That depends on are we talking movie-canon Stony or comics-canon.

So many of my fandoms multiplied their fic count this year, but the only one to make that list was Agent Carter.
I'm also super happy that Emma/Regina is still a thing! I stopped watching OUAT two seasons ago, but Regina always made a hell of a lot more sense to me than any of Emma's disposable love interests (let alone Regina's!) | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoydENEeUwtMkNaQ3laWVJOazJjZ0lUc2lBNDgzZjdoR0xMSkpNcHFROGpldDBFazdhU3R4RGlIekVwbUV6V3JGZk9JVTJfMUFoU0pUa213QS1pTDRJRGQ1ZmRrRm55dTlHbWxlckpsLUc0dkk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dldmb3ZyYXpzX1Z2aXAzMm1tcmhZRzV6dldUUlhxdG16T3FKZ2cxU3l2N2RONEpDVWRtRl9NNHp4MXY1bXVveG52WlBZTmlIUFFZWkZ0S1pwRHAtWU01ZnNSMWlNSG0xQU9XTUxjYmkwWm84STNkTmtGMmtZaFNvdk1XNGZjbDlja1pTWWZhNk9qaUstUktOOVNTZURERDVyR0RGN1VjeElUTDdkOTM3dTdRZUhyaGhTTnljTUxnRGVVdnNsZE1j |
Huh, I didn't realize Phandom had gotten so active on AO3. I've never really read fic for that, but it is what I consider to be my oldest fandom (since age 8, and I'm over 30 now) so maybe I should try it some day. I was a little surprised by how active HP still is. All of my favorite writers in that fandom moved on years ago, but maybe some day I should try and sit down and find some new ones. I still miss my Remus/Sirius days sometimes. Also \o/ at Stucky being "emergently active." | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyMVZqaG9JX3NtU29Ua0lxSWxPR0lNSEtieVE3R1BITThGT1N3VFAxSy13dE93X1d1SVFubkpFdUNmYlZmWTVBSDZnNllMYlQxYkNLUWNiVnFBMnJOT3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5OFFYbDZiNDc2Rk9XOU9hY1NsQmxaYnZCNWcybWUxU0JyYmV2ZVlaQ0ZVUzUzUkp1MWU0elpneFRHYVotbERLQ3JmcS1GbUF0cURINzR5Tzk0ejRwZVktRHRwc3NadjNXcXhyM01WRmJGN1ZrdFhNN0FWNFdOeS1wem9INGR3YWlXZlduSllEQ3RVQnlQMzZSajFFRV9PdWZhZl9pa0ZBRmJhYVJXMWp2aVV5eTFUeGpmX0psZmlTRXNjSFJiWmVB |
For those unfamiliar with the term, OTP stands for "One True Pairing". It's _that_ ship, you know the one, that always makes you feel like your heart's about to blow up, the one that makes you want to scream into a pillow or burst on fire when you see it, because it, and the characters in it, represent everything that is important to you in a relationship, in the narrative of the work, or on a personal or interpersonal level.
To be a fangirl is to ship. Well, not for all of us, obviously, but it's something everyone writing about us is convinced we spend most of our time doing, so what better place than here to talk about such things? :D So, what are your current/everlasting OTPs and do you know yourself to have spesific preferences in dynamic? | r/fangirls | post | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyWS1LRF9ReDREb19jaXNsSGZ2OU0tYU9jQjFoa0c5R21yMUlodEhZUWxRR0RxSFBFMlpTTEVidEk3TzZrc2FGamc5dWphR1RrMWZVa0tmdk82dHFPS3pUZ0dhNXVzd3Z3T05ZQ0RYU0ZxVjQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Q0JOdU9KMU9McXdiU2NvbTRzb2lIN1lqcTUyUEVZQ3BLUnZKZTBKUDRTUWpQREhsWjkzQjlKS1VreUxNNGowU2R1eFRIaXNaVTdWOThRbk1JeUwydTVTc1RDdVltRzRxOGxWNWJhN3Yyd2I0SWczMlBYYjhIVFgyYVVLbGxLT2hQMGFKUjBLZ2YyZ2xseVFzZDM1V0JFdE9XV2xIYnBDQ3Rzb1REZEQ1TFprPQ== |
I tend to go for close friends who have each other's back no matter what. Bickering like an old married couple is a bonus. Steve/Bucky, Remus/Sirius, Clint/Natasha, Kirk/McCoy (AOS), Kirk/Spock (TOS), Steve/Danno, Josh/Donna, Morgan/Garcia, etc. Kara/Lee could arguably fall in that category, too, and Coach/Mrs. Coach and Wash/Zoe actually *are* old married couples.
I'm not generally a huge fan of Foe Yay, but couples that start out bickering but become friends also get me hard - Benedick/Beatrice, Darcy/Lizzie, Buffy/Spike, Ron/Hermione, Sam/Ainsley, etc. I watched The Cutting Edge at an impressionable age. :)
There are some that don't fit the usual patterns (I have a bit of a thing for Remus/Regulus, for example) but those cover most of my favorites. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyUG1nVDJRNzlQLVhTRDV6NllCSlhIT24wNXZlU1RCSVl1QmlxaVVPQjR0QllYM0R2MHpOeVdQMDMtbWxfSFZWMHJJaFM0QmFyTmk3dXZ0cDFrZTl3RFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eDV3LVFZV1hUT0ZQRUs3aUZqaVpPYXF2TUVVYXpfYjJGQk1FbTlZeXdGZ3ZzY3JpWUxRUjhwQ3VnaXF6NlMxbzNRcy1vcGdxRnVmazFaeG9UemNsTlUxV0JPbjMzdTREZzNxekJZMG9RLXI3bXpvSGZQZ2E5TGk3MVRKWk5iYko3WWhqNzZZdHltYVZtVG9RRm9EdE90TTFkOS1ZV0prVkRTTUZjYnlObjNvPQ== |

I'll have a favorite character in a fandom and then build ships off of that person. I've realized that I prefer that favorite character to be the more submissive person in the relationship, whether that is with something as obvious as D/s or more about being vulnerable due to the plot beating them up.
My favorite trope is usually enemies --> friends --> lovers mixed in with a great deal of angst and misunderstandings, especially ones about a character's past where the other person realizes how much pain they've caused their truuuu love. The otp of my heart, if I had to choose just one is Charles/Erik from the recent X-men movies. My favorite favorite *favorite* thing to read in this pairing is when Erik realizes how much he has hurt Charles or how wrong he has been and has to try and redeem himself which then leads to lurve of the most perfect kind.
I'm giddy just thinking about this. I need to go find a good Cherik fic now... | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZTk0T1QyQjRXZlFhd3NibzZ1Q0tUaFZ0bFctZnhhZUhzOHROanJSREt4aC02VjcyVEQ4RGhiZm80c190aWxIN0tIQlJheTFScE5PWXRHbUhPZy12NVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5aWZBbHg4aWlwSkhINWdEY3k0Zk51SzlXbjdJSHdaUjNaN2hKN243NlI1dHV3azg4cV9KV1F6d3E1YjFKRzA5cnVwa1RRamMyS2EtOG9aWmhCQVJQQ0dXVnNkSnhvbVJwNjZNYi00eG1KWFItNmhSZ01qVFVWbjBGS3NlNGk5cHlHd2l1dmM5cXVxYlRkX1NMZUlPUEFBT25GeTFOcU1pbVRwZ3VZMmVaRUVZPQ== |
:DD An OTP that can excite you when you're just discussing it is the _correct_ kind of OTP. I have that with a few ships, any time they get so much as mentioned anywhere, I go on these long spins of fangirling and have to excuse myself from any serious plot conversation because I would probably just taint it with my feelings.
I really enjoy enemies-to-friends narratives as well, although I am super picky about them. There's a fine balance to be struck with how much pain one half of the OTP can cause to the other before I just consider them a tragically unshippable mess. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyZzdUM0k3NDlWRkhTdHk1Zk80eWJQMUFXQWtOU2pBd294NS02b0VQSEN1NWhsR1RWSzRNbTRMdDRPSVRsdm5EMnNpVlVYX04yV0djcTctd3lNOWFHeXlERzA5OXpjOUNfMHdHTXRZak1tNXc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5U2JsS2xvd05URUNHM3pNdVBxT1F3NXZJeV9BNmNFX0xsUXQ1YTZNRWhxUkF5NFd1VWtOeWRVcXVpc0RST3FEUUI4UXpsZ0xneTEtR3Q1aklTV3N5U3ZWME9aUkJhX05DWGtIVG5CSk1JS3ZjS2t0aGVTN1J6ZUtZYXdranNFTHRvdWEwS0hJQldzRGt4T0pZQjVSOFQ1R0dIdkhNRFJuZVBBMllYdGFDQXk4PQ== |

My OTP is a one of a kind trio of Jody Mills, Donna Hanscum and Gabriel from Supernatural. I just think they'd all get along great with each other. I don't really ship much and before I discovered DonJodBriel I didn't ship at all.

I've always speculated on whether the LDS has a big sway in BSA national policy since they make up over 1/3 of scouting units in the United States. I've also heard speculation on how the ban on gay scouts was lifted because of the 2012 election where Mitt Romney (a Mormon) was running against Obama and they did not want to potentially stir up a liberal hornets nest by antagonizing BSA at that point. All speculation, I have no proof of this, but I'm curious if anyone else gets the feeling that LDS is holding back BSA, whereas Scouting in other countries is very progressive, secular, and skills/citizenship focused instead of being more heavily tied to religion like it is here.

I follow Diane Duane on tumblr, because she's one of my favourite writers in the world, and oh my the sheer _glee_ I feel whenever she goes off on a fangirly spin :D It's been such a long time since audience and authors could freely intermingle, and I think that the more we realise that our favourite authors are just fallible fanpeople like ourselves, the better we can read, interprete and remix their works. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyeXVndkxtdmF4eHZLSXFKb1I0NVlPYnA3Tk5fNWxOOUYxaWRROS1FS3hHN2FzWXVSN0l6SFcxa3plOUZJRUtSOUJDQWF0ZDBUQTdDd3AwQ2hZMFVzMjhoeGJ5ejYweklqdmhQbVc0MWlKdEE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5Y2ZfQ0RMM0VpX1JIendqdmFPeTI2cGpIQnh1dnREZTRMMXhHQXB1bmVPS041NlpDVkhzSjNIYW9QenRZd0JGQmtQVWZPdVZjeU1PclA5R0kwTVFmT2VMbkFGMGkzdWozTW9RZTk0anQtSzI5Z3FpQU9zOXAzdWVkN3c2SnFnRG5qdlVOeVk2dEFnc1pBRjJPaVctT3AwQ010dWV5TTYzb3hzTk9nRlI4VXE4PQ== |

I physically recoiled when I first found out about the post and saw the part about the fic becoming EW's _property_. I come from parts unknown in the far past of fandom where you literally *had* to have a disclaimer (like, seriously, most of the archives I posted to before FF.net required it be in the text or your fic would not be published), and you always lived under a threat that if someone decided to plagiarise your fic wholesale, you were left at the mercy of a moderator who was favourable to your pleas if you wanted anything done about it.
On the other hand, I feel like if EW did publish something and the copyright holder decided to sue, the problem would then be EWs, not the fic writer's, because of the part about not "acnowledging or returning" the work in question, and a big law suit about the legality of fanfic would... probably actually do a lot of good in order to clear away the legal confusion surrounding fic. Me, personally? I think there's literally no reason that non-profit fic _shouldn't_ be protected under Fair Use, and the use of existing universes for for-profit ventures happens literally all the time. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoycXVSeUI4dkNCWjc4aWJHdGc2WDloZm5mc19Id2IwMFl1RjZOd3A2WGFiSWo4UXNuYkZoN05QXzgtWHlZMFVOZkgyam1FdEVnVmlpX3JHUHZXN0hPX3NqY0lpUVM4Ykw2RzBSeF9NV2JXdjQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5UGFuOFFxMGNMRkdheHkzZVItMWxVeURNTjJ2UWJ1S1dqMVRyNFBGMHdYdnp3YTNBVFlrOURzQ19lS0ZSRXBWbzdJZ1pEbTNzcElqUG5pRkEta2VJNnFMMDRTeGxoYmYteEY0R1Z2ZV9yelVnaG1kdU0xQTlCMVU2WGhRaE1xSDRiRGJQbVZSQnBwck01eXZDbEhtYkdmRTVaVXFJc0NIVDdiam41QlN3QzJrdldheHJKZmwyUHpSMFhVSGg5QUttUC1YMFgwemRJSFM0SWhmRnVnRGo3UT09 |

I've been a fan of the books since ~2005. The show has been kind of pissing me off in recent seasons, so I'm behind on it (haven't watched season 5).
I've mostly avoided fanfiction due to GRRM's dislike of it, even though I think he's wrong. There is tons and tons of great fanart out there, though, and I love that.
I've also mostly avoided the fandom, because there is a lot of grossly misogynistic bullshit hurled at some of the female characters from certain corners. My favorite character is Sansa Stark, and she's the recipient of much of it, so I've found it better for my blood pressure just to stay away. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-08 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoycWhQTHdNb2dLWWpBbTVCdUdDRXU4dG1MdEZrUDVjek5ITVZBZndYUmNsdi1jV0V2Y1BsRFBBWlItVEJ1dEc5NzVrYnlOYW1yLVVnQ0R6cTF2Vy0tcHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5TXBTcTNwemlWRVpZbkRsaGtYM0ZvYUZMNnE1UDJOUlItdmVOaEI1ekI0ZEdHRlpMNTFTcUxkVmVBeVBvbWFDRGd5eE01bmxYVEI2allJYWVhTUJGT0wzdG45OGctdGtVYlZBTmNLMl84RDJ6LU1qdkFhdERheGM5UGFCTFN4NVNoVV8tTmRFd0oxd1ZjUFlldVRBTm5hdUwwS2M2a1FfcWpMR1Utdl9tQ3lxUFZGVVRrOVdYZ0JuQVZFdmdNcUtDNXBoal9qNDdwcDdUN053TDU4ZXJzUT09 |

Honestly I am kind of in love with the fact that remixing and analysis are becoming such a mainstream fandom _thing_ instead of the obsessive detailwanking it used to be. Young me, who honestly thought only my friends would ever be interested in my analysis and theories, would be over the moon, reading this stuff. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyVVo0RWxVWGpIRW9Fb3V0SW02Vm0zNnUxekxhNU8wZlAxLXZtTU11TEFTMUZRaUswTzJybnV4X3I5RldhR1NJQ1lKbFdLc3NuZ1J4SXJkQ2NYTHRZbWpHQVZDZkxLZGdFQ05kWjNsTFNTb289 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5alUycGRIN0JwMWtPR3RvVEV0QU0tUzRHMU5Zel94VXZlZ3ZjRnVRVklxOEY0cVlTVXJ3T1YyWnhuOHRzb3hfYl9Yb2Vhc0ZXUXhJX0tJaHBvejBQMUlPcGFrTzZwc1cyTnEzSUY3LUlDS3h0OC1EeFM0ZEpYYjVOa0M5YTRWVGgwcFVpTTNnSktNbXJJWjFlbTBCVlZlaWJkcGswRzFEZzFnWUphRDB5dk1fRlZHT1c4MVppZ3FnQ3hzeVpBbGlRWkJMelZzUVgwU1dDVzJ2SnBtaGZQQT09 |
I've only played a few games so far, but it's awesome and I'm hooked! I'd love to play more regularly and I'll probably set up a weekly event in the future. In the meantime, would anyone like to meetup and play a few games? There's a comic shop in Logan Square that has room for tabletop gaming. Also, if you don't own the game, I have enough ships to create 2 squads.

Please weigh in! The MAYDAY.US brand should reflect the spirit of our most important asset — YOU!
Our logo should be bold, modern, inspiring. Something distinctive with personality. Something you’d be proud to wear on a T-shirt.
This is black and white to focus on image, not color.
Tell us which logos you like best and why! Example: “I like 8, and after that 6, because I like that 8 makes me feel _____ and 6 gives a sense of ______.” | r/maydaypac | post | r/MaydayPAC | 2016-01-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoydmFsbS1GSnlDYXBsR3pWODdsbnFSM09haVlZZUtEZFdpT2M0ZC15bjlYWmYzTzlOdmI5bldISlVlTzlzTzgzNUE1S2VENW1UNTc4TE1jMDRieFBGTVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5OWdaQ1VxU1lEQ0IwX2MzcFpobjVvYm9HTHJ2Zjl0X3VZb001eUE3YzBpRThuUlhBeExrZm5SRlY5c3YzV3BVWWtCZHJUR216bkJ5ZVJCM3B0SnlPUnFWSlFsa25sNE9UdUlQODgxeXFKUWhOdEZPMHdyNGJsMDgwelh1UGV5TkJjWXd1VWktUW1oMkhrVS1oTU9tVkdrLW1BcktsYlRhN3p1QjdxcUN6QW03bmVBanNUdFp4T1ctTTY1V1ZZa3dV |

Isn't it obvious? She's telling the people what they want to hear. She knows she's running against a people's champion in Bernie Sanders, so she has to at least pretend to care about the same things in order to take votes away from him.
So why is she accepting Big Money? Because she really doesn't give a damn about campaign finance reform. | r/maydaypac | comment | r/MaydayPAC | 2016-01-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyNTlVd2otY3hIUzY4V1kyN0R6NTFLa214N1VHelVoeHU0RGhmQzhSci1RcHF2YzkxMzV4N0MwTWgwNm9FZDVCWUItT3JVNktKVGFyeHoyams3ZFV4ckE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eGl0WWszOGdCTlpqaGhlZXlaRjZkelk2UjNUUHI3NnpvT05KMVBad0FacUZnMHdpZk9NUngwdFJTcktVNzJRZWNFRGZXWFJhQjBhN3VsOUdjSXR1eUthbEhVWF9ZbUJPelpyNlhEZVBaMmJvLTB4Rml4TGZJVXFDMy04OXgzbWJhT2hyZVY2NVlpaVBPcnVmelk4N3U3cldISVVlNzdUN2NLUnlDek4yelJPRG42Z3liZldtWGZDeVRKb25IOUtTa3JkZUJ0dkdXcXh3VDE0aVJzcExvZz09 |
Did you get these made by someone on Fiverr.com?
Number 1 Looks like the McAfee shield
Number 2 is boring and forgettable
Numbers 3 and 4 look like something you'd see on the chest of a superhero's costume.
Number 5 is the most half-decent of the bunch, but doesn't exactly pack a punch.
Personally, the one next to the text (when in red) is the one I like best.
And seriously, don't you have more important issues to concentrate on than a new logo?

FYI: (/u/orgamo3000 and /u/albaum)These are actually the final iterations after probably exploring 60+ logos both internally, with a branding person from apple and with a designer from the advocacy space. We wouldn't ask you guys to take time to review something unless we put a lot of thought into it. We try to be pretty careful about mis-using the communities time!
For a little more background: We had mixed feelings about the current logo. It's not bad, but it was never intended as a logo. It was a "For position only" placeholder made in two minutes that we never took out of our 2014 design templates and we ran out of time to carefully evaluate it. It was a whoops, I guess this is our logo now.
We and designers who've volunteered over the past year have find it tough to use in a lot of different media - it doesn't scale or transfer well. We didn't feel like it held it's own very well. It looks quite boring translated into black and white. We needed something more versatile and wanted something that actually had intentional identity.
After spending a few weeks thinking about what our logo needed to be and where we wanted it to go, after a few more weeks doing design work with a paid designer and a volunteer Designer/senior design manager from Apple, these logos were our best efforts.
Thanks for reviewing them carefully!
-Mario

Well, I share your pain. How did you end up with such a crappy set of logos given that you have "a paid designer and a volunteer Designer/senior design manager from Apple?"
My guess would be that the Apple designer designs something other than logos, and probably does not do marketing design, but something kind of design closer to product and engineering (e.g., User Experience).
So we have a variety of strange Ms in chevrons, and no variety of a square block-text All-Caps with a ".us" under a horizontal line.
If I were professionally critiquing this, I would stay that it conveys almost nothing in substance or mood, and the ".us-under-a-line" feels kind of like having your tail between your leg -- it's a subservient kind of symbol -- and it's too much detail to be included in a logo.
You may well be concerned that we have a non-standard URL domain, but the logo isn't the place to solve that problem. The organization is MayDay, and MayDay needs to convey something about urgency and reform. Solve the URL/domain by adequately dominating the world "mayday" in the Google ranking. There are lots of ways to do that. Solving the problem with the logo is unwise. | r/maydaypac | comment | r/MaydayPAC | 2016-01-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoySTZTRGltOWJYMHFTLXRTQkx5SHE0eUxrcWd2bVh4Q0ZSWGF0bEFNd0hZSE52V3l2c1BuLUstcDM5QVpxeV9hVDNlemZwZTV1MGlGM2t5QW1aZFZraFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5REkzdkF3MlJSODRNeU4tMjZqQ0ExcmxXbW9vWEVTYTJyZ2JIYTZ4V3MxelpSRFJUQnQ4QlRyNGRHUzNNLTFNNW9kRTkwSy0tTWtZX19rcEhCQkFiOVJoa1RYQ2VVeGRkaEJYSFc2NzJGWjV0WU93UnlKZE4wcUx0Z0hIdmtxdHBwUnRZd2FTeHY5M1BZMEJxS2N2bTNvQTNNQmVWTVVPWkFzeTN6clNhdi1pemhrMjdxbEpMRmRCOU52QjVEWm15 |
/u/albaum makes some good points. For an Apple designer, this person sure is underwhelming.
If you are going to go with an M, how about some "radiowaves" emanating from the M? That could communicate urgency. | r/maydaypac | comment | r/MaydayPAC | 2016-01-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyTDR6d1BjdVRxRnJPa2VMamtlSS1rNnpYTC1UR1ROM2p4YnFGai01amxGalE3eVFjLXVnQy1QV0FPVlBndmZDNkFHQ2RFcUVvbHpEQU9vNzBQbmk0Rmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5eDF1REVlRUJta2lVZ2VoSXJVYmg2X2lGNHVpaWVqVUpsang5VWgtSlVfV1RXZW95WTZXM0cweGp0RTIwT3Jsd3N1aG9aZXd6M2p1bDZLTTUxcFY2V2xkZGFSRjBULW01STRyZVJDcFZuWFNPZUNMWUh0anR1LXAxOWlBZU1oOVFQT3BoSklGOUZTbGtNdUJyNTVfaDlfSlJhRlo4bHlhUTVCRENHMnNRSmVQeVZqVXlZZmZWWUpucEtFVFpMR29z |
You are exactly right /u/albaum and /u/orgasmo that the idea is to communicate urgency.
It's funny you mention one with radio waves emanating from the M. We tried a couple like that but it wasn't as distinctive as the M Shield. We also tried a few versions of a life preserver but that was too victim-y instead of active.

If you're looking for a hero feel, #4 is definitely the winner.
For radio waves, I'm not referring to arcs usually used to indicate WiFi. I'm talking more akin to [lightning bolts](http://www.matadorhq.com/files/8013/6268/0206/RadioTower.png) Perhaps you could have one of the vertical lines of the M be a tower with radio waves. | r/maydaypac | comment | r/MaydayPAC | 2016-01-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoydmVOSzc5NVROWXQ1WVhINW1uam0xYkVqdncyZDJibkI5amM4UWZPNGtmWnRteDJFWjNVTHdBYml2LTFDNnJmb0RBVXJVdXNFUDNWT3otLXl5Y1k4SEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5RW5xZ05qX05DZU9aUWlVNDJleEwtby10WTBZSjFlb2c4TmQ3M013TGNPX1VWNTdGOVlDb3RCajBaTFJLOWpZTnNUV2dEVU5UUjNNNVBTSnNFV2p3cWFnd1M1M05MYlcweFNPdVZSazlHa2tSNkZvSWlidV8zdDlaV2FOYkhFRUxtVmtXS3lNZ0Y5UnVJcUNRdHQwWWtZdm1sOTNTUzZHU3AwWGJFMzFINXZQWGczWmdWa20xN2d1amM1b29Ybzhz |
"Hero feel" seems right to me, even if the result ends up being slightly cartoonish. I'm thinking like this, only with an "M" instead of a rodent, etc.:

[Professor Layton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Layton)
Professor Layton (レイトン教授 Reiton-kyōju?) is a puzzle adventure game series for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS developed by Level-5. The series consists of six games plus a film. A crossover game titled Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has also been released for the Nintendo 3DS.
The first three games follow Professor Hershel Layton and Luke Triton's adventures together. The subsequent three games and the film are prequels, and focus on how Luke and Layton met, and their "original" adventures.
Each title is based in a series of puzzles and mysteries given by the citizens of towns that the main characters visit. It is not necessary to solve all the puzzles to progress, but some are mandatory, and at certain points in the game a minimum number of puzzles must be solved before the story can continue.
The series has gone on to be one of the most successful Nintendo DS exclusive series, with the lifetime cumulative sales of Professor Layton games standing at 10 million units sold as of October 2010. As of April 2015, the series has sold over 15.5 million copies.

I just started another subreddit to discuss and promote diversity in media: /r/RepresentationMatters. I've been thinking about it for awhile, but this #OscarsSoWhite controversy and the innumerable "I don't think it's a big deal" posts on /r/movies and elsewhere was kind of the final straw. So far, it's me unloading a bunch of links I have bookmarked in various places, but if anybody would like to come over and join me, feel free! | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoydFVzYVNQYXdhVzVkNEp6Z2EwV3hfR3dXclFiRm1hZXBDT3BkRHZralZIZmRJRUw1WTRtdUlnS0RlQ2tVeGlRTXZZUW5reXhyTGljR0JVTE5mckpvdlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dUNxajV6bFJaOS0yRGl6bzVLYlMzV3ZRZENkUU9weDktY1JQV0RmZFIzTEFnQTluUVlMSWNBZzFyUDdia0dSMmpGZWdOa2hoTFc3Z3hySGlhM0l6OHlfWVdxU1p1bG9nWWVxcGhOTGFzUjRFdFFMelFkdVhtQzJLY3FDd1VGdnVYbjFLOW82SnFlZDR2LUdUcXVXbVVPaDJ6OHhCZEd0OV9mQjBuekhKMVNmcXJJTVdNSXM1Qm9QSlBPbTdCbU9T |
Oh man it's been a while :') I got really obsessed with the Layton series when I was in the military, and I think that besides the second one, I've probably played through all of them three or four times. At first, it was just to scratch my brainteaser itch (and because goddamn the soundtracks for these games are some transcendent shit), but at some point, I realised that the character writing had gotten to me, and I was hip-deep in the fandom.
I honestly don't know how the series does it. The character writing radiates personality and cheer, and the mysteries were *genuinely* clever and engaging without straying too far into implausibility even within the game's decidedly fantastic setting. The Professor's adventures kickstarted my enjoyment of peripheral storytelling, too -- the game would cram details and refer to events we never saw, giving me the feeling like these characters really had lived lives before we got to meet them.
I think my only writing quibbles with the series really started happening at the tail end of the Azran Legacy. Instead of a world-spanning, high-stakes adventure, the scale of the story never quite reached its own aspirations, and ended up collapsing under its own weight, and it never really *sold* the [family conflict](/spoiler) that well, making it just feel tacked on. I honestly enjoyed Descole a lot more when he was just a kind of an obsessive rival.
Professor Layton was also the first fandom I made friends in after I started to use tumblr. One of my dearest friends is still a huge fan, and it's super comforting being able to talk to her about it whenever I feel sad. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyYXdYZkx6UFlESGx2b3JDaHpsUmVnWEwxOFVuZEI5SG5LZWFxdkwxUUREM3JEekU1SC1iVk1PSTJoa0ZZZG8zUlFwVjI2X3kxOHdZU05zSHBUR1JXNFliSjNjSkpOUjd5UjNuSHdyOTNHYTQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5OFczRGk4enNSMUttam1UMDd3QWhaTlVWVG1qa256TlVKamtWQ3RYdHh2THo1REdkdExrNElpMk1xUHFwVUlNQ01zUGFfM3VrcUthZUIzWXQzRzZRSF9UbXAwWlp6N2gzR0ZTVk9xc0NLckxOX1pqa0tITnU3a01vOVFMNHIxaGlqRzJ5QzhhX3ZGcWppY1FpblpnQWhmcVV0QUhiMkVUbDc3SmRDX25ob1pyU01MdUVuZ1hOOFJjeXVIWUhrMlZq |
Seems like the Holiday/New Year breaks are finally ending. Supernatural comes back tomorrow, and Night Vale in February. Also have Deadpool and the next Game of Thrones season coming up very soon, and an enigmatic teaser of *something* related to Terry Pratchett that I saw on Twitter yesterday. (There's a rumor of an autobiography, and of a Wee Free Men movie. Either way, yes.) | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoycnc3SlhWQm9HNTdodEUzZFo0QTBCc0Zta1pvZWxCTmQtR3cxbHA3WVpsVV9yNTNvYWJTOGFDMjVYN2w0bEdPTGFDSGo5dVRzU1pVc3hEd1pHSGxmQ3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5S3JJMThFdUFtM3V3WEYtSWZRY3hYRkpKeW1Xc1E0RjdmSE5xSzdfVnVfVUxzZ1hUUjJyMlcwZFVEQ0FtSUNiZ2piek9HcDgxaGpEU2xOSWJfalkwamNzd2p0MWEtQ2RHdTFiWDFfN2d4LXY3Ynl2VnFJNXh3SmtjaEstd1hTV2JpQW9wbVFOV2tTekotbFBXSXlHMXhxdTFvdEdtcWRaN1Y0djU4Sm9ETVJ6Vlk3REJTRXZXRjI3eGlJak9MWXN5 |

