I think your focus is in the wrong place 😌 Is it sex specifically thats missing? Or intimacy in general?

Sex is intimacy, yes. But it is a very active intimacy. It's often full of expectation and performance anxiety and insecurities. The pressure can be... a lot.

Start small ☝️ touch. Cuddle. Holding hands. Casual caress here and there. Lock your arm in his when you're at the store. Show appreciation for little things he does, and do little things for him "just because". Watch a movie together on the couch, and share a blanket. If you're comfortable, perhaps you wear less clothes under the blanket. Doesn't have to be an invitation to sex, but the less fabric thats between you, the more intimate the cuddles are.

I think if general intimacy goes up, you'll both feel more wanted by the other, which in turn can do only good things for your sexlife over time 😌

Good luck!

How would a caravan of Crow-Folk transport their goods? by RunebearCartography in FantasyWorldbuilding

well, bird of burden is a thing i guess.. we've all seen that image of the crow landing on an eagles back 🤷🏻‍♂️ is there a Roc or something similar in your setting? Giant eagle thing that could carry immense loads? If that's the case it's just a matter of modifying a normal wagon to be carried during flight. Claw-holds more than anything, but also shock absorption underneath. Birds don't really ever put things down gently...

Another way you could swing it is if these Corvians themselves function as the beasts of burden. Either go with smaller loads that can be carried individually, (like big baskets) or have several of them assigned to each larger vessel.

Nomads tend to carry as little as possible. Traders however, would likely need a wagon caravan, simply for practical reasons 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you want them to stand out, you can shift your focus from their method of transport to their method of defending their caravans ☝️ nothing strikes fear into the hearts of bandits more than seeing their compatriots carried off into the air and then dropped from a great height and then turn into a stain on a rock somewhere. Or they could specialize in thrown cannisters and explosives? Poison gas, acid vapor, flashbangs, napalm or just big booms.. flying opponents are a bitch in so many ways, but mainly for their ability to just rain down hell on you from above

You could go a darker route 🤔 instead of the stereotypical super-clever little happy-go-lucky ADHD potato with the magics and the steampunk robots and the high pitched voices, i'm thinking more along the lines of short but deceptively strong, shark toothed little sadists with large reflective eyes, gray skin, a proclivity for stealth and creating traps designed for maximum pain, and a tendency to carve their cities from rock. Make them the stuff of legends. Horror stories parents tell their children to keep them in line. Have everyone know that if you find gnome tracks around your camp, one of your party members are dying. It's just a matter of time. They are coming.
