Fellow writers who come up with wild and/or complicated as hell worldbuilding! Share some of your highlights!
I'll go first:
Two major systems of currency that dramatically increase and decrease in value across the continent in direct conjunction with which particular major country is closer;
Magical person-eating eels who have their own entire society underneath a particular city that never becomes relevant because they think everyone else is frustrating and terrible, who have exactly one (1) ambassador to interface with the outside world but who decided that everyone else was (still) frustrating and terrible and now works as an assassin for hire instead of doing that and just sends the occasional trade good back home with their stipend;
Pseudo-electricity that works by summoning spirits from outside of the world to come hang out in your batteries

you ever write up a combination of words you're really proud of at the time bc you think it's vivid but it's actually so atrocious that you remember it eight years later bc it's burned itself into your long-term memory? just me?
#i'm literally laughing my entire ass off rn. i can't believe i found this fic i wrote at 15 and orphaned when i came to my senses abt both#my complete inability and total aversion to writing first person as well as the fact that the english language should never have been#subjected to its words being done dirty like this 😭#also i straight up fucking LIED in the authors note??? i said i'd broken my knee as a kid which is categorically false. i fell down some#stairs and banged it up and it's a tiny bit weak ig but i didn't break it? all any teens born after y2k know is eat hot chip and lie...#still not over the first line... the flip flop bit i remembered but i'd COMPLETELY forgotten 'a shriek seeped out of my throat'. girl. what.#how does a shriek seep exactly? the world may never know...#and the use of 'groped' is also sending me 😭 AND 'crash bash whump thump' girlllll send help holy shit i can't stop coughing & laughing#the rest of the fic isn't quite this bad but it's very purple yet ineloquent and rough. it's a good reminder of how much i've improved and#honestly i'd rather read this utterly amature fic bc it's at least charming in its lack of skill rather than infuriating like some of my#oneshots that are still on my page bc they're more comprehensible but just bad enough to make me cringe. getting mad at this oneshot would#be like getting bad at a kid's stick figure drawing. like. it's just kinda cute to see someone starting out on their creative journey#my old sw oneshots on the other hand are like the awkward growing pains of puberty. you just can't help but wince at the reminder#this is okay to reblog btw bc it's objectively hilarious and i don't mind ppl finding humor in it#len speaks

look. i know that the best thing i can do is shut up and get to work but like, i am so so tired you guys. and i know everyone else is too and everyone else is probably more tired than i am and im speaking from a place of immense privilege here, but im really really tired. i am educating myself and i am learning and i am being quiet and i am building others up as best i can online and in real life. but i barely have enough energy the shit i need to get done to keep my head above water, and its hard to be helpful and present and active right now. i know im complaining and i know that being in a community is work but i am exhausted lmao
#this ken's job is useful lmao#its hard when i dont pass enough for cis people but when i dont pass enough for trans people it hurts on another level#with cis people its: misgendered all day. ignoring the pronoun pin. explaining to me why people are uncomfortable around 'sensitive' trans#people. looking at me when im in the bathroom stall and that kind of thing. handing me my T and calling me 'she' to the other pharmacists.#little things. i expect that of cis people.#but with trans people its: asking me how long ive been on T and then telling me what i can do to make my beard thicker to pass better#its asking me if i have a binder while im wearing it#its not being able to use any other pronouns aside from he/him/his because no one will use 'he' ever again for me. in fact a lot of times#folks just start using 'she.'#im happy to fill a more traditionally masculine role than im entirely comfortable with if it makes the lives of the women in my life better#and i would never distance myself from other trans people just because im ineptly presenting my gender#but at the same time. i would like to be given a little bit of grace so i can wear the clothes i like without being misgendered by my own#community. i know that the comments made about my body and the state of my transition weren't meant in malice but i am allowed to feel hurt#that the care i try to extend to others is not returned to me#again i realize that as a white dude im the last person who should be complaining. and i understand that most of my trans siblings are wors#off than i am. im just feeling isolated and tired and every time i seek community i find that i do not meet the qualifications#this isn't anyone's fault really its just kinda how things are for right now. for what its worth im sorry that my body isnt right even afte#i did the hormones but it is the body i have so id thank you to stop telling me what i can do in the gym and what haircut i can get.#rant#sorry thats just been eating me alive lately#im not making a prescriptive statement either im just feeling my feelings lmao#delete later

