Tonight I learned that my 20 yr old partner has never played chess and doesn't know how to play chess. This is mind boggling to me. They claim its not weird for people to not know anything about chess so I. I need to see. Please.

Okay so, I made a mistake in not elaborating the meaning of the options. You do not have to be good or know what you are doing in the slightest to pick that you have played before. The middle three options are for your understanding of the game having never played it at all. The reason there's a percentage on the last option is because my partner made a tumblr so they could pick it because they think they are hilarious.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

A Game Of Chess

-> Lorenzo Berkshire x reader

in which Enzo and Y/n play a game of chess while the boy won't stop guessing who Y/n fancy (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

masterlist (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

(a follow is very much appreciated 💕)

"Checkmate!" Lorenzo chuckled out. Him and the h/c-haired girl had been challenging each other in a game of chess for almost an hour now, and each time they end a round, He wins. "Again?! Enzo are you some chess geek?" Y/n crossed her arms while the boy opposite her shrugged, "No Way- who knew one of the popular Slytherin boys — Lorenzo Berkshire, was so interested in muggle games!"

This made Enzo scoffed, "Y/n, may I remind you who introduced this game to me?" The boy pointed a finger towards her, while his eyebrows frowned. "Jeez, whoever likes you sure is unlucky..." Enzo trailed off, hoping for a reaction out of her.

Y/n placed the back of her hand on her forehead dramatically, "Lorenzo Berkshire! How could you! I'm so hurt!" The said boy looked at her with a deadpan look till they both burst out with laughter. “You know what, it's fine! because I'm sure the person I like will like me the way I am!”

"Oh?"  The boy suddenly perked up with curiosity, “would you mind sharing who the person you like is?" As he leaned closer, the girl couldn’t help but look away as the person she adores was sitting right in front of her, ruffling his soft brown hair. She dreaded the day she would confess, knowing that he would rather stay as close friends than… you know. She wouldn’t want to ruin their friendship. “you’ll never guess!” Y/n teased.

“Draco Malfoy?” Lorenzo thought for a moment, who would she fancy? It should be someone with class, elegance? Or does she like bullies? Bad boys? Y/n’s eyes widened at the thought of Draco and her hand in hand, “Okay Lorenzo, what the FUCK?! Out of everyone why Malfoy?” “Could it be Mattheo instead? If it was, wow, I didn’t think you’d be that kind of girl.” Enzo retorted, a hint of hurt in his voice.

“At the point you would say I like Harry Potter too huh?” “the chosen one? Okay, that’s unexpected.” “GOSH IT WAS A JOKE???”

“Theodore Nott.” Berkshire referred his best friend by his full name, thinking that it could be either Theo or Blaise. Though…. It could also be himself. god he wished that.

Y/n could only scoff at the poor guesses, they were all his close friends so why wouldn't he take the hint that the person she likes could have been him? "absolutely not! the guy I like is sweet to me, keeps me company when I break down... he's not much of a rebel... at least I think so." the words slipped out of her mouth, as she smiled thinking about the times Enzo had comforted her when she failed her Charms and Herbology tests.

In that moment, Lorenzo shifted the chess board away from them, taking its place on the couch of the Slytherin common room. he scooted closer to her, throwing his left arm behind her, "what are the chances that it could be me?" he asked with a slur in his words. With a face full of red, Y/n stuttered, “n-not even close!” She wouldn’t want their friendship to be ruined so soon.

Lorenzo leaned closer, their lips inches apart from one another. “am I close now?” The said boy whispered, lips forming a smile after seeing her reaction. "You know, Y/n, I like-like you." he confessed, watching the girls lips like a predator eyeing for it's prey. Oh Merlin how he'd want to place them against his.

"you do?" Y/n chimed, thinking it was a friendly prank. Lorenzo chuckled, "since our third year at hogwarts, yeah."

this made Y/n flash a sweet smile at him before she threw both her arm around his neck and leaned towards Enzo to close the gap between their lips that should've been closed long ago.

"Ew, Berkshire get a room will ya?" Malfoy hissed behind them, after watching the two snog each other.

