Not a distressed damsel

@ladiesinshiningarmor

Because sometimes we want to be the hero rather than the princess. But mostly we want to be both.

Group of friends who are close because they all have the same superpower except no they don't.

As in, they all think the other ones have the same superpower as them, but, in fact, they do not.

For example:

Time traveler who always is running into these other people who seem to know what's going on or what will happen and is so happy he can finally share his travel stories.

Precognitive who is relieved he isn't the only one with the gift and who is glad to get help averting future disasters.

Mind reader with a horrible memory who tries to stay on top of things by skimming surface thoughts. You want to talk about next week's election results and how they changed the next decade? She's with you.

Totally normal guy who thinks the others have the absolute best bit ever and loves playing along.

They save the world at least twice without a single clue shared between the four of them.

One of the reasons normal guy gives the impression of having superpowers is a combination of a low-key wikipedia addiction, constant doom scrolling through his news feed, and being exceptionally talented (through completely mundane means) at figuring out when tables will likely be open at restaurants and where to find parking.

Daughter of fantasy villains decides to rebel against her parents by actually going through with her arranged marriage to a local golden retriever of a prince instead of running off with some local villain-to-be or conquering said golden retriever’s kingdom and ruling it solo like her parents expect her to. Plus, sue her, she’s into the clean-cut earnest look.

At the same time, local prince charming discovers that he’s actually very into the gothic fiance his parents have landed him with in order to try and establish peace with the local evil lair down the lane, he would never have guessed a spiderweb pattern could look so fetching on a ball gown…?

Meanwhile, two pairs of parents in a tizzy because they both expected their offspring to whole-heartedly reject this union and give them an excuse to conquer their goody-two-shoes/evil neighbours, they’re not supposed to actually like each other-!

respective friend groups undergoing culture clash like all of prince charming’s knights are like what vile spell has been used to ensorcel our prince.  we must be on our guard for surely this is but a ruse for an assassination attempt

meanwhile the villain bride’s friends are all like clearly he loves you not, why do you persist in a manner that will ensure your own heart break, i mean if he was taking this seriously there would be at least three assassination attempts by now.  it’s like he doesn’t even notice that you have massive amounts of dark power to covet for his own

smashcut to

fully armored knight, clanging through the hallways in attempts at stealth, blades drawn: i’m just saying, i took an oath of protection.  this feels wrong.

prince charming: it’s not wrong, it’s celebrating cross cultural traditions for my beloved bride

knight: it’s attempted murder

prince charming: it’s a loving attempted murder

@chucktaylorupset  Meanwhile the bride has a bouquet of roses, cornflowers, and wheat sheaves on her desk in her room, and she’s not coming out until she’s written a beautiful and moving poem about how they favourably compare to her groom. It’s been three days. She’s gone through an entire raven’s worth of quills (unethically sourced). The ‘toads who used to be my friends’ list has gone up by one. But she’s bent dark forces and eldritch spirits to her will and, by the powers obscene, this will not be the thing that breaks her.

Sorceress friend: Please, just get him an amulet that will double his power at the cost of his soul, no one’s worth this.

Rebellious villainess: (nearly in tears) No, he brought his best knights to the castle and tried to kill me last week, at midnight, I can’t ignore something like that! He even kicked Cathulhu!

Sorceress friend: He nudged it with his foot. And then he apologized to it. In tears.

Rebellious villainess: (actually in tears now, for reasons of feels instead of poetic torment) He’s trying so hard!!!

Villainess: Beloathed, I need a goat.

Prince: Of course, darling - may I inquire as to what for?

Villainess: Blood sacrifice to the dark gods, you know how it is.

Prince: …

Prince: …darling, you know I support your lifestyle choices, but I must say this before it potentially happens.

Prince: I’m not all right with human sacrifice. That’s one of my boundaries. I don’t know if you do that or not, but it seemed a topical time to bring it up.

Villainess: (carefree laugh) Oh beloathed, don’t worry yourself about such things, I would never!

