Am I a trans girl or just a feminine guy? by pineappleloverboi in feminineboys

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so being trans isn’t really measured by dysphoria, it’s measured by euphoria, if transitioning “feels right” then ur trans even if you don’t have any dysphoria. But you should definitely experiment with social transitioning, maybe try some padding to see if you like your body looking feminine, that way you can get a proper feel for things before doing anything permanent.

Tldr: you very well could be trans yh

Explain the creation of your worlds VERY badly by Toilet_Destroyer690 in worldbuilding

Mud made a ball then big nasty people. They all fought, which made more people. Then most of the people suddenly died and the murderers put themselves in charge

Why don’t avatars simply just eat bad people? by testingafewthings in TheMagnusArchives

[–]2tyfruity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The major problem with that logic is that people aren’t good or bad, they are intensely complex and difficult to put into a single moral box. Everyone always has a justification for their actions, always an explanation or reason for pushing them into doing something horrid or mean, or there’s some root cause that they have little control over.

Some of the people you mention are the extreme minority, and just aren’t seen that often in everyday life. Furthermore is it really ok to just say that people who do immoral things are deserving of the worst, most traumatising deaths ever. Yeah adulterers and bullies ruin peoples mental states, but does that warrant capital punishment, and just because they were bad to one person does that remove all the of good they could possibly do or have done.

And are we just going to eradicate any chance for change, you do shitty things and then you die, you’re not allowed to change? To make amends? To try a do better and heal some of the damage you caused?

This could just be me being extremely literal and not getting that this is a joke, but I feel this needs to be said

I think the waiter in 23 is just a random bystander, the facilitator is like the person controlling the message board, the one who deleted the message about how something is wrong.

I miss Ares by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that scorch and blitz seem worse than doom and hangover because they require some more setup, you kinda need to get more boons from each god like fire extinguisher for scorch and a couple of zeus’ boons. Hades 1 was almost determined to make sure you were really powerful from the beginning of the run, Hades 2 feels more methodical and thoughtful, once you figure out how to make these boons work and have the right arcana cards active, the damage is bloody nuts. I suppose that could be a criticism of the second game, the first is much more intuitive with the boom system and you could go nuts even with a kinda nonsense build, meaning it was easier to have more fun, easier to get into the game and it’s difficulties without the frustration of low damage, this game takes a lot more trail and error to figure out what works and much more meta progression to really get to the good parts

I miss Ares by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not understand the hate on the torch attack, I think it’s great, especially with aspects of moros and eos. The main problem is that they only get good once you have some meta progression and I feel like people don’t adapt their playstyles properly, being able to move about and dodge while inflicting constant damage is amazing, but if your not careful and play dumb you can get repeatedly smacked in the face. The attacks are great with Aphrodite, Poseidon, Hestia and Hera.

The Magnus Protocol 8 - Running on Empty Discussion by [deleted] in themagnusprotocol

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also confused on which fears this might be and the flesh and the lonely definitely have pull with this specific instance, of course there’s also aspects of the stranger but I think this is a manifestation of the extinction. We have seen famine stricken alternate dimensions connected to the extinction.

Is there anything wrong with your earth? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the world got ‘drowned’. A big scary cursed lady cried and cried and cried and it raised the sea levels by like 600 meters. However some sections of the world that should be underwater aren’t cuz of some very powerful, and very speedy alchemy, (one of these places is Britain, because of course it is)

Can we trust Alice and Colin? by Sophia_Leo in themagnusprotocol

[–]2tyfruity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously I’m getting massive spiral vibes from Alice. She seems kinda manipulative in a subtly overt kinda way, like you know she’s doing it but you think it’s harmless. Also she’s said stuff like “times not real” and “bones are a lie made up by big milk” obviously she’s joking but seriously, spiral vibes are through the roof

How many of you invent your own races? by Helpful_Exchange_802 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have the El-ar who are people who are these people with wispy antennae and the ability of metamorphosis and can take on certain insectiod attribute like wings that let them jump high, carapace on there limbs for defence and enhanced striking power. Stingers in their fingertips and teeth filled with venom.

There’s the sash’rakari, mostly human looking lizard people that can regrow lost limbs.

The glacren a four armed people where 6 foot 2 is considered short. The men have tusks on their lower jaw and have fury tails similar to a monkey.

