Pro-writing tip: if your story doesn't need a number, don't put a fucking number in it.
Nothing, I mean nothing, activates reader pedantry like a number.
I have seen it a thousand times in writing workshops. People just can't resist nitpicking a number. For example, "This scifi story takes place 200 years in the future and they have faster than light travel because it's plot convenient," will immediately drag every armchair scientist out of the woodwork to say why there's no way that technology would exist in only 200 years.
Dates, ages, math, spans of time, I don't know what it is but the second a specific number shows up, your reader is thinking, and they're thinking critically but it's about whether that information is correct. They are now doing the math and have gone off drawing conclusions and getting distracted from your story or worse, putting it down entirely because umm, that sword could not have existed in that Medieval year, or this character couldn't be this old because it means they were an infant when this other story event happened that they're supposed to know about, or these two events now overlap in the timeline, or... etc etc etc.
Unless you are 1000% certain that a specific number is adding to your narrative, and you know rock-solid, backwards and forwards that the information attached to that number is correct and consistent throughout the entire story, do yourself a favor, and don't bring that evil down upon your head.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

what the fuck happened to the word artist. or entertainer. a content creator is what you'd call a bulbous worm disgorging bilious nutrient feed into a larval trough

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manager of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.

My least favorite things in DnD and fantasy writing in general
In no particular order
-Time is meaningless
A lot of fantasy stories have these periods of time (often centuries if not millenia) where just nothing happens the "age of peace" or whatever, and just NOTHING OF NOTE HAPPENS!
No major political shifts, no notable historic events. Like, a lot happens in a century, there are countries now that weren't independant nations then.
Our world is incredibly vast, there is no worldwide "status quo", things are always changing. I know it's unreasonable to make an entire world and all the details that entails, but making what happens in only a number of lands the only thing happening ever makes the world feel soooo small.
-Technology peaked millenia ago, so now we're all in the "Middle Ages" forever
"Our most advanced piece of technology is full plate armor, and the first of those was made 1945 years ago..." uh-huh, nobody in all that time made something new, huh? "These bodies must have been in these ruins for centuries", and the gear they got is on par with ours, the heroes'... the most frustrating thing about this is that with 15 minutes and 2-3 google searches it could be fixed
Oh, my world's era is around 1400s? This one thing happened over a millenium ago? aight that was late Roman Empire in most of Europe, google what that stuff looked like, bada-bing bada-boom, it's not super elegant but it shows you at least considered what that time difference means
- This weapon/item/ritual is ancient, it's unbeatable
In the centuries that have passed nobody, not one great wizard, ageless dragon, crazed alchemist, whatever was able to make something to challenge the evil thingamabob? All of human, elven, dwarven, etc ingenuity could not hope to triumph something some dickhead made so long ago they wouldn't even be alive for the concept of wiping after shitting?
Frieren is the first piece of media to actually do something fun with this that I've seen (maybe I just have been looking at the wrong shows until now, idk)
Spoilers for the first episodes but here's what happened : 80 years a demon made the Ultimate Destruction Spell tm, and has been sealed away, in those 80 years magic evolved so much that Ultimate Destruction Spelltm has been surpassed by every new attack spell, being reduced baby's first offensive spell
Anyways, I have more of these, maybe I'll post more if I want or enough people care...
