Hello! Here is the new and improved #DecemberWorldbuilders!

Rules:
-keep it fictional. This means a fantasy/scifi world OR Earth as it is in YOUR work of fiction
-interpret at will. If I say 'book' but you're writing a TTRPG, pretend I said TTRPG
-MC/villain can be any OC
-reply with as much or as

Describe your cat’s personality with one photo.

Gonna cheat because even though this kitten is now 15 the wide-eyed stare has not changed. ❤️ (My mom's cat.)

I FINISHED A BRAND NEW SHORT STORY AHHHHHHH

"The elder race had planted these flowers and propagated them by magical means, before departing this forest."

It's a fantasy story about the damaging colonial idea of "conserved" land never including the native peoples who actually lived on it.
We made it to Saturday, friends! Did you do any writing this last week? If you did, share a short line from your recent writing sessions. Are you happy with it? Do you already have plans to improve it?

If you’re looking for gift ideas, consider choosing an original piece of art for your loved one! I have several small paintings that are great for gifting (or a nice treat for yourself!)

Forest of the Morning is based (loosely) on our 17th century, so it's horses & sailing boats all the way.

EXCEPT they have magical pterodactyls living in this world (Quetzalcoatlus sp.) so of course Fish gets to bond with one & can go much longer distances 🤩

Collophora ( @/collophora on IG+Tumblr ) will be taking us to after the fall of the Roman Empire, with a sapphic couple exploring an abandoned Roman thermae (large imperial bath complexes), likely with symbolic statues or murals!

When I was a kid, the only Native representation I saw in cartoons was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special.

I made Pow! to show that modern, funny Native characters deserve to be seen too. Watch us on FNX. If you like it, review us on @letterboxd.social and tell your friends!

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....
