Kratos's while development through the Norse games is that while he was a monster in the past, he is in charge of his own choices and he doesn't have to make the same mistakes again or pass that to his son.

And at the end of gow3, he offered himself to give people back hope.

Vegeta and Kratos I will defend because both of them have had a TON of character development.

Vegeta specifically was part of a warrior race that prided itself on how many genocides you could commit. Ever since he started making friends that valued other things, he's changed.

Hank Green made an app called focus friend. It rewards you for staying off of your phone. I have been using it for meditation myself for a little while now. I also use it to stay off my phone while I write. I highly recommend it especially if you have some sort of attention deficit disorder.

I think you play as a Japanese schoolgirl warlock who is bestowed Powers by a well-intentioned Japanese spirit to fight against your classmates that got possessed or something?

I'm hyper fixating on Batman Beyond right now. The music fucking slaps. Like, there's an episode where venom previously used by bane has now now fallen into the hands of kids.

It's a pretty overt anti-drug PSA, but The fight music is so hard. You don't give this music to a villain of the week.

My first exposure to him was Shran in Star Trek enterprise. Very awesome character. Love his reccuring roles in Star Trek and he voiced The Question in Justice League Unlimited

'Purify food and drink' may be a spell that's as well known as driving stick.

On the other hand, I could see a child learning 'speak with animals' as a kid and then just keeping that spell into their adulthood.

Amazon removed it! But they still kept the sellers other titles under the fake author, researcher L.

One thing I couldn't mention due to character count is that this person has also been stealing other canons on the wiki (end of death, coldest war etc) and put them on amazon for sale. This person is not an author, and they credit all of these under 'Researcher L'. This isn't just me.

I need to ask all my SCP people for assistance.

There's a seller who took SCP-5392 and published it on Amazon and is selling it for 3$ with an AI cover where they misspelled 'the'. I have filled out a form to report infringement.

I'm asking folks to report (see pic) > Other > Plagiarism.

A screenshot of an amazon listing for SCP-5392: The Voyage of the Tachyon Express - Kindle edition. The cover is an AI image where the second 'The' in 'The Voyage of th' Tachyon express is missing the letter e.

I asked the licensing team on the wiki. (Great people, no issues there) but they reported to amazon and the seller and no one did squat so they reccomended I fill out a form to report infringement (did that) and now I'm asking here as well.

SCP Authors, especially those who write frequently-How do you guys schedule your writing time? Like... Do you commit to a certain word count per day? Hours per day? Write until you run out of creative gas?

Asked some people earlier but now I'm asking here.

People seem annoyed about this. But I love seeing what jokes worked in videos I worked on! I don't mind if half the comments are just repeating the punchline!

"Punchline" 💀💀

Use it to get a job... Idk. I'm too concerned with worldly things. I think the power people overlook is supes doesn't need to eat. He sustains himself on sunlight alone. If I had his powers, I'd still worry but it would be for other people exclusively.

Hammerspace pants.

The idea that you can carry everything you pick up in your pants while not looking ridiculous makes you wonder.

For example, curse of monkey Island allows you to have multiple sharp objects, balloons, food items, open cups of liquids without spilling, a 6ft long makeshift gaff,

I can only speak my opinion on men,

Lack of good role models. I grew up watching PBS kids and VeggieTales. Half of my morals and beliefs are based off of what was taught in those. The other half of course by my parents.

Who's a good role model now? Or even 6 years ago who was a good role model?

I was a bullied kid and people said I was gay back when that was an insult.

It got to the point where I wondered if I really was gay. Then as I was walking home from school, an attractive woman was crossing the same street I was.

As I finished crossing I went: "Nope! Definitely straight."

Nice.
