Black magic. The tempest of fire and ice and thunder that has been with her for as long as she can remember. Her control over it made her a force to be reckoned as a youth, the key to the specialized unit her parents staked their lives on. It has been many years since then. She has lost her strength and her focus to an enemy, clawed it back and reclaimed it in the aftermath, continued to grow with every step of the journey.   Though she has moved on in many ways, she will always return to her roots. —level 90 compendium

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

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

but yes

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

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!

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

ngl all the meta about kinnporsche makes me feel like either im not smart enough for the show (which I refuse to believe) or that I fully just blacked out after watching it (much more plausible)

I think you're right that it's significant, and I think Mori is clever to recognize that Akutagawa is a rook.

Like a rook, Akutagawa is powerful, but generally contained and often undercut by his predictability. However, because he's keenly aware of his own constraints, and because others often aren't (especially regarding variables they've internalized as known), he's able to play into and against his own predictability to paradoxically surprise them.

He moves within the confines of his rigidity to shape outcomes, sometimes more effectively than his more dynamic opponents and peers. Rooks do that too, if you let them.

Me, knowing nothing about chess, probably overthinking the significance of referencing akutagawa in this scene, but is going to look it up later anyways
