Can you name a game that has anything near as cinematic as HELLDIVERS II?

[essektheylyss]

I think Orym is a fascinating character in a way that is often underappreciated, because he is fundamentally a soldier, he was trained as a soldier, and that's... not a bad thing? It has no moral indication, and certainly doesn't imply that Orym is going dark. In fact, in the current circumstances, Orym acting as a soldier is very important and may actually get them through this in one piece.

I do feel that this aspect of his character is frequently approached in the fandom as an afterthought or even swept under the rug, or flat out viewed as a flaw to be overcome (especially given the overall landscape of military conflict in the real world), but being a trained soldier is not inherently indicative of specific morality or ideology. I think it's a judgment that also gets levied against paladins, because, much like any organized forces in fantasy are equated with modern militaries, fantasy worship is equated with Christianity (sometimes in the guise of 'organized religion' with all of its problematic connotations). It's incredibly black and white, and it doesn't fundamentally make sense in much of Exandria, but in this case especially.

You cannot fundamentally map the Tempest Blades onto any real life military, because the task of the Tempest, and Ashari culture as a whole, is protection against both extraplanar threats and also the malicious or misguided intentions of those on the Material Plane trying to fuck with the elemental planes. This is distinctly different even in universe from, for instance, Caleb, who was trained as an assassin in the name of nationalism, or Yasha, who was trained to be a leader in the name of tribalism.

And these two threats that the Ashari are tasked with resisting are both frequent, credible, and existential! Failing at this task is liable to have major sweeping repercussions for the rest of Exandria! It is highly probable that a soldier with Orym's training is expected to need to make incredibly difficult decisions in defense of the common good at more than one point in their life—decisions that would make every person who laughs at the premise of the trolley problem shit their pants.

And crucially, Orym wants his friends to get out of this. He has in fact already promised his entire life to ensure that they do, because he also fundamentally needs them to be able to do what they came for, without hesitation, because the singular mandate that he has devoted himself to is protecting the Material Realm from extraplanar threats, and regardless of the fact that the rest of them do not have the same training, that is also the task that the Hells have chosen.

If Nana Morri can get the Hells out in one piece, regardless of what choices they make, then their personal risk doesn't matter. I imagine that Orym isn't going to tell them that, because given the scope of the threat, there's not necessarily a guarantee that Morri can make that happen, so the rest of the Hells have to make the choice themselves to take the risk and trust that the others have their backs. And in the end, if Orym has to live with that no matter which way fate plays out, he will. He's already had plenty of practice.

They're at war, and that's how soldiers operate. Because when they're behind enemy lines, it's the only way missions get completed and they have a chance of making it back alive.

# 15 Mha x Dp

Danny is in the MHA he was in Japan he had been exploring when he witness a small green-haired child being chased by other children, Danny follow he watched as the kids ran into a playground and caught the green head boy he watched as they beat them up and no one tried to stop them.

Danny decided to put a stop to it and scared the kids a little, he came up behind the green hair child and slowly let himself become visible he did not bother trying to look like a human Instead he looked more like a corpse with no eyes patches of burnt and decaying skin, and the lightning scar that he let glow, he had sharp teeth and pointy ears with unusually long limbs his fingers turned into claws as he stared down at the children he dropped the temperature and growled.

The children took off running leaving the green kid behind as Danny look down he expect the kid to scream but instead, the kid got this spark in his eyes and started to ask so many questions.

After turning into a more human apererns, Danny learns the child's name is Izuku he was 6 and he had a lot of questions about his quirk and if he was a hero. When Izuku finally calmed down Danny was finally able to ask his questions like where he was, what's a quirk, why were the kids bullying him, and why does he think that he is a hero.

It seems like Izuku was surprised that he did not know about heroes or what a quirk is.

Sonic fandom when Knuckles has an entire epiphany montage where he calls the Whipple family his home: I mean. This could mean anything. Maybe Wade and Knuckles are good friends. Maybe Knuckles is friends with them.

Sonic fandom when Maddie tells a construction worker that the damage Knuckles did was done by her "big kid" so as to not admit that she has alien anthropomorphic animal teenagers living in her house, and then follows that up by calling Knuckles by "our big red friend" to Sonic, with all of this happening after Sonic says he considers Knuckles to be his roommate: OMG Knuckles series confirmed Knuckles Wachowski CANON I cannot believe we won!! He's her kid this is his home he's Sonic's brother!! After the show he gets back to the Wachowski household and gets in sooo much trouble cause Maddie is his mom

sometimes I hate my brother, sometimes he apparently thinks the only thing holding me back from a relationship from Henry Cavill is that he's married

Heed the Call of The Voice | Tiki & Say'ri

@nagavoice

It was like a sailor to the siren's song, the way Say'ri made her way to the looming academy of Garreg Mach, for the sole reason being that somewhere on that campus was Tiki.

It took everything in her power for Say'ri to keep from riding her horse through the entire blueprint of the academy and monastery looking for her friend. Yet, she still withheld and departed from her steed with care at the stables, making sure that her travel companion was well fed before she went through the processes of getting settled in.

As soon as she was shown her dorm room in the nobles quarters and her welcome guide left her alone, Say'ri discarded her bag haphazardly in the confines of her new bedroom and hurried to spot a familiar head of green hair. She had managed to speed-walk her way through not just the marketplace and dining hall, but also the greenhouse, the other dorm halls, and even the library before she finally made her way to the courtyard nearby the classrooms and saw what she had been longing to.

"My Lady!" Say'ri called, and despite her usual effort to conceal her expressions for the sake of being perceived as a collected leader, a grin made its way to her lips and she hurriedly approached Tiki with tears threatening to fall from where they pooled along her eyes. Say'ri gave a short laugh, a burst of an uncommon noise from the usually-eloquent and poised princess. "Did you not swear your word to never leave without me by your side?"

question, how is it less problematic to like camp camp with a whole cult episode with a plethora of holocaust allegories but liking rwby from the same company is bad? coco (character) is based on the runway persona for fashion, not the actual person, and purposefully represents none of the ties to her history. im not sure if that was a joking bad faith comment but adding in something without malicious intent made the rest of your examples also seem less serious by connection

I mean this in the nicest way, I promise. But you must be new if you think I haven't been calling that garbage, ESPECIALLY that episode in particular, out from day one.
