The Three Worlds

I got to a nasty bit of the Sketch of History where I have to explain the political and social developments of three different, borderline-independent cultural spheres at the same time, so I decided I would write a post complaining about the novan* cultural concept of the Worlds as an indirect explanation and apology. This has been a very bad introductory paragraph.

* The idea started developing as soon as the humans started mining the Asteroid Belt and noticed it took a long time to get letters to their loved ones; but only during the War Era, by which time the humans had left, did the divisions between Terranovo, the Moon, and the Belt become sharp enough that “the Three Worlds” entered common parlance.

Below the cut, in 1.5k words:

What exactly is a World, anyway?

Scientia is a solar system, Earth is a planet.

The Classical and Modern Three Worlds.

What exactly is a World, anyway?

To understand the Worlds, one has to understand the communication shortfalls that plague any civilization stretched over a distance larger than it can comfortably and swiftly travel. Worlds are defined by access to information, and their borders with one another are often rather fuzzy.

Think of the Roman Empire, where a message might take months to go from one side to the other and be, as a result, very out of date by the time it got there. The Moon and the Belt of the First- and Second-Academy eras were like that—despite sharing more or less the same culture and being part of a (mostly) contiguous political unit, the distance between them was so great that it made it very hard, or very time-consuming, to transmit messages from one side to the other. That’s your most connected kind of world.

Admittedly, that’s very close to the end of the weird spectrum of definitions that later novan public opinion draws a great big curly brace over and labels “worlds.” The boundaries between “multiple different worlds” and “one very large world” are fuzzy. Arguments can be and are made that the Moon and the Planet were one world until the Departure, and even your author, who does not agree with them, is a bit hesitant in labelling the mostly cohesive Roman Empire (…we’re assuming the Empire under the Four Good Emperors here, so they’re not at war with themselves) as multiple worlds.

Now think of the Roman Empire and Han China. These two are a good example of the second kind of world, and they’re like the Planet and the Belt were in the War Era—incredibly distant, rarely if ever meeting in person, but knowing of each other and trading, albeit indirectly.

The third kind of world, which one only ever knows about after the fact, is a complete informational impasse. Neither side knows the other exists, and they develop completely independent of one another culturally. You can guess what analogy I’d make here, right?

So, to recap:

A world is an informational and/or cultural sphere, usually defined by physical separation.

The most separated worlds can be compared to Eurasia/Africa and the Americas prior to 1492 and/or the Vikings. No information passes between one and the other, and neither is aware they’re not alone.

The middle type of world separation is like Han China and the Roman Empire. Each is aware the other exists and some information and trade can pass between them, but neither has much effect on the other. Interaction usually happens through independent intermediaries, who may alter information or just boldfacedly lie to suit their own ends.

The closest distinct worlds are within one large cultural sphere, like the Roman Empire, where information takes a very long time to pass from one end to the other. The boundaries between this and just being one very large world are blurry. (England and America at the time of the latter’s revolution would also qualify.)

No one actually distinguishes between these three categories, or has a rigid definition for what a world is anyway. The concept is entirely based on vibes. God I love pop geography.

Scientia is a solar system, Earth is a planet

I shall now get very distracted.

Boundaries between different analogies for the worlds on Earth are often indistinct, seeing as the worst barriers we as a species have between groups are oceans or a hell of a lot of landmass. The different worlds on a hell of a lot of landmass all kind of bleed together—if you went from al-Andalus to Kievan Rus’ in the twelfth century, you’d find (despite a distinctive cultural break between the Muslims and the Christians, and between various regions within Christendom) that every town you passed through was aware of the events in nearby towns. There would be no clear information barrier cleanly differentiating one world from another. There’s a reason novan scholars all but throw out applying the world framework to Earth.

Scientia isn’t like that. Its worlds don’t slowly peter out over thousands of inhabited miles; they terminate in massive physical gulfs.

