Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Fauna and Flora)

Fauna and Flora Worldbuilding Questions:

What are the most common animals or plants, the fly, pigeon, grass and weed equivalents in your world?

What are humans or others’ relationship to fauna and flora? (For example, are some groups more respectful, reverent, or caring of their environment? Why?)

Who in your cast of characters cares most about your world’s fauna and flora? Who cares least?

Who nurtures or exploits your world’s plant and animal life?

Where are plants and animals more abundant or scarce, and why?

Where do plants and animals get their names from?

When will plants or animals first appear in the story, and what will their purpose be in regard to character or plot?

When did common species of plants or animals first appear in your world, and how did they evolve or adapt?

Why do certain plants or animals have cultural or religious significance – what is their backstory in myth or legend?

Why do specific plants or animals have economic value, and how does their availability affect this value? Do these aspects change over the story’s course?

"Swamp Goddess": originally painted in 2018, cleaned up in 2022.

I painted this piece back in 2018 and it is one of my most popular prints to date. It is an homage to my home of Muskoka and the swamp by my cottage that we call Goo Lake.

Fun fact: my dad brought home to me a baby snapping turtle to keep as a pet when I was around 10 years old. I named him George Bush. (why, you ask? No idea, I am not even American 😆) I had George for one week before he escaped and my mom found him under their bed, so we had to release him. We brought him to Goo Lake, and I like to think he is lord of that swamp now.

Prints found through my website: www.lindsayvanek.com

Quote

A sophisticated human can become primitive. What this really means is that the human's way of life changes. Old values change, become linked to the landscape with its plants and animals. This new existence requires a working knowledge of those multiplex and cross-linked events usually referred to as nature. It requires a measure of respect for the inertial power within such natural systems. When a human gains this working knowledge and respect, that is called 'being primitive.' The converse, of course, is equally true: the primitive can become sophisticated, but not without accepting dreadful psychological damage.

from Children of Dune by Frank Herbert

So we all know by now that lots and lots of people have experienced P.A.D.S., Post Avatar Depression Syndrome. Basically people feel this intense grief for our planet and this longing for Pandora, so much so that people have committed suicide in hopes of being reincarnated in a place like it. But I want to show you another side.

I don’t believe that I have pads. In fact, I think I’m quite the opposite. I always feel so good after watching Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. I feel connected to nature, to myself, and at the same time a bit distanced from everyone else because I feel like this. I haven’t found anything like this on the internet yet, but maybe there’s someone else out there who feels like I do.

Not only do I feel happy, connected, engaged, and motivated to be a better person to try to save our planet, I also feel anger. Angry that this movie is a wake up call. We see that earth has been deemed a wasteland of pollution, and so the government takes matters into their own hands and does anything possible for profit, for revenge, for their own selfish selves. Now I’m not saying that I’m not selfish, I’m just saying that that is pretty much exactly how we will end up if we continue doing nothing.

I’m not sure if this was the message that James Cameron intended to send back in 2009, but it pretty much is. I think that we, as a global population can do better. Instead of saying “I’ll get to it one day” or “I start next week”, or next month, or next year, or once this or that, we can start today. Or if you’re like me on here when you should be sleeping, start in the morning.

You can start by taking a shower that’s 5 minutes shorter. Try to decrease it every week. Try carpooling. Try more meatless foods. That’s something that I’m working on right now, I’ve recently watched a documentary called “You Are What You Eat” on Netflix (go check it out it’s really interesting) and it shows how healthier you can be, the impact on the planet raising animals to be slaughtered, and the effect that those animals have on you. Growth hormones don’t look great. Free range is about 8 ft square per chicken. Not just running around in a field.

So I challenge you guys to be more like the Na’Vi and connect to nature everyday, even if it’s on your way to work or school and you appreciate the scenery. (Or even if you don’t.) Try some new foods. Help slow the inevitable destruction of the planet :)

Realization

That car you drive, is it a key?

Those songs you play, are they for me?

Round and round

The circle makes the sound

And the eye is lost to find what’s never found-

I hear a song and it’s all wrong

Reminds me of times I tried to create

A simple thing

The world doesn’t roll or groove

It floats and siphons fractured tunes

Last night they swayed to each other

His eyes met his,

They feel like brothers

I saw the light reflecting him

The place, it smelled like musty pages setting in

And through the sound I found where my restlessness had been

I needed it to break the spell

I left feeling like I never would have felt

And clarity in this new day

Tells me all we want is for things to never change

But to stay the same

How cruel a feeling to have die

When all you wanted was for them to stay close by

But others flow on as they should

And content escapes those who are left to fend

And hours die with each new friend

Because we’re all just here to do our own

We can’t help but be alone

Until we see we are our home

No one should stay through all the faces I have been

All I can do is listen

Unpublished Works
