[boypussydilf]

this ENTIRE scene encapsulates the whole series so well. The earlier part clearly and verbally lays out The Point i.e. the keroro platoon is never going to complete their mission because they just want to stay on earth with the people they love and the things they like doing, and this part expresses The Tone, i.e., you are going to watch a man in his 40s throw himself on the ground sobbing because he wants to watch comedy TV, and we are going to play emotional music under it, and it’s going to be DESERVED.

Hewo! Can you do thrawn x female reader where he accidentally raising his voice/yelling,and then he immediately feel bad and things eventually get patched up

Thrawn loosing his temper? Damn, that sh*t must be serious!

ThrawnxF!reader

You hold on Thrawn’s stare. You hold your position, sure of yourself and your plan. 

Thrawn on the other hand... Doesn’t appear as convinced. 

“I can do it!” You insist, “If you give me the command of a special squad, hide the navette behind an asteroid that you will propulse with a tractor beam, I can come alongside his mothership, take down his crew and liquidate that fucker!” 

“I refuse.” He simply responds. 

The tone is controlled, calm, almost disinterested. 

“Grand Admiral! You know me and what I am capable of! You saw me in training, you saw my scores, you know my records and all my succeeded missions! I.can.do.it!” 

“Absolutely not.” 

“Thrawn! I ca-” 

“I said no!”  

You start at the sudden shout. 

Did he... Did he just raise his voice at you? 

You were so surprised and shocked you took a step back, with a loss for words. Thrawn had never raised his voice at you before. 

Never. 

No matter how angry he could get, he never raised his voice against you once! 

You gulp, so taken aback you have no idea what to do. Thrawn looks straight at you, gaze clear and decided, brows frowned and back straight. He raised on his feet when he shouted, slamming his two hands on his desk. You shudder under his gaze, not knowing what to say. 

“I... I just...” You feel your lips trembling and your voice cracks. 

Thrawn blinks and seems to snap out of his anger when he realizes how distraught you are. He skirts his desk and comes to embrace you, regretting his words. 

“Ch’acah...” He calls soflty, “Ch’acah forgive me. I did not intent to startle you.” He tries to soothe you, hugging you in his warm arms, pressing you against his broad chest, “But Nuso Esva is a trickster and a devious warrior. I do not doubt your capacities for a second, but he is too treacherous too reckon with a simple squad.”  

You tremble in his arms, slowly calming down from your shock state, hugging him back tentatively with shaking hands. 

“I just--wanted to be useful to you...” You manage to let out. 

“You are Ch’acah, more than you will ever know. But this man is too dangerous for you to take down alone. Your plan would work on any other target but this one, and I cannot bear to lose you.” 

You sigh back a sob, digging your nails in his white uniform. 

“If I let you die without trying to stop you, I could never recover from that. Please my love, understand that I am trying to save your life, not to disparage you in any way... Calm down my love.”  

His thumb comes to caress your cheek tenderly, pressing his palm against your jaw. He gently takes your chin to tilt your head to meatt his gaze. 

“Look at me Ch’acah. I am sorry for raising my voice, but I simply could not let you walk toward your death without putting an end to it. Will you forgive me?”  

His tone is calm and even before recoverng to its usual sterness, but his eyes... His eyes were begging, regretting the shock he instilled in you... 

You sniff a good time and smile to him. 

“Of course, Thrawn.” 

He looks at you intently before letting a sigh out and relaxing his shoulders. 

“Thank you, Ch’acah.” 

You push a strand of hair behind your ear to put up a front and look back to him. 

“Will you at least let me participate in the strategizing?” You ask, hopeful. 

You may not be able to take Nuso Esva down with a quick assassination mission as you do so well but you can still be useful in other ways. 

“Of course, my love. I take all your ideas seriously and await impatiently your opinion on my next plan.” He promises, a small comforting smile on his lips. “We will take him together.” 

This smile... 

Is only for you to see... 

Ever.

A RANT ABOUT THE NOZZLENOSE WEAPONS

I find it hilariously awful that directly after Grand Run, Nintendo decided to put the H-3 Nozzlenose as the FIRST WEAPON in the rotation roster for the new Salmon Run rotation...and then also put the L-3 Nozzlenose IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT for the one after that!

