The super villain shook with rage as they stared at the security footage. “He’s not even a real superhero with superpowers! He’s just some loser who’s really good at throwing knives at people without killing them!”
I can't be trusted with time travel because all I would want to do would be go back to hang out with Jane Austen and show her all the adaptations of her novels to find out which one she likes the best
“i’m a fearsome indestructible monster of lore whose one shocking weakness is fire” buddy everyone’s weakness is fire

This was fun and it didn't hurt too much ;)
Hey everyone! I’ve got this assignment for school, and for one of the parts I need to get some statistics.
It’s about character building, and if any writers seeing this could fill out this form, I would very much appreciate it. It shouldn’t take too long.
If you’re not a writer, please don’t fill this out.
And like with polls, please share for a bigger sample size.
Scifi film festival with actual aliens and alien moving pictures.
We were afraid that the constant portrayals of us stopping alien invasions would piss off the aliens we just made contact with. Turns out the aliens went through a similar phase when they were on our level and they are eager to compare their portrayals of alien invasions to ours.
I am already doing some world building based on this. It helped me think about and develop my other alien species to give humanity a defining trope. And once I picked space orcs/goblins I kept finding more and more reasons it fit. Like we are sitting on this planet in 200+ recognize tribes many many more unrecognized tribes always somebody's fighting somewhere and we're either looking for an opportunity to join in or trying to ignore it. Also the Dark Forest theory seriously only warring goblin tribes would be sitting around talking about what to do if they heard a sound that sounded like it came from another life form with the main options being wait quietly in the silence and then shooting it or call out excitedly and send it space emojis in the form of weird puzzle messages.
It turns out compared to the rest of the species in the galaxy, humans are short, explosive obsessed, breeds rapidly, and are vaguely disturbing to look at. Yes, human are in fact space goblins.

I hate "it's not trying to be accurate!" arguments for historical fiction or historically-inspired fantasy clothing choices that just. don't make sense logistically
why is that girl in Br*dgerton tightlacing her stays? what is she reducing- her upper ribcage? not only can you not tightlace in those (hand-bound eyelets can't usually take that strain, in my experience), but there's no reason to because your waistline is under your boobs. and unlike most of the series, they actually commit to the empire waistline for the court presentation gowns. small waists don't matter when NOBODY IS SEEING YOUR WAIST
why no chemise, in so many productions? fantasy/lack of concern for accuracy can't make things not chafe. chafing is not a matter of accuracy; it's a physical reality. did a wizard give everybody in the kingdom Anti-Chafing Spells?
just because you don't WANT a linen underlayer beneath a medieval tunic doesn't mean sweat won't get to outer garments and damage them- or make them need laundering, which weakens the fibers -at a time when all clothing is handmade, custom-fitted, and created from hand-woven fabrics and thus a HUGE investment
you're not just throwing accuracy to the winds as a design choice; you're ignoring How Textiles And Bodies And the Realities of Your Technology Level's Fabric and Laundering Capabilities Work
All intelligent aliens fall into one of two categories for humans: Adorable or Uncanny Valley Horror. This wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that humans are firmly in the Uncanny Valley Horror category for all other intelligent species.
