a bloody star will rise over the ruins of your house, and your feet will never touch this land again

The lands west of the Mississippi are cursed by the wrath of the god emperor of horsekind for putting his people out of a job.

cruel irony that the united states revolutionized railroads back in the 19th century and now we’re like objectively the worst at trains.

Wow it's almost like turning a human being's identity into a corporate product before they're old enough to have an authentically formed one is inherently traumatic and abusive.

talking to people about jojo siwa makes me feel insane because i feel like the only person alive that thinks shes normal and fine

Don't worry, chances are they're just doing this for your reaction. They probably didn't even think it's an eating disorder... at least I hope.

Wasn't nepotism an eating disorder, no idea what that word means

surprisingly enough looking up what the word means would have taken you less time than embarrassing yourself in my asks did!

Do you have any tips for people worldbuilding for the first time ?

1: It's easier to worldbuild low fantasy and near future scifi. Figuring out how a few new elements interact with a world like ours is easier then figuring out how societies work in a world where things are entirely different.

2: don't just copy paste things from settings you know without considering the consequences. Be willing to remove things once you start to not like them.

3: social structures, cultures, religions, etc. are way more important to understand than things like ecology and geology.

4: care about your world. You have to treat it like a real serious place. If you treat it like something silly that shouldn't be cared about too much, everyone else will too.

5: draw from the real world before you draw from other people's worlds.

Spent awhile thinking about this thinking it was about spaceships. It works for those too.

this is so real

There's an orc attending your college. Your city is pretty diverse, there's a lot of human cultures represented there, and even harpies and dwarves are common. But an orc is still a really rare sight. And she's not assimilated at all, she wears the symbol of the dark lord around her neak, and the strange black cloths from the wastelands she came from, and she always seems to have a gun somewhere on her. It's strange just to see an orc in person, she's not like the green skinned monsters you see in movies, her eyes are pitch black, and her skin is so pale you can see veins, she's muscular and tell but also strangely skinny, and her teeth are sharp and spiked like a sharks, this one doesn't have tusks, just these rows of serrated teeth.

Everyone avoids her at first. There's something creepy about her. She doesn't move like a human. She emotes weirdly, being stoic during conversations, but sometimes smiling or laughing at odd times. In class it becomes clear that she lacks knowledge anyone growing up in your society has, but has extensive knowledge on things most humans will never know. She also very clearly supports the dark lord and the demons who serve him, and gets mad when his narrative of conquest and strict genetic hierarchy is challenged in class.

You end up paired with her for a class project. It's weirdly awkward. But you end up spending more time with her then most. It still takes awhile to get used to her mannerisms, and you have to convince her of evolution in a long debate (but eventually you do convince her). She seems strangely naive to a lot of things. Every time she does something that she considers a failure she goes into self loathing, and she gets really afraid she's going to be punished. You have to explain to her things are going to be ok sometimes.

You try to spend time with her. She supports the dark lord but out of a strange sense of fear more than the type of ideological support humans in nations not under his control have. When she does something that she thinks is heresy agaisnt him she becomes afraid. And while she's angry at people who follow gods other than him (which is basically everyone here) she's more afraid of them than everything. When a holy symbol you own touches her she's surprised it doesn't burn her, you have to tell her it's ok.

She has a lot more freedom here than she did back in the wastelands. You slowly help her realize she doesn't have to worry about being punished for sinning agasint the dark lord. She's able to go on the internet for the first time, you help her get everything set up. You also introduce her to your freinds, only some of whom feel safe around her, but those who do seem to like her.

It's weird just hanging out in her dorm. She can be weirdly laid back and introspective at times, at least when she's not nervous or paranoid. But when she's just relaxing she'll tell you about things, about the beauty of the desert sands, about what it was like to observe the rattlesnakes and condors and wyverns of her homeland. How she likes to observe the city, the way the diffrent people flow through it, she was scared of it at first but now she likes to explore it, and the way it lacks stars at night but the lights from the buildings replace it. She says she wishes she could stay here forever, that she wishes she could be an artist but that she was sent here to learn skills useful to the dark lord's empire.

There's something nice about showing her new things. You get to take her to a musical for the first time. Get to show her neighborhoods you like. Get to explain to her what public transport is (though she got scared feeling trapped in a subway car). You get to show her stuff she never got to experience because orcs are never really children, she loves getting to hold a plush for the first time, or watching cartoons for the first time, it's like she's finally getting to live an experience she never had. Even though she's a well armed adult she really likes plushies once she finds out about them, they weren't something she was allowed to have back home.

