4 Creative Ways to Design Fictional Plants for Your Fantasy World

Hello everyone! If you want to add some unique flora to your world-building, this article is for you. In this post, I'll go through some ways you can find the inspiration to create fictional plants. Here are some ways to get creative:

Draw ideas from real-life plants: Find unique features of the plants around you that you can adapt to create an entirely new plant. For example, you could make an orchard full of fruit trees that project sharp needles from the hanging fruit when touched.

Think outside the box: Consider what the creatures in your world need. Figure out how their unique needs could be met by the plants. What kind of food do they eat? What is poisonous to them? Where do they nest? 

Tie in significance and mythological elements: Take ideas from folklore. Give your plants deeper meaning to the people that inhabit your world. What mystical properties do your plants have? Are they used in a ritual?

Consider the environment: When making a new type of plant, consider the climate and geography of its growing area. Plants that grow in dry areas look and function differently from those that thrive in wetlands. 

Get creative with your fictional plants. Consider purpose. Mix, match, and invent! Happy world-building!

Una de Gitanos...

Hace mucho tiempo, olvidado entre los escombros de historias del viejo mundo, el mal personado en Vlad, vaivoda de Valaquia, quedó prendado de una hermosa mujer, Lenora. El conde, que tenía un corazón obscuro y el alma totalmente carcomida, trató de comprar su amor. Lenora, sin embargo, ya amaba a otro, amaba a Pedro. Un gitano que trabajó como herrero en la casa de sus padres. 

El mal no tiene pausa, y además posee la terrible capacidad de saltar de corazón a corazón casi sin esfuerzo. En medio de la locura que causa el amor, los padres de Lenora bajaron la guardia, y quedaron expuestos.  El mal logró entrar en ellos, e inmediatamente las dudas los carcomieron. Sus corazones se llenaron de odio y miedo. Le prohibieron a Lenora ver al gitano, y la encerraron en su cuarto. Poco sabían de cómo funciona un corazón. Este encierro trajo la amargura necesaria que alimenta todo aquello que marchita el alma. El mal se empezó a alinear. Vlad tenía todo preparado para el ritual que iniciaría a Lenora como suprema dama de rău la noche de walpurgis de 1445. 

Pedro, que sabía leer el fuego y que con su corazón noble presentía cuando el mal andaba cerca, supo dilucidar el plan de Vlad, y trató de evitarlo pidiendo la mano de Lenora en matrimonio. Ni siquiera pudo entrar. “No te quieren para nada cerca de acá”, se encargó de decirle Annia, la otra gitana que trabajaba en la casa, "si se enteran te matan”.  Por supuesto que se huyeron al día siguiente.  

Por la mañana, mientras Lenora se preparaba para el viaje, Pedro salió a recolectar setas y otras hierbas para el camino. Se puso de cuclillas y llenó las cantimploras con agua del Danubio. El bello Danubio riega brevemente los campos en Rumania antes de desembocar en el mar negro. Con el corazón lleno de esa valentía que el primer amor nos da, Pedro susurró sus deseos más profundos. Con los ojos perdidos en las piedras de la orilla, Pedro no podía dejar de pensar en Lenora, y en sus ojos, y en las cosas que dice, y en todos los atardeceres que verían. Brillante, como estrella del Norte, una pirita en particular le llamó la atención. Era verde y tenía miles de fisuras, burbujas y matices por dentro. Era Moldavita, la piedra que mantiene alejado al demonio. Pedro, que a estas alturas ya había más que saltado al vacío en pos de su amor, no dudó en tomarla y forjar con ella un dije.  

Ese día Lenora y Pedro escaparon, pero Vlad Drácula Tepes los encontró. A Lenora no la tocó, porque no pudo acercársele, el dije de moldavita lo mantuvo lejos, a Pedro, sin embargo, Vlad lo destrozó, lo mató. El clan al ver esto salió huyendo de Romania, Vlad en respuesta esclavizó a diez mil gitanos, y los obligó a trabajar para él. 

Vlad empoderado por el mal -destrozado por el desamor- lanzó una maldición contra todos los gitanos. Juró regresar cada cierto tiempo para lograr poseer a Lenora o a su linaje, y castigarlos hasta el fin del tiempo -como una enferma manera de revivir un evento traumático esperando sanar-. 

Desde entonces Lenora se escondió y con ella al hijo que llevaba adentro, emprendiendo camino errante por el mundo. 54 años tenía el hijo, el día que se subió a la Pinta detrás de un Cristóbal Colón ya cansado.

Writers if you haven’t been told this before, I’m obliged to say it: You’re a creator, not just a writer.

Nearly back to normal operating speed! Finishing up the backlog of client machines that I took on immediately after the #hanks media blitz. Looking to have new sticker designs, some new apparel and of course a stream of newly serviced machines hitting the shop in the next 2 months. For now, pick up some of these awesome #publictypewriterproject stickers and help keep that project on its feet.

3. How I “Thought-Dump”

When you decide to make a story, whether it is a light novel, manga, movie, etc., it is best to plan out your story’s basic composition. Planning will help make your story a lot better, making it feel more fluid, creative, and unique. It can also help you avoid plot holes, inconsistencies with your characters, and writer’s block.

My favorite way of planning out my story is to do a “thought-dump.” Thought-dumping is taking any idea or thought and writing it down. The idea can be good or bad; just dump your thoughts onto a document. For example, I wanted a floating castle in my story, but it seemed illogical to add it. It just ruined some of the elements in the world I created. I ignored my brain and just added it anyway. After some thought, I found a way to add that floating castle. I tweaked a few things in my story, changed some characters, added some history, and made the castle significantly relevant to my arc and the whole series’s main plot. What I initially thought was a mistake ended up being one of my greatest decisions.

The best way I thought-dump is through a tool called Milanote. Milanote does not sponsor this post, but it is simply my favorite website, and I had to share it. Anyway, Milanote is a tool I use to organize my ideas and put them on a board. This board helps me better visualize my thoughts.

 You can add folder-type boards to organize your ideas.  You can also select a category for your board to use pre-made cards. For example, I created a new board and categorized it as “characters.”  This allowed me to use template cards specially made for characters.  The character cards allowed me to upload a picture for my character profile with a description of their goals, personalities, habits, and looks. I have made nearly a dozen characters to get a better understanding of them.

You can do the same with other card templates such as the novel plan, story outline, world-building, and story map. It is a really effective way to develop whatever I want in my story.

For my thought-dumps, I use an empty board and randomly place note cards to write my ideas. I can color-code these note cards to understand better what relevance they have. I now have about 50 note cards, some of which have up to 300 words. These thought-dumps can be anything: describing a character or his/her actions, an idea of a plot twist, outlining the power system of the world, anything you want. I am still in the planning/thought-dump phase, but once I’m near the end of it, I will connect all these notes in chronological order. This will assist me in reviewing which bits of information work, which ones don’t make sense. It will also help me check for plot holes within my ideas.

The Moment

But forgetting to reverse the baddest -'importantly'- moment of all time..

My hands were on his shoulder, even just for a moment -this importantly eternal moment- I did this on purpose, just to make myself feel the electricity -maybe make him feel the same too- between his skin through mine.

I didn't.

I couldn't feel it.

I am honest as hell, I had no clue why I hadn't get the feeling at that time. The following moment right after this is the last episode you just read.

Last sentences.. I shared in snapchat if this means something.

Because he sees it.

So I make it.

It might be grave today, tough tomorrow, decent a few weeks later, tolerant in a few months, and insusceptible for a lifetime, only if you keep on putting the effort to surf beyond it.
