Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Trade, Commerce, and Industry)

Trade, Commerce, and Industry Worldbuilding Questions:

What is the primary currency in this world? Does each region have its own?

What is the standard (such as the gold standard) by which currency is valued?

Who has more relative trading power and why? Which commodities are valued the most?

Who is paid the most because their labor is valued highest? Who is paid the least? Or is labor compensated equally (and do pay grades vary by region)?

Where are the biggest centers of trade and industry? Why are they in these locations?

Where are the main trading routes and what are landmarks or places of interest along their way?

When was this world most or least prosperous, and why?

When business is conducted, what are the customs, signs of trust (like signatures on Earth), formalities?

Why is a specific trade more common than others (what context underpins it)?

Why are certain trades growing or waning in popularity?

if a game costs 20 dollars it should be equivalent in quality to 6 undertales. this is perfectly achievable.

if a game costs 40$, it should be equivalent to at least 13 undertales. this is harder to accomplish but well within the power of devs who care.

no game should cost 60$.

#undertale is a very useful metric for game quality i think #for instance: mass effect legendary edition is 9$. that’s equivalent to 3 undertales. just one mass effect game would be worth 3 undertales #and you’re getting all 3. that’s a good price in dollars per undertale. #or lets look at portal. portal is 1 dollar. so is portal 2. that’s the equivalent of 1/3 of an undertale. #but id say portal one IS worth at least 5 maybe 6 undertales. and portal 2 is worth 10 or more undertales. #starfield is 50$. that’s 16 undertales. do you know how many undertales starfield is actually worth? none. #you are now educated in how game pricing works. go out into the world and be prosperous

wait

since AH is over now, i may be past the point of getting weird, unsolicited asks about whatever goes on with them

which means

#/this/ is the obligatory joke post #now I can make the sporadic posts about rt in general #on my own terms :D #at least until the company dies #not yet praying on their downfall #nor thinking they can shine and prosper #but a secret third thing #(just casually seeing whatever the fuck else they do)

#it's an old frustration. an old pattern of thought. #i just feel that i have a brain that doesn't hold information. that lacks the discipline to gain knowledge. that is incapable of deeper #thought. and i cant teel you how maddening that is. to sit in a room and listen to other people discuss a paper you read in depth 5 times #like it's the 1st time you ever heard anything about it. how is that possible? how do i work with that? i read and nothing sticks. #nothing stays with me. how??? i was talking to a prof recently who ive heard is hard on her students with disability accommodation. and she #was saying how she doesnt see these things as a disability. how we're just different not disabled. ive heard the phrase differently abled #a lot of times. and i get what she's saying. i do. ad i get why she's hard on them. she wants to push them. but there comes a point where #you are quote unquote differently abled and you run into a wall that other people dont have. then what are you supposed to do? work harder? #but what if that doesn't help? what if that just compounds the hurt that's always been there? what if that leaches away all the wonder? what #then? at what point does a thing become too much of a barrier? i think there's a reason i dont run into many other dyslexic grad student. #everyone has adhd. it's a place where those with adhd prosper. but dyslexia not so much. at least not with the level of hanicap i have #and everyone's really nice. they want to help. but there's nothing anyone can do for me at this stage. it's up to me to compensate for my #leaky head. and i kno im not stupid. ive got a piece of paper stating my iq is above average after correcting for uneven intelligence. but #i dont feel very smart most of the time. i feel more like my uncorrected iq score that comes out at just below average even with me trying #my very best. iq is bullshit but there's something to be said for that gap. im smart if unconstrained by language and time. but were bound #by language and we're bound by time so what am i supposed to do? is there anything i can do? im stuck with this forever. theres no getting #better or making it easier. my brain is wired in a way that gives me the reading skills of a child. forever. and i just have to accept that #and im trying to swallow around that idea easier because the only other option is to choke on it. but maybe i chose the wrong career path. #one of my lab mates said she wants challenges all the time and ive chosen a path that's challenges all the time but im jsut trying to do #what everyone else can without a second thought. it's deeply demoralizing. yet here i am. trying to be easier abt it. #maybe im just nit cut out for this. doing a job im not built for. #unrelated

