I think you're on to something with that and it's supported by her kit in game (I like tying character powers in fics to their game mechanics). Furina is a very flowery, mobile swordfighter that flat out does not do a lot of damage with her normal attack. She's not Ayaka, Keqing, or even Jean; she's an aging theater kid who learned to fight probably by watching stage combat and her sword style reflects that.

Look at them broad, flowery movements, exaggerated beyond what is effective or prudent in a sword fight compared to Keqing or Jean's economy of motion

Even Nilou the other "dance battler" keeps herself relatively closed off as she pivots and drives the weapon with her hips

Furina is not a good swordfighter in her own right but her command of Hydro (in canon) makes up for it and allows her to do unconventional attacks like spinning on a bubble. So her footwork is probably excellent but when it comes to bladework she isn't an expert (she doesn't really have to be since her little water plushies regularly shoot for 15K+ per attack)

I just now thought of this question concerning Games of Divinity!

Is it planned as to WHEN Furina will take up learning the sword/does she already know???

She knows the pointy end goes in the other person and that the edge is also involved sometimes. Right now she's very Danny Kaye and will likely stay that way because this seems fun to write

That said, she did score a backstab on whatever the fuck Abyss!Lumine is so she's a better swordfighter than Dainsleif already

irt 2 someone’s tags on the comic— comic-making is something that i, while tangentially interested in for a while, have no knowledge in. no professional training, no serious experience, nada. i know absolutely nothing abt panel layouts or text sizing that i have not awkwardly gleaned myself from the few comics ive read over the years.

to that end, if u have advice for comic-making or see something i’ve posted and think “hmm that could maybe be better if you did xyz” PLEASE tell me if youre so inclined! really! i’m doing this for fun, yes, but i would love to get better. as long as you’re polite about it, im basically always accepting advice/critique on my artworks, especially areas im less experienced in like comics, 3d art, and so forth

Pork And Beans - Weezer

Not only is this song a complete BANGER and is, in my opinion. The best song off Red. The music video perfectly encapsulates the late 2000s era of not only Youtube, but also the internet as a whole. Simply put, This song and video could only be done by Weezer. Their nerdiness and history of non conformity in the greater music industry is truly captured in this song.

Another thing I really enjoy about this song is it's message. Cause if taken at face value, It's just a song about not caring about what other people think about you. But given a little more thought, Is really a message to music critics and fans who weren't happy with Weezer's discography after Pinkerton. Which is to be excepted considering the poor reception of Make Believe.

At the end of the day, This song is truly what Weezer is. Just a group of nerdy dudes making rock music. Which is a rare sight in this modern age of music, not to get all "aurgggh i was born in the wrong generation" on here lol.

If anyone is interested in actually getting into Weezer, I'd definitely suggest they listen to Red at least once while in between Blue and Pinkerton.

ANYWAYS STOP READING THIS AND GO LISTEN TO IT!!!!!

What are your hockey podcast recs? And I love last podcast on the left and behind the bastards and then like … the blonde files and lipstick on the rim lol

oohh i haven't heard of those last two before! i'll give them a try. thanks anon 🥰

hockey podcast recs:

32 thoughts

this is the most popular hockey podcast by far. hosted by elliotte friedman (NHL insider) and jeff marek (sportsnet radio host), this podcast releases episodes every monday & friday and includes a recap of the week's top storylines & news from around the league, insider information, and player interviews. many current players listen to this show as well.

they can have a slight focus on canadian teams, considering the podcast is produced by a canadian company, but they do talk about all teams.

vibes: informative. lots of news is broken/rumors start from this show. goofy gen x dads hosting a podcast about the NHL.

the chris johnston show

this is hosted by the SDPN (steve dangle podcast network). the show is hosted by julian mckenzie (writer for the athletic) and features chris johnston (NHL insider).

this show is similar to 32 thoughts in that it recaps the week's top storylines & headlines and updates biweekly.

vibes: informative. goofy millennials hosting a podcast about the NHL.

the hockey PDOcast

this is run by the same network as 32 thoughts (sportsnet). hosted by dimitri filipovic, this podcast takes an analytics-focused approach. they do break downs of players and teams from around the league. episodes are posted monday-friday.

might be hard to understand if you don't know much about analytics, but if you want to learn more about it, it's not a bad place to start. they won't explain in detail what everything they're talking about means, but you can always pause and do research if it interests you

vibes: let's talk about math but make it hockey!

