Stanley encounters them. [Blank Scripts AU]

[dorothy-troyanovsky]

That explains a lot....THIS IS GENIUS!

EVERYONE!!!

I know why Ridley's wheelchair bound. (Or at least I have an extremely plausible theory)

Okay so the Magic Misfits Series takes place around the 1950s. During the 1950s, there were numerous cases of Poliovirus.

Polio can cause muscle atrophy, paralysis of the legs, and most commonly affected children

This could also explain why Ridley's mother is a total health-nut and incredibly overprotective at times. The causes of polio weren't clear at that time, completely healthy children were falling ill and no one knew why or the best way to help them. Imagine having your child, your only daughter fall ill to a disease that had claimed thousands of other lives. The doctors barely have any idea of what to do to help and you're not even sure if anything can be done. Then she recovered, not fully, but she's alive and as snarky as ever. The best thing you can think of to do now is to try to protect her from anything else that might threaten her health, from allergies to the smallest specks of dust.

Honestly, it's the tiny tidbits of history that make me love the Magic Misfits more than I already do.

Im back with my AU & headcanon crap

So this is a random headcanon I have for Shockwave, one that I've had for a long time but just realized I have literally never mentioned to anyone before. It's not groundbreaking but ya know

So, in most versions of Shockwave he has his gun on his left arm and his only working hand is his right hand. I use Shockwaves IDW backstory in general, so keep that in mind.

I think Shockwave was originally left handed, and he still is even after the frame change. I know that he technically gets claws in the frame change, but that not my main point. I like to think that he was forced to use his non-dominant hand (servo) and is forced to not be able to use his preferred hand.

Maybe the planets government blacklists certain mechs from getting legally and medically approved replacements for the body parts that were changed by force. I don't know to much about the other emrapta victims but I think that if you were in good wealth or knew some people in high places you could get better quality parts.

I think the planets government would blacklist a lot of mechs from a lot of things, not very publicly and not to the lower high class to middle class. The high class are rarely blacklisted, and a lot of them do know in the back of their processor's but don't like to think about it. The people who are lower class or are 'less useful' to the common mech are commonly blacklisted from large frame upgrades or anything that could really help them, megatronus would not be able to get medically safe treatment or practical weaponry while in the pits

Well that was a lot of extra stuff other than my single headcanon I went into this with.

Oh ya sidenote: I'm better at answering questions rather than explaining stuff, so if you want or feeling compelled feel free to ask any questions (related or not) and I can do my thing for it :P

OOOOHHH okay okay love an invitation for questions but let’s start dissecting this, because I heart your worldbuilding

Blacklisting or restrictions on empurata victims

Ooh boy. Okay the implications. It’s sorta like empurata is a permanent shame or black mark on a person’s life. You’re made a breathing, walking example of what happens when you step out of line. And no doctor is going to undo this without it costing a pretty, you don’t even need a special identifier on any legal paper that identifies that it shouldn’t be undone: because you are the identifier. It’s a big risk to try and get it replaced, and I’d imagine most doctors would take one look at you and decide it’s not worth it, whatever you did to have this happen, if they get involved then whoever changed your frame could do the same to them, the risk is too high. ”if you were in good wealth or knew some people in high places you could get better quality parts.” For rich noble folks, it’s probably easier to have the contacts/connections who’d be willing to do this. But even so, empurata is a BIG thing, who knows maybe their entire reputation is ruined. It’s not a simple operation to simply have undone, and it’s really interesting to notice you only mentioned upgrading parts. Do you think any (probably viewed as insane) noblemechs would display their empurata as like a “message”? or propaganda, trying to express their views. Are they shunned by their former friends and followers and do they continue to have the opportunity of luxury AFTER empurata?

Left Handed Shockwave

👀👀

Do you think he experiences phantom pains from his hands like cramping? Or maybe sometimes he’s reach over and knocks something down because he still sometimes “feels” his hand? Is this a point of distress for him? (I know he is portrayed often as emotionless and working based solely on logic, but I like to believe even so he still experiences SOME form of emotion, even if he and everyone else insists otherwise)

More Blacklisting

Even if they were somehow to find someone willing to undergo a large surgery do you think it’d be safe? would there be people who take advantage of this and charge low with high interest rates to trap someone into servitude? (best word I can find 😔 you know what I mean)

Interesting to see that high class mechs would turn a blind eye to this… do you think it is because they wouldn’t want to lose their luxuries? are they afraid of living knowing that if they speak up they can be silenced? or do they simply not care about what’s lower than them?