Me, opening up a packet of the stuff the vet gave me: “I hope this probiotic powder doesn’t put my cat off his food. Can’t really help with his digestion issues if he doesn’t eat it”
I spill some because my hands can have problems with stability
My cat: *licks the stuff up like a kid who just discovered what powdered sugar was*
Me: “is this flavored?”
My cat: begs me for more powder and momentarily forgets his food
Me: “this has to be flavored”
#emma posts#sometimes him getting excited about new flavors for kitties is good#but other times his love of flavor exploration will lead him to eating a food he’s allergic to#and I can’t figure out what he’s reacting to right away because he just keeps eating the thing that makes his tummy hurt#at least I stop using things I realize cause allergic reactions#you’d think a little guy who doesn’t even know what allergies are would be even more off put by them#he’s so finicky about so many random things! but he loves new foods. especially more expensive ones. and that food was more expensive#this time he is getting a food for upset hairball tummies and has been enjoying it more than his old stuff too#I just hope that him traveling back and forth between his old food at my parents house and new food here causes problems#his old man tummy is getting more sensitive than it used to be and he’s getting a different food now… hopefully. and vitamins while he gets#these probiotics to hopefully make the change easier. I don’t want to jinx it but so far it seems to be really helpful#he hasn’t even gotten one hairball since starting the hairball food! and he loves his new vitamin treats#hopefully he’ll keep doing well with the old kitty vitamin treats#I want him to get his old man vitamins#even if he’s super healthy for his age. it’s good not to get worse!#i would know. as someone who dealt with not eating enough from medication side effects#I’m better now though! I switched meds and take more vitamins just in case#anyway. eating food is important for humans and kitties if you can get it it’s important!#and if your cat doesn’t get or absorb enough food they could get permanent damage to their bodies. never let your cat go more than three#days without food! try to make sure that they eat at least every 12 hours#they might not need as much food as you. but they can get a lot sicker a lot faster than humans usually do#I can ramble on and on about cat health though 😅 I just love my little guy so much#combo of better food formulated for hairballs and not giving him an allergic reaction with the probiotics too seems to be helping a lot#i knew cheap food wasn’t usually quite as good as the slightly more expensive stuff but holy shit. since moving out and now switching food#it’s been going so well for him! maybe I should ask my family to change the other cats food. I just hope that an extra 9$ a bag isn’t#off putting for them. i feel like fewer hairballs should be a great selling point

if i do go w sakonji being the owner im gonna pull that naruto gag for kakashi where every image of his face is perfectly obscured by some random object
leaf. bird. a large beetle. some paper flying in the wind. light glare. someone walking in front of him. a bag of coffee thrown across the shop. someone else's hair. speech bubbles. him facing the other way. etc
#kny x tokyo ghoul au#urokodaki sakonji#m tryna think abt how to change the storyline enough to fit w new characters#^silly idea that popped up while i was doing that#i think im gonna go with tanjuro died- kie overworked herself- nezuko was caught in a horrible (orchestrated) accident tanjiro found her in-#she gets ghoul organ transplant and goes home- its a slower transition than in tkg first she gets sick of human food then after a bit#the taste catches up and she stops trying to eat entirely- tanjiro's extremely worried abt her health yadda yadda- she loses herself to#hunger and goes out- tanjiro follows her worried- she stumbles across the temple demon who attacks her-#tanjiro tries to attack him from behind but gets knocked away- giyuu kicks the ghoul's head off- tanjiro immediately#covers nezuko with his own body and begs him not to hurt thema- giyuu takes pause and sniffs. noticing tanjiro's human. also noricing how#hes protecting a ghoul- yadda yadda he ends up bringing them both to coffee shop where sakonji gives nezuko a package and sends them#off with a 'come back whenever you need more'- tanjiro is kinda. in denial. not really processing.#nezuko asks if shes a monster now and his heart breaks. he couldnt believe that no matter what.#he swears she'll never be a monster to him and he'll always be by her side- they get jobs (nezukos 'job') at coffee place#im thinking maybe shinobu to take up touka's place storywise? shes (passive)aggressive towards them (& giyuu<3)#need to rewatch the first 3 eps i skipped them (dumb move) but im also thinking enmu as Sir Freakass#dont know how im gonna integrate genya now#i think i can give him & sanemi touka & ayato's line w genya being. aggressive but not as actively hostile as sanemi#originally i was gonna make him halfsies like nezuko (might still? need some ccg bitches in here) w sanemi as a dove#something something theres NO communication. everyone believes tanjiro is completely clueless except for giyuu & sakonji. when they start#working at the coffee shop everyone hides the ghoul shit from tanjiro (enabling him to stay in denial) up until enmu kidnapps him to#lure nezuko. her and shinobu beat his ass then shino tries to kill him since he Knows but when he looks at her staring him down#with black&red eyes poised to kill him he just calls her beautiful. stops her in her tracks and he notices the carnage & panics over nezuko#broken winged butterfly who stared kindness in the eye.#problem is that part was supposed to be the time genya saw tan&nezu and chilled out. if i do That^ thn i dont know how ill get to there#dont know how id shove genya anywhere in there in the first place but. whatever ill figure it out#this is fun tho#also gonna differentiate between like. character replacements w orig storyline & characters in that worldbuilding#like the KNY Clan au is its own story shit but with naruto mechanics while this is Tokyo Ghoul story but w KNY characters. KNYxTokyo Ghoul#ive thought abt it a few times but if i started replacing naruto characters w kny ones id label it different from ckan au. KNYxNaruto. yk?

