yknow i kinda get that. on no level would i even dare compare myself to tolkien but genuinely it is so much easier to describe nature in detail than it is clothing. if i have to when writing something i freeze up

Since I have written my story where depending on who is the main character for the chapter, its written from their perspective (whether thatâs the contractionless vampire or the nonbinary mortal), I have just started describing people theyâd find attractive as, you know, attractive and mostly leaving person descriptions at that.

Congratulations on this!
When writing my Tolkien fanfic, I keep second-guessing myself. I keep trying to imagine how Tolkien would write any given scene if it was him writing it. Am I putting too much detail into this description? Too little? Is this faithful to Tolkien? And then Iâd inevitably eat myself for failing to live up to him, which is of course pointless and self-sabotaging. I know Iâm nowhere near his level of writing skill and knowledge of literature, but it shouldnât dissuade me from writing anyway.

Deployed on a âDestroy Command Bunkersâ mission with a Spear and completely carried the team.
I killed all three bunkers (two of which at range, with the Spear, one with a Walking Barrage) and solo destroyed four gunship fabs. 0 deaths.
The rest of the team did uhâŚa few bases? And a communications thingy? And they took up all the reinforcements. Donât know how they died so much.
Some days I play and think yeah, actually I am good at video games.
10 minutes tidying, 60 minutes of gaming as a reward. Perfectly balanced.

Its easy for me to say but itâs worth remembering two things!
One, Tolkien himself originally didnât even think his story was very good. He wrote primarily for himself. A point of minor conflict with him and C.S Lewis who was his friend was that he felt at one point that Lewis was way too quick to publish and try to sell his works. Where he himself didnât even considering publishing it until he got gently pressured to do a reading of his writing to another friend who tried to persuade him that it was actually good.
Secondly, and most importantly! The biggest thing is your own creativity and enjoyment! It matters what you think yourself

Itâs not all itâs cracked up to be.
Much as Iâm enjoying tww, Iâm getting increasingly irritated by the lack of spider themed gear. Forget the generic titan/dwarf stuff, I just want to be covered in chitin.

Void elf eyes confuse me. Originally they were very, very bright blue, to the point of almost being white. Then BfA did the eye update for elves and the VElf default became an almost light greenish-blue instead.
Which isnât typically associated with the Void - famously violet more often than not.
Yet now the Telogrus NPCs have eye colours in about as many variations as can be chosen in character creation. So do they just not have a âdefault canonâ eye colour anymore?

(the DS castlevania games were recently released on Steam - they are all excellent. Iâm a huge fan of Portrait of Ruin especially)
do they have a nâzoth eye customisation option yet and if not why not
alternatively: câthun eye stalks
alternatively alternatively: yogg-mouth eyes

cowards are afraid to give any void related elf some actual body horror. void elves should have eyes in their hair. nzoth eyes. gangled claws and tentacles for fingers. we do not because of COWARDS
sadly if there is even the remote chance that a woman might not be conventionally attractive then the entire server farm will burst into flames, the void elves just catch the worst of it because we have seen what void-infused draenei look like and itâs INCREDIBLE give me that void jaw

the goldshire coomers can speak for themselves. that abomination with half a venom-maw for a face and devil man crybaby breasts that would snap my arm off? wife material actually
We do also need more âvoid elves know things they Should Notâ moments
like youâre going about your day and suddenly your void elf companion says, âyou need to go see your wife, itâs timeâ and refuses to elaborate
