Genitive Case

@fantasyfooty The clothes don't scream wizard, either. I think the actor looks cool here, but looks like someone from a sci-fi setting.

I'm not against Snape being black in the new Harry Potter series. I'm not against it on principle. There are obviously some pretty awful things and memes being said/shared that are clearly just racist. But it isn't necessarily racist to be a bit annoyed the character has been changed from the book's description, because his appearance carries meaning. 1. Snape is specifically and deliberately described as having "sallow skin" and being "pale." It mirrors the same pale complexion Voldemort has, which is partly why Snape always feels suspicious. They're designed as visual inversions of each other: Snape has a big hooked nose, Voldemort has a flat snakelike one. The whole point of Snape is that he LOOKS like the villain. Everything about his physical description screams untrustworthy. That's Rowling's deliberate misdirection, teaching readers not to judge by appearances. Change the appearance, you risk losing the power of that twist. 2. There's also an irony nobody seems to be talking about. By making Snape the suspicious, untrustworthy, seemingly villainous character AND the only prominent black actor in the cast, you've actually created the exact optics you were presumably trying to avoid. The one black guy is the one everyone's supposed to distrust? How is that progressive? 3. People are making a false equivalence with Hermione being black in the Cursed Child. That's completely fine because the books never say she's white in the text, and it doesn't affect her story either way. Snape's appearance is different. It's written into the plot. 4. The writers now have a real issue down the line. How are they going to portray Snape being bullied when younger? How are they going to portray James Potter suspending Snape upside down with Levicorpus? Surely they aren't going to force racist undertones onto Lupin, Potter, Black and Pettigrew? PLEASE do not turn this into some politically driven TV series where the Marauders' cruelty becomes a racial storyline. That would ruin both Snape AND James.

@seanynr Posts like these make me feel smarter, so that's nice at least.

Reading comprehension hits a new low every day

@Merrydawg They'll give him very, very long limbs instead.

Ugh. Seriously? I was excited about the One Piece remake, but this just ruined that. Why do they always have to change things? Why can't they just follow what the original work does? How is One Piece gonna be One Piece without the stretching? How do they expect that to work? How's Luffy even going to fight people if he can't use his devil fruit power?

@QuiteShallow Don't let them smoothen your nuts.

these soulles suit wearing tech slugs genuinely want all our games to look like vice city definitive edition

@Cthulhu_OwO The Werther effect.

@luigi77714 @ROCKINHOPPER I'm glad he did, gear 5 is cool.

@ROCKINHOPPER I like to think that Oda specifically saw this and decided to make Gear 5 as goofy as possible as a statement

my biggest fear is writing like this unironically

@gmElezen @Actually_Tina He's easier to kick, too.

@Actually_Tina It serves a great narrative purpose, too. When you beat an antagonist, it feels cheap to have them come right back at full strength. This shows that we humbled his ass and he's diminished now. Funny AKD satisfying, and a fun way to characterize him. It's charming he doesn't care

Halmurut offering him anything else as a vessel and Calyx still deciding this was fine ends me

@The_Eggroller I'm sure there is a limited action figure in that Huge Moby box. Can't think of anything else that would be there.

Catgirl Present

@gandalfsoda @MHKogath Navirou's head cracked one day and a younger, smaller Navirou emerged from inside of it.

@MHKogath I don’t think that’s possible actually I think he just kind of asexually reproduced

This is officially a canon event in the Monster Hunter Stories timeline

@highelven A lot of people don't know how to interact with fiction, sometimes it is meant to make you feel uncomfortable.

recently read something and a character pissed me off in a very realistic manner and i realized how wonderful it is that someone can create a fake person or situation capable of moving you. i'll never understand those who only want agreeable characters in the media they consume

@MeoniYouTube The Living Colour.

I think my brain might be having a moment. For some reason, i refered to Sugar Riot as "living colour." WTF IS LIVING COLOUR?!! Is this what happens with age?!

@highelven Chewy, good choice.

@Genitive_Case bread that's not well baked if i had to choose. this is not a joke

i'm going to piss myself laughing

@AngryJoeShow You're a cool guy, Joe.

This is the only way these people function. Living in their own warped reality, lying & villianizing anyone who doesnt step in line with the Trump Regime. You actually mean: -Taken the side of free speech when your government fucks up. -Taken the side of Human Rights when Trumps Poorly Trained and Undisciplined Federal Agents kill citizens in the streets & break into homes w/o needing warrants any longer. -Taken the side of not going to Needless Illegal Wars. But fuck those people right? They should shutup. Yall are so fucking stupid it hurts. Im assuming youd cheer on any illegal action that would curb your own freedoms at this point if you think it might hurt "the libs". 🙄

@highelven They had romantic Grineer torture plexes instead.

when the lotus yeeted the moon into the void, couldn't there have been some kind of mirage put in place so the poor fuckers on earth didn't have to do without moonless skies? like yes the tides probably killed every coastal place on the planet but what about those romantic nights

@ashiefuck Just smash the words together and see what's left – a friendquaintance. Then remove unnecessary letters – a frientance. Remove more letters and you are left with a france. And there you have it. They are your frances. Straightforward and totally not confusing.

I need an english word for 'koleżanka' SO BAD U DON'T UNDERSTAND it explains the relationship so well, a word between 'acquaintance' and 'friend' IS MANDATORY COME ON PEOPLEEEEE NOT ALL MY CLASSMATES ARE MY FRIENDS THEY'RE KOLEŻANKI BRO

@highelven I'm fine with teaming up as long as I can kick the plushie.

i firmly believe we're being baited with halmarut & will very early on start cooperating against a titan cracking through etheirys or whatever the next big bad is being hinted to be but please let me experience some galvus-level meanwhile cutscene clownery first. please. please

@SirJessums Fortunately, the story had a happy ending.

@SirJessums You could do much worse.

When did he get added to Wilds?

@NAnisakis @northgalis That's correct, and it's a plot point in The War Within. We could quickly go rescue Teshin because our warframe was still there.

@northgalis As far as I know a Tenno can only teleport if there's a pre-placed "anchor" and it's usually between Tenno-to-Frame or Frame-to-Tenno. I don't think the Tenno can teleport to a different place without having ever visited there though.

Can Tenno just like... teleport to another planet straight up, or can they only do that if there's a Warframe already there? Or can they only do it over short distances and I have that wrong?
