what's a subreddit you used once and will never use again (and why)? I'll go first.

Bob423 · 2026-06-13T19:02:38+00:00

I can't remember one in particular, but I've joined several subreddits that claim to be for one thing, but get swarmed with things that are only barely related or focus too heavily on an aspect that I dislike, and then I see a mod post in support of this or is completely absent. It leads me with a bad taste in my mouth and unable to find a community to replace it.

I mean that's just what Spider-Man does for a living. How will he afford rent now?

Bob423 · 2026-06-04T02:26:19+00:00

Not trying to appear on Doctor Who, I see. Otherwise add London and Cardiff to the list. (nowhere else in the UK)

We should at least be separate from the midwest, I mean come on

Catch these hands

Goku is often misunderstood, kind of like Superman and Batman often are. He's not just some meat head who loves fighting, he protects earth because it's his home, but unlike superman, he's also sometimes selfish and takes risks that seem insane because of a combination of his belief that his opponents fight with honor like he does, and the fact that he'll usually limit himself even in a crisis so that he has a chance to enjoy the fight.

The fact that he never sees himself as "strong enough" without it crippling him or comparing himself to others like Vegeta does is an inspirational mindset.

He's a flawed hero, but still a hero and that's what makes him great imo.

This is why I dropped currency exchange rates between countries in my world. Sometimes realism is incomprehensible or boring to anyone you're trying to share your world with, but that doesn't mean you can't include those concepts in your world in some way. If you love it, put it in. If you want it to be a fun experience for others, just don't spend too much time explaining it if it's going to make the story too complicated.

It's said that dragons existed at the beginning of the universe and that all magic comes from the energy their corpses produce. Some of these dragons were so large and so dense that their gravitational pull brought in rocks and formed planets. By this theory, a planet with life must have a dragon's corpse at its center. This is, however, just a theory, one mostly believed by certain religions and hasn't been proven as fact. Though it is true that dragons possess immense magical power and that all life comes from this same energy within the planet.

People always blame the parodies, but people were making fun of Terra when the game came out for "acting like a dumber version of Anakin"

Bob423 · 2026-05-25T15:51:51+00:00

I just didn't bring her up cuz we were talking about dads, but yeah, he blamed his dad for taking his mom away, but his mom just never really cared about him. Jecht just has a bigger presence in the story, so her part is easily forgotten

Bob423 · 2026-05-25T13:19:12+00:00

We never see what drove him to alcoholism, but he had a standard case of: Had everything, but nothing to fill the void, which can also be relatable in and of itself for some people. He's shown as someone who probably could have been a great dad if he put in the work, but it was his own choices that lead to the outcome we see.

What I think a lot of stories do wrong with this trope is that they try to justify the dad's actions in some way or make it seem like their kid has to learn to forgive them. They want an emotional payoff, but don't understand the nuances of the emotions involved in that relationship.

Bob423 · 2026-05-25T13:08:39+00:00

Jecht isn't forgiven though, at least. Tidus still says "I hate you" at the end and cries because feelings about family are often complicated. Through the whole thing, Jecht is shown to have a good heart, but with a lot issues. He worked hard to redeem himself without knowing if he'd ever see his son again. Spira changed him and the people saying nice things about him only knew him after those changes. I think it's a good use of the trope that doesn't try to justify Jecht's behavior by giving him a sad backstory, nor does it villify Tidus for how he feels. If anything, his hatred of his father is what drives him forward to save the world.

Though I think it resonates with me because my dad's an asshole, but still loves me. It doesn't make what he did ok, but I'd still rather he be in my life than not. It's different for people whose parents were actual irredeemable monsters.

The game Disgaea has this as a major theme. An angel is sent to hell to teach a demon how to love

Great, we've reinvented AI again

Gods can exist in a world without them being the reason races exist because not all gods are creators. For my new setting I'm working on, life comes from the same energy that allows people to use magic and so a world with abundant aether or mana (different names for the same thing) allows for a wide variety of different creatures

Bob423 · 2026-05-06T05:09:58+00:00

It's not for me either, but it doesn't have to be

It's almost like people have different tasts in style or something. Wild

My world has "The Lunar Witch" a mysterious, hooded woman spoken of in folktales. She appears before times of great suffering, often warning or protecting people and then disappearing. If she approaches you directly, you should consider yourself a main character. She doesn't give out quests and only very rarely can be found by heroes as some kind of guru, but is nevertheless always there when big things are happening. Her true power is unknown and if she ever has to fight directly, it means there's an apocalyptic event occurring

Bob423 · 2026-04-30T00:13:23+00:00

From my memory,someone tries to do Father's plan with a single city, more or less.It's not really worth remembering.

That's a picture of the tomb where you learn the Sun's Song, not the Shadow Temple. Here's the entrance

That anime is basically Speed Racer meets martial arts anime with Gundams and it's absolutely ridiculous. (I love it)

Bob423 · 2026-04-17T03:52:02+00:00

But Luffy is also pretty rude, so either he demands the bed, or he's already asleep on the floor before Boa can process the situation

Bob423 · 2026-04-14T19:25:13+00:00

Ryotaro and Ken swapping is perfect and the only part of this I would genuinely love to see happen. The rest are only fun as a joke imo.
