Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

Scene doesn’t exactly have to be like this but here’s my brother’s current lock screen:

@rae lolll yes Soldier is definitely involved.

I’d love to see it! Bad drawing or not. I’m terrible at scenes too, don’t worry.

It was actually supposed to be the scene of them fighting the giant bread monster but just doing Soldier teleporting bread will be funny!

I’ll post some pics of him so you can have references.

I’ll have to get to that tomorrow or something.

Oh yeah, and the basics of a civilization?

Donuts and swords.

No, seriously. Virtually every culture, even the most basic ones, makes some kind of killing implement—sword, or spear, or similar—out of metal or animal teeth or obsidian or whatever they have. And they also learn how to make bread, often fried bread (hence the donuts)

Many cul…[Read more]

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

@jonas

Cool, I will love to hear your thoughts then!

@stephie

I’ve also tried writing textbooks.

This. Writing the information in textbook form is my favorite way to format it.

-There’s a reason Tech has stayed my profile pic for so long. I don’t quite know what “kin” means (hoping it’s not something bad lol) but it seemed like it meant “character that’s basically you” so…..

-I’ve realized that no matter what fandom it is, the mark that I’m REALLY obsessed with it is when I combine it with How To Train Your Dragon som…[Read more]

Oh yeah and I’m not sure why I never posted this:

Welp, no it didn’t. (cue fail sound effect)

@the_lost-journal wanna see my drawing process on how I do my comic over-drawings?

Hopefully this’ll work:

@mineralizedwritings It’s taking a bit longer than I thought to get all the reference images for my characters, but I will get them to you soon!

@raxforge yep!

oh and haha that meme. Did the seasoning company literally copy the environmentalist ad or is it just edited?

@raxforge oooooh…..worldbuilding. i love worldbuilding.

Except I just kinda throw together what works. Half the time it doesn’t leave my brain until I write it in the story, or tell someone it for context purposes.

Also, since I write fanfics which often change the source material in some way, I extrapolate from what already exists. The…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

I also use Google docs and fill out the whole thing with general information, such as flora and fauna, science, tech, etc. History is by far the longest section.

Does anyone have advice for outlining magic systems? I’m looking at you, @jonas . Or really anyone. I would like to be more organized with it, but I’ve never known where to start.

@raxforge

Ah, yes. 😎

@ellette-giselle

oh wow.

Yeah, it’s not fun to think about.

yeah no I know not everyone should be getting death threats who leads. Our pastors aren’t currently being hunted or threaten, but it was just the general idea that so many churches and pastors and believers don’t take their faith seriously

That’s true. I think unserious leaders will eve…[Read more]

@raxforge

🤣🤣 Does that mean you like everything about worldbuilding?

What is something each person here likes about worldbuilding?
