About the Celebratory Tag Games

I know this is late, but I have to take a brief hiatus for mental health reasons, but I will hopefully be back soon! I will celebrate my first draft the way it deserves

Worldbuilding questions! In your world... What is education like? Is it private or public teaching? Are there schools? Are the topics taught more general or more specialized? | What is common for modes of transportation? What do most people use and what is reserved for those of higher classes/more wealth? | What is typically seen as attractive? What natural features and what artificial features? What personality traits?

Ayyyooo I actually didn’t think you’d still be doing this! Thank you :) 

Education:

So education before the Patrians invaded was usually done by the family if you were in the same trade as them, but different career paths required proper education, and so those paths would be taught by an known expert in that field in a school/monastary or apprentice style. These schools or apprenticeships would be specialized to the type of skill set you’d need for your job, as well as a side of ethics and morals involved with the career field. (It’s based off of and similar to the guru style of teaching in ancient India) After the Patrians invaded, they set up convent schools, which is the only method of education they’d accept for any of their jobs. Convent schools are private schools and you must pay to get in. Convent schools are in the american style (generalized until higher education where you would then get vocational training.)

Transportation:

Most people go on foot. If you’re going farther, most people hitch a ride with merchants and such. If you’re of wealth, you usually go in horses or caravans. Before the Patrians invaded and there was still Janapadhan royalty, (generally female) royalty went in palanquins. If you’re of Patrian wealth, you go in horse drawn carriages. 

Attractiveness:

Patrians prefer slimmer girls of narrow waists and properly pale skin, and men with straight features, both similar to Regency beauty standards. Janapadhans prefer defined waists and big eyes in women, as well as delicate hands or feet. In men, they prefer intense eyes, and strength, as well as curly hair.

Thank you so much @sarahcamillabarr for tagging me!

In the ensuing silence, Emma’s voice felt like it was ringing out. “How can you be able to do this, and expect me not to be afraid?”

Adhira straightened back up, allowing the man to scamper out of the pub. She sighed, all the exhilaration from the fight escaping her at once, leaving her feeling bone tired and weary. “I don’t know, Emma. I guess you just have to trust me.” She looked back at Emma, her familiar form, even in its unfamiliar state of disheveledness. She knew her eyes were still glowing, that Emma probably thought she looked inhuman. She couldn’t bring herself to let them dim. Let Emma see her as what she was, to her core, the part of her that had taken the oaths to protect and serve and to let the fire scorch the blood in her veins till only fire was left.

Emma didn’t reply anything, and Adhira looked away, letting her eyes dim and her shoulders slump. Mikael dropped coins onto the table, and all of them stepped out into the sunlight. They had a long journey ahead of them anyway.

Word Finder Tag Game

Okay so I posted this day before yesterday but apparently it never posted? Thanks Tumblr, you're the best! 🙄

I'm on vacation and I have three other games to catch up on, but since this was such an interesting game and from my camp nanowrimo cabin buddy I wanted to take a minute and do this. Sorry in advance for the formatting I'm on mobile so I'm trying my best 😊

So the words I were given were:

Glow - Raman glowed in pride. “She’s been giving tuitions to all the little children in the neighborhood, helping them with their alphabets. The parents say she’s a life saver. She’s not going to be wanting for any prospects when she grows, every family we know loves her.”

Impossible - Mikael looked torn. “I know it’s pointless to tell you not to try to save them, but Adhira, don’t take on impossible odds. Your family needs you back, I need you back. Here,” he said, fishing out an necklace from his pocket. “I made this for you. It’ll seem like a simple locket until you activate it, but when you do, it’ll let me know if you’re in trouble and guide me to you.”

Game - Adhira couldn’t tell whether she was trying to truly educate herself, or whether she thought it was all a game. Emma’s father would bring her jewels from the olden kings’ coffers and Emma would try it on Adhira first, ohhing and ahhing over the way it gleamed against Adhira’s toffee skin, and then despairing at how odd it looked against hers. 

Scream - Adhira was just a foot away, two, when Mikael suddenly shimmered into existence in front of Emma, smirking, and said, “Boo.” The sight sent Emma screaming and backpedaling, right into Adhira’s arms. 

I didn't think I even had some of these words so some of these were definitely a surprise! Alright, y’all, as usual I’d love to tag my entire WC crew and everyone else who’d like to do this, but it’s one am and I have only so much energy, so here we go: @jess---writes @adayforducks @sarahcamillabarr @fierywords @kaatiba @minnowf 

And here are the words for y’all: Why, Love, Beg, Happy.
