Imgur's been loading pretty slowly lately anyway, what other image hosting options are available?

Edit: crap, top of the page. Here's a slightly appropriate Bouletcorp.

It's mostly about archiving and old threads becoming unreadable. Not a huge issue in this thread as it is 99% re-posting content that will most likely be easily available in other places, but some great edits might be lost forever, which is a shame.

Kill Six Billion Demons


Alt: Return

quote:

“LEISURE KICKS

An external style, chiefly concerned with the sole use of the feet and legs to inflict powerful and rapid blows upon the opponent. The hands are reserved for killing blows only. The style is rare but its practitioners are extremely devoted.

The style is said to originate with the rogue Long Boxing master Kin Kiran. While abbess of her order she was accused of extravagance and over-indulgence by her subordinate monks. She took bribes for blessings and temple offerings and became well known for her love of gifts, wine, and luxury, plying her favors with the local magistrates to great effect. A rebellion within the temple took thirty lives and saw her exiled, beaten, bloody, and with her head shaved and fine silk abbess’s robes torn into shreds.

Kin Kiran swore from that day that she no longer deemed any martial artist worthy of her fists, and instead she would crush all who came before her under the bottom of her feet. Her arrogance was so extreme she established her own school after working as an itinerant mercenary for some time and soon drew a devoted following, resuming many of the corrupt and debased practices as former abbess. The mountain town about her school soon became a heaving den of sin and treachery, defended by rogues and bloodthirsty mercenaries, and ruled by the bloody and debauched abbess, flush with political power and coin, who was so skilled in martial arts that she could decapitate a man by kicking his head off faster than the eye could see.

The rogue school and Kin Kiran were ultimately destroyed by the mendicant knight Weishu Haoyang in 530 S.C. with use of his Invincible Heavy Crashing Wave technique. The abbess and all hundred and thirty of her acolytes were hurled off a mountain and dashed against the rocks, but her style survives to this day, despite efforts to stamp it out.”

I can't help but feel like this segment was inspired by Hotline Miami. It probably wasn't, but it was the first place my head went


Alt: Training

quote:

”EMPTY PALMS

An internal, cold-atum style said to be as ancient as the gods themselves. It is said the god Ovis taught it to the first angels, who taught it to the first human, Metia. The style involves miraculous alignment of the body’s meridians to multiply the muscular power and striking force of bare handed strikes tenfold. Since the style relies heavily on the cultivation of internal force, its external strikes may seem unassuming to the untrained eye until they hit their target with the force of an ox cart.

It is said masters of this style can so precisely align the channels of power within their body that they can project the force of their blows at range, sometimes up to thirty or forty paces away. One old master of this style, who dwells in Fifteen Rivers, makes a great show to visitors of striking a heavy cast iron bell some 5 or 6 shins high with great blows from his fists, though he stands apart from the bell quite some distance.

A practitioner of this style must take tremendous pains to use it effectively. The style was originally developed for battling and destroying various titanic void monsters and unbound devils, and is rather difficult for humans to learn. A student must train rigorously, keep a strict diet, and maintain fine bodily control in order to effectively utilize its techniques. Therefore, it has always been an unpopular school, seen as somewhat old fashioned. None, however, deny the power of its techniques, which include YISUN’s Open Palm, widely regarded as an unbeatable move.”

If it is, it hasn't yet come up in the comic. Still got time for it, though!

Also, agreed on the names. If you're gonna have a comic that includes magical martial arts you might as well have some fun with it.
Oh yeah, it's also worth mentioning that all or almost all of the styles mentioned in these excerpts are used by characters within the comic, although some cases are more speculative. For example, there's speculation that Incubus knows Head of John given what appears to be three studs embedded in his head. We also saw an angel that happened to know Leisure Kicks not too long ago here

THE DRAW PLAY



sometimes a team will get unlucky and their quarterback will get injured. sometimes their number 2 quarterback will THEN get injured. the panic becomes what if THAT guy gets injured? fans may speculate the chain of command until it gets to an absolutely silly degree. i have seen teams use non quarterback players as quarterbacks before... like the broncos using Tim Tebow! *audience erupts with hoots and hollers*



there is a team called the indianapolis colts. they dominated for years with a quarterback named Peyton Manning. When Manning got traded to a different team everyone was kinda hoping they'd be bad for a few years to let other teams in the division have a chance. They drafted a young man named Andrew Luck that they hoped would be their future. His first pass ever (although in a preseason game so it doesnt REALLY count) was a short pass that the receiver then took like 70 yards for a touchdown. as tends to happen, analysts gave way too much credit to the quarterback because they like him rather than to the player who made an outstanding effort of evading and straight up outrunning the entire opposing team.

The Saga

Touhou Peanuts



ZUN: Not actually a Touhou character, but the creator of Touhou himself. The founder and sole member of Team Shanghai Alice. Real name Jun'ya Ōta. Was formerly an employee at Taito. Calls himself the Hakurei Kannushi ("Divine master of ceremonies", responsible for the maintenance of a Shinto shrine). Very fond of beer. Based on Schroeder.

So Chamupei has made a bunch of extra Touhou Peanuts art. I'm not gonna post any more, but I'm making this one exception just because it lets me link my absolute favourite Touhou music track, Kanako's boss theme, The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field.




Alice Margatroid: Magician youkai and Marisa's neighbour. Lives in the same Forest of Magic, at least. Uses dolls. Very commonly shipped with Marisa, they teamed up in the eight game and spent a lot of it arguing like an old married couple, sometimes prioritizing snarking at each other over actually dealing with the enemies.




"Hisoutensoku" was a big object seen by various characters in the game of the same name, and was theorized to be many things, with Sanae thinking it was a giant robot like she'd seen in manga and anime, and a number of fanworks have run with this concept making it an actual giant robot. In actuality, it was a nuclear reactor-powered attraction created by the kappa to advertise their upcoming bazaar.

Yep.

I'm really fond of LAIDAD. Even though it never went anywhere, and even though it turned into some KCG comicing-about-comicing at the end. It just feels like a good object to me. The fact that it ended on purpose helps -- even a really stupid ending. Lovably stupid.

This time we get into the whole millipede issue
06/07/2013 - Of course the millipede planet has an oxygen rich atmosphere, how else would the millipedes survive?

Some of my Australian friends told me tales of “millipede season” that made my blood curdle.

06/13/2013 - I think this page sumarizes a lot of what I like about Commander

I remember once I was doing a science fair project and part of it involved swabbing an earthworm to see what kind of bacteria were on it. I don’t do well with any kind of worm, especially as a kid, so I didn’t want to. My mom (who is even worse with worms than I am) said that she’d hold the worm for me if I agreed to do it, to be my moral support. That was enough to get me to swab the worm and finish the project and win first prize at the science fair.

Seemed like a relevant story.

Good parenting.

06/19/2013 - It’s not like I like you or anything

I’m kind of disappointed by the way Sandor’s handled in the Game of Thrones TV show, I don’t feel like they quite capture that conflict between accidentally being a good guy and trying to overcompensate for it by yelling about what a bad dude nihilist he really is that he had in the books.
