Some people get annoyed when a piece of zombie media doesn't use the term 'zombie', but honestly, it shouldn't be that hard to imagine a situation where actually using it would make less sense.

One example is the 1994 film Cemetery Man.

In it a grave keeper called Francesco Dellamorte has to deal with the fact that seven days after being buried in the graveyard where he works, some corpses reanimate and need to be killed again.

Thing is, they're never actually called zombies in the film. They're called returners. While this might seem strange, the film takes place in 1954, and George A. Romero's Night Of The Living Dead wouldn't be released until 1968. And since Francesco isn't a Haitian voodoo priest, it only makes sense that he wouldn't know the term 'zombie', since the first of the films that put the word into public awareness wouldn't come out for fourteen years within the world of Cemetery Man.

Hell, because the film itself was made in 1994 when the internet was only just becoming publicly used, it's not impossible that the film's maker - Rubert Everett - didn't know the term zombie himself.

Even if he had watched any of Romero's films, I'm not sure the term is ever actually used in any of them. I know for a fact it wasn't used in Night Of The Living Dead.

my daily affirmation as an author

[wiltedbatplant]

Everyone wants to fuck my durge I just got the emperor cutscene followed by mizora and now halsin my durge cannot be that alluring im gonna cry

[bentarb-jade-bronze]

With Mizora, I think she just wants to mess with Wyll, and knows that getting into the player character's pants will really get to him.

[bentarb-jade-bronze]

Can someone tell me how to prevent Halsin from propositioning my character in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3? I find it annoying that he interprets my character helping him with The Shadow Curse and being polite as the kindness of a lover.

This zine, and I cannot over emphasize how funny this is, is for Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire

[getvalentined]

These people blocked me on both Twitter and Tumblr, and then someone used a burner account to go off on me on Twitter. This person insisted that I was singlehandedly responsible for the project falling.

I made one comment, and it was this:

No clue how my single comment did this. But okay.

So in star wars canon sith have red lightsabers because they bleed the kyber crystals or whatever, and while thats all super cool and edgy and shit, I have my own headcanon thats far simpler and makes way more sense to me.

Simply put, pure kyber crystals are red, so when they grow the crystal in a lab it comes out red. Natural kyber however is filled with impurities that change its color to blue or green or whatnot.

I feel like this makes more sense because of a few reasons. First of all I feel like the sith would much prefer to grow their own kyber crystal rather than go out to a jedi controlled planet and steal one, if only for self sufficiency purposes, but also because lab grown crystals are absolutely perfect and pure in ways that naturally grown ones can never match and the sith would be all over that.

Meanwhile the jedi would value where the crystal came from and the journey to get the crystal more than the perfection of the crystal itself because of spiritual reasons, so they get the fancy colors.

Hell it would even explain why the jedi almost only get green and blue lightsabers, its because the kyber mines they use are filled with lots of whatever mineral makes kyber change to those colors.

[raven-of-domain-kwaad]

Yeah the edgy "bleeding" thing has always irked me when I first learned of that canon change. Growing your own crystal always felt more Sith-y because it would give them complete control over the entire process and development of their crystal. Imposing order on the chaos of the galaxy kind of thing.

[bentarb-jade-bronze]

Another thing with bleeding kyber crystals is that when it was first introduced, it was shown to be something that you needed to focus on. You needed to actively pour your rage and hatred into it, you needed intent to do it.

Then The Acolyte came along and it happens by complete accident, because the character was feeling angry. She was clearly shocked and didn't intend for it to happen, but oh well, guess that lightsaber's red now.

On my current Dark Urge run of Baldur's Gate 3, I'm presently in Act 2, having done all the sidequests, and now just have The Gauntlet Of Shar to go, and I've taken 22 Long Rests. That's 22 in-game nights. Does that seem like a reasonable amount of in-game time to have taken for the characters to get that far?

I'll admit that I had to do several Long Rests back-to-back without progressing, because I have a mod called Camp Events Overhaul. It makes it so that you don't need to go out of your way to get certain scenes in Act 1, but it also meant I needed to take more Long Rests than normal to get the confrontation scene between Shadowheart and Lae'zel.

In Japanese Media - or at least more raunchy Anime and Hentai - the bodies of female characters are sometimes described using three measurements. I figured they represent chest-waist-hips, but I don't know what units are used. Inches? And is it about the circumference? Can someone please explain?

[bentarb-jade-bronze]

FINALLY I have a date for the operation I've been waiting for! After 15 FUCKING YEARS, it's now scheduled for 21st July this year! Finally!

A Thought I Had While Playing Baldur's Gate 3

Playing fantasy games with magical healing, I keep thinking the same question: How much knowledge does the world have of medical science?

In a world where priests can heal wounds by waving their hands and saying some words, does anyone know how to correctly set broken bones in place? What about stitching? Or surgery?

When a disease can be cured by praying at a shrine or having someone cast a spell, is herbal medicine or antibiotics a thing? Do they understand germ theory, the need for hygiene, and covering your mouth when you sneeze?

If they have surgery, do surgeons understand the need to wash their hands, and wear face masks when operating? And blood-transfusions. Do the people in the world know about the concept? And if so, do they know about blood-types? Or do they think it's a pot-luck whether or not it'll work?

I'm likely in a minority when it comes to wondering about this, but I still feel like it's a fascinating part of fantasy world building that most authors and world builders don't think about.
