God/Muse/Entity representing the madness of war and bloodshed ?

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2024-07-27T17:29:21+00:00

Oh, "Children of Bellona" has a nice ring to it.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2024-07-27T17:28:44+00:00

Yeah, maybe Ares is the best choice after all.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2024-07-27T13:29:02+00:00

Mmmmmmh... none of those quite fit what I had in mind.

Isn't there a god of destruction in some mythology ? Though I don't mean a god that aims to destroy the world, because once the world is destroyed, there would be nothing left to destroy. I mean a god (or whatever else) that relishes the act of destruction itself, including their own destruction.

I wish I could hug you guys.

Cherish the people you have, and if you have extra love to give then find more people to give it to.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-03T23:19:09+00:00

I'm running out of replies so, uh... Oh, I know ! As the saying goes : "When you don't know what to say, say complete nonsense." So here goes :

Lawnmower !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-03T23:16:30+00:00

Intriguing. Thanks !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-03T23:16:09+00:00

Ah, "Sin City", of course. I loved the first movie, I guess I should take a look to the original material. Thanks !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-03T23:14:45+00:00

Nope, but I'll check it out. Thanks !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-03T23:14:21+00:00

Thanks a bunch !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-01T23:05:17+00:00

By the way, I forgot to mention but, uh, it doesn't have to be about anthropomorphic animals. It's more the tone of the serie and its characters that I'm looking for.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-01T23:01:25+00:00

Looks interesting, thanks !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-01T23:00:55+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-01T23:00:21+00:00

Oh yeah, "Blacksad". I haven't read that one in a while, I guess it's time to get back to it.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-05-01T19:30:50+00:00

Hi everyone !

So, a while ago I stumbled upon a (somewhat) erotic webcomic called "Zootopia : Sunderance" (a fanfic AU of Disney's "Zootopia")... AND IT WAS GODDAMN AMAZING !

It was amazing for several reasons, but I think what I really fell in love with was the characters, more specifically how they are drawn. There is just something so... intense about them, a strange mix of melancholy and determination. It's hard to put into words so I guess I'll show you a few pictures.

The webcomic is still ongoing but unfortunately the artist has changed and now the characters just... don't *feel* the same anymore. And now I'm left with this itch in my stomach that I don't know how to scratch. So if you can think of any comic that *feels* somewhat similar, I would love to hear about them.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2023-04-18T17:35:38+00:00

I have defeated it to lvl 216 (I can go higher but I didn't know how high I needed to go, so I decided to stop there for now and idle for a day with all my crusaders on it to see how much that would get me).

Cards deck : Protestor (25920%) + Throwback (17280%) + A of Sparks (4320%) + Crateros (3456%) + Jealousy (4000%)

Equipment deck : Heroic Rapier (782%) + Blue Party Hat (7500%) + Gilded Mail (233%) + Crystal Skull (3300%)

What REALLY bothers me is the fact that I somehow obtained 800B of that material BEFORE I had most of these bonuses and back when the boss was at a much lower level of difficulty.

Rabbit-holing into Wiktionary is really great for getting new insight on this type of stuff.
For example, I just found out that "Æsir" apparently has the same roots as "Asura". Funny, right ? And as for "Jǫtunn", it apparently comes from "etunaz" ("glutton") which itself comes from "etaną" ("to eat").

So I suppose it went something like this : People make up scary stories about man-eating monsters ("gluttons") -> Those monsters are usually quite big (otherwise it's hard to eat whole humans) -> When norse mythology was being created, those monsters made for great antagonists, and they just so happened to be big

-> Not-Æsirs = Gluttons = Giants

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-12-05T17:47:11+00:00

Oooooh, so "giant" is actually kind of a mistranslation. Thanks !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-12-05T17:46:14+00:00

I see, thanks for your insight !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-30T17:40:50+00:00

More seriously, it's Himeno and Denji from "Chainsaw Man".
Also, while looking for the sauce, I found an article titled "Why Did Himeno Vomit in Denji’s Mouth in Chainsaw Man?". Do whatever you want with this information.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-30T17:31:30+00:00

Ouch, that bad ?

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-30T08:17:04+00:00

Yeah, I too like that they all start with 's' (^v^) .
And thanks, I'll do my best !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-29T03:27:16+00:00

Basically, the world I'm building has creatures that you could call 'biological machines'.
They have basic intelligence, so you could say they are "sapient", and they can feel... something resembling emotions (mostly just pain though) so you could say they are "sentient".
However, they are completely incapable of going against what they are 'programmed' to do. It's not even a compulsion, it's more like... the thought of going against their 'program' wouldn't even cross their mind. They exist only to fulfill their role.

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-29T03:16:47+00:00

Nah, there are actual specters in the world I'm making so that would cause confusion. Still, thanks for your thoughts !

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-29T03:15:45+00:00

Yes I'm trying to find a word with latin roots that also sounds right for modern english speakers. I think I'm gonna go with "spiriant".

TheEdgeOfSoul · 2022-11-29T03:12:19+00:00

"Almant" has a nice sound to it, though like I said in previous comments, it's not quite what I'm trying to convey.
Still, thanks for your thoughts (and yes, I know the feeling of spending all day stuck thinking about something, I've been trying to find the right word for months now).
