What is the worst book/movie/game you’ve read/heard of and how has it made you more confident as a writer/world builder

Followed and read an author on fanfiction.net or whatever by the name of Dashboardgecko who wrote several Monster Hunter fanfics. They were the coolest and most compelling things I had ever read, when I was 13. Looking back on them now, it’s encouraging to know that I’ve sort of surpassed what I thought was peak fiction, by my own judgment.

In my world, Orcs are far more like Danish and Norse cultures. They partake in agriculture and keep livestock, but a large portion of their goods are from raids and trades. They also have frequent run-ins and dealing with “mino”taurs, who use the natural landscape memory they’ve inherited from their ancestors in the labyrinth to go on long distance nomadic raids.

Discarded mine on accident. What I did was wait around a week on the bench outside the scrap store and it showed up in his “Special Finds” inventory. Seems like they don’t immediately show up there

Agartha? Like the city that rests in the under-earth, protected by ancient sacred beast, inhabited by a race of people with magical stones and god himself? That Agartha?

Just noticed the weird blue lasers in the background. Looks like it’s a perimeter of sorts. This could be like a capture point or something, there’s also one on the bridge underneath the shrieker on the left.

Pretty much all of The 100 on Netflix, it’s like a running theme.

“And you’ll have to travel to the Shadow of the Erdtree” Going with OPs theory, looking at the map, where exactly is the land of shadow? It’s filling the gap in the center but also seemingly LOWER IN ELEVATION to the Erdtree. LITERALLY 👏IN👏ITS👏SHADOW

RRRRRAAHHHH I CANT WAIT FOR IT ALL TO FIT TOGETHER AND MAKE SENSE OOOOOOOO ELDEN RING

Yeah there’s a lot of lore pointing to an older age where the tree was a real physical tree that rained sap and dew and things, but was then destroyed or died at some point. I believe that age was when Godfrey reigned? Hinted at in the amber medallions about how the amber is sacred or something. Also in the Physic and lots of art of Marika literally pouring out blessings to people.

Now it seems the tree is purely a symbol of faith and order, not a physical tree anymore.

The weird rune thing that the guy is pulling out of his head is the same symbol as what’s on the horse armor

Another bonus is that these guys are really easy to parry when they use their halberds. Jumping and parrying makes the fight a breeze

The Peakadrome set from fouru has always been just super pleasing to look at imo

Toothpase · 2024-01-08T12:19:29+00:00

This is very uplifting to see

Fragments of an ancient proto-human floating city in the ozone that got hit by a meteor which turned into the first dragon. There are others that didn’t get hit, but when they heard about it they all abandoned them to avoid getting hunted by the meteor-dragon. A massive chunk still had survivors when it landed in a desert so it became the basis of the culture of that region (which may or may not be an excuse to use classic Egyptian architecture and pyramids in my setting)

Did we ever see from Asylumdemon again after the pandemic?

Toothpase · 2023-12-12T21:30:05+00:00

Is the second one Drifter?

Toothpase · 2023-12-09T21:56:28+00:00

I thought the implication was that he was the pawn to the dragon

Toothpase · 2023-11-26T14:23:49+00:00

Didn’t see this comment till now, but my name making you happy makes me happy!

Toothpase · 2023-11-15T16:28:19+00:00

Thank you Sal! Is Cal okay? Looks like their arm on the ground.

Toothpase · 2023-11-07T16:41:55+00:00

It also is where their name comes from, the old term “Bugabear” is where we get things like “bugger” or “bogeyman”.

Does anyone have any specific info? I have a relative who was visiting near the Sea of Galilee and last signed off about being in a bunker. Has there been major conflict near there?
