@Tuijp: Well that makes sense, I am a Gryffindor! (seriously though, I was just playing with ya. I know I don't have monopoly on the red and yellow colors) Hope you had a great birthday!

@Lithinel: I heard the Mortal Instruments was really good but I watched the movie and it turned me off. I will give it another go I guess? Haven't heard of Shadowhunters but I will give it a watch. I keep seeing Midnight, Texas on the recommended books list but I have never taken a look at it. I will check it out too thanks!

@Lithinel: Well the best thing for you then is...the wiki!!!! not scary at all :vanora_xd: But yeah I cant think of any other good modern fantasy besides the really famous ones like Harry Potter. Do you know any?

@Lithinel: Yeah I am exactly the same way, I like spoilers for violent shows like Game of Thrones and such. But hey if you are interested and can't watch the show, you can maybe read the book instead?

@Lithinel: Yeah that was one of the scarring episodes I mentioned. Well I get to spoil it for you then :) So the show is about some college students who get into a college version of Hogwarts called Brakebills where they get divided into houses based on what kind of powers they have, Physical, Natural, Illusion, Knowledge, Healing and Psychic. After being assigned a Discipline, students may choose to live in the corresponding dormitory for the remainder of their time at Brakebills. There is another world like Narnia where everything is done by magic so they don't even know how to do simple things like plant food. The kids eventually go there through a portal and get crowned kings and queens, so now they have to protect the world while still learning how to control their magic. I feel like the writer wrote a parody of all modern fantasy and squished it together.

@Lithinel: Honestly though not every episode of the magicians is gory but I have been scarred by a couple really bad ones. I do know supernatural, haven't watched every episode but I have watched some episodes here and there. Its kinda similar on the gory scale. My friend who watched every episode of supernatural and the magicians says supernatural is worse. So maybe you can handle it? Most of the gore is implied but not really shown. Best to watch it with someone who has seen it before so they can tell you when to close your eyes :vanora_xd:

@Lithinel: Ah dont watch it then, extremely gory AND violent you wont like it :vanora_xd:

@Lithinel: Have you seen the TV show called The Magicians? I love it, kinda similar to what you are describing, modern magic.

@Lithinel: Ah no worries. Thanks for telling me about your world! I am beginning to get excited about the characters in it!

@Lithinel: Oh thats cool. I prefer hand gestures myself as it has more potential to be dynamic and fun.

@Tuijp: Yeah, red and yellow is my thing, so if you stay on your black and yellow side we shall have no problems :vanora_smile:

@Lithinel: How do they do magic? like with wands, hand gestures or some other way perhaps?

@Lithinel: If you make magic have a cost, like its either physically or mentally exhausting there would be a reason to develop technology for the heavy lifting like building, factory production etc. Or they could tame the dragons, ogres and trolls to do that but that would kinda be inhumane? But then again it could just be their culture and how they do things.

@Tuijp: Nope but you should keep that one, its better
