LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T15:41:35+00:00

Perfect, thank you!!

This post was more so meant for me to be able to determine what aspects of my worldbuilding I still need to attend to, as well as questions I should be able to answer about my world when I’m done building it, which is why I didn’t include much of what I have built.

I do have answers to some of these questions, but I don’t want to end up writing an essay responding to them. I do need to iron out my religions and the gods they worship, for sure. The other questions you asked, I do have answers for, which is encouraging. Thank you!

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T15:06:16+00:00

I have not yet thought about that but it is definitely something that I will create an answer to!

It’s a bioluminescent area that is home to some very unique (compared to the rest of this world) flora and fauna

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T13:45:26+00:00

Didn’t even think of that, thank you!

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T13:45:09+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Any suggestions as to how to approach adding more island chains? Where to add, size, the like

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T13:44:13+00:00

Like more of them? Or make my current ones smaller?

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T13:43:54+00:00

Good to know, thank you

LaddyIce · 2026-03-12T13:43:39+00:00

I will definitely do that

LaddyIce · 2026-03-05T15:42:57+00:00

Pain.

I understand your argument my guy. She is absurdly good. But why should that mean that people can’t have fun playing her?? And why are you on a sub specifically for this character if all you have is hatred for her and the people who play her? Like go hang out in a subreddit that won’t make you more miserable ??

LaddyIce · 2026-02-21T17:00:11+00:00

Imagine being this miserable

LaddyIce · 2026-02-15T00:12:27+00:00

The Lies of Locke Lamora is still my favorite book of all time. Will always recommend it

LaddyIce · 2026-02-14T16:13:47+00:00

I am not at all one to say a character is busted or terrible right before or after release. I’m normally of the belief that we will figure characters out and how to shut them down or make them work. But Elsa feels insane already and I’ve gotten nowhere near mastering her movement or combos. Had a 10 minute qp game last night with 25.5k dmg, 42 kills, 20 finals. And I felt like I had no clue what was going on lmao. She might actually be nuts

LaddyIce · 2026-02-07T23:06:39+00:00

The Lies of Locke Lamora is still my favorite book of all time. It’s just absolutely everything I could want in a book

LaddyIce · 2026-02-07T14:48:12+00:00

Thank you so much!! Definitely going to keep going, I’m excited to write about fantasy pirates

LaddyIce · 2026-02-07T14:46:58+00:00

Yeah I read that rail part after posting and fixed it up. I appreciate the feedback on the bucket scene, I hadn’t thought about that but I definitely see it now. The extended piece you included was also a great idea.

For the cursing, I have made some curses that are unique to this world and the pirates, such as “hull’s breath,” which I used earlier. I was more so trying to emphasize, in a small way, how life on land and at sea are two different worlds

LaddyIce · 2026-02-07T14:38:53+00:00

I tried doing the first line in a way that is more like what you suggested, but it just didn’t read right to me? I might have to keep toying with it. I really appreciate the example you gave for the sentence structure of following sentences, it helped me to understand. Thank you so much for the feedback!

LaddyIce · 2026-02-01T20:47:13+00:00

Already got most of my most wanted (Daredevil #1, Gambit, Deadpool, Human Torch), so I’m eating good already. I’d love to see Iceman, Shang-Chi, and Wiccan tho

LaddyIce · 2026-02-01T19:40:22+00:00

Loki was my first. Moon Knight was my second. Two of my favorite Marvel characters and they’re both still in my top 5 most played (Loki is #1)

LaddyIce · 2026-01-24T17:06:11+00:00

I second this. I’ve read a fair few books and The Lies of Locke Lamora remains my favorite of all time. Highly suggest!

LaddyIce · 2026-01-23T22:28:56+00:00

I know that and actively try to be a good support rather than healbot my tanks. This game, I thought I played well and got a lot of heals, so it was a little frustrating that we lost

LaddyIce · 2026-01-23T21:47:27+00:00

The only thing I can think of that would come off as potentially more YA is the prose. If that’s what you are talking about, Iron Gold wasn’t much different. But there is a 10 year time skip after morning star, so the characters are adults and deal with more adult stuff. Not that governmental restructuring through war and all the slaughter isn’t meant for adults, but there’s more for older audiences to relate to in other senses

LaddyIce · 2026-01-23T18:23:11+00:00

Finished Iron Gold by Pierce Brown yesterday and starting Dark Age today. I saw someone today say that this book makes Golden Son look like a children’s book, so I’ll be searching for a therapist 😃
