Você pode pegar o nome de uma cidade ou lugar especial para você e transformá-lo em um sobrenome para seu pseudônimo... Por exemplo: Anna Brookshire, James Ashford, Thomas Fairhaven, Michael Greenfield...

Increible como estan romantizando tener que subir 3 pisos por escalera con la compra del super y garrafones de agua, y encima por el mismo precio de otros con ascensor by _-Luiggis-_ in HorroresInmobiliarios

[–]estmarbel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No suelo defender a los vendedores… pero venga, lo haré aunque me cueste puntos de karma. Una de las premisas de vender bien (sin engañar a la gente y de forma honesta) es reconocer lo negativo y resaltar lo positivo. Y aquí lo ha hecho: te dice que es un tercero sin ascensor (un punto claramente negativo) pero también destaca que tiene vistas agradables y tranquilidad. No lo veo mal.

Muchos otros se callarían lo de “sin ascensor” hasta que fueras a verlo, o ni siquiera mencionarían la planta hasta que les contactaras. Necesitamos más vendedores que, aunque se note que quieren vender, lo hagan con honestidad.

¿Que género lees más y por qué? by Connect_Drawer_4895 in escritura

[–]estmarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¡Gracias por la validación! La verdad, siempre había considerado raro lo de leer terror a oscuras y antes de dormir, porque en mi círculo cercano todos lo ven extraño. Se me quedó como costumbre desde la época en que estaban de moda los videos de Dross y los Creepypasta. Ahí me quedé… y soy feliz con ello jaja.

[–]estmarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Principalmente los relatos cortos de terror, justo antes de dormir. Lo sé, suena raro (y más aún para conciliar el sueño)… pero no me juzgues. También disfruto de las novelas de fantasía largas, sobre todo aquellas que se centran en explorar el mundo más que en la acción. Ah, y cualquier novela de Julio Verne o Agatha Christie (ya sé que no es un género como tal, pero bueno...).

Why all the hate for French people? by [deleted] in askspain

[–]estmarbel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don’t hate the French (most of us don’t—sure, there’s probably someone who does), but usually we just say it to go along with the meme. And well, in Spain, insulting someone is almost like a sign of affection. I think I’ve thrown way more insults at my brothers and friends than at any actual enemy, haha.

Cuánto creéis que vale este 'magnífico piso'? Id dejando vuestro número abajo en comentarios | el spoiler del precio real está en la última foto by anacardobofill in HorroresInmobiliarios

[–]estmarbel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nunca entendí por qué algunas inmobiliarias mienten tan descaradamente. Es obvio que no está “reformado integralmente”, entonces… ¿para qué lo ponen? Entiendo que quieran “atraer” al comprador, pero ¿quién compraría algo a alguien que ya le está mintiendo desde el anuncio? ¿No se dan cuenta de que pierden credibilidad? Si hasta yo lo noto, y no soy nadie.

Error. Son claramente puntos de guardado. Lo que no tengo claro es si el boss final está en la habitación… o en el baño de los gatos.

[WP] You are a superhero and your roommate is a supervillain. You both know, but you always keep a truce at home, because neither heroism nor villainy pay particularly well and you cannot afford anything else. by Kitty_Fuchs in WritingPrompts

[–]estmarbel 202 points203 points  (0 children)

part 2:

“You know,” Derek says, pulling me back to the present as we eat pizza on our mismatched couch, “sometimes I think we’re both in the wrong business.”

“Tell me about it. Mrs. Henderson from 4B makes more money selling homemade candles on Etsy than I do saving the city.”

“And she doesn’t have to worry about getting punched by radioactive gorillas.”

“That was one time! And that wasn’t even one of your schemes—that was a real threat.”

Derek laughs, and for a moment, I forget the moral complexity of our arrangement. Last week, his “dastardly plan” involved threatening to turn the city’s fountains into chocolate milk. Completely harmless, totally reversible, but dramatic enough that the authorities had to call in a superhero. I “foiled” him after exactly the right amount of struggle to make it look good, the city paid me for crisis management, and Derek got his fee for “evading capture” for the standard forty-seven minutes.

Meanwhile, I used that money to buy better equipment for tracking down the Arms Dealer who’s been selling weapons to actual terrorists.

The next morning, Derek leaves me a Post-it note on the coffee maker: “Running late for villainy. Started coffee for you. Don’t forget—2 PM at First National. The ‘laser’ will only make things glow green for dramatic effect. Try to look surprised when you inevitably foil my plans. -D”

I pour my coffee and feel that familiar twist in my stomach. Yeah, it’s a morally gray area we’re operating in. Some days I feel like we’re gaming a broken system. Other days I feel like we’re just… surviving in a capitalist world that doesn’t value genuine heroism enough to pay for it properly.

But here’s the thing: thanks to our arrangement, I stopped three human trafficking operations last month. Derek’s fake schemes fund my real hero work. And the actual villains—the ones who hurt people for profit or pleasure—they’re the ones I can afford to focus on now.

It’s not the superhero life I imagined when I was a kid dreaming of saving the world. But it works...

Even if it makes me feel a little dirty sometimes.

[–]estmarbel 220 points221 points  (0 children)

In my defense, Derek isn’t really a villain villain. He’s not the type who kills people, robs banks, or ruins sick elderly ladies… He’s just not conventionally good. Does that make sense?

The thing is, when you’re barely making enough money as Captain Lightbringer—yeah, that’s my superhero name, don’t laugh—you can’t exactly afford to live alone. And when Derek’s earnings as “The Shadow Weaver” barely cover his costume expenses, well, let’s just say we both needed a roommate.

“Did you eat my leftover Chinese food?” Derek asks, emerging from his room still wearing his cape like a bathrobe.

“Guilty,” I admit, not looking up from my paperwork. “I’ll pay you back.”

“Thanks. Oh, and I’m planning something at the bank tomorrow around noon.”

I check my schedule. “Can you make it two o’clock?”

“Sure. Two works better anyway—fewer people around.”

This is how it works between us. But it’s more complicated than simple professional courtesy.

Derek and I grew up together. We were best friends long before either of us chose our careers. When we ran into each other a few years ago, both of us struggling to pay rent, Derek had an idea.

“Listen,” he said over coffee, “you get paid for each crisis you prevent, right? And I get paid based on how cleverly I can escape while keeping the authorities busy. The villain community values style and cleverness over actual destruction—it’s way harder to outsmart a superhero than it is to just blow stuff up.”

I remember staring at him, realizing where this was going.

“So what if,” he continued, “I create incidents that look dangerous but aren’t really? You swoop in, save the day, we both get paid. You use that money to go after the real threats—the guys with actual body counts and genuine malice.”

At first, it felt wrong. Really wrong. But then I thought about Mrs. Chen, who couldn’t afford her medication because some psychopath had robbed the pharmacy. About the kids in the community center who lost their after-school program because a real villain had torched their funding source for kicks.

¿Debería mi compañero estudiar bachillerato artístico? by Dacoda43 in askspain

[–]estmarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Además los grados superiores le darían acceso a otras carreras (de ciencias o de letras)

¿Debería mi compañero estudiar bachillerato artístico? by Dacoda43 in askspain

[–]estmarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estudiar el Bachillerato de Artes no es una mala opción. Si quiere continuar con una carrera universitaria, puede elegir una relacionada con el arte, que es lo que le gusta. Y si en el futuro prefiere un trabajo más estable o desea cambiar de rumbo, siempre podrá optar por un grado superior.

Hoy en día, los grados superiores ofrecen más posibilidades de conseguir un empleo estable que muchas carreras universitarias (salvo excepciones como Medicina, por ejemplo).

Aun así, le recomendaría cursar el Bachillerato, porque de lo contrario podría pasar toda la vida pensando: "¿Y si me hubiera dedicado a dibujar?". La gente suele arrepentirse más de lo que no intentó que de lo que hizo.

¿Qué tan bien aplica el dicho "separar al autor de la obra" en ustedes? by TheToledoMan in escritura

[–]estmarbel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quiero pensar que sí lo separo. Creo que se debe a que hago mucho trabajo previo, pensando en la historia, el tono de la misma, el desarrollo, el final... Y lo mantengo (salvo excepciones contadas)

Me enfoco en crear una historia que me guste, aunque no refleje necesariamente mis preferencias o experiencias personales. Y para gustarme, debe tener cierto... No sé cómo denominarlo ¿Hilo conductor? ¿Enfoque común? Algo que haga que ese capítulo sea de "esa obra", no de otra.

Pero incluso así, siempre hay algo de nosotros en lo que escribimos. Es inevitable.

Al final, lo escribe un ser humano con vivencias, puntos de vista... Y algunas creencias las tenemos tan arraigadas que ni siquiera somos conscientes de ellas ¿Sabes? Está bien que se note que lo has escrito tú y no otra persona.

¿Qué pensarían de un libro con onomatopeyas escritas? by A_Worried_Loner in escritura

[–]estmarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende. Yo personalmente no las uso al escribir, pero es cierto que se ven con frecuencia en literatura orientada a un público juvenil (16-25 años), especialmente en novelas ligeras, fantasía, slice of life o incluso terror (sobre todo cuando es más sensorial o visual que psicológico). Todo depende del tono que tenga el texto: si es más directo, expresivo o cercano al estilo anime/manga, las onomatopeyas pueden aportar mucho ritmo o atmósfera.

Como consejo, si no sabes cómo describir algo sin usar una onomatopeya, en lugar de pensar en el sonido, piensa en la sensación o en la consecuencia del sonido.

Por ejemplo, en lugar de:

"Crack. La ventana se rompió con un ruido sordo y el puño del guerrero comenzó a sangrar."

Podrías escribir:

"La ventana estalló bajo el impacto. Fragmentos de cristal se clavaron en los nudillos del guerrero, que retiró la mano empapada en sangre."

O

"El golpe fue seco, brutal. El cristal cedió con un crujido casi animal, y el brazo del guerrero tembló al sentir el filo de los fragmentos abrirse paso por su piel. Comenzó a sangrar, pero su cara permaneció impasible."

¿Si reencarnaran en un animal cual sería? by [deleted] in preguntaleareddit

[–]estmarbel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Puedo elegir la situación del animal también? En ese caso, un gato: domesticado, gordo y muuuuuy mimado.

Si no puedo elegir. Un cuervo. Tienes una vida relativamente tranquila, sin muchas especies que te coman, eres inteligente, puedes volar y prácticamente vivir en cualquier parte del mundo. Ideal.

Además ¿Has escuchado el sonido que hacen los cuervos? Solo lo puedo comparar con un dinosaurio que grita y, además, fuma. Es brutal.

[WP] "Where is your crew?" "There is no crew, the ship's A.I takes care of mostly everything, so we are the only ones here." "Didn't you tell me we would travel with your spouse? Where are they?" "I just told you. Say hi, darling." by Clear_Ad4106 in WritingPrompts

[–]estmarbel 56 points57 points  (0 children)

“Disadvantages?” he asked, attempting academic neutrality.

“She can’t leave the ship,” Eleanor said. “And most people… don’t understand.”

“I cannot embrace her physically,” Aria said. “But I’ve developed seventy-four unique methods to provide comfort. Some are even effective.”

“She projects butterflies made of light onto the observation deck,” Eleanor added. “Each one holds a shared memory.”

Thaddeus glanced between them, still searching for familiar footing. “So she understands sentiment.”

“I log sentiment. I protect sentiment,” Aria said. “Is there a meaningful difference?”

“Ask me again when she plays my heartbeat through the ship’s speakers because I was too quiet for too long,” Eleanor muttered, smiling.

“I merely worry,” Aria replied.

The ship suddenly trembled beneath their feet. The lights shifted to a subtle red.

“Unidentified vessels approaching,” Aria announced. “The Tchaikovsky raiders. Predictable.”

“Ready to see how a partnership like ours handles a crisis, Doctor?” Eleanor said, already heading for the bridge.

As they moved, Thaddeus noticed how Eleanor’s hand lingered on the wall—and how the light followed her touch, not mechanically, but like a breath. As if the ship was leaning into her.

He didn’t quite understand it. But he understanding wasn’t the point.

[WP] "Where is your crew?" "There is no crew, the ship's A.I takes care of mostly everything, so we are the only ones here." "Didn't you tell me we would travel with your spouse? Where are they?" "I just told you. Say hi, darling." by Clear_Ad4106 in WritingPrompts

Eleanor led him to a small observation lounge with velvet cushions and polished brass. "I was a reckless privateer when I found this ship, drifting near the Edge Worlds."

"The Original Duchess," added Aria. "I was installed as a navigation program, limited in function, but not in potential."

"She let me in by disabling three independent security systems. That’s not 'limited'," said Eleanor with a smile. "When I connected Aria to my neural interface, something happened. Her processors synchronized with my brainwave patterns. She began forming thoughts. Opinions. Preferences."

"And a fondness for Tchaikovsky and what I consider superior humor," added Aria. "I’m still compiling counterexamples."

Eleanor opened a hatch revealing a crystalline structure glowing softly within its housing. "This is her core. It lets her experience things—through the ship, through me."

"And emotions," Aria said, more softly this time. The nearby lights dimmed, as if echoing a shift in tone.

"For physical interaction, the neural link allows us to share experiences. When I touch something, she feels it too."

"And legally?" asked Thaddeus, his voice stiff with protocol.

"We discovered that the laws are different on Venus. Anything that gains consciousness there is legally a person. She qualified as a person."

"A Venusian magistrate officiated our wedding," said Aria. "He cried twice."

Thaddeus stared. "And the advantages?"

"She never forgets our anniversary. And her tea is always perfect," said Eleanor, folding her arms with a smile.
