im gonna fucking explode dude how do you write compelling monster species bullshit
#dry heaving rn every time i wanna try figuring this out#yes this is for lucius' story#yes this is because of an old story i made years ago that im still clinging to with my dear life#i cant decide if it would be more interesting if these fuckers were like#man made or naturally occuring#cuz if theyre man made they can build up for some sick confrontation n stuff and i can write more about how lucius' involvement#dw hes not the big bad or anything he just stuck his nose places he shouldnt have#hence the accident#anyway the problem there is it would become really convoluted really quickly if im not carefully#and im not usually carefully#i like to throw things against walls and hoping it would stick#then refining what stuck#so#yeaj#if they were naturally occurring it would be an easy out but the big problem comes up: the biology of everything else in this world#bro im already suffering in my current biology class i cant handle making up fictional and theoretical adaptations of regular animals to#explain how theyre still alive despite the monsters of the world#β€œoh but vinnie! you can make the monsters only target humans!”#we dont give humans enough credit for how smart we are#we would probably quickly adapt to smth like that#if they would adapt and evolve just as quickly then that would be concerning but it may get too convoluted#again#secret third thing: base them on folk lore and make them into evolved versions of them#a little easier to figure stuff out cuz theres already writings about them#however id still have the same problem as if they were just naturally occuring#i might be thinking about this all too much#but this is just how i am with world building#i want everything to make sense and have a reason and to be as#β€œrealistic”#ig