From the jump, there’s a weeks-long gap between the Moon sending a courier ship out to the miners in the Asteroid Belt and it actually getting there, and although that gets better over time it never goes away. The Belt kept basically the Moon’s culture until the last century before Departure, when the Third Academy curled its limbs to its chest like a dying spider pursued more Lunar-centric policies that indirectly cut a bunch of mining companies loose. These loose mining companies turned into semi-independent proto-states, and the Belt for the first time developed a stable population of its own, not constantly cycling in and out of the Moon and keeping itself culturally Lunar.

There’s an atmosphere between the Moon and Terranovo, so, even though communication by radio or limited internet can go much faster, actual physical transit of people and goods is extremely difficult and costly. The transit difficulty meant Planetary cultures developed largely without the kind of Lunar hegemony the Belt had had, and Lunar discipline (the Moon still being the seat of government and, nominally, all power) in practice came down by ordering some other Planetary city to discipline the miscreant. The amount of information that could flow between the general populace of the Moon and the general populace on Terranovo was fairly small, but did exist under the Human Tenure. After the Departure and the beginning of the War Era, there stopped reliably being people at the government radio receivers on either end of the Planet/Moon divide and information ceased what trickle there had been. Pretty much only the richest merchants and their employees had any off-planet contact, and that was because they physically went there at great expense.

So, in short, Terranovo has an almost-impassable barrier between it and the Moon, and the Moon has between it and the Belt an inconveniently long travel time.

The Classical and Modern Three Worlds

The Classical Three Worlds, only thus named after the fact, are the Moon, the Planet, and the Asteroid Belt.

The Modern Three Worlds are Terranovo, Ilajn, and the Mining Belt (the Moon having been rendered uninhabitable after the Devastation).

Opinions differ on which world to slot the Armada (the Imperial spacefleet) into; it’s clearly a part of the Novan Imperium, which otherwise only exists on Terranovo, but there’s an atmosphere between the two and at times it acts like an independent country. Its cultural exchange is mostly with the Belt, with whom it has a centuries-old trading relationship in addition to, you know, generally being the local suzerain. Making matters worse, it has stiff regulations on what information can lawfully pass between it and all outsiders. If not for tradition, it would probably be considered a world of its own.

miscellaneous gideon related doodles ive been doing over the past few days bc my brainrot has set in and its unfortunately terminal. some things:

so ghost-eyes sticks around in gideons life, as do the other prison buddies of his. theyre actually a shockingly good influence. despite being willing to commit crimes whenever, they bring a sort of temperance to gideons more. insane thought processes that stops him from doing anything TOO horrible these days. ghost-eyes especially is his hench-uncle. hes a good egg

also some older gids doodles... he wasnt sure if the pines would ever want to hang out w him after the events of that summer but time smooths over some things. hes capable of being normal around her now but he'd be lying if he said he didnt still have a little flame in his heart when it came to mabel

also do you think he ever just remembers something he did as a kid and is like Hey What The Hell Was That About. because thats the funniest mental image to me. sitting up in bed and going 'ten years ago I made a giant robot'

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍��

More stuff I’ve been drawing. Since drawing these guys initially, I wanted to draw more of them just in little sketches, but didn’t have the time. But I remembered earlier this week after saying I didn’t know what to draw that I had these guys I wanted to draw, so I’ve sort of been drawing them on and off for the past week

I was planning on drawing more, but this is what I stuck with. Also sorry most of them are Dark Choco kids

So for some of these guys, I have thought about them more since their initial drawings, but didn’t know how to relay those details, so I’m making these sketches to tell

So first off for Mandel, I wanted to lean more into the “Stanley Parable narrator” angle and so now he has a British accent. However as stated, it’s fake. He does it because he thinks it makes him sound more refined and professional (I’m not too clear what his actual accent is, since I want it to be some sort of New York accent, but also I don’t think Almond or Timekeeper have New York accents. So I guess just, an American accent or something). However, when he gets nervous or shocked, he ends up slipping into his real accent before realizing his mistake and going back to the British. I was going to draw him with that shocked expression and slipping accent, but I couldn’t get the face to look right, so I didn’t

