Questionable Questing

So what's the plan in terms of land and opportunities to build upward? You mentioned he's going to be focusing on rebuilding moat Cailin and turning it into a center for beautification and bimbofication potions, but what else? Can they research new potions? Will there be a focus on growing the ingredients as well as trying to entice potion makers and blacksmiths who specialize in alchemist tools to emigrate?

How far do you want to take the city building aspect? Is it purely economical? Will their be some more cultural stuff like for example managing the influx of foreigners and trying to balance that with the old Cragonmen and Northerners who already live there?

Trying to gather followers of the Old God. Maybe conquer the Far North and be King beyond the wall. Go to Essos.
Make a druidic magic academy in Moat Calin. All up to players.

I like ingredient farming. Personally I prefer social city building

Will you be able to build a canal? lol. I have no idea if you've heard that meme or not.

If you do ingredient farming, you could also introduce livestock as well. Magical creatures who's effects and products you can harvest, the readers have to explore and try to figure out. Or if you want some real dirty smut, have literal cow girls, woman who's breasts are so large they can barely walk and who's milk they produce is an important balancing agent for different potions.

Over on Alternate History hub, they have a section dedicated towards fanfiction for ASOIAF, where modern people are usually inserted in and introduce new technologies and ideas, and one of the early tropes for that was every self insert had to build a canal through Westros since it would have the potential to cut down trade time as much as the Panama canal.

Ahhhh

With none of the early self inserts being written, really understanding that digging thousands of miles of rocks through a swamp, teeming with diseases and terrain that is practically impossible to build on, the Cragonman in canon built giant rafts to hold their castles, is stupidly difficult and expensive with modern tools, let alone a fucking medieval society.

I fucking hate when voters try to modernize shit

So it became a meme to mock it, by saying a self insert will build a canal with everyone understanding they really mean the author is ignoring real life limitations when writing his story.

Which speaking of unrealistic modernizing fic's, I would love to see a deconstruction of the stereotypical modern man here to teach the savage native Westros technology and ethics, with instead a Stalin like figure who's going to industrialize Westros no matter how many bodies he has to bury since that's the best way in his mind to defeat the White Walkers.

That's a tad gruesome. Watching Invincible. Want to talk that or keep the energy going on demon planet?

I've been working on My Therapist today, but we haven't talked Invincible in a while either. I'm cool with both.

I've been rethinking my smut thoughts on it. On the one hand the violent power fantasy of a battle lust possessed bimboifying Mark, on the other treating it as a serious story with excessive smut spice

My problem is funny enough that same scenario. Like for example when I made My Therapist it was for the exact purpose of having an amoral character, shamelessly seduce all the students for her own little harem. Now look at it. Its a genuinely emotional and character driven story, starring a flawed yet caring protagonist.

It started out as an excuse for smut and now its super serious and emotional. :V I just can't help myself, smut with emotion feels boring to me.
