Dispersed through my recommended videos Saturday morning were clips of an X-Men Universe pairing that has left me both confused about this new development and curious about exploring the Uncanny X-Men comic archives, specifically, the Savage Land saga. The ...

Last time I started talking about religion as a great umbrella term for a lot of facets of worldbuilding you can take into consideration when constructing the world of your story, be it webcomic, novel, series, or anything else.
This type of worldbuilding is especially prevalent in fantasy worlds, but ...
Religion
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 23, 2023
No, no. I promise this is not a post that will go like this:
Nor like this:
Also nothing I say here, is to be religiously followed. (I got that out of my chest, cringing is allowed)

The Big and Small of Comedy
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 8, 2022

The Magic of Memory
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 1, 2022
There is a special power to the memory - especially to the memory of youth. Whether it's childhood, the teen years or maybe even young adulthood, it can have a powerful hold on us.

The Unholy Alliance

At the time, PaulEberhart mentioned the alliance between villains that happened at one point during Deep ...
