    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    Feel free to open one, I don't feel strongly enough about it at the moment to do a repeat of this one, I prefer not to start something if I know I can't be as thorough in my presentation as the topic deserves.

    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    They probably got there from Europe, but much farther back than the Native Americans got there over the Bering Strait. The Africa origin theory is more holes than paper at this point, and the Indus Valley theory is debunked by how much older Gobekli Tepe is than everything believed by...

    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    Why is it weird? A lot of heroes and gods were redheads in myths, and usually they were giants too. That obviously came from somewhere.

    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    The answer probably lies with Homo Sapiens + Neanderthal unions (most of which were likely unwilling, but who knows?). I recently came across a video that explained the genetic traits of Neanderthals, and they sound like super-dwarfs (super strong, super tough, etc.). This is reflected in the...

    Genetically, blue eyes are considered a mutation, as is red hair. And blond hair, for that matter (I think). Red hair and green eyes definitely. It's more likely the native Aryans were the Aesir, not Vanir. Or that they were the same ethnicity all along. Fun anecdote: the Muslims in Iberia...

    DC Animated Universe: The RPG (Skyrim!Gamer SI/DCAU Crossover - Haremfic)

    I completely disagree. It was already mentioned that he was relieved his family wasn't killed while Superman served Darkseid. He hardly needs this lesson. It's a silly lesson anyway, he's lived for how long? He knows this isn't a cartoon.

    This isn't how it was like originally though. Initially, there was the number two: heaven/earth, world/underworld, brother/twin (the two gods), sacrifice/sacrificer, day/night, warm/cold, summer/winter (they didn't have spring/fall as separate things, probably because mediterranean/tundra...

    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    I'm not going to give Kirkbride quite this much credit. God wars are a standard part of myths and fantasy, he could've gotten the idea from anywhere. Also, a lot of this stuff either hadn't been discovered when the ES lore was codified, or was restricted to a few old, generally unknown books...

    Norse Mythology Reference Thread - The Whitest Has His Eye on You

    The reconstruction of old prehistory is an ongoing thing, and I'm not as thoroughly versed in it so I might be getting some things wrong, but I'll try to formulate a coherent theory. This actually doesn't seem to be the case. The original gods of the Old Europeans seem to have been a pair of...

    That's about all anyone knows about him. A Jotunn through and through (God of War Ragnarok pretty much flipped the narrative and moral roles of everyone in the myths). If we go with the myths being allegory, Surtr is probably the natural disaster envisioned as the cause behind the next mass...

    With A Bared Sword

    But Comstar are the ones who did it, right?

    Man, that was a long time ago, but I do consider it some of my less middling work.

    You can ask him, but only if you really want to for yourself, not if it's purely on my account. At this point I think I got enough of what I needed, from you and the WH thread.

    Thanks, it's alright. I'll look into things more before I bother him, but if I can't figure out...

    Thanks, it's alright. I'll look into things more before I bother him, but if I can't figure out something, I'll tag him somewhere. Maybe I'll ask in the WH Ideas thread first.

    Supers VS Guns

    Yes. 'You don't hit if you miss' is, indeed, absolutely true.

    Supers VS Guns

    I guess we fundamentally disagree then. Your argument is very disingenuous, I gotta say. I was arguing about guns vs superpowers, because that's what the tread is about. You seem determined to goal-shift it into 'civilians aren't as well trained as the people whose job it is to fire them.' Not...

    Supers VS Guns

    You don't need to be special forces to fire a gun on target. You don't even need to be any kind of soldier. You just need a few sessions at the range. No, the lethality is not at all conditional. There's good reasons why gun safety is the first and most important thing drilled into your head...

    Happening to me also. Meanwhile, I seem to get alerts for non-OP replies even if I didn't click / navigate to read the prior one(s).

    Thank you kindly. I'll remember to use the report function in the future. I guess I'm paranoid about what constitutes report button abuse.