Villainess: (leading him off to the goat market) Only incompetents use actual humans. Skilled practitioners of the dark arts know that a goat is not only a sufficient sacrifice, but the superior one.

Prince: You don’t say? Fascinating!

I found something in the new dragon daycare quests that’s either a plot hole, or something important to dragon lore, and I genuinely can’t tell which lmao

Apparently, dragons can tell the gender of a baby inside the egg. This dialogue comes just before the first egg you’re given hatches, and it raises so many questions I don’t think Blizzard ever considered.

One: how can they tell? Is there some sort of dragon ultrasound, and these dragonkin can somehow tell what sex a whelp is before it hatches, then they name the whelp according to that? The answer is almost certainly no, one because that sounds kinda weird, and two because there’s a nonbinary green whelp introduced in this questline later, who’s presumably assigned that gender (or maybe lack thereof?) at birth. So I’m assuming what they’re seeing inside that egg is actually gender, not sex.

then my second question is: if they have some means of telling a dragon’s gender other than sex characteristics, how do they get it wrong? Why did they say, ‘yeah that egg looks like its got a dude in it’ when they named Chromie Chronormu? And Vormu, and any other trans dragon that they may introduce in the future? How can they tell that a dragon is going to identify as nonbinary and name them properly right out of the egg, but they can’t tell that a dragon like Chromie identifies as a woman?

…Or maybe I’m giving this far more thought that it deserves lol

  1. they can't actually tell - they just asked a bronze to glance into the future for what the whelp would be now that the flights are all working together again. Or with a different flight do dragon eggs, especially non-binary green dragons dream of being whelps, and they asked a green what form it's spirit took in the dream?
  2. Because Chronormu didn't know either until he got stuck trying to figure out a visage until she figured out the problem was gender?

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on

this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??

Quick someone reply with the gif™️

Always reblog this if you are cool

To be more specific, it’s a hill where fascists die.

It's here! The Cluster Arc! >:)

This comic took me a while, because, well... comics take time!

The next part is being made as you read this, so please be patient and understand that I am not a comic machine that poops out comics without any effort.

And if you're new here, and would like to know what the heck this is... can I offer you a few links in this trying time?

This minecraft short comic called "A strange Coast" made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.

It understands minecradf so perfectly and doesn't treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.

And all that within 10 pages and no word spoken.

Please reblog to increase data size. Please also add how long you think it would take and why.

Phoenix Wright literally has a three day time limit

Benoit Blanc is onto Light's shit IMMEDIATELY, but may not be able to work out the HOW. Fortunately, he also doesn't necessarily care about solving things Legally. I give him about a month, during which Light totally fails to spell his name correctly.

BBC Sherlock has to loudly announce his name and get in everyone's face. He's dead within the hour.

Shawn Spencer wouldn't solve the Mystery, but he and Light will somehow get involved in Kooky Hijinks and Shawn makes Light realize that he's being a twerp, and the murders stop. Time Elapsed: 2-3 days.

The Mystery Gang hits Ryuk with the van and on the way to the hospital (this is the first time they haven't been able to pull of a mask and it's REALLY worrying them), Shaggy, Scooby and Ryuk have a Powerful Supernatural Entity Heart-to-Heart and Ryuk realizes he has more and better options to entertain himself. Time Elapsed: Negative Six days.

I don't know Waver Velvet enough to make a guess.

L Lawliet is too busy playing Gay Autism headgames with Light to figure out the Mystery. Does Not Solve it.

The reason we never see Columbo's Wife is that he himself possesses a Deathnote- His Wife gave it to him after he gave her eternal existence meaning, and they've been happily married with a collection of basset hounds since. He knows what's up immediately. but unlike Blanc, needs to trick Kira into offering proof admissible in a court of Law. Time Elapsed: 3 days to a week.

Dr. Gregory House is arrested at the airport for carrying drugs. Does Not Solve The Mystery.

Phoenix Wright will solve this mystery and prove it in court in three days, but he's bound by narrative convention to use EVERY LAST SECOND. Time Elapsed: 3 days

Winner: Scooby Doo, by Genre Upset.
