A fun piece of folklore in Argentina is that if you have seven male sons in a row, the seventh will turn into a werewolf. In order to prevent such fate from befalling him, you must take him to get baptized and have the President as his godfather

you know that saying that’s like

if a very specific sign, tale or saying exists, there was something that happened

and i want to know what happened

Ryo, my dude, happy birthday! Here's to a year of hopefully not whatever the hell the last one was

YO THANKS, let’s do our best to make this year less ass and more CULO

hey Lance, wanted to share something with you, in Argentina we say "apolillar" which you can translate to english as "to moth" and is a verb that means "to sleep" but it's also oftentimes used as a synonym for cuddling, I tell you this because I know you, as a person of boundless culture and good taste, love Moth, and would probably find this knowledge interesting

oh that’s cute as hell, thank you for inflicting me with this excellent knowledge

This might be a silly question but it's something that's been bugging me for a few years now since I run that character, how feasible would it be for someone to dual wield two vastly different type of swords and try to bridge their styles together? Say, for example, a rapier and a scimitar or perhaps even a katana. This is in context of dark urban fantasy and a wielder that while somewhat around peak performance does not enter shounen protagonist territory and is focused on agility and speed

Very feasible, honestly, simply because style is never as strict as, say, games or media would like you to believe. A style of combat is, by definition, in constant flux, and is adaptable and flexible by necessity. Let me put it this way that’s been effective for me when it comes to explaining it to people on the internet: When you train martial arts, you’re learning passive abilities for the most part, not active abilities.

Muay Thai, MMA, Kickboxing, you name it, it is for the most part 1) physical conditioning and 2) mental conditioning. Do this, don’t do that, and drill your mind and body to react appropriately to the enemy while trying to think as many moves forward as possible to get that takedown or that kick right on their jaw or that joint lock, all of which are countered in a way you understand, so you fake your enemy out by doing this or that, or do that or this in order to get a quick leverage on your foe and prevent them from properly defending against what you have in mind. All of this is thought and actualized in seconds, because it’s muscle memory doing the talking mostly, not actual planning out like playing poker.

End of the day, a fighting style is “this works” first and foremost. The same is true for weaponry. There’s no such thing as incompatible weapons: Rapier and uchigatana? That means that you have good thrusts and an easily controlled, light weapon on one hand, and a primarily slashing, heavier weapon on the other. It does the opposite of limiting you, it expands your possible array of moves both offensively and defensively. Lots of woodland rangers, for example, would wield a long dagger and a hand axe precisely because of this: Axe can cut through leather and metal, dagger can stab through chain mail and cloth, they are short weapons easily used among trees, among other benefits.

More weapon = More effective basically all of the time as long as you’re not being ridiculous with what you can feasibly swing one handed (ridiculous = two bastard swords).

when wardant was like "yeah overpopulation leads to destroying the planet" i was like "ok econ major, you liked thanos in that one movie back when this was still the earth" but the ending, man, i knew i could count on robomi to finally deliver a good event this year, and most of all i knew i could count on you and your taste since it was that what made me want to check out the robomi events in the first place

i love that the story’s answer to wardant was basically “okay well that’s stupid and we’re going to beat your ass now” robomi always comes through

Mudrock walks into the map and Ifrit immediately Rolling Cradles her back into Wolumonde.

Doctor falls asleep with their earbuds on and Kal’tsit walks in with some paperwork for him. “Yeah, exactly what I’d expect from you,” she muses, as if her mood had been aggressively dragged against sandpaper covered in barbed wire.

But she can’t help but feel curious... What are they listening to? What tunes does the Doctor jam out to...? She can’t help herself. Call it scientific curiosity, perhaps something lesser, likely something greater. Kal’tsit gently plucks one earbud from the Doctor’s ear and tunes in...

And what she hears is...

Kal’tsit is immediately assailed, firstly, by a desire to wild the proverbial hell out, and two, to reinstate boning relations with the good Doctor.
