Hot fire lady. WOOOOO!

Wicked ones is one of my favs cause i got a player who can't read numbers dyscalculia is a thing...but then i got another player with lizard brain who wants numbers and for those numbers do go ever higher so i did my own system...and it has crazy numbers...my players enjoy it a lot... now i am trying to make another system that's based on my previous system but using a d100 for longer progression

The first Ice Age movie was one of the few DVDs we had at home when I was little... and I still haven't seen the second movie. It added an interesting melancholy to my childhood believing Manny to be the last mamooth... same with the ice museum at the end of the movie... lot of what-ifs I came up with back then. Imagining all kinds of prequels (that I'm glad still don't exist)... But it's so cool to just think about them thanks to this trope.

Brutalism sucks and people who like it probably listen to Pierre Schaeffer

He quite literally had a Ride or Dye. Bro fumbled so hard even the gods left him for ded lol

And in that 1½ hour, a cult has coronated 2 new Century Kings

As a fellow classical style sucker, I'll have to heavily disagree with you Blue One of the loveliest things about brutalist architecture, when done correctly, is the lessening of the sensory overload on my eyes. I love my city to bits, but I admit that neo-classical style that city centre sports, facades and all (think Vienna) can be too much at times. Brutalist architecture in the 50ies-80-ies rim, from a sensory perspective, likes alternating shapes without unnecessary ornamentations, which is a visual relief. Also you can't pull dystopias using brutalism examples in movies without acknowledging that majority of it was rooted in Red Scare tactics in Cold War that people never fully deconstructed! Tsk tsk 😂

You could've mentioned Ethiopa's critical role in sheltering a good number of the first Muslims. Pretty major moment in Islamic--and thus WORLD--history, especially for the Christians' acknowledgement of the theological continuities from Christianity to Islam (notwithstanding the worship of Jesus, peace be upon him, though I have no idea how developed that bit was back then). Doesn't get into a lot of background Ethiopia at the time, but it's history.

my uni is bloody hilarious because on one hand, it has roots back to the 1500s and has gorgeous examples of architecture across the centuries and some of the most picturesque academic buildings in the uk. but our main library is a brutalist blob next to a literal castle and it's so out of place it's comical

0:43 - In light of certain attempts to impose residential restrictions on Jerusalem in this last century, I will point out that Muslims never imposed any unilateral restrictions on Jews or Christians living there. Unlike both of the latter two groups, the middle one in most recent times. I know the Crusaders' ban was likely not effectively in place for too long if at all, but the point must be made.

Honestly, Gilgamesh looking like how he does in Fate is a plus for his character's popularity. I mean, Gilgamesh is quite literally one of the most popular and iconic characters in the franchise and his sex appeal is partly the reason for it. I doubt he would have had the most fanart and merch out of all the male characters in Fate like he does now if his design was like Alexander's

Another fun thing to do in the tournament arc: The Leader and The Lancer from the Five Man Band get to beat the tar out of each other. And The Big Guy can even get in on the fun!

South Park did this brilliantly when they made Kenny dying hugely dramatic after playing it for laughs for several years 😅

Weird suggestion but, the trope of inter species relationships. Like alien human, elf human, vampire human. (Why is it always x human?) I think it would be interesting to see you take on this trope. 🙂 Love your videos.

could you do the myths and legends of christianity, catholicism, islam, judaism?

Great job discussing the tropes and ideas of brutalism so succinctly, this will prolly be my go-to video to explain it to people. Even tho I was malding and seething all the way through because I love brutalism.

Pro wrestling has a few trickster heroes, often "reformed villains" who return to the old playbook in desperate situations. Eddie Guerrero was the most classic example of this.

This video has made me double down on my idea of having the two major nations in my fantasy setting be an imperfect socialist low magic state that strives for equality through sometimes less than savoury means, and a high magic magicracy who use their godlike powers to create a gilded space age capital surrounded by blasted wasteland who are dead set on conquest because might makes right. Pretty things that I aesthetically like for villains I say!

How I described Art of War after reading it: It is a great book, which you finish in a day but meditate and contemplate for a month before understanding.

