For your series, what are you studying/researching now?

[abigaillmartin]

What kind of sandwiches they ate in the Victorian era because there will be a scene where Roy and Ernest are eating sandwiches. Annnnnd

Peanut Butter hasn’t been invented yet! I looked it up and saw these.

Tomato and horseradish sandwich

Sardine sandwiches

Baked bean and lettuce

Ham and olive

Potato sandwich?

Jelly and cheese

So in the scene Roy and Ernest will be eating sardine sandwiches as well as jam and cheese sandwiches.

Keep in mind the bread would’ve had to be freshly made for the sandwiches to be eatable too so there’s that. 🤣

researched chinese and korean names, have a PDF of everything about huli jings (chinese version of the kitsunes), also made research of things like selkies, forges, kitchens, oriental dressing, different kinds of food (have to make a board for pinterest about it), different kinds of weapons and so on

[thepenmonster]

Guitars, mics, amps, speakers, stands, drum kits, and the relative proportions of them compared to the human using them.

A good example is the drum kit. I've grown used to the idea of the drummer buried behind a wall of toms and cymbals like Neal Peart, but..

Ringo begs to differ and Ringo was/ is a king.

[abigaillmartin]

I love you Ringo! You go Ringo!

[allenT]

Bumping it.
(I see there's no 30-day expiry for this thread,great!)

Chinese culture - writing about Chinese Fantasy but hoping to make it closely true to the culture as possible.

[abigaillmartin]

At the very moment I’m trying to look for Irish lullabies. But there is none pre-1980s

Like none from Elsie’s time.

However there is a buttload of English ones. I think I know why, but it’s still frustrating.

I want there to be a scene where Ernest’s mother sings or something. I don’t know.

[Lensing]

I just finished a christmas story, I know a lot about christmas because I´m german and we love christmas
but I did some research about traditions to get inspiration

[thepenmonster]

I had to look up some man-o-spehere chuds to act as models for dickweed characters.

Pitching and its muscle use research

from Armwrestling rsubreddit:

Baseball pitches require extreme looseness in the shoulder ligaments to achieve the ROM for speed and whip. ArmWrestling generally asks for tightness. They would probably be better than an average age and size matched comparison untrained person, or an endurance athlete, but I don't think they'd dominate.

Hammer throwers and shot putters are generally very powerful and strong upper body athletes; I'd love to give one of them a go, probably be pretty good I'd guess. I know from experience that rock climbers are generally very good pound for pound (weaknesses in pronation and cupping but ridiculous tier finger strength usually).

extra:

[Leyelle]

British slang and a bit of German interjections and things for my characters Hallie (German) and Madeline (biracial English and Korean)

Also a lot of natural hairstyles. I'm black myself, but as my partner (the artist) is not, I have to get her some hairstyle reference for the female lead.

I was looking for the desktop version of Only Fans from the... Streamer's? Poster's? Thirst trap's? interface. No such luck so I decided to keep the monitor off panel.

[kyupol]

1) The Bible

3) Eckhart Tolle books (already Segway into Hinduism, Buddhism, Spiritual Christianity)
4) stoicism books (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus)

7) Rational Male by Rollo Thomassi
8) Peaceful warrior by Dan Millman
9) Philippine history
10) Marxism, Libertarianism

Yep... research material for AngHell Dela Blackpill...

@kyupol
Just a friendly heads up, per the opening post, OP requested that people not post links to their series.

[allenT]

Not really for my series's study, but it's a really good video!
One of most comprehensive guide ever about print materials & print qualities of mangas.

(update: So sorry, it's more about different print qualities among publishers, not much helpful for indie creators to choose which papers to use)

[kingtubz7]

I've been studying a lot of science such as electromagnetism due to the current arc that I'm in, but quantum theories have also caught my attention. Quantum theories will soon be the core of my study as they will play a huge role in the plot of my novel. It is truly a fascinating subject.

The Rarely Told Story of Pre-Colonial Philippines

[kyupol]

One attack from the opponent is equivalent to ten counter attacks and WE CALL IT...

[MiharuWrites]

Smart idea. Always good to be prepared and see what dumb mistakes others have made so you don't make the same ones.

[MiharuWrites]

Looks great! The research is paying off. Like your character design too.
