Otherworldly Historian

@otherworldlyhistorian

Wow! The depth to your world’s history is amazing! I notice a lot of events that could be pinpointed as particular allegories to real world events. Would you consider yourself more of an allegorical writer, or just drawing inspiration from real world history (as you would need to either way)? Do you want to make particular…[Read more]

Ok so I just lost the post I was going to do. I think it will take me a bit to retype so I am kind of sorry about not getting back about Kharvian culture yet. I was going to make a post for each of the eastern countries (and Animar which is technically not a country. At least not yet). There is also a western Kharvian…

@thearcaneaxiom @otherworldlyhistorian

Thanks for the ideas! I will work on it more later when my brain is less dead.

@otherworldlyhistorian

I can respect that. What some say is the best thing about Sanderson is that he gives great gateway stories for whoever is looking to get into darker fantasy. He knows how to just write people, and how to create an intriguing and different world, and as he says himself, he’s a showman. Maybe some might consider him the Bob…[Read more]

About the auras. I personally don’t know much about dimensionality but I had more conceptualized it as this like mental awareness. It takes training to be able to use it and unenhanced it generally can only be expanded by about a foot from bare skin. Your basic aura (the non-enhanced one) can go through anything. The only t…

This is a really fascinating world! Thanks for answering my questions. I’m still confused about the Oskrion though, what resets it at the beginning of the month if it only explodes at the end of the year? Calendars are so fun to think about. Omialia has some interesting day night cycles as well. There’s two ‘suns’ that…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian @whalekeeper

Thanks! 😀

@gwyndalf-the-wise

Thanks!

So if I painted something ugly you’d still possibly like it? XD

@otherworldlyhistorian

Yep! Hard magic is so fun to contemplate!

Your world sounds super cool! I love how your combining things like lunar calendars, light, chemistry, and a bunch of other concepts into the magic.

Ok, I got questions.

You say the Oskrion Complex is a imploding celestial structure. So does it appear to be slowly shrinking over…[Read more]

@felicity @otherworldlyhistorian @princesachronicle22 @orielle21 @sarafini @anyone-I-missed-because-I-feel-like-I’m-missing-someone

Heyo! Missed this? It would’ve been our turn today. I have like 20 minutes so I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to RP.

@otherworldlyhistorian

Absolutely! It’s really cool. But at the same time…I don’t know how to answer that struggle yet XD hence why his story is on hold at the moment.

@freedomwriter76

XD They sure do!

*stares at all the characters trying to sneakily take the wheel of the story* *glares*

@otherworldlyhistorian

I wholeheartedly agree. I think that for many Christians, there is a temptationtendency to banish anything even distantly related to magic, or violence, or sensitive topics – and to be honest, that isn’t really doing anything, is it? To ban, say, Harry Potter, means that you either don’t understand what is real magic or isn…[Read more]

“As for me I just don’t enjoy math once it becomes as calculatery as the part of precalc I am on is.”

Yeah, I understand, again though, that’s not what math truly is. Proper rigor is necessary when pursuing math, but because of school and general stigma, the majority of people assume that math is just the calculatery p…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

Yep, lol! I haven’t even heard about any dev mode or OS! I really need let go of my strange obsession with my current software crutch and pay more attention to reality…

@mineralizedwritings

AWW KEIRYN 😭

@otherworldlyhistorian

sure! So I don’t really have blurbs (what I call back of the book things or synopsis’) I mean I do have some but they’re not polished not do they fit really anymore so I’ll just give an overarch of the series or the two MCs in the first book

Basically I have 8 MCs, and a new one or two…[Read more]

@keilah-h @otherworldlyhistorian @orielle22 @princesschronicle22

Anyone want to RP? It’s our turn today. 😉

@power @otherworldlyhistorian @sarafini @foltih-feolin @felicity @mineralizedwritings

Thanks for offering, though I’m not looking for beta-readers quite yet. 😉 Your enthusiasm is encouraging, though, and I’ll remember y’all when I’m searching for beta-readers. 🙂

@joy-calle

I watched Abbie Emmons’s video on beta readers and she recommend…

@godlyfantasy12 ❤

First of all, I second @otherworldlyhistorian ‘s suggestion to find another writer that you can write with in person. If you’re a social person, and RPs motivate you, having someone to bounce ideas off of might bridge that gap between your RPing and your actual story.

Second – people have told you ‘step back.’ I wouldn’t say…[Read more]
