I would still choose the life I led with him each and every time. And I would undoubtedly feel the same pain all over again if I had to, because real, true love is worth it. No matter what.

BRIDGERTON Season 2 (2022)
reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
@dragonpyre any chance you could elaborate on this
I grew up learning about land formations. Seeing fictional maps that don’t follow the logic and science of them makes me upset
What are the most common sins you’ve seen relating to this? I wanna know
Mordor.
Why is the mountain range square. How did the mountain range form. Why is there one singular volcano in the center. Why does it act like a composite volcano but have magma that acts like it’s from a shield. If it’s hotspot based volcanic activity why is there only one volcano.
And then the misty mountains!!!! Why isn’t there a rain shadow!! And why is there a FOREST where the rain shadow should be!!!!!!!!
So what is a rain shadow?
Wind blows clouds in from the sea, but mountains are so tall the clouds can't get past 'em, so you get deserts on the windward side of mountain ranges because clouds can't get there to water the land, or do so only very rarely.
Oh yeah nothing is more annoying than fantasy maps that can't get mountains, rivers and rain shadows right.
May I recommend my new favorite tool: Mapgen4. You start with a random seed and then add mountains, valleys, shallow water, or oceans as you like. You can adjust the wind direction to make wind shadows off the mountains fall where you want. You can adjust overall raininess to make the rivers larger or smaller, or have more or fewer tributaries. It works best for small, isolated landmasses (think islands more than continents) but as there’s no scale bar and it’s all slightly abstracted anyway you can do whatever you want with it. I’ve only just started playing with it but it’s SO FUN.
Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
I FOUND IT BITCHES
This is going to save me so much trouble in the future.

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!
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).
a hundred different kisses
whispering ''kiss me'' to your lover
wrapping your arms around your lover's neck
kisses traveling from your lover's nose to their lips
breaking the kiss, instantly pressing your lips back together
intertwining fingers
soft kisses that grow more passionate by each second
forehead against forehead
running fingers through your lover's hair
unbuttoning your lover's shirt, pressed against the wall
surprise kisses, your lover wasn't prepared but responds immediately
a kiss that says ''we're late for work, but let's be later''
kisses under a light waterfall
pulling your lover closer by the waistband
kissing under the stars
messy kisses, destroying furniture trying to reach the bed
a kiss that isn't meant to happen but does so anyway
sliding your hands down your lover's chest
grabbing your lover by the collar
''if we're caught kissing we're most likely dead but let's risk it''
hand kisses
exploring each other's lips
smiling in-between kisses
now-or-never kisses
caressing your lover's cheek
good night kisses
''i was supposed to take a shower, alone, but go ahead jump right in''
brushing lips together, lingering for a moment, catching your breath
an accidental kiss between two exes
kisses in which, we've already said goodbye for the day but i can't help stealing another one
this might be our last kiss so let's make it last
kitchen counter make-outs
jumping into your lover's arms
soft kisses while cuddling in bed
i missed you kisses
a kiss leaving you breathless
stopping a kiss when it gets too heated
a kiss on the cheek that turns into a kiss on the lips
trailing kisses from your lover's lips to their neck
''everything is going to be okay'' kisses
kisses that start out passionate but grows more delicate
pulling away from a kiss to look at each other, smiling as you dive in for another kiss
a kiss to celebrate an engagement
wrapping your legs around your lover's body as they lift you
a goodbye kiss expect neither can let go
''we shouldn't do this'' but they do so, anyway
a swirling reunion kiss
''i've had a terrible day at work so just kiss me''
a kiss that lasts longer than it should
tending to your lover's wound, placing a kiss on top of their head, grateful they're still alive
a goodbye kiss that says ''i don't love you the way you love me, and i'm setting you free''
spinning your lover into a kiss on the dance floor
kisses in which, ''i can't believe this is real, but i love you so much''
tucking a strand of hair behind your lover's ear
tracing your lips against the corner of your lover's mouth
light kisses scattered across your lover's face down to their collarbone
pulling your lover into your lap, them straddling your hips
bushing your lips against your lover's, wanting to savior the moment
playful kisses, such as, ‘‘i’m not going to kiss you.’‘ ‘‘why?’‘ ‘‘because if i do, i don’t think we’re getting out of bed today’‘
kissing your lover's wounds after having bandaged them up
mistletoe kisses
surprising your lover from behind, smacking a kiss on their cheek
caressing your lover's cheek
trying to concentrate on a task, but your lover kisses your neck, making your head spin
looking deep into your lover's eyes, before dropping your gaze to their lips
shushing your lover as they try to kiss you, telling them tonight is all about them, not you
a kiss only meant to last a moment, but when your lips meet, you can't pull away from each other
leaning into your lover's touch, their fingers tracing down your stomach, their body pressed against yours
a tender kiss on your lover's chest
kissing your lover so gently, worried that if you pull away for just one second, they might disappear
an accidental kiss that confuses you both, but only a moment pass before you crash your lips back against each other's
lingering forehead against forehead, consumed by each other and barely having enough strength to breathe
accidentally bumping noses
kissing your lover's forehead, then bending down to meet their lips
a kiss to forgive each other after an argument
standing on your tippy toes, frustrated you can't reach your lover's lips
unrequited love that is now requited, and a kiss that proves it
legs wrapped around your lover's body, hands tearing their shirt off
pushing your lover onto the bed, kissing down their stomach
throwing your lover over your shoulder, carrying them towards the bed
crashing your lips together during an argument
kisses in which, ''we just broke up, but let's kiss one last time''
whispering ''i love you'' in-between kisses
your lover pinning your arms above your head, telling you to stay quiet
trying to deny your feelings, but attraction gets the best of you, and you push them up against the wall
smiling in-between kisses
reunion kisses, ''i thought you were dead''
not being able to focus on anything during a conversation, you're too busy staring at your lover's lips
kisses in which ‘i’ll kiss you right now to prove i don’t feel anything for you’‘ but the kiss proves the opposite
kissing each other's pain away, your tears mixing with your lover's
your lover pulls you away from a kiss, asks you to marry them
telling your lover you want all of them tonight
grabbing hold of your lover's collar, begging them to kiss you
sliding your hands down your lover's chest, unzipping their zipper
untying your lover's tie, using it to pull your lover into a kiss
not being able to unbutton your lover's shirt, their kisses are everywhere and too distracting
kissing your lover's tears away
passionately making-out against a wall
“let’s just kiss to see what it’s like” then pulling away, lingering for a moment, then going in for the second kiss
hungry kisses and ripped apart clothes
''it's always been you'' kisses
one of my very favorite obscure story tropes is when there’s an episode/plotline/tabletop campaign session where the conceit is ‘each member of the gang gets trapped in a specially tailored dream/nightmare/illusory mindscape and has to break out’
my favorite addition to this trope is when the gang has to pass through everyone’s specially tailored nightmare scape and it’s just one gut punching trauma after the next that their friends help them through
Some good twists on these:
Nightmares:
- one party member’s nightmare seems like a perfectly normal and even pleasant scenario until the rest of the party realizes that what’s normal and pleasant for them is terrifying for the other member.
-the happy-go-lucky character who told everyone their fear is something benign like “ducks” actually has a massive and crushing trauma nightmare scenario they never told anyone about because they didn’t want to be a burden/still can’t trust.
- villain tries to make a nightmare scenario for someone and it backfires because they didn’t realize that guy is a grade-A Freak and they love it.
“ideal life” illusions
- villain attempts to make what they think will be an ideal dream life only for the protagonist to immediately point out a glaring flaw or get mad because they know damn well life isn’t like this
-a party member struggles to break free from the illusion because it’s just like regular life for them
- party discovers someone in the group has been not entirely honest about who they are when their ideal life doesn’t match thier projected persona at all.
-the illusion is exactly the same as real life save for one glaring but inconsequential difference, like someone having a different hair color.

