#[we] have the sun in common

how do you come up with the ways cultures in your setting stylize people/animals/the world in general in their artwork, i.e. jewlery, rock carvings, statues, etc? Each culture in your world seems to have a very unique "art style" and I love it a lot - makes them seem that much more 'real'. This is something I struggle with a lot in my own worldbuilding and I'd love to pick your brain if possible 😁
I think a starting point is to have a research process based in the material realities of the culture you're designing for. Ask yourself questions like:
Where do they live? What's the climate/ecosystem(s) they are based in? What geographic features are present/absent?
What is their main subsistence method? (hunter gatherer, seasonal pastoralist, nomadic pastoralist, settled agriculturalist, a mix, etc)
What access to broader trade networks do they have and to whom? Are there foreign materials that will be easily accessible in trade and common in use, or valuable trade materials used sparingly in limited capacities?
Etc
And then do some research based on the answers, in order to get a sense of what materials they would have routine access to (ie dyes, metal, textiles, etc) and other possible variables that would shape how the art is made and what it's used for. This is just a foundational step and won't likely play much into designing a Style.
If you narrow these questions down very specifically, (ie in the context of the Korya post- grassland based mounted nomads, pastoralist and hunter-gatherer subsistence, access to wider trade networks and metals), you can direct your research to specific real world instances that fit this general idea. This is not to lift culturally specific concepts from the real world and slap them into your own setting, but to notice commonalities this lifestyle enforces - (ie in the previous example- mounted nomadic peoples are highly mobile and need to easily carry their wealth (often on clothing and tack) therefore small, elaborate decorative artwork that can easily be carried from place to place is a very likely feature)
For the details of the art itself, I come up with loose 'style guides' (usually just in my head) and go from there.
Here's some example questions for forming a style (some are more baseline than others)
Are geometric patterns favored? Organic patterns? Representative patterns (flowers, animals, stars, etc)? Abstract patterns?
Is there favored material(s)? Beads, bone, clay, metals, stones, etc.
When depicting people/animals, is realism favored? Heavy stylization? The emotional impression of an animal? Are key features accentuated?
How perspective typically executed? Does art attempt to capture 3d depth? Does it favor showing the whole body in 2 dimensions (ie much of Ancient Egyptian art, with the body shown in a mix of profile and forward facing perspective so all key attributes are shown)? Will limbs overlap? Are bodies shown static? In motion?
Does artwork of people attempt to beautify them? Does it favor the culture's conception of the ideal body?
Are there common visual motifs? Important symbols? Key subject matters?
What is the art used for? Are its functions aesthetic, tutelary, spiritual, magical? (Will often exist in combination, or have different examples for each purpose)
Who is represented? Is there interest in everyday people? Does art focus on glorifying warriors, heroes, kings?
Are there conventions for representing important figures? (IE gods/kings/etc being depicted larger than culturally lesser subjects)
Is there visual shorthand to depict objects/concepts that are difficult to execute with clarity (the sun, moon, water), or are invisible (wind, the soul), or have no physical component (speech)?
Etc
Deciding on answers to any of these questions will at least give you a unique baseline, and you can fill in the rest of the gaps and specify a style further until it is distinct. Many of these questions are not mutually exclusive, both in the sense of elements being combined (patterns with both geometric and organic elements) or a culture having multiple visual styles (3d art objects having unique features, religious artwork having its own conventions, etc).
Also when you're getting in depth, you should have cultural syncretism in mind. Cultures that routinely interact (whether this interaction is exchange or exploitation) inevitably exchange ideas, which can be especially visible in art. Doing research on how this synthesizing of ideas works in practice is very helpful- what is adopted or left out from an external influence, what is retained from an internal influence, what is unique to this synthesis, AND WHY. (I find Greco-Buddhist art really interesting, that's one of many such examples)
Looking at real world examples that fit your parameters can be helpful (ie if I've decided on geometric patterns in my 'style guide', I'll look at actual geometric patterns). And I strongly encourage trying to actually LEARN about what you're seeing. All art exists in a context, and having an understanding of how the context shapes art, how art does and doesn't relate to broader aspects of a society, etc, can help you when synthesizing your own.
#I have a solid baseline because I like learning about history so don't do this like. Full research process every time. It's just the gist#of what the core process is.#I think I've gotten a similar question about clothing in the past that I never answered (sorry) so yeah this applies to that as well#Though that involves a heavier preliminary research end (given there are substantially more practical concerns that shape the#making of clothing- material sources they have access to (plant textile? wool? hide? etc). The clothing's protective purpose (does#it need to protect from the sun? wind? mild cold? extreme cold?). Etc#Also involves establishing like. Beauty conventions. Gendered norms of dress. Modesty conventions. Etc#I think learning about the real world and different cultures across history is like. The absolute most important thing for good#worldbuilding. And this means LEARNING learning. Having the curiosity to learn the absolute myriad of Things People Do#and Why We Do Them and how we relate to shared aspects of our world. The commonalities and differences. I think this is like...#Foundational to having the ability to synthesize your own rather than just like. copy-pasting concepts at random

