#AwesomeCharacters

🤔 Idk why but I feel like Mireia would enjoy something like Mario Kart or Smash Bros - competitive, fast-paced & colorful fun. She'd probably get a bit TOO competitive tbh 🤣

For Kena, def something like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing. Something chill & wholesome.🧵1/3
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Hypothetical today! If you were trying to get your characters into videogames, what genre/game would you start them out on?

Would it be similar to the genre you write them in, or completely different?

I love when Cyrus is sort of scary. This place has three vampires, a poltergeist, and Virgil, who's basically a wizard.

But here comes... an OLD MAN! 🤣

Oh here we go, I'll try to keep this short 😅

The 5 Galaxies RUN on their collective stomach. Feeding humanity is a primary concern of the Commonwealth.

I'll focus on three culturally significant foods;
Pickles, citrus, and worms.

Last question on our "society, broadly" theme for #JanuaryWorldbuilders. What food or drinks are popular in the society you've been talking about? If can be an MC's society, or any one you have an interesting answer for.

Drink would be a spoiler, there's a whole party game involving a particular beverage in my WIP.

There's an evening snack, 'zaulee,' that usually involves something sweet. 'Hasheerocho' is common - deep-fried dumplings with a nut filling, often coated with fruit syrups.

The climate of Atalantis is quite mild, so most clothing is made of light linen & leaves a lot of skin uncovered.

Casual clothes feature a skirt called a to'ok for boys/men, similar to an Egyptian shendyt, usually worn shirtless. Girls/women wear a top called a ka'am, 🧵1/6

The 6 regions of Atalantis share many cuisine features but also have their own unique dishes & drinks.

In the Eastern Coast, a lot of dishes feature fish or geese. A popular dessert is honey cakes, & the favored drink is mead. STRONG mead. Even kids drink it watered down!🧵

Oh, Kira! You shouldn't have. I *love* talking about food >:D

The Library's 5 main campuses all have their own distinct cuisine, so I'll try to stick to their most notable dish. If you want a deeper breakdown, here's my post for Septopolis

Ess is a con artist with forbidden magic, able to control minds through touch in a world where skin is taboo. Forced into a plot to infiltrate the forum, her biggest obstacle (quite literally in this snippet) is her mark's suspicious (and infuriatingly handsome) son.

Happy #WIPSnips 14 - Current!

From RETURN TO BLUDEYE BEACH, the second in the series. Pardon the Redacted's, we have a ~cryptid reveal~ that's a little spoilery, as I dive into an attempt to explain the intricacies of mermaid interrelationships.

This might change later, but here’s a snippet from my current WIP, showing how Trikruna and the Cult handle religion differently. I’m already curious how much this will shift in the next draft iteration.
