if i own the tube colony im 100% having a tube that runs through the cityscape, and either its built towards the top or there is a mandate that nothing can be built above it
#Art and Writing
viscid bobcat
you'd have to make the colony way bigger than you otherwise would in order for the tube to not cause serious motion sickness to anyone who goes in the tube
rotational gravity stuff needs the tube to be above a certain size because if its too small then the gravity at your head would be significantly less than the gravity at your feet, which would make you sick and possibly cause heart problems
so you'd need the tube to have a really large radius in order to avoid that
like it would need to be as thick as the length of a city block or something
and in order to contain that you'd probably also need to increase the radius of the entire colony
you'd probably also need pillars to hold up the tube so that it doesn't fall apart and collapse onto the actual colony
deep hatch
i think the easiest answer is to just have the colony vertical instead of horizontal and have it in the middle
viscid bobcat
that would do weird stuff to the lighting probably
deep hatch
its space i dont gotta explain shit
viscid bobcat
i assume the point of it being horizontal is so that there's always a window directly above each part of the colony
if it's all rings then the sky would be the ground
warm vale
NGL it's gonna be real sadge if I can't give them a tower in the colony
Cause of gravity at the top floors of the tower being lesser than the gravity at the base
Even if the base is on the inner wall and goes across the diameter

Speaking of subtlety. What's the best way to reference a specific song a character is singing but avoiding just using lyrics as non-dialogue text.

I did that actually with Heritage
Cause I've realised Heritage's main group with Lexi was kinda set up like the power rangers
You got the main five. Lexi, Alex, Kayla, Daniel and Joel.
And then the two extras. Blair and Cordelia
And I had so little for Joel to actually do I just fucking erased him from existence
Moved Kayla into the "mother of the group" role
And folded Cordie and Blair into the five
golden summit
warm vale
And it worked out well
Because Cordelia is woman in armour.
And so I made her cracked out of her mind
golden summit
Yeah. Sometimes, erasing things you like winds up with results you like even more
warm vale
Like she was putting hands on people she had no right to be boxing up.
golden summit
I had to erase an entire fight with a giant golem made of 100 corpses, because its implications were inconsistent with established lore. Replaced it with a bit of character heart to heart and drawing more parallels between two different characters.
warm vale
I then realised I also did it AGAIN with the secondary group. One of them did not speak the entire time she’s in a chapter.
So I made her deaf and know does sign language stuff with one of the group so they have a nice bond
And it worked out. Cause as well as those two having a thing.
Writing a chapter solely from her PoV where she's feeling the vibrations to know what's about to come round the corner at her is actually kinda fun.
golden summit
Hell yeah
warm vale
Yeah Heritage 2 has a buncha odd stuff in it
Including an absolutely generational crash out from Blake

I've realised something else. I'm no longer able to name the 10th chapter "The Tenth World" when the full scale of the big bads base is revealed

I'm gonna put Centur-ion on the "I see it, but not as overt"
Same for Sky Striker's Raye & Roze
It's more your typical "very close" type relationship that makes for easy ship bait
Whereas
- Labrynth has a strong love theme, we know she REALLY likes her rival (the unnamed female knight) - also the Labrys is literally a lesbian symbol since the 70's
- Mayakashi & Shiranui, the official lore description uses their meeting in a way where you can read the two hanging out as a romantic date based on how the Japanese language works
- Exosister... their symbol is the lily...The lily in Japanese is Yuri. Which is where we got the word yuri from. The lily is literally slang for sapphic.

Centurion is just women and their energy partner. Like it's on the same level as Clavkiys and his gun.
Raye/Roze are just enemies. Maybe sisters going pre manga. And if you go manga LORE, Roze is Raye's clone.
In contrast, Mayakashi Shiranui is super overt, because maybe for the Bakemonogatari "Gently walk her home" types.
Exosister, you could pretend is about actually sisters/sorority stuff 
but it's clearly referencing a soeur system that is a staple of the genre, esp. Maria sama ga miteru.

