• 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?

    Patriotism

    I think you've kind of oversimplified and mischaracterised patriotism here. You've basically constructed an indefensible strawman of patriotism, lit it on fire and asked people to justify saving it. It's a bit of a silly way to start a debate. For example, patriotism is a good deal more complex...

    What Are You Thankful For?

    I am thankful for the privileged socioeconomic/sociopolitical position I occupy as a result of centuries of systematically exploiting those who deviate from the idealised default of white cishet western male affluence, including the genocide of American Indians during the colonisation of the...

    THE METAL THREAD (Metal Enthusiasts Only, Please) (Take 2)

    I'm not much for caring about genre, but I do have a few favourite metal bands. There's probably a slight bias towards prog metal, but it's neither conscious nor personally significant: Agalloch Arch Enemy Doomhawk Fair to Midland Mutiny Within Oomph! Praxis Primus Rammstein Slipknot System of...

    NaNoWriMo 2013

    Keep writing until you find the actual start of the story, then chop off everything that happens before then. Simples.

    NaNoWriMo 2013

    I have a rough outline for a novel and I'm just going to freewrite the whole thing for NaNo and then sculpt it into an actual book afterward. Because I can (maybe). Mon profil.

    Creepypasta

    Oh man, don't get me started on creepypasta. I can't get the wiki to work for some reason, but the best are undoubtedly "Normal Porn for Normal People", "Tulpa", "The Russian Sleep Experiment", "Psychosis" and "Gateway of the Mind".

    Recommend Animes for me

    I don't anime but if you're ever looking for some great non-anime Japanese television, watch Juken Sentai Gekiranger. It's AMAZEBALLS.

    What are you reading? II

    Since catching up on A Song of Ice and Fire, I've read The Visible World by Mark Slouka, Everything But You by Yilmaz Odabaşi, The Light Fantastic and Soul Music by Terry Pratchett and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, all of which were wonderful. I've also read Oroonoko by Aphra...

    What would you be famous for?

    The thing I'm most likely to be famous for is writing, probably. I'm not half-bad at acting or singing either, but it seems implausible for me to become famous at them. I'm a fairly talented public speaker and debater, but, not exactly skills that lead to fame unless you use them in a field that...

    Ageism

    On the one hand, we should all be willing to respect and engage with the experiences and expressions of young people, but it would be absurd of us not to be conscious of the fact that perspectives change with age. And that's not just a truism, I mean, the older you get, the less significant an...
