[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[squuote]

anyone else have specific albums they like to listen to but only on certain days/times/months/etc? like there is just some songs that don’t hit the same unless I’m listening to them on certain days n such. I love you first glass beach album but you sound the best when I’m listening to you on friday

[bloodsbane]

awesome well now that i have been blessed with this power im going to make the poll ive wanted to make for ages because this is something that im really truly curious about.

hello my dear followers, if you see this PLEASE vote and let me know:

one of my fav aspec community things is when a bunch of aspecs try to dissect and understand allo behavior. it’s like a group of scientists looking at lab data and trying to figure out Why

"Who are your creative inspirations" ummm my friends. who else

[cashmere-caveman]

hi i just finished the first five episodes of house of the dragon and i am so so obsessed w the whole family and love as rot and sickness theme it is done so well!

also hello costume department i see the byzantine influences and i hear you. lovely. the sets are all so beautiful but i truly wish that it was not so painfully obviously green screen every time they are on a boat but what can u do! at least the dragons look mostly fine even if the sound design could be cooler and/or more creative but ig they were bound by whatever GoT did first and i havent watched that one yet so i'll ignore this.

anyway the gender of it all!!! every targaeryen ever has one (1) dream job and it is visenya but also every monarch has only ever been a king and the daughterson girlboy failchild dreamheir of it all....... so glad older rhaenyra will be played by a nonbinary actor bc yeah. yeah. exactly. but also milly alcock is so so good at the teenage defiance and the naivete and the simultaneous disillusionment with everything and the excitement about it like yes!!! yes!!!

i will not say anything abt any other characters or ny of the relationships lest this post get 3k words long but i am absolutely looking forward to watching it all unfold and unravel and also watching that old man literally fall apart. cinema <3

i WILL however say: ramin djawadi my eternal goat u managed to be my most played artist back in 2017 when i wasnt even watching GoT just bc ur music goes so fucking hard and u've done it again. idk if i correctly connected the dots but the one melody which i am p sure is rhaenyras theme is so delicious mwah. u will end up on my spotify wrapped again beloved ♡

[alabaster-moon]

I am so sorry to the summer I turned pretty girlies but I’ve seen the trailer everywhere against my will in my fyp and this dude walks up to who I assume is the main character, stares at her and like a dog wags his head to let the water from his shower splash on her. Bath water. Absolutely vile.

Anyone else really dread the start of a new life series? Don't get me wrong I loved watching secret life (only one I've seen lol) and I was around when double life and limited life came out but idk something about the anticipation, how much the fandom freaks out, just knowing how much angst I'm gonna be subjected to (and guys I Iove angst) really stresses me out?

[magicaldreamfox1]

im like waughhgghg i need to gif i should gif more it'll keep the fandom alive and then when i finally post a gifset the whole rest of the fandom is like hm. we kinda hate this sorry

I am high and just remembered a commercial for teeth whitening that focused on a girl who was talking to her friend and said "I kept getting pedicures trying to pick up guys, but do guys say 'I was blown away by her sparkly toes'..." and I was wondering if (excluding foot fetish people) people found it attractive when people got their toe nails painted.

For more detail on realistic biomes, maybe check out Artifexian! These videos were helpful for me :]

If you're at all interested in more in-depth worldbuilding, I've included a link below the cut; keep in mind however that "being more detailed" doesn't automatically mean "good". If you don't want to get into the nitty gritty, more power to ya!

Artifexian is, in general, a great resource if you want to get more in-depth on worldbuilding! His Worldbuilder's Log series goes into INTENSE detail on creating a scientifically plausible planet, complete with a star, orbit, moon(s), and other planets! He's designed the series to be accessible to people with no prior experience, so you should be able to follow along, even if you nearly failed high school physics like I did.

