hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care

Listen All Systems Red is so so funny from Gurathins perspective imagine you grew up with Space Socialism and was hired to go help some pal with science but you weren't allowed to go unless you rented AmaTeslas Torment Nexus Alexa Dot and then when you get there you find out a whole continent of people got annihilated by their Tourment Nexus rentals so you take a moment to check yours quickly and find out it already had disengaged its Don't Kill People box, the only thing you've ever been told prevented them from mass homiciding their clients, something that LITERALLY just happened to people you knew a day ago, and when you say to your fellow socialist doctors HEY I think our Tourment Nexus is fucked up and it's files said it killed dozens of people barely a year ago and we should probably get the hell away from it the same doctors are like look at what you're saying. You're hurting the Tourment Nexus' feelings. The Tourment Nexus is just a little construct who likes Netflix Gurathin stop antagonizing it on the plane ride.

Wildcard idea: nothing

Yes thats right, nothing.

Imagine how increasingly anxious all the players become when a card is rolled and its effects arent immedietly obvious. That anxiety turning into sheer terror as th3 session goes on and they still can't figure out what the card is. Not trusting any feature of the game as anything could be the thing to betray them.

Grian would be having the time of his life tho

Something something trafficblr is a hivemind...

do you ever think about how solas repeatedly states that he is a man and not a god, not out of humility per se but because he is desperate for someone to see how much pain he is in? 'god' implies a level of invulnerability which is completely at odds with who he is. the man is in a world of pain and he is constantly asking for it to be acknowledged.

have you ever heard it? can you remember?

i. The gulls were crying. The gulls were always crying, in her memory. Whatever far off places Susan travelled after her family was gone, she always came back to the sea.

ii. The beach at Cair Paravel was the first place in Narnia where she really felt at home. She'd wade into the water with her eyes shut and feel she could be in England, on holiday with her mother and father. She'd open her eyes, and there would be waves cascading endlessly towards her.

iii. Before long, she knew every tidepool, every shoal.

iv. There weren't any bathing suits in Narnia, but no one seemed the least scandalized when Susan took to swimming in her underthings. There wasn't anything else for it, and she had to swim. She just had to.

v. She wasn't the only one of her siblings to love the sea, of course. Edmund loved sand and sailing and reading on the beach, and Peter liked to gaze out at the ocean and think. Lucy spent even more time at the beach than Susan did; she would rise before dawn and sit on the rocks as the sun rose over the waves. Susan was never sure whether her little sister was there to greet the sunrise, or to wait for Aslan.

vi. But for Susan, it was sense-memory. Water was water, wherever she was, and it always reminded her of home. She'd go out past the breakers, pull her limbs into a familiar breast stroke, and she'd feel like she was everywhere she loved all at once.

vii. Aslan came, and she was soaking wet to greet him. He laughed, in his lion-ish way, and didn't mind at all when Susan embraced him.

viii. Somehow, Aslan never got drenched from his journeys across the sea, but he was damp as though with mist. The scent of salt and brine clung to him, an overtone to that fierce, wild smell that was his own. Susan breathed in deep, those two scents she loved most in the world.

ix. In England, back at school, she'd go to the swimming pool and imagine she was in Narnia.

x. It wasn't the same, of course. The swimming pool at her school had no crying gulls, no smell of salt, no cascading waves. There was no Aslan coming towards her from the T-line at the other end of the pool. But if she submerged herself completely, Susan could imagine.

xi. She swam with her eyes shut too often, and her coach was growing irritated. It was affecting her times in practice, which would bleed over into competition if she wasn't careful. Somehow, Susan couldn't be bothered to care.

xii. One weekend, she and Lucy snuck away to visit the boys, and they all went down to the lake to reminisce about Narnia. When Lucy and Edmund spoke of their summer sailing the eastern sea, Susan was positively stiff with jealousy. Yet when they all dove into the water in the end, her heart pounded out a rhythm of home, home.

xiii. Six years after her last trip to Narnia, Susan hadn't touched a bow in four years. She still went swimming every week.

xiv. After the railway accident, she went to live by the sea. She missed her family, and she couldn't stand to live in the places they had lived. She wanted to forget.

xv. Susan had missed the salt air. She had missed the waves. There was a feeling of home by the sea that she couldn't quite place; a soothing echo of long ago dreams and fairytales.

xvi. But there were the gulls crying, "Can you remember?" and it broke her heart all over again.

help, i stumbled on a wot meme subreddit and the first thing i see is... they hate the show? what? i think the show is good? It's already expected that the show wouldn't be 100% faithful to the source text since amaz*n is for profit, and it would drop wot if it won't make them $.

also, isn't wot literally the best medium to explore source material to different adaptations and have it be interpreted as a different turning of the wheel?

and not to mention the cast, them hating on the casting decisions like, again, it isn't expected for an adaption to stick to 100% of book description on the cast.

man. why did they feel the need to have an opinion in spaces where they weren't needed in the first place? an understanding that the show isn't going to be a full stroke page to screen adaptation would literally save them time.

So about Emmrich's ring that was from his father:

I've seen discussion on how it's probably not real gold, or that the large stone in it is actually colored glass, and I'd like to add my own like. Possible suggestions on it.

What if the stone is quartz dyed red, and the ring is bronze (I've seen a lot of ppl hc it as copper) gilded gold?

Or, what if Emmrich had the ring plated with gold at some point? Do you think he even would, or do you think he'd preserve it as it was? (Kinda like how some plush restoration has new fur put over the old fur so like the old plush is underneath the new fur like a nesting doll vs just getting the plush washed, patched where desperately needed, and restuffed)

What if it is actually like. 10k gold with a red jasper stone? Or more gold with a garnet or something?

for anyone who does not want to see the new eyestraining effects on Flight Rising - or, really, for anyone who just doesn't want to see effects at all - there are two ways to (sort of) filter them. Both methods block all effects on the site, but both of them break Scenic Mode as effects are now tied to Scenic Mode.

Option 1 is to turn off WebGL. This retains the original dragon image without displaying the effect. Scenic mode only displays the original dragon .png as a fallback. Turning on/off WebGL will vary based on device, but the how-to should be easy to do + easy to search up online.

Option 2 uses a uBlock Origin filter, completely hiding any dragon onsite with an effect. Scenic Mode displays a solid white box. If you don't have uBlock, I highly, highly recommend it. It makes the Internet much more bearable.

uBlock method below:

Go into your uBlock dashboard (gear icon in the bottom right of the extension menu).

You should be in your filters menu, which looks like a dark box with numbers on the left. on a new line, type in this:

www1.flightrising.com##.dragon-effect-frame

3. Hit the 'Apply Changes' button in the top left corner.

Should you want to remove this filter, simply delete the line listed above. Make sure to hit 'Apply Changes' after.

How I think it works (not an expert) is that the frame holds the effect, so filtering the frame subsequently filters all effects.

It's puzzling to me how staff can release effects, acknowledge the eyestrain/motion sickness side effects, and then release even worse effects while waltzing into forums hawking the alt text function (that was barely advertised upon launch). With enough uproar I'm guessing there will be a real toggle for effects eventually, or at least a long-winded 'we're working on things' letter that will ultimately go nowhere.