I want to write a Vanyel/Stefen modern-with-magic AU soooo bad but I don’t know Valdemar lore like at all. There are six books standing between me and feeling comfortable enough in the lore to imagine what Valdemar might look like with the internet and planes

#anyway I have unhinged ideas about what modern Valdemar #like. I’m imagining Valdemar as a prosperous #happy country with a high level of social development and technology #public transit everywhere. universal basic income/free high quality healthcare/etc #like. not utopian. not by a long shot. #but overall doing well (at least in comparison to some of the other countries on Velgarth) #HOWEVER they are having this really divisive cultural moment about Heralds and the King #bc they’re basically appointed by a completely unaccountable higher power? and they have so much direct influence and control over #the life of an average person??? why should that be allowed? #so there’s a movement for direct democracy which is very successful at a local level #and is slowly making its way into higher levels of the government #and there’s suddenly intense scrutiny on the heralds. so when Vanyel gets caught up in a series of scandals it does a LOT of damage to #the institution of the heralds. but Vanyel is very very important to the security of the world #bc he successfully prevented the detonation of a nuclear weapon a few years earlier so he’s sort of the only thing standing between #the world and nuclear war #anyway I think that setting is way too dramatic for a weird gay fanfiction. so I’m workshopping it #vanyel ashkevron #last herald mage #gay herald in a squirrel suit

the spirit of the 2000′s possessed me and forced me to do an ancient ritual, aka genderbending

#Drops's Art #Winx Club #bud has spiky hair because come on it makes the most sense most people should do this #where stella takes more after luna sasha takes more after radius #he has long hair because i refuse to believe any version of stella would have short hair (another of fate's crimes) #florenzo is a mashup of names florian and lorenzo. he's still more or less the same I just made him a fancy lad MW-wise #musa keeps the name because it's also a guy's name? so yeah. he changed the least I suppose #aamir can mean prosperous and I felt that was a good equal to aisha meaning life #he has locs because I thought they were neat #tyrone is just a random t name lmao; where tecna seems to lean more masculine he leans a bit more feminine #that's about it I think

The people of Winterhold, at least those who don't practice magic within the hold's illustrious college, are a simple folk that eke out a living by working the Sea of Ghosts. There is little pasture for grazing, and the bitter winds coming off the sea are oft as not to see a herd of cattle stricken with ague. Both cow and goat's milk are in short supply. What little is at hand is made into a fresh, soft farmer's cheese. But despite the humble circumstances, the people of Winterhold make one of the most delicious cheese dishes I've ever experienced. The elderly and the children of the hold, too young to brave the waters of the Sea of Ghosts, spend the day collecting seaweed, which they dry for several weeks. The simple farmer's cheese is smoked over a pile of burning seaweed, imbuing it with an aroma of the sea. It is then—and this is the most marvelous part—baked, being wrapped in a pastry that is composed of flour and horker suet. This permits the brave fisherfolk to eat while working the sea, where often they can only spare one hand at a time. When freshly baked, the molten innards of these dumplings steam and crackle, while the crust remains flaky and light, as though one were biting into the flesh of an ethereal creature. They are best enjoyed after walking several hours on Winterhold's frozen shore, chased by the onset of dusk.

...I'm listening (x)

#Mouse talks! #this person waxing poetic. thank you #this does feel a little bit written with the state of Winterhold post-Collapse in mind though lol #when they were rivalling Solitude in prosperity and greatness they could afford to have cheese brought in from other holds probably #or milk at least to make the cheese themselves... in short supply non-imported #more thoughts but I am literally falling asleep as I type!!

||. sometimes i think about how thor canonically is roughly around 27-28 in human years according to the fake i.d. of donald blake ( and chris hemsworth's age at the time that they based said i.d. on ) ... and then i think about how he's asgardian ... he doesn't age like humans do . and then i think about how throughout the entirety of the 10 years of mcu phases 1-3 , thor would have stayed mentally and physically 28 while everything was happening , and everyone was growing and changing and the stakes got higher , REGARDLESS of how hemsworth aged throughout the years and honestly that just gets to me .

