[cosmicrhetoric]

no matter how terribly the rest of the combat went ylfa's bottleneck is like the kind of thing you dream about as a dnd player. it literally doesnt get better than that. i genuinely think that if a player looks at the topography of a beautiful battle map and says "im going to set up a bottleneck" it is your duty as a gm to let them do it. simply because it is sick as hell

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

FIRST ROUND: 68th Tilt

Rodrigo Borgia, The Borgias (2011-2013) VS. Lord Tywin Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019)

Propaganda

Rodrigo Borgia, The Borgias (2011-2013) Portrayed by: Jeremy Irons Defeated Opponents: - Jacques le Gris [Adam Driver], The Last Duel (2021)

“Look, what is sexier than a man who purrs sexily and knows canon law? Okay, so maybe that's just me. But that smooth, seductive voice full of terrible, brilliant ideas...! And the way he runs his hands up his lover's calves, the hunger with which he looks at her, the way he uses his religious authority (and knowledge of canon law) to make an argument for why they should totally have sex despite the fact that she's on her period? Hot. The way he says (while caressing a statue suggestively) that perhaps they could worship as the ancients did -- with joy? Hot. The way he welcomes an invading army clad only in a penitent's robe? Ohhhhhh this over-dramatic OTT bastard, I love him so much.”

Lord Tywin Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) Portrayed by: Charles Dance Defeated Opponents: - King Henry VIII [Ray Winstone], Henry VIII (2003)

“Well, to quote my best friend: “he just makes my inner peasant want to kneel.” He commands every room he’s in through sheer force of will, is one of very few people in Westeros who makes a good ruler (which is different than a good man), and Charles Dance is of the generation of English actors who have Those Cheekbones”

Additional Propaganda

For Rodrigo Borgia:

"He is a little shit and he dresses swagly and he fucks and we love him for it.”

For Tywin Lannister:

“Have you ever seen a man so powerful that you give up your own willpower to follow him into death? Here is that man. Once glance from his steely gaze will set you on fire and get you pregnant even if you don't have a uterus. Good luck”

“Oof… Just look at him… Tall, regal, with piercing eyes, a commanding presence, and an equally commanding voice.”

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home

She’s a faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home! She’ll know if we don’t vote for her!

Ahab

She's a gaslighting old hag with a voice actor putting their entire soul into the performance.

Imagine if they took captain Ahab from Moby Dick, trans’d his gender, and then made her an even worse person who gaslights her crew constantly into sacrificing themselves for her cause.

ME WHEN WOMEN WHO COMMIT ATROCITIES!!!! IN THE WHALE!!!!!

[messofoctober]

The first time he felt jealousy over Seong Gi-hun with someone else, that person died. And similarly, he knew that if this feeling overtook him again, the fate of the next people would be the same.

Or

Five times Hwang In-ho felt jealous and one time he did something about it.

Another character study based on In-ho’s obsession? Definitely.

Propaganda:

For the Doctor and the Master:

Immortal genderfluid war criminals <333

So we all know the Master has killed plenty of people, but, despite their reputation, the Doctor has killed a more than average number too. Sure they undid the whole destroying their own planet thing, but that's still something the Doctor did. Also there's apparently a novelization out there where, when they were children, the Doctor killed one of their childhood bullies but then made a deal with Death so that the Master had the memory of it and became Death's champion, which is pretty messed up and murder husbandish. There are plenty more war crimes on the Doctor's hands, and the Master has killed countless people in a variety of creative ways. Also, I'm having trouble finding the quote, but I swear the Master once said something to the lines of "trying to kill the Doctor is just my flirting" or something similar. But I do know Missy (also the Master but female at the time) described their relationship as "older than your civilization and infinitely more complex". They love each other, they're constantly trying to destroy each other, they are the only friends they each have who can even begin to understand everything they've been through; they've known each other since childhood and they've watched (and helped) civilizations rise and fall together. They may not be who you first think of for murder spouses but they really are a beautiful example.

For Joe and Nicky:

Immortal mercenaries they first met when fighting on opposite sides of the crusades. They killed eachother many times but came to understand eachother as the years passed. Eventually they fell in love and have been inseparable since. They live, love, fight and die together and have done so for hundreds and hundreds of years.

That is your pfp, dear pollrunner, and yet they don't have an automatic submission??? For shame! :D :D :D (Mod note: Honestly they should have :D They're no longer the pfp, though)

They definitely commit crimes, including murder. Their goodness or badness "depends on the century." There is an exchange in the comics about what crime they'll commit that night (they end up dancing gayly in a place where that's illegal but that wasn't the crime they originally planned on)