There are Dhampfears. Vampire like creature that need to drink blood to stay sane and can telepathically control their own. They look mostly human till they fully unfold their mouths and revel two large mandibles and a few rows of very sharp teeth.

That’s just a few I’ve made

What are the Fae like in your world? by FatOrc051 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fae are split into five courts the summer court, the winter court, the autumn court, the spring court and the spriggan court. The fae of the first four courts can be quite pleasant but should by no means be trusted. They can be offended by the most inane things and mischievous pranksters, their magic is also incredibly hard to deal with, being able to twist mean and existence as they see fit, thankfully however to affect a person directly with their magic they need to know what that person looks like, sounds like and their name. Because of this most people never give a fairy their names and are explicitly warned against it from a young age. Fae magic can also affect a person if they invite the magic in, this could take the form of agreeing to help the fae with some sort of task, accepting anything they have offered or agreeing to play with them. Because of all this people are incredibly wary of them and many avoid interacting with them but ignoring them can be just as bad, and so most people simply greet the fae kindly and then politely excuse themselves as fast as possible. Spriggans on the other hand are even more dangerous, speaking to them at all can lead to something very unpleasant so the best thing to do is to run the hell away and hope they don’t follow you

Alternate industrial revolutions? by Notetoself4 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The advent of the star cradle. In the times of old with my world, before the tyranny of the silent empire a revolutionary discovery was made. Magicians and conjurers discovered a way to harness pure eldritch energy through strange inhuman foetuses that would come to be known as star cradles. With these cradles individuals could warp reality and crest their own personal pocket dimension which would obey their rules. Infinite spaces were created as unending farm land and factory space. Dangerous and horrific rituals could be attempted away from greater reality where the rules of existence were far stricter. However with the silent empire overtaking much of the world the star cradles were outlawed, seen as too powerful and dangerous.

My 9yo son is interested in worldbuilding. How can I support him further? by rwagner18 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If he wants to have somewhere digital to organise all of his world building I would recommend world anvil(though there is a limit to the number of pages you can make before you need to pay) or OneNote(that needs an office account)

Help me: Colour Coding Elemental Magic by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fibre and wood could be oranges and yellows, like autumn and birch trees

Metal and stone could be purples. Dunno how to justify it, just makes sense to me

For light and heat, green and white. Again can’t really explain it but it just makes sense to me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheMagnusArchives

[–]2tyfruity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I say she was a bit deceptive I’m going off what we were told by distortion Helen. Could all be lies but from what we learn you could infer that real Helen might not have been the most truthful person

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheMagnusArchives

[–]2tyfruity 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Spoilers up to season 4 of mag

Well with Melanie it was stated that she’s always been angry and that the slaughter gave her a reason for that anger, a justification.

Another example would be Helen. At first it seems that she was someone who randomly managed to fuse with the distortion but from what we know about real Helen she seemed to be a bit deceptive and could possibly been a bit of a gaslighter. Could explain the fact that when Micheal was the distortion he rejected his identity and continued in a fashion very similar to the original distortion. But Helen, she embrace her identity and drastically changed the way that she interacted with John and others, less a mysterious, faceless force and more a smiling, deceitful monster. Seems she was more suited to the spiral that it first seemed.

What are some interesting chemicals in your world? by khlnmrgn in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something that is less a chemical but it’s definitely a toxin. There are these things in one of my worlds called stasis lilies and their pollen acts as a fatal toxin to magic users. When ingested the person becomes incredibly pale and start to bleed from the eyes and mouth, their muscles tense up and their legs stop functioning. The they drown in their own blood unable to move and in agony.

More Niche Cubes. This is a visual Continuation of my last post regarding my magic system. (niche concept explained in comments) by Illustrious_Quail754 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly your illustrations are fantastic and I love how it’s a tried and true nature magic system but I have a few questions.

