Khonri spittin' facts about social media posting and engagement. I've been at this for a bit longer, so I have a few more things to say.
The sum of what I'm about to say is: "The love you receive is equal to the love you give."
Want people to engage with you?

I was unable to meet up with her today, so after I finished my writing, I did a little SFINCS reading and now I'm playing some video games.
I was in a proper fujo mood and I recently got a charger for my Vita, so I'm playing otome games on my Vita 😌

Dragons exist in the Pentagonal Dominion. They're a sapient species and have their own "homeland" (a floating island that orbits one of Starsine's fingers), however many Dragons left over the years and live in Aloutia or Ophidia. Or, like in the pic below, serve a Demon Lord.

I go through stages when it comes to my "first drafts." If I'm having a rough go of it, I tell myself the usual "I'll fix it later/make it pretty in editing."
But lately, I've been pretty happy with my first drafts. I think they're nice right away!
I know it won't last, though

Welcome to the second week of #JanuaryWorldbuilders! The theme of this one is SOCIETY. Again, relatively broad for now. We'll delve into more weeds later in the year. Today's Q: Talk about social classes. How are they handled? Do they have hierarchies? Nobles and commoners? Or is it classless?

Tynan was, of course, born two minutes ago, so they aren't just a child, but an infant. Legally speaking. And yet because they were born with instant knowledge of the world, they do not think of themself as a child.
Occasionally, they try to do 'childish' things.

It all started with Pokemon 😌 I was a kid and thought it would be fun to create "my own Pokemon" in my own region with my own elements (because Pokemon's typings are fucking weird?)
Digimon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, DBZ, and some old SNES and PS1 RPGs also inspired me

Good morning #JanuaryWorldbuilders! A very broad question that I have no doubt is difficult to answer: What was YOUR beginning of worldbuilding? What was your inspiration? Your initial spark? Another work of fiction? Boredom? A powerful imagination seeking an outlet?

-Magic-users like Tynan or the Kingeater who could take a wolf shape
