#tactical genius

[wastingyourgum]

Hear me out, Our Flag fandom: we laughed at this being another instance of the David Jenkins School of Historical Accuracy, but Ed is right, it is a leap year - and I'll explain why...

Our story starts in the summer of 1717, a few months before this fateful night. Stede's initial "raid" on the fishing boat in the very first episode takes place on June 3rd ("an excellent day").

Now, 1717 is not divisible by 4 and therefore is NOT a leap year...

However...

Prior to the British "Calendar (New Style) Act" of 1750, New Year's Day was not January 1st but March 25th. So this September 1st is in 1717 as was June 3rd and as was the March 25th before that but the day before that, March 24th, was in 1716 and 1716 is divisible by 4 so it would have been a leap year, so there would have been an extra day added on February 29th, 7 months before this night!

Ed is right! It's a leap year! (He's also spent 7 months being 1 day off but the man was bored and he's pretty so cut him some slack!)

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Taktikal Brigade

Blood Axes, with proppa taktics, and other morky stuff.

The Orks of the Blood Axe clan seek to apply their own brand of taktiks to their every engagement. The most cunning of kommanders have adapted the strategies of other species into a unique brand of clandestine warfare that, while comparatively simplistic, remains brutally effective. Bringing a new level of kunnin’ to Ork warfare, the Lissen ‘Ere rule lets Ork players issue Taktiks through their Warboss and Mek units. Through judicious bellowing and the occasional cracking of a few heads, these leaders can enhance their troops’ sneakin’ prowess, remind them to aim before shootin’, and, when push comes to shove, really get stuck in.  Entirely in keeping with the Blood Axe preference for unkonventional warfare, the Taktikal Brigade grants Stormboyz units the Battleline keyword. 

One of the Orders mentioned

Shoota Drills: Each time an Infantry or Mounted model in this unit makes a ranged attack, add 1 to the Hit roll

Powerful.

No dnd session is complete without the entire party looking at me sceptically while I eat my tasty little snacks and yell "let me coOK!" while I come up with the dumbest plan ever like distracting skeletons with a minor illusion of a pile of calcium.

YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)

Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!

My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).

As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)

I wonder what Techno's response would be if Tommy won in the pit. Because he's a pretty 'might makes right' dude so I'm trying to figure out if he'd just shrug and be like 'ok I was in the wrong and Tommy got his revenge so it's all fair and square' (while being secretly frazzeled and quadruple down about training harder and stockpiling max everything because Tommy??? Tommy beat him???).

Unless he doesn't see his life for Tubbo's as a fair trade, and thinks along the lines of Tommy's life taken in retribution. Because Techno is super pro revenge, and it could be a 'hey! I didn't have a choice killing Tubbo! That's not fair!' reaction. Techno pretty consistently wants the last word on violence, cataclysmically so, but at the very least will leave it there as is instead of extracting payment over and over and over. So I think there's a real possibility of him scheming up revenge, stockpiling like crazy, and waiting for the proper moment so it doesn't look like he's going back on his word.

Cause like. Techno does say 'win or lose, it stays in the pit'. But he's also fully going in intending to win. He's skewing the odds in his favor with strategic saturation boosts and is very confident in his abilities. When he offers Tommy an out, it's because he wants this to be a choice to fight and then drop it no hard feelings, not because Techno thinks he'll lose.

But if he did. If he did, and was humiliated in front of everyone. If his combat abilities were called into question because he lost to Tommy. If Technoblade 'never dies' lost a life. Well. I think he'd be put in a tailspin. He'd be analyzing every single second in that pit, over and over, to figure out what went wrong. Playing in his head on repeat as his strategist's mind turns against him.

Because as much as Techno tries to twist W--'s egging and goading and escalating into a de-ecalatory measure, Tommy is definitely still holding hard feelings after the pit. And I think Techno would, too, as much as he tries to insist it stays in the pit.

The fact that One Piece has CONTINUOUSLY done character death fakeouts to the point where when someone dies you EXPECT them to turn around and say oh actually haha I survived jk lol not dead. But it’s all just a setup. They’re doing this to me on purpose so that when someone ACTUALLY dies for realsies and STAYS dead it is going to Hurt. And I am not Ready for that,

Tbh I fully disagree with the Damian Vs Tim narrative if yj is included

Damian would be afraid of Tim's track record of Complete Insanity

DC only made them go against each other because together they'd obliterate everyone else
