was reading up on silk and dagger. am i just not enlightened enough yet to understand that half of all good worldbuilding starts with the author getting really, really horny
It helps to understand that Silk & Dagger is very specifically parodying how dark elves are depicted in the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting which is a. essentially a romantic fantasy setting awkwardly pretending to be high fantasy because D&D players aren't ready for that conversation, and b. principally the brainchild of Ed Greenwood, a Canadian fantasy writer who has a decent shot at claiming the title of the horniest man alive. Like, this a parody whose source material is a fictional setting whose idea of challenging villainous queer-coding is having nations ruled by buxom middle-aged sorcerer-queens with interesting ideas about rehabilitative justice spanning the entire alignment grid. What Silk & Dagger is making text was just barely subtext to begin with, is what I mean to say.
Yeah Silk & Dagger is way less horny than a lot of OG Forgotten Realms lore regarding drow that it's riffing off, but it is a lot more up front about being sort of a sex-comedy.
We asked ourselves "What kind of conditions would produce a society and individuals actually like this?" and then "What would develop as a result?" And the answer is this.. sexy dominatrix libertarian nightmare world.
Yeah ever since I've heard that Ed Greenwood gave a lore dump about how breast milk tastes like for each race in the forgotten realms I definitely agree with the title of "horniest man alive" like wdym tiefling breast milk tastes spicy and like cinnamon rolls like wtf
What. Okay, no, I have a complaint.
Tieflings breast milk doesn't taste spicy and like cinnamon rolls. Like this ain't even me baulking at the idea that different forgotten realms kith get to have differently flavored breast milk. That's the premise: I can buy into near any premise long enough to write 200 words about how wrogn the execution of the idea is.
So, of all the core kith in the Forgotten realms, Tieflings are one of the most diverse, sporting 10 different variants (Elves have 14, Humans have a rather undeserved 11 (tho discounting variants outside the FO, they drop to 4 and 0 respectively), and tied with dragonborn).
And given the nature of the teifling variants is whole-ass who the origin of fiendish blood is, which conveys a difference betwixt variants large-enough to in my opin make them seporate kith by a standard definition, with Tiefling being an umbrella term for these different disperate Kiths designed by the writers to convey a shared political reality of unfair and prejudical treatment steming from the fiendish origin these people had no say in choosing and aren't in anyway affluenced by. SURELY, this is a group which would, lineage depending, sport more than one flavor of breast milk.
Like, I can buy Asmodael Teiflings have cinnimon flavor'd breast milk. That's whatever. But at the very, at the very least, Levistean teiflings' breast milk ought to have cool minty undertones and aftertastes like a shamrock shake.

Luigi Mangione has been locked up since December 2024, and he's been met with nothing but the violation of his rights every step of the way. Luigi's right to be treated humanely is constantly violated, as is his right to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Evidence is not being provided to his legal team, and he's being treated with prejudice by law enforcement.
Luigi is not a handsome face and a few jokes online. He is a real human being with real pain and real health issues. Luigi is a young man fighting for his life and the media is doing nothing but trying to sexualize him and make light of his situation.
Luigi has already lost so much to this, and although he remains resilient, it's important to remember that his circumstances can't possibly be good. It's also important to remember that if they can do it to Luigi, they can do it to more people, to your loved one, to you.
So please, keep talking about Luigi. Keep standing by Luigi. Keep supporting Luigi.
Never let Luigi Mangione walk alone.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

hello tumblr user. in front of you stands a confident and outspoken character. your challenge today & forever is to consider the possibility they may simply have self-confidence and are not just faking to secretly cover up massive insecurities. good luck
"the average fandom person cannot imagine a truly confident person" is a working theory I came up with years ago and every single day on this website my conclusion has proved more & more correct
coming out swinging a year later to say that everyone saying that they do this because "insecure characters have more inherent depth than confident ones" is experiencing what is known as a Skill Issue. get a grip and figure out that there's approximately one million forms of depth and conflict you can write a character experiencing other than generalized fanfictionized Insecurity