Depends on execution
If you are confident in your ability to write interesting fights specifically, and if the story is already fight focused, it could work
You could also do a subversive tournament arc where the tournament is merely the backdrop to some other things going on, and the fights are barely focused on at all.
A tournament arc doesn't fit in every piece. It works in, say, dragon ball because the focus is combat and power comparisons.

To the southeast of China lies the sunny country of warriors, Labanan — a land of passion, honesty, and hospitality. It is a wild, playful dog unaware of the tick that hides within its fur.
In the Labanese capital of Balai, along a stony bayside walkway dotted with palms and coconut trees, stood a tall but otherwise inconspicuous mansion that towered over the walkway's restaurants, business centers, and hotels.
The building's penthouse, shrouded in shadow, provided a widespread overhead view of the rest of the capital. A figure, barely discernible in the darkness, stood with arms folded behind their back.
"Soon, the tournament shall open." It uttered in a deep, distorted drone.
It stretched out one hand into the fierce, bright sunlight, revealing an arm covered in metal, wiring, and circuitry. The fingers clenched into a fist with a scraping, creaking sound, and the hand withdrew, returning to the shadows.
"And with it," the mechanical thing continued, slowly releasing its clenched fist, "my revenge on my creators. *I* will have the last laugh." It raised its head to look out over the city.
A pair of eyes, each a different shape and color, glowed in the darkness - a yellow, empty, shield-shaped eye and a dark red, triangular eye with a snake-like slit for a pupil.
"Pitiful, hateful, evil humans!" Its voice rose in octaves. "Perish, for the hour of your destruction is at hand!"
As manic, warped laughter filled the building's rooftop, only the calls of gulls answered this unheard prophecy of doom.```The first 3 rounds are basically just elimination games. And I'm using them mostly to let side characters spread their wings a bit

Cast rotation like MtG
All surviving old cast members die of old age by the time a new chapter begins. Each chapter being at least 1,000 years after the last one does that.

Sort of, yeah
It's a trillogy of seemingly unrelated long stories with a single overarching plot
Each part is its own thing, with its own unique personality. One's standard grimdark fantasy, one's even darker bloodborne/lovecraft style, and one is a dark comedy space opera on acid and magic mushrooms

What kind of setting is it, and what context do these powers have?
So, to super briefly explain. It is a superhero setting, though most powers are magical in nature (blessings/curses, bloodlines, specifici items, etc.) though some are tech based.
The current setting at the least for the first arc, has 5.5 heroes (the .5 is for someone who doesn't fight, and plays more of a mentor role so I'm not developing his powers yet)
I have powers for the main duo (who have basic powers and an elemental affinity of light and dark)
As for the other 3
I've got another duo, who are slightly older and more experienced than the main duo. One of these I've got developed, but I need a good complimenting ability for his partner.
And for the final hero, he's the only current public (since the .5 isn't known) solo hero in the fictional city.
Hero 1: She and another hero, Spotlight are a duo in their early 20's who've been heroes for at the least 6 years
Spotlight and her have obtained their powers from the same source (still need to figure out what that is), but it's likely magical in nature again.
To give a super brief description of Spotlight's Powers. He can mark one of two symbols on an object or person. He can make things with symbol A repel from each other, while symbol B attracts. Originally he could only attract things/people towards him (aka pulling them into the spotlight), which he'd use for like say - pull an attack towards him, pull an enemy towards him and perform a clothesline, or pull a friend out of danger.
I'm thinking her ability would be something that benefits from him being able to pull things towards himself specifically, but there's more creative uses of how the two interact with their powers outside of that. I'm thinking either her ability places some kind of area of effect somewhere (like a static aura that lingers on a location) or is a highly up close melee ability.
As for Hero 2:
Hero 2 is the youngest of the hero characters, a 15 y/o closeted transmasc latino. (Only the older mentor hero knows about him being trans tho. He technically prefers he/they, but their hero persona goes he/him - while his civilian identity is still pretending to be a girl)
Because of how I'm doing the story, I want to avoid abilities that are considered too gendered, (certain powers just are more associated with men or women unfortunately)
What I do know is that because he's trying his hardest to "prove" himself, I know that whatever ability I do give him, I want him to have something with a clear but not too obvious defensive utility that can be used for protecting people, but he only ever uses its full offensive capability.
As for how he got his powers, it's via an old family heirloom, so him being latino (still haven't figured out what country exactly, but leaning mexican) means I could take inspiration from something out of his culture
golden summit
Buzzsaw energy shields
I have a character in the exact opposite situation: has phenomenal offensive utility in her ability, but refuses to use it for anything but pure defense.
Her shields can cut through enemies like butter, but she adamantly refuses to draw blood for cultural/religious reasons and freaks out if she ever does.
fiery jungle
golden summit
As for hero 1, you can have her either be a berserker who gains power the more those she cares about get hurt, or have her be able to manipulate/empower someone
Like, she could cause the focal point of her power to radiate intense heat/electricity/spikes
She could puppet a willing subject to do impossible maneuvers and break the human limits
Could also be a really slow but devastating melee attack
Also, a name like "Showtime" works for a hero if she gained her ability at the same time as Spotlight