Since the series is so in-depth he's still on the 'planetbuilding' stage, and hasn't gotten into details like language, culture, etc. In the meantime, he has older videos that cover stuff like conlanging, though they may be less detailed than the Worldbuilder's Log series. There's also a ton of conlanging guides on youtube; I personally have used Biblaridion's "How to Make a Language" series myself :]

Again, this level of detail isn't needed for, I'd say, MOST works (unless you can organically bring up stuff like the mass of the sun in your project). I like getting into the little details because, well, I just find it fascinating! If you don't, then you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. Play to your interests :]

I'm not kidding when I say worldbuilding is extremely easy and fun, you can make easily all sorts of new fantasy worlds on like half an hour, follow this guide:

take a rectangle, draw a line through the middle, that's your equator, draw another two lines south and north, those are your tropics, draw another two lines further north (you can see a real world map to guide yourself), those are your arctic/antarctic circles

Draw continents, any shape you want, it's better to combine large soft blobs (like Africa or South America) with coastlines full of peninsulas and islands (like Europe or South Asia). Draw some island chains in between where you feel it's appropiate. Some inland seas like the Mediterranean are good too.

Decide where you will place mountain ranges. In real life, they are where oceanic-continental plates (Andes) or continental-continental plates (Himalayas, Alps), collide. These are very important.

Place rivers, just the most important ones. The places where you place big river systems are gonna be big plains.

Now, the fun part. With your first step, you've already decided where arctic, temperate, and tropical climates are there. You can mark it as letters in your map. Mountain ranges, of course, are colder.

Here's the tricky part: vegetation: vegetation mostly follows precipitation, and precipitation is mostly decided by altitude and distance from the ocean. The interior of your continents should be dry with plains and deserts; the coasts should be rainy with forests and plains. But remember, if you have a mountain range, that's a rain shadow! Picture the wind coming from the ocean with rain, and it should get less rainy when it "clashes" with a mountain range, with the other side a desert.

Deserts are tricky to place, but as a quick cheat, you can place them in your tropic lines. They can even border oceans: see Australia and the Kalahari.

WHEN IN DOUBT, LOOK AT SIMILAR AREAS ON A REAL WORLD VEGETATION/CLIMATE MAP. THIS IS WHY DRAWING THE EQUATOR AND THE TROPICS IS SO IMPORTANT AND SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST STEP ALWAYS.

Now you already have a quick and dirty vegetation map, you're halfway there! Don't worry if there are some doubtful areas, real world geography can be weird.

Now for the REAL fun stuff (if you aren't having fun already, I sure am): making civilizations!

You have to decide center of origins for your domesticated crops and animals. Basically, every early civilization had its own "package" of staple crops and animals that are still used today.

With this, you can decide:

the primary civilizations of your world

roughly how different animals and vegetation are distributed, if you want an Earth-like world (for an quicker method, you can apply the biogeographical realms to your own continents as you wish)

A quick cheat sheet of centers of origin, what they have, and where you can place them:

(this is just a quick thing, do read the article it's so much better)

Middle Eastern: wheat, barley, cows, sheep, goats. Place them in a dry area with lots of rivers (the Fertile Crescent!)

East Asia: rice, soybean, oranges, pigs, horses. Place it in a rainy temperate area bordering the tropics.

Mesoamerica: Corn, beans, pumpkin, chilli, tomato. Place it in a dry area near the tropics.

Andes: Potato, quinoa, llamas. Place it in a mountain range.

Tropical South America: manioc, peanuts, pineapple. In the tropics.

Tropical Asia: Rice, banana, sugar cane, beans. In the tropics, again.

or, just straight up use this fucking map, it's so much better:

You can mix and match the crops, animals, and such as you wish, and you should definitively read the wiki page on center of origins and see some other less known crops.

If you have non-human civilizations, of course they'll have different packages. Carnivore or subterranean civilizations might be very different. But at this point, your imagination should be flying already and I don't have to hold your hand here.

Now, you have a rough map of your world at the dawn of agriculture! Congratulations! Depending on the historical period you're setting your world, you can start to draw countries and civilizations. This is where it gets complicated again. I might have to make a part two... But just with this, you already have a new world to use as you wish.

I'll make a worked example later to show you how easy it is if you don't believe me.
