#:3 This is why my high fantasy setting is set in a place called “The Many Lands”: a webwork of largely soft-bordered 'regions'#where an array of humanoid species of varying socialist and anarchistic societies#work together to manage their homelands &share an unfettered gift economy that threads the region together like a circulatory system#Between huge food forests tended everywhere which are SUPPLEMENTED by greenhouses that can house respectively non-native gifted plants#in an array of carefully temperature controlled segments it is absolutely possible for one of my Dwarvej councilmen to have a 'coffee' --#(though of course many regions just fall back on their OWN array of teas or 'chews' or treats-coffee isn't the ONLY thing that has caffeine#after all -- each region's coffee - even greenhouse-grown --is likely to taste slightly different. Some prefer their own region's blend#While some just wait for the newest arrival of tropical merfolk volca-coffee to share with their friends#The rarity is worth it if you live in a world that understands that [almost] everyone can have a wonderful life if you all agree culturally#that the planet [Kufara] should be respected -resources need to be shared -EVERYONE MUST have their basic necessities &health provided for#that consent and well-being are PARAMOUNT and the five-freedoms are THE BAREST LEVEL OF CARE owed the animals of Kufara)#I swear I would keep this closer to my chest#Because it's not done yet it's a WIP...and god there's SO MUCH MORE worldbuilding I'm dying to talk about#But considering my age and disability and how this world is going#I can't guarantee it ever will be finished#So if I ask myself whether I'd prefer my fat Black-coded disabled woman protag deliver these ideas directly as first intended but oops#not really because I have no way to support myself and will die under what is coming - or whether I want people to truly start thinking and#creating stories that explore how an anti-capitalist anti-fascist world can operate and thrive#I'd rather people start writing and thinking of all the amazing possibilities there are for us all#Because goddamn I've been waiting for over forty years for folk to see some reason- just for the world to get MORE ridiculous🙄#Bitch I'm tired. I'm damn tired... I still am trying to figure out how I can live & I still haven't given up on my story...but I'm tired#Before y'all conservatives start in- NO it is not a “utopia!1!!”#Because yes there will always be people like you and like my father who REFUSE to share or respect anyone or live in any kind of peace#Those people move away into barren places where their victims cannot escape the exploitation and abuse they crave#These are called 'Ruins' (areas rebuilt out of the defeated-vassals-of-the-long-ago vanquished-big-bad's-palaces)#Or 'cult-villages' from where the protagonist escaped long ago#The people of The Many Lands wish these were not so-but have yet to agree on how to completely prevent#Cult societies or high-control places being built by those humanoids who refuse to live well.#The most they can do-without revoking these people's consent and agency UTTERLY-is to send special helpers to either assist or sneak away#victims covertly...a task that Idris -though his main thing is being a weather mage & a scholar... will volunteer to do on occasion
