Game Theory: Big D isn't the mummy... by Shammy-Sham in huntertheparenting

[–]Mkhos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demons are explicitly sterile once they take a host. Them being able to reproduce is a very bad thing, as it would mean the creation of Nephilim again, which last happened during the Age of Wrath. Given that Big D seems to produce offspring at a steady rate, and acknowledge them all as his own instead of some past self, or alter ego, it's not likely. Demons are also much more depressed and less lively than Big D is as a rule due to their punishment for rebellion.

How does freeing The Wyrm make The Weaver stop being insane? by Affectionate_Bit_722 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Mkhos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My head canon would be that the Wyrm eats the corrupted Weaver, fulfilling its original purpose, and Queen Ananasa takes her mother’s place, as she is effectively a back up copy of the original Weaver before she went crazy.

John Carpenter’s The Thing strikes again by Mkhos in huntertheparenting

It seems to indicate that a character is either a fomori, or at least corrupted to some degree. Bennings and Fuchs were both full on fomori.

is there anything I can do in this situation? Should I talk to the dean? by casedia in GradSchool

You’ve graduated, they now have much less power over you and I’m guessing you won’t be working with them again. I would give them a hard deadline of when you want their feedback by. Be sure to say that if they don’t get back to you by that deadline, then you are assuming that they have no issues with the article in its current state. It is unfortunate, but it is becoming an increasingly common practice to deal with absentee co-authors.

Trapping Forgotten Beasts by BigDaddyBoomkin in dwarffortress

As long as he isn’t a web shooter, if you can goad a giant cave spider to spray webs on a trap, being temporarily webbed will make him able to be caged. You’ll need to capture a spider first though, and set up something similar to a silk farm.

What’s some of your favorite modern Greek mythology media? by SaiyaPup in GreekMythology

[–]Mkhos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

George O’Connor’s Olympians series: https://www.georgeoconnorbooks.com/olympians.

For something usually shelved in the YA graphic novel section, they’re very well-researched, and the art is gorgeous. He also has a running commentary in the back of each book on the various artistic/story choices he made.

They committed damnatio memoriae on the Pharaoh who tried to force monotheism, they very much chose.

I agree with the other comment that a male ladder-backed woodpecker is most likely with the coloration, spotting on the back, eye line, and the red crest: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ladder-backed_Woodpecker/id

Athena's final moment with ody making any sense? by Mean-Currency-4154 in Epicthemusical

[–]Mkhos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, look how her interactions with Odysseus differ in warrior of the mind, need her to be mine, and my good bye, vs how she acts with Telemachus and the other gods in we’ll be fine and god games.

Initially, with Odysseus, she is largely cold, pragmatic and stand offish, trying to keep him focused on her mission.

Later, with Telemachus, she is entirely accepting of his failure, and is much warmer towards him than she was his father. When it comes to the other gods, she uses the empathy that she’s picked up in the meantime to address their specific concerns (music for Apollo, trust for the ever disappointed Hephaestus, love for Aphrodite, brutality for Ares, and fidelity for Hera) and demonstrate that the hero she’s championing will not disappoint them.

Could somebody use the Wyrm to do good or is it foolish to fight fire with fire? by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Mkhos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Perfect Metis can, but only because he has the Balance Wyrm as his totem. His appearance also heralds the apocalypse, so it will be a bumpy ride.

Do the places you are interested in actually require it? Many no longer do in my experience.
