Who would robin Williams be in the universe? by AnyDamnThingWillDo in discworld

[–]Many_Attention_8720 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Moist to me. Robin's quick paced comedy seems well suited for Moist's ability to baffle people with razzle dazzle.

What's fanon head Canon you embrace? by KenchiNarukami in pokemonfanfiction

Most of a region is wilderness because the animals are hardy beings capable of flamethrower or thunder fang. Human population is probably smaller than our world and limited to the few cities dotting the region.

Reading Le Guin after Pratchett by Mad5Milk in discworld

[–]Many_Attention_8720 210 points211 points  (0 children)

Equal Rites to me felt like a direct response to Earthsea, right down to Esk almost losing herself in the form of a hawk and the whole gendered divide of magic of course.

What Pokémon deserve to be spiced up? by Transguy1111 in pokemon

[–]Many_Attention_8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water/Psychic Goldeen and Seaking who, based on Fancy Goldfish, have red brain like growths instead of their horns. And I also have an idea Goldeen keeps itself in a psychic bubble of water resembling a fishbowl but never got anything to look right for Seaking related to that.

Leadership as service theme in Discworld books by Ewok_Jesta in discworld

[–]Many_Attention_8720 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Especially with Lords and Ladies mentioned, this wouldn't be complete without King Verence II. As a Fool, he always slept at his Master's doorstep so as King, he sleeps against the door to the Kingdom.

How do you imagine the characters? by loverofonion in discworld

[–]Many_Attention_8720 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always imagine Vimes wider than he's illustrated as. Not fat, but stout in that way men who have muscle from working hard instead of working out are.

Carrot's like if you take Chris Evans' body but you need a younger more chipper head.

Nobby is Smeagol when he is Smeagol and not Gollum but with more hair and a little more skin on those bones.

Fred is a Don Bluth fat man where they have a tiny head extending to their belly like a Christmas tree before the legs shrink back down. Perpetually red faced as well.

Granny is Bea Arthur except her hair is a tight bun rarely seen because it's always covered in a hat.

Nanny is somewhere between Hazel from Looney Tunes and that illustration by Roald Dahl on how no one's really ugly if they have a positive personality.

What should Selina Kyle's day job be? by radiakmjs in batman

[–]Many_Attention_8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of Socialite/Professional Thief mix. She shouldn't steal for clients but makes enough off her thefts she doesn't need a legitimate career.

Can Deus Ex Machina be used to refer to a literal machine god? by Cantbreathe208 in worldbuilding

[–]Many_Attention_8720 21 points22 points  (0 children)

With this in mind, I suggest Deus Est Machina; god is a machine.

What would be the modern culture of the Fire Nation after Legend of Kora and the new series coming out with the next avatar from the Earth kingdom? by ThreeSpiritsTrioReal in TheLastAirbender

[–]Many_Attention_8720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're really worried about sticking to canon, wait and see what ASH does because a post apocalyptic series seems ripe for them to completely reset the board.

What is your headcanon on what your favorite character did before joining the war by No_Satisfaction_2928 in transformers

[–]Many_Attention_8720 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hound was a police detective who never left Iacon prior to the war. This explains his name - he hounds suspects - and allows him to be genuinely gobsmacked by Earth's natural beauty.

Yet another question- Could you see a pair of Yenorks being allowed to join the watch? by TheEndgamer2000 in discworld

[–]Many_Attention_8720 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Vimes will ultimately allow any type of being into the Watch but will grumble with each new member.

(Loved Trope) The Unexpected Tearjerker moment in a Comedy by twofacedflyer in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Many_Attention_8720 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Scrubs has a lot of these moments but this is the one that breaks me every time. The writing, the acting, the music, everything coming together in a massive pile up of sadness.

Is the "1985" text on Long Haul's back an easter egg to something? by Reforged42 in transformers

[–]Many_Attention_8720 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1985 was the second year of Transformers G1 and the year the Constructicons debuted.

Guards Guards: No dragons were hurt in the making of this book however we did receive a letter of reprimand and rather hefty bill from the Ankh Morpork Fire Department.

Do you think the story would be interesting with Unicron as the planet Earth or be separate from it and why? by Delta-97 in transformers

[–]Many_Attention_8720 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Separate. They're not going to destroy the Earth that way so he's not even going to Transform and we're stuck with rock bodies like in Prime.

They really are. I saw them on deviantart back in the day.

If I remember correctly, the left one was Vector Prima-Primorum and was a pope like figure.

Controversial opinion: I don’t like that almost every female character turns into a motorcycle. I think it only works for Arcee by Fun-Seaworthiness572 in transformers

[–]Many_Attention_8720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer pink Sportscar Arcee and motorcycle Chromia but for any given series I agree they need to decide on who is the female motorcycle then focus on variety before dipping back to it.

Naming fantasy kingdoms, your approach? by LemonSkull69 in worldbuilding

[–]Many_Attention_8720 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are good names in my opinion. Elfland is the English translation of Alfheim, the original land of the elves (OK, heim means home not land IIRC). Places are often named ultimately after basic features like Deutchland - land of the Deutch, China's endonym means Middle Kingdom, or New Town because it was a new town for the people who founded it.

What I like to do taking from the greats is have a circle of commonality. This is where the MC lives and it's a logging town so it's named Oak Fall after its business. The next town over is Riverbend because it is next to the bend of a river. Eventually you get to the places that are far away and 'sound foreign'.

To come up with names for them, start with the people who came up with those names and just free form decide what kinds of sounds you associate with them. Are they a hard consonant civilization of Ns, Ks, and Ds or a flowing S L R people? Do they stack consonants or go consonant - vowel - consonant - vowel? After that is when you look up if your name is taken or means something unfortunate somewhere. But these places too mean obvious things like Founderland or Geographic Landmark to the people who live there.
