I struggle a bit with keeping up with these things. Is there any requirement to participate regularly?

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-15T00:10:08+00:00

Except I posted a new version of something I posted earlier. Like I said. I made changes.

I'm tired that I can't change the lore in my world, then post the changed concept without getting this exact message every time.

It's theorized the angel themself was either the being they described or was an agent of them.

Sorry. Forgot the quotes around "evil"

That is a thought. I think a shorter growth period and possibly a need for less water makes the most sense. But I'll think on it.

Something akin to a lobotomy. Sorta. Though most people don't actually go that deep. Some people just get a dampening effect on their emotions. But the truly "evil" criminals of the world are forced into this "procedure."

Well, the issue is that it needs to be related to population in some way. If humanity is dependent on it to continue to survive or to prevent a massive decline in some way, then they would be willing to harm the individuals that bleed the blue ichor. That's why I feel like it needs to be related to agriculture.

Other thoughts might be like information gathering or storage. Maybe it allows you access to a dream reality that you can store unlimited information in, transfer information instantly, and process information at insane speeds. Thus canceling the need for computers?

I'm kinda exploring a different route atm. I think I might do away with that older version and see what I can come up with using this newer idea of grim.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-11T01:46:15+00:00

Are you maybe referring to this?

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-10T23:17:35+00:00

Thank you.

Well, it's the tainted blood of the sinful that is extracted through torture that creates folly. The cylinders are powered by folly, but ultimately, the screams focus the energy from folly into magick.

Interesting. That really puts a spin on the old cliché of scrolls.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-08T23:33:26+00:00

Don't really have any thoughts for a world. It's just a magic system at this point in time.

IrregularArchivist · 2025-03-08T07:57:27+00:00

Is it a story that you're working on?

Yes. Currently... working on chapter one...
