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.

guys listen listen listen im going insane about the artist attention to detail with their designs holy fucking shit man look at them look at them they genuinely look like fraternal twins and the children of their parents in actual character structure, not just colors holy fucking Shit.

Emizel has Jeffrey's hair color on top but the Queen's hair color closer to the roots where his undercut is. Emizel also has Jeffery's eye shape and the Queen's eyebrow shape!! He has the Queen's cheek bone and jaw shape but Jeffery's chin shape, and he also has Jeffery's overall mouth shape with the stern flat line.

Shilo has the Queen's eye shape and Jeffery's eyebrow shape. He has the Queen's cheekbone and chin shape, but Jeffery's jaw shape. He also has the Queen's overall mouth shape, with the little bow in the center. ALSO!! VERY TINY DETAIL!! but where the light hits jefferys hair and eyebrow in the upper left, its the same golden shade as shilos hair!!

and then on both of them, they both have the same nose, with the Queen's bridge shape but the fathers nose tip shape.

You thought it ends there? No Sir!!!! Even their body structures match!!! Emizel has the Queen's body structure with wider shoulders and hips and narrower waist in a general hourglass silhouette structure, while Shilo has Jeffery's general body shape with the broader/rounder chest and straighter narrower hips providing more power and definition to the upper body

Anyway, to the artist - you did a fantastic job I love them Dearly so so much,, if im Correct in these observations that so fucking cool of you incredible skills there im devouring it,, if im Not Correct then my apologies im simply utterly insane about this show and their designs and im searching for enrichment

The Unicorns of Duaiune Part 2: The Banners

Unicorn herds organize themselves into eighteen Banners. Member herds of a given banner plan their nomadic routes together and communicate as they travel across the continent independently. Each banner’s home land always has at least one member herd present.

Even though the unicorns are constantly moving. Members of a given banner can always be found at a fixed point. While the banner territory is usually very large, it features at least one known meeting place at which anyone wishing to address the banner as a whole may expect to do so. This is for diplomatic reasons, as the banners function much like governments when dealing with humans.

Generally, herds do not stray too distantly from these starting points. Over the course of a year, one heard may travel several thousand miles in circuit, but this is often not enough to traverse the entirety of the continent. All eighteen banners are considered diplomatically neutral and, through treaty, have freedom of travel through any and all territories among other benefits.

The banners themselves often mimic the colors of nearby human nations, or flaunt aspects of regional culture. They are a courtesy to non unicorns in marking meeting places and identifying the loyalties of herds as they pass through a given area.

There is no formal education within the banners beyond mage apprenticeships. Roughly two thirds of unicorns are at least partially illiterate. In herds with little contact with humans, this figure is more significant. The majority speak both Lodo and Cauhai. In the west Hcodai / West Isle Common is spoken as well.

On top of this, a simple writing system unique to The Banners is used for marking way posts, time keeping, and signatures.

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.

"Despite their somewhat fearsome appearance, Gruppers (also known as 'Puppeels' for obvious reasons) are overtly friendly creatures capable of surviving both on land and in water. They come in a huge variety of colours and breeds, making them very popular pets on Torr."

Simple Tips for Magic Systems

Typically splitting the writing/explanation of the magic helps me to convey my point.

What is it?

just a general explanation of what the magic actually is, maybe a vague explanation of how it works. Who can wield it? Is it genetic or learnt? What does it look like? Stuff like that.

Purpose

The narrative purpose of the magic is it used for flashy fights that hold more emotional weight through the outcome of the battle, or is it the enchantment of an item and the giving of such an item, means something?

Origins/history

This is self-explanatory and I personally believe this is important, although really only works with medium-hard magic systems, soft systems can have it but may cause issues in world-building.

Techniques/methods/Casting

Obviously, it must be explained to some capacity how magic is done and what happens. eg. if 𝑥 is added to y then 𝓏 will occur. Of course, this is respective to what the magic is itself. It’s mainly the place to further expand on the ‘what is it?’ section.

Limitations

THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE. Please, cripple your magic to hell, and bring those who wield it down to a level only slightly above the normal person. OR create a cost that is great enough to be debatably not worth it in certain situations. of course this really depends on the hardness of your system. This is also where you put something like the cost and price of your magic.