On the topic of illegal/unsafe modifications. It reminds me a /lot/ of KO’s Japanese toy bios. Where he was a weapons engineer that mentioned any weapons he gave to other were unsafe and to be untrusted. I’d love to hear more about unsafe medical practices, because this is really interesting. They don’t have to give low caste mechs a good surgery, because they aren’t worth much. Additionally,

The idea that a mech’s life is worth nothing if they are lower class, because they contribute nothing to the high class society. They are disposable, replaceable in life. They mean nothing to society. 😭😭

I had a lot of fun with these idea :) thank you for sharing and sorry for taking a. While

[trainingdummyrabbit]

whats tpoh?

oooohhh hangon i have a pitch for this

tpoh (or The Property of Hate) is a lovely comic with heavy theming of storybooks and hero's journeys, and has the same vibe as something you'd read as a bedtime story. it has a Fascinating take on a lot of worldbuilding and wordplay and its!! so hard to describe properly in words, its something youre really just gonna have to see for yourself. its got Really strong character leads whom iwould kill and die for, n if you like funky designs that Really play with theme and concept well. ohoho. oooohohoho.

u want a funky tvhead guy themed around old timey film/television and slapstick that changes palettes based on his surroundings ? swan made of candyfloss and chocolate styled into knives and ballet slippers ? porcupine made of sewing needles and fabric scraps from a place that specializes in quite literally Altering Character Designs??? grabbing u by the shoulders.

do u like playing with the bounds of webcomic and narrative and imagination as an in-universe mechanic, as a world to traverse and rules to abide by? ever wonder what happens to story fragments that never get realized as full concepts? how you become a role and a role becomes you, blurring the lines of person-concept-object-idea?

also assok is there

[slowdripsunrise]

ok more book talk. about to go to work and i need something to do for like 20 mins so. book talk. spoilers for various books under the cut

pretty sure the last book i ended on was the ghost bride, so next up i read Silver Under Nightfal by Rin Chupeco ! tbh. it was fun it was entertaining dont remember much from it other than vampire sex and . actually yeah political intrigue and plagues but mostly vampire sex. read through the audio book pretty quickly i had a good time i just really im sorry but i couldnt get over the fact that the mcs name is remy like. the rat. and thats on my thats my bad but yeah. i do have the second one and i am planning on reading that i dont have my hopes up for more than like. a little bit of plot and a Lot of vampire sex which is fine like the bits of plot i did get were interesting enough to keep me with it so. thumbs up from me :)

next i read The Binding by Bridget Collins, which. who boy that was a ride and a half. definitely 100% enjoyed it would recommend! I did read this a long time ago so a lot of it is lost to me but i remember absolutely devouring that book like easily. if you do want to read it tho, i would recommend going in knowing as little as possible; about halfway ish i think it takes a total 180 turn and just. puts you on a lil rollercoaster ride it was good. look at trigger warnings though! there are a lot of explicit discussions of heavy topics so do read those first.

after that i read Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang, a collection of sci fi short stories that I enjoyed..... quite a bit? dont remember many of them, and to me i feel like this collection was wayyyy overhyped and i didnt enjoy it as much as i could have tbh. overall if you like sci fi i would recommend and there were some interesting conversations brought up throughout, so i do think it's worthwhile, i just didn't like it as much as i thought i would.

after that i read The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow, a very short novella that like kinda destroyed me a little bit. like the love story was so lovely and felt genuine even in such a short amount of pages, and it's something i would go back and read again and again. 10/10 would recommend i read this in one sitting at like midnight and i think it changed my brain chemistry just a little bit

then i read Flux by Jinwoo Chong, and i really dont have much to say about it. it could have been a me thing where i wasnt in the mood for this story but i did not connect to any of the characters at all and i was confused pretty much the entire time. its one of those time travel things were like. a crime has happened and they start from the beginning before the crime but also after looking back on it and like the mc is supposedly in a simulation but neither he or the reader can tell if/when he is or not but like. yeah i just didnt vibe with it.

then i read Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon, my first book of theirs ! i thought the concept was really cool and i cared about a lot of the characters, not much has stayed with me since i read it but i am excited to read more of Solomon's work! also the romance was sweet and cute or whatever.....