the athletic hockey show

this pod is produced by the athletic (sports new department of the new york times). it's hosted by various staff writers at the athletic, and they release 1-2 episodes per day.

this show goes into the top news & storylines around the NHL, and also goes more in depth into certain topics like how a particular team is performing, how certain players are ranked, etc. the episodes are essentially podcast versions/breakdowns of the articles they post.

vibes: opinion-based analysis on the latest news and storylines around the NHL. different vibes depending on which writer(s) are hosting each episode.

the DFO rundown

hosted by frank seravalli and jason gregor of the nation network, the daily faceoff rundown is a daily podcast covering (you guessed it) the latest news and storylines around the NHL.

frank seravalli is probably the most controversial "insider" in the NHL world. he gets in trouble for spreading false information sometimes, but has also broken multiple stories before anyone else has. he's super tight with some player agents and will unashamedly be their mouthpiece, which also allows him to get some breaking news before other insiders do.

vibes: very opinionated reporting on the latest news & storylines around the NHL, including rumors that sometimes turn out to be true, and sometimes don't.

spittin chiclets

this is the preeminent, infamous dudebro NHL podcast. it is run by barstool sports and hosted by former players paul bissonnette and ryan whitney.

i'll be honest - this show can be very tough to listen to. very crass, quite misogynistic, etc. i mean it is run by barstool, enough said.

the reason i am including it on this list is that they have, by far, the best current & former player interviews. players feel comfortable with former players like biz and whit, and so the interviews with players on this podcast are far more interesting and in depth than with traditional media members. they really show their personality more than they normally would.

they release episodes once a week, and the episodes are obscenely long. i would recommend just listening to player interviews if you're interested in listening to them in more of their "natural habitat"

vibes: imagine this podcast being recorded in a frathouse. if that disgusts you, don't listen

locked on NHL: prospects podcast

the locked on NHL network has podcasts on general news and news for each team in the NHL. this particular show that i like to listen to is focused on prospects specifically. they analyze both undrafted and drafted prospects and go into what their game is like, the type of player they project to be in the NHL, do mock drafts, etc.

vibes: hockey-nerd analysis of young players who are not yet playing in the NHL / are in their first few seasons in the NHL

bonus youtube channel: the hockey guy

the hockey guy on youtube posts multiple videos a day. shannon is a legend plain and simple. he posts a video previewing each game happening that day, and reviewing each game after it happens. he also posts daily news videos and videos on other topics such as NHL expansion, deep dives into particular teams, etc. he makes things very easily digestible for all fans of the game.

vibes: your wholesome, nerdy neighbor talks about the NHL with the aid of his trusty whiteboards. he has many cats and bunnies who make guest appearances in his videos, alongside his lovely wife yvonne.

[randomnameless]

(voice line anon) Yeah, the video called "The only way Three Hopes makes any sense" by Anae Leone. It saved my sanity when I was playing GW.

Hahaha

chris brookes match recs

hello anon! so nice of you to ask!

these are just some of my personal favorites that are available free on youtube, i know i have more from around the internet but they are behind various paywalls so we'll stick with these for now. i want to believe tho that if you are new to chrissy b, they are a good place to start as they definitely were most of that for me when i started to look more into his work so!!

vs konosuke takeshita (DDT, 2020)

vs shunma katsumata (DDT, 2021 - deathmatch warning)

vs pokotan (DDT, 2022 - one of my absolute personal favorites for the sheer absurdity)

vs lulu pencil (ChocoPro, 2021 - 30 minute iron man match, but its so worth the story)

vs maya yukihi (Baka Gaijin + Friends, 2023)

cdk vs rina yamashita & drew parker (Baka Gaijin + Friends, 2023)

and literally just watch anything from baka gaijin + friends (the videos linked come straight from their youtube channel where they have the last three shows streamed live, the second one is on the gatohmove youtube page (also linked above with the lulu match) and i think the first one exists in some void right now due to copyright reasons but its out there in some form. i can dig it up if you need it im sure) and chris is heavily involved in chocopro content which can be accessed through the gatohmove youtube channel above, or really just search for chocopro on youtube! pretty much every match his involved in there is worth it i promise <3

[sillygoblinantics]

Thank you guys for the support and reception from my very personal gut spill!

I found some songs that use to help me get through high school when I was still going through the murky waters in recovering and I thought I’d share them!

And

A recent song and artist that I often listen to when I’m feeling down and my absolute favorite song from them
