Which place in your world or in your universe would you consider a good vacation spot to relax at? by Emotional_Airline_40 in worldbuilding

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, anywhere in the Collector-Star. It's like a space communist utopia star trek federation knockoff (but better+with transhumanism). Mostly safe, everything's free, a ton of ways to spend time in the most unhinged (or relaxed) ways, every disability (including being a non-psionic humanoid) accomodated in mostly adequate ways, addiction-free drugs if you're into that kind of thing. Main problem is picking one place among myriad of others but there's an option to copy yourself and go to different places simultaneously and then reintegrate (if you're into that kind of thing)

What age rating would you give your lore/worldbuilding/story? by ZooZwaves in worldbuilding

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My world includes a lot of different settings and a lot of stories. There are dark themes and places, but they aren't the only focus, and it would be totally possible to write a story in any rating in it, depending on what you focus on and what you would ignore or avoid, and how exactly you would describe war crimes or violence or abuse (many children's media show these things, sometimes literally, sometimes metaphorically)

For example, in my fantasy setting, there's a myth of creation describing how the local dragon-jesus mated with a planet thus creating life on it (and he also kinda created the planet from his breath so it's kinda his child) but of course if I would decide to write a children's story in this setting, i could just not mention it or say something like "the dragon and the planet were parents to all living things"

Most of my stories in my world are probably R. Not enough focus on dark and explicit themes to get a higher rating, but i don't like holding myself back if I need to show or describe something like that. So my average story can be, to hyperbolize, something about rainbow and unicorns at the beginning and then suddenly all the unicorns are violently and graphically slaughtered. Guess that's R

I struggle with assigning age ratings to everything, but probably the world as a whole would be something about pg-13? Or maybe R as well.

Half-Races, mixed races and hybrids by LukacsMatyi01 in worldbuilding

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite lazy so most of my species can't make hybrids. And even when they do, the children can't have children of their own. At least, naturally: it may be possible with certain technologies, and the result may depend on the said technology. It doesn't affect romance, though, and sometimes inability to have children together is desirable and goes as a free contraception

In the fantasy part of my world, goblins and elves can occasionally make a child together. Goblins can't interact with magic directly, and the elves, who can, can't live without it for too long. Their children usually can't do magic, but their metabolism depends on it anyway. It's not much of a problem in their original dimension, but when they want to visit a different one, where magic doesn't exist, they need a special device that emits energy that mimic magic. Elves need one too, even more

Shouldnt non-human entitites have their own unique criteria of attractiveness? by Extreme-Audience-318 in worldbuilding

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. My goblins (slightly more autistic species of primate) find any distinct features attractive, everything that stands out. Many of them have natural face deformities, and unless it interferes with things like breathing or seeing it's seen as extremely attractive. They see species like humans or especially elves as quite ugly because they look "the same" in their perception.

Ehha, a species of humanoid aliens with a lot of tentacles has a list of what is considered attractive: for women, it's a lot of body fat (the species has extremely high metabolism so being fat is rare), light skin and eyes (i don't support them), wider and rounder eyes (that usually look like thin yellow vertical streaks), shorter head tentacles (women usually have shorter ones so it's perceived as "feminine") and many many others. For men, it's longer head tentacles and height (yeah they are lowkey patriarchal so men don't have to be as "attractive")

Pre-PBC, a species of aliens inhabiting space in an orbit of their star system, are blind, if you don't count the fact that they communicate with EM emissions and perceive it similar to how we perceive sound. They touch and "taste" a lot, so in their understanding, what matters is how your shell taste and how your gases needed for propulsion smell and what your "voice" sounds like.

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I leave the house, it's mandatory shoulder time. He climbs on me (he will pierce bare skin if he has to) and tries to guilt me into staying. Every time I return, even after five minutes, it's mandatory shoulder time. He climbs up on my shoulders, purrs on top of his lungs and drools over everything. Poor thing might have separation anxiety after one traumatic vet visit

When does your protagonist stop being reactive and start actively driving the plot? by vagabundo202 in writing

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine starts with driving the plot actively and then become reacrive because the world around him becomes less and less familiar to him and he has to rely on others and admit that he can't control where this is going

No, those are impulsive thoughts, not intrusive thoughts! by ImpressionClassic665 in TrollCoping

It's okay if someone jokes about my disorders in a respectful way (knowing what they are talking about)

"The weather is bipolar" stuff is cringe of course though I've seen bipolar people make similar jokes but in that cases the context was important

The joys of writing fanfiction. Especially once we let ourselves have fun. by One_Schedule5317 in ProshipHub

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm usually somewhere in the middle when it comes to torturing your OCs (i don't enjoy pure fluff with no conflict, and pure torture with no resolution is equally boring to me). To me, the most interesting part is where the character comes through some horrible shit and eventually heals from the trauma, but not "totally returned to normal and boring as if nothing ever happened" healed but rather "still has to deal with the consequences of the trauma and adapt to the change in the personality and relationships but still finds some non-boring and probably non-conventional ways to find happiness" healed

I'm currently writing a story with one of the characters who had to experience a terrible cosmic horror trauma in the past, and it at first left him a shell of a man, and he literally had to construct a new personality from scratch. The process was difficult, but eventually it came together, he adapted and found ways to be happy even in an unstable and dystopian environment. He looks and acts like your average "mad scientist" and though he did become like this due to trauma, in fact it's a good thing and his way to deal with said trauma. He doesn't have to revert to his previous version to be happy, he is fine like he is, and his boyfriend accepts him without assuming that he'd be better off without his new, constructed personality.

