"Why do you say o' clock to mean that" "Well we're all saying of the clock but I got upset because there's a lot of different clocks you can't just say there's a magical clock in the sky they're all agreeing with. So I chose one clock and when I say o' clock I mean that one. It's The Clock"

guy who is linked to one specific clock somewhere and is like it's 3 o clock and they actually don't mean that with anything to do with the actual general agreed upon time but rather to them whatever their totally off clock at home says is just the correct time no matter what

And so Orpheus led Euridice from the Underworld, never to look back. But before they were free, his faith wavered... and she WASN'T there!! Hades totally pranked him!!!

saw basal in context again and honestly while it's occasionally used negatively i do like it a lot more in circumstances like "basal clade", cuz base is like foundation, the origin point all these modifications diverge and stand upon

like, joint locks for instance, which are based not only on knowing how to apply pressure but knowing where you can apply pressure effectively to make it extremely difficult and painful for another person to move. you wouldn't need a humanoid body to understand the weakpoints

honestly thinking about it real martial arts is just as much about knowing the weaknesses of the human body as it is about knowing how to move yourself, so you could justify fighting type on something that's a specialized adaptive hunter to some degree. like portia or something

anyway whenever i think about an alien species with a legitimately different body plan i also sometimes ponder how the human history of martial arts is all about how to maximize your body vs another human's body. love thinking about how other species would wrestletrain bsky.app/profile/narf...

they're honestly such funny things to me, quite unlike spiders even though they're so similar. they feel like some sort of squid unleashed upon the land honestly when i actually think about how weird their support really is. just tentacles everywhere

like it's both a "zomg so badass" ridiculous shonen type thing but there's something legit interesting to me about a guy who's like "everyone always always leans on their weaponry, but you don't really need it to disable the enemy". guy ducks your heat hawk n just starts throwing punches tf you do

bsky.app/profile/narf... one of my silly things i ramble about is that doan's mobile suit martial arts are legitimately goofy, but i don't think the baseline idea of a guy who's just an expert at "mecha combat without specialized weaponry" is actually a bad one. i would love a serious investigation

the sheer defensive potential of the little torpedo oval... terrifying to ponder

not a new thought i know but i do like when a fighting type isn't humanoid. it's one of those recurring things where the type's baseline is generally that so it's only expected but i'm honestly kind of fixated on the idea of martial-arts-applied-to-different-contexts-or-beings

i mentioned this last time but every time i see an assault vest kecleon set its always got moves like this so the exact impression i get is like lieutenant of the villain in an 80s action movie or something

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 53m
assault vest is soooo cool i love thinking about the personality mons that feel like assault vest fits on them have. that's why i keep thinking about kecleon and eelektross they have the arms and head for it and feel like the kind of being that would actually do guerilla shit to you

i like that umezu has the anti-psychic technique work in fourteen for the inexplicable alien chapter and then shows them executing it successfully vs george only for him to just immediately be completely immune to it. makes him seem like a bit of a "materialist ghost" somehow

maybe as a camouflage-based organism kecleon possesses the umezu technique he always comes back to where when you're being hunted by a psychic enemy you have to imagine that you're an inanimate object and stop thinking about anything and you become almost invisible to them

side note but while ledian's special defense seems to me like an indication of its unwavering spirit i like to think that kecleon's special defense is more an attempt to represent through its stats its capability to avoid detection / make attacks inaccurate

otherwise it feels a bit like you're trying to get the energy of writing the story of being the underdog without really being one

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1h
kind of guy who makes the villain legitimately kind of upset because they kept resisting in a way where it just wasn't even fun anymore and they sort of look back with irritation before moving on... there is an energy to it that only works when you're truly actually weak
100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1h
i guess my argument with ledian is that i feel it being hopelessly weak but having very high special defense feels like a powerful story-telling element, like a shonen character who clearly is outmatched but earnestly kind of shocks the villain by not giving up even though they can't win in the end

magic/special defense is always one of the strangest stats in games, like what exactly is your resilience to elemental attacks and stuff. i think it has a lot of metaphorical elements. for me ledian's unusually high special defense seems to imply conviction to fight even if it's pointless

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1h
actually though ive seen people go like why is ledian so weak lol what's the point why doesnt it have a damaging attack and to me i think what it really is is that ledian is the mumen rider of pokemon like it has an unwavering spirit of justice no matter how weak it is

they should give Ledian a flying-type punching move called Force of Will which uses its SpDef as the attack stat in damage calculation. this would not make ledian usable but it would give you something to click and cheer about

they're weirdly cute in gradius iv's bizarre style. i always felt gradius iv isn't a very good looking game but it's also not a bad looking game either. it looks like legitimately only the way other weird old 3d games looked where i can't figure out how they managed to feel burnt up
