Hi do you by chance have any prompts for describing the city (especially at night)? I'm looking for like a futuristic fantasy setting if that makes sense. Thanks!
Describing a City at Night
-> feel free to edit as you see fit.
The city glowed with neon veins, casting a strange, electric light over towering spires that scraped the sky. Holographic advertisements danced across windows while streams of fog curled through alleyways like rivers of light. Above, drones drifted lazily, their shadows weaving patterns on the streets below, creating an endless maze of pulsing, glowing reflections.
The skyline stretched sharp and unbroken, towers of glass and steel rising in clean, geometric lines against the sky. Windows glowed softly, each one a story of someone working late or an empty office left on standby.
In the dead of night, the city seemed to take on a different rhythm: quiet but with an underlying hum of energy. Few people walked the streets, but the occasional flicker of a phone screen or quiet murmur from an all-night café hinted at life. The shadows of the alleys were cut by security lights, giving them a strobe-lit effect, while the dull glow from rooftop gardens and balconies softened the city’s sharp edges.
A canal snaked through the heart of the city, the water dark and reflecting neon signs from towering skyscrapers above. Sleek boats glided quietly, transporting passengers between stops along the waterfront, each boat’s headlights cutting clean lines through the night. Pedestrians strolled along the edge, pausing to take photos or enjoy the city’s lights reflected in the gentle ripples below.
Even at 3 a.m., the city streets were alive, the constant flow of traffic muted yet steady as it moved beneath rows of LED streetlights. All-night coffee shops and convenience stores dotted the blocks, their windows spilling soft light onto the sidewalk. Pedestrians, many lost in their own world of screens and earbuds, walked with purpose, the occasional laughter or conversation blending into the endless hum of the city’s heartbeat.

I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you. I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! FUCK!
@vero-valzer as Taako the Wizard from The Adventure Zone
Realized Tumblr and its smol but rad and dedicated TAZ Fandom might be the right place to share my Taako cosplay that I'm proud of and really enjoy wearing. 🌂✨️💖
These pics span multiple years and multiple outings, featuring a few different iterations on this cosplay at this point—from conventions to Ren Faires.
It has filled my heart with glee every time I heard someone gasp and go, "Is that Taako? From T.V.?!" which gave me the opportunity to spin around and say, "Why, yeeeeeees~! ✨️" in my best Taako impression or give a tip-o'-the-hat and wave and get to see people's eyes light up and smiles spread across their faces. 💖
#it always surprises me that people recognize a cosplay of a character that's based in a podcast that officially ended years ago#maybe the graphic novels are helping keep it around and keep interest in the Balance arc alive?#i have a blast cosplaying Taako and get so excited when people realize who I'm cosplaying#gonna hand out plastic “jewelry box” macarons with lil star beads in 'em at some future Ren Faire when trading trinkets! Just you wait!!!#surprised at how many people recognized Taako and how many TAZ cosplayers i continue to see--especially at an anime-centric con this year?!#pleasant surprises all-around honestly#wearing Taako as a cosplay helps me feel a bit more confident and like I am allowed to be Just A Silly Lil Guy (within reason of course)#yeah i get the feeling he's going to continue to be a repeating cosplay for me. prob will continue to iterate on it (new pants--longer wig?#the adventure zone#TAZ#the adventure zone: balance#taz balance#TAZ taako#taako#taako taaco#taako cosplay#crossplay#TAZ cosplay#ren faire#Renaissance Faire#comic convention#anime convention#umbra staff#bureau of balance#Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire#Emerald City Comic Con#Sakura Con#Sakura-Con#my cosplay#vero-valzer cosplays

‼️ THE UNIVERSE FRIDAY PODCAST WILL BE ON BREAK FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER‼️
it's deadline season, friends, and i simply cannot make time to record and edit episodes of the podcast right now, sorry to anyone who is disappointed :,]
universe friday podcast will resume when i am free of the shackles of universecity whenever that will be in december... it's not gone forever, i swear!!
excerpts will continue as normal. they will absolutely be shorter and probably very lazy and not good but know that they were written in maybe 20 mins just to get something out there T-T, the ongoing lore will probably be unnecessarily extended cause i just don't have time to work out the lil bits and bobs of the plot, instead i will be spending 8 hours on a essay most likely <3
if you have any questions or things to send me, i'll still be able to reply to my ask box, just might be slower than usual.
thank u kind people, i will see u when i return !

I love that they've been able to enjoy the festival together! I saw another post where someone mentioned they saw Jared and Gen holding hands as they walked by!