work rant
I work with a man who likes to argue EVERYTHING I say because he thinks I'm young, which makes me dumb. I have been trying to find a way to explain this to people because it's exceptionally frustrating but every example always ends with people like, "well, I kind of see his point" which is infuriating, first of all.
But TODAY. TODAY I had to spend TEN MINUTES listening to him argue with me what constituted a "work week". Here I was, young and naive and brainless, thinking it was Sat-Sun. 40 hours within that window, each week.
Thank god he was here to argue passionately its actually PAY weeks and we need to be adjusting weeks every PAY CYCLE to see if staff are meeting their hours.
Why make something simple and easy to understand when we can make it overly complicated and convoluted just so he can be right????
#genuinely i dread having to talk to him because its ALWAYS like this#“Well actually-” OH MY GOD PLEASE just PLEASE can we be rational???#HR is saying a standard work week is sat-sun and also like...common sense dictates this#He was like i can make a calendar for the year so everyone knows WHY?#it is ALWAYS like this- literally I need to communicate one small thing to him and it becomes this 30 minute lecture#this weird power struggle because he doesnt like that im his supervisor i just#i need a drink

What are some tropes you guys dislike in Choices?
I personally don’t enjoy the Chosen One trope where the MC is powerful and special for the sake of being powerful and special. Wasn’t super fond of it in Hero, but I think that’s just because we never got any further lore or clarification on the MC’s origins since the series ended abruptly.
Loathed it in The Elementalists, though.
#MC was born one minute after midnight and Atlas was born one minute after#and that makes them have sun and moon attainment respectively#like look#I get that those exact circumstances of birth probably aren’t THAT common#but I doubt that’s the only way to get sun and moon attainment#and then they’re suddenly attuned to all elements! and then oh wow hey guys guess what? your mom’s a source! wow!#honestly the MC and Atlas’s story and origins are most of what I dislike about TE#the rest is enjoyable#it really just felt like they were Chosen Ones just for the sake of having Chosen Ones#meanwhile in endless summer#the MC’s true nature isn’t revealed until the VERY END of the series#they could maybe fall under this trope#but the story does such a good job of making them ordinary and not at all groundbreaking#and instead focuses on how the MC enhances their friends’ lives and works to give them faith and courage in themselves#choices stories you play#playchoices#choices stories we play#pixelberry#pixelberry studios#playchoices fandom#choices stories you play fandom#choices stories we play fandom

