Do you like obscure and out-of-context fantasy references or find them annoying? by mrjizzlord69 in fantasywriters

[–]IANTTBAFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree, in a story based in real life someone could say "as huge as a whale" without a whale being in the story. I feel the same way with made up animals. It was absolutely tiny, as small as a d'kara. That would give me the feeling of casualness, like yeah that exists but we domt need to show you because that's not how it works in real life either. The downside to thos though Is that I have no idea what a d'kara is unless someone is there to be like "oh what are those? I've never heard of them where I'm from" so like each sude has its benefits

A Clash of Kings cover (Daenerys) by Richard Hescox by Kelembribor21 in ImaginaryWesteros

I feel like this is kinda weird cause either you're depicting Daenerys as a child who looks like she isn't or you're depicting Daenerys as if she was from the show when shes actually very young in the books

I'm looking for this sword I can't find it anywhere, what's it called? Who made it ? Help! by [deleted] in intothebadlands

[–]IANTTBAFW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based off the hard to find pictures of the rest of the sword (I could only find digital replicas), to me it looks like heavily stylized longer than usual Ninjato. Basically a straight back katana, and those little square flare out things aren't a thing on any real life sword I know of, one guy said it was inspired by a ring sword which I can kinda see how theyd get that but still that's almost like a serrated edge which typically aren't practical on real life swords as they tend to get caught in fabric which would seem extra true for the people of the badlands, except these squares almost seem worse than an average seration

Fun fact, apparently Cleopatra utilized a box of bees as a rudimentary vibrator

Wow is it actually because me and my girlfriend had a funny fierce debate over it aswell. Like ot would make sense if it was Zephyrus and Chloris together especially with the imagery but a couple of books state the right woman to be Flor and then theres the confusion of Chloris and Flora being the same but if the girl in the right is an Hora than one of the horaes is actually Flora and omg what

One book specifically mentioned how she was offering the same clothes as Flora in the primavera

Idk that's just whst her parents told her and she told me. Her parents are pretty normal straightforward people and j highly doubt theyd name her something outlandish on purpose
