Here's a funny thing about human beings that would cause conservative heads to explode.
It is entirely possible for a person to be sexually attracted to one gender, and romantically attracted to another. Shocker, I know.

You might not like it,but this is peak masculinity.

See? We've got enough questions here to power Internet nerd debate for a decade.

Definitely the former. He would want to play as many games as fast as possible.

I'm just saying, if the god Poseidon wanted to give me the boon of a sea star that doubles up my money, I'd accept it gladly.

If you're living in a city with Super Sentai,"Mecha Fights" are baked into your comprehensive insurance policies, between "Mad Scientist" and "Meteorite Strike."

I'm now picturing a musou game where a trans woman is pulling off hundred-hit combos to clear the soldiers of the patriarchy off of her path. It's a glorious vision.

I don't wanna see Brendan Fraser in Edge of Tomorrow. I like him too much to want to watch him die over and over.

Asking the "real" question: Could Star Platinum prevent Jotaro from being taken by the Weeping Angels?

Rita: Zeddy, are you even listening to me?
Zedd: *to himself* This new noise canceling faceplate Finster made is great!

We know why. They want the names of everyone who voted Democrat in the last two elections so they can be arrested.

Which Ultra Kaiju do you think gives the best hugs?
I think it's Shepardon.

Touma: Figures out the ending just by paying attention to the story beats. Plays at his own pace nonetheless, because the story is good.
Shouma: Doesn't wanna play. The pain of fighting your family is still too raw for him.

Sento: 45 nights of experimentation, with painstakingly kept notes.
Banjou: The man's got keen reflexes and absurd luck. 2 nights to beat Chronos, 15 to full game. Sento is super frustrated by this.
Sougo: There's another Ohma out there that's still playing the game eighty years later.

How long would it take certain Kamen Riders to beat Hades II:
Shotarou: 50 nights in game.
Philip: 16 Nights, because he would have fully studied the boon pools and strats before playing
Gentaro: He's never gonna finish. If he's playing, he's going to max out all the relationships.

I'm going to do the Yeetus Vanitas from Kingdom Hearts 3 on your dysphoria.

I look at that bug, and it reminds me of my brother trying to carry twelve bags of groceries at once so he doesn't need to make extra trips.

I am a girl. This is not in doubt. However, today, as I got to use a Sawsall to tear down abandoned furniture, I've never felt more like Tim the Tool Man Taylor.

Is it funnier for the giant hero to be trying to drag the Kaiju's tail out of the portal while a human sized hero is about to punch the same monster in the face, or vice-versa?

Valerie Raith @wraithstrike.bsky.social · 1d

Trying to plot out my next design for a #Magi-Knights cover. The idea I have is an Ultraman style hero fighting a Kaiju that's going through a portal in the background, while inside a building nearby, the same monster is emerging from another portal at smaller size.

I'm going to add "Transphobes say I look better as a girl" to my list of transition goals, and when it happens, it will be the only time I will agree with a transphobe.
