[Writing youtuber voice]: Your world map is actually dogshit because [protracted infodump about geology and climate systems, none of which is correct.] As a consequence, you need to move everything around in a way that completely breaks the story's pacing and actively undermines the themes.

[Writing youtuber voice] The most important thing you could possibly spend time on when writing fantasy is this piece of realism that literally no successful fantasy story has ever bothered with

[tpwrtrmnky]

[Writing youtuber voice] if you so much as think about a theme or plot structure or character dynamic instead of developing the economy of a continent the story never even touches, I am going to personally curse your entire bloodline

You know the parable about how the foolish man built his house upon sand and the wise man built his house upon rock and it’s always about having a sturdy foundation well there is also the fact of location which is that the sand probably used to be rock except it’s been eroded to sediment because it’s a FUCKING FLOODPLAIN

I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

do you ever think it's didn't that we put a lot of effort into taking rocks out of the ground, mixing them up with other rocks from other places, squishing, shaping, and making new rocks out of the rocks, just to put them right back in the ground somewhere new?

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

(Image ID: a person’s hand, clenched in a fist. They are wearing an item similar to bulky brass knuckles, but made out of a silvery metal and clear crystals.)

Thanks @fleshwizard for sharing this with me! Rather than making stats for it in D&D 5e, here’s an idea based on the aeon stones of Pathfinder and Starfinder:

Aeon stones are remnants of the old Azlanti Empire. Typically, mages with an interest in history will have these items floating around their heads, and they provide various benefits depending on the type of gem or stone used. However, the Aspis Consortium recently found a magical bowl that enhances the crystalline growth of aeon stones, and in their experiments this weapon was produced from a clear spindle stone.

A clear spindle provides life support, with more powerful versions that take care of the need to drink, eat, breathe or survive in space. As a weapon, the “crystal knuckles” deal 1d4 piercing damage, and when they hit there is a flash of white light. The target must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or be levitated 5 feet, as the spell.

[probablyfunrpgideas]

Other aeon crystal knuckles:

Pale Ruby Trillion - Target becomes magically silenced, and can make a Will save (DC 13) to end the effect at the end of each turn.

Magenta Prism - Target takes 1 point of damage to its highest ability score.

Thorny Silver - The weapon launches its wielder into an unoccupied space on the other side of the target.

Lavender and Green Ellipsoid - The target must make a Will save (DC 17) or lose a spell/spell slot of level 2 or lower.

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"
