monarchy has no real purpose and should be abolished irl but im a slut for royal families in fiction. the politics. the intrigue. families divided by the eyes of a nation. the pressure of children told from birth that they are born to rule, born for only one purpose. the stifling of empathy and real bonds and love. the loneliness when all eyes are on you. it’s so inherently tragic and yet everyone involved is terrible because that’s all they can be. gimme.
a sequence of Events. not crosby. not mcdavid. just one nhl player with no “reputation” and everything to lose.
Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit
I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.
"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."
Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.
The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."
Elf Fentanyl works exactly the way cops think human fentanyl does

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more
for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:
and here it is afterwards:
I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.
Another before and after example:
This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).
yeah…
I always see tags and captions for .GIFs with worlds like “edit” and “my edit” and wondered what edits were even done. Now I know!

It's just another entry in the long line of crummy reality shows American networks have churned out this season because of the WGA/SAG strikes
Because Vampires can only sleep in sacred earth that has later been rendered unhallowed in some way - that is, specifically desecrated earth - the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII Tudor and the concomitant iconoclasm and destruction of the Abbeys left England uniquely vulnerable to vampiric expansion due to a glut of ruined holy sites. In this essay I will
Honestly, the court of Henry VIII would be a super interesting setting for a Vampire the Masquerade game. There's so much political drama, all tied up with messy personal drama and bloody espionage. With at least five "turning point" moments to choose from, you can make a nasty plot or simply decide that various courtiers and conspirators are vampires!
I think making all the player vampires be nobles with their own factions and interests would be a little too complicated - to avoid splitting the group too much, they could be retainers of some well-known historical figure! A coterie serving the ambitious secretary Sir Thomas Wriothesley could find plenty of exciting things to do in between the stately dances and night hunts. Wriothesley might be a Ventrue of some renown, or perhaps a mortal who has pierced the veil of the Masquerade? Someone who collects vampire agents like he collects aristocratic friends might use blackmail and the threat of burning at the stake to keep them in line...

Dwarf: what the heck is lightning?
Elf: enormous bolts of electricity from the sky that sometimes kill people or set forests on fire
Dwarf: ....
Elf: after they happen the sky roars at you
Dwarf: you're not selling me on this whole "living above ground" thing
Elf: ooh, let me tell you about tornadoes
The first time I saw this post, I read "tornadoes" as "tomatoes", and thought how nice this Elf must be to bring up some positive sides of living above ground.
Dwarves... would like tomatoes, ok? A relative of the nightshade family that can be made into tasty sauce and stew! Anyway, back to the lightning.
Idea: Dwarven weathersmiths forge custom storms and cloud formations in their lofty halls. It involves a lot of magic and a little bit of mechanical knowhow, with vast doors in mountain peaks that open to siphon up or release clouds. The leader of each station is usually some type of alchemist in addition to being a mage, as they keep the secret blends of reagents to brew a blizzard or cure a jet stream of its sluggishness. But there are plenty of dwarves working on other projects, from pumping the great bellows to regulating temperature with furnaces. There's even a few odd types who don't fear heights or the sun, and can pilot a hot air balloon to scout the surrounding area.
A weather forge could become an awesome dungeon if something goes wrong! Or, just a cool place to visit when you need help with a quest or the knowledge of a sage.

Discussing the whole "always evil species" thing I'm genuinely annoyed by how much more sense D&D lore makes if elves turn good when they're above ground and evil when they're below ground.
Your elf buddy goes down to get something from the basement and immediately starts cackling and kicking your stuff. "Dammit Bob!" you say, trying to get him up the stairs so he turns good again.
Anyway my personal headcanon after the discussion is that, as elves are beings of nature, each subspecies governs a different aspect of nature. Wood Elves are tasked with protecting the beautiful parts of nature, the flowers and the deer, while the Drow are charged with protecting the repellent parts, the scavengers and the vermin. They're not evil- cockroaches are just as important to the ecosystem as butterflies, and the majestic lion is far more dangerous then any venomous scuttling thing. But alas, it's easy to assume about the figure who speaks for the spiders and the mould.
High Elves, for their part, are tasked with guiding domesticated nature, protecting nature as it intertwines with civilization, which is why they live in cities and work to interact with the other species.
I like the tonal dissonance between my two posts here. Follow me for the ol' shitpost/worldbuilding one-two.
