So I've heard about some rumors that the gems on the Calamity Box represent the three girls who had ended up on the frog world (Anne, Sasha, and Marcy), which are the blue, pink and green gems. Since I wanted to know about them, I wanted to ask all you guys this: What do the three gems on the Cal...

I remember reading a book like 10 years ago about a few teens who got super-powers and then everything eventually goes to crap by the end. I read it in elementary school (I had a high reading level) and I just remembered it again.

Out of the blue, one of my sons asked me today what Cthulhu's "stats" were. My immediate thought was to look them up in the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Deities & Demigods. Having shown him the picture of Cthulhu there, I paged through the rest of the section, looking at the other pictu...

I have just started a blog on which I publish short stories (https://readbetweenthelie.wixsite.com/read). For my new story, I am writing the story in 2nd POV, an experiment like the "Choose Your Own Adventure" book series from the late 1970s through the 1990s. The 2nd part of the story, its endin...

With the helmet never being removed being one of the biggest trademarks of Din Djarin, we've found out that the Children of the Watch never remove their helmet. This, as it is stated such in the Way of the Mandalore. The cult's ideology stated that if a Mandalorian removed their helmet in front ...

I’m looking for a story/novella I read in an anthology 3 or 4 decades ago. It’s about a traveler who arrives at a planet where the society is centered on total honesty. The man is introduced to things we take for granted like sales and advertising, but with absolutely no shading of the truth. ...

"Your curiosity is gonna get you killed" Me and many of my friends recall this line from a movie or a TV show but can't recall which movie/show it's from. It's most probably from the Marvel Cinematic Universe because that's something that we all have watched but I'm not sure. I don't know if qu...

I'm looking for a novel I read in English around 1989 or 1990. I think it was written in the 80s. It was a rather thick (for the time) mass-market paperback and I think it had a picture of a guy reaching for a dagger or a crystal (or maybe a dagger encased in crystal) on the cover. In the novel,...

I read this short story in a collection somewhere in the late 80s or early 90s, but I think it may have been written earlier. In the story, a fairly young guy ends up in a strange community on a different planet. The community is very peaceful and seem on the face of things healthy and pretty ide...

In S2E3 of The Mandalorian, the Razor Crest misses a landing pad on Trask and has to be lifted out of the water by this walker. Does this walker have a class/model name? Has anything similar (industrial use of a walker) shown up in canon (or extended 'canon') before? This ScreenRant article seem...

As per the title, I'd like to ask a question about The Left Hand of God. I've found only this question about it, but it's just a story identification question, so I'm not sure I can take the existence of that question as a positive answer to my question here on meta.

I'm reading The left hand of God, in Italian, so I hope in the following I give a plausible translation of it back to English. In chapter 32, there's this conversation «So is it my fault? Well, in this case I'll fix these things. Tha boy is a threat. He's a jinx, like that guy in the belly of th...

Rewatching Interstellar I couldn't help but notice the similiarities in the personality of Cooper's two children, Murphy and Tom and the two of the robots he encounters during the film, TARS and CASE. This has likely been picked up upon in the past but I can't see any references. I believe TARS r...
