Mels Big Fantasy Place-Name Reference

Mel’s Big Fantasy Place-Name Reference

So I’ve been doing lots of D&D world-building lately and I’ve kind of been putting together lists of words to help inspire new fantasy place names. I figured I’d share.

Wand Ideas??

If we roll with the idea that our wands could be anything we enchant, then we can come up with some unique and confidential wand ideas. Like:

a pen or pencil

a wooden spoon

a lighter 

a fishing rod

one of those handheld fans

chopsticks (like DUAL-WIELDING wands … each standing for a different element, or life/death … it sounds so dope)

a bow and arrow

a paintbrush

a ruler

a flashdrive (imagine having your entire grimoire IN YOUR WAND)

a hairpin

long crystals

a pocket knife

a wii-mote

an animal bone

I’m really into this idea of casual items being wands, especially for secret witches. If anyone else has ideas, please add on! I wanna read them!!

Alright Ace Side of Tumblr

I need some help.

For the longest time I knew that I was somewhere in the Ace Umbrella, but if I ever want to come out, then it has to be something exact. My parents are pushing me to get a boyfriend around this time and I don't really know what to tell them.

Is there such a thing in the vast beauty of Ace where you just see everyone as friends? I like people as friends, and I have never had a crush before. I want to love people, and think the way others do, but I can't no matter how hard I try. It's quite a scary place to be if you have to worry about school dances and such, but I just don't want to dissapoint.

I really need some guidance right about now.
