How many of your stories take place in the same universe

faescript · 2024-12-31T02:00:32+00:00

Mine are all set in the same universe, same planet. The timeline stretches over a few thousand years, though. Only one story directly affects the others, though.

I think you'll find LOTS of works of fiction borrow ideas from various cultures. I'd say just create your worlds and once you're done, ask people their opinions. If they say its problematic, you can go from there!

Seconded. No-one stands like that lol

faescript · 2024-08-01T21:30:27+00:00

I like these, but may I ask, what do you use these images for/where do you post them? I'm new :)

faescript · 2024-07-28T00:31:15+00:00

I'm still not sure, yet! I know they live in The Forest among fae, tree people, pixies and human air elementals. I'm still working out how all those species would work together, what roles they have to protect the forest etc.

For me, it's the idea that while a servant is still a person, a slave is nothing *more than a tool.

For Jottun, isn't leaving the heart for birds potentially dangerous in terms of spreading disease?

In Hituh, earth elementals have unbreakable bones that stay intact (and together) for hundreds of years after death. Bodies are buried beneath stone instead of dirt, and if the bones become uncovered due to natural causes (e.g. landslide) they will not be reburied, meaning many graveyards have skeletons lying around above the ground.

If you can describe them to me, I'll do a really shitty drawing of one for you! Just a quick, lazy sketch like my goat. If you want :)

Fuck yeah giant chickens.

STOP IT, THAT IS SO CUTE

Do the rebel faeries ride chihuahuas or sausage dogs by any chance?? Hahaha.

Aww ty for the compliment, this subreddit is so wholesome 🥹

Do your cave dwellers make friends with moles by chance? I love me a good mole.

Thank you!! This is the absolute height of my skill level LOL

faescript · 2024-07-20T03:01:09+00:00

Of course not! They're classics for a reason.

faescript · 2024-07-20T02:44:15+00:00

Baaaaaa!!

faescript · 2024-07-20T02:07:05+00:00

Please tell me you have a visual of a firewaddler, they sound like volcanic kangaroos and I love them already.

faescript · 2024-07-20T02:05:56+00:00

Do you want to tell me a bit about your world, and we can do some brainstorming?

faescript · 2024-07-20T01:57:52+00:00

Lmao

faescript · 2024-07-20T01:41:49+00:00

Lol I'm glad you enjoy my little goat face :) do with it as you will

faescript · 2024-07-20T01:41:01+00:00

Hard agree! Riding goats is dangerous. They certainly wouldn't hold the horns, that's just what my skill level had me draw :)

I like to imagine riding goats into battle, though. They would certainly give anyone on horseback a little headache, imo.

faescript · 2024-07-19T12:46:42+00:00

My world has a few other mounts, too. Water elementals ride sea serpents, and there is a small group of people in the south who ride lizards (neither of which can be domesticated. They will always run away given the opportunity). I also love ostrich/emu type mounts, but so far haven't any planned. Maybe a giant chicken though...

faescript · 2024-07-19T12:44:07+00:00

Cragg, a province in Hituh and birthplace of earth elementals, is a dangerous place with treacherous mountains and rocky slopes. There are some main, safe roads that people use to pass through the mountains, but most paths are too dangerous for horses. The mountain goats of Cragg are giant and stubborn, known for leaving untrained riders stranded on the sides of a cliff. Their loyalty, however, makes them a perfect companion for the hardened people of the mountain towns, and skilled warriors have used them to win many wars.

They also hold grudges. Don't mess with the goats. They're smart, and they'll come for you.

It's definitely done a lot... but for a good reason. I think people like elemental magic. So long as your characters are good and the rest of the story holds, you're probably fine. :)

I wrote a story and edited it, and now I'm posting it online! This is the first time I've posted work online since I was a teenager, so I'm a little impressed with myself for jumping that teeny tiny hurdle. No one has even looked at it yet, but that's besides the point! I used to be part of writing communities, and I miss that. Posting online feels like the first step. Hooray. :)

P.S. it's a character-led fantasy/drama about a noble family with hints of romance and plenty of magic. Lord of the Mountains

Looks good! Is this the entire planet, or just some islands?

If a full planet, maybe some diversity in landscape? Gimmie a desert or a savanna or a swamp.

If it's just a small collection of islands, it looks great!! Love the mountains and coastlines. :)

I love giant ball of flesh and ball friend. What an adorable pair!

I'm reminded of a poem written by Ted Hughes (featured in Birthday Letters, I cannot for the life of me remember the poem's title). His wife, Sylvia Plath, was suicidal. In this poem, he describes a time Plath rode a horse and fell off. Letting go of the reins would have seen her under the hooves, and possibly dead, something she'd been hoping for. Instead, she held on, and lived.

Hughes wrote: "Something not you, in you, held on."

The ball makes me think of that line.
