the rage i felt when i discovered tetsu in japanese means iron was unparalleled by any other emotion i have ever experienced. no one word has ever made me go completely apeshit like that before. it feels like im a trained superkiller and google translate telling me “iron” was the activation code to transport me to japan and beat horikoshi into submission. i understand naming characters puns or whatever but if he told me “hey heres my character ironiron ironiron his quirk is iron :)” i would LITERALLY lose my entire goddamn mind and immediately start wailing on him. what the fuck
There’s more to it than that though
Each ‘tetsu'is spelt with a different character and have slightly different meanings. Forgive me if I remember incorrectly, but his name is something like
She tries to take back her families business only to find that it’s been taken over by a cult of Evil Cowboys
are you kidding i’d watch the fuck out of this
Her love interest is an Actual Cowboy from the Old West who was the greatest gunslinger of their age and who won countless duels, but they still aren’t as good at it as she is because of Reasons
Reason being she has the Guns of Pecos Bill.
*internal screams of joy*
Do not do this to me my husband is a historical reenactor and weapon historian I know so much about this shit.
My brain is over flowing. Like like i love and hate the idea of it being Pecos Bill because on one hand I can think of 4 real humans I would want it to be and on the other Pecos Bill is BRILLIANT because he is a myth and tweeking things are less likely to hurt historians in their souls.
Also if it’s Pecos Bill she would also have his lasso.
You guys. Don’t do this to me.
The Lasso is too OP and you know it!
As someone who knows very little about the Wild Wild West other than that it was the inspiration for a terrible Will Smith film, I am curious to know more about this because I do not know who Pecos Bill is or about his guns/lasso
Pecos Bill is an American folklore hero in the same vein as Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed. Among his feats included being raised by coyotes, using a pet rattlesnake for a lasso, using said sneklasso to wrangle a tornado, and snacking on dynamite. He fell in love with a woman he met while she was riding a giant catfish down the Rio Grande, but his horse got jealous and sabotaged the relationship.
In other words, he’s the perfect legendary figure for Quickdraw (as I now dub our Asian reverse Iron Fist) to inherit her powers from
*shrieks happily* Yes yes yes I need this.
Quickdraw feels kinda generic for a super hero name. I’d say using the naming conventions of Iron Fist I’d name her something like the Raging Gun.
Iron Six.
Can refer to the six shots on a revolver, her having six guns (each with their own name, naturally*), or her nearly-supernatural abilities to follow her enemies and show up behind them (”on their six.”)
Pecos Bill might be an old man or even a myth-spirit in the way of Discworld gods (dependent on belief, fading away without it), the elderly mentor who devotes himself to training a hero/chosen one/heir to be better than he ever was. She can represent the future of the art while the old white guy represents the past, as an inversion of both many martial arts movies and many westerns where Asian and Native American characters, respectively, pass their torches to the white dude.
*The guns are named things like Golden Sunset and Deep Canyon and Silence After Battle, poetically referencing both the vibrant geography of the Old West and the weapon’s function of ending lives.
Conclusion: human evolution has always depended in part upon some unassuming father’s ability to literally backflip his child out of the jaws of death.
i don’t give a fuck about your gun fetish. children are dying. and i don’t know how to argue empathy and basic decency. no civilian needs an assault rifle. they just don’t. there is no war zone here. only dead children. but please, keep bending over backwards to convince yourself you desperately deserve that AR-15. mental instability? lets start by looking at those who think a hot smokin’ barrel is worth innocent lives and devastated families. FFS.
How many people die each year in America from being shot with a so called “assault rifle”?
If there are other things that kill more people in America than so called “assault rifles”, should those items be banned as well?
Yeah, mate, you’re right. Every person that dies in a car is killed intentionally. Let’s get rid of the lot of ‘em.
Based on government stats in America you are more likely to die from tripping and falling than from a gun.
Shall we ban walking? I mean, if it saves just one life…
Are you unable to understand the difference between a tragic accident and premeditated mass murder?