4:30 - I see red (no not you!). I ain't a fan of any military but military history isn't BORING.

WRONG!

I can't find the final episode(s) in this series on youtube😢😢😢

I thought it was about power and defensive suitability. Embassies should have that.

Re:Zero when the princess's self-proclaimed knight has to go behind her back and pull all sorts of covert plotting because he knows his princess will go and deal with the problem herself - then cry about it once she kills the things that need killed - if he doesn't.

The downtown library in Fort Worth is part of the reason i became a writer, but they should it to make condos or something

A little disappointed. No shout-out to my man Odysseus?

conceptually i love brutalism in architecture, in practice however it will always be better to have some extra flair at the very least. (edit: i will not mention brutalism in anything else because i think it tends to depend on the situation or case to case basis.)

That was fascinating! Please do more such writing tricks and hacks! :)

It would nice if you wouldn't compare apples to oranges. Try to compare common living building from Brutalism era to Art Deco era, last is petty much unusable. Fun note, about one third of the so called khushchevka built from bricks.

Brutalists: "Concrete is amazing, it can take any shape!" Also brutalists: boxes go brrrr

Petition for Blue to do a series on fictional architecture.

“We’re not so different you and I, you have your law practice, and me, I have all these fucking markers”

Love the Bath Abbey shout-out, my hometown!

As someone living in Ukraine, I can rightfully say that brutalism is shit. ESPECIALLY when it comes to residential buildings.

can we just talk about how the iron fan is apparently supposed to send a person flying around the earth like 3 times

I like this series

"Last of their kind" I planned to use in a lot of ways. An inhuman immortal caretaker of a land can be last of their culture/era/ethnic while never be one of the humans at the same time.

RUclips is sooooo broken, this video has been put in "up next" so many times i am forced to ask YT to never show content from this Channel ever again

Blue have you done a video on the Protestant Reformation? And/or Catholic Counter-reformation? Could be wild if you throw in the Mennonites/Anabaptists and Quakers/Friends and even Moravians and some of the other more radical sects.

Brutalist architecture is a trauma response change my mind

Literary anti-heroes allow for interesting exploration of characters. To simplify a literary anti-hero lacks lacks compatibility with the story they're placed in. Emmet from The Lego Movie (1, haven't seen 2) is a perfect example of this archetype as he was a bumbling idiot and genuinely incompetent for 90% of the film being more of hindrance. Another example would be Jack Sparrow as he is incredibly unreliable and is more often than not a danger or liability. Frodo from LOTR is barely functional as a hero constantly making mistakes and incorrect choices against the decision of Samwise who is the true hero of the story. Deadpool works as an antihero not because he kills or is a grump it's that fact that diegetically he's incredibly obnoxious and unlikable as a person, whereas most heroes would fight someone like Thanos because he'll destroy the world when Deadpool would do it because he sent him a christmas card and he didn't write one back. A perfect example of an Antihero, Don Quixote from the novel of the same name a false knight on the noble quest of fighting *drum roll* a windmill; incompetent and dysfunctional as the protagonist of the story.

Fun Fact: The soldiers in the Mexican American War come back in 1861 as Union and Confederate leaders.

0:04 😂 c wat ya did there

What's interesting about your assessment that the stories with Galahad are Deconstructing Lancelot is that Fate/Grand Order is kind of doing the opposite, depicting Galahad as very inhuman and weird and making Lancelot a clearly much better person.

I love the idea that knowing a plot twist in advance turns it into suspense. I've had a few stories been spoiled to me already, and they usually still manage to keep me at the edge of my seat because I _know_ it's coming, but I don't know how nor when.

quite loving the rise of ART history summarized

i feel like the primary difference between good brutalism and bad brutalism is the use of natural light, but then again is it still brutalism if it properly uses natural light? i feel like that the use of natural light and the lack of the oppressive atmosphere goes counter against what the spirit of brutalism, but maybe it's because we're now all used to brutalism being shorthand for architecture of oppressive regimes.

The fact that that Soviet housing looked nearly exact to the offices and dorms on my mid-US college campus--

I've heard it observed that there is nothing wrong with Le Corbusier's buildings that couldn't be remedied with dynamite.