Now, I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant as to why I personaly think these weapons should be reworked ENTIRELY for Splatoon 4.

Every single weapon in Splatoon has one thing in common: You hold down the trigger, you can fire for as long as you have ink. It's consistent, it's great, and it makes it so you don't have to constantly tap the ZR button.

Guess what's missing from these two?

THEY. DON'T. AUTO. FIRE.

This ALONE honestly makes me want to never touch this weapon.

Personally, I think the whole concept of "constantly tapping the trigger" with this thing is incredibly stupid.

(This is just my opinion. If you use either [or both] of the Nozzlenose weapons and actually can use them really well, don't let me stop you, keep using them if you're comfy with them.)

If you ask me, the way to fix the Nozzlenose's problem without making it a full-on clone of another weapon is simple: Keep the way the weapon fires, but make it full-auto so players don't have to constantly hit the fire button. The "tap fire" thing on the Nozzlenose duo is not neccesary.

AND WE ALREADY HAVE A WEAPON THAT DOES THE WHOLE "TAP FIRE" THING, AND IT HAS A FULL AUTO MODE.

THE SQUEEZER. Tap the fire button once, you get a long-range, high-damage shot. Hold it down and you get a short-range, low-damage shot. I literally call this thing "the better Nozzlenose" because it actually has a full-auto mode, which every other weapon in the Splatoon series has.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

Now, what about Salmon Run? That's why I made this post in the first place, after all.

Are the Nozzlenose weapons good there?

No. No it isn't. In fact, it's actually WORSE there, and I think a lot of people share my opinion on that.

In Salmon Run, there are salmonids EVERYWHERE. And not only do they come in the standard variety, there are also special event waves: Mothership, Grillers, Fog, Glowflies (called "Rush" in-game), Mudmouth Eruption, Goldie Seeking, Cohock Charge, Giant Tornado, and, of course, High/Low Tide.

A couple of those are no problem with ANY weapon, those being Mothership, Mudmouth Eruption, Giant Tornado, Goldie Seeking, Cohock Charge, Low Tide and Fog. Though it doesn't hurt to practice, as Salmon Run is known for being incredibly chaotic.

But the last 3 types, HOO boy.

The Grillers have a weak spot you need to hit, and if they have a lock on you (as shown by a red laser pointer line they aim at the player they're targeting), you need to run and gun or else you'll recieve what basically equates to a Salmonid Roller crush. And mind you, that weak spot is tiny, and the Griller constantly spins around. You see where I'm going with this? With the Nozzlenoses, you have to repeatedly tap the trigger button to hit that tiny-ass weak point. And mind you, you have to run AND shoot if they target you. Expect to see the "That's a wrap!" fail screen pretty darn quick if the last player alive in the Griller wave (either you or another player) has one of the Nozzlenoses.

Glowflies ("Rush") just sucks overall. One of the players will randomly get a bunch of glowflies following them. They aren't a helpful thing, though. It makes it so that every Salmonid on the map targets that one player. And with the Nozzlenoses, that's a guarenteed player down. You expect a weapon that has to be tap-fired to actually work well when you have about 100 enemy mooks (at BEST, mind you) all targeting you? Ehh, not saying it's impossible, bc there ARE people who use this weapon and are skilled with it, but it's HIGHLY unlikely.

High Tide is when the water surrounding the area (which, btw, INSTANTLY SPLATS YOU IF YOU TOUCH IT) raises up, limiting movement options. Even worse, it can be paired with other wave types to make things THAT much worse for you. The Nozzlenoses were not built for fighting in certain special waves, but throw in the High Tide event with it, and kiss that teammate (or you) goodbye. Expect to see a downed player you need to revive, unless, again, they're somewhat skilled with the weapon.

Oh, that's right! I forgot the whole revival system! See, in Salmon Run, you don't respawn the traditional way. In order to revive, one of your teammates has to hit the life ring you spawn back in on, and THEN you can fight again. Imagine if someone with either of the Nozzlenoses tried to revive you while fighting off something like a Steel Eel, all 3 shots fired by the Nozzlenose miss ANY player, and then they get splatted by said Steel Eel, causing you to lose the run in true bullshit fashion. Unfortunately, that's not exactly a hypothetical situation when it comes to the Nozzlenoses.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

So what am I trying to say here? MAKE THE NOZZLENOSE WEAPONS FULL-AUTO. It would fix every single problem I have with the weapon!

