Heyo @the-forgotten-throne I'm making a conlang and im looking for some stuff to help with the world building and religious aspects of the culture if you wanna hmu
OFFER:religions, im geting my masters in religious studys (mainly antiquity) both the mythos of a religion and its function
OFFER: world building tips and pointers. World building is in everything, but is done poorly more often than not. I've studded wayyyy to much history, psychology, physics and economics to get sloppy with world building and I love teaching!
REQUEST: help in building a Conlang (or general linguistics advice)
I really love what you guys are doing! Hope you find this when everything gets set up!
Thank you!
listen I ended up regretting saying anything about this on my old blog because people will interpret literally any and every statement maliciously on this hellsite but I want to start like. a helpline for people who are like “hey I pretty much only read YA but I’m like 22 now and don’t relate to teenagers as much, it’s such a shame that there are no fun books written for adults :(” because boy HOWDY are there some fun books for adults
Working on flora/cappish, my conlang for my gfs homebrew dnd mushroom race, at like 1 AM and I got so lost in the sauce of verb conjugation that I forgot my sentence order
actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao
it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it
if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.
i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/

Did you enjoy Across the Spider-Verse? Do you like TTRPGs?
You should check out the award-winning TTRPG I wrote as a love letter to Spider-Man, called Anyone Can Wear the Mask.
(not for nothing, but the art in the game by Elijah Forbes is gorgeous)
It's a 3-player RPG where one player plays a local superhero; another, the City the hero has sworn to protect; and the third, the villain threatening the safety of the people. You draw cards, roll dice, draw a map, and tell a story about what it means to be a hero.
It's currently available in print and digital, which includes the PDF and audiobook with narration by Aaron Catano-Saez (Skyjacks: Courier's Call). Peep the game's trailer:
You can get the game right here:

