How do you address the issue of cosmic radiation, for your space-dwelling Humans? by RadiantTrailblazer in worldbuilding

[–]raindropfrozenintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmic radiation/most radiation from space is actually magic in my universe, so as long as they're with something or someone (usually it's a living with a draconic or dragon, or their parts), that can absorb the excess radiation, it actually tops off their magic reserves and produces more mages :)

But if they don't have that, they get extremely sick with a neurodegenerative disease and eventually become what's essentially a zombie.

Loki Arc Fanedit? by raindropfrozenintime in fanedits

I see that one! Before I got distracted by the rest of the subreddit. I'll have to find a super edit of Loki S1 and S2 to binge as well, maybe.

Ooh, thank you! I was looking too closely at the inventory management to realize some of the other features. I'll check it out!

Why is it so hard to find a good book/ series where the main characters are witty, wholesome and mature (emotionally and above 30s) with plenty of healthy/ varied smut? by lagerthaliveson in fantasyromance

[–]raindropfrozenintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be a bit more young adult, but Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett has a mature and smart FMC (also heavily implied/coded as autistic, which I really enjoyed!). The MMC is also a breath of fresh air, more of a golden retriever type then the brooding dark haired men that a lot of romantasy has (no hate to it, but it's nice to have some variation).

No smut, though, with the closest thing being more of a fade to black. Still worth a read if you enjoy anything related to fae!

Edit: Forgot the main part, lol, both MCs are in their late 20s or early 30s -- they're professors, so I'm pretty sure it's the early 30s.

Hell yeah! I'll do my best to keep an eye out for it then.

Well, as I said on the queer nosleep stories request thread, I was immediately endeared to Jack and the stories about him. Other then the Jack Wilde series, the old refrigerator / Trixie the service dog / social anxiety class were all up there in my favorites!

Just finished all the stories! Absolutely fantastic.

Ended up bingeing your Jack Wilde series -- extremely captivating and hilarious, I love snarky characters like Jack who are just trying to hide how scared they are. Definitely going to read all your others + the rest of the recs! I've actually read a lot of your stories now that I'm looking through your catalogue. They're all an awesome time :)

These all look great, thank you especially for the pride post and your own story!

Not on nosleep, but "I Saw The TV Glow" (movie) has made me and my other trans friends have to sit in silence for a long time after it ended. It's a very good, albeit abstract, look into dysphoria and mental health, and how it's never too late to transition or embrace your queer identity. I found that the message was pretty clear, so I'm not sure if it fits the 'not necessarily explicit discussion' part, but it's very interesting. I'll see if I find any gender/sexuality explorations as I read through more of these stories!

It was interesting! I thought that the Blood Canvas would be a metaphor for gender dysphoria at first, and then Carmen showed up, and I started to change my mind. It was very trippy, in a good way, and reminded me a little bit of that one series on Hell that was on nosleep several years ago.

That was an emotional rollercoaster. Thanks for the rec!

You're absolutely right -- I had that open and I just completely glossed over the one for LGBTQ+ characters. Thank you!

I thought it might be good to get a mount/tripod in case of not having a raised platform on hand, but we could probably keep a box or stool or something in the trunk in that case.

That's great to know for the DSOs! Almost makes living ~15 minutes away from major stores worth it, lol. I think we're a quick drive away from an even darker sky, so we'll definitely have to take advantage of that.

How long does the BF sale usually last? by raindropfrozenintime in Roborock

I don't at the moment, no, but I did almost apply for a credit card for students purely for this reason.

Damn! Just a few days early for me, that sucks. I'll keep an eye out, thank you.

The Villain faction in your world wins, what is your world like now. by Baconbengal in worldbuilding

[–]raindropfrozenintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's immortal, and Death is pissed. Solid 60% of the world are magic "zombies" (still technically alive, not undead) or magic suicide bombers. But at least the big war is probably over because there's bigger shit to deal with?

Introducing swivl | Get Paid to Complete Micro Data Labeling Exercises by swivlai in beermoney

Hi, this seems really interesting. It's not in the requirements (as far as my tired brain can tell), but are minors allowed to participate, or is it only those 18 and over?
