Congrats!

How I miss being in a union.

Maybe my next job…

Man, a Starfleet Tiger Meet would be amazing.

"What if *instead* of zelbingen, we do ALL the war crimes instead? It's not dishonorable if you WIN! And by 'win' I mean 'literally everyone other than you is DEAD~!'"

- Malvina Hazen in a rare lucid moment between executing subordinates for not being "hardcore enough"

Normalize having magic items found in dungeons have the names of previous owners on/in them.

"Ah yes, this isn't just a magic bag, it's... [checks under the flap] the Bag of Steve Magicpants. Ooh, there's an address."

"Maybe we can return it?"

[Vicious stink eye]

"Or... send a 'thank you' note?"

Assuming they haven’t read them already, Dungeon Meshi, Drifting Dragons, and Witch Hat Atelier form my trifecta of “manga with stunning hand-drawn scenery, likable character ensembles, and oddly concerned about ingredients (cooking or otherwise)”.

Spy X Family is also a riot.

Quality shitpost, full marks. 👏

Villain being Villainous: "And now, Protagonist, you will face my wrath!" [shitshitshitshit I have to push the button now]

Mobile Armour AI: !hellO😀

V: Destroy designated targets in thirty seconds then SHUT DOWN!

AI: ♥️!!okaY🎶

V: [Hangs on for dear life as they lose control of the abomination]

I’m amused with the idea of Nephil having a true Gundam frame but all the exterior elements are from mass-produced MS

the proportions are off but it looks ‘mundane’, but then has this extra MA appendage(s) that moves on its own

It thinks it’s being helpful, the pilot is terrified of it

If I might be so bold:
DON'T READ IT
Just browse through it, ONLY look at pictures, ONLY read chapter/subchapter titles

Just. Browse.

If you find a pic you like, read the page it's on

Now put the book down and come back tomorrow

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW IT ALL
YOU ARE NOT STUDYING👍

I'm likely to have the wrong author but I have the very distinct memory of reading a series of fantasy novels and figuring out "Hang on, that's just Florida".

There wasn't a map to give it away either.

Among the MANY faults of Platypus Crockshoes, I did not expect his desire to blur the distinction between Mobile Suits and Mobile Armours to irk me the way this does.

Like seriously, are those little rocket thrusters on its toes?
It has toes!?

Genuinely thought that headline was from the Onion for a second.

God damn these parasites.

Not going to lie, a Broadway Musical about Isaac Newton could be a real banger.

How nobody's made an actual cartoon of "The Promised Hero Turned Out To Be A Dog", I've no idea.

Didn't Piers Anthony or suchlike base their entire fantasy setting on "not Florida"?

The kid is in grand company.

Understandable, not only does it keep your expensive kit cleaner day-day, it’s SO much easier to keep tabs on your buddies.

“Where’s Dave?”
“Which Dave?”
“He’s in blue!”
“Oh, that Dave! Over there!”👉
“Thanks!” (Fights his way over)

As someone who got really into BattleTech in the last year, the Universe book is invaluable for general context.

To *really* get into the franchise though I'd say you only need to find a nice stompy robot you love the look of & learn about THAT.
Find a robot blorbo & the rest will follow.

His NEED to put up fronts is as funny as it is kind of tragic.

Quattro will always be "peak Char" for me, even when, perhaps especially when, he ends the show reclaiming his identity as Casval.

And then he dies without being able to take Haman down with him, poor guy (this is my hill to die on)

Mika increasingly treating himself as ammunition for Barbatos, as a resource to power the Gundam he's supposedly in control of, is a unique tragedy in the franchise

There are other pilots willing to sacrifice themselves, but Mika doesn't even consider it a sacrifice