That, and remove them from Splatoon 3's Salmon Run weapon roster. In my honest opinion, they should've never been added in the first place.

(Again, I have to repeat this bc people might get on my ass if I don't: I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD DITCH THE WEAPON IF YOU'RE COOL WITH IT. IF YOU USE ANY OF THE NOZZLENOSE WEAPONS AND ARE COOL WITH IT, THEN YOU DO YOU. THESE ARE SIMPLY MY OPINIONS.)

That is all. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk about these godforsaken weapons. Goodbye.

grand run tips for each weapon!!

Blaster: you can evaporate crowds of lesser salmonids very quickly, but be careful and back up if something gets too close!! If you’re in a sticky situation, don’t forget you have a bomb and or your special. Triumvirate tip: You can kill bosses pretty quickly too, so try focusing on gathering golden eggs to lob at the big three!

Stringer: You can turf a lot (use this for flipper floppers!) and get rid of crowds quickly, if you get close to a salmon and have all your shots hit them, you WILL do 999.9 damage! Use this to your advantage, also you can kill stingers really quick too!

Triumvirate tip: get close to the kings and use all your arrows on them, personally recommend doing it on joe because for half of the round it’ll be hunkered underground where you cant damage it.

Explosher: You have a lot of range! Use it to your advantage! You can also pierce armor on drizzlers, steelheads, and even pierce the forcefield on a slammin lid.

Triumvirate tip: Pick a god and pray.

Splatana: You may have low range, but when you’re close, you do BIG damage! Even bigger when you charge up the vertical slash, but that takes a while, so make sure the coast is clear before going in to pierce the armor of an annoying steelhead or drizzler that your teammates may have trouble getting rid of.

Triumvirate tip: Use your vertical slash’s big damage to your advantage!!!!! Please!!

Dualies: Your dodge rolls explode, and you have alot of them, if you ever find yourself overwhelmed , just hit the bricks! It’ll get you out of there in a snap, and damage some salmons too, your range is short but gets pretty long after doing a roll!

Triumvirate tip: Try killing boss salmons and grabbing golden eggs to throw at the kings, using your speed to your advantage to get around!

Charger: Squiffer main? I hardly know er! Even in the air, your charge is very fast! You can kill steelheads like any other charger, but dont forget to do two shots instead of one! You can also get through big lines of salmons real quick, but watch your ink and dont get too trigger happy Triumvirate tip: Try and focus on the kings, you have range for a reason!! Get the horroboros’ bombs to explode straight in its face!!!

Roller: You can go real fast, but you know how to use that? You can rush across the map and steamroll anything in your way to get to your goal: a boss! The roller can absolutely decimate alot of bosses by rolling. be careful with your vertical flick, it takes a while to charge up, but is like a kill everything in front of you button, basically. You can kill chinooks (the mothership guys) without using your vertical flick, just wait till they get close to the ground and jump while rolling! Triumvirate tip: go wild man idk

General tip: HAVE FUN!!!

[mcauley-art]

Sometimes fan art is just for you.

I want to make a comic for Jarad the way did for Garruk, my two favourite MtG characters that just get constantly misused, and in Jarads case just killed off.

Going from a hero of Ravnica who worked with Agrus Kos and Teysa Karlov to fight the machinations of Grand Arbiter Agustin IV, Momir Vig with Experiment Kraj, and Lyzolda and the cult of Rakdos.

A man who went from having a relationship and a child with a woman from another guild, and whose child he loved so deeply that he was able to bring HIMSELF back from the dead to save him.

For that man to be reduced to a xenophobic isolationist, who hated the people of his own guild as much as he hated "outsiders" with no explanation given. You can't read the Ravnica novels on the mothership, so their canon may as well not exist.

Agrus and Teysa get to stay beloved and still appear in sets. Jarad gets turned to a statue while hiding in a secret room.