Karlach and Sera are the "they put us in different universes because they knew we would be unstoppable as best friends" kinda characters, methinks
#listening to Sam talking about Karlach being the working class kid unlike some tories#just brings up some thoughts#listen - helping little people? check#class solidarity - check#would Karlach like pranks and chaos - I bet she would#definitely would agree that people need to lighten the fuck up#Sera can also be on fire via the tempest potions so that battlefield would be crazy#tieflings are not qunari but a big buff woman with horns is a big buff woman with horns you dig#(so they might also kiss about it if both aren't taken)#also they would have damn competitions over who swears more#(we all know Sera would say 'fuck' much more often if DAI allowed her to)#they would 100% come up with the same 'what if I throw you' - 'NO how about I sit on your shoulders instead' strategy#like Sera and Bull do#also Sera hears about Gortash ONE time and that man turns into a fucking hedgehog with arrows for needles#consequently anyone who's nasty towards her gets yeeted into the sun#there's probably something to be said for tieflings also being a looked-down-upon race but I don't think they're#comparable to DA elves in any way enough to draw any parallels there#I'm definitely not qualified either way#ah right they're both kinda convinced they're broken and unloveable so that's. a fun common ground we (they) do not talk about#also tbh I think they could both stand each other's tempers pretty well#anyway idk that's my vision

series intro - BIRTHPLACE
genre: space opera, sci-fi, litfic (a bit)
status: drafting / “outlining” book 2/3.
pov: third person limited, present tense.
tropes / themes: the unbearable weight of mortality, the terrifying realization of Want, space lesbians, growing up / apart / back, lgbtq+, exes to rivals to whatever it is austrakit are currently, found family, finding oneself, (space) war era, ambiguity, subjectivity, capital p Pining (+ more tba)
summary: After finding out her ex-girlfriend is training a ten men crew for what is essentially a suicide mission to map a planet Earth that’s been left behind, Kit Nikon desperately tries to give her life a new meaning.
tags (more TBA): #: birthplace #[we] have the sun in common
Space station gardens, neon green & blue, roots taking place, the smell of damp earth, bright unflickering lights, starfighters, healing bruises, hands against cold metal, sea water, warm sunshine, home in the valley of someone else’s ribs.
characters:
nalkita “kit” nikon (23 - she/her?) | 🌱
emigrate, novo amor
de selby (part 1), hozier
glossover, afternoon bike ride / lowswimmer
strangers, ethel cain
austra andante (23 - she/her) | 🌊
repeat until death, novo amor
i wouldn’t ask you, clairo
the end of love, florence + the machine
there’s nothing left for you, mitski
excerpt:
To know something is to be in constant battle with it: the plaguing of a garden, trying to disinfect a never-healing wound. Being near Austra, hands dripping with blood that never belonged to either of their bodies, means Nalkita has to fight against her own humanity, fight against desire. Close up her throat so the words I wish you would, Lieutenant don’t come out, raw and real. Kit understands so little about herself and knows Austra so much — the feeling of her expressive eyebrows against a fingertip, the weight of every responsibility she carries. Who is she to add another sandbag to Austra’s already aching shoulders but a soldier, a sinning one, at that? Refusing to give up on something that was never hers to begin with.
rambles / more about the series under the cut! :D
this was born from a fanfic/short story i wrote 2 years ago when i wasn’t ready to face what came after the events of what is now book 1 of the birthplace series. i took inspiration from novo amor’s birthplace album, which re-enlightened me about the meaning of “home”. i still hold it extremely close to my heart and will forever.
for book 1 of this, “astro-garden”, the journey kit goes on is extremely personal, quite lonely, quite difficult. titles never meant something to her until austra got one. there’s not much i can say except kit is a firecracker of a person and she’s going to need a lot of luck (she’s strong, she’ll manage)!
book 2 “roots in infertile soil” is as chaotic as i can possibly make a book. there’s more pining (for reasons...), more action, more drama... the characters are all a joy to write and flesh out, and the mercury ii crew are the type of found family that i’ve always loved to read about <3 i’ll introduce each and every one of them with tags in the near future so stay tuned for that!!! :)
book 3 is still in its early earlyyy development stages but hopefully i’ll have something cool to say about it sooner rather than later !
feel free to ask me about anything birthplace-related seeing as this is the only project i am currently (actively) working on!!! i would love love loooove to chat more about secondary characters, locations (the spaceships are Alive), discuss the plot / themes more in depth, etc!
i will be making a taglist with everyone who wants to get updates from this (i'll post more abt that later!) so send me an ask if you’d like to join it :D !
thank you for reading this (kinda long?) intro post for my silly little still unwritten novels hehe! i hope to hear more from u soon
#: birthplace#austra#nalkita#writing wip#wip intro#my writing#writeblr#writerblr#scifi#space opera#lesbian#woooo its here!!!!#will likely be talking abt this series for a long time#cuz im a slow writer!!!!#but!!!!!#i am soooo excited to tell everyone everything abt it#excited to reenter the writing community on here <3#i love them.. little lesbians#austrakit#[we] have the sun in common