after that i read Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah!!! oooohhh this book was good. this book was so fucking good it messed me up by the end of it. and I did appreciate the footnotes adding details about both the world/time the book is set in and about their technology, but also about the prison system as it is today. and ohhh the two fmcs and their relationship was so lovely to read about, how they knew each other and cared for each other so well just. AUHDJNS. yeah. 10/10 loved and i'm excited to see more from this author

last one for this post unless i really wanna push it for work, i read the first two books in the Between Earth and Sky series by Rebecca Roanhorse! also very good 10/10 im very interested to see where it goes especially with Serapio and his whole godliness shtick, the magic and worldbuilding was super interesting and i am frothing at the mouth for the third i know its out but like i also want the audiobook and i havent seen if there is one yet but like i need to listen to it ok its just not the same without it.

ok thats it theres still more but i need to stop myself, almost gotten through it. i havent read as much recently ive been a knitting warrior but looking to get back into it more soon !

[exx-bee]

OOOOHHH. THINKING ABOUT JUST HOW MUCH OF A GOOD SUPPORT ARTI WOULD BE FOR PEBBLES IN THE EVENT THE "MOON ISN'T FUCKING THERE" EVENT DOES HAPPEN LIKE I FEAR... THEY'VE BOTH LOST SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO THEM THEY'VE BOTH LOST FAMILY GRAHHHH

HEHEHEHEE !!!!!!!!! WORRY NOT !!!!! THEY WILL FIND MOON :-) THIS CURRENT CHAPTERR IS KICKING MY ASS, BUT AFTER IT WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE "PROLOGUE" CHAPTER, AND THEN ONTO THE WORLDBUILDING AND PLOT !

[waywardsalt]

i dont have a specific question but tell me more about the dark mage au :)

Oooohhh the dark mage au... In simple terms, the basic premise is that this au is the one that my ganonbeck fic 'Where the Seas Meet the Sands' takes place in, so it is therefore The ganonbeck au, and is named 'dark mage' au because the secondary premise of this au is that Linebeck learns magic! Dark magic, obviously. It's also called 'dark mage' specifically over any other magic-related subtitle because I am personally obsessed with Fire Emblem Awakening's male dark mage design and thus imagine Linebeck in it every so often.

It's... lacking plot right now, but I hope I'll be more motivated to hash out a further plot once I finish up WtSMtS. It’s intended to take place a but before and then directly after that fic, with that fic’s events being… somehow slotted in. that’s my biggest issue with making them effectively the same thing, but that really only applies for if/when I actually write this au.

As said before, this au is effectively half romance and half drama, likely beginning with most focus on the relationship between Ganondorf and Linebeck, before more serious plot threads start appearing- yknow establishing the relationship of the two main characters before muddying the waters a bit.

Some of the worldbuilding is lightly figured out; the majority of it takes place on a large continent where the Hylians, Zora, Rito, Gorons, Gerudo, and Sheikah live (kind of just the botw smattering of groups), while places like Holodrum and Labrynna exist across the sea as other continents. I don’t think anyone will actually go to Holodrum or Labrymna, it’s just worth mentioning since Linebeck does sail around a few times, and it generally makes the world feel a bit bigger. Plus they do get mentioned as places sending or receiving goods.

Back to the ��dark mage’ part of things, I have a light magic system hashed out across a few of my aus, but it originated with this au and is most important to it. There’s a bit of a focus on how magic works, with Ganondorf being a skilled magic-user, Linebeck learning to use magic, and magic being generally known and used across the story by many other cast members.

The general gist if the magic is that anyone can learn to use magic so long as they know how to, and there are a few types of magic, mostly divided by element. Some groups and people have a specific inclination towards one or two elements and therefore would learn and handle them more easily, but everyone more or less has equal chance to learn magic. No one is more or less automatically superior at magic than anyone else, it’s all based in how much you practice, and there are some specific conditions that can temporarily boost someone’s magic ability.

The magic system is intended to be important to the plot, but first I need to have an actual plot set up. Some crumbs of it are present in WtSMtS, with tension and unrest directed at the Hylain kingdom, and Ganondorf’s more hostile thoughts towards it, so I think the plot that does arise will revolve around a conflict with the Hylian kingdom, not just between them and the Gerudo but also involving a few of the other groups, since they have their own stances on the Hylian Kingdom. The finer details haven’t been figured out yet, though.

Beyond all that, though, at it's core its a ganonbeck fic with some real plot mixed in later on, with actual usage of the loose and basic magic system I've decided on. In a sense, it's one of the few that's actually been a bit written and posed via WtSMtS?? I haven't thought about that much, but it also makes it easier for me to properly write this au using that fic as a sort of springboard.

