GUYS DO NOT GIVE YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO AN AI THIS IS A BAD IDEA ON EVERY LEVEL DON'T DO IT

original tweet from @jamesjyu reads: "We launch Shrink Ray today on Sudowrite! Upload your manuscript and get loglines, blurbs, synopsis, and full outlines automatically. Takes a ton of legwork out of book marketing. Below the tweet are two images of the program."

original quote tweet from @sudowrite reads: "New in Sudowrite: Upload your whole novel/script, get instant longlines (sic), blurbs, synopsis, and outline!"

tweet from @FantasyFaction reads: "Oh jeez! Bad bad, very bad! Writers DO NOT willingly give your manuscript to an AI so it can "learn" by stealing your work! I know blurbs and synopses are hard, but PLEASE do not do this! - JI 🐉

(stolen from ML Brennan & Sravani Hotha so I can include alt text)"

every time people talk about whats ‘canon’ or not its so obvious that little to none of mcyt fans have actually played/done roleplay on a minecraft server(or similar situation) themselves

Like girl the ‘timeline’ is whatever you want it to be for your character. Show up to whatever events you want. Maybe you play every day or maybe you log in once a month. Who gives a shit lol we are here to have fun.

and i very much think fans need to keep in mind this same mentality. Continuity is nice and good but also its whatever the roleplayers want their story to be. And no matter what continuity errors this could cause for the overall story I have genuine faith that these guys can Yes-And their way out of any situation. And for fans making fan content you can make the timeline whatever you want. The world is your oyster. Literally who gives a shit.

#unfortunately doing minecraft roleplay for hours every day in middle school formatively shaped who i am today #they really just dont make insanely popular public fantasy rp factions servers like they used to.. #qsmp #not intended to be neg just. #i think the fandom as a whole would have more fun if everything didnt have to be taken seriously 100% all the time always. #this is a very different media genre than a tv or book series. or even a dnd podcast

Curi•sity

Trying to capture some really abstract concepts here since my OCs are personifications of emotions/feelings and grief is a big part of Biddley's storyline! This was a fun exercise hehe

i still have to tighten everything up but i think i have a fun new setting for a dnd campaign :D it’ll be set in a big magical floating city that is situated in an overlap of a lot of different planes, and where portals to these planes naturally open up. Adventurers are hired to go into these portals and retrieve rare materials or artifacts for magical components and work either as freelance parties or work under companies. And of course there’s gonna be a lot of infighting of different company factions and black markets and sky pirates bc of course i want sky pirates. Also has the benefit of keeping one set location to focus on while still allowing me to send players to cool new locations!

#ramblings #its reeallllyyy fun for me now i just need to start fleshing out some factions and quest arcs #i like it too bc this feels like if i ever want a break someone else can hop in an dm for a bit? we can do a few wild arc and come back ya #lots of magic tech and high fantasy stuff but also a western feel? its pretty much a frontier town #i think after the first one or two arcs there might be an incident tm to make things more tense and up the stakes #or maybe well just keep on the little missions and see where that takes us #i am sending their asses to the shadowfell at least once. i loved bg3 act 2 too much to not #i just need a name for the city… something cool and snappy…

Another crossfaction idea: A Decepticon fantasizing about being captured by a group of Autobots and being treated as nothing more than a warm hole to fuck. Not even given the dignity of a captured enemy, just a cheap toy for stress relief

-v3nth

yessssss talk about a decepticon with unusual tastes... maybe he'd seen his comrades ravage an autobot or two and couldn't stop thinking about that happening to them... of course, 'cons are scumbags, aren't they? that's what they say, but what about autobots, with their shining, flashy plating and pretty blue eyes, why couldn't they take a decepticon prisoner only to toy with them? once a killer weapon of the decepticon army, now they're tied down and helpless, gagged so they can't even insult the autobot soldiers as they put their hands all over their body, fucking their valve until they're satisfied, carelessly filling them with transfluid and not even cleaning up afterwards... they're just a dirty 'con, seen as less than, not deserving of any dignity whatsoever, just a toy for autobots to take out their stress and anger on

#valveplug #faction play #dubcon #but only implied. this is the fantasy of a very kinky decepticon that might or might not come true. you dont know

XBC3 au pt.3!

