Runaan, I’ll have you know I’m exceptionally fast so I could easily outrun you. Want to try?
*carefully checks over shoulder* I do. But you mustn't tell Ethari. He's carefully monitoring my exertion levels as I recover, and I value his input.
But I do want to race. Readysteadygo!

#ask runaan#runaan answers#race ya#i like my races like i like my fights#unfair to my advantage#yeet

Finally read Robins!
I have a lot of thoughts, but I just want to say this panel is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

#addressing Bruce as Batman is such a tell too#hilarious and fucked up#tim drake#bruce wayne#batfam#i continue to maintain that tim being a champion liar while looking like that has given him such an unfair advantage in life#no one suspects this awkward twink with survival skill-level excellence in lying to parental figures is lying to them#not even bruce#my dude this is why you are no longer the world's greatest detective#anyway#I fuckin' love tim drake#robin#robins (2022)

Birds of a Feather previous / next
#my art#feralnette au#birds of a feather#long tags#sorry I went apeshit in the tags#LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW#I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO#its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical#and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread#as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational#in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away#and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do#shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again#legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it#but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings#alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird#she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her#knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself#between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot#and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo#essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that#busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way#to show her she's self sabotaging#cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

Hi there, Starstruck! I've heard you're a very very super normal totally average Waddle Dee.
You don't remember much of your life before arriving on Popstar, correct? And I think that's pretty alright- it seems like you've created a wonderful life for yourself! But if you had the choice to decide what sort of past you had, what sort of history do you think you'd choose?


we were all a little cringe in our younger years. ‼️ new mechanic: vote carefully! ‼️ starstruck wants to run!! you'll have to work together on one option if you want her to approach.
<< prev || [masterpost] || next >>
#my art#starstruck dee#my comics#oc (2024): starstruck dee#been waiting a bazillion years to do this sequence...#anyway ‼️🎀‼️ NEW MECHANIC!! to explain a bit further:#in order to get starstruck to approach at least *ONE* of the methods of approach will need to outweigh the run option#but that's purposefully harder to do because “run” has the unfair advantage of pooling it's votes!#folks can talk + work together in comments and such! you can encourage folks to vote for whichever “approach” has the best chance!#HOWEVER you can also lie about these percentages if you want her to run or you want to do subterfuge! pick your fighters!#the only thing you can't do is post an actual screenshot (even a fake one) of the poll numbers!#anyway i hope folks will enjoy this! both the comic and the mechanic; been working on it for a while!#wanted to find a way to make it more fun/interactive-like!!#anyway wow i bet that's nothing...#🎀🔍

long lived sw races must be so extra about their hobbies. imagine you live for thousand years and a century of that time you decide to dedicate to making a single big af carpet
#a neti jedi that loves crocheting so much they spend a decade to make enough ponchoes for an entire generation of initiates#your village's local funny uncle that has his own special moonshine recipe that is insanely strong#with the only downside that it takes 20 years to brew#a long lived linguist that dedicates their life to creating the most accomplished detailed research of a specific language family#and all of the dialects contained within it at the span of several thousand years making the research both synchronic and diachronic#re: my old space defunctland post the host of the spyoutube channel is from a long lived race which allows him to dedicate years#and even decades for video research which creates a lot of controversy because some people think that its an unfair advantage#archeologists coming to an excavation site to do research on the ruins of a house that was built 5000 years ago#unaware that the person that built it is still alive but moved to a neighboring town#so on so forth the world is beautiful the possibilities are endless you get it#star wars

It's finally time for the Jones Boys to be knighted. How exciting!
Good job, Mechi! What a nice ceremony that was!

So good, in fact, that Mechi is now "athletic"! I'm not sure how that comes from a knighthood ceremony—and I had very little idea of how to convey it in a drawing—but, uh... congrats, I suppose?

Next up is Kwahu! Yay!
Kwahu did not get a new trait, but that's alright. I already imagine that "his movements are smooth and graceful" without needing the athletic trait.

Mechi doesn't need to be Kwahu's heir; he's already a knight. We're going to call The Empire and politely ask if Ivy can be Kwahu's heir instead, even if it might annoy Mechi a bit. He'll get over it.
First | Next | Previous
#rimworld#gracie plays#A Mechanitor's Message#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#slightly more polished art than usual#Sir Mechi and Sir Kwahu...#I'm so proud of them#I spent so long looking for “athletic pose reference” for that drawing#I had no idea how to represent “athletic”#I think I did alright tho#I like the drawing anyway#Mechi would have kicked Raygun's ass at breaking#not that that would be hard#national disgrace that she is#I think bionic limbs might be considered an unfair advantage in the Olympics though#Most of my Olympic knowledge comes from Mario and Sonic games to be fair#does Metal Sonic count as “bionic limbs”?#this is off track#uuuhhhh#the Jones boys are knights#Lansa's middle name is Andrew#uuuhhhhhhhh#Ivy gon' be heir (to Mechi's annoyance)#yeah that's about it#until next time!!#Have a fabulous day <3 <3 <3

not the ending but the general storyline (so there are no separate options for true/flawed pacifist because they go the same way up until the end)
#undertale yellow#uty#in retrospect neutral is probably getting an unfair advantage because most of my followers are flowey fans#oh well. neutral route sweep!#poll

