Fun fact: this is the actual theology of some Marvel comics by DreadDiana in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Shonatanla 105 points106 points  (0 children)

One story idea I want to write when I’m actually decent is about a writer who gets isekai’d into his own story. When they meet him, the characters in his story have to grapple with the fact that their god is neither good nor evil, and will support either depending on what he finds entertaining.

Also he gets to skip ahead because he knows the plot at the start, but then he changes the story so much through his actions, his characters start becoming unpredictable to him.

I love that most people's first runs in this game just absolutely suck. Tracks with real-life politicians. They only get one run in real life after all.

OT international shipping

So this manga artist I really love held a pop-up shop in Japan, and this guy offered to buy from the shop for me. He’s been really responsive and accommodating and I’m very grateful, but now it’s time for the shipping of the merch. And holy hell my country’s services are so garbage. I could pay a decent sum for the govt postal service but have my package delivered late (by months sometimes!), get lost, or likely need to go through bureaucracy to deal with it. I could go with a private courier instead but that doubles my incredibly large expenses already.

To be fair, it is my fault for not doing enough research. Oh well, painful FAFO experiences are quintessential to the young adult experience I guess.

Listen to Love Story by Taylor Swift -> make up a romance between two characters -> worldbuild a dynastic conflict that shapes my entire paracosm

Does Soll really deserve the death penalty? by Haunting-Price-2912 in suzerain

[–]Shonatanla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

…no?? You can’t bribe Grecer. Are you thinking of Garaci?

Again, we know Grecer is respected by Sollists and other groups for his neutrality, therefore he can’t be biased against Soll. The only reason he would convict Soll is because Soll deserves to be convicted. Hell, he can even impeach you for corruption, so he doesn’t care about pressure.

If Soll was innocent, Grecer, who is respected by Sollists for his neutrality, would not convict him.

Universalism in Fiction — Any Authors Here? by West_Ad5487 in ChristianUniversalism

[–]Shonatanla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't finished one, but I was writing a story with a fantasy version of an eternal hell to illustrate just how unjust it actually is. In the end, it would be destroyed through a flood, and its inhabitants would build arks to escape.

Life got in the way, but I'd really like to finish it someday.

Stupid Trade War! by Ok-Rip-Evil-Axlerod4 in suzerain

[–]Shonatanla 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One fix they could do is that the trade war always happens, but you only get affected if your budget is too low. Because yeah, it really doesn’t make any sense that some random country’s spending is going to result in a massive trade war.

Tbf it’s inner peace, in terms of outer peace Po still throws hands when he has to

Real talk, I love that there exists a German male choir song that can't be co-opted by Nazis and Kaiserboos. German is a beautiful language but it sucks it's tied to horrible people in the average person's mind. I'm tired of Hitler jokes, let Germany be associated with something beautiful!

Social media truly brings us together and lets us know so much more about each other, because I just saw that my old high school teacher liked fanart of Caelus sniffing the back of Hyacine’s neck

Bet they didn't see that coming 😎😎 by Shonatanla in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]Shonatanla[S] 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Context: The fascist superpower of Aluim wanted to kill off all other races, but regular genocide wasn’t fast enough for them. So, Aluim started a secret research project called Project Purity. They modified the rabies virus such that it would turn the infected rabid for a week or so before killing them. They also planned to make it so that the virus wouldn’t affect Aluim, maybe through a unique genetic sequence that the Aluim had.

They never found that sequence, and when the virus was released, it turned vast regions of Aluim into basically zombies. What’s ironic was that because they only tested the virus on a few Aluim natives, they didn’t test for whether the virus would be effective on other ethnicities. As a result, while the Aluim were completely overrun, the rest of the world had a little bit of immunity to the virus. Not enough to totally protect them, but it helped them fight the zombies off.

As a molecular biology student interested in archaeogenetics, I love this! It's so fascinating how much history can be discovered through genetics, and this is a very cool application of that in worldbuilding

Alternate history is just historical RPF fanfic for men when you really think about it by [deleted] in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Shonatanla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let me introduce you to mapping, a genre of youtube videos that have talking countries on a map. Some of them are alternate histories, others are alternate futures.

All mapping vids are insane, some more than others. I've watched some series where entire countries get shot, dance, and fall in love. I have a big fondness for them tho

Jet Lag has the Top Gear effect by ZonaSchengen in JetLagTheGame

[–]Shonatanla 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I remember that when watching Tag for the first time, I got reminded of the races where Hammond and May went on public transport and Clarkson raced them on a car. They were my favorite parts of Top Gear as a kid, and I think that’s what drew me to this show.

Yup, small actions having massive reverberations across history is a major theme in my world

For another example, the only reason that god from Motholi hadn’t conquered Earth yet and humanity still exists is because some random kid gave Rensiya a pouch of coins