And also doesn't look like just a blur of yellow everywhere when they fight

How I solved a problem involving her and how little I had of her talking
I'd realised in the entirity of the first book she didn't speak once
And to amend this I just her deaf and sign instead. And it strangely worked out
Because now she and Blake are besties because at least one had to speak sign to understand her
However it also worsened the look of their group as where I dump the diversity characters
Because their group now has disability, gays, an enbie and two of the only 3 non-white characters (AFAIR)

nocturne karma
I've been in the planning stages of a comic for a couple of years now, I'll have to get back to drawing before it can go any further but I'm pretty much done with everything in the story
nocturne karma
the basic premise is a Victorian-era teenage blacksmith apprentice is sent to Japan at the tail end of the Meiji Restoration to seal all 72 demons (could be less, depends on how much I wanna cut down the length of the comic) of the Ars Goetia that have been unleashed by a corrupted manifestation of the Gnostic interpretation of Solomon, son of David and former King of Israel
a lot of the comedy stems from the fact that the protagonist was studying how to be a demon hunter under a veteran at a college in England who is also filthy rich so he was able to import Japanese literature
so the protagonist is a weeb or japanophile who is obsessed with this culture and when he finally touches down on the place he's read so much about it's during the literal Westernization period and it's completely unrecognizable from his expectations
he also has his own suit of armor made to look like (his expectation) of a samurai as an alter ego but it's a Cardcaptor Sakura deal where he has to manually put it on because it's an entire suit of armor
clever pecan
You could research Japonisme then
The craze about everything japanese around the end of the victorian era
The Mikado for example is a play that leans into that a little
Of course, thats assuming you want to be accurate to the era
nocturne karma
as accurate as I can be
clever pecan
Yeah then thats worth checking out
Actually, hold on
Yeah lines up
There genuinely was a craze like that around the time, so you can look into inspiration there
nocturne karma
I'm also basing the protagonist's armor design on the old kamishibai character Golden Bat because the time period can line up and it'd be funny to think that he was walking around doing hero things and some random guy was like "a Golden Bat? I'm liking the sound of that..."
but yeah I'll look into it

So I'm making the setting for a story. This is it so far...
Meto'o Muge was the first king and founder of the kingdom of Muge. The Meto'o Muge Academy for Nobles was named in his memory.
The Muge dynasty is still highly respected to the present day by the common folk, and at least one of its members is always either on the throne or in the noble class.
The Muge dynasty was succeeded by the Adams dynasty, named after Prince Adam Muge, ancestor of current king Jacob Adams and current crown prince Abel Adams.
The Yakujou family hail from Tomaya-no-moto, a kingdom to the east of Muge. Due to the valiance displayed by a Yakujou in a Muge war, the Yakujou family was conferred ducal status. Their current family head is Yakujou Leighton, a key player in Muge politics, and the heiress to his station is his daughter, Yakujou Claire, the fiance of the crown prince.
Most people in Muge can use magic. However, the talent for its usage varies, with some being able to wield their magic proficiently, but others struggling to use it even briefly. There are two forms of disorders associated with magic - an inability to draw out magic, and an inability to control it - in short, a sort of magical incontinence.```