#(if the avengers didn't kinda treat him like the baby of the group at least once or twice bc he stayed in his late 20s while they got older) #(i just think it's a crime) #(i also think it's a crime that he lost so much and went through so much at so 'young' an age) #(dude's a kid more or less) #(he'd only be 4 years older than me rn) #(and that's insane to think about) #(i wouldn't survive going through what he does but oh boy does he) #(anyways thinking about that... thinking about .... how much people forget that part of him) #(he's 28 in asgardian years TOPS and that just /ends/ me) #( ooc . ) — stories that leap from the page . #( headcanon . ) — glory to the man who toils for his land . may it ever prosper .

Hachi was named for the time of her birth- born precisely at 8:00 am according to the medical staff (as "hachi" is also the pronunciation for the number 8 in Japanese). Hachi's name is written with the katakana ハチ. It is worth noting that names written in hiragana or katakana do not hold specific meanings as names written in kanji do; they are purely phonetic.

While it's not uncommon for given names to be written in the phonetic-based katakana or hiragana rather than kanji, and while Hachi has no issue with the name or the set of characters selected on its own, it occasionally becomes a point of insecurity for her when contrasted to her sister Emi's name, which is written in kanji--specifically, the kanji 恵美 (恵 meaning "blessing, favour, benefit" and 美 meaning "beautiful, pretty").

For Emi's name to so deliberately note her as beautiful blessing while Hachi's name is much more simply based off of the time of her birth, well, it's prime fodder for (over?)thinking when Hachi gets caught up in trying to analyze it.

#my brain has not cooperated for ic replies this weekend (sorry to those waiting;;) but i at least finally got around to writing this out #headcanons. #i saw the name hachi spelled with the '八' (8) kanji. but it looks like this one is used for boys? #or at least it seems like it would be unorthodox to name a girl hachi using that standalone kanji...? i am not an expert though #ive seen the fem. name hachISE use the '八' kanji in it (八星) #but idk if this kanji would only rlly be used as part of a fem. ver of hachi where there was smth added at the end like w/ hachise #anyways. i've read that 8 is seen as lucky in japan because the kanji 八 widens/flares out at the bottom #which evokes the idea of growth/prosperity/good fortune...? #so those times i reference old classmates jokingly thinking hachi is lucky bc of her name it's coming from that lol #and in the end i opted for the phonetic katakana option ハチ rather than using any of the fem. kanji options i saw for the name hachi #bc i really did want 8 to be the primary 'source' of the naming decision. #GOD i am hoping this all tracks. i tried to cross-reference and check this against multiple sites/sources where i could. #but this is not a language that i write/speak so at the end of the day i'm no expert. #TRAGICALLY funny that hachi's mom was like 'the one who looks like me? a beautiful gift. :) the one who doesn't? ummmm eight.'

You must be in amazing shape from all the mental gymnastics you have to do to pretend the vitriolic shit you’re spewing is actually Good and Helpful. Who the fuck says “stop being poor” unironically? Classist bootlicking fuckwads like you that’s who. Shut the fuck up and stop being terrible for once in your life, you’ll be a happier and healthier person and will stop saying ignorant ass shit like “stop being poor.” Lol tell that to your local homeless folks, see how they like that “advice.” I know if someone said that to me I’d put them in the hospital lol, so I can only hope you’re dumb enough to have these opinions IRL as well as online

Yeah that is a great example of the classic poverty forward mindset!

You seem have made it such an important part of your identity that you would do violence to protect your right to be poor and not be expected to do anything about it!

You are the actual target of my exceedingly good advice.

You appear to be just like I was before I stopped being poor, totally unable to see your own leading role in your life and given to vitriolic attacks on anyone who tells you to take responsibility.

It's symptomatic of the mindset and frankly you would not be here yelling at me if you were not suffering from it so get better soon!

#lmfao #make better choices #get better results #prosper! #or at least stop suffering so damn much

My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu: (and oc)

Season 24

OC 3x01, Turf war. Always good to see Benson and Stabler together, even if only for a short scene.

24x01, I’m enjoying this crossover! Stabler doesn't use this soft voice enough. Benson handling Stabler well. Did Benson and Stabler need to clear the floor together? No, but I don't mind. I was a bit disappointed with the ending of the third part.

