Jealous towards future generations that can causally bodymod themselves like that.

References: Depends a lot on the references. If the MC has a background similar to our world, blatant references or even name drops to older stuff should be fine, especially stuff that has entered the collective cultural background or has turned into (from our perspective outdated) memes...

You did see that I literally have a song supporting my argument, right? That automatically invalidates any argument to the contrary below the threshold of Abraham Lincoln riding a bear with a shotgun or Chris Pratt riding a Raptor. This need more likes.

The internet is for porn.

Theoretically tabletop wargaming. In practice, it's mostly building and converting the models. I should get a wet palette soon-ish, so hopefully that'll at least help with getting paint on plastic. Once the whole [scientific word for Crows -r -ae]-situation gets better, I might even have...

The Sisters of Silence and Yvraine seem to be hair cuffs as mentioned above. Very elaborate in case of Yvraine. Now for Abaddon, his topknot seems to be kept in place by simple leather straps wrapped around it. The model has small spikes sticking between the layers, so maybe there is a metal...

Ivy Robotnik X Femsonic? Btw. Shadow never was a clone of Sonic. He's usually way older than Sonic, albeit stuck in cryosleep or something similar for most of it.

There are a lot of questions you'll have to answer for yourself when deciding on a tool like that. How in depth do you want to go (outlines of continents and maybe states, detailed geography, ...)? Do you want to create your own map or is one generated by an algorithm something you'd like? How...

Funnily enough, the real world has slime molds. Which makes it all the more interesting that there are no myths about slime creatures, as these things should be pretty hard to understand without pesky things like cell theory. Honestly, I'm glad these things are usually small, they sound like...

A usable comparison might be anglerfish for the horny. They lure in their (predominantly male) prey in with their looks and singing, but unlike Succubi and Incubi, it's less death by Snu Snu and draining of essence and more actual mauling and literal eating. I'm not sure this really fits, but...

There seem to be two discussions going on at the same time, both about the real world history of different fantasy races (though species might be more accurate) and in universe possibilities. (decided to cut most of it, go look at the original post) Nice summary, though I noticed you stopped at...

I would differentiate between POV characters and MC(s), but that's more of an aside. POV characters can be one off or recurring with varying frequency and can, there's really no big limitation to what an author can do besides to their skill in pulling it off. The most important aspect is...

That's a really tricky question and has a bunch of factors to keep in mind: -Is the romance a big part of the plot? (if not, the GL subplot tag might fit better then GL as a genre) -Is it the MC or a supporting character? (similar to above, or maybe no tag at all) -Is there buildup for the...

Historically, probably because Drow were one of the most prominent early iterations of what got labelled as Dark Elves and got used as a template. Maybe that's also where they manga/anime depiction is derived from, with the pure black skin shifted to a strong tan because manga typically are...

I kind of like all variations of skin color on elves I've seen so far. Tanned Elves like in anime can be as hot as Drow (I will admit to having a thing for high contrast). But the same goes for purple, whiteish light blue, snow white, grey, purple, goldish ... I don't think I've seen much green...

When magic operates in accordance with a hard magic system magic research is just as much a science as physics or chemistry though. The mechanisms behind it may be different. but it's still possible to create testable, falsifiable hypotheses and derive laws and theories from them. I have to...

There are a lot of aspects to consider. The rules and limitations of the specific magic system are a huge determining factor, but also things like the general environment. In a world with what is usually called a hard magic system, magic would be a science like any other, and could be used to...

I'm not a writer, but I know I'd not be good at it. I'm somewhat decent with big picture plotting, or I'd like to believe that at least. But I am abysmal when it comes to forming an actually readable text out of it. I wanted to try my hand at DMing and got something that I think could have been...

Depends a lot on the missing tags for me. Like, expecting a nice, funny story and suddenly having thrown general tragedy and torture at you is a lot worse than a missing Fantasy or Science Fiction tag, which usually can be inferred from the description too. What irks me the most is the insanity...

Taxes might not be the right word, yes. It's often more like sustenance, basically bypassing the act of exchanging some form of currency with food. Also, worship might also be a bad term here, as it implies at least some form of awareness for the existence of the gods on the side of the mortals...