I feel like this would be Boris and grand mothership ngl

[letterful]

"The frequently overlooked B-side is a fantastic cover of Harry Nilsson's "Paradise". If the lyrical content is more whimsical than melodramatic, the music and delivery are certainly the other way around. Artie Butler and The Shadow throw in all their grandiose tricks, pumping up the volume way beyond the realm of clarity. And, in grand Shangri-Las tradition, this may be THE most melodramatic vocal delivery in their ouvre. You almost get the feeling that by the end of this song they are getting beamed back up into the mothership, never to be heard from again..." (x)

[sideblogdotjpeg]

briefly. noodling over the sol & swag dream conversation and their miscommunication. theyre both talking about how glad they are to have met each other but, theyre talking about fundamentally different things and. sols inability to let swag go vs swags acceptance and. thinking about it.

sol grew up lonely but then spent most of his childhood in big grand wizard adventures. even if they were fake. meanwhile, swag grew up in a peaceful muggy swamp w all the other family-oriented bullywugs, but always wondered about the world down the path. they are clones, and they are the same frog, right down to picking the same fake name. but. perhaps this is a fundamental difference between swag and sol: swag wants to be a hero, sol wants people to fight for.

perhaps even ! this is why swag is so at peace with his own death. from what we saw in the ice caves, swags (probably) last moments were .. fighting mothership from the inside out to save a group of defenceless bystanders and lead them to safety. thats a heroic death. at least, despite all the tragedy at the end of the day, swags life got to mean something. he got to do something good, something brave! this is what hes been fighting for the whole time - the freedom to get to be a hero for other people...and of course vice cersa for sol: he doesnt need to be a hero, hes fighting for his bonds, his connections, for swag. hes looked for him for so long. how is he supposed to let him go?

[matthewsgreybubbles]

Back in February, I was visiting Vegas for the first time. I wasn’t going to say anything, but since everyone else is talking about his dating/girlfriend/relationships why not. I was outside Mothership Coffee and I saw Matthew with a brunette woman. She was really pretty, too. I didn’t want to eavesdrop, but sometimes you can’t help it and end up hearing things. They were talking about when she was going back to NYC. He looked really cute. He was wearing a pink hat, red colored lenses, purple tshirt under a denim jacket, black and white houndstooth scarf and jeans. She was wearing gray pants, an off white graphic tshirt with a gray cardigan on top, and a green bandana tied into a bow headband. They seemed really close and couply. Maybe it’s the woman everyone has been talking about lately.

Another mystery added to the Grand Matthew Dating Scheme. But atp it's getting way too complicated for me. For the past 48 hours all the inboxes were about a potential hook-up/ wife/ girlfriend. As long as they are happy it's good for me anyway.

[justafoxhound]

For Talia and/or Burke because he’s your OC too as far as I’m concerned

5. Does your OC have a signature weapon and/or attack? How long did they train to master it?

19. Has your OC ever had an experience with the paranormal or the divine? What happened? Was it a one time encounter or is it a normal part of their life? Did they find it terrifying or thrilling? (Did you ever play the DLCs? Now I’m interested how she’d take to point lookout creepiness or mothership zeta)

15. What places hold significant meaning or memories for your OC? Do they have a positive or negative association with those places?

Burke as my oc aaaaah thank you!!🥰

5. Does your OC have a signature weapon and/or attack? How long did they train to master it?

Well Burke uses his pistol, quiet, when they're not expecting it. He's not interested in any kind of scuffle, will make sure he has all the advantages if at all possible.

I think Talia enjoys when a shotgun is called for. Otherwise she is kinda go with the flow. Maybe she didn't intend to attack or hurt anyone but you know things just escalate and she'll utilise whatever is near. (: She might definitely have swung at someone with the wrench she was working with.

19. Has your OC ever had an experience with the paranormal or the divine? What happened? Was it a one time encounter or is it a normal part of their life? Did they find it terrifying or thrilling? (Did you ever play the DLCs? Now I’m interested how she’d take to point lookout creepiness or mothership zeta)

I don't think Talia is attuned to the spiritual world. Even if she experienced something spooky she would doggedly refuse to be spooked, bc it's obviously someone messing with her, or ghouls or something, who are creepy enough.