Also Mandel has gone from a weird cryptid to just sort of a weird guy that also controls time at his leisure. I imagine he likes to just mess with people and send them to other timelines just to see what happens, while also being a voice in their head watching from an unknown distance. But also they’re aware he’s just a dude (the people he sends I mean). I imagine the two he spends the most time around (as in the ones he likes to mess with) are Golden Raisin and Gancao, who know he’s not all he hypes himself up to be and just bully him, though not relentlessly. Also I’m considering that he also works for the TBD? But given the time messing he does, maybe not. Though maybe he just does it in his free time in between work and nobody knows. Now I’m imagining a scene where he’s narrating someone’s journey through another timeline, and is like “oh, sorry, it’s time for my shift at work, see you chaps later!” and they’re like “wait what hang on-” and then they hear a door slamming in the distance and he basically just leaves them on their own for 8 hours

Next up I drew Gancao because I just wanted to. I drew her with a licorice servant giving her a health potion for just a bit of energy to not overexert herself. Whether this is her servant (because I remembered that she’s technically licorice flavored and thus would have that power) or her dad’s, giving his daughter a little pick me up, I suppose you can interpret either way

I’ll be honest, I really like Gancao, she is a favorite of mine, but I also feel like I need a different one. Like, first off, her name and design do not match, and she’s the only one to really do so. Either I need to change her name to fit her design, or her design to fit her name. And second (and more what I meant), I feel like I could have done more with a darklico kid. Like, for Mallomar, I gave him mind control powers due to a combination of the Strawberry Jam Sword’s leftover influence and Kumiho’s seduction powers, and I feel like I should incorporate the SJS more into other Dark Choco fankids. And I feel like that’s especially prevalent with a darklico fankid, considering they met and their relationship would likely have started within the Cookies of Darkness, when Dark Choco had the Strawberry Jam Sword (I suppose this is true of any ship with Dark Choco and CoD member, but this is the only one I have so far, so it only applies here). Like, I feel like a kid between these two should be more weird than Gancao; all things considered, aside from her lack of reaction to body horror, she’s a very normal person. So honestly I’m planning on doing another one

I think I may have decided to get this sketch dump out just so I can say that, since I had already drawn her here

Anyways moving on, then we got Turtle Fudge. So you remember how back in his thing, I said that he ended up getting kidnapped by Affogato, and I believe in one timeline he never gets found and rescued? Well this is that timeline’s version of him, now a loyal disciple of Affogato, who reveres him as the one who took him in after his parents abandoned him. Though he might somewhat see him as a father figure, he only calls Affogato “Lord Affogato”, since that’s what Affogato prefers. Basically Affogato and his disciples did brainwashing to the poor kid to make him believe this. In this future, Affogato might return to the Dark Cacao Kingdom to reclaim his throne (or something, I’m not too sure Affogato really wants it, but maybe it’s about being petty and getting revenge), with a new group of disciples, Turtle Fudge among them, but Dark Choco and Caramel Arrow don’t realize it’s him, at least not until some dramatic reveal of his blindfold coming off. At the end of things, he does eventually realize that Affogato tricked him and turns on him, but how mentally stable he is at that point I’m not sure. The version I personally favor is the one where he stands there (possibly without Affogato knowing), Affogato having let slip his true intentions with Turtle Fudge (aka he’s just a pawn he stole from them to get back at them), and he ends up being the one to kill Affogato with a surprise spear throw that not even Affogato sees coming, and afterwards he just collapses on the floor, having a complete mental breakdown as his entire life has been a lie, with him crying and taking off the blindfold, so his parents know it’s him, but he’s been so broken by this that he never really recovers from it, spending years with his parents, but still a wreck from everything that’s happened to him and never really being a stable person again. I recognize the nicer (and more typical) version would be him turning on Affogato earlier, declaring his defiance of him and dramatically taking off his blindfold, and then after he and his parents defeat Affogato and his forces, they have a nice happy reunion, and I recognize the ending of that scenario I present is probably overdoing it, but I like my angst, so let me have this. Or at least everything up to him killing Affogato and having a breakdown afterwards

Anyways so then I drew an older Mallomar, which I’ve been wanting to draw since I first made him. I had the little ponytail envisioned, but I’ll be honest, I half assed the outfit like normal. I swear, I’m just really bad at outfits. I mean it looks fine, but I basically just took this from Dark Choco’s Vestements of Old Memories design, instead of something of my own. Ah well. Also I don’t know where that white streak in his hair came from, I just thought he needed one. Basically the idea with Mallomar when he’s older is that he’s mellowed out from when he was a little kid and is a lot more genuine, if not a bit nervous sometimes. He gets embarrassed easily, I’m sure plenty of it coming from his mom. Also he’s really big like his dad and grandpa

But yeah, some drawings. Hope you like them!

