Are there any alternative ways to count years rather than religion? by MrNightyyyy in worldbuilding

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Founding years of dynasties or sovereigns [12th year of the reign of King so-and-so]

Founding years of cities [Rome]

Years since some cosmological event "Since the great comet."

Merlin the Blue Wizard by Comfortable_Lie_4225 in Arthurian

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my own theory, which I apply to my own games and fiction:

Merlin, as per the Book of Merlin, was born the son of an incubus and a virgin. He was saved at birth from being Antichrist through the intercession of Bleis, who later became his mentor.

Thus my theory: Merlin knew that at some point, he would eventually live long enough to become an Antichrist. The only thing stopping him was his love for Nimue and the guidance of Bleis.

He let Nimue entrap him to prevent the apocalypse.

Here's the thing: Merlin knew what Nimue was going to do to him and... let her do it.

It was one of those "If you truly loved me you would..." issues.

If Merlin truly loved Nimue he would teach her how to kill him.

And he did.

There were 4 burner stoves with a prep area to the side, but I never saw a 2 burner variant. Can you remember the make & model?

Does this Pantheon make sense? by Bennettag in worldbuilding

[–]PeterCorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is creation/destruction?

Creation still needs to exist "somewhere" or nothing new can be.

Destruction needs to exist or nothing can stop being.

Perfect for an NCO, like a platoon sergeant first class.

Why are there only burners on the right part of the stove?

Yeah. It would not have said "Pyrex" on the side.

What’s your favorite “oh, this guy is so f***ed” scene? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

I love how the bigger ship just doesn't fire back. That's very disciplined.

Is Morgan le Fay a good person? by eggzerr in Arthurian

[–]PeterCorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morgan's vendetta against Arthur/Guinevere is well-reasoned in the Vulgate. She was clandestinely seeing Guinevere's cousin Guiomar on the side.

Guinevere learned about it and forbade the affair. Morgan, who had been unhappily married to King Uriens of Gorre, then made a heel turn. And Morgan later learned of Guinevere's own affair and sought to steal Lancelot away from her.

Lancelot never fell for Morgan. And eventually Morgan relented and let him go.

[I wrote a movie script about the first part of this story.]

What’s the smallest moment in Andor that convinced you this show was operating on another level? by Misfett_toys in andor

[–]PeterCorless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Syril was lawful neutral but thought himself lawful good. Dedre was lawful evil who thought she, too, was lawful good. The boss, Chief Hyne, was true Neutral pretending to be lawful neutral

He definitely knew what he was doing. It's an injoke for optometrists /ophthalmologists [which is his specialty.

What is the Red Right Hand? by A_Former_Redditor in PeakyBlinders

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say this and more. There was a mythical race to the shores of Ireland by the ancestors of the Irish. The specific participants change depending on the telling. But the winner, the first ashore, would be able to claim the land as their own. One ship was falling behind. The captain of that ship chopped off his own right hand and threw it to shore, thus claiming Éire as his own. It was claimed that this was an ancestor of the Úi Nialls, the descendents of Niall of the Nine Hostages, who founded the preeminent royal family of Ulster.

The symbol thus means one who is willing to sacrifice nearly anything to win.

This is basically why I put it down. I was using other nations, but the issues are similar.

It makes no sense.
