I want to live!

guilty gear stocks have been falling ever since the release of street fighter 6 so my foolproof plan for more engagement is to make another character transgender at evo this year

every year they should have a vote for guilty gear’s next top transgender character

Thesis: Alien Vs Predator (2004) is good because it asks 'what if the horror movie monster decided not to kill you and instead helps you save the world and maybe crushes on you a little?' and Pacific Rim (2013) is good because it asks 'what if the mortifying ideal of being known gave you the ability to inflict science-fiction violence upon representations of modern dangers?', and Venom (2018) is good because it makes each of these questions the answer to the other.

everyone's talking about how "prev tags" is an integral part of how people use the site and now the update's ruined it and blah blah blah, but you can't fool me! I remember back when everyone was griping about how it's a degenerate innovation from twitter migrants and that real tumblr users write out the tags themselves

let it be known that i still hate it

#copy pasting out the tags is still just better

just a try of 4-shaku odachi batto action. I love how they draw the big odachi

'horseplay' and 'monkey business' being treated as synonyms means something. don't know what though

Monkeys are so silly that what they consider business, horses consider play.

Real talk advice for people coming over from reddit: the tranny Mafia runs this site. 80% of the posts you laugh at are probably made by a trans person. You better be cool about that, or you're not gonna last long here. That's not really a threat it's more just a description of what's gonna happen.

I think the long-running fandom argument over whether The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is "grimdark" or not – e.g., yes it is, because it has tropes X, Y and Z, no it isn't, because what it does with those tropes is so deeply silly, etc. – is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what a genre of media is.

Like, yes, genres of media typically have checklists of tropes, but a checklist of tropes isn't what a genre is. A genre of media is a dialogue, consisting of creators borrowing from and responding to and criticising each other. Insofar as it's possible to draw lines between genres at all, those lines are drawn between works that are participating in the conversation and works that aren't.

In this sense, Twilight Princess is absolutely a work of early 2000s dark fantasy – even a conventional one, in some respects. It's participating in the conversation, it's got something to say about it, and it's engaging with the tropes of contemporary dark fantasy in very specific and intentional ways. Those ways happen to be goofy as fuck.

good moooorning… gonna be "polishing" my "sword" today if you get my drift

i already sanded off all the rust and it’s so shiny now ^_^

Yeah i’m not   concerned about ball lightning. Or really any unexplained atmospheric phenomena. Anyway goodnight man

(I put my phone down and fall asleep. Shortly afterwards a sphere of electricity floats into my room through my open window, and explodes)

God, what a cool fucking pair of cards. Especially these versions, with Kev Walker's art. Black and White getting the exact same effect, because the death of all fits both divine grace and unknowable horror.

And then Mr. Walker nails the fact that they're the same but different, with not just the inverted colors, but the way that Wrath of God explodes outwards, while Damnation draws all in.

Mastercraft in art here i think. Simplistic, impactful.

Im stunned.

Imagine going to a party and the white suburban stay at home mom with two overachiever kids and white dad who barbeques but doesn’t know how to barbeque and yet is always surrounded by other white Dads who compliment his barbqeuing even though they’re just store bought preshaped frozen patties from Ralph’s or Food 4 Less and while he’s cooking those the white mom comes out and says “okay kids, here’s some pizza!” And she pulls this out and starts telling the kids why its a “fun pizza” and then cries in her master bedroom when no one likes it or finishes it and the white dad is then consoling her why she sobs that she’s a terrible mother and ruined her fourth grade straight B+ sons birthday and thinks her kids hate her but they don’t care but she continues crying softly into her pillow while the children eat poorly cooked burgers with unmelted kraft singles and too much mayonnaise and the only other condiments are two pickles and pepper because the dad calls it his special burger with a secret spice but the spice was just pepper and the kids just keep playing E rated games on their Nintendo Wii while the 17 year old older sister starts cleaning the tragedy up and throwing away uneaten “fun pizza” and whole burgers dejected from the start while she dials Pizza Hut to get these kids an actual birthday lunch and the mother then throws a fit because the daughter did something the kids liked and she didn’t and was the only one making a huge deal out of it and the daughter was then grounded from her TV in her room for only two days and the son went to blow out the candles in his standard birthday cake from food 4 less the mom added strawberries to so she could feel she did something but was still slightly teary and sad because her day was ruined by no one wanting to eat her “fun pizza”