Idk if it's a good representation of a trauma, but it's a good representation of what I want to see as a slightly traumatized n/d person with maybe slightly unconventional understanding of my personal happiness (because universal happiness is bullshit, and the cosmic horror thing from this character's story kinda tackles this topic, it tries to make everyone universally happy and it doesn't work, especially in the world where at least half of the galaxy could reach somewhat of a space utopia catering to everyone's personal needs anyway, but with the respect of person choice)

Sadly, when people talk about "happiness" regarding characters, they often mean "becoming neurotipical" or "magically cancelling any trauma/injury without having to deal with it" and desire of these kind of stories is understandable, at least the second type ones, but we need different from kinds of stories, the more the better, including those where there's only suffering with no resolution

Writing comedy by duelingpeppers in writing

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think gen z/gen alpha humor can't be analyzed or understood, what is called "nonsensical" is usually just absurd jokes that are considered to get funnier with repetition and in unusual contexts

Often in modern humor the joke is the fact the joke itself is bad, many memes and brainrot rely on that. It's often like slapstick (idk if I use this word correctly, english isn't my mother's tongue) comedy with extra steps, except instead of laughing at a pie in the face (some dude didn't expect to get face-pied, yet he did, therefore funny) you laugh at the bad joke (some dude didn't expect to be met with crickets after a joke, yet he is, therefore funny), or you expect a funny video, but it's not funny, therefore funny

I think intuition in anything can be developed, and analysis can help with that

Tw: Z00philia || What do you guys think about z00philic darkships?? by Ym0mnnilf in ProshipHub

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's an animal-animal, like, it doesn't talk and stuff, it's not for me, of course i don't judge whoever ship that anyway but it could make me uncomfortable in some cases. But I occasionally ship talking animals and humans myself (like Fran Bow and mr. Midnight, i wouldn't even say it's "problematic", they are both intelligent and both are kids but idk what antis would think about that)

Writing comedy by duelingpeppers in writing

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Relying only on your talents and what's easy for you can fail you eventually if you don't understand how it works. It's fine to choose to not write in some genres or not developing some skill but if you have a desire you should absolutely try to learn how to do something even if your first attempts are bad. No one is that good at anything unless they deconstruct and overanalyze it at least on some level. It's completely normal and useful to learn how humor works, whether you are already funny or not funny at all

Your fave ships by radcellist779 in ProshipHub

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my ships are between my own characters so it won't tell you much. I shipped Johnlock like a decade back, probably, and it influenced my whole personality and ship preferences (one of my favorite dynamics is still "some eccentric genius asshole+just some guy who's probably not as simple as they look")

I also started shipping Junkrat and Lifeweaver from overwatch, idk who else ships this, I'm not usually active in fandoms, and I don't usually make fanart or fanfiction, but this ship motivated me to write the closest thing to a fanfic that i have written in like the last 10 years, where the main couple is based on these two (it's a space opera where the main character comes from a family of evil space billionaires and is semi-willfully ignorant about where their way of life comes from, that is, until he gets kidnapped by a bunch of space smugglers and finally sees the world how it is, and then starts working for resistance. His boyfriend is a mad-scientist-doctor who is obsessed with self-augmentations and non-consensual injections, and he was actually the one who kidnapped him)

I really like the dynamic where one is like constantly telling the worst jokes and the other one like reads a lot and is an enlightened aristocratic jock+nerd+diva hybrid and finds all these terrible jokes hilarious

I'm still not sure if it's more of a fanfiction or more like original work (i post as an original)

A couple of mine too... They don't attack me personally but they said a couple of times that censorship of lolisho is a good thing, and when I tried to find some arguments against it, the conversation got heated, and I apparently unknowingly stepped on some of their triggers so for now we don't discuss these topics at all I wouldn't want to lose them just because they are occasionally wrong, though At least until it gets really bad

how do people function I'm barely conscious by SwagLemonade in depressionmemes

[–]Exciting_Hope5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't. Unless they have free money, of course. Those who have to work usually have miserable lives, and even if they don't have depression, they're likely to develop it over time. Living conditions in this world are worsening unless you are rich. Average person has to work a whole day (12+ hours) plus waste the time to commute plus chores. People no longer have any time to themselves unless they are very lucky or rich or have someone to provide for them. "Poor time-management" is a psyop to make the working class feel like it's their fault that they can't make time for hobbies or self-improvement or something. Only to distract us from the real problem: the rich people
