#FallWIP

“You- you can see me. Why do you think the others can't see yet?” -Kyrene

#SailsWIP : Not everyone can handle sleeping while fires start in their bed.

#FallWIP : When I woke up in the Underworld, it was no surprise that I was dead.

(Sharing both because same universe)

Starting off #FebruaryWorldbuilders by staying up too late.

Day 1: World's Name

In the shared world of #SailsWIP and #FallWIP it's called Terreden. Though, what that name means to them changes

I'll have to post some snippets here soon :)

Got a couple WIPs to talk about. I'll try to use these tags to organize stuff:

#TangWIP (slice-of-life about a catgirl named Tang, & Tang AUs. Throuple! MILFs!)
#SailsWIP (pirates! Sirens! sapphic!)
#FallWIP (Underworld! Werewolf! The love of Death(s))

Funny enough, most of my primary MCs have both their parents, even if unknown.
So a wip I don't talk about much: #FallWIP

Kyrene's father is alive (better if he were dead probably) but her mother isn't. If her mother was still alive, Kyrene would probably still be alive (proper). Even if unhappy.

This #QueerPrompts speaks most to #SailsWIP / #FallWIP universe. An idea I'm still working with

Not exactly a "right" but the considerations around rights: how godbloods are treated. Goalpost for "godblood" kinda shifty. Some places they're revered but many places are afraid/detest them +

Talking #FallWIP
Other than a vacation from life (Kyrene's been there done that)
Kyrene's vacation would be more sentimental. She'd take the kiddo to see the homelands of her parents & imagine how different those places would have been thousands of years in the past when the parents (gods) were born

i should clarify that the setting is a huge messy fantasy world/universe. i wanted complicated issues to infect the worldbuilding & characters. This is just one example.
In #SailsWIP it's more of a backdrop/texture to the world
In #FallWIP it's more prevalent but MC is more preoccupied with death

#TangWIP : $11. Hardly anyone cis, het & male

#SailsWIP : $14? A teenager, an ignorable guy, the father figure to the MC, and a huge simp fanboy for MC

#FallWIP: $13. Two antagonists & an unfortunate guy stuck in the situation with MC.

At least how the current drafts stand

1
A final example (in two parts).
In #FallWIP the uprising of a merchant class in Tirin. At this point the noble class (godbloods) is all title, little political power. The wealthy and politically powerful merchants want the power and titles. The noble class is overthrown & godbloods are despised.

i could keep going on and on since it's a topic with a lot of complexity & I'm still working with it to try and do the complexity justice. No place at any given time agrees about this subject & world events in any given era ripples into the next.
Events in #FallWIP changes world for #SailsWIP +

#DecemberWorldbuilders Day 10
Sticking with #SailsWIP for December (w/ a bit of #FallWIP since they share a universe)

MC: Cheerless Cay, pirate captain

Relationship with family: Bad, if we're talking blood family. After all, she did intentionally leave them behind and join a crew of pirates +

What if I said I had a secret wip idea (just in an idea-dump file rn) possibly set in the same world as #SailsWIP and #FallWIP featuring a virgin goddess and her most devout followers who are hellbent on deflowering her as a means of changing their religion?

Fall of Minor Deity WIP
(wip title)

During a war between the descendants of gods & the newly-wealthy merchant class, god-blooded Kyrene is determined to have a say in her own fate. In death, she meets the deities Shadows and Souls who show her what living again could mean. For a price.
