    Well... I'm not a science-y person myself, but I bet a dose of evolution could explain it. Some races on this world might have developed specialized proteins capable of absorbing the magical radiation. These people would thus be able to utilize the energy directly, while other groups would have to rely on indirect means. Sunwater... Sunwater's more complicated to talk about, since I'm not sure what physical property of the light is stored in the water. However, if you want to explain the two groups solely through the presence or lack of a special protein, I think that would work just fine. You could even include that same protein in the hides of animals or the leaves of plants, allowing even more avenues for magical specialization.

    I got bored, so I read a Reddit thread called "Use 5 words to describe your current frustrations."

    Gary's not a human being. He was actually an android, designed solely for the purpose of providing a challenge to Red and motivating him on his quest to become Pokemon master. That's why he always takes the Pokemon with a type advantage over yours--his sole purpose for existence is to seize a strategic advantage over Red. That's why he's always directly ahead of you--he has no goals of his own. He's just there to be slightly in front of Red. That's why he's not celebrated even for his brief time as Champion, and his own "grandfather" congratulates a complete stranger but won't even shake Gary's hand. Gary's just a piece of metal that followed its programming; would you congratulate a toaster for making good toast? But Oak made a tragic mistake. When Gary loses his Raticate on the S. S. Anne, he mourns. He's found in Lavender Town's Pokemon cemetery later, suggesting his prized Pokemon died that day. But while the cold metal champion he was designed to be would shed no tears, Gary felt grief. He couldn't understand what he was feeling or even why he felt it. All he knew was that the task that meant everything to him was breaking his mechanical heart with each passing day. That is the tragedy of Gary Oak.

    She eats one grape popsicle, and everyone assumes she's goth! Forgive my ignorance, but who is Goth Lolita?

    Probably not, given that I can't figure out a way she'd acquire any. Though given that a tulle skirt and purple lipstick would fit the style she admires, maybe Funtimes can give her a makeover on the next game day. If she's going to be marked by an Epic as her own, she might as well be marked in a way she can approve of.

    Well, there's an easy way to remedy this. Retcon Nathan so that his years in grey metallic Newcago made him color-blind.

    When was she blonde? I don't think I've ever envisioned her as anything but dark-haired. Was she blonde when Twi was still writing her?
  10. Kobold King
    I hardly think that's necessary. I'd love to read it, as would everyone here I'd reckon.

    I tentatively envisioned it as a sort of black tulle skirt coming down to about knee-length, a bit ragged for being a bit old. Looking back on it jeans make more sense for a girl in Portland looking to keep a (somewhat) low profile, but mental pictures can be difficult things to shake.
  12. Kobold King
    I might ask the same thing, in his position, simply because I usually have a pretty solid mental image of my characters that can be thrown off by a stray line. For instance, I imagined Sam wearing a skirt before you specified her wearing jeans in the first Protector Pug post. It's not a big deal, and the jeans actually make more sense, but I can see why mail-mi might prefer to read through it before it becomes canon.

    My grandmother has literally spent the last decade of her life planning for her demise. For years she has planned out every last detail about her funeral and will. She has marked every seat at her funeral with instructions for who should sit where. She has selected an entire playlist of songs to play during the ceremony, and has already printed out lyrics sheets for us to follow. Every last trinket in her house has a predetermined home for when she passes away. I'd be worried about her, but given that she made these plans a decade ago and hasn't declined in health since, I'm not sure what to think of her obsession with getting every last detail taken care of. On the bright side, she doesn't object to a bit of snark during the planning conversations. GRANDMA: This is where you'll sit, Jared. Right between your daddy and your little brother. ME: Well, wait just a minute. You could realistically live another ten to twenty years before this is an issue. What if I have a wife and kids by then? Where can they sit? GRANDMA: Well, I'll change the arrangements if you get married. ME: What if you don't have time to? What if I get married on the same day you have your funeral? GRANDMA: You're not allowed to get married on my funeral day. ME: Oh, way to make this all about you.

    That's a mistranslation. The Shin word is actually "Cuteless". By the way, since the admins usually make a point to close threads once they get to 100 pages, would anyone mind if I went ahead and started "Random Stuff II" at the end of this page? I already ponified myself doing it, though I suppose I could post it regardless of whether or not I'm the one who starts it.

    I have my own theory about what Gavilar secretly was. (No spoilers in this spoiler tag. )

    No relevance to the current conversation, but how many other Star Trek fans are Oregon RPers? I just finished a big Deep Space Nine marathon, and I can't stop imagining Nighthound as Gul Jägar and Lucentia as a successful legate on the Cardassian council.

    Yikes. That sounds terrifying. Is there any chance of a chiropractor or a similar expert being able to get rid of whatever weird tension keeps causing the problem?

    Granted. When they stop laughing, they will be forced to speak in a strange tonal language using only the words "blubber," "turnip," and "archipelago." This effect will be forced upon them until you leave their vicinity, and cults will arise proclaiming you to be a wicked sorceress with power over language. I wish for an awesome meme idea.

    Unfortunately I read a lot of anarchist and other wise anti-government works online, so I'd probably have the FBI breaking down my door if I visit that site too often.

    As I pointed out in my "Calamitygazing" topic, this doesn't really explain it. After all, Calamity seems to be orders of magnitude less bright than the sun, and amateur astronomers can still make out solar details like sunspots with commercially available telescopes. Even with Calamity being a much smaller target, one would think NASA had the resources to magnify his image and find out there was a winged fiery archangel just above Sputnik.

    He's a guy running for president here in America. A lot of people love him, a lot of others hate him, and I have no clue who he is or what he stands for apart from his terrible hairdo.
  24. Kobold King
    Just no one make fun of his hair, or else there'll be hell toupée.

    You know you're being unreasonable when even the tyrannical ruler of the changelings can't fathom your rules.
