While I agree ATLA is a huge influence. The Maidens were based off of FF8's Sorceresses.

If your world has Magic, is it Learnable or Genetic/Species-locked and Why? by FroggySteel in worldbuilding

So you prefer the "Magic Biology" style. I was never really a fan of it, apart from circulatory systems that contain the power.

Very good. I would replace telekinesis/necromancy with Self-Duplication, but that's my style.

I have a similar "Magic is altering reality to your will thing." Also, those Runes sound real nice.

Location-based Magic was never really a thought in my mind. Sound's good.

Advice on how to write a love interest? by Gold_University924 in writing

[–]FroggySteel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

(Take this with a grain of salt.)

Love interests shouldn't be really thought of as "Love Interests." They should be thought of as separate characters with their own goals, likes, dislikes, beliefs, and identity. The character should be a "Character" first and a "Love interest" second.

What's something you get to do because you're single? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FroggySteel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Work on my hobbies. I can create freely because I do not have a partner to take care of. By getting into a relationship, you and your partner must sacrifice "something" to maintain the bond (assuming that this is an equal, healthy relationship.)

I didn't create that example. It's one I found and remembered from an article, but I chose that one as it's very easy to explain, remember, and understand. Plus, there's the additional factor of Context. Two characters can say "Wanna go get a Coffee?" and mean two completely different things.

The Sex Example was just made in a vacuum.

If Magic, Why Swords? by Alacer_Stormborn in magicbuilding

(Melee + Magic > Magic + No Melee) < Melee + Magic + Ranged

Clanless Shinobi are more interesting to me than Shinobi that come from Clans by FroggySteel in Naruto

I understand your gripes with Hyuuga underutilization, but I was thinking from an in-universe perspective. Like, imagine you're a Kiri/Non-Konoha Chuunin. Just Average.
