Just re-learned that the best name for my beloved genre of games that I suck at ie high octane, combo-based action games that include Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta, Hi-Fi Rush, DMC 5 etc. is truly “Spectacle Fighter(s)”! Heard it a while ago but it didn’t stick until recently getting reminded of it.

I used to use the phrase “Character Action” which despite still getting used always felt too broad & not at all as evocative as “Spectacle Fighters” which gets to the core of why those games have appeal. Not only are they a close relative to the straight up fighting game genre with heavy emphasis on precision combos, move cancelling, hitboxes & the like but they become elegant ballets of stylish combat that’s as fun to pull off as it is to watch especially in the hands of an expert. The “Combo MAD” tag of Youtube videos is overflowing vids for that very reason.

Been scouring the Steam category for “Spectacle Fighters” & I’m enjoying the fact small & indie outfits are & have been working to build up the genre beyond just the mainstream AAA company titles out there

me: hey tag duel tournie what's up

yugioh duel links tag duel tournament: AI PEGASUS FULLY AWARE OF HIS OWN DEATH MOMENTS...2!

me: OH. OK.

No offense to Mithrun but he really was dumber than a 14 year old. Thistle had that shit locked down for ONE THOUSAND YEARS. Sure he wasn't having a great time for most of it but in terms of duration that Minecraft kid was the most successful Dungeon Lord in history. Mithrun's fake little tea party collapsed and got him eaten within 5 years. The hubris of snake pussy. Meanwhile the Winged Lion had to orchestrate Delgal's escape to the surface and a whole fake hero prophecy just to get out from under Thistle's littlest jester boot.

Anyways I made a ship bingo card because I didn’t like the other ones floating around

Here go crazy

Simon may not have learned anything new here, but he didn’t need the reminder to be so public.

Raph Ninpo

Raph's ninpo is something I think that not only gets over looked but also his progress with it in the series.

I was rewatching season one and couldn't help but reflect that everyone makes a big deal about Mikey being the one with all the mystic mojo and stuff when the one who really does the heavy lifting and is shown to grow with his power is actually Raph.

I mean yes Mikey makes his mystic weapon activate first and he clearly has a knack for mystic stuff. However we don't see Mikey really do much with his powers over the course of the series. So I guess in terms of brothers you have Leo actively struggling with his. Donnie having none of it, and Mikey not having any real issues at all.

But here's a point I'd sit on. Mystics and Ninpo are not the same thing. They are similar but I was thinking on this. Ninpo is made out to be a big deal and is about connection and family and just the power of love. And the cool thing? This is hinted at through the whole of season 1.

BY RAPH.

I wish I could find screen shots to add to my points but while Mikey just makes his weapon work and then has zero issues for the rest of the show. Raph has active progression with his powers all tied to specific moments.

Raph catching Leo is the iconic one of this but there are a few littler ones throughout. Raph's giant form actually shows up as soon as the Paper Theif episode. All his brothers are caught by the giant oragami ninja and Raph charges in and actually for a brief moment goes huge. A more interesting point though that gets over looked Raph uses his ninpo once without his weapons prior to season two. During the late fee episode when they find a mutant silver fish Raph throws his basket ball. If you look during this scene the ball glows with his ninpo energy and that's why it goes through the silverfish and the rental machine. This is the only example of the turtles not using their weapons to use their powers prior to the season 2 finale. It's a fun detail I wish was talked about more because it has implications to the debate of "do the turtles need their weapons" to do things.

A small complaint though is how under appreciated Raph's ninpo can be. Donnie's abilities are free realistate, Leo's straight forward (though not really as abused as they could be c'mon folks I know you've played portal), and Mikey is a freaking wizard who can do what he wants.

Raph however gets "big form hulk smash" which is fair but I hate how his ninpo upgrade is like ignored 90% of the time. More than that there are neat ideas where this power does interesting things like when Raph throws himself with his own big form. More over he has freaking SHADOW CLONES! I want Raph to be Narutoing up the scene! Even if they're not solid (which maybe could make them solid we only have ONE SCENE TO WORK WITH!) it's still a fun thing that can make their total chaos fighting style even better.

SOMEONE APPRECIATE HOW COOL RAPH IS!

Do you know abt Vampire: The Masquerade? (If so, jervis is totally a malkavian vamp lol)

OH!

So you seemed to have caught me red handed, I guess the use of some of the glossary terms made it out pretty easy!

I've played only a bit of VTM! Though, my main experience with it is Vampire: The Requiem! plus experience with Chronicle Of Darkness in general.

I've kinda assigned the three of the polycule clans actually! Malks in that edition got put to a blood line of Ventrue (Which I think also fit jervis as well tbh also)

but all in all my current mindscape, this is how it is right now.

kinda scuffed but enough YIPPIE!

made a fun new chart for fandom treating women in media 🩷🩷🩷

terfs do not touch this post

Future fic where Adrien disappears, transitions while she is away, and when she comes back, everybody at the school reunion treats her horribly because they think she's Chloé.

Extra points if they treat Chloé great because her style is so rich AF butch lesbian now that everybody thinks she is Adrien.

seen people do this for other fandoms and figured i'd do it for ghosts too lol...

flag id: a flag with 6 stripes, which are very dark silver, turquoise, pale greenish-yellow, dull light red-orange, soft red, and medium dark faded pink-red. end id.

banner id: a 1500x150 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting’ in large white text in the center. end id.

I am almost done with my “qsmp eggs as pets” ref post for my college au but I’m stuck on the newest eggs em, sunny, pepito, and chusnik

Help? I’m trying to keep the animals they are a little realistic for college students to own (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles) but im not afraid to go a little exotic or unconventional if it fits one of the eggs (Dapper as a fruit bat, Leo as an epaulette shark)

lifespans do not matter cause im ignoring them lmao

If you have any suggestions for those 4, throw ‘em at me!! Im also not super set on my Chayanne and Tilín choices (orange tabby/maine coon and call duck respectively) so if you have an idea for them too, I’d hear it!! I can share any of the og you’re curious about, but I also plan to post them all once I finalize the choices :3
