Denethor leaps grotesquely into the air to catch the tomatoes and shove them into his mouth with both hands. Eomer only affirms your statement to get people to stop throwing tomatoes at Denethor.
"boromir taught eomer how to speak the common tongue" I say. I am booed off the stage. the crowd throws tomatoes. suddenly from somewhere in the audience, someone says, "he's right." it's eomer son of eomund, speaking in the same dialect and tone as boromir of gondor
It got me.
It got me good.
I have been had.

Characters having assumptions about the world that are fundamentally incorrect, but correct enough. Too often I see people create extremely elaborate magic systems, and then make all the characters automatically have a clear grasp on how the system works.
There is nothing wrong with intricate magic systems, I love them too! However, the secrecy and mystery of unknown magic shouldn't be limited to only the very rare and powerful, because here's the thing: We have no idea what gravity is. Gravity, the most common and observed *thing* in all of science. Is it a particle? A curve of space-time? A force?
Guess what? Curves and particles and forces are all made up by people. They are concepts that we use to try to understand how the world works. They are never fully accurate, but they are accurate enough for what we need them for. The universe is chaos, and we apply rules to it to simplify reality. Reality exists beyond these rules, though. It is a sphere of undefinable complexity.
Here's an example: Magic Missile, the most common and used spell of all evocations. Is it caused by a sudden rise in local portent? Or maybe it is an extension of the caster's arcane properties? A sigil?
Guess what? Sigils and poetent and incantation are all made up by wizards. They are concepts that magic wielders use to try to understand how magic works. They are never fully accurate, but they are accurate enough for what they need them for. Magic is chaos, and we apply rules to it to simplify spellcasting. Magic exists beyond these rules, though. It is a sphere of undefinable weird.
Tldr; Magic=Physics, Wizards=Scientists. Nothing is certain, and we exist only in the amorphous bubble of theory
What are some world-building ideas or tropes that you want to see more of? I enjoy world-building but want something new or exciting or out of the ordinary to help get the juices flowing again
"Ah yes, John Arcane. He must have a respectable career of doing Job at Place."
will never forget the person in a worldbuilding Discord whose setting had John Arcane be the "inventor of magic" JOHN ARCANE
INVENTOR OF MAGIC

Fucking food purist.
I got that toasted ciabatta grindset.
Anyone know what a ciabatta chicken sandwich is? It's like ciabatta bread, pesto, tomatoes, basil, and balsalmic glaze? And like, the bread is toasted. Oh, and theres mozzarella too. And you're just eating it, and it's just the most scrumptious thing, so you shove it into your face orifice with little to no regard for safety. And then the bread is super toasty, and you are taking big bites out of it, and it's really tasty, but the next thing you know it's over and the roof of your mouth is bleeding and raw from the sharp, toasty ciabatta bread?
Or is this an incredibly specific experience that no one relates to?
What if it's friday night?
They did. It's called Lord of the Rings.
Hope this helps!
my favorite part of the fellowship of the ring is when pippin throws a stone down a well in moria and gandalf tells him to kill himself. genuinely made me laugh out loud. gandalf where is your sense of hobbitish whimsy bro
Keeping this guide for later :D
Honorable mentions:
- A cliffside at sunset, after being dragged there by the aforementioned lover/best friend/homoerotic comrade.
- In an alleyway just outside the backdoor of a club.
- Underwater, so that all anyone sees is a developing cloud of red that announces your demise.
- A bed with white sheets.
top 3 places to bleed out:
1. the snow
2. your lover/best friend/homoerotic comrade’s arms
3. bathroom floor
