The Enigma of Amigara Fault
This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.
It’s about a 15-20 min read, but if you haven’t read this before, you’re in for a treat. Link above.

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character
Something I love doing is building the natural lore of my universes too. I love the idea of magic influencing evolution in some way. In a universe with natural magic, it makes sense it would, because of the inherent sway it must have on the environment. Evolution can be roughly described as “environmental pressures driving natural change over millions of years.” The rat that accidentally runs through some magical energy spewing out a ley line, and thus accidentally turns invisible, is going to survive longer than its fellow rats that cant turn invisible. Millions of years later, you have what is essentially a rat that turns invisible briefly when startled lol.
A predator may evolve true sight to counter that. Eventually over millions of years, you could see how a dragon possibly evolved true sight. With speculative magical evolution, the options are kind of endless, but this is how I headcanon you get inherently magical beasts like griffins, dragons, or unicorns.
I love this kind of werewolf anatomy.
Today in the shower, I was thinkin about werewolf anatomy and the pain/body horror that kinda transformation would actually entail 🤔 specifically the way a humanoid skull would have to stretch into a canine shape!! So I did a little study about it c:
