I’ve said this before but I think all sci-fi and fantasy adventure needs a little bit of horror as seasoning. It doesn’t need to be full sci-fi horror or fantasy horror but a little bit of scary adds flavor. Build a world and then explore the fucked up implications of that world a little bit

It IS true and IS correct that Reddit is the last large bastion of the internet where you can go to seek the opinion of hobby-experts and get real information and real advice that has not been astroturfed through an SEO-manipulating AI-generated terminally-cancerous corporate-sponsored advertisement-hocking wretch.

But this approach is still flawed owing to the fact that every Redditor is terminally afflicted with Funniest Guy In The Room syndrome and the top-voted answer on an earnest "can anyone identify this?" post might just be "your mom" or "poop knife" or whatever's in Reddit circlejerk zeitgeist vogue at the moment so really. An imperfect system.

I have an ice-cold take to share but I'm trusting you all with my vulnerability

Obviously Taylor Swift's private jet carbon footprint is a fucking problem but also I think if she did the alternative and flew on commercial airplanes to get to her concerts then someone would absolutely bite her.

I think she'd safely get through about 5 flights but on the sixth there will be some Swiftie who spots her and enters a complete hyperventilation fugue state that manifests with something similar to cute-aggression but it would manifest in the form of biting Taylor Swift as much as possible. I don't think she would leave unscathed.

Like politicians already travel privately to avoid assassination and it's just that I believe the number of political assassins out there pales in comparison to the number of 23-year-old white sorority girls who are one Taylor-Swift-spotting away from putting their invisalign into practice.

what people who didn't grow up by the sea don't realise is that death at sea isn't a threat it's a part of life that you have to and will come to terms with. you can play it as safe as you like but at the end of the day if you choose to stay close to the coast you are entering a contract with the sea that she can demand you honour the terms of at any time. there's a reason so many old gods and eldritch horrors are ocean based. that's literally just what it's like. "i never thought the primordial forces of nature would eat MY face" skill issue.
