  1. My life is a lie. Backtrack post coming soon, featuring a no-dialogue cameo from Nighthound and Lucentia. Edge, I was going to have them pass through a small outdoor marketplace on their way to their destination, which Backtrack would witness. Would they steal any food as they passed by? I don't recall any of them having breakfast.
  2. I just got involved in two Doctor Who arguments on Reddit before realizing I was bitterly arguing with the exact same person on both threads. Now I have this song playing in my head.
  3. I love it when they almost make a topic that's somewhat legible but don't quite make it. It's like we're watching the derpy preschool days of the world's worst artificial intelligence.
  4. Didn't you have to close your requests thread because you were so swamped with fans?
  5. It's frustrating how many extremely talented people think their skills are utter garbage, and then works like Fifty Shades of Grey skyrocket in popularity. In other randomness.
  6. "Oh, I don't know. Why aren't you in your coffin? You know the sun's out, right?"
  7. Running over sickly-looking chickens with my destrier is one of my pet peeves, so we're all very much on topic.
  8. Chickens. There are no other words.
  9. If my time in the Reckoners RPG holds any sway, character meetings are so much more satisfying when both writers are working towards it without a definite plan and it happens as a natural consequence of the surroundings. Too many plans make the whole thing stale, in my opinion. So let's just drop the TARDIS on Scadrial and watch the fireworks. Let Florianne hear rumors of a mysterious Doctor snooping around the noble houses. Let the Doctor hear about the influence of her house and decide to bluff his way into a ball. There are plenty of ways to have a meeting happen, and I think we'll hit upon the best one if we close our eyes and write it with a free spirit. I'd be game for that. Shall we write in in a PM and present it when Lark gives the go-ahead?
  10. It's society's way of asserting dominance over you--forcing you to prove your loyalty by making yourself uncomfortable to serve it. Say no to society. Bare your teeth at society. Strip off your clothes as you snarl at society. Brandish your hands like claws at society, then clamber up a tree and howl at the moon. Show society who's boss. Let society know that you are an animal that it can never break, a horse it can never saddle, a feral hound it can never collar. Tell society that you have fangs and you're not afraid to use them. Or just do what I do and wear bright MLP t-shirts outside the house everywhere you go. Same thing, really.
  11. New meme in my household: (Major Big Hero 6 spoilers)
  12. EXACTLY. I joke with my brother with fake spoilers, but I always make sure they're completely absurd and couldn't possibly be mistaken for the real deal. "The Doctor lending Ant-Man his sonic screwdriver was an amazing cameo." "I really loved Twilight Sparkle showing up at the end of The Avengers. Wanna bet that they use the Elements of Harmony on Thanos?" That sort of thing. I can't stand it when people post plausible or even halfway plausible "joke" spoilers.
  13. Only one way to settle this. Can Bruce Apparate into Hogwarts?
  14. For great ideas like the DW/Cosmere roleplay and the Secret Santa thread.
  15. Well that's just the problem. She's dumped his dead body in the backyard eight different times, but he always comes back, acting like nothing at all happened.
  16. I'm not good at descriptions. I would have just defaulted to "Seonid's awesome fantasy setting where there are gods, reincarnated familiar spirits, and really awesome magics."
  17. Updated accordingly with a link to my primary OC post.
  18. Use my imagination... use my imagination... imagination intensifies Ah. Unicorns have horns for the same reason rhinoceroses and other real-life horned animals do: protecting weaker members of the herd. Unicorns are noble creatures which seek out young maidens and protect them, and were thus particularly remarkable in the misogynistic society of medieval Europe. Thank you Morzathoth. You made unicorns all the more gentle and wonderful to me. P.S. Dolphins are also the only other species to have launched attempts to free stuck whales from harbors.
  19. Fixed that for you.
  20. Didn't think anyone would actually remember that. No, it's not finished. I've had a hard time figuring out exactly how to make it work in a card game format; if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear 'em.
  21. Rewatching old Christmas specials can bring all sorts of strange ideas, and this evening I had one while watching the old classic Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. In the movie an infant Santa Claus is abandoned in the frozen wastelands of the north, and is taken in by the kind Kringle elves. The Kringle clan is composed of a large number of brothers all with similar appearances and similar-sounding names and one mother, Tanta Kringle. We learn via Tanta's explanations that the Kringle elves enjoy working to create toys, and in times past even worked for human royalty. What species on Earth are labor-focused groups of siblings led by a single matriarch who happens to be the workers' mother? Ants, bees, and termites come to my mind immediately. This also puts into perspective why the elves are so blindly loyal to Santa in later years; the queen elf, Tanta Kringle, eventually passes away. The elves feel the compulsion to continue working, and Santa takes advantage of this instinct to open up a global toy factory.
  22. Dang. Working in a theater when a movie you want to see is playing must be rough. I salute you, Rubix et al. This is a great policy.
  23. You can't knock down a block tower until you've built it up!