#5

started listening to this creator recently and i rlly like their worldbuilding !!!

this might be the closest video on this list to boyfriend asmr lmao, it's the perfect balance of sleep aid and lore (though i cld not sleep because i had to absorb all the plot)

#4

channel name cut off (curse the mobile yt layout) so for clarification this is by mage bunkshelf !!!

i definitely listen to stuff that leans more towards audio rp than bf asmr (can you tell)

love this audio though it still has the bf asmr elements to it, the speaker character is so chill abt a moth person flying into his room i love it

#3

oooohhh my pizza rat . love yuurivoice especially this little guy of a character . i feel so cool as the listener character.

this video is so good but it KILLS me every time . tbh the only instance of the misunderstanding cliche that i love

#2

again, can you tell i prefer audio rp videos yet

LOVE this series its such a good balance of worldbuilding, slow burn (maybe. ...) and comedy . this video in particular UGH *chef's kiss*

i've yet to get into the series abt albus's backstory though </33

#1

if i had a nickel for every pizza guy character from an asmr channel that i've listened to, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

tbh was fighting for my LIFE choosing over guy or sam, and what video in their playlists i would choose

though i think this is the video i listen to the most, also my favorite reverse comfort audio 🫶 🫶 (also because its the closest i'll get 2 guy angst)

What are your top 5 favorite boyfriend ASMR videos?

I’ll go first 

#5 this boy looks so well loved 

#4  listen.

#3 (I may or may not have depression)

#2 🎶My love is mine all mine~🎶

#1 what can I say? I have two Ollie’s in my life I’m a Simp for both of them

————————————————————————

Feel free to re-blog I love seeing other peoples favorites!!!

[phoebe-delia]

Not sure if you’ve answered these but 14 and 25. 😺

Hello @romaine2424!! Thank you for sending this in; I appreciate it so much.

14. What is your favorite location and position to write in?

If I'm sitting up, then I'd rather be in a coffee shop or diner. I do some of my best writing in that kind of place. But if I'm home, and I'm just writing a microfic, I will 100% do it just lying down in bed or on the couch lol.

25. What’s your favorite part of the writing process (worldbuilding, brainstorming/outlining, writing, editing, etc)?

Oooohhh! I think editing, because that means the fic is done LOL. I've been having a lot of ideas but a big lack of motivation to actually write lately, and I feel a lot of relief and excitement in the editing stage because that means I've created something and it's almost done. Plus I often come up with some good ideas during editing and end up with something that makes me proud because I took the time to polish it up.

26. What’s your least favorite part of the writing process?

Writing description, specifically. I literally hate it so much. It's so tedious! I like dialogue so much better; it's a lot easier and more fun for me. But ultimately I can't do my own ideas justice without description, so it is very much a necessary evil.

Interestingly, I like writing descriptions in microfics; it's just in the longer fics that I struggle with it because it's a lot more than just one scene and I get bored so easily lol.

Thank you so so much again!

Send me a writing ask!

[lady-literature]

hii

can you give your fave fic recs bcuz i’m bored. it doesn’t have to be any particular fandoms just you’re favorite.

oooohhh buddy do I have a list

Hell is just a shoujo manga: this fic is absolutely ridiculous and you bet I loved every goddamn second of it. bnha, fem!izuku, technically isekai?

throw me a goddamn rope - just enough to hang myself with: the only fic on this list that isn't completed because it's just that good and also updates frequently if not consistently. Aizawa goes back in time, tries to keep little!izuku safe, and accidentally gets a whole ass family for his troubles. utterly fluffy, so damn cute, and aizawa's presence in the past somehow makes izuku even more effective at beating people up with friendship.

hit me baby one more time: the iconic time loop au for It (2019) where characters die but they also get better. reddie, obviously.

When the Floods Roll Back: shout out to my Buffy obsession that has me by the neck at least one a year. this is a season 6 rewrite that's had 20lb of sugar dumped on it. we stan. spuffy, because my questionable taste in fictional men can be reliably traced back to this asshole.

The Devouring of Hearts: quite possibly my favorite marvel fic. It's an au of an au, but you don't need to read the original work to understand this one. Toni Stark is an Addams, and she absolutely does not care what the world thinks of her or her proclivity towards the dark and macabre. i absolutely love this fic's vibe its perfect for the spooky season. highly recommend. WinterIron.

