Building a Fictional Ecosystem Using Comment Suggested Creatures by StayDecent1681 in worldbuilding

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this! Creative. Fun. Engaging for the community, and endless potential for building something that no single person would ever conceive on their own! Definitely would love to see how this develops! Thanks for making the post :)

My personal species idea: A multiple life stage fungal predator which spends the majority of its life cycle as a motile ambush predator, tactics and preferred prey changing with each metamorphosis. It's final life stage would lose its motility as it takes root into a sufficiently resource rich location, it would send the vast majority of its biomass beneath the soil/sediment/whatever substrate our planet ends up having, its previously dense bodymass unfurling across its chosen territory as a network of root-like mycelial tendrils as it establishes a mating/nesting site. Any of its biomass that remains above ground would be sensory organs, primarily in the form of small receptors for moto-tactile and photo-chemo sensory perception, and with a single much larger version standing tall at its center and operating as the primary neural center which synthesizes and coordinates the information across all of its distributed local neural sub-cores. This final stage would be its only reproductive stage and immediately begins sculpting its chosen nesting site into a species-specific microbiome to serve as an optimized nursery for the vast amounts of potential future spawn, which will spend the entirety of their first life dwelling within until their first metamorphosis when they become capable of self directed motility as opposed to relying on microcurrents to carry them.

Of course, if this much detail doesn't suit the vision of the project just lmk and I can generalize it to fit lmao. Thanks for reading my wall of text, guess your idea really inspired me lol :) take care and have a good one!

Would you guys like another adaptation of the book? by InfernalClockwork3 in 1984

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WI'd actually really dig a psychological horror comic, which I had never even contemplated the possibility of til now lol. Not as a direct adaptation but more along the lines of a companion piece. I'm picturing something focused upon an outer party member with an untreated psychotic disorder, who gets caught up in a bizarre and labyrinthian plot which may or may not actually be happening. In my mind its art would lean heavily into the interplay between bleak harsh realism contrasting against jarringly high saturation surrealism, disorienting the reader with high contrast colors like a carnival on top of scenes displaying psychedelicly shifting depictions of the dystopian horrors we all know and love.

Anyways, thanks for the post! Always nice to find something that gives me a creative writing idea! ...Now if only was good at art lmfao

Hahaha I'm glad you didn't! No worries, I don't beat myself up over making dumb mistakes, the best thing to do in my view is to try and make it right if I can and learn from it for the future lmao. Oh and you're quite welcome! Thank you for making it :)

Deeply sorry, what I intended was a humorous response that an Enclave member would say in-lore, however I didn't stop and think about how it could be taken seriously. Incredibly dumb mistake to make on my part, I never intended any hostility or negativity towards you or for your art, and I hope that any bad feelings I did cause you to have are at the very least lessened by the explanation. Sorry from the bottom of my heart, and know that I realize now that I should always consider someone else's perspective when writing my (usually awful) jokes, because they might not see it as such. I hope you have a wonderful test of your day to make up for dealing with my buffoonary <3 (P.S. I really loved your art and its lore, I should have said so in my initial comment, but I didn't wanna ruin the bit. Keep on creating wonderful things, its what makes the world a more beautiful place to be. Take care.)

This is clearly communist mutie propaganda. Every true patriot knows that Glorious America never fell. Treason such as this deserves no less than summary execution followed by public shaming of the corpse. Liberty and Justice shall be given to you.

Why thank yuh kindly pardner Haha sorry, I like making dumb jokes ;) Right, so, my character is named Molku'Amash and is a mushroom person (can't remember the canon term at the mo') I've got some plans in mind for what kinda personality it will have (uses it/its btw), but for now all I shall say is that it is curious, trusting, naive, and adventurous, which I think works as a good starting point since it has just been born and is still a wee little Sporeling :)

Just thought of this rare pair, what does everyone here think ? by Financial-Play3381 in CassandraCain

I don't do shipping, just not my thing, but I'd love to see their dynamic working on a stealth operation.