Unrelated but I love Moenbryda

#i was thinking of lanz when designing moenbrydas look and it shows lmaooo #also! moen & uri were what inspired louisoix to form the Circle :) #since they were able to grow close despite being of opposing factions #and he begun to realize that hey maybe this war is bullshit actually #and he was right #oh and when it comes to the whole ryne thing #her relationship w thancred is (as mentioned in the actual post) similar to that in canon #with some of the extra awkwardness that taion & nimue had #(but sorta reversed bc the one reborn this time is the mentee instead of the mentor) #minfilia warde #ryne #ryne waters #moenbryda wilfsunnwyn #thancred waters #urianger augurelt #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #xenoblade chronicles #xenoblade chronicles 3 #xbc #xbc3 #art #my art #xanders art #xanders haunting art #digital art #fan art

[amemoryofwot]

Congratulations WoT reader you have correctly identified the separation of magic into woman who can wield it and men who are forbidden from doing so. Your next task is to identify which real world religious structure this reflects! (Hint; there’s over a billion members of this church!)

#what are Aes Sedai but fantasy genderswapped Catholics performing exorcisms and stamping out other factions #fun fact women still can’t hold priesthood in Catholicism 🙃 #sorry I get a little insane whenever someone calls WoT bio essentialist or w/e #me when the college of cardinals is choosing a new pope hmm little bioessentialist in here :/

[obessivedork]

I LOVE doing a "Was always planning on betraying The Brotherhood" Fallout 4 run, it's so funny. Like why yes I did take the collect technical documents quest specifically to hoard them away from TBoS, why yes mister "Elder" Sir I will definitely, totally, inform you when I find a way into the Institute. Lol. Thanks for the power armour and energy weapons, losers 🤪🤙

#But also RIP to Danse for like... accidentally recruiting this branch's downfall #Not your fault buddy Chuck would've found a way no matter what she's a vengful stubborn bitch like that (deeply affectionate) #It's not just about The Brotherhood- it's her getting her revenge fantasy against the Old World US Government #And she sees these guys and is like... oh yeah this faction WILL die. Hears about the Enclave from Mac & some rando from out West #And is SO glad they're dead and gone but also mad she didn't get to help take them out too #She has a chip on her shoulder lmfao #(And also a big fat crush on Danse but like. She knows she's taking his faction down so she's shelved that for now :( ) #(Is RELIEVED when he's revealed to be a synth and can't be part of TBoS anymore) #And I say that like I ever use power armour lmfao I NEVER do in any of the 3D games #I will give myself an addiction to every chem in game or toggle god mode before using power armour #fo4 #fallout #kat plays fo4

[tracing-rivers]

I'm obsessed with those sorting hat quizzes that have nothing to do with who you are as a person. Hogwarts house? IMDB personality? Divergent whatever? OK sure. But??? "Oh what is your Game of Thrones house?" ??? The one I'm born into??? What does this have to do with me

#this applies to any feudal faction (fantasy or and I can't believe I'm saying this historical) #''I'm a Tudor'' you're a fish farmer what are you on #see also Warrior Cats clans #none of these are personality based and there are worlds of discrepancy between each Stark and each Lannister

D&D World Building

The Continent is split between The Iron Oligarchy, Tribes of the God-Corpse Woods, and The League of Pact-Cities.

