#winds ore deposits rivers and mountains how All Of It works naturally and Then i fuck it up magically and get hand-wavy

other people’s fantasy settings and maps being kind of nonsense and completely divorced from how things like climate, mineral deposits, and trade routes would work in a grounded, semi-realistic context doesn’t bother me all that much. not my own stuff though i need to build a world from plate tectonics up or it Will drive me absolutely bonkers

#one of the reasons i got a new laptop was very specifically so i could model plate tectonics for my homebrew world and fix it accordingly #you don’t understand i Need to know how continental drift will work a realistic shape of the continents and island chains ocean currents #winds ore deposits rivers and mountains how All Of It works naturally and Then i fuck it up magically and get hand-wavy #and get to building off of that. hence why no one has seen my homebrew stuff in so long. aside from the fact that i never share my shit #anyways even when its just OC stuff. i simply have to iron out the world a bit more before i can show it to anyone #and by a bit more i mean a lot and it’ll have to be pried from my claws against my will and better judgement #at least im not one of those guys designing an entire solar system and it’s largely similar to earth in shape size position n composition #i could be worse about this i could be so much worse you have no idea #is this necessary? no. will anyone else care? no. will most people even see more than 10% of it? no. but i care i will know. i will know.