Why are there always new symptoms showing up?? I just want a fucking break ;-;
#hello and on todays episode of wtf is wrong with resident hypochondriac opossum#i think maybe im extremely dehydrated and cant absorb fluids properly from drinking them (i think this for a variety of reasons)#and its starting to become very concerning and i think i need iv fluids like asap but i have no insurance#and also if i did theyd think i was crazy and not treat me condescend me and possible even admit me to inpatient msntal health#also having severe pain in my throat spreading to my skull that feels like someone jabbing me from the inside#which could be a sign of a compressed nerve so that fun /s#jesus christ im so tired i need a break i need this to stop#the pain alone is making me dizzy#and making me sweat which is dehydrating me more#ive tried everything i can think of and nothings working#i drink plenty ive cut out caffiene before i drink electrolyte drinks i make sure i eat enough salt etc etc#and its NEVER enough#oh yeah cant forget the compression socks and two different meds i tried to help me not pass put#guess what they didnt work either#and now im worried that my dehydration might be causing my hallucinations because they arent typical for psychosis#and maybe even my seizures which is really really bad#like i could go into a coma and die if i continue this way bad#but like that cant possibly be whats going on right? surely im just exaggerating because of anxiety#theres no way itd be that bad#my gf is basically a doctor and she would've done something by now if it was that bad#but hhh#why do i feel like this#why else do my hallucinations get worse whenever i sweat or exercise#why else do i have an extremely fast heart rate and fainting and im thirsty all the time but the second i drink i have to go pee already

the thing about me is that i will be obsessed with characters who revolve around each other and will forever and ever even if they don’t know it and who tear each other apart but also are the only reason each other exist
#sure they kill the dragon but they hatch her egg too. they’re her first meal.#sure she eats them alive but she gives them purpose. the end isn’t a place really its a thief. you go there and you can never stop again.#you just go back and go back and go back and it keeps pulling you out of the ground to lure you back to it.#you’re the story and its the finish line but it can’t be satisfied by you crossing it once.#there’s always another dragon. there’s always someone there to kill her.#to take her egg back home. to die there to feed her because they’re over they’re ending it’s done. start again.#there’s always another dragon. and there’s someone there to kill her.#you understand? its simple enough.#there’s also the cult but really that’s just bodies. endermen are just bodies. they’re pieces to be pulled apart and used to dig into old#strongholds. plucked out eyes and the people who die screaming to get them. but they don’t matter. there’s always more.#someone has to slay the dragon. someone has to get her egg.#i think its obvious that the dragon is not a good person. because its a dragon. by definition it cant be.#but its important to know that they aren’t either. that they’re not a hero on a quest to save anyone or free anything.#they just want to kill her. they don’t even know she exists until the moment they see her but they want to kill her so badly that they’ll#destroy anyone and everything to reach her and shoot her out of the sky.#you know. normal minecraft things.