Over time she starts meeting people and learning things that go against her worldview. As she makes more friends, understands new things, slowly learns that she shouldn't be punished for mistakes, she slowly comes around to seeing how fucked up the world the was raised in is. She tells you she doesn't want to worship the dark lord anymore, she cries just from saying it. You hug her, and realize she's never been hugged before, she seems to really like that feeling. She bathes in the waters of a healing goddess, and she worships something out of love instead of fear for the first time.

Eventually the spawning warlock who spawned her and her siblings comes to visit her. You told her to be careful but she ended up spilling that she doesn't worship the dark lord, she ends up spilling all the things a warlock like that considers a sin. When he leaves she tells you she can't go home. Not ever. Never again will she see the shifting sands, or flying condor, or flowing serpents of her homelands. She's trapped where she is now.

You know it hurts her a lot. She says she feels like she's in a small pocket of safety. Back home she'd be hurt for being an apostate. In human lands outside of the city she'd be hurt for being an orc. But she's safe here. She stays in her apartment for awhile, while you try to make things work. She's finally changing her major to art, and despite everything she's finally free, free to watch the starless sky, free to not be punished when she makes a mistake...

All angels are genderless by nature. But many demons (fallen angels) take on gendered identities as a way of rejecting the society they were raised in. It's a very strange thing for many of them to adjust to. Some are fine with being genderless as demons of course, but a lot of them like to experience gender because they couldn't before. So when you see a male demon whose overly muscular and tall, or a female demon whose incredibly big breasted and scantily clad, it's useally just them trying to feel euphoria about something they had to hide as angels.

We Will All Go Together When We Go

Neither of them would be cis or good people going into it. (They both have transmasc energy to me).

They would have the most insane sex ever and neither of them would come out of it cis. or a good person.

Love this unreality because it could be real.

If you go to the pool this summer, watch out for False Caustics. They look like the dancing lights at the bottom of the pool, but they stay mostly still.

False Caustics (Praya dulcis) are in fact siphonophores that colonize pools with poor filtration systems. If you swim through them, they will burn your skin. Their sting is rarely fatal, but it causes excruciating pain that can last several years.

These siphonophores are colonies of tiny organisms related to jellyfish. They are the only known species in their group to live in fresh water, and likely imitate caustics as a form of camouflage.

The revolution does not mean a slightly better version of capitalism to keep the workers in line. It means no more capitalism, no more private property, no more ceos.

The revolution does not mean a slightly better government to keep the citizens in line. It mean no more state, no more police, no more prisons.

The revolution does not mean a slightly better Christianity to keep the sinners in line. It means no more chrsitantiy, no more universalist monotheism, no more converson at the threat of hell. (At least not as a system, I don't care what people practice on their own, even if it is inherently bigoted.)

Oppressive systems will always be oppressive. Attempts to remove things like racism, antisemitism, sexism and queerphobia from these systems only lets them cover up these things that are inherent to them.

It is psychological horror. It's someone trying to own parts of you that should not be owned. It's like being possessed.

You know you grew up in a culture that's "big on family" and saw all the ways it can to wrong when you spend a lot of time thinking about the close-knit family as psychological horror

This is also why you can't make a non abusive person abuse you. It's why it's never your fault if your parent hit you as a kid. Abuse is not just actions but a system.

Abuse has a goal behind it, and a lot of the time, it's about changing the victims behavior. If someone screams at you for not doing X activity, eventually you learn to do X activity. If someone hits you when you defy them, eventually you learn not to defy them. If someone abuses you frequently enough, and you begin to break down to their will... It is possible to reach a point where it may seem like you're not being abused anymore.

They don't yell anymore because you stay quiet and do what you're told. They don't threaten you anymore because you don't voice even the slightest disagreement or need. What used to be screaming fighting arguments have become lectures at your expense. They may even praise you for doing what they want you to. And all those mundane moments - breakfast, the rare kind act - stand out more. Your perception of the relationship skews even more. It's all normal now.

And it's still abuse. It's just reached its end goal - wearing you down so badly that they don't need to overtly abuse you anymore to get what they want. All they need to do is make a joke, or complain to guilt you, or tell you want to do/not to do, etc. etc. The fact that's all it takes now doesn't make what's happening to you less severe - if anything, it means you're in much, much more danger than you could realize.

It's abuse. It's horrific. It's just not obvious anymore... and that's terrifying. You deserve so, so much better. You deserve to truly be safe - not to have your wellbeing held behind fearful compliance. That's not safety. That's not love. That's abuse. It being psychological doesn't make it less dangerous.

Humbaba guardian of the cedar forest had one of those.

Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible
