Can these quotes also go here:
And these entries replace the Farscape one on Live-Action TV?:
- Farscape:
- Scorpius was once a nameless child born of a twisted breeding experiment by the Scarrans who schemed his way to freedom and murdered his abusive caretaker Tauza. After finding out about the horrific circumstances of his birth via the rape of his mother by a Scarran soldier, Scorpius dedicated himself to destroying the Scarrans in retribution. Becoming a top officer in the normally fiercely xenophobic Peacekeeper armada, Scorpius tries to hunt down the Wormhole technology in hero John Crichton's head, constantly manipulating others to his ends, using and betraying others in his way and destroying his enemies while the crew of Moya barely remains a step ahead of him, proving himself the single most brilliant and dangerous enemy John has ever faced who will stop at nothing in pursuit of his goals to destroy the Scarrans.
- Rygel XVI was Dominar of the Hynerian Empire, ruler of over six hundred billion subjects, before he was deposed by his cousin and spent over a hundred cycles in Peacekeeper captivity. He masterminded the prison break aboard Moya, and never lets the others forget it. While he's frequently dismissed by the rest of the crew due to his diminutive stature, relentless greed and self-absorption, Rygel is intelligent, cunning, a competent negotiator and statesman, and can be surprisingly violent when the situation demands it. While he makes no secret of the fact that he's out for himself first, neither will he betray the crew for no reason — as he's smart enough to know they're helpful allies, and he has to be fairly certain he'll actually profit from turning on them. If there's nothing to be gained by working against them, he'll have a flawless scheme up his sleeve to protect them. As the series goes on and Character Development sets in, Rygel lets his genuine care and love for Moya and his friends show more often, but never loses his capacity for brilliant scheming and brutal violence as needed. In "I-Yensch, You-Yensch" he becomes one of very few to cross wits with Scorpius and come out on top.
Thank you.
Got it.

~DarkPhoenix94, I'll hold off on your request
until the sinkhole issue pointed out here
is resolved.
~Anddrix, is your intent to replace the existing Title Drop entry? Seems like you're rewriting a piece of that, and dropping the rest of it. The other requests are done.
At 2000 AD, you should probably add !!Other examples after the Dredd thing.
Also, two more for Complete Monster. First Tabletop Games, second Video Games.
The Arch-Usurper's voice chokes off in a gurgle. His body twitches, swells and churns as eyes, mouths, tentacles and other organs erupt from his flesh and sink back in again. Amid all the changes, he laughs a deep, ugly laugh. The characters cannot move; they cannot sense their own bodies in their millionfold view of the world. "Be of me," the Tremere-Thing says, and the characters see the flesh of millions of people ripple and flow in response. Kindred, kine and other, their skin splits apart to release a large, slimy, chitinous creature - part insect, part reptile and all nightmare; characters may recognize it as the Horrid Form of Vicissitude. Some mortals and supernatural part-humans resist the worldwide contagion, but they are a small minority. [...]

This is kind of nitpicky, but for the "Gratuitous profanity" entry on Word Cruft, can we please move "f***ing" to before "necessary"? I just feel like no real person in a real swearing fit would say "f-ing emphasize..." like that. It sounds stilted. "F-ing necessary" sounds more natural.
Very good kittyWould it be a terrible idea to add the following image links to an image link page for Kim Kardashian as a joke, and only fill it with pictures which are as unflattering and inoffensive as possible, keeping it locked?
A potential header if that works: If you want risque pics of some LA lawyer's daughter, look elsewhere.

Please put this on Other Media, in the Dungeons & Dragons tree under Critical Role:
- Assassin
, hosted by Neal "Koibu
" Erickson: The eponymous Assassin, as played by Robert Barrera, is the most skilled agent in the Cult of Malkis, dedicated to spreading chaos to prevent societal corruption and stagnation. A skilled actor and musician, the Assassin disguises himself as a traveling bard to avoid suspicion and uses his trained charisma and countless guises to gather all the information he needs to perform his hits. His brilliance is shown through such hits as getting thrown in jail as a drunk to murder his currently arrested target, tricking local guards to kill his target after framing them for murder, and disgracing and drowning a cleric and making it look like a suicide. Even when tasked with "sending a message", he does his job well by massacring an ambassador's caravan and framing another nation or burning down an inn with a paladin inside after publicly shaming her. Despite his often cruel methods and willingness to kill innocents during his missions, the Assassin is still shown to have humanity through his interactions with children and his pet cat.

Thanks!
On Lily Orchard, the period in "Glass of Water" should be both out of the quote and out of the link.

On Mary Sue, in the list of subtypes, 30-Sue Pileup should be above Anti-Sue.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.In Anime & Manga: A to F in the entry for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, please change "Moon" to "Rank" and "Lower Kizuki" to "Lower Ranks" to make it consistent with the official translation.
Well if were doing that. Could Kizuki be changed to Rank in the entries for demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba in Anime & Manga as well.
