Officially an Earthling, creative in several ways and possibly out of the box (is there even one?), might use English, Dutch and other languages. Beware!
Human rights and the golden rule are a minimum!
All social constructs might need deconstruction...
Old and damaged book maybe, but Wells is always a fascinating read!

The significance of weeks here is that female Ghist Town outlaws traditionally ate meat (usually just chicken) once in a week, usally on thursdays... The rest is ecology and politics.

Oh, for #Novemberworldbuilders I fear that all of my dystopian rules including extreme ones are based on real-world stuff... Except maybe the Hévan 'men don't exist at all legally' (which is true, the country has only women and a way to procreate without men too...)
What's up, #NovemberWorldbuilders peeps! Have you dared to get a little freaky with your worldbuilding? Does your fictional world's society believe something to be good or evil which societies on Earth (generally speaking) do not agree with? How did you come up with that idea?👀

For #Conlangnovember
Numersil has words with combined roots.
(Anderra = world; or- =old => Oranderra = 'old world', name of our world, efera= spirit => Eferanderra = spirit world)

Suffixes can also change a word sort, although lexical gaps exist:
edi = to eat, edil = food, edis = edible
#ConlangNovember 13: Let's talk morphology. How does your language combine words, roots and affixes to form new words with a more complex meaning? Talk about how it forms compounds, introduce some derivational affixes or show us inflection tables!

Hmm, for #Lovember
If I do have a sort of romance arc it's usually an understated demisexual virgin disaster romance thing in a friends-to-lovers arc that still focusses on the friends part too when they're lovers, if that makes sense...

(write what you know they say...)
Today's lil #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity, maybe related to yesterday's:

Is there a particular shape or flavor of relationship arc that you've written more than once, or otherwise want to revisit again and again? Doesn't have to be romantic.

For the #NovemberWorldbuilders
Haven't met anyone yet in the Pyra and Ronan story that is interested in The Church of The Nation, or the teachings of Manfred, but the outlaws have a minimalist 'don't do evil' ethic, roughly golden-rule based, basic respect 4 everyone + defense of those who need it.
It's #NovemberWorldbuilders time! We're talking about the concepts of GOOD and EVIL in our fictional worlds this week. Tell me: what does your world's authoritative figures say about morality? Is there a church or governing body that tells people how to live? What do they command?

All builds in Pyra and Ronan's story for now are part of buildings.
The purists of the 'creative writing course school' might not like my use here of what I call the 'Ghibli bird interlude' technique (or zooming in/out in 3th omniscient in general) but I think we need it more..

Current favourite song?

Mine is a nineties B-side, or the title song of an EP collection, something in between the ultimate grunge song and hypnotic post-rock outburst stuff with an 8-minute length...

Ah, communication...
November 13, 2025 at 2:14 PM
In numersil verb tenses are indicated by the vowel the verb gets after the root: -e- for present/neutral, -o- for past, -i- for future, and extra particles can be added like -vi- for a sort of perfect tense. One word subjects like a pronoun are added directly after that.
('to eat' is the example)

For #NovemberWorldbuilders
There's no clear villains in the Pyra and Ronan story, just bullies and irritating people and the like. Most of them have in common that they follow the 'traditional morality' of their culture (Nation or Héva) and are also empathyless and cruel, often in petty ways.
Hey there, #NovemberWorldbuilders! It's GOOD and EVIL week. Today, tell me about the ethics/morals of your VILLAIN. If you don't have one of those, talk about another character, particularly one who might deviate from protagonist's moral philosophy

No, the usual sort of misunderstanding in this sort of 'take it off' conversation isn't even on the radar for Ronan, but getting a bit of a panic attack when you accidentally arrive in the land where men don't exist is... Maybe the Planetary Council shirt works.

Heavy linguistics here for #ConlangNovember, but all languages I know (including toki pona) have nominative-accusative alignment, and so does Numersil, which has 3 inflected cases (nominative, genitive, 3th case is dative and accusative collapsed in 1 case so prepositions + extra suffixes are used)
#ConlangNovember 11: Let's discuss morphosyntactic alignment. How does your language treat the agent and patient of a transitive verb compared to the sole argument of an intransitive verb? Also, what noun cases does your language distinguish?

For #Bookvember
I do recognise neurodivergent traits in a lot of writers (you need to be an introvert with a deep internal world to be a writer already, and a lot have clear ADHD creativity and gifted traits too) but I have no clue which one officially is ND on diagnosis level...

Chaotic good...
My main characters usually have a deep internal sense of ethics based on fairness for all and rejection of evil, cruelty and greed, which in the case of Pyra is, for once, not contradicted by her environment. It fits well within the views of Nation outlaws.
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?

No burgers as we know it, and I don't think it's a culinary delight to Ronan and Pyra either, but it's a form of ultraprocessed food in fancy shapes... Héva is a strange place to be, and not just because they don't have any men...

still a bit shadowbanned on X I think, or is my opinion about jazz so controversial?

Humans are fascinating...
November 10, 2025 at 9:40 PM
I suppose Pyra is rather fiery (he name comes from the old Greek word for fire), not just with her red hair but also with her personality... It just fitted for her, just as Ronan fitted for the other main character in the story that now is called 'story of Ronan and Pyra', set in the 27th century...
What's your MC's name and why did you pick it for them? (Feel free to list other characters too!)

Listening to Cannonball Adderley.
They don't make artist names anymore like those old jazz dudes did...

For #NovemberWorldbuilders
In Pyra's time the reconnection of The Nation with the rest of the planet, and recognition of the alliance of 'outlaw' Ghost Towns as a seperate state on Nation Island (and member of the Planetary Council) are still seen as a subject of a lot of discussion in The Nation...
Heya, #NovemberWorldbuilders. The last two days were for characters seen as pure good or evil. Now for the morally grey stuff: are there any historical figures or events that are debatable whether they were good or bad? Who are the controversial people/events in your world's history?