24x02, why does everyone gotta dump on Stabler?!?

24x05, I really like Carisi and Rollins together.

Shallow observation: Benson’s hair is really pretty this season.

OC 3x07, don’t know how Eli is in College already…

OC 3x08, Stabler, actually admitted to someone that he is in love. Jet’s disappointment at getting her thunder stolen is real.

24x09, Rollisi wedding! (Kinda surprised the kids weren't at the actual wedding) I get that Noah is really excited to have met his brother, but I do feel a bit bad about Benson. Rollins asking Benson the real questions. I think that’s the first time the show made me actually emotional about a character leaving!

OC 3x09, Stabler is definitely the one taking charge here!

24x10, don’t really get why Benson doesn't go inside with Noah… I’m sorry, but I like that dude shutting Benson down, when she tries to get the DNA fast-tracked.

OC 3x10, I don’t know why, but I think Stabler is funny. Stabler is talking about Benson, right?

24x11, Benson screaming at the rape tree had me laughing. It's just such a weird thing to do…

24x12, brutal end for Duarte. The kitchen scene between Benson and Stabler!!

OC 3x12, he should have just called Benson… he didn't want to go along with that cop at all, until she name-dropped Benson.

24x13, Fin and Benson's conversation about stray puppies was fun.

24x15, Benson apologizing to Pence because he wasn't the one who killed his wife… the end with her reading "king of the moon" was really sweet.

OC 3x15, I always like it, when we get a bit of background on Stabler.

24x16, Go Carisi!!! Finally, a good court scene, I feel like we didn't see a lot of court scenes this season.

24x17, Benson playing babysitter at work. I think this episode actually really showed Benson as Captain rather than Detective.

OC 3x17, the ending with Stabler and Eli was cute.

OC 3x18, the description for Stablers fake dating app is awesome. Especially everyone's reaction to it.

24x19, Benson saying "the only thing worse than a partner with no loyalty, is a partner with blind loyalty." is ironic, like do you remember your partnership with Stabler and the absolute blind loyalty you had to each other? (Not that I mind their blind loyalty)

OC 3x19, Bernie is back!

OC 3x20, well hello there Kathy.

24x21, I still really like Carisi, don’t feel like he got enough screen time. Finally, Benson and Stabler back together! Those two just know how to act, especially together.

OC 3x21, Protelliot! As if Stabler would protect the case over Benson. Just want to point out, that that particular Umlaut is not a German one… OC has a lot of small, funny, random moments that I really enjoy. Last episode it was Stabler and Bell having to lean over the counter, this episode it's Reyes enjoying his free sandwich. Rollins! What’s with the clips of real life criminals?

24x22, so here’s the thing, I watched this episode before I started to watch the actual show. But it is kinds nice to actually know who these people are and what’s going on. McGrath really hasn't gotten any better… the Churlish Muncy friendship has been a highlight for me this season. I just love that whole take out scene (doesn't matter that I’ve already watched it a ton). I think Benson had a higher bounty on her head before.

OC 3x22, have watched this episode before as well. The Diner scene!! Stabler didn't necessarily need to carry Benson outside, but I’m really happy he did. The hospital scene!!! Sad to lose Whelan. Also, that poor Medic, was there really just one Medic?!? Like, the poor girl had to run like a mad woman. The ornament and the compass!!! That ending was just really sweet!

I kinda missed the villains whose storylines would play out over a (half) season on OC. SVU had a lot of cast changes and I didn't really care for any one of them. But I did enjoy Churlish and Muncy teaming up.

I’m a little disappointed on how little Benson/Stabler interactions there were this season compared to the two before. At least, there were three crossovers.

Mostly, I can’t believe I actually managed to binge both shows before they come back. Because it was not looking good for that goal the week before Christmas. And I even have a week to spare!

Favorite Episodes: OC 3x09, OC 3x21, 24x22, OC 3x22

Favorite Lines:

"I did feel like Stabler was my home." Benson 24x09

"There's nobody that I trust more to bring my son home in one piece than Stabler." Benson 24x12

"I wish I could bottle this." Stabler 24x22 (don’t we all)

*Lead you to happiness, Liv." Stabler OC 3x22