if i head the words "jesus" "sacrifice" and "himself" in a sentence again ill scream.
#sorry im back in my anti organized religion specifically white nationalist christianity arc#im always there ofc#but i remembered if any spiritual/religious label applies to me its satanist#with zen and jungian mystic elemts#i use zen as a catchall for the perceived commonalities btwn buddhism hindusm and taoism#but at the heart of it all#im frsure a satanist. not that i necessarily align with tst in every way but#call it my aquarian nature enhanced by my capricorn elements buuut#(my mecury and moon are cap)#(enhancing my aqua sun venus uranus neptune)#but the heart of satanism is the contrarian nature of it.#it is literally an idea that combats common christian interpretation of the bible and the institutions that follow it in the U.S#ultimately jesus didnt sacrifice himself and lucifer did not want to be controlled paternally. even yahweh is flawed. he is an archetype#personally i feel in the human consciousness yahweh/father god/jupiter ETCCCCC learned from that#and his golden child... he probably didnt want to lose another child.

Why do people love you?
Tagged by: Not 'tagged', but @rolliesmuses' comment if he gets ' because your their sun ' it's rigged made me laugh really hard and I had to test it.
Tagging: Look, I think it's safe to say we're all stealing it from each other.
because you're their anchor
how lucky are your friends, to have you- a beacon and an anchor? you're the person who can keep them grounded, who can make sure they are safe and sound. people love you because they feel like they can trust you, because you're reliable and sincere. you take care of them in a way that makes them all tingly and warm inside; in the darkness of the night, you're the blinding light that brings them to shore. i'm sorry if sometimes they take you for granted. if you were a drop in the ocean, i'd spend two eternities just to find you and choose you.
#(It has been a solid three minutes and I'm still giggling over this#is this the tacari we were denied??)#(because the meme is so soft there weren't options like 'i have no friends' so the result was always going to be skewed#but hey apparently he got the rarest answer)#(also; the sun answer was the second rarest! The moon is supposedly the most common!)#(look at that face. A grounding beacon of a friend; he is)

How do i find lesbians
Like i really want a partner but I'm shit at dating apps and i feel like im too weird for normies. I'm great at making friends with guys which means occasionally one of them will make moves on me but like. Im not into dudes i dont think? So i need to make friends with lesbians. Specifically livestock lesbians, bc i want to live on essentially a farm. Like i want chickens and goats and i wouldn't mind a horse.
I feel like im stuck bc i want to get a house in the near future but i dont want to live alone. And none of my friends would want to live with me. So i need a partner (or two). But how do i even start to find them...
#M#Not to mention get together with them#I also have such weird 'requirements' i almost feel like it must be a tumblr person?#By requirements i mean I'd rather they'd be familiar with fandom and fanfic and such#And if they would have grown up on tumblr like me we would have that base in common#So not a 'requirement' but more of a 'i dont think anyone outside of this site would get me that way someone on this site would'#I've tried tinder bumble and happy pancake#None have lead anywhere#Okay it feels really weird tagging this post with the swedish tags but maybe someone will be interested lol#I live in svealand and work in Stockholm if anyone also wants to see if we might have anything#Anyway short about me: i like nerdy things like larping and cons. Gardening and being cozy. Creating things (sewing drawing building etc)#I like hanging out with animals my friends and my family (especially my niece she's about a year and a half)#Uuuh i love the sun

