Underrated genre of spiderverse fanart
sibling :( always thought about that little fellow where hornet's first fight takes place, poor critter
another sketchy murky one! also, on a completely unrelated note, i am completely overwhelmed by how kind everyone here is, you're all wonderful, thankyou so much
Y'know I made a pillowfort account like...
back in 2019
but I just re-found my email and password so i'm going to start migrating my stuff over and start to try posting regularly over there
The biggest issue I had with it has been patched and honestly i'm pretty excited to start moving things over. It's gonna be A Lot, but we'll see
It's got the "Made by fans for fans" like Ao3 and the tag search system and culture like tumblr.
If ya'll can find me there at https://www.pillowfort.social/Chip 👍
Jooin meeee \o/
if you were able to figure out tumblr you'll be able to figure out pillowfort, but here's a quick review of my impressions on it so far anyway
1: tag system works like tumblr
2: communities work like subreddits
3: good blacklisting and filtering options
4: complete transparency of website costs + needs to stay functional- like Ao3
5: the website as a whole is a bit clunky but.... weirdly in a way I like it. like its just a hint of that old internet feel you dont get anymore bc everything is so OPTIMIZED OPTIMIZED OPTIMIZED. Like i wont complain if they fix it, but im also not gonna complain if the search bar is not where i normally expect it to be
6: images are limited to 2 mb which is :/ but makes sense for an indie website driven solely by community support. There is a premium option available for 4 mb for $2.49. I'll have to see if this is a downside, but looking at my own file sizes the only thing that goes above 4 mb is my most recent fanart which is 10mb as a .png file. There are many ways to reduce file sizes too without noticeably sacrificing quality
7: another draw back is that its still a small blogging platform with nowhere near the active userbase you can find on other social medias, but hey that might change.
8: you know those community features people keep begging tumblr to do? Pillowfort does them
two for example: multiple avatars and customization frames
oooh now thats a taste of old internet
honestly the more i list these things the more im like "hm! I like!"
I still like tumblr, but I like tumblr because its tumblr and not twitter or facebook. If they continue to go forward with their changes without considering feedback from the community that stuck with them through so much shit, im not going to support them with a crab day. (honestly that whole thing makes me slightly uncomfortable. Ik i did try to do my own thing with the skeleton war and in hindsight i dont know how i feel about that anymore)
idk i'd rather start from scratch with a new platform that adamantly stands by their userbase and is not profit driven. Tumblr is not going back to what it used to be. We all joke that its like Luigi wins by doing nothing but i'm not sure if thats gonna hold up in the long run
SGNSFnGnG I didnt mean to type this all but its staying
tl;dr: pillowfort has old internet vibes, come hang out
hera-the-wizard asked:
would Hornet's needle be a polearm?
she uses it predominantly as a piercing weapon, but it's implied that there's a cutting edge along the broad part, which may make it a sorta sword?
this is ignoring her throwing it and using the thread to yank it back to her
blizz4rd1203 answered:
I wouldn’t personally call it a polearm, as it’s 2/3rds blade and she does sword shit (parries, swipes etc.) With it, I’d be more tempted to call it a hand-and-a-half sword, since she uses it both single and double handed, though you are correct she does favor the point. This is probably why she uses a longer needle instead of a nail which favors the cut.
oh neat! so it's just a really long sword
After the end of a very long Google search rabbit hole, where I've been searching shortspears, bladded spears, swordspears, greatspears, cleaver, nagamaki's and whatever other kind of weapon under the sun, I've stumbled upon one of the most humorous conclusions to what Hornet's Needle is.
Is it correct? Who knows. All know is that it's either the best answer or a complete coincidence. Either way, it's comedy gold. I'm going to be calling the needle a swordstaff from now on if for no other reason than:
