Apple Seed

The fox appeared first as a flicker of movement beneath the brambles. Old twigs beneath his legs snapped and the grass snipped as he skittered from view. Its coat now hung in matted clumps, the gray of concrete sludge. Patches of fur stuck out at impossible angles, crusted with swathes of dried mud, decaying leaves, and what might have been week-old carrion. It stepped lightly into the clearing,…

May I present the elemental forces of nature from Kingdom Of Loathing to those not aware of them?

It will always be funny to me to have "the elemental plane of X", where X is absolutely not an element. Like "The elemental plane of bunny" from my magical-magician-post.

Because sure, I can imagine the idea that there's worlds that are just full of fire/water/air/earth, and this is somehow Natural and Vital to the continued existence of the world. Why not? The universe/multiverse might as well work that way.

But the idea that there's an entire dimension that's just the platonic ideal of CHEESE? Hilarious. S tier worldbuilding. More. Tell me about the inhabitants of the Elemental Plane of Swords. Hell*, get weird with it. Who says it had to be nouns for objects?

What's going on in the Elemental Plane of Treachery? The Elemental Plane of Chicago. The Elemental Plane of Language. The Elemental Plane of Next Thursday. The Elemental Plane of Yearning.

And if you can explain how any of these are needed to keep the world spinning, all the better.

I meant that metaphorically but for all I know, in your setting the reason the world spins is because of an open rift to the Elemental Plane of Rotation.

* better known as the Elemental Plane of Punishment, of course.

Question about your changling AU, where did you learn about the ins and outs of Fae and Changling myths? I'm interested in learning too but not sure where to start lol

some of the lore I have for the AU I crafted myself, otherwise I read a lot of old faerie tales growing up and my mom, for some reason, knows an awful lot about shit like that, so some of it is just innate from her. otherwise i just read a lotttttt of books around the concepts of these things when I was younger because I was fascinated with jim henson's worlds

Seeing people blame dumb elements on Dragons Rising is so funny when the first few elements we were introduced to included Mind and Gravity and Sound and Speed which are very clearly Not Elements

I love how Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse said “Anyone can be Spider-Man”. I love how it inspired everyone to imagine their own Spider-People, saving the day in their own universes, with all kinds of cool, interesting personalities and aesthetics and mutations and life stories and relationships. We all put pieces of our soul into these homemade heroes. We had fun. We found community. And then Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse said, “Wow, great job! You’ve really taken our message to heart. Well, get ready for even more of everything you liked from the first movie and a new message to complement the first. Anyone can be Spider-Man… and anyone can be pulled into a cult.”

So now we all have to contemplate whether our lovingly crafted heroes would ever be on Team Mandatory Trauma Because Martyr Complex or not and why.

Elements in Ninjago are quickly turning into quirks in MHA and i love it tf do you mean Nokt’s element is brute force

That means Nokt is very likely to be much stronger than Cole with his strength, because Cole’s strength is a part of his element, not his element itself. So technically Nokt could very easily break a building made in metal in two, and could force his way through practically anything. He could also cause much greater earthquakes than Cole could with a punch to the ground WAIT

Okay they could possibly make a scene where Nokt causes an earth quake on a huge scale and Cole is forced to push himself beyond his limits to try stop it??

Anyways, with the element Brute Force what else could Nokt do that isn’t in the obvious?? In the more darker side he could probably rip a person into two halves, in the lighter side he would be great at juggling three houses, or people if you want to see him juggling the rest of the Five.

ngl I always find it wild to see Star Wars stuff that's like "if you think about it in terms of realistic statistics/science then..." about almost any aspect of it.

I mean, what about the Star Wars films gives the impression that this universe abides by realistic statistics, or realistic anything else? SW is broadly a fantasy epic projected onto an IMAX screen with a space background painted on it. Yeah, the planets and moons in the films almost always have improbably limited biomes and two major locations max, because narratively these locations are usually just fantasy city-states with space aesthetics.

Starships travel at the speed of plot and we simply jump past the amount of time that presumably is passing, and sort of imply the passage of that time through shifts in the character dynamics. But this passage of time cannot be analyzed with any kind of consistency because the only logic governing it is the pace of the story.

Just how long did it take the Empire to send a full contingent of forces to Dantooine, search the entire planet, find the Rebel base, and then report back to Tarkin between one scene and another? No one says and no one appears to care. How long did it take Han and Leia to reach Bespin and what exactly went on between them while Luke was, in the same time frame, going through a protracted training over multiple days at an absolute minimum? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do giant space worms survive inside asteroids that somehow have an Earth-approximate gravitational field and I guess an atmosphere? Shhhh don't think about it. The point of the sequence is not "how does the giant space worm subsist off this random asteroid and how does it breathe and how does gravity work in this context, seriously" but that the giant worm sequence is fucking sick.

There's probably some after the fact EU justification invented by people who had nothing to do with the original writing of the space worm (or perhaps there are several mutually incompatible explanations) and I am profoundly disinterested in them. Nothing could make this even slightly realistic and it was never intended to be. Star Wars sings space shanties at scientific/mathematical realism as it sails past on a completely different ship going in the exact opposite direction.

And I do mean "sails" because while astronomy might tell us that space is unfamiliar and wild on a level we as Earthbound lifeforms can barely comprehend, Star Wars understands that space is basically an ocean, yet with stars and cool but survivable planets in it, or sometimes it's air but combined with a super cool space background so you can have early 20th century aerial combat that would make no sense in actual space conditions and doesn't need to.

"If you consider relativity, then just running the Empire would be..." General relativity does not govern the galaxy far, far away. Space magic does. I'm not sure there are even time zones.

You find the girl wearing that necklace, she's your arsonist. Murderer. Excuse me? Arson happens to property. This girl's a murderer.

I can hear the wind

Rustling between the leaves of trees

At my leisure

Sometimes I realize

This is not a small blessing
