Nah it's all good, don't worry about it. I was just saying in general.

Oh, okay. :)

oh yes, it wasn't a problem or anything! just gave me some typical error, and for all i know it could've been my isp acting up for a second there. i'm sure my second vote registered just fine, thanks for asking <3

So...most slash or femslash ships, I'm guessing? That's not a good definition, anon.

I would love more :)

Haha, yeeeaaaahh.

OH I WAS, BUT I DOUBLE CHECKED, AND ABOVE ANON IS RIGHT. It is Men at Arms, right after Angua, Cuddy, and Detritus go to the bar. You're almost dead on with the line to: Doesn't he ever sleep? thought Vimes. Doesn't the bloody man ever get his head down? Isn't there a room somewhere with a black dressing gown hanging on the door?

It's funny--I have never seen this kind of shipper in the few fandoms I've really hung out in, but I know exactly what you mean because I've seen them on Tumblr shipping the sisters from Frozen with each other. I guess it was too much to hope that that sort of insanity was confined to Frozen.

(I've also seen accounts of this type shipping Kirk with Spock, but let's face it, Kirk and Spock pretty much had that sort of relationship even if they weren't banging each other.)

...So...you're boring?

Agreed. I kinda like the sound of it myself. I'll read whatever wins, because, well book clubs are supposed to push you into new stuff, but I do hope TGATJ wins.

tl;dr check reply for full commentary

I did. It was rather contradictory, but fun.

Rising Sign is in 23 Degrees Libra
Very attractive and popular, your charm helps you to get your own way and prevents others from getting angry with you. "Peace and harmony at all costs" is your battle cry. You always try to ameliorate or to cosmetically hide any physical ugliness or any angry feelings between people. Flashy, but not gaudy, you prefer to dress elegantly. You generally have good taste in music, art and literature. Beware of the tendency to compromise yourself in your attempt to be agreeable at all times. A bit of a social butterfly, at times you can be vain and lazy. For the most part, however, you are gracious and affectionate, and your refined and aristocratic demeanor serves as a role model to others.

Sun is in 17 Degrees Taurus.
You are known for being patient, slow moving and careful -- you love to prolong and savor enjoyable times. You appreciate and need comfort, ease and warm surroundings. Be careful of a tendency to become placid and self-satisfied and to overeat (especially sweets). You require strenuous situations in order to grow and mature properly, even though you try to avoid them. Affectionate, even-tempered and slow to anger -- when you do become emotionally upset, you are also slow to forgive and time must pass before your calm returns. You demand real results from any situation -- abstractions are very difficult for you to comprehend. Very artistic, your hands love to mold and shape things. You portray an earthy, physical sexiness that others find quite seductive.

Moon is in 06 Degrees Taurus.
Warmth, comfort, security and familiar surroundings are necessary for you to feel at ease. Very loving and affectionate, you prefer a steady, patterned way of life. Patient, calm and steadfast, you are not easily upset. Others look to you for support. You tend to be a slow starter and a slow mover -- others may try to rush you, but they will never succeed. Emotionally, you are quite stubborn -- your attitudes about people and things were firmly set in your youth and will change very little as an adult. You are also very cautious and conservative about spending money. It is not that you are selfish, you just need to feel secure. Beware of a tendency to become overly complacent and too self-satisfied.

Mercury is in 00 Degrees Taurus.
A slow and careful thinker, you like to present ideas visually and concretely. Abstractions are quite difficult for you to understand. For you, everything must be practical and useful in order to merit your attention. You are a perfectionist -- you enjoy being skillful enough to handle the dexterity required of fine craftsmanship. Cautious and conservative in your thinking, you are very slow to change your opinions. You are more apt to respond to an appeal to your feelings than to an appeal to logic or reason.

Venus is in 13 Degrees Gemini.
You are friendly, warm, open and tolerant toward others. You love variety in relationships, indeed you may even prefer to maintain more than one relationship at a time! Very witty and humorous, you have the ability to amuse and please others. This makes you quite popular. You love to play the field and thus find it difficult to settle down and make any deep emotional commitments. Your innate charm and vivacity makes you welcome most everywhere you go.

Mars is in 17 Degrees Capricorn.
Extremely ambitious, you are willing to work very hard to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Very practical, cautious and conservative, you demand tangible results for your efforts. You need to excel in whatever you do, and you have the required sense of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline to bring it about. Beware of your tendency to judge others only by their degree of status and prestige, or by how well they will be able to advance you in your climb to the top.