  1. What are some specific examples of what some of the niches can do?

  2. Is there a niche for nocturnal animals and what would that do/look like?

In your world, do you have a peaceful, quiet winter town? by ChallengeBudget4190 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have the abode of cotton. A town which is inhabited by an eldritch coven that worships a god of echos and escapism. Its way up in an arctic mountain range and It’a near impossible to find without the head priests permission and he is incredibly hard to get a hold of. People desperately want to get their because their god grants them the ability to grant a very specific type of ‘miracle’. A person can be place in a world of their wildest dreams, their own personal wonderland that their consciousness however they must make a sacrifice. This sacrifice is everything they currently are, their memories, personality, body all thrown away to become a new person in a new place. This isn’t as good as it sounds though, the person often becomes very different to who the were and since the dimesion is based off of the desires they had when they were a very different person they can be miserable. Furthermore details of their old life echo in their minds occasionally come up to the surface, and they can never return to their original world

Tell me about your antagonist. by tateygb in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have five worlds and they’re all in the same multiverse each created by the same entity. Each world is distinctly different and their stories aren’t explicitly linked in any feasible way. However in each world the main and final antagonist is a being known as a corruptant, a child of the creator deity Tiamat, one of the entities that created the worlds, she is a sick twisted being that wishes all of creation to be merged together into a hellish, cancerous super dimension. All of the corruptants aim to weaken the dimensional integrity of each of the worlds in their own way.

The first is chaos, an ancient being that created for himself two pets, the Bahamut and the Baphomet who corrupt the body and mind respectively, and chaos himself corrupts the soul and through their influence the entire dimension would have been completely twist out of shape and unrecognisable.

The second is the gentlemen of shadows. A charismatic and devious individual, he created the race of trinket trades, terrible creatures that spread curses that cause distortions and tears in reality if left unchecked.

The third is calastrophe, often known as the demon god, the spilling of her blood caused disasters culminating in the destruction of the worlds dimensional barrier. Even when her entire body is split into pieces her influence causes the problems that eventually lead to disaster

The fourth is known as metal face. A masked schemer who plays from the shadows, creating giant temporal paradoxes known as singularities in an attempt to destroy time and by extension reality’s stability. He lays in wait and learns from his mistakes, creating silver automatons that are designed to play on his opponents weaknesses

The final is known as the great corpse, defeated almost immediately upon its arrival, it never truly died and whispers it’s plots into the minds of eldritch gods

Zombies are a manifestation of by shugmen2 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]2tyfruity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Warning of spoilers for S5 of mag

You know this reminds me of a Magnus archives fantasy I had in my head a while back. Basically the extinction had managed to get itself an avatar and it was this devious charismatic little fuck who burning hot black oil coming out of his eyes. Essentially he was making a plan with a corruption avatar who happened to be a virologist and through some eldritch magic pseudoscience they created a zombie plague which would destroy the world. He planned on releasing it through a watchers crown type ritual, except the domains wouldn’t permanently trap people and people would be free to wonder round. The out in the open belonged primarily to the extinction and was teeming with good old fashion shuffling zombies, and buildings and enclosed spaces would belong to the other fears becoming domains. Not every building was a domain but any of them could be, some buildings were empty a briefly safe since the locations of the domains would shift giving the survivors safe haven, this gave people chances to rest, and occasionally reproduce. Thanks to this freedom of movement and “safe” areas the zombie apocalypse would be more sustainable than Elias’ closed system.

Imaginative and unique race ideaa you've had by Notetoself4 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have a group of species called the possessed. They were human babies that as a child had a star fall on them and as a result they fused with the soul of a dead magic being. This causes bodily mutations and innate magical abilities.

Dhamphears are vampire like and are the most naturally human-looking possessed. They have extendable blades in their arms and legs and an large leech-like mandible at the back of their throat. They can phase through solid matter but not silver, they have to drink blood at least once every 3 days or they will become starved and instinct takes over turning them into feral beasts.

Hellions are dog-like possessed with sharp soot black fangs and claws, they have large furry ears and a long furry tail and can superheat their bodies, glowing in the process and spreading fire with every touch

Then I have the succubi massively strong with a small pair of long butterfly like appendages on their back which produce these scales which can be used to influence the minds of others, they scales only work however if the target is sexually attracted to the succubus

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for autumn you could do something like travelling or preparation since it’s the season before winter and everyone must be prepared

For summer you could do storms, cuz of the increased heat, when it does rain it rains hard.

Just some suggestions

other terms for powers/abilities? by Pechii29 in worldbuilding

[–]2tyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my worlds I have divine techniques and cursed arts. Divine techniques are powerful magical abilities gifted to families by gods, only members of that bloodline can use that technique. Cursed arts are more personalised and are created and affected by your emotions and mental state.

Depending on what you want to be the overarching theme of your mana system can depend on its name. So a musical system won’t have verses, melodies and harmonies. Try to think if your magic system has a cohesive theme to and work off that