This is less news and just a Feel I had -- I've become a moderator over at /r/SengokuBasara and occasionally people will pop up, confused over announcements for new games since nothing past number 3/Samurai Heroes has been published in the west, and I have to explain that States/Europe aren't really even considered a market for these games.
I mean, I also get to use the "Sengoku Basara is so huge in Japan they made a statue of the main character" factoid, which I love, but it's just... kind of heartbreaking. I'd love to see a bigger English-speaking fandom develop for this series, but in the absence of easily available English material, it doesn't seem all that likely that it would suddenly blow up in popularity. | r/fangirls | comment | r/Fangirls | 2016-01-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyYlF2RDJncGl3NmFYSUpXZHN3eVg2azBIel9JdkFpUmlmc1oyYWktNXlQTHRKekp3S05QRzY1NW9PVnVyMHQ4Y05TOHMtanJUVGE4RlNCeHJTelFlVVJtTEs4NzFYVWI2UE9kMnZIQW9pcFE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5dUlwbXdDTDZmWWJIRVdYQ0ZDRWpDNGJVa212VF9ocTh4cDZIQVpHX25Ud3Z5X3FMUmFkMzFHLTYzcU9DMFJLSzNGbXJqZklZR3RaYnZZZHlXMWtKdXlLdzRkakVXenJ3RlNfcHBEN3Q3NmZ0MFhKMnQ0SjBfNUlFNGZwaUpDZDVYUy1JaWgycnQ3X291Y0dVZjUyVi1ySUpvZm1qcjktSDhySGtsd0hxWHZQQms1Z0xxaVB5VXhwcVo4bVRBcVRW |
A comedic series about searching for a very important person: yourself.
This comedic scripted series is about life, love, liberty, and the pursuit of ultimate friendship with LeVar Burton. It stars Heidi Cox (Creator of the series) as Heidi and features producer Stephanie Pressman (Host of Geek 360 and Fashionably Nerdy) as Susan her somewhat misplaced sidekick after Heidi's partner (played by Co-Creator Megan Green) disappears down under.
A lot of female actors and directors are part of this unique show, and they only need a little push to get the final episodes done.

I'm working on a fantasy novel where the crew sails the "Aether" aboard an 18th century sailing ship. I've picked the Swan class as my ship model because a) it's a pretty class, b) sloops don't get enough love, and c) I've got good pictures of models.
What I don't have, though, is a great understanding of how the inside of the vessel was laid out, which is important to me in describing conditions aboard.
Obviously, this novel is not a work of historical fiction, so it isn't as if I'll have some hardcore grognards on me about minor details, but I want to give my ship and sailing a better realistic treatment than a Disney movie...
If anybody has any book recommendations, I'd definitely appreciate it.
PS: As a bonus, if anybody has a good book recommendation about 18th Century sailing in general, I'd accept that as well, as while I'm a veteran, I wasn't in the Navy and my personal sailing experience is limited to the Hobiecat Sunfish. | r/sailingbooks | post | r/SailingBooks | 2016-01-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyV2Q1OWxBSXlOTFNIcF92SjVCeXhrR0VlUEs3S2E3cnBGQ1JzcnJ4S0hseEExaWE1VEJiMkhUbXozTUZWcTRQbV81OGxBTEwwMDZOdzY2ME1paG41X2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5bzh6U0ZNOUxlRXJKUGhPNllMUnJtNk1JVkQwa3VYb3dNS09wN1RfSC12VUtFWG14N1loVWd0d0dZS3EzVjFjTWFWNGw2MDRHMzZ3OGVkY3c2ZURfeHU0eE1UcEdIbFZIM3J3MXhJU3k2dFJSbC1TSF9DUnR4Qk51ZG82aG1uQjJVb0NOSHhXWUpycFBjSXFMX0VPTDhSYkYxU0JYX2VfVHRyamktSWNlUGpLZEJwY2JsZU9XTElwUTFRWFBUSWozaU4wVWtkeE5vYVYzZ0V3MGZ2MUowZz09 |

So my Mother and my Aunt use ancestry.com. I know. Anyway, they seem pretty conservative and patient with it and try and double check and so on and so forth. Anyways, they have been telling me recently that they have traced us back directly to Mary Boleyn which even if it's true probably doesn't mean much of anything but if it IS true I'd want to know because that's really interesting. So is there any way to verify such a claim? | r/ancientmigrations | post | r/AncientMigrations | 2016-01-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyaEtWb0lkYWl2QWg3a2JnTXpPUTFPSzBWYkJPNGllc3FtMk5ibUVSdmR2M3NFVjY2UHNMYl9qZFpQR3drcWRmY2hxVnIxU2dNRHpiM25UbVN5SVFOR2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5WDRWY1g0amN2ek13NUVsRHlGclRPVWZHWWVqMnJFbTkyU2RRWHp0dlJHTXBqaWMxUXFrYmFGcWQ0RzB3NFNQX0ZiMWtqbmhKM2xqWnNDT04teVBxMERMeTRVcEJXQTR5TE01d1JJMVR6Q3ZUNFQ0OVlIWXYzYlEydm53LW5oWW5OOGxLazZMSEEya05tM3ktVlVoc3RJYmFEWnBBQVJWQ0hwdGl4cDdveThKVVR3dXptR1JNSlZ0TmFRUmtiUU1RT01LbUs5U2xMdl9LWlNTU3ZSSzNMQT09 |
Well, the new season of X-Files came out!! I only have been into it for a couple years and seeing it on tv was amazing (though I could have gone with less Ford commercials) Mulder and Scully have definitely aged, actor and character wise, but the show holds up and it was way better than IWTB!

