The fact that Jim in canon can actually carry Spock by himself despite the fact that Spock’s supposed to be heavier because of Vulcan muscle density and whatnot, like he can literally just throw Spock over his shoulder, is a fact that uh haunts me every day. Jim works out a lot in the gym just so he can do this.
Something I think is often unappreciated about D&D is the sheer lengths it’s willing to go to in order to make sure every kind of dragon – and it has rather a lot! – has a unique breath weapon. Anybody who’s played a D&D-inspired JRPG will be familiar with the standard options: some dragons breathe fire, others breathe ice, other shoot lightning out of their mouths, and so forth. Then we get to these guys:
Amethyst dragons hork up an enormous gemstone that can be spit with pinpoint accuracy up to 75 feet, and explodes on impact with a sixty-foot blast radius
Black dragons just fire-hose a sixty-foot-long stream powerful acid out of their mouths, like HWAAARRRF
Brass dragons exhale either a stream of blisteringly hot air, or a jet of narcotic gas that puts living targets to sleep
Bronze dragons can spit lightning bolts, or alternatively exhale a mind-altering gas that compels people to run away
Copper dragons also have the acid-barf option, or they can exhale a gas that slows down time in the affected area
Crystal dragons exhale a spray of razor-sharp shards, which is expected, but the shards also glow brightly, forcing anyone in the area to save versus blindness
Emerald dragons just scream really loudly
Fairy dragons burp up a cloud of euphoria gas that inflicts no damage, but makes everyone in the targeted area high
Green dragons huff deadly clouds of chlorine gas
Mercury dragons shoot giant lasers
Sapphire dragons have a sound-based breath weapon, like their emerald counterparts, but theirs is an ultrasonic “brown note” that causes psychological as well as physical damage
Steel dragons exhale a deadly poison, with the twist that the vapour always fills a perfectly cube-shaped volume, regardless of surrounding barriers; the dragon can exercise perfect control over the cube’s dimensions
Topaz dragons have a reverse breath weapon that sucks water out of anything in the targeted area, inducing dehydration in living victims
Like when ppl are trying to get fucked up why choose a beer when you could have I dunno whipped cream flavored vodka????????
Try to tell this to a German ;p We don’t like girly drinks.
What the fuck is a girly drink how do drinks have a gender a dude ain’t got fucked up taste buds to know beer is nasty and whipped cream tastes fuckin good..
Not to fucking mention those “girly drinks” tend to be like five fucking alcohols mixed together to make one drink like what the fuck bro I get more alcohol content by eating the fucking fruit off my tiny plastic sword then I would out of most of your “manly” ass beers
yeah i never got this.
sure, dude, lemme just be “girly” over here with my tray of double-shots of vodka while you sip a can of wheat tea with the alcohol content of my left toe.
“i don’t drink girly drinks” = “i shun alcoholic beverages that actually taste good and would prefer to suffer in the name of masculinity”