Has someone done a post yet, comparing Benoit Blanc to Sherlock Holmes?
You know, how they both "lose it" between cases, have a "certain primness of dress", how they are kind to people who genuinely need their help, how they revile the cruel, how they know justice is not always the law and will act accordingly...
(...also how they use last names with their partners... )
And of course, the connection between the two universes through Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...
Yes, if there's a post about that, point me to it.
#someday we will find out Blanc's Philip is a doctor and I will scream and fling myself into the sun#benoit blanc#sherlock holmes#the connection between the two universes through kareem abdul jabbar#glass onion#i just think they have a lot in common in a good way#knives out#arthur conan doyle#kareem abdul jabbar#acd holmes

Hello, Toni!! <3 what is this Y/N the third AU that you speak of? I don't think I hear of it.
0w0GI!!!! Okokok so basically it’s an AU I came up with based on Lupin the 3rd!!!
Y/N is Lupin, Sun is Jigen, Moon is Goemon, Eclipse is Fujiko and Vanessa is Inspector Zenigata!!! Vanny is here too in place of Moneta (who is Zenigata but. He went villain mode for a sec)
Also I’m not good at describing personalities please bear with me</3
Y/N is a wealthy, cunning, master of disguise, violence enjoying thief, stealing mainly for the thrill of it! But they have a heart of gold when it counts! Also goofy, they are goofy!!! They’re also stubborn and reckless. Over confident to the point where it puts other in harms way.
Sun is loyal, caring and easily entertained! But he does have a streak of cynicism. Over all though she’s just as intelligent and sensible! Also more professional than Y/N, but still goofy. He’s slow to anger, but his anger is as powerful as his namesake.
Moon is very prideful, and mostly collected. He feels emotions very strongly, but keeps a fair amount of the extent internally. He’s strict yet compassionate and exceedingly patient. Though, during a mission he can and will lose what composure he has to go gremlin mode (they do out outside of missions too, especially to fuck with Sun (Y/N usually joins Moon in these shenanigans)) He can be overly strict and close minded, things should be done his way, follow what he was taught. Be strictly aligned to tradition. He will exercise what he needs to for that to happen. There have been times where his virtue turns to sin, much to his regret.
Eclipse at his core has a heart of gold, though it’s rarely seen. She is a very cautious character with herself, with her moments of greed and some over-excitement. She’s frivolous and care-free all the same. He’s independent, determined and a trickster. She’ll lie as much as she needs to get where he needs to be, or get what he needs, she uses what she has to an advantage at the cost of having trouble trusting people. He’s not above being a little two-faced either.
Vanessa is clumsy and sensitive, but with a strong heart and resolve. Determined and impulsive, she’s outspoken. Her need for justice is what drives her. She’s calculated and competitive. Her borderline obsession with justice has put strain on her relationships, making her more or less alone. The people she works with admire her determination, her ethics and strength but with her focus on capturing Y/N, she would do anything for that to happen. Even a deal with the devil.
Overall I don’t really have a clear clear story in my head but it’s slowly coming together!
@basyacriptid MORE YN 3RD STUFF!!!!
Bonus doodle of Y/N and Vanessa!
#im taking a lot from the Lupin characters themselves but still taking from the many ways we see sun/moon/eclipse/ect#I feel like a lot of what I’ll do at first are screencap redraws#but it also makes me want to branch out just a bit#draw more cars since car chase scenes are pretty common in the shows/movies#same with more action orientated scenes in general#this will include weaponry! ofc there’s the sword but also different kinds of guns too#grhagrggagrhrhhagr I’m brainrotting so hard 0w0gi#ALSO!!!#I HAVE AN ASK TAG NOW!!!!#Leon/Toni’s Letters#Y/N the 3rd AU#god I’m gonna make it so Afton and Vanessa have some sort of Bill Cipher and Ford but. not like that#it makes sense in my head HANDJDJ

