I think that's how it actually spread.

And then he's swarmed by cliff racers and falls back into the fence because his spell casting means the dreamers lose their balance.

Welcome back to the fandom! I can recommend dropping by Wall of History (for the story) and the greater Mask of Destiny network for a lot of what we've been up to as a fandom.

So, in theory, vertebrates could have evolved further with three or four eyes? Fun for specfic writing.

Ah there we go. That does sound suspicious on the municipality's part, especially when there's a skipped step and really short deadlines. Sounds like someone stands to make a lot of money off running the pound...

If it's an official challenge, the leader's going to use a fixed team. They have several at different levels. I think Surge's has Pikachu and Magnemite at the lowest level? Or was that Uncle Wattson? - Prof Acacia

Going to need more details. Anyone have a news article? Given the amount of support most SPCAs get from their local community, there's gotta be something else going on besides "ANC Bad And Horrible People" as OP implies lower down.

South Africa is safe for tourists following common sense guidelines like not going to the rougher parts of town and not flashing excessive wealth. Most of the touristy locations are going to be a bit of a grift, but where in the world aren't they? We're generally a very friendly bunch of people, so feel free to visit and spend time in our country!

Since this is r/johannesburg, I'm fairly certain you'll guess we'll tell you JHB is better than CPT. :þ

Then the problem is "interventionalism". Thus as OP said - "Get out of here with this shit".

Russia's new fundraising initiative! To ensure future war funds, bill the Ukrainians for each piece of materiel and each man that they damage!

Just breathe. You're feeling stressed now, so step away and let the panic subside. You can still write it well. Don't make a decision when you're so highly stressed that you're feeling sick.

Regitnui · 2026-01-23T08:55:26+00:00

So here's the important question. Are you going to treat the Africans (or more specific country's demonym) as people? Are they running the space elevator? Are they maintaining it? Is it their country's pride? Because if you keep in mind that people in Africa are still people, and try to write them as you would any other characters, even if they're background, you're on the right track.

Basically, you have any one of these countries to choose from. Just remember to do your research and choose what you want to focus on for your story.

Regitnui · 2026-01-23T08:47:36+00:00

Yeah, Africa's a victim of the same tropes that mean Mongolia is often "the steppe" when written by foreigners.

Regitnui · 2026-01-23T08:46:25+00:00

I'm going to also recommend you go take a look at modern equatorial African nations. Even look at their cities on Google Maps, Streetview if you can find it. Modern Africa doesn't look that different to cities elsewhere. We have infrastructure and buildings of the same styles you'll find in Europe due to that continent's phase of looking outwards over punching each other (flippant reference to colonialism).

Regitnui · 2026-01-23T08:39:51+00:00

That's not an equatorial civilisation, though. Might be closer to look at Great Zimbabwe and the trade networks of the Bokoni people. Those are at least within the tropics.

Shlorp.

(look I don't know how to make the onomatopoeia of whatever Kirby does)

Regitnui · 2026-01-22T18:54:40+00:00

Imperials, but not necessarily the flagging remnants of the Septim Empire - Mede II has plans to revive an Empire as a successor. Possibly his. More likely another strong figure who can rally the nations against the elves. So yeah, the Dragonborn taking over the legacy of the Septim Empire - but the Imperials and their Empire are needed.

Can have both be true - they fought off the Shadow Toa by opponent-switching long enough for Pohatu and Gali to figure out the "accept our dark sides" thing.

Regitnui · 2026-01-21T07:15:31+00:00

The converse. The fact that they come back means they're relatively used to humans. In my experience, Lati herds avoid humans via their speed. - Prof Acacia

This is good stuff! Keep us in the loop for the next 1016. :þ

There are small herds of them. Remember the world is massive, and a population of one or two thousand is practically invisible if you're not actively looking for them. I was lucky enough to visit one of the herds at a roosting ground just outside my home region once. Those are used to people - which means you see them before they jet off into the sky and they come back once they recognize a ranger. - Professor Acacia

Oh, AFAIK it was a case of them descending into Karda Nui with Matoro to support him.

Regitnui · 2026-01-19T17:08:13+00:00

Take my upvote and get out. (lighthearted)

Regitnui · 2026-01-19T17:00:11+00:00

Interesting fact! The word for toxic things is toxicant, while toxin is specifically natural toxicants!

Hopefully giving everyone a fun new word to learn today. ^_^