Minimum Height Requirement: the batman 'no capes until you're eighteen' au that has a stranglehold on my heart. god i fucking love this family.

a handful of Good Omens fic that live in my mind rent free:

Something to do with these sacred words: "Crowley confesses early, and Crowley confesses often. Aziraphale never knows quite what to say."

The Norwegian Civil War: "It had never been Aziraphale's intention to found a sort of secret society of angry angels. Certainly he'd never imagined he might run a halfway house on Earth for them."

Thy Kingdom Come: "Crowley is just following orders." Crowley is king of hell and it doesn't really change much but it does give him a lot of feelings about the whole thing, so. please read it i love it so much

and speaking of that last good omens fic, literally anything by ShanaStoryteller but specifically

Gods & Monsters: a collection of short stories depicting new versions of old myths

build your wings on the way down: which is an excellent fix-it fic for FMA with excellent characterization and worldbuilding and a thousand other things.

survival is a talent: a soulmate drarry au that somehow became a complete series rewrite with the absolute BEST twists and turns and reimaginations of canon. Every character is amazing and the worldbuilding makes me drool honestly. utterly fantastic.

and also like all of her Untamed fics, god i love that shit, i'm pretty sure there's cocaine or something in them.

[scorndotexe]

hi there!! I've been meaning to ask, since it looks quite intriguing, what is disco elysium about?

hi!! and oooohhh yes it's very intriguing and bear with me as i attempt to explain

so,,,plot-wise, it's about an amnesiac detective solving a mystery

game-wise, it's an incredible rpg (not that i've played many rpgs but this one is incredible) where your skills affect your gameplay in fascinating and unique ways. it's very dialogue heavy, and a chunk of that is attributed to the fact that your skills talk to you. (your necktie can also talk to you. horrific necktie my beloved <3)

although there is a plot, i'd be much more inclined to call it character-driven. you sort of,,,,well, you don't make a character so much as shape him.

also there's tons of worldbuilding if you're into that. to the point where the wiki resembles a history book more than a fandom wiki. (it's set in another world, not on earth)

hdjshfg i really wish i could describe it better but please ask me anything you're curious about

[saltedcaramelchaos]

ohhh, yep, makes sense makes sense *solemn nod*

oh good job mate!!! im proud of you!! :D

THAT'S SO COOL :0- worldbuilding for inktober is an insaaanely cool idea, are they planning to do anything for nanowrimo? actually, are YOU :0??

oh yaaayyy good for you and for reda and her platonic gfs! thats awesome :D

Oooohhh awesome!! I'm failing to imagine that in my head rn, but good for you loll

my day was pretty good! i volunteered at a local halloween event and did teenagery things like driving siblings to sports and planning for a school dance with my friends :]

hiii hello veil !! how's your life going, on a scale of 1 to pineapple ?

uhhhh i would say somewhere between q and triangle, but if the triangle was blue-flavored, yknow?

a little stressed, but I got a thing i've been putting off for two weeks now fully done, which im proud of. and I wasn't even too drained after!

I got to hang out with my sibling (they showed me their minecraft world and the worldbuilding project they've been doing for inktober and im SO! PROUD! OF! THEM! also we swordfought which was fun.

also i left one of my plushies (her name is reda [reh-dah not ree-dah] and she is a red panda) back from when i accidently left her at my mother's house. she is reunited with her girlfriends (they are in a qpr and cuddling on my bed).

also played a knot-tying game with a relative, which was fun. once i figured out how to read the diagrams i ACED the entire thing. im so good at following pictures.

hbu?

[mayaree-darling]

(ReincAnon) One of my favorite concept is how curses like Sukuna remembers people through their cursed energy. It kinda made me think about how dogs and cats remember human smell kskdshdf.

AND THE WORDS ON THIS SCENE: " Sukuna thought he was trying to pull you down to the floor, and he wouldn’t have been surprised if that was the goal. You grip on to the edges of the table like a lifeline. "

"Unsuccessful in dragging you to the floor, Gojo stands up straight with a pout."

I don't know if it was intentional or not but I like the symbolism here. The Gojo clan (or even the entire sorcerer world) trying to drag reader down but they stand tall in the end ;u; very nice

"That was your power. That was supposed to be yours." I was wondering if Satoru was aware of this as well? It wasn't clearly stated and I'm not sure if I managed to pick any hidden messages hh. Satoru seem to share reader's sentiments at the very least.

