to sleep? perchance to fucking sleep?

Yes, yes, “blood for the blood god” and all, but when you think about it, why would the blood god want blood?

I mean, they’re the blood god.

Presumably they already have blood.

You’re giving them the one thing that by definition they already have in great supply.

[changeitagain]

I don’t think you end up the blood god by saying “yeah, that seems like a reasonable amount of blood.”

@dontmindme-imjustfangirlin is this a callout post

[allright]

came back wrong trope but the character knows that they came back wrong. they’re so acutely aware of how different they are now from how they were before that it drives them fucking insane. they’re stuck trying to return to somebody that’s long dead. they can never be the person they once were. everybody around them knows it. deep down, they know it too, but they’re trapped in a cycle of their own making. of trying to revive someone that no longer exists.

Part of me wants to shift the entirety of Magical Fantasy Adventure Land into the normal world instead of splitting it into a separate realm.

Part of me is still annoyed that this fucker still doesn’t have a proper title. Or at least something that sounds better as a place holder.

[the-knights-are-not-dead-deacti]

it’s called Mafalia. that’s your world’s name. ‘MAH-FAR-lee-uh’.

[sleepybelle-writes]

That actually sounds really good as a world name. I’m curious to know where that came from?

[the-knights-are-not-dead-deacti]

it’s the acronym. “Magical Fantasy Adventure Land”-ia becomes MaFAL-ia: Mafalia.

i always find if you need a placeholder name for something, write it out and make up an acronym, adding and removing letters or vowels if need be.

for example:

“The House Where Clio Fell in Love With Him”

“The HouseWhereClioFellinLoveWithHim”

“THoWeCliFiLWH”

“ThrowecliFiLWH”

“ThrowecliffiLWH”

“ThrowecliffiLWH”

“Throwecliffe”

“Thrawecliffe”

hence ‘the house where Clio fell in love with him’ becomes ‘Thrawecliffe House’. what’s a ‘thraw’? i don’t know. is it on a cliff? maybe; that’s an author’s preogative.

suddenly the name of the house itself throws up new questions which an author in answering goes off down a rabbit hole of worldbuilding.

[sleepybelle-writes]

Holy fuck. That is absolutely amazing advice.

Thank you so much!!!!!

[incandescent-creativity]

As someone who regularly smashes words together for humorous purposes, I’m appalled I’ve never thought to use it in my writing. Bless you.

[headspace-hotel]

good advice

My favourite example of this is Dragon Age. The setting is called Thedas, which comes from calling it “the Dragon Age setting” in development! The Dragon Age Setting The DAS Thedas

[eruvadhril]

The D&D game that my boyfriend is currently running is based in a city called Isan, which is an acronym for “I Suck At Naming”.
