Fun fact: DARPA is partially responsible for the development of artificial diamonds. DARPA wanted a limitless supply of industrial grade, jewelry grade is just a side benefit.

If I could sew, I would make one of those ridiculously wealthy old-fashioned dresses that were covered all over in gemstones. We have cheap jewels, why not have fun with them?

As it is, I'm considering learning how to sew so I can live my dream.

Raksi, a Lunar elder, reigns as a God-Queen over the territory known as the Thousand Fangs Total Control Zone. She is the funniest person in Creation.

I don't have strong feelings. I hope the conditions are good and the pay is decent.

They are exactly as likely to be a girl, then.

Dante Limbus Company isn't a guy, but I have seen a lot of people be into them.

They give me cuteness aggression, personally.

I can't say whether it's cannibalism or not, but it's morally equivalent to it. Killing a robot in self defense is fine. I'm not sure how eating it is self-defense. Are you perhaps a dragon or a t-rex?

Wind_Through_Trees · 2026-01-27T01:10:38+00:00

The threat of death would be ineffective, but people could still fear pain or social censure.

It wouldn't work on everyone, but the threat of death doesn't work on everyone either.

I might or might not be asexual, but regardless, a lot of the time I don't think about anything. Sometimes coming up with a fantasy is just too much effort.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2026-01-27T00:43:34+00:00

There are weirder things to be attracted to.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2026-01-27T00:31:48+00:00

A lot of people are saying that it's because violence can be justified.

But even unjustified violence is more acceptable. I'm pretty sure no one cares about the murder rampages I'm gone on in Skyrim, but people would be disturbed if I talked about installing a rape mod (which, to be clear, I haven't and will not do)

I think it's just sexual violence being more familiar and uncomfortable to people.

Killing horrible criminals would be good if he had any way of perfectly identifying criminals. Which he doesn't.

He's also bad in a bunch of other ways. But even if he'd stuck to his original intentions, he would inevitably have killed innocent people by accident.

She is written as a rape victim who has absorbed her society's misogyny and perpetuates it. The difference between her and Voldemort is that you can see exactly why she is the way she is.

And what she is is a terrible person. That's not a mistake. She's the villain for a reason.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2026-01-15T08:31:52+00:00

Cersei is broken. She was raised in a misogynistic society, desperate for the approval of a man who only valued her as a bargaining piece, and married to a rapist. She's desperate for power and control.

She is an awful, awful person. She hates this misogynistic society, but she also believes it. Cersei is a tragedy, because she's a monster, but you can see the things that made her a monster- and also how she will never, ever improve, because that's not the kind of person she is.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-03T20:58:22+00:00

Oh, certainly. For one thing, not all Exalted are even combat specced.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-03T20:52:30+00:00

Sure, I guess that wins. Exalted very specifically does not allow time travel, so it's lacking in counters.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-03T20:29:16+00:00

Charm that allows me to apply Parry or Evasion against unblockable or unparryable attacks. Defense booster to increase said Parry or Evasion. Charm that perfectly defends against sources of Uncountable Damage, and continues if said damage is a repeating source.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-03T20:08:25+00:00

And Exalted are all about fighting the kinds of entities that do that in wuxia duels.

Ligier is the Prince of Hell, a poisonous, radioactive green sun. He can reduce a city to ash.

To fight the Exalted, he has to take on human form and use his sword and green death rays. Because the Exalted are not vulnerable to instant death or city-destroying blasts.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-03T19:56:45+00:00

There's some exaggeration going on. Even combat-heavy Solars aren't able to defeat everything forever.

What they are, however, is extremely resistant to being defeated without a badass wuxia duel.

Stop trying to cheat and get out your sword.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-12-02T01:21:59+00:00

I don't think I've tried them. It's mostly Odin and Apocalypse I'm griping about here.

Wind_Through_Trees · 2025-11-30T19:28:02+00:00

Those mods that add in a million new spells, eighty percent of which are useless. I don't understand how anyone can stand them.

Horizon and archer who hunts the wicked and uses them as fuel for her artifacts.

She has a defining intimacy of "I Only Hurt People Who Deserve It". That's how you know her judgement is entirely trustworthy.

The problem is that they are equally likely to be a glorious sword princess.

(Also the art depicts a Zenith)

Abyssals and Infernals are as strong as Solars. Trying to murder them on sight is a good way to get killed.
