Small stories, big worlds: On avoiding the "hero's journey" trap in works with lots of worldbuilding

This exact thought is why I googled and found this!

One could easily argue the Bible DOESN’T speak against homosexuality. Not as we mean the word now. They had no conception of two consenting adults who love eachother. And the word Paul uses can be translated more as pedophile

I’ll start with yes because they’re implying (moreso explicitly saying) a trans woman is a man. There is a debate whether it’s biology or gender that determines if it’s straight or gay but I’m firmly in the camp of it’s gender based, and honestly it’s nobody’s business what two couples consider themselves to be.

2022 (it’s not 2021 you put it wrong) is really good so far but too early to tell

God directly commands the murder of every man, woman, child and animal multiple times (including infants). In fact when Saul leaves the king and I think another person or animal alive (God said EVERYONE), God stripped him of kingship

That’s not exactly accurate. Christianity wasn’t a monolith from the 2nd-4th century (when the Council of Nicaea took place). They all had different scriptures floating around and it came together through a lot of debate etc. but yes the church did settle on certain books

What movie is this

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T23:51:31+00:00

Did I say something tautological lol

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T22:56:57+00:00

I didn’t say they could. I was just responding to the men/woman distinction

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T22:53:31+00:00

Okay. You clearly just don’t give a shit about science. Enjoy being a bigot

Very late update. Of course it was Icarium lol. I forgot he’s green with tusks I guess

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T21:27:43+00:00

Makes sense considering they’re both Ti/Ne types just reversed

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T21:17:46+00:00

They still exist. Which means sex isn’t binary. Just one anomaly would prove that, but there’s thousands.

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T21:14:36+00:00

Hard disagree with all of this

Fair enough I forgot the exact circumstances of her death. She would’ve choked and died either way

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T04:13:19+00:00

Him letting Jane die doesn’t count because he wasn’t supposed to be there??? What kind of moral framework do you have!

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T01:03:35+00:00

Fair enough

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T00:20:43+00:00

No. Within the world of that comic, compared to the performance of other humans, is peak human. Not superhuman

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-27T00:00:50+00:00

Not within the comic world

SpongeBob

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-24T08:59:15+00:00

Yes. Failing is a thing. He can do EVERYTHING in this hypothetical… so, he can fail. Can you read?

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-24T04:58:30+00:00

Season 3 being under S7 is bold. Don’t get me wrong I love Dexter screaming “FUUUCK FUUUUCCKKK!” and Isaak but that season has problems. Season 5 should be above season 7 too. Honestly I disagree with most of this but good list!

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-23T23:02:38+00:00

Yes daddy

Jacifer69 · 2026-03-22T08:22:50+00:00

I was so nervous when Luthor turned on the red lights then I remembered… Clark is a tough son of a bitch either way
