I think it would be really fucking funny to write a piece of fiction set entirely in real life but using lazy fantasy worldbuilding talk. I gather coin* for the road west** - I will need it to enter the Capital.***

* two quarters and two dimes

** Interstate 64

*** Richmond, Virginia

dialogic

I must traverse the treacherous way north* to visit my lover at their place of learning. This city is a crossroads, positioned near the boundary point of a dark land we try not to visit.** It is an ancient place, riddled with the memory of the War.***

* Interstate 95

** Northern Virginia

*** American Civil

dialogic

The road north is blocked by enemy forces.* I fear we will be overpowered if we continue,** and never reach our destination.*** Let us abandon the road and take the ancient mountain pass.**** We will mind the cruel structures of bygone years***** as you go.

* northern virginians

** get vehicular manslaughtered by a tesla driver just outside the mixing bowl

*** west maryland

The fun thing about this is that various routes between Richmond and Maryland literally have places called “King’s Dominion” and “Assassin’s End” so if you frame your driving directions correctly, you can be both 100% accurate in your description of the route AND sound like you’re instructing an adventurer in how to get from Bag End Underhill to Mordor.

Sexting like “makes sense. sounds good to me.”

You do not need to give your all. If you always give your 100% then you will crash. It is okay to rest, to have days you give less effort, and to have days when you struggle. You are always doing your best.