[arolesbianism]

I may be failing my plan to not make any isat aus. So there's this guy her name is Euphrasie right. What if I took her and combined what could be 3 separate au concepts into one. And in the process forced myself to go back and reread a bunch of shit to make sure I know how to maximally fuck over this sad wet puppy of a woman

[medicinemane]

Few things piss me off more than when I'm researching something, and I find someone asking the question I want answered, and the response is just "you shouldn't want that, just do this instead"

Today, it's me trying to look up a build for this witch farm concept that uses raid captains to manipulate the witches ai instead of using redstone

"Just use the shifting floors farms, they're just about as good" people respond... you stupid prick, that's not an answer to the question actually asked. I don't know about these guys, but me, I want it cause it's novel and there's no redstone, and I like putting bespoke prestige projects on my server... you might have noticed I tend to do form over function on a lot of my farms... so this is about form, the function is just a bonus

Second example, I wanted to see if there was any way to make Terra Invicta load faster, "just don't save scum"... you idiot, one that's just stupid advice, people can play games however they want, but two this once again doesn't answer the question

Like yeah, how dare people want to know if there's a way to make a game load saves faster when loading takes like 1 minute

If they at least phrased stuff like "sorry, I don't know how to do that, he's an alternative you might try", it's not helpful but it's at least polite

But man... I just get tired of people not answering the question being asked and instead answering the one they've decided was asked

(Actually, a legit real problem in the real world such as... with doctors who don't listen to their patient and decide they know what's really being asked. Don't do it, answer the asked question, or at least ask questions to confirm what's being asked before going off pig headed)

BATBOYS JEALOUSY HCS ── .✦

a/n: I just ate which like now my stomach hurts because I ate this spicy burger (10/10) and my stomach is hurting so let’s hope i don’t die from a burger😭 also request from anon (here) tysm!

(Tags: batboys when jealous of crush!reader)

BRUCE WAYNE ── .✦

Internally Brooding, Externally Stoic: Bruce keeps a calm, composed exterior, but inside? Full-on brooding mode. He watches every move, his jaw clenching just slightly whenever the other guy laughs a little too much.

Passive-Aggressive Moves: Bruce subtly but effectively tries to interrupt. Maybe he’ll walk by and offer you something he never does, like coffee or water, just to make his presence known. “You looked thirsty,” he’ll say, while the guy looks confused.

Petty Rich Guy Move: He’ll ‘accidentally’ mention something about Wayne Enterprises, as if to remind everyone just how wealthy and powerful he is. “Funny, we were discussing corporate acquisitions the other day,” he’ll drop casually, as if it relates. (Let’s hope he doesn’t drain his bank 😞🙏)

The Comedy: When Alfred catches him glaring, he’ll dryly say, “Master Wayne, perhaps you should try blinking before you permanently furrow your brow.” Bruce will immediately deny he’s bothered, even as he side-eyes you again.

DICK GRAYSON ── .✦

Charm Dial Up to 100: Dick doesn’t even try to hide his jealousy. He’ll swoop into the conversation, throwing in his most dazzling smile. “Hey, I didn’t realize we were letting random guys have all the fun,” he’ll say with a teasing grin, while subtly nudging the guy aside.

Over-the-Top Compliments: He’ll suddenly become your biggest hype-man. “You know, she’s literally the smartest, funniest, and most beautiful person in the room, right? No offense to you, man.” The other guy feels awkward, and you just laugh while Dick grins smugly.

Puppy Dog Eyes: If you keep talking to the other guy, Dick’s smile might falter just a little, and he’ll stand in the background, clearly pouting. It’s so obvious that even you can’t help but laugh.

