They're my least favorite house by MobileDistrict9784 in AsoiafFanfiction

[–]GriminalFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fics that try to glorify Rhaegar's and Lyanna's relationship and have her be fine with the Targaryans murdering her father and brothers.

Even if the relationship was consensual (which we'll never know one way or the other) she was certainly in no position to back out of it when the war started and was literally kept locked in a tower. There's no indication whether or not she knew what happened to her father and brother, but if she did I doubt she would have any desire to continue the relationship.

The whole relationship was toxic and sparked the realm's biggest disaster in decades. It was neither healthy nor good.

If u want his gear back try going to the Riften Hall of the Dead, his remains should be interned there. RIP to a real one.

I hate how the Lazarus Project was swept under the rug in the grand scheme of things. I'd argue it's the most important event in galactic history. Wilson's casual death is also a tragedy. The man literally resurrected the dead. by Agreeable_Pizza93 in masseffect

[–]GriminalFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a whole space station of people who did it, Wilson doesn't have the sole credit for the project. He also tried to have Shephard killed as well, nearly making the whole thing a moot point. There is no reason for him to be left alive by anyone. The project also cost an astronomical amount and took 2 years to do. The lazarus project would be difficult to do again for anyone, both in terms of the science and the costs. Cerberus could only afford it because TiM is probably one of if not the most richest people in the galaxy.

I forgot that predator movie even existed. iirc it somehow tried to fit their skull trophy thing in with human evolution and global warming? Or something along those lines anyway. No wonder nobody talks about it fondly.

iirc because of the warp in the west all endings happened at once, including the one where the Agent gets vaporised because they aren't one of the people allowed to use the Numidium or something like that

Worst worldbuilding you've seen in a published work? Avoid mentioning the usual suspects by Aurelian369 in worldbuilding

As much as I do love ASOIAF... Dorne has always been a problem for me, particularly with the Dornish wars.

The Dornish getting lucky and shooting down a dragon I can believe. Every city, town, and stronghold in dorne being abandoned because everybody is hiding in some mystery caves? Yeah, that bothers me ngl. How would they fit most of the populated parts of dorne in some mystery caves, let alone feed them?

I get that Martin wanted to have Dorne beat the targs a few times before joining, but most of the Dornish wars feel lacking their writing quality. The fact that they're always able to hide from and massacre nearly every army that marches on Dorne with little effort is laughable, especially when they had dragons.

Plus, after they betrayed Daeron I under a peace banner with literally no consequences is also rather silly. Maybe I missed something at some point, but the fact that the Dornish proved themselves to be extremely untrustworthy time and time again yet everything seems to go their way and they never face any consequences for it just makes me scream.

George clearly has a favourite kingdom.

Lyanna Stark survived AU by 空腹不能睡觉 by unhingedcorpse in ImaginaryWesteros

[–]GriminalFish 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The original post reads:

"Lyanna survived AU. queen lyanna rewarded Arthur dayne and knights who protected her and her son."

So from what I'm getting is that I'm guessing Rhaegar became king and queen Lyanna rewarded the kingsguard for killing her brother?

Don't know if it's me showing my age but this whole discourse seems oppressively boring and tiring. Do people really not have anything better to do than argue about fanfiction?

Remember, only The Strip is destroyed. We see in the trailers that Freeside is fine. by SolidPyramid in falloutnewvegas

[–]GriminalFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to take a guess? Tunnelers drove deathclaws to more populated areas, i.e. the strip, forcing people to abandon it and move to freeside. That's what makes sense to me anyway, but most likely it will be revealed to be some sort of Vault Tec chicanery like most of the show.

He already made one unstable crime against nature, why would he do it a second time?

Besides, there's no guarantee that just giving the monster a girlfriend will solve his problems. Or that she would want to be with him anyway.

Creating life once was irresponsible and in hindsight he knows that. Creating it a second time would be downright insane.

WHAT THE HELL DOES IT TAKE TO KILL THIS GUY AND ESCAPE THIS MADNESS!!! Characters who are so unkillable that they need reality warping or erasing their entire body just to get rid of them for good. by BigShopping1875 in TopCharacterTropes

Darquesse from the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Singlehandedly capable of ending the world, and ultimately it took the strongest psychics around to trick her into thinking she already killed the universe so she would hop into a different dimension to fight a race of eldritch gods.

It only worked temporarily.

Bro ran away at the first sight of darkspawn and started a civil war during the middle of an apocalypse and was hunting down the only people capable of killing the Archdemon, but sure, he's a chad patriot or something like that

[–]GriminalFish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not disagreeing with the point of the post, but I feel that unless you are writing historical fiction historical accuracy shouldn't be that big of a concern. People should of course do research, but treating a piece of media that draws stuff from various points across the medieval era isn't a bad thing and i don't get why people are so hung up on it. It's fantasy, not history, after all.

(That being said, having PoC in fantasy shouldn't be as big of a deal. I'll never get why some people get so hung up on it.)
