• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Mea culpa

    It's been six months since I left TCoD. I had my reasons. I was getting pretty burnt out with some of the discussions and I felt it was time to leave. I also thought I didn't fit in because I'm male, straight and white in a place that has a large proportion of people who belong to the LGBT...

    A song from every year since 19__

    Are you done throwing your toys out of the pram? Seriously, take a look at the mainstream. Pop, hip-hop, rap. Those bands you listed may have produced "stunning albums", but what was their impact? Are Muse the new Beatles? New The Who? New Zep? Are they going to be remembered in 20 years? 30...

    A song from every year since 19__

    Can't say the Foo Fighters and Nickelback are good heirs to rock music, so yeah. Modern trends... Not a fan of nu metal. Listened to Limp Bizkit, disgusting stuff. Mixing hip hop and metal, WTF. Post-grunge. It sucks. Rock music conceived to sell. Guys pretending to have psychological issues...

    A song from every year since 19__

    Rock died after grunge, and grunge died with Kurt Cobain's suicide, so my list would only go up to 1994... Even though the old acts kept releasing stuff later on, but it just wasn't as good.

    What are you reading? II

    I don't know how the translation was for Gabriel García Marquez's books, but when translating from an Anglo-Saxon/Germanic language to a Latin one, the translation has to be really good. In some cases the "feel" of the book is lost with translation. I can't even imagine how it is to read a...

    Your Favorite Anime?

    xxxHolic has a special flair to it. Its art isn't great, but it doesn't need to be. It's like a game you play because of the gameplay, not graphics. My favourite thing about the art in xxxHolic is how the background people aren't fully drawn. "Laziness"? Definitely not! It's to emphasize the...

    What are you reading? II

    Just finished Interview with the Vampire. I really enjoyed the latter part of the book when Louis is in Paris, although Louis himself isn't a particularly enjoyable character until he has his "revelation" near the end of the book. The Vampire Chronicles are also interesting in that they depict...

    Creating an own "mythology", so to speak

    First of all thanks for the in-depth reply, I couldn't access TCoD before so I couldn't see it, I'm sorry for answering this late. In my world, you need to have "something else" in your blood to be a magical being, and, if you have this "something else", you aren't human. The symbols aren't...

    Gun Control

    There are researches saying most guns in the hands of criminals were actually obtained legally. No, they didn't go to the store and bought them! Most commonly the guns were stolen from someone who obtained them legally. The 2nd Amendment is a rule that needs to be interpreted according to...

    Creating an own "mythology", so to speak

    The title doesn't really encompass all of my questions... After some thought I've decided to set my story in a semi-fictional modern reality, but I'm having problems with creating a distinct mythology with magical things and the sort, an explanation for the existence and the flow of magical...

    Gun Control

    I'm all for gun control. I don't want to be killed by a stupid guy with a revolver just because we got the wrong side of each other. Untrained people (and even trained ones) do horrible things with guns.

    Question about cultures

    Dagestan and Chechnya in Russia for example. Russia will never allow them to break away from the federation, despite the fact only a minority in these territories are ethnic Russians. Serbia was the strongest republic in the old Yugoslavia and the one with imperialist intentions. The thing in...

    Cannabis

    The 18th Ammendment was one of the worst legal rules ever, it only fueled organized crime and alcohol smuggling. I don't hate alcohol, you can do funny things when high. But lately it seems to induce sleep on me, so I don't see much point in drinking it.

    Question about cultures

    The Australians are probably more interested in killing the remaining ones, it's a secret wish of the common people, like the indigenous communities in Brazil. Here in Brazil we have a culture of protecting the Indian, on the other hand this is to the detriment of the Afro-American. Indians...

    Cannabis

    Why not? Alcohol is worse anyways, and it's legal.
