I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that “How many of tumblr’s favorite movies have you seen?” list that’s been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.
Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn’t on here in 2013 or so, but you’re telling me you made a list of “tumblr’s favorite movies” that doesn’t include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.
I’m a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn’t sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list – though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I’ve lurked in over the years. For what it’s worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I’ve been here for over a decade. But if there’s anything that truly doesn’t feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.
(And apologies, but I couldn’t seem to find Goncharov among the website’s listings)
But I just had a thought might render the whole thing pointless. If Shadowheart did lose her legs, couldn’t the rest of the party just kill her, then give Withers some gold to ressurect her, fully intact, legs and all? Can anyone present a reason why this wouldn’t work?
So I previously made a pair of polls asking for peoples opinions on whether or not Shar and The Emperor would abandon Shadowheart should she lose her legs.
The second asking about The Emperor was a bit more split with 48% of the 50 voters saying no, but 42% said yes. (The remaining 10% said they were unsure.) But a thought occured to me about this.
Would Shadowheart even need his protection at this point? I don’t think The Absolute would have any interest in a double amputee being a True Soul, and I don’t think it would want to turn such a person into a Mindflayer either, so what would it do?
Kill Shadowheart remotely? Or delete the tadpole in her brain, effectivly curing her? Or would it do nothing and leave her with a dormant tadpole sat there like a bomb waiting to go off?
My bet is that Loona will smell something off about Millie and confront her about it. Even if she doesn’t instantly know what’s up exactly, there’s no way a hellhound wouldn’t be able to tell that something’s not right.
(Remade because I messed up the poll. A continuation of my post where I asked about Shar abandoning a Shadowheart who lost both of her feet/legs.)
The second issue is with The Emperor. He’s only concerned with his own survival and freedom, morality be damned. He pressures the group into becoming part Illithid, and has to be convinced to protect Minsc from The Absolute. Someone without legs, even if they still have divine power, could easily be seen as a burden. So my second question.
Would the Emperor withdraw his protection against The Absolute if Shadowheart were crippled?
My concern, because this would happen before he reveals himself, is that he would let Shadowheart become a Mindflayer at the moment she loses her legs. So there wouldn’t be time to try and convince him not to let that happen.
I have an idea for a Baldur’s Gate 3 fanfic, but I have a pair of questions to ask before I even consider writing.
The basic premise is that Shadowheart ends up losing both of her feet, or even legs. How she loses them doesn’t matter for this post, what matters is how certain people - and I use that term loosely - would react.
If you stop Shadowheart from killing Dame Aylin in Act 2, she returns with the spear that got thrown away, and says ‘Shar is quick to discard what she has no use for.’ This brings me to my first question.
so i’ve noticed a surprising amount of overlap in themes, character behavior, and (unfortunately) fandom behaviors between My Hero Academia and Helluva Boss and it’s driving me slightly crazy so i’m just kinda curious
On Twitter today, I came across someone who insists she has no eating disorder, and that her body is perfectly healthy. I have onw simple question for anyone who sees this.
