    Uncomfortable with beauty.

    I don't disagree, but sometimes it's less wish fulfillment and rather actually done for a good reason. I mean, you have to assume that there are people who are extremely attractive and go through that stuff, and if treated well it can be really interesting to explore, either the downsides of...

    Writing Prologue: yea or nay? TWO: Electric Boogaloo

    Wha- I don't understand, prologues introduce the reader to the premise of the story, it should be the hook that gets them to commit to the book, and they often contain an introduction to certain characters and/or the world that without means you miss out on context that without can leave you...

    Hmm, a speed-oriented dragon. Well then, you just have to lure it into a trap, either with gold or princesses or with an idiot shouting 'Dragons are weak and stupid', set up with some means to catch it in place, perhaps a net woven from a Dwarven chain of paradoxes, like the kind they used on...

    I have long since spent the time considering how to kill a dragon despite its near-impregnable scales.

    Oh, and tear into the wings (or just pin them to the body) while it's in flight so it falls, the impact on that'll be devastating, and blunt weapons in general could be used to deal internal damage without needing to pierce the scales.

    clamp shut the jaw while one is using it's breath attack, attack up the 'waste disposal orifice', or attack the soul directly with magic.

    @Prince_Azmiran_Myrian @SailusGebel There are many ways to harm or kill a dragon by bypassing it's scales. Sliding a blade between the scales on the belly, going for the eyes, attacking inside the throat (pretty risky that one, typically ill-advised),

    Realizing I'm way more defensive online (in a bad way) than irl. Perhaps due to a combination of a lack of tone indicators leading to me misread intent and jump to conclusions, not needing to get along with someone when they're online, and a mental disconnect inherent to the medium that makes it...

    Building Healthy Boundaries

    Same, though for me it's more stepping over boundaries of family, with other people I'm hyper-conscious of it and tend to be very reserved, because I've had boundaries drilled into me from a young age, cause I am a very touchy-feely kind of person when it comes to showing affection but my mother...

    Aim while writing

    There is no 'should', it really depends. What do you want to get out of it? If you want to get attention, or if you want to communicate a certain message, or if you wanna make money, you're gonna want to write something that readers will enjoy to facilitate the meeting of that goal. If you're...

    looking for storys like "Contract Summoner"

    Reborn from the Cosmos (on SH) has some of that. It's strangely not at the center of the story for a character who was raised a summoner, but she does use her talents there occasionally.

    Devise a Power

    A superpower where the user's tattoos give them other superpowers based on the tattoo. For example, a dragon might grant fire breath, or scales, or claws (depending on the emphasis in the artwork) Flowers might give a plant growth acceleration magic Wings on the ankles (like Hermes) for speed...

    Ethical Question

    Eh, it was a joint effort. I only just started on the forums and it's happened twice to me, so *shrug*

    Ethical Question

    I said, he doesn't have an inherent advantage, by being black.

    Ethical Question

    Still, a black dude, while maybe more statistically likely to engage in such acts, doesn't have an actual advantage when committing the act itself. An older individual however, has an inherent power advantage over the younger, they have stability, money, transportation, seniority, often housing...

    Ethical Question

    Yeah I realized that. Still, I'd bet teens and young adults are especially vulnerable to those situations as well.
