Clear your tabs bruh

I personally find the process of outlining the world map gives me a really nice constraint for creativity and often allows for the generation of interesting ideas based on the physicality of the world. I definitely think the detailing and actual world building should be focused on one small section at a time, but I find that having a physical "canvas" of what the different physical places in the world are like is a really useful starting point.

Nwah what in oblivion are you yapping about

How has nobody mentioned Simon getting the throat of the world?

The joy I get seeing my maps on here is immeasurable

1:00 for one, that hasn’t always been true. Chinese emperors/dynasties from time to time dedicated themselves to one belief system over others, or just tried to establish more firm separation. Off the top of my head, empress Wu was a devout Buddhist, but not *particularly* into Confucianism, by sexist virtue of necessity. The Qin dynasty notably despised the Confucian historians who kept badmouthing them for their warcrimes too. Secondly, I don’t think that’s as weird as westerners make it out to be. Don’t we do the same thing in North America and Europe? Fairys aren’t mentioned in the Bible. neither are witches, the undead, dragons (well… there aren’t flying fire breathing dragons in the Bible), coronation stones, werewolves, et cetera. Melding folk and philosophical belief with religious doctrine is something that happens everywhere, the difference is that in China all three are codified sets of beliefs. Edit: you could also say that China is (somewhat) unique in that its native folk religion survived alongside organized religion as a semi-separate entity.

11:53 interestingly, the Jews at the time did believe in other gods. At least in the sense that they probably existed and helped their followers at least. It’s just that their god was 1) a jealous mofo who didn’t like the Jews talking to other gods. And 2) that the God of the Jews was seen as supreme and sort of in his own class compared to the other gods the Jews were aware of. I think it’s helpful to remember that back then, you didn’t need to “prove” that a God existed, people just took your word for it. It’s not that people in ancient times were necessarily gullible, but if a Roman went to Spain and met a native who told them a story about how this goddess of theirs built a weird mountain in the distance, the Roman would take that story at face value. Then he’d go home to tell his family about the weird mountain making goddess he learned about in Spain. The idea that Romans did that intentionally as a way to integrate conquered people is a modern one that comes from the preconception that *obviously those gods aren’t real*.

4:13 I’m pretty sure the Portuguese were the first to colonize malacca

12:38 dune is genuinely a masterclass in worldbuilding. Idk if there’s another IP that matches it, especially in its flow of events - it’s hard to describe if you haven’t read it, but the history and politics of the imperium are super realistic in a way that even other stories that talk about trade and religion aren’t. If you’re into worldbuilding and haven’t read it yet, READ DUNE. don’t watch it, that’s not the same. Read the first book. And the glossary.

10:56 or an underwater water table, like the Garamantes! Especially in fantasy, a city in the middle of the desert is super easy to justify if you just add a water table under the land.

pov dune

1:29 LOL I actually think about the tactical viability of the solitude arch every time I visit the city. I have to assume that it’s been magically reinforced. I mean the city is what like 4000 years old? There was definitely a mage that realized how unsafe it was and enchanted it, especially considering it was the base of operations for the rebels during the war of the red diamond

8:27 I mean… sure. But the Amharic highlands famously stopped the Ethiopians from setting up a more centralized medieval state, as the Egyptians and Arab Muslims did on their borders.

"Mount Doom" And similarly "Death Mountain" although there are some chill rock people there, so maybe not so evil

American "ar" is very much a monophthong, [a˞/ɑ˞]🧐

Time for volanshar 2

The MLP grimdark ashpunk part got a chuckle out of me. Bcause I've done essentially that in the past. I wrote an MLP fanfic that took the characters though a post apocalyptic alternate universe where the sky is filled with smoke and everything is covered with ash. I later revised it, taking ot out of the MLP universe and building my own world around the story that I had created. Ive been working on that world ever since. Writing stories across both alternate universes and several different time periods. Spanning from the bronze age up to the industrial revolution of the world.

I can't believe I'm late.....

Tellia rise!

Thumbs up for "white people like to climb up tall shit and slide down it"
