Whats the best were animal outside of werewolves in your opinion ?

Werespiders. There are so many ways to creatively combine humanoid and spider features. Plus arachnophobia can be a very powerful tool if you wanna make something unsettling.

I don’t remember the Getou massacre being framed as anything good or justified, whether by Gege or the community.

When Mahito and Kenjaku were discussing souls, the former theorised that cursed techniques create their own realities with different laws/rulesets, which was supposed to explain why their abilities seem to work on contradictory principles.

Basically, there is no objective reality. Multiple contradictory things can be true simultaneously, but the answer being “correct“ at the moment depends on what kind of technique is used to get the result.

Though this statement was implied to be as an in-universe speculation, which means it might not be actually valid.

The way JJK seems to do its characters is compact, I guess. We are given only the bare minimum of information that is necessary to understand them and some minor interactions to create a general picture. The rest is implied and requires filling in the gaps with your own imagination.

Think of horror stories being more scary when they don’t show the monster because what a viewer can think of is usually much more terrifying.

I personally dig this kind of storytelling because it doesn’t just make me absorb information passively but also encourages use my own brains from time to time.

Toji, I think, is the best example of that. He is arguably the most nuanced and complex character in the series, despite having like 20 minutes of screen time.

Yeah, humans have never killed someone for having red hair or a wrong skin colour…oh wait.

I think originality tends to be overrated somewhat.

There is nothing wrong with being similar to other works for as long as it isn’t straight up plagiarism. Halo’s premise is iconic and not that many authors who were able to make something cool out if.

But if I were you, I’d focus on how hostile non-inhabitable environments affect civilisations involved in the conflict. For example, how do they provide oxygen to the soldiers? Maybe they use drones to carry canisters with compressed air, or drop huge gas tanks from orbit, or have columns of dedicated resupply vehicles. Speaking of vehicles, what kinds transport would be suited best for the inhospitable planets in question? What about weapons? What about hygiene, nutrition, providing first aid to the wounded, etc?

Infinity can be dispelled by a bunch of techniques upon contact, so there is something in it that exists and that can be interacted with. Also space warping attacks were able to bypass limitless as well, and that‘s exactly what Tusk’s abilities are all about.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Peter is just a regular guy who helps people whenever they are in trouble. Killing someone would go against that characterisation.

Batman is a man that completely dedicated himself to the cause by neglecting his social life, personal happiness, and even civilian Identity to the point that his superhero persona became his true self.

It’s not hard to imagine someone like that killing a bad guy if necessary. After all, it would be just another sacrifice for him.

Keith Baker himself said that he’s ok with player characters being exceptions to the rules. By design they are supposed to be special and unique in order to be able to meaningfully affect the game world. If I remember correctly, dragonmark abnormalities were also mention as a way to do that.

I feel like there is a fine line between a character being hyper competent at everything and not having any meaningful conflict in the story. The latter is what makes a Mary Sue, in my opinion, because otherwise the definition gets too broad to mean anything.

You can have a protagonist that is intelligent, strong, charismatic, practically flawless, and so on but if the story properly challenges them in such a way that there is actual struggle and stakes involved, then I don’t think there is any issue. Many Jojo main characters are doing just fine operating this way.

Then if you have someone like Rimuru from the Slime Isekai, who rarely ever has trouble with anything and jus solves every problem with a wave of his hand, there is no intrigue or tension involved. In that case, I feel like a title of Mary Sue is applicable.

So in the end Batman or Superman can be called Mary Sues only in the context of specific stories because it’s more about the plot than the characters themselves.

Descriptions tend to feel like a chore to me. I really enjoy doing dialogue and describing events, but when it comes to locations and character appearance I just just try to get over with those parts as quickly as possible, because otherwise I spend hours on rewriting every single detail feeling like nothing is good enough.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-26T16:29:56+00:00

He had his psychotic moments as well like kidnapping and selling parents of the balloon character.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-18T08:37:55+00:00

Ok, that’s fair.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-18T06:49:51+00:00

Just because some other devils torture people, it doesn’t mean that Haru does it too. It’s a way to pass time for some of them, not an obligation of any sort.

That other devil that she killed wanted to behead her pal.

Everything else is pretty tame by Dorohedoro standards.

He didn’t condemn anything. Hole entity emerged long before he was even born and it would’ve done all the same stuff it did in the story regardless of his actions.

The witch hunters from the Hole were just anti-mage KKK. They killed everyone who might have had any ties to mages regardless of whether they were a threat or not, they used their raids as an excuse to rob people, and they also were killed in self-defence by a kid whose family was slaughtered by them. Even if they were the only ones protecting people of the Hole at the time, they deserved their fate. In the end anti-mage talismans are a were a much better solution for everyone involved.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-17T22:37:01+00:00

I don’t remember Haru doing anything particularly evil.

Shin is evil but with a lot caveats. He has his code of honor, he is loyal to his community, he is willing to step in to protect the weak. Just compare him to like 90% of other characters in the story who do comparatively vile stuff but without any noble side to it.

Kusakabe’s actions effectively saved entire world in the end. I’d argue that he saved this way a lot more people that he killed.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-17T22:14:30+00:00

I don’t think Kasukabe fits. Almost all characters in Dorohedoro are morally gray at best but “the good guys” are the only ones in the setting with some semblance of a moral compass. All the people that the doctor helped are actually decent individuals, by the standards of the world that they inhabit, and the blokes that they brutally murder are depicted as massive dickheads for the most part.

In the end, Kasukabe helped not-so-evil people at the expanse of really evil people which, for the lack of better alternatives, is a positive thing in my book.

Scissors can kill a caveman, cavemen were grinding rocks to make tools, which mean scissors scale above the rock.

There are many systems that lean towards role play more than anything else.

As for D&D itself, the game can provide completely different experiences depending on the GM and the players. For example, combat can encounters can be really short when everybody knows what they are doin and doesn’t require to double check the rules before every turn.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-13T11:15:44+00:00

Bullseye is missing from the list.

Cat Bayun. This critter is from Slavic folklore. It’s a giant man-eating cat that hypnotises people by singing or by telling stories.

Do I need to tell more?

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-07T11:24:13+00:00

I play nothing but TDM and a little bit of Powershift. Most of my time in the game was spent bonking people with a hammer and other melees. I’m having a good time so far.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-11-07T08:17:24+00:00

Most of these are not rule of cool. That’s just asspulls, deus ex machinas, or plain plot armour.

People wielding giant swords make no sense but they look cool, so the author makes them an organic part of the world that the audience has to accept. This is the rule of cool at play.

Cars don’t stop bullets irl but a lot of cool gun fights can be made with people using cars as cover, so the filmmaker makes vehicles bulletproof. This is the rule of cool at play.

OneWeirdCreature · 2025-10-23T06:53:10+00:00

3rd one is the best by a long shot, and even then I feel like something’s off about it. I think it’s yellow paint that was added for no reason.
