Tons? What are Tons? Surely, you mean Mega-Urist.

Still love this episode, and hate what they later did to Iron Will. He wasn't evil! He honoured his deal! His method just didn't work for Fluttershy, because she took it too literal.

Missing one of my favourites! Starswirl's Frankenstein!

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Marechine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Marechine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omneighssiah.

Well, if we look at the angle it is lifted, I'd guess the point of contact it about the same length away from the edge of the depicted scene as the point she lifts. That's a rather small building...
RedEternal
Yeah, I love that guy! Actually got me interested in a bit of cooking!

The star of David is two Triangles forming a star. The pentagram is a five-pointed star that is drawn with one continuous line.

I'd add Never Dead Ned from the Novel "In the Company of Ogres". For an immortal, he dies a lot. He just can't stay dead, no matter how much he wishes to. He keeps scars of it. One of his ears is burnt to a crisp, and his left arm once came back while cut off, and now has a bit of a mean personality. On top of that, he's rather incompetent at pretty much everything. He is then put in charge to try and get the worst of the worst, a company of all those that would deserve to be thrown out of the Army but aren't, into an actually profitable part of it. Hijinks follow. (He dies on arrival because the roc that brought him there slips and falls on him).
Later, it turns out he is the vessel for an almighty demon that destroyed multiple universes already, but has grown tired of it and asked the gods of the universe it resides in now to bind it. Should the vessel truly die, the demon would reawaken and probably destroy everything.
Another example from the book would be Owen, the blind oracle. Because he is blind, he cannot see the future, but he can hear it with an 89% chance of being right. He can also smell it with a chance of 98%. No, it hasn't been useful yet.
Generally, it's one of my favourite books.
RedEternal
Yeah! Make Grandpapa Nurgle proud! Spread his blessings!

Not as a goblin, as you got your own model. You could try to sneak though. Other than that...there is Sibayad, a trade-town on the surface that accepts everyone.
RedEternal
I can recommend Arelith if you are looking for RP. They have goblins as a base race, although you will be confined to the Underdark mostly, with only a few surface areas being accepting of you. Still, you CAN go everywhere, just expect other characters to tell you NO if it is a place that doesn't like Monstrous Species. There are also quite a few Goblin characters that rose to fame IC.

I mean, it was made by Whedon, what did we expect?

Leaving Lepidoptera... Please don't touch the display, little boy. Oh-ho-ho... cute. Moving to the next aisle, we have Arachnida, the spiders, our finest collection. This friendly little fellow is the Heptithilidae, unfortunately harmless. Next to him... the nasty Lycosa Raptoria. His tiny fangs cause creeping ulcerations of the skin. And here... my prize, The Black Widow. Isn't she lovely and so deadly? Her kiss is fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake. You see, her venom is highly neuro-toxic. Which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system, causing intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, loss of conciousness, violent convulsions, and, finally... uh, death. You know, what I think I love the most about her is her in-born need to dominate and possess. In fact, immediately after the consummation of her marriage to the smaller and weaker male of the species, she kills and eats him. Oohoo, she is delicious! And I hope he was.
If I may put forward a slice of personal phylosophy, I feel that Man has ruled this world as a stumbling, demented child-king long enough! And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!

Als Gott die Bundesländer gemacht hat, hat er jedem Bundesland einen Dialekt gegeben. Doch als er zu den Hessen kam, stellte er fest, dass er keinen mehr zu vergeben hatte. Der Hesse weinte bitterlich. "Wie soll ich denn nun reden, lieber Gott?" "Ey, dann babbelste halt wie isch."
RedEternal
Gods, the ending annoyed me soooo much. I thought the moral was meant to be "You don't need superpowers to be special." Instead it ended with "Hey, we are more than our powers. We are a family, we have a village to support us. We are worth something even without pow- oh, they're back. Time to get back to work, I guess. Until everyone starts breaking down again. Hopefully someone else will be able to deal with it then!"

I'll offer a piece from John Kovalic on that:
RedEternal
A gneiss answer.

Imagine how funny that cut scene would've been with foammourne instead. "What are you doing, my son?" "Succeeding you, father...gimme a moment, I'm sure it'll work in a minute. Just...just stay there, ok?"
RedEternal
Saw the picture and it just popped into my mind. Guess once you're in her web, the Black Widow never lets you go.

Pffff. Most of us are self-aware enough to laugh about that joke. It actually is all a Slaaneshi plot, and I for one am happy with it! Colorful ponies for the Prince!

Heh, Starlight and Trixie, the chaos couple, with Red Star Sledgehammer and Molotovs. Ready for the revolution!

I mean, let's use those old shapes, but use them for different sins! We usually have: Fat Gluttony, carnal Sexy Lust, Tophat Greed, lazy sloth, muscle-boy wrath, good-looking pride, ugly gremlin envy.
So, instead of the big muscle dude being Wrath, he could be Greed. He uses these muscles to bully people into giving him what he wants. Everything not nailed down is his to take, and if he can pry it loose, even from cold dead hands, it's not nailed down. Greed doesn't spend money. Greed is just hoarding everything he can get.
Instead of Greed being the monopoly-dude, it's Envy. Yes, Envy has everything. More money than he could ever spend. But Envy wants to have what others have. Envy is lonely. He envies others for their simple lives, their happy family, their friendships, everything he cannot truly have, no matter how much money he would spend.
Instead of Greed being the ugly gremlin, that's Lust. Lust is not beautiful. It always bugged me a bit that Lust, unlike the other sins, is usually depicted as INSPIRING the sin, instead of COMMITTING the sin. Lust lusts over things, drooling all over whenever it sees something that wakes up its Lusty behaviour. They go online to look at people, they stalk them, ever lusting, never getting the satisfaction they crave.
Instead of Lust being the carnally sexy girl, it's sloth. She uses her good looks to get other people to do everything for her. Carry her around, feed her, make her feel good, and she does not need to lift a single finger.
Instead of Sloth being the thin, slouching guy, that's Gluttony. Gluttony eats and eats and eats. Gluttony does not get fat through that. It doesn't even really get any energy out of it. No energy, no drive, no nothing, just endless consumption of food into basically a black hole for food.
Instead of Gluttony being the fat man, that's Pride. Pride knows he's the best, the most beautiful, he can do anything! Even if people tell him that he's ugly and useless, he knows that he's the best. Let them talk, they know nothing, they are all beneath him.
And lastly, instead of Pride, Wrath is the high and haughty one. They get angry when people don't give them what they want. Praise, money, love, no matter how insignificant the insult is they perceive, they get angry. They ridicule them in social media, they drive a wedge between them and their friends, they do everything to see them cry. And they are never satiated. They remember everyone that wronged them, and they will all suffer their wrath for as long as they live.

Do you mean to say you do not appease the machine spirit?! Get your holy oil and give it a good massage!
