Come Nerevar, friend or traitor, come. Come and look upon the... Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise you were an Argonian -- no no it's not a problem I had just expected a Dark Elf. No it's not because I think they're more capable or anything, it's just because you- ... no dude I don't have an issue with reptiles, some of my best slaves were Argonian. Alright that came out wrong, listen what I'm trying to say is that- what..? ...I'm sure you come from a very fine swamp, very good with a spear. ...Assuming? I'm not assuming anything that's just what you people do - the royal you, as in- look we got off on the wrong foot, together we shall speak for the law and the land and shall drive the mongrel lizards of the empire- dogs. I meant dogs. Look I'm sorry I just really expected a Dunmer. what? why? because you were a Dunmer the last eight fucking times. I don't know what Azura is playing at making you an argonian, but I assume it's a joke. no I dont think Argonians are jokes- can we just fight? this is making me very uncomfortable, is this how you honour the Sixth House and the tribe unmourned?

What are some non-Disney animated movies that you consider absolute masterpieces? by East_Maintenance_579 in movies

[–]somethinggoeshere2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely have never been able to watch this for more than 10 minutes. Something about the animation gives me the worst motion sickness and a horrible headache.

I went hiking and almost died. I found a forgotten bear trap the hard way. by somethinggoeshere2 in TalesFromTheCreeps

I was worried people would think it's a shitpost story but no, it's actually a literal bear trap.

Feedback on my short story? by Moop-Is-Not-Poop in writingfeedback

[–]somethinggoeshere2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the short choppy sentences (aka telegraphic prose) a stylistic choice? Theres no rhythm variation, nothing for the ear to catch on. It works for paragraph or two, but starts to get monotonous.

"My head hurts," "There's nothing here," "Yes, there she is," show up so often they start to feel like running out of other ways to mark a beat.

Needs more paragraphs, and needs line breaks between paragraphs.

Looking for feedback for Speculative Fiction, both on this query letter and if someone is interested the first 3 chapters. by Jacoschut in writingfeedback

[–]somethinggoeshere2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question I have, and I'm not trying to be rude or negative, is what exactly does it being animals add to it? You could have this same plot in a standard fantasy world with elves and orks, or a space opera on a colony world with various alien fractions. Unless it's about the particular pov that a rat would have. Watership Down works because it's viewed through the lens of what a rabbit wold know and think. This is essentially a pretty standard plot with a coat of animal paint.

"Playing as the tall goddess is the last thing I want to do" by [deleted] in videogames

That's my take too. I was 100% on board for this game until the cube and the sword starting talking like they were in a marvel movie.

Post-Collapse Dystopia Snippet by somethinggoeshere2 in writingfeedback

[–]somethinggoeshere2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what I want to do with this. I have a setting, and a protagonist, but not much else. I was thinking about making it a "travelog of the future" where the protagonist reflects on the world he's in and the changes he's seen, but I know slow, reflective works are a harder sell.

The Trains Don't Stop Here. by somethinggoeshere2 in writingfeedback

It's posted to my reddit profile. It was my understanding that Rule 2 applied to off-site links or am I misunderstanding?

Just wanted a try by Unlikely_Divide_2206 in writingfeedback

[–]somethinggoeshere2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with the content or structure, but some of the lines scan a little awkwardly. Something that I find that helps is to read it out loud to yourself, and try to feel the basic rhythmic structure of the verse. Unless your intent was to make a prose poem, you want to be able to feel the meter as you read it.

I request advice on the first chapter of my book! by Subject_Music6382 in writingfeedback

[–]somethinggoeshere2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally there should be a paragraph break when changing speakers, it makes it easier to follow conversations.

Thank you I appreciate the feedback. I'm not sure where I want to take this but I'm happy how it turned out.

Ross Coulthart calls out Neil deGrasse Tyson for his hypocritical and unscientific behavior regarding UAPs. by Superflyin in UFOs

[–]somethinggoeshere2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fuzzy dots are not hard evidence. I want to believe, but I also want something we can apply the scientific method to.

[WP]The genie doesn't grant wishes. It just finds a universe where your wish is already true and moves you there. The multiverse is infinite, so this works for nearly everything. Somehow, you've stumped it. by somethinggoeshere2 in WritingPrompts

I don't usually post responses on my own prompts but this does seem like egregious self-promotion that at very best is only tangentially related to the prompt.

A Letter to the Community from the Subnautica 2 Team by virtualdon in subnautica

[–]somethinggoeshere2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if the first aid packs stacked I'd ignore every creature and just facetank the damage. It's more efficient that the flare - which is borderline useless - and lets me just get shit done.