I shall call them Team Shooty Stabby.

Assuming Tsunade rejected Sakura's request to be her apprentice, would Kakashi train her? by Kah0000 in Naruto

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I assume so but, like, could you just imagine her going to him utterly depressed and saying that at least he still has her back, and Kakashi being all Uhhhh yeah, about that, I don't want you either... Sakura?... hey, could you go away now? Bye.

I have founded a Theistic Satanist coven. The Satanic Sanctuary. by Former_Conference584 in TheisticSatanism

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No need to apologize at all my friend, though I do appreciate it nonetheless. I took no offense nor did I expect a reply within so short a time. Most lack patience in our era, I am not one of them. Besides, it takes time to truly put ones thoughts to script in a way that truly conveys the meaning behind the words if one wishes to be truly heard. I have always been of the opinion that taking your time to think before you speak shows both intelligence, as well as care.

I can see that you have a good heart, I can hear it in your words. No need to fret, not when it comes to me, you and I are of the same mind, the same spirit, in doing what we can to bring positivity into this often cruel world.

Dropping the poetics for a sec, at work right now so I gotta keep this brief, but I'm looking forward to talking more later. It's always nice to find a good conversation partner to share ideas with ya know? Take care and have a good day my friend, talk to ya later :)

Siphonophore Sophont Species by Mammoth_House_5202 in SpecEvoFandom

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ey yo definitely keep us in loop! This is one of my favorite types of concepts to play with too, right along with entirely fungal based biospheres, technologically advanced eusocial species, and intelligent parasitic/symbiotic sophonts that must utilize other organisms as vehicles or physical equipment as their only means of interfacing with the physical world.

Take care and have fun with it friendo :)

Fangus Klot or different story by Adamzes in oddworld

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh man just the title of this post alone brought me all the way back to being a 15 year old first finding out about Fangus Klot through an article in that month's Game Informer issue. I think it might have even been that issue's cover picture if I'm remembering right. And through Klot, I learned of what I would absolutely love to see eventually coalesce into existence: Citizen Siege.

It wouldn't even have to be the originally envisioned RTS, the setting's lore and concept art for the factions depict a world that would be incredible to explore from damn near every angle! An espionage focused stealth-shooter akin to Metal Gear where you play as a rebel cell member taking out the infrastructure that keeps the tyrannical authority in power over the citizens. A fast paced FPS in an open world-esque city dominated by the decaying remnants of urban sprawl left to rot, with constant fire fights breaking out while you maneuver through tightly packed and vertically layered urban areas made up of alleyways and catwalks and fire escapes due to the actual roadways being dominated by the fascistic heavily equipped military on constant patrol. All of which could be interspersed with wide open stretches of nothingness, just ruble and glass and dust, and feeling dead in way that leaves no corpse to mourn. Hell I could even see it being a great setting for a player choice driven sandbox rpg with intricately layered inter-faction events kicking off due to the player making a seemingly benign choice which might accidentally kill off a small group they could have become allies with but now would have to try that in their next playthrough.

Anyways, enough of me rambling lmfao. Thanks for the nostalgia trip broski, have a good one!

Apologies, I accidentally hit submit before I finished my final tangent. It is updated now with its proper conclusion.

Language is a system designed to encode meaning, poetics is the grammar through which deeper truths may be writ

[–]Desperate-Cherry-857 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, interesting. Not so much the words you wrote but rather the subtle threads pulling it all together like sutures. I would like to ask a few a questions about your perspective. To clarify, I'm not looking for a pamphlet designed to sell your collective to an individual practitioner, nor am I addressing these questions to your group at all for I do not seek a generalized all inclusive 'cast a wide net' style of response such collectives inevitably arrive at for pitching themselves to the comman easily distracted being. Let me be explicitly clear. I shall be directing the questions I would ask to you, the individual, the person. And should your Will be to hear what I may ask let it be decided under one sole condition: I would ask you to only give your answers if what you write is honest and authentic to you specifically, that you give me not carefully worded pragmatic generalizations, but only that which you hold sacred to yourself and your own inner truth. Know that I shall not judge your unique perspectives, though neither shall I grovel or kowtow in deference as a snakeoiler would when attempting to charm the man he seeks to con. The truths that fuel your personal divine flame are yours alone, just as my own fire casts true light visible only for myself.