so i know i never ever talk about it ever but i grew up on a flower farm and it is so funny how people react when i tell them that. some people are surprised that flower farms are even a thing?? like im sorry did you think the florists have big secret meadows full of wildflowers with one big but inviting tree on the top of a small hill that they frolick through every morning, singing and letting butterflies land in their hair???? and honestly even people who aren’t shocked about the sheer existence of them sometimes gets a look where i can tell they’re Definitely imagining that meadow scene skdjksjd
#it’s not like that. like it’s still nice !!! but it’s hard work#and our harvesting season is nov-jan which is the height of summer here. in queensland the skin cancer capital of the world#it’s So hot and miserable skdhjsd when i started working the season i demanded to work in the shed bunching and packing#because you could Not make me go out in the sun in 30°s#also financially very stressful#we made all our money in those three months and it had to last the whole year. and the success of the season is at the whim of the weather#and one hail storm (pretty common in summer here) can ruin everything#im so glad my parents have moved to providing dried and shredded product for skincare#so it doesn’t matter if it gets hailed on/doesnt flower properly/looks bad

NGL ID BE FUCKING HAPPY TO TEACH MATH IN SCHOOL/UNI IF IT WOULDNT HAVE TO BE CHARITY BASED HELL TORTURE JAIL
seriously the amount of money you get as educator in any non-private education facility is laughable, while the responsibility and the amount of unnecessary paperwork is ridiculously abundant
also I want to teach HOW I THINK IS RIGHT not how some dude from the ministry told his secretary to interpret a century-old book on teaching monkeys use abacus. I spent a fucking decade learning and researching this, and you still don’t trust me to do this job??? Why you even funded my education then??? Why you bothered to issue me a PhD degree if you don’t trust I’m able to think independently? Why you specify you need a person of my qualifications if you actually want someone to just blindly follow a stupid rulebook???
because I refuse to ignore that different kids/adults inevitably have different learning needs and paces, and that the current math education is just stupid “learn by heart this table” nonsense with zero underlying context and concepts explained that is only focused on passing the following assessment and lacks the necessary applicability training
It breaks my heart to watch people claim they have dyscalculia and being unable to do math just of sheer fear of being called “stupid” all while they are easily manipulating large table data and performing complex matrix analysis in mind when it comes to video games or cross stitch or whatever their hobby is. Like, girl, dear, you’re not stupid and you don’t have dyscalculia, you’re traumatised and scared af of even trying to touch something that reminds you of your school math.
And I get it, it’s valid, but I promise it doesn’t have to affect your quality of life, math isn’t evil and you can still learn it easily enough and im here to help if you need it. You struggle with percents not because you’re dumb, but because you lack the context that it is just a different way of writing down a decimal proportion.
Now, what was it about that cookie dough you were so proud about yesterday? You said three cups of flour and one cup of milk right? I don’t have a cup, im gay, I have only this tekila shots, but ten of these is a cup I guess. So uhhhh how do we do this…
it’s 3:1 proportion right? So if I have three shoots of flour and one shot of milk it’s correct but won’t be enough for even a single cookie. But if I do this again (making it now 6 shots of flour and 2 shots of milk) it’s still the same proportion but amount is doubled, so it’s enough for a cookie now!
So, let’s do this again while we still have milk I guess haha… now it’s 75 shots of flour in this bowl and here is 25 shots of milk here. Yeah, looks good? Cool, it only took 100 shots to make this dough, less than an orgy and 25 of them were milk. So I guess your cookie dough is 25% milk huh?
See, it’s not that scary, you actually use it every day. Now, it wasn’t about the cookies, im sorry, we were actually mixing up a margarita, so slaaaaay queen and let’s proceed to the statistical analysis, so as you know already the Lebesgue integrals are-…
assume for the sake of this poll that the ubi is a comfortable living wage and that you can get a job in any field you’d like.
also if you picked ‘for another reason’ pls put why in the tags/comments im curious :]