Progression

how does the magic evolve over the course of a wielder’s life? whether they learn or have it genetically handed down how does one get better at magic?

I’ll be posting an example of how this looks when paired with an actual example soon, so you’re welcome to follow for that, otherwise, I hope this helped! Have a great day :)

I haven't been very active recently, but today I wanted to make another post related to (fantasy) world building. You can check my post about making a character encyclopedia here, or my other post about making an imaginary country.

Now, onto today's theme:

World building: making a religion

That's right! Religion is an important part of human history and - whether you are or are not religious yourself - you might want to give the people in your country or fantasy world some sort of beliefs or religion.

Today I created my very first imaginary religion and I wanted to share my creative process.

As I did with my country building guide, I will shorten the explanation to four simple steps in order to get started and set the basic traits of your religion. Here we go.

1. Type of religion (general traits)

Before anything else, you must think about what kind of religion you want it to be. These are questions you can ask yourself to get started:

Will it be a monotheistic or polytheistic religion?

If polytheistic, how many gods/goddesses are there? Are they arranged in some sort of hierarchy? If so, make a small diagram to organise it.

If monotheistic, is the god/goddess omnipotent? Are they limited by anything? Did they create humankind and the rest of the species?

Is there any kind of sacred texts, similar to the Bible or so? Or is it a religion transmitted orally?

Is the religion centered on any particular aspect of life (e.g. death, chastity, knowledge...)?

Are there pastors or any kind of religious guides or leaders? Or do the people speak directly to the god(s)/goddess(es)?

Does it give any explanation to what happens after death? Is there some sort of Heaven? Do they believe in Hell?

(I recommend thinking of a name, too, but this is not mandatory.)

2. Develop the ideas written before

This might seem obvious.

For polytheistic religions, try to describe as much as possible about every god/goddess. You can take inspiration from actual religions (always being respectful, of course) or ancient mythology. For instance, I decided to base the religion I created on spirits and natural elements (water, earth & forest, light, night and wind). Give the gods and goddesses some recognisable symbols.

Establish some basic rules, too. Here are some prompt questions.

How strict are the leaders of the religion (if there are any leaders at all)? Are the believers required to do anything in particular in their daily lives? Will there be any punishment if they don't do it?

Are there any forbidden foods or drinks?

Do they have any specific celebrations? Write those down and briefly explain them.

What are some of the legends, myths or stories that are part of the religion?

3. Branches

Of course, this is optional, but it is very likely that a religion will eventually split into different branches or groups.

I would recommend establishing which branch is the most important one. Then you can invent as many smaller groups as you want. Explain why they differ from the main branch of the religion and if they are considered to be a cult by the rest of the community.

Again, here are some more questions you can get inspiration from:

Are they a pacifist group or do they attack other believers/apostates/atheists?

Do all branches live peacefully or are they constantly at war?

What names do these branches receive?

4. Integrate the religion in your world/country

Now you have a solid idea of what your religion is like. It's time to integrate it in your fantasy world.

How powerful are the different branches of the religion?

Have they caused any wars or revolutions? Have they succeed in defeating their enemies?

Did the religion expand across other countries? To which ones? Did they make any changes to it?

This is basically everything I can suggest in order to invent a religion from scratch to use in your stories. I hope somebody finds this small guide useful in some way. Thanks for reading :)

how to make removable eye chips

stuff you’ll need!

paper

14mm cabochans

one (1) furby eye

strong glue (mod podge)

pencil (not pictured bc im dumb)

scissors (also not pictured, bc im dumb)

first, i glue two piece of paper together because the paper i use is kind of thin

then i trace circles onto the paper with the furby eye as a guide

personally, i draw my eye designs and if you do too then this is the time to do it. if you have printed out eye chips, just skip this step and keep the blank circles, just be sure to glue your desired eye chip design on before the circles!

glue them suckers on

make sure to get as in-the-middle as possible ! (something i did not do very well)

cut out along the circle you drew (not flush to the chip)

this step and the gluing them on step are interchangeable

optional; accidentally break your furby’s eyes

pop them in and out at your disposal! if the paper comes off the cabochan, just glue it back in place. the cabochans MUST be 14mm, as 15mm are too large and must be glued in

i don’t know the measurements for a furby baby, because i don’t have one, but im sure you can find them somewhere!
