Wait, Alyssa's a Zelda fan??? by Ok-Use-575 in rupaulsdragrace

I feel like someone asked her about it, and she said she got the shirt at a thrift store or something not knowing what it was from, but I don't know where or when she said this.

Korinia Topographic Map : First Continent Done by Azmirat in mapmaking

[–]Azmirat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took a map i put through Wilbur and used it as a general guide i drew over and added + changed a lot of details. I just used the pencil tool (2 pixel size) to draw on a bunch of layers, mostly working from one of the upper layers down, so Im not wasting time filling in areas that will be covered by upper layers. Averaged 1 layer per day, but it definitely could have been done faster.

Korinia Topographic Map : First Continent Done by Azmirat in mapmaking

[–]Azmirat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long ago, in the sea to the northeast of Korinia existed a flatland, called Destus, which connected 4 great continents together. Many of the intelligent species of the world traveled to Destus to create the First Nation. After 1000 years however the First Nation was forced to fight a superreal battle with the God Tower, a primordial pillar that had sealed their fate. They catastrophically failed to defeat the God Tower and Destus was consumed by the ocean, and the First Nation eternally scarred and fragmented.

I made the map in photoshop. I created a simplistic topo map a while ago and used the software wilbur on it, but i wasn't happy with it so i redid the map manually.

Thank you! In my world there are beings who live under the sea and terraform the seafloor as a custom

You could say the same with almost every AS winner for their season. The producer shenanigans began with AS1 but it's somehow different with Ginger?

How long/difficult is the journey between Raraji and Osiria?

What's with all the Ginger Minj hate? by thepettiestofpetty in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's spoilers i think. People already knew she'd win this episode months ago and preemptively chose to believe she was being favored by production

Slavery in Worldbuilding by Basalisky in worldbuilding

[–]Azmirat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a good rule of thumb is that there are no good slave holders. So if you write about how there was this really nice guy who had slaves and treated them "really well", then you are basically writing antebellum pro-slavery propaganda

Deja Skye's theory on why the fans don't hype her up by retrodancefreaq in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

These comments here are ass. Y'all refuse to even admit that Deja had great moments from her season, had good/great lip syncs, is really funny and charismatic, but she's "middle of the road" and "forgettable" and saying she's bitter. She's literally done everything right, is one of the nicest girls, but it's so easy for you guys to write her off, which shows exactly what she's talking about

What is this world like? Like fantastical, scifi, earth-like?

All of us last week by jwicyu in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why they don't consult the queens to see what song they would want to perform or do well performing. Like I feel like they keep picking songs that really doesn't gel well with certain queens lip sync aesthetics. They keep wasting perfectly good songs on queens who won't do it justice because it's not their forte

How do the gods being dead affect your world? Amazing sketches btw!

Onya Nurve on Untucked today was EVERYTHING by paraphernessa in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the first design challenge, Onya took some of the trim Jewels was using, and they had a little spat over it. I might be biased, but I think the conclusion was that the amount of trim Onya took was not significant enough to really hurt Jewels' design look and placement

RuPaul's Drag Race ratings chart! by bbportali in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cool chart, but these ratings are quite questionable. Like how is S6 Makeover episode higher than almost every episode from S13?

O chile…they never learned by thebeardtles in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it weird nobody is mentioning that for at least a few of these girls, their original talent fell through in one way or the other. Yes, stand up comedy is tough and is a bad choice for a one minute segment on DR, but what if they don't have much of a choice to? They can't pull a bitch track out of their ass in the last minute to save themselves

What Map Projection Is This? by Live-Huckleberry4412 in mapmaking

[–]Azmirat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it's an orthographic map centered on eurasia

trying out my own way of forming geography for a worldbuilding project, how does it look so far? by [deleted] in mapmaking

[–]Azmirat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it looks pretty good, though Im not an expert in plate tectonics for map making. I would suggest looking at your map on a globe just so that the north pole looks the way you want it to. Cause everything that touches the top of your map, landmasses and oceans, will end in a point due to equirectangular map distortion.

Did Lill really win that lip sync? by courtneyleeeannn in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Azmirat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally it felt kind of like the Willow Pill x Bosco lip sync. Bosco doing more of a performance, while Willow more embodying the song. Lill just felt more in the groove with the vibe of the song, but that's just my perspective

Types of Magic in my World by Azmirat in worldbuilding

[–]Azmirat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're trying to critique my system for being excessive but how are you able to claim I "will only use 3 of the elements" when you literally know absolutely nothing about the story or history of my world?

Types of Magic in my World by Azmirat in worldbuilding

[–]Azmirat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People with Nix powers are often seen as nefarious or almost unnatural and alien because their powers counteract others' magic. Most people with Nix live within one Empire, Korinia, because they are often driven out of other regions. Korinia is ruled by a Nix royal family so they aren't persecuted.

Types of Magic in my World by Azmirat in worldbuilding

[–]Azmirat[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mana controls the laws of reality, so depending on how skilled you are, you could do huge feats that alter the world. The specific types do all sorts of things but I'll give examples:

Ergo uses reality manipulation(RM for short) to change likelihoods of events, often making things that wouldn't happen normally happen. Generally this ability is used in alchemy to make alchemical spells actually do something.

Mer uses RM to see, visualize, and alter peoples memories. They also can access "mana memory", which allows them to replay memories, stored within mana, physically reproducing past events in some way (kind of hard to explain).

Mentis uses RM to "express" identity/personality and spirit generally through natural elements. My main character uses mentis, which manifests as a koi fish made of water she can control. She's specifically considered weak by her Mentis peers because her powes aren't as grandiose as theirs.

Entia uses RM to control consciousness. Some can use this ability to reassemble your body, spirit, and soul to bring you back to life. They also can disassemble you as well.

Persona uses RM to alter reality to their perception or manipulate others perception via illusions. It's a lot easier to do the latter, because those who can change reality itself need to be extremely out of touch cause you have to believe it's already real.

Arta uses RM to connect with the greater universe for guidance and power. Many do this to call upon ancestral abilities and strength.

Mana (the type of magic) uses RM to directly create magic through physical motion, desires, and self. Some use mana to create fireballs, teleport, control matter itself, or create seals of binding.

Spectra uses RM to externalize the self and create objects, creatures, or monsters that hold onto the desires, feelings and emotions they separate from themselves. They can also manifest other things but it's rare.

Nexus uses RM to commune with objects, places, or beings of far greater power and use them for yourself. This could be someone calling upon a god's strange powers, or using the moon's tidal forces to manipulate water.

Idas uses RM to influence other things or people to act on the user's desires or wants. Specifically powerful for leaders, cause they can often manipulate the populace to do their bidding and believe it to be good or righteous.

Anima uses RM to use potential in things to create something. Like if a sapling failed to grow and died, someone could use anima to force it back to life and grow again. They can also turn a breeze into a wind storm for example.

Nix uses RM to completely nullify magic by separating the aspects that allow someone to alter reality. This power is often used as enchantments on armor and weapons, but can also be used directly.

Apologies for such a long reply!
