Sometimes it feels like immortality tropes are more like mortality copes

Guys, what do you think of my world ? Do you think the similarities with Europe are subtle enough ?

My Dwarves Misgender Sentient Constructs
They don't care if youre a dude Forgeborn, they'll affectionately call you "she" and "her" like they're talking about one of their favorite weapons.
"Isn't she a beaut? She's the most beautiful craftsmanship I've ever seen".
"Dude, do you not see my metal nuts?"

How would football develop if both sides have guns?
Hi guys, I’ve been thinking about sports that would be played in my world and concluded that football would likely still have been invented, but with both teams having guns (highly militaristic society). How do you think this would affect the evolution of football into the modern league system?
Some points to consider:
- The players all get handguns, except the goalie who gets a sniper rifle
- The terrain of the pitch is changed to facilitate taking cover and holding ground. Players are also provided shovels for digging trenches
- If a player is shot and can no longer play on (or dies) they are replaced by a substitute until there are no substitutes left
- A side wins if there are no players left on the opposing side, or if they manage to score the most goals
- If a player shoots and bursts the football it is known as a “gunball” and that player is given a red card and then shot dead by the referee (who also has a gun)
Thoughts?

MFW my Isekai protag kinda-sorta pretty much created an Uber Army
So, you know how Isekai Protags tend to have a cheat skill? Here, narratively said cheat skill is a three parter:
1) being a ND Chaos Gremmlin with a high school science education, reading further science, and a gamer mindset when it comes to embracing janky combinations.
2) being reborn as a goblin futa, starting with some trust capital among the "monster races" by being one of them.
3) being reborn as a goblin futa, hence having a convenient excuse for being "weird": "goblins just do be like that. Goblins just do be slap random scavenged stuff together creating unholy kitbashed abominations that somehow work."
Now most of her "inventions" are her having an idea, and then delegating execution to trusted specialists. She "invented" Necrosene (Necromancy is good for accelerated decay, melting organic matter such as corpses down into Necrude Oil (Necromantic Crude Oil), fractional distillation can get Necromantic KeroSene, and other oil products), Slimestics (Slimegirls being natural chemical minifactories, feed your Slimegirl some Necrosene, enjoy Plastics coming out!), the Fox Speak (hollow slimestics spears with kitsune hair mixed in the slimestics body, filled with powder, for use by flying cabalry. A Flameseeking spell in the tip, wind magic in the body, and a Spark spell for when it hits), Illusion based HUDs, and the Enhanced Visual Administration Unit, a beast of a magical slate that uses illusions to condense complex situations, and Sending magic to relay orders, and countless other stuff like that.
Now, Demons are actually keeping peeps at each other's throat and invading the land one territory at a time. But our Isekai gobbo protag noticed, by simple virtue of... Having a concept of global politics and of existential threats, having come from Earth. So time to turn the bickering realms into a kitbashed patchwork alliance, Goblin Style! Demons, meet the Global Defensive Alliance! The world has your number now!
How to organize a bunch of wildly different biologies, tactical doctrines, equipment profiles, and all that into a coherent, integrated chain of commands?
Officers give Objectives, which can be Claimed by anyone below them, who can give Sub-objectives to claim for those below them. While anyone can Request Support, which can be filled by anyone with capacity to spare. It's a wonderful organizational decentralized distributed bounty board.
MFW my Isekai Gobbo Protag just invented Uber Deploys.
