There's... more than a couple decent 'ruto fics with Neji or Hanabi either as main characters or central figures, for what that's worth. I... can't actually recall any off the top of my head, but they're out there. Be an area you'd have to skim into the smaller fics, though. Lengthy ones are harder to find (though there's still a couple).

E: Actually, I'm looking for one I think I do remember, but... anyway. Fic walking looking for it ran into this: A Fox and a Shark Walk into a Bar, which I remember being amusing for reasons I can't recall, because the last time I read it was probably not long after it was last updated. Pretty sure it died, but it was fun until then.

Also haha! I wasn't remembering a Neji fic, I was remembering this. Hell if I remember why. Ah well.

This was nice. Last time I read it, I think it was in the 200k range, but... whatever. Iirc, inquisitorial ship ends up at Babylon 5. And. Stuff happens! Vaguely remember pretty great stuff. It's been a while.

... probably going to put it on the re-read list, now.

E: There's actually a good handful of damn good B5 fics, now that I think about it. It regularly surprises me.

Ehn, I forget the details but it's been readjusted so it doesn't get too crazy. Some math thing that makes it work out, I'unno. Code's somewhere in there. They do stack up to some degree, though.

Now, earlier in T4's development? Passive movement speed shoring up an active buff could literally break the game. Could bring movement cost below zero and actually have you gain energy whenever you move (So you could move 10-20 times, and then get a free attack, and then move 10-20 times again, and...), which was pretty hilarious but hella' broken.

You can really stack up the passive +movespeed these days, though. A lot more item slots offer it. Personally tend to wear feathersteel for a long, looong time, heh. Think my last mindslayer's been wearing the thing since like the pre-teens (and is currently in the forties.).

E: Well. That was... borderline embarrassing. Character couldn't hit prox enough times in a row (Acc was dead even with Prox's defense) to actually bring the bugger's health down.

So, uh. I kited him around a pond until he drowned.

I mean, yeesh. I knew it could happen, sure. I knew killing Prox as a general thing wasn't exactly the hardest thing to do. But killing him without actually being able to damage him? That's a new one for me.

Kinda' hilarious, but being in a situation where you actually resort to that because it's the only way (short of going to another zone and getting some levels, anyway) to take Prox down...

The former trends toward well written.

It would not surprise me to learn of some feminist claiming that Mary Curie's experiments were the only real science because it was the only science done by a woman. She's not even close to the only female scientist, but she's the only one a feminist would probably think of.

... actually, when it comes up in regard to the harder sciences it's usually to point out where/how gender bias has royally fucked up the scientific process. At least that's how I've seen feminist scientific critiques tend to play out. Which is something has happened quite a few times. Actually had a teacher that had worked with Elisabeth Lloyd a little, during his graduate studies, on "The Case of the Female Orgasm", which was more or less about exactly that (bias infecting the scientific process) in relation to evolutionary science.

Which... yeah. Bias causes problems in science, gender bias or otherwise. Amazing, right?

I don't see the resemblance between Chewbacca and a sand-midget.

Bushwookie. Wookie that is like a bush. Green wookie midget. Grass type jawa.

But ah, I see the resemblance.

Though, to reiterate:

I'unno man, the thought of running around as a Jawa teabagging people and shouting racial slurs against the Hutt is oddly appealing.

Elektro is one of the two cities, the other being Cherno. They're short for Elektrosadmuffin and Chernobagsalad.

Illumination! So is the Electra insinuation intentional or...?

_{also good gods this post is more quote than post}

... bushwookie? Would that be, like, a grass type jawa? And... Elektro...?

Croutons seem to go well with just about everything, too. Apparently. So probably!

Only entrails dishes I can think off the top of my head are haggis and chitlins*, and I've never tried either (with or without croutons), but hell, breaded haggis sounds like something you'd do, so croutons would probably go well with it.

*E: Though apparently they make chitlins out of things besides possum. I have learned something new!
