    Summary

    For many stories, one of the most important aspects is writing a main character to which whom the reader can relate to. Being able to empathize with the characters within a story is important, as a connection is what helps the reader feel invested in the media itself.

    With one sub-genre of literature, it goes even a bit more literal than that. “Reader-Insert” is a term that can mean a great variety of things. It is used as an adjective, a genre, and for some people who have been apart of the internet and fandom community, something that may even be looked at negatively.

    This guide is to try and offer some insight and constructive help for those who are new to the term or simply want the point of view from someone else who is active in the community

    Summary

    An irritated Pokemon might tell you to stop what you're doing. An irritated animal will probably just attack you. Pokemon, for all their power, would be open books and a breeze to care for to any competent animal handler on Earth. After a fiery death, a professional zookeeper who never outgrew Pokemon games ends up in the world of Pokemon. The entire world is thrown onto its side.

    Summary

    Dovahkiin… Is it not clear? Funtiil. You failed,” Alduin lands in front of you, a heavy thump that shakes the ground and you weakly tilt your head up. The warriors that fought bravely with you had been devoured, their forms disappearing into his maw despite your best efforts. Now you’re alone as you lie injured and bruised. You try to raise your sword in a show of defiance only for it to clatter out of your hand.

    Aka: A proud Dragonborn can't allow themselves to die weakly, and Alduin can't accept that he hasn't broken them. And so, he'll do whatever it takes to break them.

    There are no descriptors for the Dragonborn's genitals. And note that this takes place during Sovngarde.