ok, so since i'm a huge language nerd i decided to translate all the ancient hyrulean tablets in totk best i can from middle english into modern english! for anyone interested they are under the cut :)
Account of a Celebration
So sweet the song of King Rauru, and so great the beauty of his sister's dance, that were my eyes and ears captive.
And so gracious Queen Sonia's gaze on us all, so felt I my heart as captive fallen.
Servant's life, though much laboursome, has much jollity as well. Long be the life of the royal family that I love so.
The Strong Queen and the Receptive King
Sonia, queen to Hyrule's king, was born a Hylian priestess, herself born of land, not of sky above.
Spoke she with open heart, earnest to all, even to the Zonai's king.
This king thought it a good advantage to learn of the land's folk. To see his head bent to listen is such pleasantness.
The Harmonious Couple
Oft wise Rauru, king of keen blade, waives his real work in favor of the hunt.
And oft clever Sonia, queen of keen insight, seeks him out and repairs this king to kingly business.
In her sapience seems she divine, that she ever can find him, and for his folly seems he the more human.
And the king? Oh, he laughs. Not him her equal for her wit, he knows. And the queen, she laughs too, even as she scolds.
A Pilgrimage of Light
The king was late in coming this evening, so made the queen to share tales of her land, of shrines all green glowing.
Of early days since Hyrule's founding have diverse monsters her realm besieged and assailed.
Unceasing in strife, they brought to despair folks' lives. King and queen set themselves to bring the scourge to an end.
With might of light and power, they were driven back, and the royal couple made these shrines to seal them away.
These holy seals were called Shrines of Light.
Great king, great queen, I thank you. You fought when I was a maiden-child, that I could come to know.
The Researcher Mineru
Clever Mineru, the king's elder sister, falls so deep in her books such that she oft forgets to eat.
In my worried way I've done what much I can, but so far it has been to little avail.
Of late speaks she of "constructs," things she did make with her hands as a vessel for spirit when body fails.
So, said she, might she live long, in spirit housed within this "construct."
Though Mineru seems not to hold any deceit… By my faith, I cannot believe these words as truth.
The Foreign Princess
Full fine is the weather this morn, and have I audience with this princess said to be kin by far distant years to queen Sonia.
By grace has she been given a name most sweet, of Zelda she is called.
In certain folk stirred suspicion, for strange were her garments and sudden were her appearance.
Yet would her countenance and bearing make proof of her right blood and bond to queen Sonia.
As Zelda is to remain for a while with us, I will extend an offer of myself as housemaid in her service.
The Free-Spirited Zelda
Princess Zelda recently comes to see Mineru, the king's elder sister. I come too, to serve her.
Today it came to pass that Mineru showed to Zelda the greatest construct I have seen.
Zelda, she much desired to ride on it, and nothing I could say could stop her. Though I did protest. Loudly.
Nevertheless she made to sit high upon the construct's shoulders and to ride it like a horse, all full of grace.
My admiration, so great already, did grow all the more.
The Latest Trend
Fashion now favors garments adorned with mushroom patterns, and far and wide are they worn.
This taste for mushrooms comes of the castle's seamstress, who sought to sew clothes to please princess Zelda.
This fashion, Zelda told the seamstress, was in her true home well-loved.
In her time everyone wore patterns of bright hues, in the shape of mushrooms.
Now our handy seamstress set her heart on copying these patterns, which sell to many happy people.
I searched after some for my own, but none could I find.
An Ancient Ghost Story
Of late have I heard it told a strange lady walks around the castle in the dark of night.
She and princess Zelda seem as twins, but this one has not the light in her eyes- more as a dead thing than not.
When she is asked about these walks, princess Zelda does of that remember nothing.
What monster, or spirit of darkness, is this vision? So afraid I am of my imaginings that I cannot sleep.
For the Hero's Sake
Since her founding has Hyrule seen such hardship, but that is only a small moment of time.
Mineru, the king's elder sister, says of this kingdom that it must not be caught unaware, not even in the far future.
Princess Zelda tells her that this future is wrought already, that a champion does from the sky come.
Between the two, they made to find a way to help this champion in that distant time.
Hear my vow, sought they to raise up the Temple of Time, into the sky to ward it against evil.
All done so in far distant day, our kingdom might be saved.
In my heart I know I must help, and I asked of Mineru, can you devise the means to raise up in the sky these stones.
My words are not enough, but they save these memories, of the royal family, high in the sky for that future time.
The Day the Land Rose
Such a wondrous sight I have beheld that it cannot justly be described.
The Temple of Time I saw, and all land holding it, risen to the sky, both fearful and majestic.
As princess Zelda told me, in far distant future comes a champion to that place, the hope that saves Hyrule.
For that champion is it that I inscribe these great stones.
The king's elder sister, Mineru, sends now these stones to the sky, that the champion might read them.
A Parting Resolve
Rauru, Hyrule's king. Sonia, her queen. His elder sister, Mineru. And too Princess Zelda.
All whom I served, and loved. All whom are gone. Alone carve I these words upon this stone.
This stone, and all thirteen, serve as the royal family's record, my final work, full-wrought for all time.
Many the mark made by these much-beloved people - some seen, some unseen.
When I make remembrance of her marks, feel I a flame of hope, though small, within me.
It is as though these marks describe some grand design.
I cannot match princess Zelda in her love for her land. What more then, ask I, can I do for Hyrule's people.
Let my life lead me henceforth for a worthy answer to this question.
whether youve played tears of the kingdom/breath of the wild or not, PLEASE help me out here. in fact the judgement of non players will probably make a big difference.
these guys are called "blue lizalfos" in game. but thats not blue. right. right??? they're purple, right???? a blue-heavy purple, sure, but distinctly purple??????

This cranefly won’t leave my car I opened the door and waited but it can’t find the open door this is like a romance where the love interest (me) thinks the crane fly (protagonist) would have a better life if it found someone else maybe someone who was a crane fly and not me (human girl) and also stayed where it lives instead of living in my car (not a good habitat for crane flies). and so i sit heart slowly breaking with my open door the night air and the glow of the emergency car light and the buzzing of the psychologically tormented and long suffering crane fly. like if the bee movie was an A24
