There are actually several good theories on possible ways abiogenesis could have occured, and they have recreated certain pieces of the puzzle. Not the whole thing, yet, but it's only a matter of time And I don't believe that anything is possible given enough time, I believe that in enough...

It's not a physical law like the others, at least as far as I have heard when I went down that rabbit hole, and the explanations made sense. And, a fully functioning computer will not arrive from purely natural processes? What is a brain, if not a natural computer? And we have good reason to...

Entropy isn't a physical law; it's a statistical one. It is simply more probable for things in an 'orderly' state to revert to a more 'chaotic' one, on scales so immense that for any practical purpose to us, one can say that entropy always increases. But by freak chance, it is possible for...

The concepts of entropy and the supernatural/spiritual can coexist. But there are just so many different possibilities when it comes to the spiritual that it often isn't useful to discuss any specifics. Souls may exist, and they may be reborn, but who's to say that all souls are reborn? That all...

Perfect proof of my point. Even if all you said came to pass, entropy comes for the life of every universe, humanity would fall like any other so-called divinely ordained ruler species as the universe itself frays to nothing, only to reform and birth a new one long after time has lost all...

Spoken like a human who's read too many fairytales, humans are already on the path to destroying themselves, they need not any help. The humans will destroy themselves in their greed, endless growth is unsustainable, they will fall. And Mother Nature will reclaim the Earth, as it has done...

Obviously, the answer is demons. Humans are lame, Vampires have too many arbitrary weaknesses.

I've seen abilities with names that are like a full-ass poem. In Bioshifter by Thundamoo (which is on Royal Road), and I think in The Harvester, by idk off the top of my head, on SH. Personally, I think the long names have to actually be used tactfully to have any real impact, the physical...

It depends. Could be a tool for focus, a trigger for a shortcut to activating whatever the ability is, or it could be that verbally invoking your spell/ability/whatever increases it's power. It's probably at least somewhat instinctual too, and usually the name isn't being pulled out of nowhere...

Fair, that's part of why I don't use just an elemental magic system, but rather, have multiple magic systems, with elemental magic just being the most common and easy to use. I think the opposite of Creation would be Void, and Entropy's would be Enthalpy (could also be called into Chaos and...

(First thread I've made, AHH!) Ok, so Elements are common, almost a staple, in fantasy magic. I'm sure most people have heard of the 'classical elements', earth, water, fire, air, (and aether) for the West, and wood, fire, water, earth, and metal for the East. But those aren't the only elements...

Generally no, and it would make me uncomfortable to read about, but if I'm in the right headspace to handle it then, if written well, it can be interesting. If I were to write a story, with the magic system I've devised, mind-alteration magic would be very, very difficult and complicated. Like...

Nothing cuts like the thorns of broken glass~ the direct approach may see you with your skin in my possession, and wouldn't that be an ironic turn of events?

I have a feeling there's been a misunderstanding on the nature of gifts. This feels more like corporate bullshit, and that's Devil territory. You're one soul away from getting sued for trademark infringement. Or tooth. Do you really want to get in a legal battle with the tooth fairy? She's...

If I got isekaid into my own fictional universe (technically haven't actually written it but whatevs) then that would mean that, according to it's rules, the reason I had knowledge about it beforehand could be for about, 3 different reasons? Two of which would definitely give me a distinct...

That's hard cause you're a puppet, but I'm gonna say true cause meat suit puppetting a skeleton

I don't recognize it. I have read a decent amount of Salvos and some Amelia by Melas though

They were all true. The demon slime is one of my headmates, her name is Violet! I mean, I am also somewhat enamored by my intelligence, by that's tempered by the knowledge that I just got lucky to be born that way, and that being smart doesn't stop me from also being stupid sometimes. Uhm you...

When you stay up all night scrawling miscellaneous magical runes in your notebook. When you stay up all night chatting and flirting with the demon slime in your head. When you give all of your OC self inserts horrible trauma when you yourself are mostly untraumatized. When you bounce from...

From a 'what sounds more natural' point of view, race, but when talking about 'what's technically correct', species.