I have patience for things like you that need broken into submission, do not worry. I'm also kind at heart so I'll watch and listen intently to see what's really going on with my toy. Maybe we take a break from torturing you and I let you fight back. God I love when they fight back. You can hit me and scratch me and take out all that frustration on me, don't hold back. I am big and strong and I will let you get it out like a toddler exhausting themselves from a tantrum. But when you finally hit that point, where you realize you're in over your head and you forgot your place, I will remind you who's in charge. Were you too aggressive with your hands? I'll tie them back so I don't have to worry about them. Kicked me too much? A spreader bar is an easy solution. Bit me enough to draw blood? Muzzles are perfect for rowdy creatures like you. I don't mind having to restrain you, it's all a good reminder of where you are on the food chain and makes it so much easier to crumble your consciousness. Just let go, just let me take care of you. Stop worrying about it this is too much or if you can take it. You can and you will because I said you will and you'll do anything for me, won't you dear? 💖
I, uh.. uh., um,, sh, hnngmn uh I mean. um. hh-hey you. you can't do this im. im alpha andddd in charge and vicious and. uh. hm gm. yyyyh. mm.h. yyeahh okay yyeahh. i. seem unable to keep the. uh, words in my mouth. brain. hhnng woof woof woof oh my goddddd woof
#wolf.txt#this is taking advantage of my needyness and weak will its unfair#woof woof wagging#💖 anon

broke out my thesis for roommate tonight about how the way penalties are officiated in the nhl betrays a fundamental misinterpretation, on like a league-deep cultural level (that even spills over to much of the outside commentary/analysis), about what, exactly, the essential and original purpose of even having penalties in a sport is (hint: to consistently disincentivize rule-breaking behaviour via negative consequences and therefore enforce a fair standard of play within agreed rules). that's always a fun one. if i think too hard about how bad this league is at executing this utterly basic tenet of any organized competitive sport i eventually develop a three-layer existential-level-migraine.
#IF YOU ONLY CALL EVEN-UPS IT IS INHERENTLY UNFAIR BECAUSE IT TEACHES THE TEAM THAT BROKE RULES THAT THERE'S A LIMIT COUNTER ON THAT SHIT#league so scared of 'impacting the play/outcome' by having officials do what officials are there for#my brother in christ if somebody does a crime and you call the penalty for it that is not a consequence of your actions#ITS A CONSEQUENCE OF THEIRS#aaaaaanyway#muttering muttering points at blog title muttering#of course you will keep playing rulebreaking hockey if you know that at a certain point the calls even out and you'll get away with it#why wouldn't you. it's an advantage. it's legalized cheating why wouldn't you just. do it. everyone is allowed to. why act like rules matter#the people enforcing them don't!

As someone who is VERY fascinated with adaptation in film (who spent quuuuuuite some time back in college obsessing over it for assignments) and who adores the graphic novel, my biggest takeaway from Nimona is that it is an EXCELLENT adaptation. Especially considering how much that production went through! Like, all of the changes and things they expanded on made sense for the transition from book to movie. My second takeaway is that I love it <3 Please go watch it I beg of you 🙏
#nimona#nimona is one of my favourite stories of all time#and the movie team really did it justice#there are some things i prefer in the book but thats mostly personal taste#i generally prefer a bit more ambiguity (which the graphic novel has in spades) and prefer being dropped into media res#rather than getting backstory forst upfront#but thats just me and i cant complain much and totally understand why those changes were made#in the end the heart of the story stayed the same and thats all that mattered to me#nimona graphic novel dragon design you will always be famous to me#nimona netflix#contender for my favourite film of the year#but it had an unfair advantage (graphic novel my beloved)#person who did a whole dang dissertation and a bunch of scattered essays for her animation degree about adapting books to film