"fuck off, Malfoy"

Eloise is really, really bad at chess😐

(this is a scene from my fic & I typed it up here:)

"Milady, you cannot send him there! He will surely die a terrible death, and Murdoch is our finest knight!"

Eloise blinked her bleary eyes at the wizarding chess board, not really comprehending what the tiny pieces were yelling at her. The one that seemed to be doing the most talking was gesticulating wildly and jumping up and down, trying to get her attention. When she had taken the pieces out of the box Sebastian had lent her, they had immediately recognized her and started protesting, appealing to 'their benevolent lord's innate sense of goodness', but their protests fell on deaf ears. Eloise was positive that Sebastian took some sort of perverse pleasure at watching her lose at chess.

In the background, she could hear Ominis's laughter echoing through the Undercroft. His own pieces were quite happy at the moment, preening and occasionally sending rude gestures towards Eloise's, much to Sebastian's amusement. He was narrating their every action to Ominis, whose laughter was egging on his soldiers even more.

"Eloise," Sebastian said, propping his chin up by one hand (entirely too amused, infuriatingly so, why did he have to look so handsome when she was trying to be annoyed at him?), "maybe you should move the knight..." his other hand pointed to an empty space on the board, "...here."

This declaration caused an uproar. There were shouts of betrayal, tiny pieces gesticulating wildly to the carnage surrounding the board as they shouted in vain. She didn't see any other viable moves, so Eloise sighed and ordered the brave little Murdoch to where Sebastian had suggested. Chaos immediately ensued and Ominis's queen gleefully knocked his head off with a violent swing of her scepter. Eloise's pawns all doubled over, sobbing as their most valient knight fell, and her remaining bishop shook his tiny fist in outrage up at her.

After a few more minutes, much to Eloise's ashamed relief and the boys' disappointment, her pieces refused to move for either her or Sebastian. They solemnly collected the remains of their fallen comrades with as much dignity as they could muster and marched off the board and back into their box in a mourning parade of sorts.

Sebastian joined Ominis's pieces as they jeered the losing team off the board, causing Eloise to glare fiercely at him. "You were the one telling me what to do, and they're your pieces! Show some loyalty."

He shrunk away from the intensity of her gaze and held up his hands in protest. "I was suggesting the moves as a joke! After last week's fiasco, I didn't think you'd fall for it again."

Ominis was laughing so hard he was gasping for breath, and the two of them turned to watch him. Even through her irritation, Eloise couldn't help but smile at him - he was always so solemn and these bouts of mirth were few and far between. He managed to speak between bouts of laughter. "I...I couldn't...I couldn't believe it when you sent your bishops one by one into my trap! It was so obvious! And then...and then you..." Ominis dissolved into fits of laughter again and couldn't finish.

Eloise turned her angry glare to him. "We can't all be chess geniuses!"

"I've tried teaching you and you don't listen! For the next time, I'm only going to give you one piece of advice: don't listen to Sebastian." He chuckled once more to himself and then turned slightly to the board, addressing his men (and queen) and giving them a debriefing. He always did this after he won the matches; it was a strange sort of ritual that he seemed to look forward to.

hear me out: robin has been around for thousands of years, including during the roman occupation of britain. julian went to fancy private school and cambridge. it is therefore entirely possible that they BOTH speak latin.

Can McKaren please give Lando a fucking break?

Stop expecting him to make strategy calls. You’re the ones with the information, you’re the ones with the training. He should be giving input and the engineers should be giving the advice.

For him to think it’s on him that he is not operating as a strategist at the right level is really bloody harsh. Maybe, since he is clearly not an expert strategist, they should be asking him about the strategy a bit less?

Senior Cadet Chess Competition at prestigious Military Academy

[enthusiastic-nimrod]

Some sketches of Argyle I almost forgot to post!!

Since Argyle's team is all based off of chess, I wanted them to all have black "pawn" theming to their MG designs (so I literally took a pawn piece and transformed it into an outfit).

I'm having a hard time deciding how I want to incorporate their primary colors- Like if they should be just the underskirt or the line art, or if they should have color-coordinated tights.