The Comedy: He’ll mutter, “Didn’t even know jealousy could feel this personal,” under his breath while side-eyeing the guy like it’s a soap opera.

JASON TODD ── .✦

Grumpy But Trying to Play it Cool: Jason’s jealousy is obvious in how stiff and silent he gets. He leans against the nearest wall, arms crossed, glaring like the other guy just insulted his whole family.

Blunt Interruptions: He doesn’t have the patience to be subtle. He’ll walk up and ask, “So, who’s this?” in the least friendly tone possible, with a fake smile that could curdle milk.

Accidental Intimidation: Jason’s sheer presence is intimidating, so the poor guy talking to you will probably start feeling uncomfortable as Jason looms over, cracking his knuckles or adjusting his jacket dramatically.

The Comedy: If you don’t notice, Jason will mutter sarcastically, “Oh sure, talk to Captain Chit-Chat over there. Not like I’m standing right here or anything.” Roy, nearby, might add, “Jason, you’re doing that ‘death stare’ thing again,” and Jason will growl, “I’m not jealous.”

TIM DRAKE ── .✦

Awkward and Overthinking Everything: Tim doesn’t get jealous often, but when he does, it’s a mess. He watches from a distance, wringing his hands, thinking, Should I interrupt? Maybe she likes him? Maybe I’m reading too much into it…

Accidental Sulking: He tries to focus on something else, but his mind keeps wandering. He sits down nearby, pretending to work on his laptop, typing nonsense just so he can stay close without being obvious. “Haha, yeah…no big deal…” deletes everything he just typed.

Passive Observing: Tim eventually tries to casually stroll by, acting like he just happened to be there. “Oh, hey… didn’t see you there. Weird, right?” He’s so awkward it’s endearing.

The Comedy: If Kon or Bart sees him sulking, they’ll tease him mercilessly. “Dude, go talk to her.” Tim panics, “I can’t. She’s busy… laughing… with him…” Kon: “You’re hopeless.”

DAMIAN WAYNE ── .✦

Silent Judgment Mode: Damian watches with narrowed eyes, judging every aspect of the guy talking to you. He might even mutter things under his breath like, “He stands like a fool,” or “He can’t even articulate properly.”

Direct Interruption: Damian doesn’t have time for subtlety. He’ll walk up and flatly say, “Are you finished with this conversation? It’s becoming unbearable.” The other guy is usually too shocked to respond.

Unintentional Comedy: He’ll start critiquing the guy’s conversation topics. “She doesn’t care about your opinions on sports,” he’ll state matter-of-factly, as you try not to laugh.

The Comedy: If you ask if he’s jealous, he’ll scoff. “Jealous? Of that imbecile? Hardly.” But the tips of his ears are turning red, and you know he’s lying.

everyone hates ranting to me about other people lmao

Jealousy

Rafe Cameron x Reader (established relationship)

Summary: Reader meets Sofia and isn’t pleased.

*this is my first time writing so don’t be mean😭

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You slam your car door behind you and set fourth to meet Rafe and his boyfriends at the country club bar. Tired from coming straight from working the opening shift at the local coffee shop, you’re hoping you can convince Rafe to go back to tannyhill and just spend a relaxing day with you. Being the nice girlfriend you are however, meant agreeing to meet at the club when he texted you during your shift. Your outfit wasn’t terrible so you skipped stopping at home and here you are. You make your way inside and see the boys all standing around a table on the deck and decide you need a drink before you can handle that much toxic testosterone. You make your way to the bar to and grab the bartender's attention. “Can I get a glass of rose please” she timidly nods and hands me the glass once she’s done pouring. “And what tab name should I put that under?”