I’ve been doing it my whole damn life#tosses the bowl in the soapy disgusting water before I can say anything and doesn’t even seem to hear me when I tell her why I had it out#not even in an angry way. before she walks out the door to go on a walk or smth. what the actual fuck. why#not enough sauce left to do it again unless I have another helping#which I’d love but I’m saving it for my brother wow I fucking hate everything#no amount of food is never enough which is funny bc I fucking HATE food actually#I know I’m being crazy but wtf. wtf. why do I care the most abt being REASONABLE and not wasting food I could kill somebody w the avocado#rn I’m soooooo pissed#mine#it’s not just the bowl it’s the not being listened to it’s the always sssuming if I’ve left a ‘mess’ (read: sign of life) it’s bc I’m an#unreliable slob that should be berated shamed and shut up immediately just. fucking god#I cleaned up everything before having a single bite what do u want from me 🔪#I’m sorry but housewives w no peeosnal lives outside the family and house are neurotic abt cleanness and make it everyone else’s problem#guaranteed you’d be normal and not want to destroy all evidence of a family in ur house if u didn’t start one only bc u were supposed to

having several small but very specific health-related headcanons for human connor vs not really having anywhere to put them
#he has chronic pain in his right shoulder#he's allergic to strawberries (they give him a rash on his face & neck) but he's never been anaphylactic (although allergies tend to get#worse with repeated exposure)#he had an eating disorder for several years and can still pass out if he misses meals bc his body learnt to give him Stark Warnings#his testes were retractile as a child but resolved spontaneously without surgical intervention as the vast majority of retractile testes do#he isn't iron Deficient but he often has low iron levels and occasionally will have a craving for steak etc#dust makes him sneeze but it's not bad enough he'd count it as an allergy#he was a regular blood donor for every year after he was old enough To donate blood#but had to stop when he started sleeping with Markus bc of silly anti-gay 'men who sleep with men aren't allowed' rules#which he Knows is a silly rule but he won't lie about that sort of thing because he 'knows better' he'll wait for the guidelines to adjust#he's had pneumonia three times before#whenever he gets sick he gets REALLY sick in a 'you should be in an ER' sort of way but mostly he spends those days#beneath a running shower (passed out)#he also semiregularly. ends up delirious when that sick. his fevers get High#also his mother was a redhead and he's hard to put under or to keep under anaesthetic-wise#and pain meds don't usually do a lot for him Although he also has a higher-than-usual pain tolerance#not Invincible to pain but higher-than-usual tolerance for it and doesn't notice/won't ask#if he is Asking for pain killers he is in a lot of pain.#verse information (human)

i know that the point IS the pushing of the boulder up the hill, and not ever reaching the top of the hill because it was always going to be juuust outside your reach by the time exhaustion catches up with you and sends you careening back down towards the bottom to start climbing all over again
but for once can it just be about getting to the top and having a nice rest and then rolling back down the hill to start again? by choice? can i catch up for once and just feel accomplished for a second before deciding for myself, not for gravity’s unrelenting sake, to push another stupid rock up another stupid hill?

less than 2 weeks left living with my roommates less than 2 weeks left living with my roommates less than 2 weeks left living with my roommates
#i said i would clean the apartment this weekend and yet i hear vacuuming and scrubbing. so i think someone is being passive aggressive abt m#me having not cleaned the apartment yet even though the weekend isn’t over and i am going to do it today. meanwhile im too scared to go use#the bathroom bc i don’t want to be seen not cleaning the apartment and also having not showered. i hate it here i wish i was in brighton so#i could have a bathroom inside my room and not have to do this silent warfare over who is I. the bathroom and who is cleaning it. lol#purrs#like the kitchen is bad enough but i just hate living here sometimes bc we never talk to each other and we are not friends. and it sucks#living with people you are not friends w and who you think hate you. i never want to live w ppl i barely know again it sucks so bad#also i technically am friends w one of my roommates and that’s why we live together like it was the two of us who organized all this and the#the others came along after but it was our friendship that led us to live here. and after this year i don’t think we are friends anymore. i#think she hates me and thinks im a slob and ever since we started living together we stopped talking like we used to and going out to eat an#and stuff and we weren’t rly good friends to begin w but i don’t see us being friends after this experience. bc she’s so neat and perfect an#and put together and im a trainwreck on legs and also keep being loud pn the phone so she has to text me to be quiet and i left crumbs on TJ#the floor last semester and she vagued me in the groupchat and got mad at me for my chili exploding too lol. so yeah no i think after this w#we will never speak or see each other again bc all of our convos now are abt apartment upkeep and nothing abt anything else lole. and i know#i could fix that easily and it takes two to tango but also i don’t want to even try bc im uncomfortable too ♥️#LOLLLLLLLLLL ok i opened my door to go to the bathroom and as soon as i stepped into the hallway she closed the hallway door 😍 awesome. cool#so now i can’t go into the kitchen and im starving. awesome. this is really cool. i love living here i love this living arrangement
