    That…that looks like Shiny. Has someone in Japan been reading our RP?

    I felt it appropriate to also begin this thread with a pug. And not just any old pug. May I present to you…..

    Okay, Apo is adorable. Which anime? And does she still have her powers?
  4. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Indeed. (They're big, they're ugly, and they'll tip over your garbage can and leave everything scattered across your driveway. In my opinion, their scientific classification should be Giganticus nuisancus. )
  5. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    A preliminary Google search is promising. Any other suggestions?

    Oh, you'd break down in Tucson. We have…. Blinding sunlight! Searing heat of up to 117 degrees F! Rattlesnakes! Snakes that EAT rattlesnakes! Giant rats that look like pigs! Thorny, poisonous bushes that will jump out and grab you if you get too close! Allergens that are literally EVERYWHERE and can even send you to the hospital! Horrible, horrible drivers who will flip you off when THEY nearly get you killed! People who treat retail workers like crap for doing their jobs! And last but not least... BAD MEXICAN FOOD THAT EVERYONE THINKS IS DELICIOUS!!!!

    So. Our Illuminati overlords expressed dismay that this thread, which began with a pug, will soon be closed. Any votes for what cute things the pug(s) that open the next thread should be doing/wearing?

    First off, Megan was more powerful than usual because she had just reincarnated. She says earlier that this is a normal thing, but that she's angry, confused, and destructive right after she reincarnates. What was different was that when she resurrected after facing her fear, all of those side effects were missing. For Obliteration to become "nice, kind, and wise" does seem unlikely. What seems more likely is that he faces his fear and becomes an antihero. He does have a lot of blood on his hands, but the corruption didn't give him much of a choice. Yes, he could have chosen not to destroy those cities, and not to ally with Regalia, and not to do all of those other things he did, but my impression was that the corruption made all of those awful things he did seem like the most logical thing to do. Sans corruption, I think he's a decent man underneath it all. He recognizes that Epics are evil and that what he feels—all of that anger and destructiveness—isn't good or even normal, but his worldview has made him believe that he is outside God's grace, leaving the total destruction of the world as his only option before God destroys him as well. It's one of the darkest worldviews I've seen in any fictional character, but it hints at a sense of morality still untouched by Calamity. He knows right from wrong, even if he believes himself beneath (not, it's important to note, above) his own moral code. I could be wrong, but I think it's actually quite likely we'll see Obliteration as an uncorrupted antihero.

    Uuuuughhhhhh. I know how that feels. It seems I'm always the favorite course at the Mosquito Buffet, at which point I stop calling the medicine Benadryl and refer to the tablets as "sweet nuggets of life."

    From Alanna, one of the king's scribes: All were shocked to see the small, strange beast best a Highprince. No one is certain why Sadeas did not don his Shardplate or ever once summon his Shardblade. One theory holds that he was momentarily distracted by the hound's strange appearance and did not think to summon his weapon. Others believe the hound exerted a strange magic, as yet unseen in this world, that charmed the Highprince away from defensive maneuvers. Still others—and their names rhyme with Paladin and Loash—insist the Almighty (apologies for the wording, but I dare not misquote them) "finally got off his lazy bum and used that weird little hound to help us." Although the hound's origins and full abilities remain a mystery, her success as Highprince of Information is no secret. Upon sighting the strange, funny little hound with a Shardblade between her teeth, every Highprince in Alethkar immediately put aside his differences with his fellows and agreed to follow the hound.

    Epics, probably. Upper class vanillas would've seen the same things other vanillas had, so I don't think they'd watch it unless an Epic they were with insisted.
  12. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    I don't know; in a city ruled by Epics, populated by people who probably saw turf wars waged in various areas, I think watching Epics duke it out would be more of the same at best and a PTSD trigger at worst.
  13. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Sadeas sucks. Who would win in a fight: Sadeas without Shardplate or Blade, or Protector Pug? Oh, who am I kidding. All hail Protector Pug, friend to bridgemen!
  14. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    What? It'd be unwise not to thank out Illuminati overlords.
  15. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Thanks, Illuminati! I did, didn't I?
  16. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    "No, no, NO! You're not supposed to say anything! You're supposed to listen sympathetically and then make a weird 'kkkkkkkk' sort of noise when I'm done! This is my Emotionally Scarring Backstory we're talking about!" "....Kay.....I'm gonna go stand over there with Funtimes. See how she's waving a churro like a magic wand? That's way saner than what you just told me." If so, I think we'd be obligated by all the forces governing fandoms to cast Arthur Darvill as Vapor Snake.

    I've heard Sanderfan used pretty frequently.

    Now to give the Unicyclist a tragic flashback to the day he shared his life ambitions with his father. I still need to see that movie, but I can see that casting choice. If we get the other actors we've considered--David Tennant as Nathan (though Nathan is a good bit younger), Nathan Fillion as Deathwish--the WHIO movie will have one heck of an all-star cast.
  19. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Wait--why is this disturbing? It means we can have a Tommy Lee Jones cameo. How is that disturbing?

    Ninja smily: : ph34r : Just omit the spaces.

    Fine. How do you integrate food into your worldbuilding? (Believe it for not, that's actually a more serious question. I see food as one of those seemingly small things that can reveal quite a bit about the world surrounding it. I remember being fascinated by one author's description of wartime rationing and how it prompted one family's housekeeper to test bread recipe after bizarre bread recipe on the main character and her friends.)
  22. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Exactly. The best place to mount those flamethrowers is on the roof so you don't impair visibility.
  23. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Did those arguments take the form of "I want to talk to the evil weather Epic" "FOR THE LAST TIME, WE DO NOT TALK TO THE EVIL WEATHER EPIC," or was Arsenal more diplomatic than that?
  24. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Because four-year-olds can't reach the pedals and ten-year-olds still think cars should be able to shoot lasers and have flamethrowers mounted on the side mirrors.

    To my city's population of retirees: If you think going the speed limit, using turn signals, not tailgating, allowing other drivers to pass you, and just generally not driving like a monkey under the influence of some substance or another is "one of those newfangled fads the young people seem into," then it's probably time to stop driving. Just a suggestion.