I ask as a person who lives in a country with gun control where mass shootings are not a near-daily event.
Like, how is it that people cannot see the direct correlation between access to guns, and gun violence?
I understand that mass shootings account for about only 0.2% of my country’s murder rate and I’m not willing to infringe upon the rights of hundreds of millions of law abiding citizens in order to sell them out for policies that have already been proven to be ineffective at making America safer.
That’s what I understand.
Oh well if it’s only 0.2% then who cares about dead kids, right? Obviously the right to wave a gun around in public is more important! What was I thinking?
You know that you can legally own guns in countries with gun control, correct? They just make you do silly little things like take courses and get licenses? Like you would to drive a car?
I’m screaming. This is why nobody takes ya’lls anti-gun arguments seriously because you have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. They literally already have licenses and courses to own guns. That’s literally an actual thing that exist in this country currently. You can’t be screaming about gun control when you have no concept of what control already exists.
So then how do you explain the nearly daily mass shootings in the US if you already have adequate gun control? It doesn’t happen everywhere else, so…?
Can’t have anything to do with the fact that there are more guns than people in the US and civilians can own semi-automatic weapons and freely carry them around. That’s all gotta be a weird coincidence.
Like… I can’t really take any pro-gun argument seriously when after a school shooting, instead of crying “oh my God we must protect our nation’s children”, you all cry “oh my God we must protect our guns!”
The media calls 2 kids getting shot with a bb gun a mass shooting. Like literally by their standard there doesnt have to be a single death for it to be a mass shooting. It absolutely happens in other countries. The entire world is not the US and the UK.
Pew research shows overall more guns equal less crime. And even in the US which is a statistical outlier, the gun laws vary state to state and even city to city and universally the cities with the strictest gun control have the most crime. Like 99% of mass shootings happen in gun free zones. Are you telling me thats a coincidence?
Protecting people and giving them the means to protect themselves is What the fuck were trying to do, but you idiots wanna make the entire country into Detroit.
there’s what qualifies as a “mass shooting,” and there’s the fact that some parts of the US are just shitty violent places, and would continue to be like that even if all they had were rocks and their bare hands. chicago, detroit, gary, LA, etc.
most of the country is nothing like these places. it is an incredibly rare thing for a shooting to happen outside of these areas. but the rest of the country is judged for these areas. the people in charge of them can’t seem to get a handle on it, and the people living there can’t seem to go a weekend without murder. they’ve tried every law and every ban they can, and they were ineffective at stopping the violence.
what doesn’t help are gun-free zones. they don’t enforce them. they throw up a sign and are then shocked when a situation ends with so many people dead. there was nothing there to actually make sure some nutjob didn’t turn the place into their personal shooting gallery. that’s something that needs fixing before anything else. guns aren’t disappearing from the hands of dangerous people. people who, by law, shouldn’t be able to get them, are still finding ways to get them. which means, if you want to protect the children, maybe the priority should be actually protecting the children. or you can keep hoping some piece of legislation will magically disarm someone looking to go on a rampage.
So it turns out EA Sports UFC is far from perfect…(x)
I love how games are improving in graphics at such a rate so when you see stuff like this it still takes two seconds to realize this is not in fact the most fucked up UFC footage ever shown, but a video game
Just a reminder that Bethesda actually thought this was an acceptable way to end a story.
I’m confused… Can someone explain
Fallout 3 ends with a situation where the player has to make a choice; expose themselves or a friend to lethal radiation to save the day.
Even though the player’s companions also include three characters who are immune to radiation.
This is the mutant companion saying “you have to go in there and die, because the writers wanted it that way.”
TVTropes says that the ghoul (radiation zombie) companion flat-out-refuses, even though he’s supposed to be loyal, and the robot buddy calls the player a coward.
People got so salty Bethesda changed it in the Broken Steel add-on. Now the companions can take care of the problem.
Players would not see such railroading until Fallout 4.