tips for walking in an abandoned graveyard
if it’s dark, don’t shine your flashlight into the trees.
if a child approaches and asks you a question, don’t tell the truth.
you may find some harrowing artifacts (i found a ribbon on a tree and some bible pages) pick these up and keep them. they belong to you.
if you walk down a long, straight pathway, you will feel someone behind you. don’t look
you may see people in your peripheral vision; these are the spirits. they won’t hurt you.
if you wish to communicate with the spirits, do not do it alone. cast a protection circle. only ask polite questions.
you will feel bursts of dread and terror. ignore them.
don’t read too much into what the graves say. some things are best left unsolved.
research the history of the graveyard beforehand. you need to know what you might encounter.
some beings may not want you to leave. should you come into contact with one of these beings, leave immediately.
don’t read the hidden graves.
if you find a headless angel statue, don’t look for her head.
if you find a tipped over angel statue, leave her be. she’s only resting.
don’t listen to music. this will distract you from them.
don’t look in the bushes. you will find something that you weren’t supposed to.

just showed this video to my cousin who is a feudal serf and he threw his cap on the ground like yosemite sam
So, some facts to consider:
-> Katsuki Bakugou sweats nitroglycerin from his palms
-> He sweats a lot of it, particularly when in combat/excising (see: the giant bracers he can fill on his arms).
-> Quirks often have negative side effects on their users, usually related to not being immune to some element of the quirk ex: being able to create fire but not being fireproof.
-> Nitroglycerin is used medicinally as a strong vasodilator (lowers blood pressure).
-> Nitroglycerin can lower blood pressure dangerously even at low dosages.
-> While people can build up some immunity to it over time, high exposure like Katsuki would have would still be dangerous. Unless his body had some sort of counter.
-> There’s lots of ways a body could raise blood pressure. One of them? Stress.
-> Stress (adrenaline and cortisol) can significantly raise blood pressure and do so fairly quickly.
My conclusion? Katsuki having No Chill Ever is actually his body’s way of keeping his blood pressure even. He’s constantly at 99/100 stress level for everything because of this. It’s why he does everything so intensely, he’s got near max levels of Adrenaline in him at all times.
Now whether or not this is canon or what canon intended is up in the air, but it’s now my personal canon. Ideal results of this:
-> Katsuki’s stress levels are discovered when he and his classmates/maybe teachers are exposed to a fear/panic quirk that shoots your adrenaline and cortisol through the roof. His classmates are sent into a panicked frenzy, running around and hiding. His teachers are either also panicked or just barely holding on to rational thought through many years of practice. Katsuki…. is just fine? Mostly he’s confused as to what the hell is wrong with everyone else. Whoever they’re fighting isn’t actually that tough without their quirk, so Katsuki takes ‘em down. Everyone is put through medical to determine what happened and why Katsuki wasn’t effected. They discover the quirk didn’t work because like, the quirk is made to take someone from 5-10% stress to a sudden 90-95%. Katsuki has a resting 96.7% or something. The extra 3.3% doesn’t change much.
-> They try to put him on anti-anxiety meds or something to help. He starts to calm down for the first time in his life which lasts all of 5 minutes before he passes out and almost fucking dies from the blood pressure drop.
-> “So you’re telling me being calm for once in my life literally almost fucking killed me?”
“Basically, yeah.”
“Hang on, I need to call my mom. I have an argument to win.”
