both!

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

I am Ahmed from Gaza. It was bombed more than once and my house was bombed. I was injured and my right hand was amputated. I hope you will help me by donating even a little or helping me spread the campaign for the sake of my children and my family. They are exhausted by the war and we are tired of displacement and hunger. Save us.

ADHD hobbies are so odd because it's 830 pm and I'm trying to decide if I want to organize the alphabet of my artlang or finish hand sewing my purse made out of denim from jeans I've been saving for 3 years, and I started both of these projects this morning

i will be releasing (kidnapping) bastard so he can go back into the wild (my house) but only for a little while (until you die) don't worry

@iamreallytryingiswear I forgot to share the news!!!!!

The bastard cat has made his way inside and been fully adopted (kidnapped against his will)! We're convinced he'll develop Stockholm syndrome soon and he'll stop crying to be let back out into the wild 😌

yuri and yaoi are some of the best, most sacred things in the entire world

atrocious that they have to go through this, but they have my undying respect for doing it

Israel has destroyed every university in Gaza but despite that, many students have continued their education thanks to Palestinian universities in the West Bank

My first Keffiyeh! I ordered this one from Palithreads on tiktok. The fabric is very soft. I plan on wearing this to an upcoming ren faire as part of my costume to help show my solidarity.
