After what seems like forever, a new avatar! No one's going to recognise me now!
Irina might return when the next High School DxD season starts up, but for now it's Fubuki from Kantai Collection. I decided to give her some love because most of the fandom ignores her

You're making a mistake....
Irina was a lot better. It fit you since the original was NSFW. But then again she was probably too old for you. |

Fubuki's over 70, isn't she?

What, exactly, are you implying?

She isn't going to be 70 in one's fantasies. 
Nothing you're unaware of, I'm sure.

@Yttrbio
The destroyer Fubuki was only 16 when she died (was sunk) in October 1942. Spirits, ghosts if your prefer, don't age. An example would be Yuuko from Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Fubuki's appearance is entirely appropriate. |

Do they lose weight? Er... displacement, I guess, in this case? If so, she needs to share the secrets of her diet/exercise program.

I don't watch the show so I'm not sure I follow you. Destroyers as a class are noted to be sleek and slender. They have been referred to as the greyhounds of the seas. By comparison, a cruiser or battleship is rather wide in the middle.
They pay for that slenderness. In moderate or high seas they are referred to as "lively". That means they pitch (up and down motion) and roll (to each side) to a frightening degree. Frequently doing both at once. It takes a strong stomach to be a destroyer man. I couldn't hack it. |

Well, a scale in one scene shows measurements in kilotonnes so they're quite heavy despite appearences.

That is relative. If you are comparing a destroyer to a person or even a car, they are very heavy. If you are comparing them to other warships, like a battleship or an aircraft carrier, then they are light little things. For example, the Fubuki is listed at 2,050 long tons after rebuild. The Akagi (aircraft carrier) at 41,300 long tons and the Yamato (battleship) at 72,000 long tons. A long ton is 2240 pounds.

Apparently most destroyers in the game are either younger girls or outright lolis so the creators are keeping such things in mind.

That sort of works size wise, though it would fall apart if you continued it to the larger ships. People don't get much larger, but ships do. The age thing doesn't work at all, very little of the Japanese fleet was very old. Some of the biggest ships were very new.

I switched to Madara from Natsume Yuujinchou. I love his personality.

I'd be careful if I was you as Alan and his cats are getting very territorial over here
