Nonas, I would like some help! (Poll for a creative project of mine) Anonymous 326038[Reply]

I’m creating a low fantasy, shonen-esque story about Knights who use alchemy to enhance their combat abilities, using potions to enhance their strengths, giving themselves abilities aligned with their specific combat doctrine, rituals, and the like.

It has a predominantly female cast, and involves themes such as companionship, motherhood, and tradition.

The main character is a Knight with the specific doctrine of “Rust,” the Rust Knight. Her role, as per her combat doctrine, is to enforce the laws of Knighthood upon other Knights, as well as executing Knights who have gone heretic. Her main ability is producing an acid that can specifically corrode metal, through sweat, blood, and acid ducts.

However, she has an enemy, that defies what was previously known about Knighthood. Because she hails from another land (loosely inspired by the Aztec Empire and other such Mesoamerican influences), they have a wildly different anagram for Knights in their culture, animal-themed warriors who are mutated specifically to further embody their chosen animal through magics(true magic being almost unheard of in the Knight’s country) employed by their specialized priest caste, and fielded into larger squads, rather than the more individualistic approach Knights hold (every Knight has an inherited doctrine, like “Lavender” or “Raven” and may pass it down to a squire of theirs).

———————————————

That is where you guys come in, if you would like! Vote in the thread below on which doctrine I should choose for my Mesoamerican rival Knight!

- Option 1: Bat (has leathery wings, heightened senses, and uses blood magic)
- Option 2: Scorpion (has a scorpion tail with paralytic venom, heightened strength and durability, toying around with giving her mind control powers)
- Option 3: An idea of your own, name it in the thread and see if it gains traction! I would love to see what you guys come up with!
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Why does it feel like I have better cognition drunk than sober, especially when listening to men's interests? It's like I can actually pay attention, it's weird.

It's never a bad time to expand your vocabulary. Share with us new words as you learn them.
My most recent word is "freshet".

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Riverine and forestine, both adjectives for river and forest respectively incase it wasn't obvious

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

Anonymous 325777

But you know what is a textbook theory?
"Fabula and syuzhet". Per wikipedia:
>In narratology, fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events within the world of a narrative and syuzhet equates to the sequence of events as they are presented to the reader. Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky originated the terminology as part of the Russian Formalism movement in the early 20th century. Narratologists have described fabula as "the raw material of a story", and syuzhet as "the way a story is organized.
The see-also section gave me another new word, "lisible".
>Lisible is a word from the French for 'legible' used to denote a text that requires no true participation from its audience. It was coined by the French literary critic Roland Barthes in his book S/Z and expanded from his essay "The Death of the Author". Barthes contrasts texte lisible, denoting a closed work, with texte scriptible, a text open to interpretation. In Barthes's opinion, lisible works provide no challenge to the reader's preconceived notions and thus are inferior to scriptible works, exemplified by modernist literature. Barthes contends that lisible works still emphasize the importance of the author, whereas for scriptible texts "the reader is the very space in which are inscribed, without any being lost, all the citations a writing consists of; the unity of a text is not in its origin, it is in its destination

Alright, I found a gardening thread on /diy/. Some of these people use electronics for their potted plants, which I find interesting!
I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.

Do you have a mind's eye? Anonymous 325781[Reply]

ever since i first learnt about aphantasia vs hyperphantasia, i've been really curious about it
i've wanted to pry further into all the various ways in which people experience their inner-worlds; how their senses feel, how these differences affect loving, learning, sleeping, etc. it's not a topic that was brought up to me within a real interaction, nor was it something i questioned on my own, and it makes me think about just how many other idiosyncrasies have the potential to be hugely impactful, but often overlooked or under noticed. the unspoken gaps between human personalities. my family & friends haven't been that interested in discussing it in detail, probably because i'm not pushy enough (or it's boring), so i'm dropping these questions here out of curiosity

>do you see images in your head? pictures, smells, sounds? can you manipulate the imagery, conjure things at will, distract yourself? is it subtle, or a strong landscape of colours and forms?

>do you literally see shapes when you close your eyes, as if they're there but still not really, or is it simply black behind the eyelids, but your mind remains envisioning things?
>if you don't see images (aphantasia), do you still dream?
>can you re-experience memories in high detail, almost as if you're reliving the moment?
>do you see things when you read?
>do you have one or two senses, but not others? fe you can hear things, but not see or touch?
>do you have an internal monologue? constantly, infrequently? or do you have to force it? is it audible, or just vaguely there
>have you heard of this topic before, or questioned it on your own?
>if you have hyperphantasia, do you like it?

This image is an entirely inaccurate description of how it feels to visualise images, especially for the literal-minded (such as those with a certain disorder common on imageboards). Also, it seems like a great way to totally mislead aphantasiacs about the experience of mental imaging and lead them to believe that others literally create hallucinations lucid-dream style.
I don't necessarily blame the artist for this just because it is a difficult thing by nature to translate into a real image, but I don't think this is the only possible way either.
If you interpret the scale as metaphorical, then I am something like a 2. Decent but not, like, eidetic, which is what I guess 1 is supposed to represent.

The minds eye specifically is real. But this specific op image sparked a bunch of bro science retarded hierarchy shit just like the npc inner dialogue meme.
Which is to say when I close my eyes I do see up to 5 with minds eye but up to 2 with my literal eyes.

Can you imagine spending so much time out of your life stressing over weight? What a sad existence

Anonymous 325758

once, it was harder to gain weight, so it was seen as desirable. now, it's easier to gain weight because intensive workout routines require time, a good diet which can be expensive, and the right circumstances overall with work + other life commitments. nit-picking your body to achieve all of the listed things is a much more accessible fixation for women with money, intensified by access to a surgeon and liposuction. so, it's rarer. it becomes in fashion, because having a good enough situation to workout and eat well is a sign of wealth. the rich like to do anything that makes them distinct from the poor. that's why "homely" women, lower class, are depicted as fatter and less refined in film stereotypes, more sunken in. wider, larger tits. excessive, like they have no finetuning or self control. curvy women are associated with being bangmaids too.
it's a general lack of proper appreciation for the real female form basically. people want "better" versions, not real life
