Ugh I just had a cool worldbuilding idea 2 hours into a 10 hour shift

Which means I'm either going to entirely forget OR be consumed thinking about it all day until i can write it down

Writing down my idea so I don't forget it 

The Queen's Guard are known colloquially (and pejoratively) as the Intimidators

Their shining steel plate armour is offset by a flowing cape of purest black and a sash across the chest in a deep bloody red

Writing down my idea so I don't forget it 

Yes

It's a Dale Earnhardt allusion

I'm pretty sure the only difference between a reference and an allusion is how classy you are about it

@coriander it's only a reference if a youtuber notices it and makes a video. otherwise it's an allusion

Follow

@Lady @coriander sometime in school i learned that references are explicit and allusions are not, and by those definitions, almost everything that people would make youtube videos about would be an allusion
