    The poor use of "Androgynous"

    LOL! It's been a while since I've picked up a xianxia! *says defensively* I'm cultured... I promise.??

    Are you for or against

    *has to look up what tartar sauce is* Ohhh, now I remember what it tastes like. It's been a while since I've tasted it. Ehhh... I could see it being good. If only because I enjoy my family's recipe of homemade pizza with spinach and zucchini underneath the cheese, sweet potato slices on top...

    The poor use of "Androgynous"

    Yeah... I've seen "androgynous" over-used recently myself. They use "androgynous" to describe the entire individual and then undercut it by describing every characteristic of the individual either very characteristically masculine or feminine characters. Not only that, but I've seen it overused...

    The Morality of Accidents

    I agree they should seal themselves away if they are on the good side if their control over their touch cannot be solved by proper protective clothing, training, and/or turning off their power. Ultimately, while lethal, unless it is transmissable through clothing (some more esoteric powers will...

    Indeed. In a similar vein to that, with great power comes terrible optics. If you don't use it...

    Indeed. In a similar vein to that, with great power comes terrible optics. If you don't use it with the utmost efficacy (in garnering wealth, sacrificing your life to help selflessly, & being powerful and great in a fight) then many will hate you for "misusing" your great power. They expect you...

    *gasp* Is that... a tickle I feel? *rubs nose uncomfortably* No... No I think I'm fine now. I think I dodged a bullet. Your jinx did not work!

    The Morality of Accidents

    At what point would you decide this? Is there a good hypothetical fantasy situation that would demarcate the dividing ground between not too dangerous and too dangerous?

    The Morality of Accidents

    I'm curious as to what are the limits of your understanding for others. How much can you sympathize with someone who has caused carnage through no fault of their own? In fiction, there are many stories of unwilling accessories to murder. Apparently, in law in the U.S.A., if you are forced to...

    Where does wish fulfillment go too far?

    One of the areas I can tell you does NOT make a story inherently wish fulfillment, despite many people saying otherwise, is a story being fan fiction. While fan fiction is often thought of as a wish fulfillment-dominated genre, too often is it slapped with the criticism that a story is just...

    Worm Fanfics

    No, no! LOL! I definitely prefer female canon characters as protagonists, with female OCs being second. Easier to sympathize and empathize for me. The main reason why the fics I mention in the original post are dominated by male OCs is there is a dearth of Royal Road worm fanfics (and I...

    Which humanoid monster do you believe represents the deadly sin/of pride?

    I would imagine certain features for this hypothetical humanoid monster that best matches the sin of pride. The lips are naturally inclined to pull down in a grimace of visceral disgust, perhaps bestial jaws like a feral dog's threatening posturing (or more fantastically, like lizard humanoid...

    Favorite angst or grim trope

    That's a good one! I like how the Cupheads show handles it. Gives those old classic cartoon vibes.

    Favorite angst or grim trope

    What's your favorite angsty or grim trope? Where you enjoy the suffering of the character? They can be overarching tropes like a slapstick series of increasingly unfortunate events. Or personality tropes. An example being main characters that are genuinely suicidal. The classic, time-honored...

    Powers borne through suffering

    That power is certainly fittingly personal and twisted for you. My apologies for making you feel like you had to defend yourself. I overstepped in making an assumption. I hope I didn't hurt you in expressing curiosity for painful memories. I shouldn't have done so, especially when I made it part...

    Powers borne through suffering

    But that deals with the sleep deprivation caused by the baby after childbirth, rather than the traumatic event of childbirth itself (which is presumably the traumatic event you are thinking of). Perhaps you're thinking of a different event though, like being roofied and waking in the midst of...

    Powers borne through suffering

    I shouldn't need to, because more than a single word does not a convoluted power make. It's supposed to be a personal power that is twisted based off of your own personal trauma or traumatic events that you can actually see yourself likely to experience, not a singular concept that is so broad...