Jupiter is in 16 Degrees Pisces.
You are at your best when you give of yourself and what you have -- try to avoid being a martyr about it, though. You're a true idealist, but you must learn not to be upset when life does not cooperate with the way you think things should be. Very concerned with spiritual truth and growth, when you practice what you preach, you make an excellent role model for others. You are so devoted to altruistic ventures and concerns that you tire easily at times. It then becomes necessary for you to go off by yourself to recharge your batteries.

Saturn is in 07 Degrees Sagittarius.
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing.

Uranus is in 21 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is in 05 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.

Pluto is in 05 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.

N. Node is in 00 Degrees Taurus.
It's not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people -- those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever -- you'll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you're bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful though not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections -- make sure that there's an even give-and-take!

And it was worth the nearly year-long wait. I actually went and replayed Limits and Demonstrations, the first two acts, and The Entertainment, before jumping into Act III -- it's that kind of game, that deserves a replay before each new act.

I've said it before, but it's become really apparent with the new release that the game is a love letter to all the weirdness of growing up at the edge of civilization (no longer the edge, now) in the 1990s, playing old text adventure games and reading obscure hand-me-down copies of science fiction books from the 70s late into the night in mid-summer. The game itself makes numerous references to the early days of computing (including multiple references to Colossal Cave Adventure -- no surprise given their similar inspirational roots) and to how artists in the 70s and 80s used then-emerging technology (sometimes blended with older, outdated tech) in their work, something I was fascinated with growing up. Parts of the architecture and interior design remind me of all the strange, 70s-era brown-brick buildings, almost monolithic in their perceived enormity, uniformity and ubiquitousness, with ugly green linoleum (long gone) and faux-wood paneled interiors, that I was dragged to on a near-daily basis in the early 1990s, especially in the summer. The magical realism that drives the game's plot seems to be set to the same tune as the million weird books I read 20 years ago, the strange games I found on a stack of old discs I was given, and so on.

There are so many amazing moments throughout all 3 acts and the free side-games I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favourite, but getting to write your own keytar-driven love song (as it's being sung!) has to be on the shortlist. I'd link you to it, but I don't think it's on Youtube yet and deserves to be experienced in-game first anyway.

It's basically a point and click adventure game, but it's similar to the Walking Dead where the focus is on writing and characterization, not puzzles. But where in TWD the decisions you make have to do with immediate cause-and-effect, in KRZ you're essentially constructing a background for most of the characters you meet. My version of Conway is tragic to the point of near stereotype, and that seems to have played a big part in the end of Act III.

If you want a game that is at once unconventional (within its genre and in general) and gorgeously realized with a highly stylized, almost retro-art feel, with a story like something out of a dream, the kind of thing you'd only find in obscure text adventures and novels before their authors got famous... this is the game for you.

And maybe, too, you'd get a look inside the quieter, woodsier part of my head, and understand, implicitly, where my safe place was.

Can't wait for Act IV.

Actually, Annihilation: Conquest is the first (ish) appearance of this group as a team.

Oh, I know. Its cool. I'm more just bummed out at meself.

Oh, I did. And there is more cake in my fridge. Nom nom nom.

Yeah, I think this has happened to a lot of people in this fandom. :(

Feh.

Thank you!

It's not like I'm enforcing it on anyone else...? It suits me, and I don't see why it should bother anyone else.

Well, I can try. It's hard to explain funny.

In the first strip, it's funny that the boy is mocking the girl, because she's like OH LIFE IS SO HARD BECAUSE I'M BIRACIAL and he's like YEAH FUCK THAT LIFE IS SO HARD I'M BLACK.

In the second strip, it's just kind of a continuation of the first strip because she's obviously hung up on the fact that she's 1/2 black and she's had the conversation with the boy sooooooo many times that he's like DON'T YOU WANT TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT YOUR SPECIAL BLACKNESS?!

Sure, it's not sensitive, but a lot of funny things aren't. And I don't get OP's point that the depiction is "misguided" - maybe that's not how OP would react if they were biracial, but everybody's different.

You'd reject the guy too if he requested you to cut his arm xD (yes, that\s the only moment I remember :P).

What infuriates me is that creators/editors keep insisting the comics don't try to emulate the movies and then they pull ridiculous, contrived shit like this.

But the comics featured a Nick Fury modeled on Samuel L. Jackson back in 2002. Jackson himself didn't play Fury in the MCU until 2008.

Giving him the eyepatch is a bit much
