  1. You dont even need to be a couple then. Just combine your sass into super sass and bring the sassapocalypse. ...you know there are more kinds of relationships than friendship and couples... Like, I dont know, sassfriends. and I got ninjad.
  2. My general creative process is "Take something and do horrible things to it". Take an archetype, do something horrible to it, see what happens. Take two people you know, mash them up, do something horrible to them, see what happens. This does not mean you have to end up darker than usual. Take a villain, a really horrible dictator, give this villain another character they really care about, see what happens.
  3. Lets see, very little of what I like has the characters in focus and if I like characters I like them because they are interesting, not because they are likable people. Battle Angel Alita. I am pretty sure the manga has an official english translation so you dont need to find it illegally on the internet. Alita is a cyborg in a dystopian scrapheap underneath a floating island where the rich live. And despite the fact that she lives in a universe that has both perfectly mapped the human mind and the laws of physics she still manages to be philosophical and spiritual, without it coming of as naive. And it has fights, lots of really awesome fights, and an insane scientist. It is actually very uplifting despite the cynical setting. It is on my top 4 manga ever list, I have read a lot of manga. And the art is gorgeous. That is a big plus. I have not gotten far in Worm, but from what I have read I really like it. And that is really all I can think of XD Though, I dont know, maybe Kafka on the Shore had an interesting character arc, I did like it, but I dont know.
  4. On another slightly related topic, could an awakener store their perfect life sense in a tin mind?
  5. Honor Spren always has the best avatars. Carola has red hair and does art.
  6. A Trueself would be an awakeners worst nightmare. They could just steal breaths from awakened things.
  7. Now gentlemen if you are going to fight take a gold mind each and hit each other until one of you run out of health.
  8. They are glitchy bootleg parents.
  9. Weltall you have been added, now trade us things.
  10. Mars Ok, no flying on mars. Instead they have the best railroads in the solar system. Then again if they invented magnet rails that early... Japans Maglev train tops at 603 km/h, 650 is not impossible. Still not very viable though XD On one hand I kind of want water on Mars, on the other hand I like the mental image of barren, frozen deserts XD... no reason I cant have both, right? Considering all the different climates on earth. Venus Crab Dragons! I love it! Very, very sturdy trees with few branches could make sense. And yes, definitely have plants that uses the storms somehow. Everything flies on venus, if it doesnt it will be pretty much nailed to the ground... Hnnn... but I want a vacation resort on the moon... well, either the moon is now large enough to hold an atmosphere or I have gone the boring route. I already moved Venus thousands of kilometers, whatever XD
  11. Dont work in a factory, dont get married and dont have children. Three indirect lessons from my parents XD
  12. Interesting question. I think The Bearded One is correct. In fact I think you could do a lot of interesting things on Sel with Duralumin Feruchemy.
  13. She is so pretty Meanwhile I decided it would be a great idea to fall asleep next to one of my cats all day... good morning.
  14. What is this? Kaladin smiling? This cant be!
  15. Then I will read Skullduggery Pleasant. I have not read Perdido Street Station yet, but Orlion told me I would like it and I am taking his word for it. The other books are sequels, but I definitely recommend the first book in each series. The Name of The Wind and The Black Prism.
  16. Thank you! I have been having this idea for months without having any clue where to start. This helps a lot. But anyway, you understand my idea, I know Venus would be more or less impossible to terraform, so I am changing things for narrative purposes, but I dont want to change too much either... Mars Would blimps and such be impossible too? Seems like travel would be very difficult on Mars. I think I'll keep the air pressure around mountain levels, yes. I really like the idea of martians being huge, beast like creatures. Could I give Mars more water than it has in reality? Just a little bit more to solve the problem. Then again I do like the idea of having senses to gauge humidity. Venus Venus is basically Roshar, but with lots of flying creatures, got it XD Flying lizards with shells, I love it. Ok, now I have lots of ideas for fauna, how about the flora on both planets? I almost want to make Mercury... not livable, but less certain death. Maybe it has some kind of life, obviously living underneath the surface, but no one wants to go to Mercury. I once read that The Moon would have about the same climate as Florida if we terraformed it, so now I am imagining a vacation resort on the moon XD
  17. I barely even remember how to do algebra XD You use the word Redacted a lot, the SCP uses the word Redacted a lot, it makes sense
  18. Violas are a myth What is it about assassins that makes you want to write them funny? I had the same idea "I should write a spin off about the assassins in my universe... I could make it a comedy... or a comedy, comedy is the only way to go." I dont have a problem with the dialogue, then again I dont even write dialogue, so I am the wrong person to ask.
  19. I have an idea for a setting for a sci fi story that I have no idea what I shall do with, but I may as well share it. It is pretty simple. Most of earths history is the same, but somewhere during the 60s we make first contact with aliens. For very simple reasons. In this alternate reality Venus and Mars can sustain life and have both have 'intelligent' species. Sure, Venus is still warmer than earth and Mars is still colder, but they can sustain human life. Present day: Trade, politics and so on is open between the planets. You can find Martians on Venus, you can find Venusians on Earth and so on. Space travel and technology is leaps ahead because of space travel being needed. And then I need to figure out what kind of life Venus and Mars would develop... and a plot.
  20. Being misquoted out of context by people after I am gone would be a great honor XD That is way better than 1. Write around a page about the topic for 2 hours while listening to music and chatting (I once got so meta that I started my essay about how I was writing it while listening to music and chatting...) 2. Be really bored so add a couple subtle jokes in there, it will be more fun for the teacher to grade anyway, not that I like teachers so I probably mostly do it for myself. 3. Spend another two hours beating your head against the wall, trying to find a way to make it longer. 4. Give up, send it in, deal with the "You must write more" speech later. 5. If you are really lucky the teacher may give up on you and let you do it verbally. 6. Ace it, because for whatever reason you are a lot smarter when you are not bored and you have someone ask what to clarify. I think my problems are laziness and that I think people are as smart as I am and I dont need to explain into oblivion. And I hate the act of writing, I love coming up with stories, I love telling them, but writing is a necessary evil because we have not invented telepathy yet. Should just send in copperminds... then again there will probably be a very weird thought in there somewhere...
  21. I have a talent for fitting as much information in as few words as possible, the absolute opposite of the talent you need when writing essays.
  22. You know, math can be sort of cool, sometimes. You just never hear about any of the cool stuff until you hate it. School should in general be answering the question "Am I ever going to use this?" Well, with a positive that is, not with a "Nope, we wasted most of your life on stuffing your head full of useless knowledge so you wont know how to question our stupidity anymore." I start to sound like a conspiracy theorist once I start to talk about education... And Kaymyth actually works for the SCP, Im sure that is supposed to be a secret, but oh well.
  23. I'm going to Scotland on Thursday so Dresden Files are flight reading.
  24. I consider myself an atheist most days, just because we can accept being wrong does not make us not atheists.
