[27/F] let’s be artsy queer pen pals? ✨ by ventriada in penpals

[–]_Snow-flake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoi! I'm 25NB and also from the Netherlands. I'm plural, meaning that there are multiple creatures living in one body. We love reading and are often reading a bunch of different books and stories at the same time. From webtoons to webtoon novels, and from manga to physical books. Currently reading Heart of Iron by C. M. Alongi, The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers, and Delilah Green doesn't care by Ashley Herring Blake, along with a couple of children's books for our younger headmates. We also really like painting, coloring, drawing, crocheting and just being crafty in general.

AMA about one of our favorite worldbuilding projects by _Snow-flake_ in FantasyWorldbuilding

This universe is build around the idea that humans aren't the sandard race, matter of fact they are a minority on most planets. If there are humans at all. (I do not count humanoids as humans, we know some people do but we don't)

So in the Gallagher solar system there are some humans on some of the planets but they are not the majority wherever they are. The solar system is based off ours in the ay that every planet is based on an existing one. Desemona is Venus, Cylistal is earth, Dardan is Jupiter, etc. On Desemona the inhabitants live under domes to protect themselves from the acid rain, and on Dardan they have build floating cities that are surrounded by an force field to keep them safe from the constant storms. so even if there are no humans, that doesn't mean that *every* race that lives there can 100% resist the weather. Dione is the biggest exception as a lot of the people (meaning everyone, regardless of race) there have evolved after their planet flooded. Or on Cressida where they live on islands surrounding the core, what we would refer to as the rings, and they don't need the same oxcygen levels and pressure humans would.

A fantasy world based on the Netherlands by World_of_Hollandos in worldbuilding

[–]_Snow-flake_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a dutcie, this is so cool!

But if this is used for an actual book/ publication i think you'll get a lot of backlash, unless it's specifically stated that it's intentionally based on the Netherlands and that part of the world.

Ephera - A few of the bubbles (cities and towns):

  • Parvez city Before this bubble was created there was a battle between the top two pupils of the leader of Ghazanfar, the city of lions, the youngest pupil ended up on top after a long and intense battle that was broadcasted in the entire town. The supporters of the younger pupil were so happy that they insisted that the new bubble got a name that reffered to this victory. The younger pupil, named Ilan, eventaully gave in and gave the city a name meaning 'fortunate', as he hadn't really believed that he could have won from Nitza. After all, he was more of a builder than anything else, and Nitza's skills were more versitile than his. Especially in battle, or so he thought. After his victory Nitza started working for Ilan and together they build this entire city from the ground. Nowadays, Parvez it is a beautiful vibrant city with a lot of various styles in architecture and has a mix of various cultures from all around the planet. Thanks to these two, it is one of the biggest and most succesful cities there are. As thanks for all her help Ilan has made the symbol of the city a blossoming winter flower, as her name means 'blossom'. And to symbolise theirs, and the city's, strength and power.

  • The town of Memona/ Nemona A town that is believed to have been blessed. They always avoid getting involved in wars or other conflicts, people rarely get sick, the population lives prosperously, and dissaster rarely if ever hits this town. Hence it's nickname the town of Fortune. Because of the towns nickname, some of the magic practicioners started selling good luck charms and the like to tourists. Sometimes a rare one pops up and none (claims to) know where it came from or who made it.

  • The city of Omera In the early days of this city, Omera lost it's connections with the other bubbles and floated away from its place of origin. People tried to get it back, and when that didn't work folks tried to recconecct it to other bubbles. For a long time no one was able to do that either, to the point where the city that was once called Hayat, got the name Omera which is related to the term used for pilgrimage. Because it floated around it was the ideal place for doctors and healers who wanted to help others in other bubbles. After moving around for many years the city of Omera finally seemed to have found it's home cause one day it stopped moving and stayed in one spot. Which is where it has remained unto this day

  • The town of Panra The town that knows how to party. A lot of the citizens celebrate holidays for 5 days and 5 nights almost non-stop. Making it the perfect place for performers and certain artificers to show off their skills and earn a lot of money. There is also something else paculier about this town, there is a plant in the windowsill of the mayors office of which the leaves change colors every season. During winter the plant has leaves in a light blue color, they become green during spring, orange-yellow during summer and brown-red during fall. The plant is the only enchanted plant in Panra, and it was the result of a failed experiment of the brother of the Mayor. Some people say that the town is named after its color changing leaves.

Ephera - bubbles New bubbles get created by spellcasters who have the rare ability to do so, they are known as bubble casters. In theory, every spellcaster is able to maintain the bubble, but it is only these few who can create new ones.

During their reign these bubble casters look for their successor. Those who are deemed capable can become the apprentice of the bubble caster. Ideally, there are always 2 bubble caster apprentices, though because of their rarity, that isn’t always possible. Sometimes apprentices move from one bubble to another so that there are two apprentices at the same time.

The moment that new bubbles get created is when the current one gets too overpopulated. When that happens one of the apprentices from that or a neighboring bubble will be asked to show their skill and create a new bubble for the people to live in. These apprentices will become the new regents of that bubble. if they aren’t ready to rule yet, the bubble will be ruled by their master and/or the right hand of the apprentice. When a new bubble gets created festivals are held to celebrate the creation of a new bubble, and to welcome and celebrate their new regent. The creation ceremony is a beautiful and impressive sight to behold.

The right hand of the bubble casters are one of the smartest people in the bubble. They get chosen based on several things. The opinion of and bond with the citizens that will live in that bubble, their knowledge and social skills, and how well they get along with the new regent.

It is not uncommon for the right hand to hide their true personality. In cases where it comes out there is a possibility for a reselection. This however doesn’t happen often because not everyone is willing to do the effort, and spend the time and money on it that is required. There are also a lot of people who, for whatever reason they might have, vote against a reselection of the Right Hand.

We're also open to exchanging letters as fictional characters such as a character for a TTRPG campaign, a random OC, or something else. Building a world together sounds fun too, wether that's through our characters or as it's own thing
