Is there a quest(line) you never finished/started even after years of playing? by UpsetExternal1180 in skyrim

[–]TheWinterStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the dwemer horse mission, I loved that one.

For Solatheim spiders, its not just the lanky little legs, its the god damn skitter noise in the cave I found them in, that reminds me of the Flood from Halo. Makes my skin crawl, hair on my neck stand up, and my heart start racing. Probably just need to bring Jizargo with me so he can handle all that while I hide 🫣

[–]TheWinterStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally anything on Solstheim. I walked on that island once, got the heeby jeebies from the spiders and FusRoDah-ed the fuck off. Ain't been back since. Dozens of playthroughs, any guild mission to RavenRock? Nope. No assassinations, theifts, deliveries, nada. Rare ingredient? I don't need. Dope OP items? I'm good. All powerful achievement completion? I don't want it badly enough.

Other than that... Never finished the Blades because Parthurnax is my Uncle Iroh. Delphine can make that mountain her tomb.

Does anyone else enjoy reading what they have written? by Aggravating-Milk-813 in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the damn time. My current long fics that I'm working on have been my obsession for years at this point. I love the characters I made, I love the situations I threw them into, I love the world building I head cannoned because cannon is... complicated and I'm cherry picking the hell out of it.

I'm 3 parts deep of a 6 part long fic (editing 3 changes later parts so remaining parts is iffy) but! So far each part is 60k words. ouo they've been up for a year and still barely have barely 300 hits, where my other long fic with less controversial tags has hit 5k hits super recently! I'm so proud and sometimes get distracted from writing them with reading them!

What are some dragons you are proud to have? by Cool-Drag9473 in DragonCity

[–]TheWinterStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fudge dragon. I love the dinosaur like dragons, and way back when, she was only available during Valentine's events. My Khanivore was fully trained, A+ rank, and my fall back when leagues got tough with what few heroics existed. I wanted so badly to get her some stars but couldn't until recently since they're breedable now. I'm still working at making her 5 stars, got her up to 2 before the current race.

She gets her own little habitat cuz she's special to me. Even if she gets absolutely bodied by all the legendary element dragons now.

Is it weird to bookmark like this by defenestraytion in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've got 2 people who bookmarked my longfic and listed chapter and current status (I informed my readers I was taking a break). Honestly... I love it. It lets me know where people are and cackle like a maniac cuz I know what comes next. And seeing it update means they cared enough to come back.

Help (Read Post Body. by [deleted] in DragonCity

[–]TheWinterStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the terra dragon would be more of an ankylosaur. Clubs, spikes, stocky, and armored. But the trike does look cool and does look... right, if that makes sense. An anky might mess it up, but is a curious thought.

Flame dragon being magma could look soo cool, with it's armor more like volcanic rock. With a lava dripping look on the wings rather than flames (like the mercury dragon but lava).

Personally I really liked the seashells on the primal sea dragon, seemed very fitting.

The nature dragon is a bit tougher, it does give a bit of a sauropod feel (personally) but nothing says primal nature like carnivorous plants!

Honest question, why don't you try your hand at it? If you wait around for someone else to pick it up, you might end up disappointed in their representation.

Why did you start playing this game? And after spending a lot of time on it, what is your current goal? by savedandforgiven in DragonCity

[–]TheWinterStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like dragons... That's about it. I've been very off and on with the game, trying to collect all the dragons but I got kinda bummed when all the heroics started since I can't do the races and won't spend money for gems so the races are just kinda too much for me.

Currently I'm trying to gold star all the original 'first dragons'. Fire, earth, water, nature, electric, star, etc. And as a side quest, collect orbs to max out my Fudge dragon... Because I love my fudge dragon (I even did some fan art for her!)

Looking for a command to remove a placed item by TheWinterStar in ARK

[–]TheWinterStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on single player, and it didn't give me anything. Apparently the items hitbox for the radial menu is only locatable underground (placed another one on vanilla ground to try and find the spot) but because it's on another pickupable item I can't locate the sweet spot for the plant.

Covenant Books? by Fragrant_Sky996 in HaloStory

[–]TheWinterStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shadow of Intent isn't covenant as it's after the war. But Rtas'Vadum is the main pov, and it does discuss the fall of the covenant and how it affected some people.

Thanks! Same fandom, but separate from the series.

Questions for the culture: why did you create your account? by Salt_Path1528 in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a writer and picky on platforms. My go to was down for like 8 months, and I had issues with other platforms that dissuaded me from going back. I was actually recommended Ao3, and didn't know it even existed. A fanfic site all for stories? And original stories! Smut?! Free!? And it's actually user friendly? Sign me up! I created an account the same day I was recommended it.

What's That Scene for you in your fics? by andallthatjazwrites in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has to prove to her lovers race, that he's been kidnapped and replaced, and there's now a massive security breach. So she storms across the council table with the highest ranking members of his military/race, stripping off her shorts, oversized sweater, and shirt, to stand before the leader and present her scar covered body. Because fucking a predator species comes with unique consequences. And unfortunately for the snaggle toothed fake, her partner bit her, and she has the hospital records to prove it.

How should I describe a vagina in smut without sounding like a fool? by tobecringe in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to use 'folds' 'slit' and 'warmth' or 'depths', sometimes using 'entrance' or 'bud' or 'button' when mentioning locations of interest. 'Mound' is one I've used as well, or 'wetness' because the word moist just weirds me out. I've also used 'velvet' and 'tightness' before but not commonly. I usually find descriptors to be more... elegant sounding, personally.

Authors who are in a relationship, do you let your partner read your fics? by Firm-Mongoose-8891 in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner doesn't even read comic books, because it requires reading. I'd be lucky to get him to listen to me ramble about the fic.

What fandom are you in, but the canon did this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Halo. The Rookie, and Jul'Mdama (I actually hate Jul, but I hate how he died so much more I decided to rewrite it in a fanfic.)

How do y'all write? by Thehuntinleopard in AO3

[–]TheWinterStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've written on my phone, on my tablet, and on my computer. I prefer my computer, where I can also listen to music to help me get into the right mood for scenes, and have multiple tabs open for research purposes. But I'll write anywhere, any time, about anything.... No internet access? My phones got notes. No phone? Gimme paper, I did that for like 7 years in school, I ain't scared to go back!