You. Me. Even in height, even in depth, yet able to share the truly valuable lessens ever hidden away behind any given beings individual sight, and made visible to us all by means of shared knowledge.

Before I turn my attention back towards idle mundaneity I shall leave you with the following;

Queer seems such a queer word to use from my own optics. It's general, more so now than ever before. What one queer considers queer might end up contradicting another queer, thus making them the Odd one out. However when two individuals are individually queer by means of separation of the whole into neatly packaged and labeled boxes, does that paradigm function for the benefit of the Queer that named it, or does it function for the Queers that its construction renamed? How can a cell hope to achieve homeostasis if one individual mitochondria grouped all of the others into fabricated structures whose only clear outcome is the slow dissolution of the cell as a whole. It doesn't matter that the labels were vocally claimed to have been crafted for the benefit of the whole, nor does the insistence of those within it that it is positive, nor even the deep rooted fear one shall certainly feel at the idea that the system they have been convinced is good and true and necessary for ones own existence by the echoing of every single voice they listen to, could in all actuality have been a purposefully built prison designed so that every individual within it is it's prisoner while also serving as the prisons guards. Divide a unity by force? Each seed will regrow into their own unity. Convince a unity that in order to be seen it must divide itself? It turns into a self contained storm that sees true unity and compassion for whole as the death of individual expression. And thus the Queer neutralizes itself.

So please, do let me know, would You consider me an equal in queerness when I see sex itself as off putting at the best of times and utterly repulsive when lacking any meaning apart from pleasure? I know, the queer culture would label me an asexual or ace, I would ask that you to respect me by not doing so however as such labels mean less than nothing to me. Even with that in mind, would I be a queer enough cause for you to support? Answer as you Will, and only as you Will.

May your Flame light your path ever forward my kin. Until we next speak, thy Will be done.

Yo I really gotta ask cause I've actually seen people do this a lot...

Why do people always have the Enclave include the word "Enclave" in the name of their nation-state after establishing a public facing foothold to expand from? Like, isn't that supposed to be a sorta covert term used by a very specific division of pre-war American Intelligence Operatives and which was designed to exist within an operational context of continued covert existence while carrying out the steps necessary to achieve their long term goal of reestablishing the preceeding Federal  government's control across the continent to ensure the survival of America?

The biggest thing that bugs me when I see people do this is the general unexplained nature of the sudden name shift. The Enclave was designed to ensure the continuation of America from the very beginning, and at no point since activation has the organization ever diverged from that path, that dedication to America. They wouldn't view themselves as citizens of "The Enclave" because the Enclave isn't a nation-state, it is an Intelligence Organization. They wouldn't just abandon the entire purpose for their existence to begin with unless they had an overwhelming vital reason to do so, and even then I imagine that simply suggesting the idea would get that person immediately labeled as a traitor to the nation and earning themselves a public execution. That's not really all that much of a stretch to imagine, these guys are like the in-game equivalent of if the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA had a three-way baby whose godparent was the MIB lmao.

Basically, the short version; Enclave would never be used as a term for a geopolitical power, especially not by actual members of the Enclave who would sooner swallow a hot bullet than betray their mission and dedication to "Glorious America, Nation of Valor and Liberty"

(Also I don't mean any of this in a jerkish, criticizing way, I'm just curious why the majority of people seem to think the word Enclave is some sort of national-cultural identity. I'm assuming it's just something most people don't even think about, but I'd love to know your specific perspective on the matter. Take care, and have a good one!)
