[id: tweet from Lydia Sigwarth, @LibraryLydia: when you were 11 did you hand-write 3 chapters lf the first book of a planned trilogy and then completely forget about it until you discovered the notebook as an adult and were horrified or were you normal. End id]

#no but i did basically the worldbuilding wquovalent of that #i wrote like 6 handwritten back to back pages about a fantasy world(s) going into extreme detail about dwarves and elves and dragons #the dragons were really interesting. a lot of them were kinda based really deeply into their elements and were not based in research but #had very specific advantages/disadvantages much like real life animals #i left my notebook at the place i live but im visiting home rn but lemme try to remember #it was stuff like certain dragons being able to hear within certain ranges and how their cultures would develop around that #water dragons i think were deaf but had sensitivities to water currents so a their language was based around movement/gestures in the water #earth dragons were blind but sensitive to noise and could hear higher pitches compared to other dragons #a lot of my elves/dwarves were traditional #dwarves lived underground elves in trees #but dwarves to me had a very big respect/interest in medicine because living in close cramped limited airway spaces would really impact #health/hygiene #plagues and such would be devastating in that environment. not to mention rockslides/cave collpases #elves were long lives but their craftmanship impressive because it had to last a long time. lifetime guarantee from an elven craftsman like #thats amazing if you think about it #also i say world(s) because my ultimate goal was to make a medieval fantasy scifi. somehow #theres also a lot of. deeply misguided stuff in that journal. some very interesting ideas though #i enjoy rereading it #sadly i never got around to thinking about a vampire world 😔 it was ln the list tho
