Warhammer, Transformers, Tabletop RPGs, assorted nerd stuff. I wanted to be a Social Justice Mystic Theurge, but turned out a Social Justice Commoner.
The Falcon and Viper really deserve to be at the top of the list.

I do not know what else to say here except: do you think the same geniuses who have left Britain being openly attacked by both fascist Russia and fascist America, and are trying to resolve this by being more fascist themselves, are reliable and trustworthy.

Call no-one a hero until they are dead, as it were.

A lot of fascists; fools and dupes thought it was a splendid plan.

Look for "combat archery" or "battle archery".

I was thinking of "arrow tag", but it seems that's a brand name.

Fascism thrives when you spend a couple of decades telling everyone who raises an alarm about it early that they're fear mongering and to stop worrying.

Which is, of course, the eternal struggle to prevent its territorial expansion into October.

Now, steady on.

That's already a thing, though?

Particularly in cases like Star Trek where there's some stuff that is "proper" canon (TV shows, films), and some stuff that's less canon but not unofficial (books, games etc).

Especially when Bloodletters already exist, and (in the currently prevailing form) are very skinny.

It's possible to be a rip-off of something that's already a rip-off, though.

Like, 40k Tyranids are fundamentally Starship Troopers Bug rip-offs (with some other monsters like Alien Xenomorphs layers on top.)

But it's still fair to say that StarCraft Zerg are Tyranid rip-offs.

The combination of chapter colours and matte grey having been ripped off fro... inspired by... a variety of tanks over the years.
