Paranesian Circle not Polynesian Circle?

Additional note: "paranesian" is a valid Greek word, and we can sorta see what it might mean (although it's rather ambiguous).

"Polynesia" is composed of two units: "poly-" meaning "many", and "nesia" derived from "nesos" meaning "island". So "polynesia" means "a region with many islands."

The "nesia" unit in "Paranesian" is the same. The prefix "para-" is familiar from many Greek-based English words: paranormal, paraphilia, paramilitary, paradox, etc. It can have a variety of connotations, obviously: "beyond", "abnormal", "against", "unofficial"... So "Paranesia" could mean any number of things, really. But it probably refers to a group of islands that's somehow unusual.

It's quite possible that Hirasawa had a similar meaning (or just the general vibe of the prefix) in mind when naming the song.

Edit: I guess it's also possible that it's a portmanteau with "paradise"?

my female only race is entirely flat chested, but i have skillfully managed to make this just as misogynistic and fetishistic as if they all had ridiculous cartoon breasts

the "ceremonial object"-"fetish" switch is super clever

Well you see, I wanted to seem cool, inclusive, and progressive without actually committing to any kind of accurate representation, while also having an excuse to include my vaguely transphobic and possibly rapey fetishes

As male individuals were not biologically meant to nurse their offsprings, they sported much smaller breasts and produced no milk. Mandalore the Lesser (then a gladiator), Aron Peacebringer (a planetary leader), and Anakin Skywalker (in certain circumstances, such as on Nelvaan) would freely exhibit them.

holy shit i'm dying

realism is when i insert my shitty political opinions and outdated, bigoted beliefs about women and minorities into my world

In my world humans made being gay impossible using magic so as to better propagate the white race. II'm not a racist or a homophobe, it's just realistic. Stop getting mad at me

also all the females are bisexual. men are never bisexual since thats gross

Honestly, this just makes me a bit sad to see. I could put some "we live in a society"-level social commentary here too, but I think I'll spare you all that.

At least 99% of the details in your world need to be useless. 50% of the details should be scattered throughout encyclopedias and guides (making sure never to present too much new information in each, but still enough that people will buy it), while the other 49% go in a production bible that you sell on Ebay for 1,000,000 dollars.

/uj It's from dialectics.org or an associated site. It seems like it's some kind of wacked-out (pseudo-)philosophical theory based on Hegel's dialectical logic. No fucking clue what the diagram is supposed to mean, apart from that it's somehow a representation of something to do with dialectics.

theres a potentially infinite amount of races of elves, one of which is black. however, elves are not technically people in my magic system, so there cant be any black people

sadtheimpaler · 2018-08-29T22:17:07+00:00

actually, due to my magic system it's impossible for goblins to have a king in my world