YEAH!! IT IS BACK!!!
The X-Files is an American science fiction drama television series created by Chris Carter. The program originally aired from September 10, 1993, to May 19, 2002, on Fox, spanning nine seasons and 202 episodes. The series revolves around FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating X-Files: marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of aliens and the paranormal while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder's discoveries to debunk his work and thus return him to mainstream cases. Early in the series, both agents become pawns in a larger conflict and come to trust only each other. They develop a close relationship, which begins as a platonic friendship, but becomes a romance by the end of the series. In addition to the series-spanning story arc, "Monster-of-the-Week" episodes form roughly two-thirds of all episodes.
The series also spawned a franchise which includes The Lone Gunmen spin-off, two theatrical films and accompanying merchandise. After the final theatrical film in 2008, fans continued to push for a third movie to conclude the series' plot lines. In March 2015, it was announced the series would return as a miniseries, with Chris Carter as executive producer and writer, and David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, William B. Davis, and Annabeth Gish all reprising their roles.[6][7] It premiered on January 24, 2016.[8]

Here's my problem that I need your help with. Thank you in advance.
I get either ASTER or SRTM digital elevation maps from earthexplorer.usgs.gov (I use the preview images, because they are perfectly adequate for my project). When I want the DEM of certain country, how do I go about erasing the areas outside its borders in an accurate way? Standard map layout don't seem to line up with the mosaic of elevation map tiles I download from the website. Any ideas?

At the moment, the DEMs I got from [here](http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/) (I got the previews, because they're large enough for my project [does the actual data give different results?]) make for an image like this when put together: [link](http://imgur.com/RZSD8sG)
Is there any way to solve this? I need a consistent map...

Hi:
Because of a rare Y-haplotype that I apparently have (I-P259, which is apparently less than 1000 years old), people came together to pay for most of a Big Y test with FTDNA, the results of which I'll receive later next month. As you can see from the list below, I have done tests with AncestryDNA, FTDNA, and 23andMe. I'm just wondering…with all of this data and with all of these tools I'm connected to…what should be my next steps?

Hi /r/mapprojects,
I am an absolute beginner in mapmaking and am looking for some advice. I want to create a political map of Europe around 1956. It must show the member states of two international organizations, the OEEC and the UNECE. The membership of the two IOs overlapped, i.e. some countries were members in both organizations. The map should look similar to [this example](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Cold_war_europe_economic_alliances_map_fr.png ), but in greyscale.
I found several easy solutions for coloring in contemporary Europe, but none with historical borders. Do you have any suggestions? | r/mapprojects | post | r/mapprojects | 2016-02-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFoyOXdDalVZczRtQ2w2V1dqb3g4LXFTX3ZHY3VuN0pac2NjdHlHSnRBckNHRnN0dWFBbEU5YWpldVZMVWp2MVhYV1RsamNmWXVfbjZwVkpRTzN1NGd3b0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm41SFo5MnNiSC02ajQzVzdqUTRnUEh6OXZtUDVLZDhLSURpajVEUUU3SkI2SG0wRGhOSGZqTHkyeklBaEEzVTdaV09uenhfYVkyVXd0d1Y5MzBlTm5YMjJObUdMX2FUWi12T3lBTWxFUWVmUTZ6dlhTM0g4RnNWVDZnVlJOSWZFVmhjaVRmeC1lWU9zOHRnTnNUQkY2XzJYMUw1NWc1MzR5S1NXQkEwcVc1LVdtSk1HTHFqbE1GNWNId2NNLUVZME5UdDlL |
In the month of February, GOES-14, normally in standby mode in case of problems with GOES-East or -West, will be operating in Super Rapid Scan Operations mode, taking images with a 1-minute temporal resolution (as opposed to the normal 15-minute scan time), all in preparation for the next-generation GOES-R series satellites due to launch later this year.
Watching the weather develop and evolve in 1-minute steps can be critical for severe weather forecasting—but it's also beautiful and mesmerizing even for the layperson.
The limitation is a relatively small spatial footprint. It can't gather whole-disk or even CONUS imagery at 1-minute intervals; it has to focus on a smaller region for rapid scanning. Currently the satellite is [watching a swath from East Texas in the southwest corner to Montreal at the extreme northeast,](https://puu.sh/mTB9C/75c45e4bed.jpg) probably to track the front currently over the Mississppi valley. The area being watched will change over the month.
So, how to view SRSO data?
[Here's a summary of sources from NOAA](http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/srsor2016/GOES-14_SRSOR.html).
* [SSEC animation page](http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/1min/index.php?action=view_animation&req_method=nframes_enddate&enddate=20160202&endtime=latest&nframes=120&band=1&res=1&aniwidth=1600&aniheight=1200), my favorite.
* [SSEC's RealEarth](http://wms.ssec.wisc.edu/?products=SRSOR-IR.57,SRSOR-VIS.78¢er=39.774769485295465,-94.8779296875&zoom=4&width=946&height=662&timeproduct=SRSOR-IR×pan=-3600s) visualization tool. Options galore, but kind of fiddly.
