#history map

Here's what I've been up to lately! Three years after I created the original version, here's a revamp of the first planet I mapped out for @jayrockin's "Runaway to the Stars" project, the homeworld of their Centaur aliens. This post covers Phase One: Geology.

Firstly, the Equirectangular elevation maps with and without the color gradient layer, and tectonic plate map. This color gradient marks sea level, of course, and while there are inland areas that are *also* below that elevation, I have yet to determine which of those basins have lakes and seas therein, and how their shorelines compare; *that* will be seen once I figure out the climate : ) As for the Plate map, most of the smaller, oblong plates without any rift boundaries represent island chains or continent fragments that accreted onto larger landmasses; discretely marking those was helpful for placing and shaping the mountain ranges.

Next, the Poles-Centered Perspective maps, made possible with Photopea's Polar Coordinates tool. The planet's Southern hemisphere, centered on the south pole, is seen at left, and its Northern hemisphere is seen at right. Like the previous set of three, this set includes the color elevation map, greyscale elevation map, and solid color tectonic plates.

Last of all, the basis for the planet's current appearance: it's tectonic history! These gifs, in six frames, cover about 200 million years of continental drift, starting with the breakup of two Supercontinents, and was primarily achieved in Blender. This isn't my first time trying to reconstruct a tectonic history, but it *is* my first time doing so this quickly and efficiently, thanks to the process I developed here using this planet's continents as a test case.

There will be more phases in this project completed and shared in the coming months, thanks for checking out this one! Also, I've already shared these maps on Reddit, where you should be able to see them in even higher resolution. Photopea and Blender, 2025

The True Size of Africa! The African continent has a land area of 30.37 million sq km (11.7 million sq mi), enough to fit in the U.S., China, India, Japan, Mexico, and many European nations, combined.

Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app.

This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.”

BEHOLD MY WARES!

I'm nearly $500 short on rent for June. If anyone wants to buy a map or tip me, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm a small (miniscule) indie writer with too many migraines and not enough income. If you like what I do here, check out my Ko-fi and consider supporting me. It helps keep the lights on and the cats fed!

My shop currently features modern TTRPG maps and samples for a TTRPG I'm working on, with fiction coming soon.

Subscribers get access to Work in Progress Wednesday, plus previews of the scripts for Stellar Comics, early access to my alternate-history short story series Hentaigana, and other previews.

Don't let pink washing get to your head. Queer people live everywhere, including in Gaza, where they are currently being massacred.

images are from the tiktok link i attached, there's even more there.

What is the weirdest looking reblog map you've seen

I’m not sure tbh. Some unusual occurrences I’ve seen, though, are:

• maps that are basically just a really long strand of reblog after reblog

• when the main post has been deleted and causes everything to be floaters

(these are not great examples as the original posts weren’t deleted, but they show the general idea)

• a popular blog (or blogs) making a post and continually reblogging it, resulting in a chain of very concentrated reblog-bubbles

• peenor
