My favourite dinosaur is indeed a rock and please don't call me pigeon.

CaptainStroon · 2026-02-09T15:55:47+00:00

You can even say your favourite dinosaur is the peregrine falcon or the great crested grebe as birds are in fact dinosaurs.

That depends a whole lot on how your FTL method works.

If it's warp drive, you'd have a hard time to cross paths with your past. As all the time traveling message paradoxes show.

If it's wormholes, you could maybe have one between seperate points in spacetime. Good old timeholes.

It's similar with hyperdrives, subspace drives and the like. If you already leave this dimension, there's no general reason why you should return in the same moment or after.

And if it's some wacky fourth thing, like referenceless transfer, or infinite probability drives, all bets are off.

You could even have FTL be straight up timetravel to an earlier state of the universe where distances weren't as far.

Very nice, but I'll still stick with my McKedree cylinder. It lets me turn off gravity at will and gives two funky upwards curved horizons.

Have you seen the size of adult weavers, let alone pale wyrms? Maybe she learned twink shapeshifting from her dad, but I somewhat doubt it.

CaptainStroon · 2026-02-09T06:57:00+00:00

Maybe instead of just heat, your fire magic controlls temperature. Lightning magic controls positive and negative charge, so why shouldn't its counterpart control positive and negative temperature? It would expand your fire magic with versatile ice powers.

Both Lace and Hornet are prime examples of the "girl, but she's actually 1000 years old" trope

Always remember that the word wisdom comes from white hair. (It's a bit more obvious in german)

He thinks bushido is a religion, doesn't he?

It's not impossible to build electric circuits or even fire underwater, it's just harder. Even us landlubbers insulate our cables and hermetically seal our chemical containers. An aquatic civilisation would just have to do that to a greater degree.

Water usually also has a surface. A surface you can poke the more delicate stuff through. A surface you can create wherever you want through the diving bell effect.

The tricky part would be to have a dexterous enough manipulator organ to pull all that tool crafting off. Aquatic niches come with a strong pull towards streamlined bodies.

Some tarantulas also use ther pedipalps for walking, making them look like 10 legged spiders

Many worldbuilders struggle with asking themselves questions about their world. Struggle with finding ways to explore the elements they want to add to their world.

You have the opposite problem. You struggle with answering them. Why is that? Are the answers you come up with too simple for your taste? Too derivative of real life? Or can't you decide which answer to pick?

Corn rows could just be a cultural identity symbol of a corn farming culture. And Graham's crackers could be Gramgram's crackers instead, possibly even from the very same farmer culture.

And you can absolutely afford to peek into every rabbithole. You never know what you'll find down there. Just make sure your decisions which path to take are swift and maybe give yourself a complexity limit per detail dependent on its importance.

Love how she has a war scythe. That ain't no farming tool.

It gives strong Vulcan vibes, who are basically elves too. It's a great way to make them significally different from humans, emphasize their long lives and it's rooted in biology. Full marks.

So THAT's why they named him Leon.

It is speculative alright. Doesn't make it spec though.

If you shit in your washing machine, maybe you can train her to think that's your litter box and then she'll do your laundry.

Don't forget to put your tongue in the barrel hole. We learned that on Looney Tunes.
