We can’t get rid of slavery, the economy will collapse!
We can’t get rid of child labor, the economy will collapse!
We can’t have 8 hour work days, the economy will collapse.
What? The workers want TWO days off a week? Don’t they know the economy will collapse?
basically if a capitalist says the economy will collapse because of a reform that will help workers, you don’t need to believe them, also it’s gonna collapse anyway, that’s what it does under capitalism.
Every DnD game that starts out with a serious “Lord of the Rings” type of tone turns into a Monty Python sketch and every DnD game that starts out like a Monty Python sketch turns into Lord of the Rings
DnD game with characters named Kua the Brave, Enoch Bluehelm, and Hallow Greaves: Our current mission is to save the kingdom from the Dark Queen Ravenbone but we fucked up a charisma roll and now Kua and Ravenbone are dating and the king of Fendale was turned into a frog
DnD game with characters named Bunny Wabbit, Ford Trukk, and Dildo Baggins: Our current mission is to find a birthday present for a spoiled prince but in the process we found a lich planning to devour the life force of everyone in the land and Dildo gave his life to stop him in a scene so moving it won the Newberry Medal
If you give your players room to do whatever they want, including be silly, they will most often choose to express themselves. And you’d be amazed how much you’ll start to care about characters once people have attached little pieces if their soul to them.
If you try to enforce a “serious” tone, it just makes the gags funnier, and your players will treat you with the same casual blasphemy orangutans show to God.
“the same casual blasphemy orangutans show to God” WHAT THE FUCK I’M DECEASED
Okay, so I just got shampoo in my eye (luckily my blind eye; it could have been a lot worse) and as I was grabbing said part of my face in complete agony, it hit me…that’s exactly how Zuko got his scar. Not the ‘shampoo’ bit, the ‘grabbing the face’ bit. Ozai put his hand to Zuko’s face is what I’m getting at.
I guess part of me always knew that, because his scar does look a lot like a handprint:
But still, whenever I thought about the agni kai, I’d imagine Ozai standing over his thirteen-year-old son and firing haphazardly like:
But no, I think he brings his hand right up to Zuko’s face.
Which would explain, you know, this:
At first, I thought that he backhanded Zuko, like Azula does here.
But when I looked up these photos, it hit me (no pun intended) that we’ve probably seen the exact move that Ozai made:
Just at a different angle, because I imagine that he was standing over Zuko, due to the whole symbolism of height differences.
Still, I think he slowly brought his fire-encased hand up to Zuko’s face and held it there, burning him, just like he was about to do with Aang. The difference being that Aang is able to deflect the attack:
Which he was able to do, because he learned from Zuko.
I swear this show has more circles than a cheese grater…
That could also explain the way Azula mimicked him!! She’s using her right hand, which normally might be a little strange if you’re covering your left eye, but this way it looks like she’s using the hand that hit Zuko