Looking her up and down you realized she was probably new, no one had to ask who your tab was under. They knew you were Rafes. You politely smiled back “Rafe, Rafe Cameron,” she looked at you with confusion and protested “um I unfortunately cannot put your drinks under someone else’s tab if they’re not here with you, but If you give me your name I can add it to your club account!” The look you gave her was one of pure disdain. You were simply not in the mood for this today. “I don’t have a member account I’m a guest, a guest of Rafe Cameron, who if you use your eyes you can see is literally right there, on the deck. Right behind us.” You blinked at her waiting for her to get on with it and hopefully let you leave this irking conversation, but no, she continues

“See I understand but since he didn’t accompany you here I have now way of know-“ you turned around and walked away cutting her off mid sentence. You marched towards Rafe who had his back to you, you gripped his wrist promptly ending his conversation with kelce and topper and dragged him to the bar. He looked down at you confused considering he didn’t even know you were there. Once you reach the bar you put on your best fake smile until the girl speaks up while fluttering her eyelashes “oh hi Rafe!” So that’s what this is about. Miss bartender bitch is also a pick me bitch. Got it. You bite your lip while giving this girl a look that could kill and put your hand over Rafe’s chest possessively “sweetie, this lovely new girl… what was your name?”

“Sofia” she answered with a scared look.

“Yes, Sofia, thinks I’m some wandering alcoholic from the street who roams in unaccompanied and tries to add my drinks to strangers tabs, so please for the love of god tell her I’m with you so we can end this wonderful conversation and I can get on with enjoying the rest of my day.” You blink up at him waiting for his response, while he looks at the girl looking like a deer in headlights. You clear your throat and he snaps out of his daze and gives you an evil look. “Yeah actually I have no clue who this girl is, I’ve never see-

You smack his chest simply not having his childish behavior. He sighs and rolls his eyes down at you “Yes yes I unfortunately know this woman.” You smack his chest again “unfortunately?!”

“No sorry, I mean that I get the great pleasure of dating this terrifying woman” he blinks down at you with a stupid smirk, you turn your attention back to Sofia, “are we good now? Is this over?” She gulps and nods her head frantically. “Great, bye Sophie” you grab your drink and while you’re walking away you hear her mutter “it’s Sofia” . You roll your eyes and look up at Rafe who pulls you aside before you reach the table with the boys at it. “Someone’s feisty today” he settles his hands on your hips and looks down at you lovingly. “It was just a shitty day and I can’t put up with people's stupidity anymore.” You take a sip from your glass and rest your free hand on his chest. “I don’t know why you don’t just quit, I told you I can take care of you” you think it over for a second while swirling your wine around. “Yeah but I’m not a gold digger, I don’t have it in me, I would get too bored being a stay at home girlfriend” let’s not forget the fear of him leaving you and you being stuck with nothing! He chuckles at you and gives you a peck to your forehead while moving his hand to the small of your back and ushering you to the table.

“Ayo y/n” topper loudly shouts as you approach.

“What’s up girl?” Kelce asks. Before you get a chance to answer, Rafe steps in for you. “She almost just bit the head off of Sofia the new girl” he laughs along with the boys as you grow annoyed again. “Bro why?” Asks topper. “She kept saying I couldn’t put my drinks on Rafes tab and she also kept batting those slutty eyelashes at him.” You scoff replaying the scene in your head. “Ahh so you're jealous.” Kelce says. You blink at him hoping that he’ll drop dead at any moment. “I will slit your throat Kelce.” You’re really not having this today. The boys all erupt in laughter while Rafe pulls you into his side. You down the rest of your wine and look up at him. “Can we just go back to Tanny? I'm not in a good mood and I was hoping for it just to be us today.” You slightly whisper so that the other two boys wouldn’t hear. Rafe looks at you with a sense of guilt in his eyes seeing as he’s the reason you’re here in the first place. “Yeah, I’m sorry baby let’s go.” He says his goodbye to the boys and you make your way off the deck holding hands while your other hand rests on his bicep. While you’re passing the bar you make sure to catch Sofias eye “Bye Zoey” you say in a sing-song voice. Rafe gives you another smirk while leading you to your car. “You’re kinda a bitch you know that?” He says with nothing but love in his eyes. He hops in your driver's seat since you’re a passenger princess at heart. You click your seatbelt in place and look over at him while he starts up the car. “Yeah I know, but you love me” you’re smiling over at him watching how handsome he looks when he’s putting his arm behind your seat, while looking back to reverse. “Yeah, I really do don't I” he says with a boyish grin. He places his free hand on your thigh and you head off to enjoy the rest of the day in peace with your favorite Cameron boy.
