The moss-troll problem, or, Accidental Worldbuilding Through Metaphors
I read “the sea serpent had eyes the colour of NyQuil” and imagined them as being sky blue. When I got to the moss-troll bit, I thought “ah, so moss-troll ichor is light blue then”. It wasn’t until finishing the article that I remembered: I have no idea what NyQuil looks like.
This is probably some meaningful statement on metaphors in itself, but I’m not quite sure what.
