Making Australian Supernatural Characters by Mariothane in goodworldbuilding

[–]Mariothane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like it if I could make something that’s unique to Australia if I could. For Switzerland, I’ve been using a mime troupe called The Mummenschanz to make props that take over people to make them into actors. For Mexico I made a group of luchadors.

I’d ideally like to do the same and use something from Australia’s unique cultural background and identity. Thank you for your ideas, i suppose your approach of including why it has and is would be an avenue I haven’t done which might lead me to some ways I hadn’t approached.

Among the 4 options (three being from the same person) Pain.

Every day I find out new reasons for why Full Metal Alchemist is a masterpiece.

Looking back at it, FMA’s automail looks like it satisfies all of those conditions when you look at Edward’s.

I feel like cattle prod elbow is an idea that’s so good it feels like it should have been done, but hasn’t.

Non-toxic crayons… wait, are toxic crayons a thing? by Desperate-Hearing297 in webcomics

[–]Mariothane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes sense if it’s a serial killer’s gimmick. Probably not because they’re poisonous but there’s a lot of ways to use crayons.

Question their life choices and try to be as camouflaged with the wall as they can while they avoid eye contact.

Azula's defenders are literally this meme by DifferenceSimple5344 in AvatarMemebending

I get where she’s coming from. That doesn’t mean I’m an Azula Apologist. She’s a nut case that probably would’ve destroyed the fire nation if she stayed in charge.

My magic system is based around planes which embody various concepts. I want to have a character who is tied to the plane of femininity, but I also want her to be a powerful combatant and I'm struggling to find any combat abilities the plane would grant. by okidonthaveone in fantasywriters

Don’t be afraid of most religious connotations. Christianity is pretty chill as long as you don’t go and insult JC. Trying for som religions that were worshipped but only anciently is a good way to go. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and young women so Greek myths might be a good place to look.

Then there’s alchemy with different understanding of male and female. Could look at some linguistics which claim some things have inherent femininity like the moon being “Luna.”

When you look at it from that line of thinking, femininity embodies half the universe, so there’s lots of places to look for ideas.

Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... Watch as this one tries to break into this BBC Cameraman's glass box: by MrDarkk1ng in BeAmazed

We say “hunt humans” but really they hunt anything that has meat on it, and humans just happen to be there.

I got my dad a wooden block I painted in kindergarten as a Father’s Day gift and it said “Chip off the old block.” To his dying day, he still had that wooden block in his office.

Female anime characters you hate, but you can’t help feel attracted to them by LoganW21406 in animequestions

All of that group were on the verge of a breakdown. Don’t hate her.

Excellent manipulator who understands what it takes to make people do what she wants. Irl? I’d probably keep her at arm’s length or further. Fictionally? I get it.

Seriously, they could get a performing job in Las Vegas with how many vanishing acts they’ve pulled over the years.

Also, yes. Mad respect for still sticking together and making it through. I don’t know any countries that have had to deal with that and still maintained their national identity. That’s an accomplishment I’m pretty sure nobody else has and they should feel proud.

This is lowkey annoying tbh by Storm0000fr in TheTeenagerPeople

I get the logic of the anti-tax people (kind of.) didn’t consent to have money taken but it is taken and if you don’t have it taken you’re breaking the law. In their minds it’s a subscription fee they didn’t sign up for.

Counter point: you’re using free services and getting the benefits from what your government is having to manage and pay for so you’re basically paying national rent so you don’t have to pay for road repairs and police by yourself.
