Bigender people are so cool to me as a (possibly) genderfluid person. Like, bro isn't in a superposition, girlypop has psychic bilocation but for gender. I can barely handle being one gender at a time, and they got a collection. Shout out to my bigender homies.

Given the literal translations of jodan, chūdan, gedan, and waki no kamae, you can probably just have your swordsmen in a fantasy setting call them the high, middle, low, and side guard.
crosspost because its funny ok
WIP of my OC Namrusatum. A character for a bronze age setting DND campaign I am playing in. I have really got to figure out how to fill the background in
Beautiful artwork. It looks like the kind of thing you'd see in a life-changing animation meme. Love the line work.
Love books that don't explain jack shit about the world. I love books that pretend the audience is also an inhabitor of said fantastical world, and knows all the cultural customs, and just steam rolls right through scenes without info dumping ANYTHING
Trusting the audience to figure out what's going on through context clues, and then uses the audience's ignorance to suspend mystery and further intrigue.
I love books that never once decide to hold the reader's hand and trust them to be capable of sitting in the uncomfortability that is their confusion for large lengths of time.
This is what I'm trying to write. I want more stories like this. I want some more worlds that aren't dying to explain themselves.

Fantasy Setting with four elements, but none of them are the western ones. Smoke, Light, Darkness, Blood and they operate in predictable scientific manners. Each emanates into different forms that exemplify their attributes. Darkness, upon mixing with Light breaks down into Poison and Water. Blood breaks down into Mana and Dirt. Smoke and Light become Wind and Air. Fire is just an emanation of Light, exemplifying its painful aspect. Clouds (Smoke) accumulates, allowing Darkness to form, which eventually causes the Rain. Where do Cloud come from? Smoke from the Sun of course.
Alchemy that strictly follows this system, used to create a fictional elixir of eternal life. Alchemy in this system used to form a Golden Core, and become immortal. Alchemy that isn't quite correct yet, and that leads to people bloodletting themselves to balance the elements.
Is this anything? Reblog with your own fantasy alchemy, or your own ideas. I'm curious if I'm cooking with gas or just delusional.
My sibling has installed Steam on my Grandma and Grandpa's computer. They have Balatro for my grandpa, and Plants vs Zombies & Slay the Spire for my grandma. My grandpa isn't half bad at Balatro, and my Grandpa is better than me at Slay the Spire.
It feels like we've introduced an invasive species to a delicate ecosystem.
I uninstalled YouTube from my phone, and I'm a lot less depressed now. So I decided to open Tumblr, and now I'm actually posting stuff. Neat. What else will I be able to do now? What if I make a Zine. Or Clean my Laundry. Honestly the possibilities are endless! Y'know, the second I get off the clock.
just casually leaving this here for no particular reason

we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap
the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.
I will not call myself or other people "gooners" or "npcs" or "larpers". i will not call things i dont like "slop". i will not use terms like "-oids". i dont like how common language is slowly becoming more focused on shorthand terms for hate and apathy
Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!
I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should lock the fuck in *half an hour passes* I should-
This is Lieutenant Commander Eastman, reporting with a tour of another ship from the fleet. This is the ISS Moon Rising, a Wayfarer-
I can't do this.
I can't do this! This ship is a mess, just look at her! That's a crack right over the reactor shielding! She doesn't even have a real comms array! How am I supposed to advertise ships that look like they're halfway through being salvaged?
Don't even get me started on the fittings. SABOTS, really? That is a freighter, with shields fit only for asteroids and no armor to speak of. Why, by the stars below, would you strap those glorified scatterguns to it!
This ship is a death trap. They all are.
AND WE CANT EVEN FIX THEM, because apparently, in this day and age, it costs three salvage trips of profit just to procure a half-decent fuel injector.
And you know what? That shuttle pilot was drunk! That shuttle pilot was drunk and it was their fault for crashing into the command shuttle, not mine and I shouldn't be stuck doing this stupid job damn it, it wasn't even my fault, it's not fair!
I should be organizing logistics on a DOMAIN NAVY SUPPLY WARSHIP, like I was TRAINED to do. A well-coordinated, well put together ship with doors that work properly, and pipes that don't burn you when you put your hands on them, and reactors that don't irradiate you when you stand in the wrong spot!
Instead, here I am, two centuries in the future. Without a country, or family, or friends, rearranging proverbial deck chairs on ships that are not so much spacefaring vessels as they are LOOSE ASSEMBLIES OF SCRAP METAL.
Come work for Hallard Expeditionary. Or don't, I guess. I don't care.

Might I suggest you keep a eye to the beasts you encounter on your journey? Our records on natural philosophy have been quite out of date for years now, just last week i encountered two occultists discussing the "Animalium Historia" as though it were a trustworthy source and not antiquated pseudo-occultism. Oh and please keep yourself safe on your path it would be a shame to lose a third High Occultist this year
A noble request my esteemed patronage. The beasts of Ymir have illuded classification for many years now. However, I am trained in the new art of "Taxonomy" and may be able to sort the myriad beasts into "Noble Houses" of related creatures. The 'Animalium Historia' was a noble task, yet it was written without the modern divisions of the animal kingdom in mind. I plan on using it as a starting point for my research. The path ahead of me is dangerous, but your entourage will protect me from the horrors of these lands. I assure you, unlike your previous two, I will not fail in the same ways. In fact, I trained under a Bloodkin master in the ways of the dagger, and of the beast. On my journeys, i will be passing through our Northern Prairie, the Ocular Wetlands, Barrier Forest, and finally the Bladed Prairie to directly catalog the Empire of the Sun's capital. Without any stops, this shall take 14 days. With delays, expect it a month or so. - Threehigh, your loyal High Occultist
When writing fictional languages, people tend to either have fairly standardized languages (everyone who speaks Language A speaks basically the same version of it, everyone who speaks Language B speaks basically the same version of it) or there are some regional/class-based accents, but there are a lot of other opportunities to do fun and interesting things with language in spec fic:
Word usage that differs by language, class, region, religion, etc. Think: pop vs soda or lift vs elevator
Differing homophones by accent. Think: Mary-merry-marry merger, pin-pen merger
Mutual unintelligibly of dialects. Think: regional dialects of Arabic
Mutual intelligibility of spoken languages/dialects but unintelligibly of signed languages (or vice versa). Think: American vs British English and ASL vs BSL
Divergent languages in former colonies or geographically separate areas. Think: Brazilian Portuguese vs Portuguese in Portugal
Pidgins, creoles, and hybrid languages. Think: Spanglish, Singlish, Nigerian Pidgin
