"Ah Yes, John Arcane. He Must Have A Respectable Career Of Doing Job At Place."

Wanted to save my response to this. Felt important.

They probably won't listen even if you have a source. I mean, every single reputable medical organization has been saying for years now that minors having access to gender affirming care is essential to their overall health. Facts don't mean anything when the ruling class prefers rhetoric over reason. It is a good thought, but don't waste your energy that could be spent making art, forming connections, or fostering communities by debunking trolls. The professionals have already debunked them. What can you do to make things better than they are? For your life, for others, and for your wider community.

Comic Sans just wanted to help. Stop hating her so relentlessly. It is not fair

Anybody else got that Evergiven sized writers block

Quantum hat. You didn't give enough exposition about the goat, so now the goat lives in my mind with a superposition of all possible hats many of which have yet to be invented.

imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

Why are they out in the rain? Take them inside! Offer them a hot beverage and a woolen blanket! They are weary and need bedtime stories and snacks!

Hey! Also, lots of libraries have resources for learning ANY language. Libraries are awesome.

You can sign up for a bunch of online resources for free with Transparent Language Online (transparent.com), through your local library.

I've used it for a while, and it seems that a lot of the ASL backend stuff is taken from signingsavvy.com (normally you'd have to pay).

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

Characters having assumptions about the world that are fundamentally incorrect, but correct enough. Too often I see people create extremely elaborate magic systems, and then make all the characters automatically have a clear grasp on how the system works.

There is nothing wrong with intricate magic systems, I love them too! However, the secrecy and mystery of unknown magic shouldn't be limited to only the very rare and powerful, because here's the thing: We have no idea what gravity is. Gravity, the most common and observed *thing* in all of science. Is it a particle? A curve of space-time? A force?

Guess what? Curves and particles and forces are all made up by people. They are concepts that we use to try to understand how the world works. They are never fully accurate, but they are accurate enough for what we need them for. The universe is chaos, and we apply rules to it to simplify reality. Reality exists beyond these rules, though. It is a sphere of undefinable complexity.

Here's an example: Magic Missile, the most common and used spell of all evocations. Is it caused by a sudden rise in local portent? Or maybe it is an extension of the caster's arcane properties? A sigil?

Guess what? Sigils and poetent and incantation are all made up by wizards. They are concepts that magic wielders use to try to understand how magic works. They are never fully accurate, but they are accurate enough for what they need them for. Magic is chaos, and we apply rules to it to simplify spellcasting. Magic exists beyond these rules, though. It is a sphere of undefinable weird.

Tldr; Magic=Physics, Wizards=Scientists. Nothing is certain, and we exist only in the amorphous bubble of theory

What are some world-building ideas or tropes that you want to see more of? I enjoy world-building but want something new or exciting or out of the ordinary to help get the juices flowing again

Keeping this guide for later :D

A boy can dream, can't he?

Me, except I was also the little boy who liked trains. Still undiagnosed, and a girl now.

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
