#I've made a world where there are no fish or seabirds because they'd be infinitely more powerful in magic than humans are biologically ABLE

[i-declare-a-kaggath]

I'm over 26k words into a personal writing project

It's taken me several, several starts and iterations and character reworkings. I've probably scrapped twice as much that in things that needed to be restarted and reworked. It's been an off an on project for some five years, and maybe less than thirty thousand doesn't sound all that impressive on that scale of time....

But I want to finish this so bad. I want to make this weird sci-fantasy alien mermaid/pirate story WORK. The sheer force of bone rattling glee I feel when someone sees what absolute WHACK shit I've done will be worth it. Right?

#I've made a world where there are no fish or seabirds because they'd be infinitely more powerful in magic than humans are biologically ABLE #be GLAD there are no wizard pelicans or seagull mages #it's bad enough that there's an immortal lobster and sea urchins are used to made truth serum #it's BAD ENOUGH that in my “golden age of piracy” adjacent far far far distant future humanity has reinvented the latte #it's BAD. ENOUGH. #This world is but a forgotten trinket in a long unused drawer of the universe #left behind by beings too vast to comprehend in our infinitesimal obscurity #Left behind by that which would be comparable to a god being #you don't need to add magically inclined flamingoes into the mix