The Iron Oligarchy

A dwarven-giant industrial/trade conglomerate. Their territory covers the tallest mountain range in the Continent, Vulkan's Gift, as well as large swaths of the Underdark. Profits are split 50/50 between small and big kin, as the ancient contracts dictate (Which must never be violated lest ruin come to all who signed it). Big Kin are fire, stone, cloud and thunder giants, as well as their Goliath servants. Small kin are Hill, Mountain, and Deep Dwarves as well as Rock/Deep Gnomes. As their name implies, most iron goods sold across the Continent are produced in their forges. The Oligarchy use their wealth to maintain a professional army supported by mercenary auxiliaries. Standard oligarchy army formation consist of one or two giants hurling projectiles over slowly advancing shield-wall fighters commanded by war-priests of Vulkan. Mercenary Goblinoids and Drow provide much needed fast/stealth attack power. Experimental clockwork fighters and (slightly) more reliable Golems are kept in reserve for special occasions. These forces are necessary for the defense of the Oligarchy's forges, mines, and trade convoys against raiders as well as more disturbing threats. Soldiers who have earned many honors might be invited to serve at the Oligarchy's Planar Gate. These honored champions may go on expeditions to the elemental planes of fire and earth where rare materials can be extracted.

Tribes of the God-Corpse Woods

It is said that long ago a deity was killed in a particularly gruesome fashion, it's remains scattered across the Continent. From it's dismembered flesh a great and resilient forest grew up. Tribes of Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Forest Gnomes patrol this forest alongside Ents/Dryads, Lycanthropes, and Fey guardians. While the tribes can unite together against common enemies they are divided by beliefs regarding the future. The Singers of Spring believe that The Deity will be reborn from the earth and bring about a new evergreen age. These followers prosthelytize for the protection of the woods, the benefits of having a connection to nature, and the arts of druidic magic. The Zealots of Summer cite numerous blighted grounds within the forest where the undead rise as evidence that The Great One was undergoing some dark corruption and had to conflagrate itself before it was too late. These followers are militant slayers of evil but are willing to make sacrifices and compromises for the greater good. The Revelers of Fall believe that there is a Coming Pantheon of Gods waiting to be summoned if the right conditions are fulfilled. The Revelers search for mana infused places across The Continent where they perform experimental rituals ... which have been responsible for one demonic outbreak, two separate births of benevolent small gods, and an islet tainted by The Far Realm's influence. The Prophets of Winter believe that the God-Killer is still out there somewhere, sated for now but could be roused to destroy the world if someone does something REALLY foolish. The prophets give orders to assassins to ensure that the only one who knows how to awaken the God-Killer is the soul-scrap of the Nameless Dead God that the prophets secretly commune with. A single Tribe of the God-Woods can have many members of different races and beliefs, making the whole Tribe seem highly unpredictable to outsiders in both combat and diplomacy.

The League of Pact-Cities

This alliance consists of 5 diverse urban centers linked by magical infrastructure and political ties. Serendipity is the nominal capital of the League and home to a large population of Githzerai and Flumphs who draft works of arcane legislation. Kraken's Bane is a half-sunken port kept busy with sustainable fishing/trade (and an occasional monster hunt) that's inhabited by various oceanic races such as Tritons and Sea Elves. Drakkenhope is a holy city for Dragonborn and Kobolds, where priesthoods of Tiamat and Bahamut see to the needs of the masses as well as blessing delvers who search the Ever Shifting Catacombs for dragon eggs to return to the surface for hatching. Recurrent Wing is a flying city filled with Air Genasi, Aasimar, and Aaracrocka residents who work at yards where skyships are built and maintained. The city of Harvestville is (obviously) the bread basket of the Pact, home to Goliaths, Humans, Halflings, and Earth Genasi who work their supernaturally fertile crops year round. The Pact-Cities rely on four tiers of Security Teams to deal with threats of escalating proportions: Beast Control Teams are locals equipped and trained by the Pact to handle outbreaks of hostile creatures. Anti-Brigand Teams take down corrupt officials within city boundaries and criminals that retreat outside them. Combined Arms Teams are highly trained casters and warriors, deployed via magic anywhere deadly precision force is required. Finally, Massive Crisis Teams can fortify locations and prepare citizens quickly for the onset of military invasions or planar incursions. Teams are encouraged to recognize each other's authority, knowing when to step in and help, or step back and ask for help.
