I do love when this happens. I could probably think of more examples if I took the time, but the first that immediately springs to mind is Buffy the Vampire Slayer pulling a rocket launcher on a vampire.
And rockets or their launchers aren’t forged. They’re assembled. 🤓
Every weapon is assebled, even the forged ones.
Ninja stars.
Check and mate.
kunai knives i guess too
It’s kind of assembled from pig iron?
Well, if it’s a shaped explosion round, aka HEAT, then it ‘forges’ a jet of molten copper upon detonation, that is what ‘cuts’ though armor plate. Pedantic, yes. Technically not forged by human hands, also yes.
2 of the strongest sorcerer’s in JJK school vs this guy and his gun lol
I mean, the dude is just efficient. He shot the girl who was basically powerless (being the target host for a godlike being is not a power). Using the right tool for the job really.
Jjk,?
I think it’s Jujutsu Kaisen
Jewy jewy kaisanewy
That’s pretty much the plot of Mashle
Everyone is a magician, except for Mashle who just hits stuff really fucking hard. And most wizards aren’t used to getting hit by a dude who can bench press a house.
What are you talking about. Muscles are the most magical thing ever XD.
Fuck it, I haven’t watched any anime in like a decade and a half. Where can I stream or download this with English subtitles?
Edit: That website links to Crunchyroll which I hear is controversial, but it has the episodes, so I’mma watch it
Dunno, I just put my shows on Radarr and they appear on my NAS 😅
Like this?
American magic.
Something about the big bad in the first MHA movie whipping out a gun and shooting somebody just hit hard. Like this is a world where people can whip out black holes and use their skin to create anything they want, yet a pistol made everyone stop immediately and collectively shit themselves.
I cast BULLET!
Expecto parabellum!
You fool, I expected you to expect to prepare for war!

Outlaw Star had magic and magic bullets.
And a rather unfortunate navigation system
we got there in Worm early and often
What if guns are part of the power system.
The fictional world I’m building is at an interesting point. For decades, a few people have held most of the magical power and control, thus dominating entire battlefields. But firearms have just been refined to precision, meaning a good sniper can take down one of these mages in a surprise shot in one go. No sudden “spider sense” escape buttons.
Pretty sure that’s the base of the 1970 movie wizards.
“I’m glad you changed your last name you son of a bitch!” (Wizards spoilers, but it’ll probably make you want to watch to whole movie to figure out how it got here)
Wow kudos man of culture I see
Very cool, is this for a tabletop campaign?
Writing, or rather written, a book, but it’s hard to find interested literary agents. So, I’m working on a complicated plan to leverage an audience for self publishing.
I suppose I’m implying such an assassination is how the book opens, but it mostly just translates to a shift in the way warfare is conducted - fewer battle lines, more war of information.
One of my school friends was close to Sarah Maas. I hung out with her a few times, and we played online games together for years. The secret to her success was her parents’ money; they poured funding into her editing and publishing, and so she became a “self-made” literary success. I have mixed feelings about her.
I’d be curious about your work if you’re willing to share an excerpt? Lemmy might be a suitable test audience if you’re into it
I uploaded some now slightly-outdated versions of the first few chapters to Royal Road.

This is really good
I like how we can see into the character’s head. We get his senses (darkness and snowflakes from his vision, blood on his hands from touch) and his memories (the priest). It makes him very human (Klyskin?). I dig it
This is a meme where the source of its illustration perfectly portray the meme, even within its own context.
This guy uses some thing that works because it isn’t the type of media to ignore the obvious.
