I Like This Picture

I very much disagree. I love it.

It looks like somebody couldn't afford proper shoes to complete a suit and just picked some shit out of the closet. It's tacky and reminds me of kids in high school who thought they were stylish by throwing on a suit blazer over a crappy t-shirt, torn jeans, and some sneakers.

If you are reading this, don't blink. Blink and you're dead.

You're like... a bad over exaggeration of teenage Doctor Who blogs on tumblr. I didn't even know the Doctor Who fandom had people like you. I really thought that was what separated them from the bronies. You proved me wrong.

There's a pretty big reason I don't look for communities with things I like, because more often than not, the fan community for most things has some pretty fucking horrible people.

Hell, the BioWare Social Network is filled with the most whiny, self-entitled shits you can ever imagine. You go there to see some art or read some fan theories or talk about themes and parts of the series that stuck with you, you end up having to dig through hundreds of threads demanding such and such an inconsequential NPC make an appearance, have closure on the level of one of the main characters, and a million other things saying they deserve or demand this and that and everything under the stars.

When somebody becomes so obsessive about something it's irrational is exactly when you jump ship and avoid it like the plague.

Wolverine Appearances:
X-Men 1-3
Origins
The Wolverine
First Class (Cameo)
Days of Future Past

Well, yeah, Stryker's always been a big part of the whole Weapon X/ Wolverine/ Lady Deathstrike/ Deadpool/ Sabertooth thing. My point was the movies aren't exactly faithful to the source material in quite a few ways to begin with, so I wouldn't worry much about what's different.

Web Comics!

What you did here, I see it. XD

Awson beat me to it.

It's almost like you had a personal stake in liking that comic, or something.

Shit gets retconned all the time in comic book land. I don't see why this is surprising, especially since they saw fit to tell us Spider-Man's origin story twice in a bit over a decade.

Or the fact most superhero movies have interchangeable characters, conflicts, plots, and resolutions.

Also, X-Men: Origins was a horrible, horrible movie so I don't see why you think it's bad that was discarded

You can't tell me this was faithful to characters:



And also, you may wish to put spoiler tags on this because people may want to be, I don't know, surprised at how things turn out. Particularly the whole Mistique thing.

Also, I never watched The Wolverine because I really didn't feel like watching another Hugh Jackman Wolverine movie*, especially where he's decided to embrace his inner Weeaboo and turn into Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai. Move over, Japanese people, whitey is going to show you how much better he is at your culture. Pass.

*To date, there's been SEVEN appearances of Huge Jackman Wolverine in movies, which he had a leading role in 1-3, Origins, and The Wolverine. First Class was a brief cameo, but now he presumably is back in a fairly large role again. Enough's enough.

Ya'll are dead. You blinked.

I farted.

Today I willingly read a My Little Pony Fanfiction. And I enjoyed it....

Also, as mentioned before, it's possible to enjoy something without becoming a fan of everything about it. If you like some My Little Pony stuff, who really cares? It doesn't mean you're going to run around buying every little bit of merchandise and watching every episode on Netflix in half a day or whatever.

The Wolves of the Mediterranean

And post is up!

The Wolves of the Mediterranean

It wasn’t a bad plan, all considered. Wolfgang always relied more on his heart than his head, and it was likely Arturo’s plan to exploit that. However, one needed to consider that he wasn’t relying entirely on Wolfgang’s emotions and quest for blood to hand the Austrian neatly in his lap. “We should be cautious when presuming Arturo’s intents, after all, he’s known us all for years, and as much as we know his strengths and weaknesses as readily as he knows ours, it would be foolish to assume we know his own plans. If he were counting on you to do something rash, Wolfgang, you would have done it the night… of the incident.” Lucian said, not wishing to remind the man of his lost family more than he had to. “We must also take into consideration that if he is serving the Italian military, then he may not be the one calling the shots. I can see him being an advisor or even a task force leader, but he is not a general or a politician. He reports to someone. Someone who likely now knows everything Arturo knows about us and will use that information in ways we will not readily know. We must act quickly and decisively, but I strongly caution us to not fall into any patterns or routines that can be exploited, and we must not follow similar practices as when we were last all working with one another. I would stake a large sum of money on Arturo predicting us forming, as well as trying to draw him into a situation where he’s exposed. We all know he’s never been so foolish to fall for a rudimentary ruse.” The Frenchman cautioned.

Lucian drank from the glass before setting it down on one of the sides of the map to keep it from furling up once more. He watched Wolfgang’s fingers deftly trace the trade routes, as well as locations of interest. Lucian’s eyes lingered on Algeria, bringing a heavy frown to his face. That was one country he was in no hurry to see again, and he knew full well what their slaving practices were like. He tried not to let his memory remind him of the day of his lapsed judgement and the dozens of dead men left to rot in the central African jungles. The trade relationship between France and Italy was interesting; typically, the two countries were at odds, and Italy was none-too-pleased with France’s military alliance with the Russians. If this were left unhindered, both Italy and France stood to become economic titans in a volatile political climate; everywhere one went, there were murmours of a coming war. Europe seemed to be a powder keg, waiting for the fuse. The military and economic alliances, the increasing military sizes, the European disposition for frequent wars over the smallest slights, there was a lot to be concerned with.

He nodded when Wolfgang concluded his ideas for the operation. “Naval convoys are mostly concerned with anti-shipping practices. It is still quite possible to attack these ships with minimal risk, either from a steep decent towards the top of the destroyers, or from just above the waves where their heavy guns cannot easily target. And let me assure you that targeting the destroyers should be one of our main aims; nothing is more embarrassing for a nation than to lose an expressive warship in peacetime. They would be forced to retaliate and send units to hunt us down to save face.” His finger tapped the route between Venice and Constantinople. “Which is why it is wise to continuously strike in unpredictable ways, between several different routes, means of attack, and nations. When the world looks West for us, we head East. When they look East, we head South. Although there’s only so many places we can call a refuge, it’s still trying to find a needle in a haystack unless they know where to look. The same goes for us, the timing of departure and routes are going to get mixed up the more this goes on to try and throw us off, and there’s likely to be decoy convoys meant to lure us out we need to be wary of. This likely means we’ll have to visually confirm when a trading route is being used over following hunches and dispatches. But the longer this goes on, the longer Arturo has to forge his net for us. We cannot do this indefinitely. Our planes are old now, and we’ll be facing much more modern equipment. We need to accept that Arturo may not meet his end at our hands, not in a dogfight. We may have to resort to… other tactics.” Lucian concluded.