(I only played mothership zeta I think, and I was just running around blasting aliens I don't remember much else lol. I guess she'd do the same... I mean ghouls and mutants and such were as wild to her as aliens would be, so once she's stood in front of them she'd just accept that's how things are. What's one more 'are you fucking kidding me' in the grand scheme of things?

I did clear the dunwich building with her and jericho on my current game recently. They'd both agree the pillar at the end gives them the heebie jeebies, but the radiation is a perfectly valid and logical reason to leave lol.)

Burke senses something off at Littlehorn's, but is reluctant to name it as anything supernatural. I imagine he's the same about anything he might have encountered or heard from reliable sources, and i think he's seen one or two odd things in his travels. He wants a rational explanation but if that's lacking he'll just kind of ignore the issue. Can't very well manage events if you have ghosts and things defying earthly rules can you?

(I thinks it's very funny to imagine entities reaching through to Burke, and the only person he might confide in is Talia who would tell him he's crazy. 🤭)

15. What places hold significant meaning or memories for your OC? Do they have a positive or negative association with those places?

I think in terms of the vault the reactor level is a positive memory for Talia. It's where her elders were 'off duty', where James was actually fully attentive (and breaking rules with/for her), where she had fun sneaking off with friends/boys. A small pocket of freedom from the vault regime.

Also Tenpenny Tower is major for Talia, she found a place there, learned to survive, and fell in love there. It's important to Burke too, spent 10 or so years building it up. He also fell in love, but he also gave it up. His feelings are more conflicted... was he insane to give it all up??? He has to make the sacrifice worth it.

I feel Burke should have something more in his past but, I don't have a solid backstory😔

Thanks for the questions!!

[ultraericthered]

Something interesting I recently noticed about Freeza as originally written by the late Akira Toriyama in the Dragon Ball manga.

Out of the five Big Bads of the manga when it became a more high stakes action-oriented series (King Piccolo, Vegeta, Freeza, Cell, and Majin Buu), Freeza has by far the least impressive on-page kill count in regards to deaths we see him directly bringing about in the present or deaths he's confirmed to have brought about. It's closest to King Piccolo's and actually lesser than that of Vegeta, who continues racking up his body count even in Freeza's own saga. And this may surprise fans who remember Freeza being viciously kill-happy with even his own underlings in the anime (killing Oran, killing Namole, killing a guy during the encounter with Future Trunks on Earth), but such incidents never occured in the manga, where Freeza never lay a finger on any of his employees. A major characteristic of Freeza is that while he has all the power within him at his disposal to kill as he pleases and could easily kill someone, he prefers not to dirty his own hands since he has a wide array of footsoldiers who could kill for him on his orders. Prior to the fight with him on Namek, whenever he did make a direct kill himself, it tended to be very nonchalant and casual, like he doesn't need to flex any muscle in order to do so.

For comparison, here's the kills we got out of the other Big Bads:

King Piccolo: killed Krillin (via Tamborine), several martial artists we knew from earlier in the series (again via Tamborine), Master Mutaito and many fighters and civillians in the past, Master Roshi, Chiaotzu, Shenron, and the militants and civillians of Earth's capitol city. He also very nearly momentarily killed Goku when he stopped his heart. And of course there was his plan for PICCOLO DAY, where he'd annually blow up nations of the Earth and kill thousands for fun!

Vegeta: killed dozens of city civillians (via Nappa), Yamcha (via Saibamen), Chiaotzu (via a senseless sacrifice), Tien (via Nappa), Piccolo (via Nappa), Cui, Dodoria, an entire village of Namekians, Appule, Zarbon, Guldo, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and the remaining Freeza Forces posted at Freeza' mothership. He kills much less after this, only killing Android 19, a random truck driver, Puipui, and people in the audience of the 25th World's Martial Arts Tournament.

Cell: killed dozens of whole city populations, Android 17, human and animal life on islands, Android 18, Android 16, the Royal Military, Goku himself along with King Kai and Bubbles (via a senseless sacrifice), Future Trunks, and he intended to kill every living thing on Earth and on other worlds across the entire universe had he not been stopped. He also very nearly killed Piccolo and Tien almost sacrificed his whole life to stop him from pursuing 18 and 16.

