SpadesHigh

My thoughts about life, and ships, which are quickly becoming my life.

Listen, I get the uma musume is based on relatively contemporary, japanese horses, but the degree of obsession I would have if they had Man o’ War in the game would be astronomical.

You know, everyone made jokes about Fjord’s strength, but his eleven meant that he was tied with Nott for third strongest of the Mighty Nein. Beau, who spent like half the campaign flexing, is sitting down at 10, with Molly and the ding dang primary spellcasters. (Yes, technically Casuceus can lift more than anyone because of powerful Build, but if we’re counting that, then you have to acknowledge that Fjord actually beats Nott, because Nott is small.)

Apparently unpopular Shyvana opinion

So in the midst of all the talk about Shyvana reworks, I feel the need to say that I actually really like the way Shyvana looks. Like, they certainly need to update the browser model to match the wild rift version, and her dragon form could certainly be better, but her actual humanoid form is fine, actually. I get where other people are coming from, that she doesn’t look Demacian, that she has the same body type as all the other girls, and they’re entitled to their opinion, but so am I. She’s literally a full blooded dragon cursed to take on a human form, I think it’s fine that she doesn’t fit in with the Demacian aesthetic. As for her body type, she’s a moderately athletic young woman, who spends most of her time trekking through the wilderness. Her strength comes primarily from her magic, not from actual, physical strength. So, I’m sorry, but lean muscle is actually the logical way to go. I get that people are upset with riot for focusing on a single female body type, but maybe go look at someone else for that, because arbitrarily sticking a lifter’s body on someone who wouldn’t have one is not actually good character design. I’m sure a lot of people are going to disagree with this, and that’s fine, but I feel like my point of view is worth at least putting out there. I’ve been maining this girl since 2014, and she’s fine, actually.

Why is it that anytime a boy in league has a crush on a girl, with no reciprocation, it’s interpreted as them being destined for each other. There is such a thing as unrequited feelings, people. Pining from afar does not entitle them to the girl.

So, I don’t get jarvana. It’s not even like I ship her more with someone else, but jarvan is a bad person and he absolutely does not deserve her. Like the fact that he wants to protect her while hunting all the other mages just means he’s a hypocrite as well as being bad. There is no way they would have a healthy relationship.

Glorious Evolution

When people bring up what Viktor becomes, tryna spoil shit, but you played the game for years and fundamentally love cybernetics.

[spadeshigh]

I feel like Viktor in Arcane has some asexual/aromantic vibes, and I can’t tell how much of that is because the only reason a love interest was introduced was so he could ignore her interest, and how much is that most of the rep we see is robots and/or evil characters, and he’s about halfway to both.

[spadeshigh]

Predictive recommendations are really funny to me, because they cannot actually connect the dots as to why I am into something. They try to create a pattern between things i’ve watched, but never realize that the secret ingredient was gay.

[spadeshigh]

Really hoping Shyvana gets the Arcane treatment someday, or at least get someone to really look at consolidating her lore, cause she’s really awesome, and I love her, but it feels like they just awkwardly slapped together the most minimal justification that they could for her current position. She has so much potential, being even more deeply entrenched than lux in demacia’s politics, and the fact that she is not, in fact, a half dragon, but a true dragon that has been tainted by humanity and cursed to take human form. But no, the only time they even touch Shyvana’s lore is to make her a mindless drone villain, delegitimizing the fact that by all rights the Demacians “are” the bad guys

[spadeshigh]

So, I can’t be the only one who thinks that Choices has gone to shit ever since they started implementing these one love interest books. Like, even if the writing wasn’t great, and it was always obvious who they wanted you to pick, i got way more invested because I got to choose. Now, they don’t even bother to sell you on the relationship, they just say: “You are in love with this person,” and expect us to go along. Like, obviously the days of forced hetero relationships were bad, but one step forward, five steps back isn’t really an improvement.

Genuine question: Is nene still an alien, or have we all agreed that she’s just a bear(seal)?

Red, White, Black, Yellow; more like Red Gay, Blue Gay, Moon Gay, Sun Gay

Hey tumblr, could you stop sending me ads for werewolf porn for five...fucking...minutes. I don’t know what led to this, or why you think I’d be interested, but fucking stop it.

[spadeshigh]

I really just can’t see Natsu and Lucy as anything other than close friends. They don’t actually have any chemistry. Neither of them show any interest in the other, physically or romantically. I know a lot of authors think that simply indicating that two people are meant to end up together is sufficient, but this is a whole other level. Agree or disagree?

[spadeshigh]

I just realized that the lead singer of the Hex Girls is Commander Shepard. Now I am confronted with the fact that not only can Shepard sing really, really well, but, considering all the other characters she has been, apparently Jennifer Hale has been this secret, guiding force throughout my life.