Reader's Continuance sounds super interesting! Do you have any other notes about how it actually works? Since the power became Satoru's, I'm pretty sure it also got modified. From reader's past memories, it looks like they can rewind stuff but there's definitely more to it. 3/x

Hey hey hey again hahahha

I’m happy you liked that concept of Sukuna and curses remembering cursed energy. Fun fact about it: When I write down requests, I usually pair them with my initial ideas to help me when I finally get around to writing them. And when I wrote down yours, I couldn’t remember all my ideas back then but I wrote down “Sukuna can’t remember your name anymore, but he did remember your cursed energy, your very soul.” So I decided to roll with it hahaha

Oooohhh that wasn’t actually intentional if I gotta be honest. It was mostly just a memory of how a friend would greet me. Good call though O.O

I wanted to make it that Satoru knew to a sort of extent? Like when he brought you back to the world of curses and jujutsu, you seemed to know more than you let on. Maybe you even helped him get stronger by suggesting how to use his powers. You say they’re all theory, but??? He has a feeling, but he doesn’t let slip that he’s curious of what you know. He’s pretty sure you won’t tell either. You siblings are sketchy that way.

AAAHHH I loved thinking about Continuance. The idea was that if Gojo was space (Infinity), then you were time (Continuance). It’s more so just that you can turn back time by 1 second in a given diameter around you each time you activate it. It’s hella handy during a fight. For healing, it works differently. It’s more so reader returning a body back to how it was before someone got the wound, but they had to have gotten the wound in that same diameter reader has control over (sort of works like a domain). Tbh. the idea is very messy and not thought out well enough. I didn’t go in-depth on it during worldbuilding since I knew I wouldn’t be able to use it fully in the one-shot. In the one-shot. For now OuO

[angel-archivist]

that’s one of the reasons i really like Darkwood, there’s little to no actual jumpscares and completely relies on atmosphere and worldbuilding. it’s a hard game but it’s one you genuinely want to work for. i love it

OOOOHHH KILLERRR !!!!! 😳😳😳😳

[cinna-wanroll]

oooh mocha and earl grey for the asks? 💕

https://cinna-wanroll.tumblr.com/post/647639717051006976/cafe-asks

Oooohhh for those of you who don’t know, rainy days are my favorite kind of days.

When I wake up on rainy days I get on the couch and watch an episode or two of the Clone Wars while I drink an Arnold-palmer, then I go upstairs with a Sprite and grab a blanket and sit at my teal desk by the window. I Bluetooth Conan Gray, City Girl (the LoFi artist, not City Girls lmao), and Closed on Sunday. Then I usually scroll through Tumblr and write some fic, maybe I’ll watch Baby on Netflix depending on my mood. Dude rainy nights are such a vibe, I love rainy nights and staying up late working on worldbuilding and Star Wars rants.

Heres my Earl Gray response 

Thanks for the ask :D

[poore-choice-of-words]

@juliawrites98​ Thanks for the ask and Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday to you too!

Oooohhh. This is a toughie, but it also let’s me talk about the individual Magekal kingdoms and what they wear so this is going to be really fun! I’ll talk about some of the more interesting clothing trends there.

Phoenix: is freaking hot! So the majority of their clothes are light, to the point that sleeves have become an indicator of marital status. Two sleeves = single. One sleeve = engaged, divorced, widowed, or separated. No sleeves = married.

Mineria: Cloth doesn’t survive in water for too long and neither does metal. Most of their clothes are made from seashells and the remains of sea creatures, which makes them very hard and armor like, but very elegant.

Sagarmatha: Their clothes are light and either airy so it’s very noticeable when the air is more active around them, or very close to the skin so it’s harder to tell when they’re manipulating the air around them. Either way it has to be very light. They also tend to be designed as camouflage to make them less noticeable.

Domhan: Cloaks. Everyone wears cloaks. Most of them are very heavy to the point that unless you’re very strong or already a citizen of Domhan, you don’t know how to handle them. They’re often used a bonus to armor, and a form of camouflage, as well as an extra weapon.

Draconis: Light armor mostly. They’re always prepared to get on their dragons and fight. At this point there are multiple different designs of it. If they’re going without armor, they’re typically wearing very basic tunics and pants.

Anuanu: With the exception of some very intense Ice Mages, everybody’s bundled up, lot’s of layers, but ice mages will forego most if not all layers to tap further into a sense of cold and be prepared to survive in an entire castle of ice.

Avalon: Has a mix of clothes, ranging from many eras and cultures. A true melting pot.
