This gave me a flash of anxiety about having to do geometry again.

No... it's over, I'm free, I never have to worry about the volume of a cone again...

You can have a large volume in a cone of ice cream instead

#we had our strength unit of middle school there #in winter for some reason so you’re going out into the cold all sweaty #so I was doing a lil jog/run to get inside quicker #massacred my knees #didn’t even slip on ice I slipped on the salt #so this too scared the shit out of me

I LOVE when I’m on Ao3 reading smut and the author censors G-d, it’s like, huh this gay porn was written by another Jew, fun!

Honestly probably the most important bit of worldbuilding advice out there is: do your research

Which I know isn't in line with the usual quick and easy step-by-step worldbuilding guides that float around, nor with the super in-depth "develop the entire geological history of your world" approach (and both of those have merit!) but the real world is by definition the best reference we have when it comes to worldbuilding

When you're developing part of your setting, write down a brief description of that part, find a few (maybe five) real-life places that resemble it, and read up on those. If part of your story takes place in a river valley, find real-life river valleys of similar scale and/or climate, see what they're like, how they developed, and how they shaped the ecosystems and societies within them.

If your world is radically different from ours, this gets tricky but you can still make it work if you get a bit creative

Second most important bit of worldbuilding advice - remember what your worldbuilding is for! Worldbuilding to support a story you're writing is going to require a different approach than worldbuilding for something like Dragonology which will require a different approach than worldbuilding as its own creative exercise which will require a different approach than worldbuilding to flesh out a TTRPG setting which will require a different approach than worldbuilding from a fanfic that expands on limited information provided by canon

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.

Now that I’ve tried gefilte fish I will become one of its greatest defenders

#jumblr #I was hesitant cause as a kid I was not a fish fan #but now I like most fish #my parents could’ve tricked me easily into eating it ngl #I was told by my baba that calamari was sea chicken #my parents could’ve said the same thing and I’d eat it
