Rereading "Small Creatures" from the very beginning again never stops being an emotional roller coaster. Wishing you and your editor well, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
I know Iām sorry theyāre coming back ššš
This past six months has been such a cluster fuck like oh my god, and my editor gets really bad seasonal depression. That combined with us both getting through busy season at work and then slow season not actually being slow put a bit of damper on things, and then getting my business started basically put my life on halt.
BUT my editor is starting to feel better again since weāre starting to move into spring (we live in Washington state in the US though, so that doesnāt mean much I guess /s) and also things are evening out now that my store finally has a permanent manager for the first time in like six months and my schedule is no longer looking like a pendulum.
Yes.... Them gays are coming back.... I have missed them so muchhhh !!
THEY ARE I PROMISE š
Iāve been unfortunately absolutely slammed between being in the busy season at work also starting my own social media management business so my time and space has been limited BUT things are starting get back in the groove and I no longer feel like Iām d r o w n i n g.
make sure to follow your favourite fanfiction authors on tumblr to get such important updates as, "i'm Thinking about the fic really hard, i swear" "hashtag #notwriting" "im going to commit mass murder if i have to write" "theoretically if the next chapter came out in five months--"
It is the busiest time of the year at work right now but somehow this morning we had some rushes but were not busy enough to actually have our three hour morning rush. I base my entire mental everything on this rush and my audhd ass was therefore left severely understimulated.
Here is a list of some of behaviors my baristas witnessed from their supervisor (me for some reason):
-meowing softly while putting away bottles of vanilla
-walking in circles between taking orders over the headset
-grabbing a wet drain cover and slamming it onto the wall to create a āwippleā (wall nipple)
I am a firm believer that performance guide plays the violin and that rhythm guide plays the piano, all so I can hear Duet from Omori and think about them playing it. Why am I asking this? No reason. Wanted to share >vā¢
Okay but youāre so valid for that I also love giving them the violin piano duo
since dreams guide is arrested and the dreams skater was mentioned to have died years ago, what happened to the rest of the dreams cast in Small Creatures? will we get to see them in the fic or are they unrelated from skater and dreams guide?
Oh the rest of the dreams cast is still there! I plan on having them show up intermittently throughout the story. Spinning Mentor is written here to be Dreams Guideās sister, so she knew the twins. Peeking Postman was the slightly older friend of Skater and the twins when they were younger and she still stops by and talks to them. Dancing Performer was her friend and their impromptu uncle. As for the Bearhug Hermit, Iāll admit I havenāt 100% established how they tie into everything, but theyāre definitely there.
Hey random ass question about Small Creatures, are aurora's warriors like preachers or smh?
Hello so sorry it took me so long to get to this the past like three days havenāt felt real
Anyways thatās a great question! TBH Iām not even 100% sure on what they are yet. I think theyāre people that developed a particularly strong connection to the spirit of Aurora (the spirit of connection) in their lifetimes and dedicated their lives to her ideals. Theyāre not preachers but they were definitely religious in some way. I also donāt think they met until after they died. Theyāre all existing in the story itself but theyāre spattered across the realms.
I singing songs from epic the musical at a karaoke night at my work and I figured Iād let everyone know that thatās where my sky fanfiction brain rot began.
I hope I'm not bothering you too much with my continuous asks...
But I love drawing maps... Therefore I will ask stuff about maps... To draw a map... Of the Small Creatures realms. Maybe. :)
So what are the main/most famous/ biggest cities in the world of Sky and also, where would they be in the in-game world?
This could never be a bother I absolutely adore all the asks ā¤ļø I also love drawing maps! I have a bunch of hand drawn Dungeons and Dragons maps that I also use for my original pieces.
If you so happen to make this map š I would love to see it ššš
Iām going to put a quick pin in this and then reblog it with more information that way I can give you a really well developed answer. However, I can give a quick description of the surrounding area of the main setting to leave you with for the time being.
Village of Dreams is a tiny village at the base of a group of mountains. Further up from the village is the capital of Valley called Snowpoint, which in game is where the coliseum is. However, there is more distance between these places than the game would allude to. You can see the coliseum from the village square but thatās partially due to angling and also the pure grandeur. Itās about a one day worth of travel without the gondolas if you donāt stop much for breaks. So probably like 70 miles?
Further up from Snowpoint is Cloud City, which is modeled after the OOB in the game around the flight race and in the same area as the Citadel, with the citadel and the ice rink both being areas of the city. The race track is way longer than it is in game, and the actual race between Cloud City and Snowpoint is a long distance relay race lasting about 100 miles. Cloud City is also where bother Festival Spin Dancer and Troupe Juggler are from!
The village is not actually well known itās barely a footnote on the map. However Snowpoint is the capital and Cloud City is a major city.
Other notable areas include Village of the Crossroads (a trade hub at the top of the mountain where the Valley social are in game is that acts as a trade center between Forest and the rest of Valley) and Village of Mists (less edgy than it sounds, itās a large village thatās on the outskirts of Valley where Prarie Peaks starts to meet Valley territory in the west and the very southwest point of Golden Wastes, also where the meditation area is). And now, wait for itā¦
*drumroll* š„ š„ š„
Village of Mists is what eventually becomes Aviary Village.
Iām a firm believer that aviary village is technically in Valley, at the crossroads between a bunch of the realms. The way I have a mental map is that Isle of Dawn is the small are in the fair south, with Daylight Prairie taking this crescent shape with Prarie Peaks in the west and Sanctuary Island break off as part of an archipelago in the east. Then Hidden Forest is a small more centralized area that shares borders with (technically everywhere cause flight path but I think that the spirits made that) Daylight Prarie and Valley of Triumph, and then Valley extends a little further east and west and shares a mountain range with Prarie Peaks. Golden Wastes is a giant swath of land that encompasses both the starlight desert and crescent valley, and then treasure reef is part of the same archipelago as sanctuary island just under different territory. Then Vault is a man made structure that is technically part of Eden, which I would argue is in the center of Golden Wastes.
Anyways Iāll have more for you for other major cities in the other realms shortly but hopefully you enjoyed this!
