Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

[theredscreech]

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).

This inspired me to see if Patricia C. Wrede’s Worldbuilding Questions are still online, and not only are they, they’re on the exact same page I saw them on in 1998. Somewhere there’s a binder of the Word doc I made of all of them and the answers I filled in for Baby’s First Fantasy World

oh so men beat and kill people but women are mean sometimes? maybe even behind your back? wow and that’s so subtle and insidious. and moreover, people seem to think that’s not as serious as beating and killing people. which, if you think about it, kind of makes it even WORSE. this will blow your mind since everyone has always believed women are moral angels, but sometimes they’re wicked nasty bitches. worse than men actually if you think about it.

like. “if we count verbal/relational aggression as violence, women are as aggressive as men” and if we count mice as kia sorentos then a man will see a car and eat it. if we count ocean water as drinkable and rocks as food then no one should be going hungry or thirsty. like you’re not disproving something you’re changing the terms.

not a day goes by that I don’t think about the wasted potential of the dothraki characters. irri and jhiqui as direct narrative parallels to dany (the enslaved daughters of a fallen khal vs the enslaved princess of a fallen dynasty). jhogo being the first person to ever protect dany from viserys, being the first bloodrider to pledge his loyalty to her, and remaining fiercely protective of her aka the princess/bodyguard trope. irri and jhiqui having a thing for rakharo after noticing that he’s suddenly wayyy taller than jhogo and aggo. that one time rakharo tried to outdo quaro by eating more sausages than him and burping so loudly that dany giggles after weeks of grieving for viserys. dany kissing irri’s hand better after drogon bites her. dany wielding a whip just like jhogo does as she frees the unsullied. this wacky gang of teenagers taking down the institution of slavery with the power of friendship.

all of this potential for WHAT. where’s the depth? why do they all talk the same way? why are their characters so similar as to almost be interchangeable? like give us a dothraki pov or at least just let them be real people like the westerosi characters get to be !?! let them be more than caricatures please ?!?

since tumblr wants to be all fancy changey, heres my idea for some new ui functions.

peace dove: let's you request permission to reblog from an op who's blocked you. if the request is denied the dove explodes like that one baseball gif i'm gonna gank you: let's you tell op they pissed you off and you're blocking them

the new pdf: let's op know you think their post is one of the things that makes tumblr the new pdf

rare tumblr w: sends you to the wikipedia page for the topic of a post so you don't act a fool in the comments not knowing better

Hi !! I saw a mulan gif set in a get to know me meme you did a while ago and instantly fell in love with it ^^ if it's not too much to ask could you please share the psd you used on it? (If you don't still have it or you don't wish to share it it's perfectly alright!) thank you in advance ❤ xx

sorry for the wait!! i don’t know if it’s going to work with any other shows/movies since i colour each gif separately, but here you go anyway c:

hey i was wondering what layers you use to bring out the exact same colour in different gifs. like the same bg shade of blue or changing colours to pink in the gif etc.

hi! first i create a bunch of selective colour layers and make the background colour as bright as possible. so if i want to make the sky bright cyan colour without any other colours in it i’ll do it like this:

repeat these as much as you want to. use masks to clean any areas you need. (like the character’s face)

if there’s not enough colours in the gif to begin with (like in the ugly sixth harry potter movie) before these selective colour layers put some photo filter or colour balance, whatever works:
