Same energy as "Betty Boop was the original vSinger".
reading an academic paper about Dark Souls that casually mentions "environmental storytelling, which was first pioneered by amusement parks," hits exactly the same as when i went on the wikipedia page for Gorillaz and the linked page for "virtual band" casually mentioned that the concept was pioneered by Alvin and the Chipmunks. truly we stand on the shoulders of giants

I'm reminded that one of the first lessons I learned as a forum moderator in the early 00's was "some people only want to know who the targets are". Doesn't matter if the rules are "don't be a dick", seventeen pages of legalese, or anything inbetween: there are always folk who really, really want to hurt someone. When told to stop they just want to know "if I can't hurt them, then who am I allowed to hurt? Must be someone, surely."
Sometimes I stumble across a particular species of queer discourse post on this site and I get a vivid mental image of the OP paging through an enormous rulebook with furrowed brow muttering "come on, there must be someone I'm allowed to be homophobic to".
so apparently the illustrator for the sword art online novels, abec, *also* has interviews you can find online about his design choices
and ive got to say
this^ is fucking hilarious
there was a point in time when the official sao light novel artist, abec himself, had in front of him a drawing of kirito with boobs that he then retroactively had to flatten out again
for a brief shining moment my girl was not flat anymore
what do i do with this information
this is the cover in question btw
that suspicious featureless chestplate has a story behind it
ill never be able to look at this cover and not think of this situation now
No, I am not 'hoarding craft supplies.' I am sourcing materials for a very big project that will be revealed to me at a later date- perhaps in a dream.
History Lesson! So, for 3rd edition, in the 90s, when 40k was becoming What It Is Today, GW was trying very hard to market it's toys to teen boys. The biggest problem they had was that kids, as a rule, don't have jobs, and thus the deal was "you need to get the kids to persuade their parents to pay up." And this was, well, the 90s. There was still a back-swing going on away from the 70s, and the tail end of the Satanic Panic. Parents cared about what the kids were up to, in very specific ways. War was fine. But sexy? Harder sell. This is when Slaanesh became more vaguely about 'excess', notably, but it's also when the Sororitas arrived on the field, as warrior nuns. And GW took the decision to say nothing about sex. At all. They weren't "the brides of the Emperor" [nuns are often 'brides of Christ']. They were pure of faith. They were never 'pure of heart' or god forbid, 'chaste', lest some mother have to deal with little Timmy asking what it meant. The Sisters' lore was so de-sexualised the canon didn't even suggest they refrained. Just an absolute void of information. Treated as if it were their opinions on 17th century agricultural practices. Writers (canon and fan alike!) over the years later saw this not as a mistake to correct, but a chance to say "what if the nuns fucked".
Sisters Yuri is just gals being pals, being good squadmates. Kissing each other with tongue is in the Codex
[sagely nod] this is the truth. gal pals. gallant paladins, if you will. I read this doctrine in the Book of Sloppy Style, Volume III, Verse 27. improving morale is an imperative to the pious.
look, it's easy, okay? High Fantasy has An Hero whose Destiny is Sword, and Low Fantasy has Some Schmoe whose Job is Sword.
it's always a good day to complain about English speakers
