I was trying last chapter to avoid the Augment on guard actually making a mistake, but then remembered that Khan wasn’t the only Augment to have an ego that was a problem and that it’d be a parallel to the poor Starfleet guard on duty in “Space Seed”.
Main Points:
DC actually is pretty strict about firearms laws. That’s probably a really good thing, considering it’s a capital.
This was just going to be a two-parter, but three fits better (and also mirrors The Conversation). Especially with the gore that decided to come in.
actually realized when getting this ready to post that this actually is more parallels between Leon and Xander, sure, but there are actually some parallels between Xander and Ada here and I think that's neat
( all that i need )
( for all to see )
I suspect ‘grand poobah’ is the sort of phrase that probably has some vaguely racist origin, but given that this is Bones… (Also he’s kind of ticked for some reason…)
Into Darkness issues aside, the (slightly tweaked) line at the end is a really good one.
( we're (only) human after all )
Given that Surak’s whole thing was essentially ‘sacrifice the individuality that leads to rage and murder for the greater good of society’, Vulcan society tends to read more communal society (Asian, among others) to me, therefore ‘it is good for the individual to sacrifice on behalf of society’. Not as much Omelas or ‘the end justifies the means’.
Main Points:( Spock contemplates philosophy )
( learning the truth )
Vulukor’s turtle-people have returned, this time with Stanzun.
Main Points:( predictions of things going wrong )
( panic and relief )
( steady as she goes )
( you said 'we were born with nothing and we sure as hell have nothing now' )
(I had this partly written for the anniversary of Initiate and then completely forgot it was late September, not October. Whoops. Hence the title being a kind of double pun.)
Main Points: Assassin's Creed/The Secret World
Summary: Shaun knows that this situation isn't as bad as it seems. For him.( Desmond's on it )
I see and respectfully disagree with your opinion, Jacob of the Sleepover Society. Persona 2 duology is worth playing, because
*bi protag is best protag. Like, the other characters are all great, but Tatsuya, man.
*Hashino’s not here to insert his anti-lgbtq agenda into the story
*HTE MUSIC
*I am here for the absolutely ridiculous over the top shenanigans that are the Persona 2 story
*eldritch horror
*okay, most of the mechanics are worse, particularly the lack of a persona compendium, but I am also incredibly here for a more equal power system where multiple people can equip multiple personas
*female protag
*adult party members
“I don’t want to tag top/bottom because I don’t cater to early yaoi seme/uki dynamics and people looking for that in my fic would hate it”
“I don’t know why someone wouldn’t tag that, it takes two seconds!!”
...literacy still in low supply on the reading hobby reddit I see. (Tbf, some people have said English is their second language, so at least some of them have an excuse.)
