white and I love that too #And there's the fact that he wears earrings because of Jack confirmed here too #It's also mentioned that whenever he finishes a chess game on the manga he does so (winning) with the queen #Because he is the queen of hearts #And that the author was careful for him and Oscar to move pieces that would make sense for the game to end that way #in that first chess game Oscar and Vince had at the beginning #That was a very cool detail #Vincent used to cough a lot. Also there's this little comic with Elliot which is like...#He sees Cheshire and he is 🥺♥️💕✨ and totally uninterested in Ada as a cat girl #And like #Like #In theory it's because he doesn't care about fake ears but... the guidebook somehow makes it even more clear that Gil and Elliot are gay #Anyway... There's the character sheet of Elliot's mother and I don't know if I had thought of this before #but Yura's sect is actually very like Jack's intention. Bernice (Vernis here) is desperate after losing her son and little brother #And so she gets in Yura's sect thinking she'll be able to laugh together with the dead‚ living and dead reunited in the Abyss

Prethinker and Battly is just "Eating the Chess Pieces When He's Not Looking" at Best.

#i should talk about Battly's relationships with other managers and whether or not they'd be positive or negative #he makes my game freeze every time his attacks hit me #toon: battly n. love #no battly doesn't know how to play chess and thinks it's boring