I also want to make a post appreciating the culling in Umbar. It's an extremely big, extremely ambitious city, and although it is kinda laggy, it functions really well. While playing normally I've had moments where I would whip my camera around fast enough to just barely see something load in, so I knew they were doing a lot of culling to make it work, but it wasn't until I saw the city from above that I realized just how extensive it is and how well the illusion works. I wish I had taken some screenshots to show just how much of the city is not loaded in at any given time to demonstrate it. But it's overall really effective use of the tool to build the illusion of a really big city.
#lotro#minas tirith is kind of laggier because they cant do as much culling because of how its built#the player can see a massive amount of the city from most anywhere in it so they cant cull much out without it looking weird#its a delicate balancing act between performance and appearance#anyway. i logged this character out on top of one of the towers in the city#at level 13#man i wish i had ground my way to 15#because then i could use a summoning horn to call a cappy up there#hmmm#do i want to leave her there until she gets two more levels out of festival announcement quests?#i do have a spare valar lying around#but i wanted to get this character to 45 and then turtle rock her for easy lixp#hmm hmm hmm#dammit i should have trained her as a scholar then i could send mats from other characters for her to grind off of#i guess for now i will wait and see#this glitch appears to trigger at random#the only patterns i can pick up between this time and the last time it happened are#1. logged into a character in eriador#2. had recently bought a supporter pack on a different server#i really dont think the supporter pack has anything to do with it but it is a common thread#one thing to note is that since this glitch only triggers inside and in mordor (and apparently umbar)#i think it might have triggered lots of times and i didnt notice#i played on that character for almost two hours before i realized it was happening#you just dont go inside all that often in this game tbh#the other thing is that shortly before it started i found a spot of fucked up water and was swimming in it for fun#i dont think this has anything to do with it either#but its a possibility i cant ignore#once again this is a completely benign glitch that doesnt impart an unfair advantage on the player#so ive got no qualms against trying to trigger it intentionally#it just lets me get beautiful landscape shots and see and appreciate how the game is put together

I caved and made them real. Obverse me losing more and more motivation to draw as I made each of these back to back lol
#keese draws#oc art#oc#pmd#pokemon#pokemon mystery dungeon#pmd oc#these guys are inspired by my usual pokerogue team#oh also imagine a question mark after every he/him I have the trans woman beam pointed at all of them#these are just initial concepts for the actual characters themselves now that I’ve developed the world a lil bit#but yeah these 4 were childhood friends who wanted to be in an exploration team together but had to split up for years#tart and quart both had to move away and cart ended up leaving his hometown to try and become a real adventure a few months later#cart and bart remained in contact for a few years before cart got caught up in some crime circles#he was incredibly trusting when he was younger so he got taken advantage of and ended up digging himself a deeper hole in an attempt to be#manipulative back and eventually he got scared enough that he tried to reach out to a guild and acted as a spy for them in turn for them#eventually helping to clear his name and allowing him membership#there were parts of the deal that were unfair and kind of shady but he was desperate enough to pretend he didn’t notice#after he joined he started immediately putting out listings for new team members and he fully planned on being super picky#but when two of his childhood friends applied he was over the moon about it#and immediately accepted both of them#now quart also applied because he had recently ran away from his old life and was desperate to have a new one#and he missed his old friends deeply so when he saw one of them actually managed to start building the team they all wanted to make he was#quick to apply even if he was rusty as hell on normal non contest combat#cart didn’t recognize him at first and mostly only let him have a trial run because he thought it was funny that an eevee of all things was#applying for a high level exploration team and he fully planned on telling quart off immediately afterwards#this ofc made quart very upset and angry but he didn’t try to clairify who he was because he just assumed that time had made cart into an#asshole which isn’t wrong per say but quart didn’t realize cart didn’t recognize him#it was a rough trial expedition but cart found himself actually quite impressed with quart’s slight of paw skills and his impressive biting#speed so he decided to give quart a real chance instead of a mocking one#eventually quart laughs for the first time around him and that makes cart realize who he is and that makes him feel horrible

MiqoMarch Day 05 - Hobby
When she's not helping every living soul in a 20 mile radius, hunting monsters out in the wild, or exploring every nook and cranny of the world; Arsay is keeping the Magitek Repeater -gifted from her friends at the Ironworks and armed with non-lethal rounds- in good use on the frontlines.
#ffxiv#MiqoMarch#MiqoMarch2024#ffxiv gpose#ffxiv wol#miqo'te#Yes pvp is canon for Arsay!!#Same with hunt marks lol#but I specifically think Arsay goes into these friendly skirmishes as mch because she doesnt want to have an unfair advantage#shes much better with her knives than a gun lol#I also think arsay likes it because it gives her a chance to be on a team and she loves feeling like shes on a team!!#also hottest take but i miss borderlands#i miss going mid at 21 11 6 and 1#i have my mch title set to drone sniper in that modes honour#WOL posting#Arsay Nun

god's strongest soldiers are fic writers who have to include characters they don't like in their fics but still try their hardest to do their characterization justice
#it's me i'm soldiers#writing#i would say guess the character but at the end of the day#i don't think i'm enough of a hater for people to know which characters i don't like#(except you tea. you would have an unfair advantage cause you've seen my hater's moments)
