I constantly have it in my mind that Gillion is three years older than Chip. Gillion, yes, Gillion mother fucking Tidestrider, is the oldest of the albatrio.

It's funny on a base level, Gillion is oldest yet the others need to babysit him. Gillion is the oldest but he knows the least. Haha.

It's less funny if you think about Chip being 8 years old, happy with the black rose pirates and then Gillion. Gillion who is eleven and training to be a weapon for others.

It's less funny if you think about Jay, 12 and spending time with her mom and sister. Gillion, 13, who can't remember his mom and almost expects his sister's hugs to hurt because the only contact he gets is hit over the head for failing again.

Chip, 14, Jay, 16, able to act out and cause trouble, because they're teenagers, why not goof around? And then Gillion, who's 17 and told to be an adult and act like it. But he can't change how he acts, because being mature has always been the standard expectation, he doesn't know how to be an adult when that's already what he's been his whole life.

Chip, 18 and he is scared to kill someone because killing is bad. Jay, 20 and her sister is dead and she is heartbroken. Gill, 21 and he is already used to killing, and he never sees his sister anyways, and he ruins his life. He ruins his life doing wha he thought was right, doing what they taught him to do.

Gillion is three years older than Chip, a year older than Jay. And it seems insignificant until you think about those years being stolen from him. It took Gillion 22 years to be free. Chip was free off and on, he had a childhood, Jay was never held back, she had a childhood.

Gillion didn't.

box cat!

HC of GL!Crumb is that they were found in the woods by GL!Ranboo. They don’t remember anything. GL!Ranboo sees them eating crumbs, then Crumb themselves decided to name themselves the stuff they’re eating…Crumbs.

The endermoms took them in when their son be like: Hey mom, I found this cat outside in the woods eating chicken food. “Dear thats a child”

+ GL!Ranboo gets a hair cut cause it’s in the way plus easier to clean the blood off

Is this that archive guy yall are obsessed with?

World Building Tip: Research every culture you wish to "emulate"

Example: I wanted some form traditional tattooing for one of my cultures.

So I researched traditional Polynesian tattooing practices not only for 'inspiration' but so I know the cultural significance of the practices I wish to emulate in a fictional setting.

You cannot forget that the practices, places and objects you become inspired by to add to your world have real world ties and roots that you're inadvertently adding to your worldbuilding.

You don't want someone to find something in common with your world building and find it construed in a horrible way--ultimately and sometimes accidently being racist or insensitive to someone elses culture.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go research Henna.