Majin Buu: killed the Kaioshins, Dabura, random civillians and dozens of whole city populations, Babidi, Van Zant, Smithy, all remaining humans on Earth sans Mr. Satan, Chi Chi and then all the good guys out at Kami's Lookout, Gotenks, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegito, all plant and animal life on Earth, and would kill every living thing on other worlds across the entire universe if not stopped.

Now here's Freeza, who killed....

Namekian villagers

Cargo (dunno why the anime gave this kill to Dodoria)

The Saiyan race of Planet Vegeta

Nail

The Grand Elder and Porunga (indirectly, premature deaths)

King Vegeta

Dende

Bardock

Prince Vegeta

Nearly kills Piccolo (Nail's energy inside him narrowly saves him)

And of course, Krillin

And yet, despite having limited on-page or confirmed kills, Freeza's the villain who set a whole new standard for pure evil in this series, with even Toriyama himself saying that he was the one villain who was a bit personally, viscerally discomforting for him to have to write and read, as there was so little about him to mitigate how vile he was. The anime adaptation played up his monstrous villainy for this very reason. Two things in addition to these kills rendered Freeza a different beast than other villains and made him seem so damn evil.

1. He's a galactic emperor, warlord, conqueror and profiteer by trade. Because he leads his own empire and is at the head of this horrible business that has looted, depopulated, and sold entire planets across galaxies, Freeza is responsible for genocide after genocide. The extermination of the Saiyans cuts particularly deep because they were his loyal followers in this sick business and he still wiped the vast majority of them out just to remove the slim possibility of his power getting challenged, rivalled, or surpassed by one of them, but the Namekian genocide he is introduced carrying out tells us everything we need to know about how he regularly operates. Freeza is your typical "civilized savage" in the vein of Europeon colonizers, Spanish conquistadors, and terrorist state-leading dictators from all across history, putting on the superficial facade of being the well educated, well spoken, better developed, sophisticated, "civilized" person than indigenous populations while he nonetheless engages in actual barbarism and savagery against said population that he can rationalize and justify by being stronger and "better" than them. He doesn't need to directly slaughter a whole bunch of planet natives when he's the one sitting at the top of his enterprise calling the shots for his lackeys to carry out the slaughter for him, but as such he still stands responsible for everything carried out by the likes of Zarbon, Dodoria, and the Ginyu Force. He's the Palpatine of Dragon Ball!

2. His absolutely chilling, heartless, brutal, sadistic cruelty, and all the other negative characteristics that he displays, especially when in a fight himself. This is a dude who physically pummels his opponents bruised and bloody with a grin on his face, threatens to tear people limb from limb and torture them to death when he's really pissed at them, impales a guy with his curved horns, brutalizes a child and steps on his head to crush his skill while gleefully cackling, fires a barrage of lasers to blow holes into an opponent with visible maniacal ecstacy, strangles his former follower with his tail while punching his injured body repeatedly, toys with the opponent he enjoys fighting in the most bluntly hurtful and malicious ways yet is incensed at having to take what he dishes out, whose instict when he's no longer getting his way and a mental thread has snapped is to throw an energy ball into the planet's core to blow it all up, will twice repay the choice to spare his life with trying to take the life of the one who spared him, and has such a pathological need to be the most powerful, to be the winner, to exact petty vengeance upon whoever committed an affront against him that he'd slaughter as many among a planet's population as he wanted to just to make his enemy suffer (we can see where Vegeta got that from!). Freeza is, all in all, the worst, most despicable bully in the cosmos and you loathe him for it.

So when Toriyama returned to writing for him years later, for all the character growth he got, he also got worse in some areas like in the direct actions he's taken and the harm he's caused (blowing Tagoma and many of his other troops out into space, killing his entire attack force when they got beaten down, nearly killing Gohan, blowing up the entire Earth so that he'd not lose to Vegeta, killing Paragus to make Broly a Super Saiyan, continuing his reign of destruction and death across several planets more directly now, what he did to Planet Cereal and to Gas and Elec of the Heeter Force, etc.)

Has his characterization developed any semblence of decency at all?

That is some quintessential Pure Evil right there!
