While Khare wasn't exactly considered a 'success' by PROMETHEUS, there are times where her body does function according to plan. One of these are enhanced capabilities, particularly in regards to improved jumping thanks to the frog DNA inserted into her genetic sequence. One time when walking to Pauli's, Khare was startled by a group of young thugs calling out and running after her. When met by a dead-end, she jumped straight up and on top of the building, losing the group but ended up arriving late to work as she struggled to find a way down after getting on top of a (very) high roof.

one of my favorite things about apocalypse keys is last session one of my players hit a point where the rules said “one of two bad things happen to your character” and she said “... can both bad things happen?” and i said “you know what? sure!” because it’s the kind of game where even when your characters are in peril, having a bad time, in a bad place, it’s still fun to play, and sometimes when your characters lose, it’s actually more fun than if they’d done perfectly

The younger me that read and reread Minecraft: The Island dozens of times is so disappointed right now.

Please tell me more about the homosexual subtext in Jaws. I hadn't considered it before!

there is something inherently sexual to me about 3 men being stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing but each other to accompany themselves in between the thrill of the hunt ... how the only person with a family is the chief. Quint, Brody, hooper all being truly committed to their work, and we see Brody's struggle with this when his child's life is in danger as a result of his inaction. i really love the moments before hooper & brody's dinner where michael brody is imitating his father-- making the same pained expressions without knowing what could be so troubling to his dad. young michael learning to perform his masculinity by watching the chief internalize the consequences of mayor vaughn's refusal to protect civilians amidst shark attacks. AND ALL AT THE DINNER TABLE AS ELLEN OBSERVES.. when hooper, brody & quint are finally on the boat and we see hooper imitate quint's can-crushing in the same way michael imitates the chief. The chief's power and jurisdiction clashing with quints. Before the departure when Brody kisses ellen goodbye and she cries not just because she is fearful that he may be putting his life in danger but because of his proximity to Quint. who sings raunchy songs about women only in the context of their sexuality. and who has hooper and brody prove their competence and strength to him before he can allow them to join the hunt. quint never opening up about the uss indianapolis until moments before his death.. hooper LITERALLY baring his chest at quint & brody and explaining his failures in his relationships with women. while brody observes, wondering if the only scar he has, an appendix removal is enough to share.. the trio's shared experience by the end is as intimate and scarring as anything they've ever endured. TOGETHER AS MEN

sorry this is so disorganized and not really elaborating moreso just conjuring images and pointing at them pepe silvia style

can not for the life of me understand people who pick and choose their succession favourites based on morals

Failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success

Read the story about this quote.

Fandom characterizing Connors as an incompetent loser who sucks and never succeeds at anything is such an annoying and reductive reading of the character bc it's not even factually true when in addition to offscreen successes and the fact that he's canonically a highly respected scientist in his field, he does, in fact, have onscreen successes, one of which was saving Aunt May's life in the Master Planner saga - which you think Spidey fans would know bc it's only one of the most famous and iconic stories in the comics ever smh
