Fantasy Worlds Collide isn't just a story. It's a 29-year labor of love, a massive apocalyptic mythpunk universe, and the definitive collection of my creative heart. Converting nearly three decades of intricate worldbuilding, character arcs, and metaphysical lore into a structured Tumblr hub takes time, care, and a lot of behind-the-scenes organization.
While my main project files are steadily expanding and I'm constantly writing, I know navigating a sprawling multi-arc saga can be overwhelming for readers old and new. Whether you’ve been following my creative journey for years or you just stumbled onto my writeblr/FF7 space through my AU snippets and friend interactions, I want to give you a transparent look at what is coming to this blog over the next few months.
A Personal Note & Reality Check (for me): Before diving into the roadmap, I want to be honest with you all about where I’m at mentally. As many of you know I lost my grandmother last week, and the grief has been a heavy. I hardly sleep right now. Because of this, I honestly don't know exact timelines for when every piece of this roadmap will be finished. I'm giving myself grace to work through this project as I'm able, so please be patient with me as I pace myself through the grief.
Here is the strategic roadmap for how FWC, its lore, and my written musings will unfold across the blog.
Phase 1: Completing the Visual & Structural Foundation (The Hub & Pitch Pages)
Before diving deep into individual lore posts, the primary goal is finishing the official directory. You’ve likely seen the Pandemonix Pitch Pages and the core FFVII Gaia Hub details go live, but to complete the central axis of the saga, two critical pitch entries are currently in active production:
The Kilonova Pitch Page: A complete high-level breakdown of the metaphysical event that threatens to reset Creation. This pitch will establish the stakes, the spatial degradation of the Ethereal Nexus, and how characters like Bianca, Sephiroth, Genesis, Alexander, and Kayla collide as reality fractures.
The Godling Pitch Page: An introduction to the post-apocalyptic divine fallout and the birth of a new pantheon. This page highlights the ascension, identity struggles, and political friction of Aurora Moore (Godborn Queen of the Abyss) and Lucien Moore (Sovereign of Caelora) as they inherit a broken cosmos.
Getting these pitch pages formatted and posted will allow readers to easily browse the thematic scope, content flags, and character rosters of all four overarching arcs in one unified place.
Phase 2: Essential Lore Articles (The "Read First" Deep Dives)
Once the pitch framework is fully locked in, I will begin dropping standalone Key Lore Articles. These are foundational meta-posts designed to explain the internal logic and metaphysical mechanics of the FWC omniverse without requiring you to digest hundreds of thousands of story words all at once.
Keep an eye out for these upcoming deep dives:
The Realms & Their Laws of Power: A comprehensive breakdown mapping Caelora (The Celestial Realm), the Mortal Coil, Umbralyth (The Abyss), and the Ethereal Nexus—explaining how power flows, mutates, and exacts a toll across different planes.
Jenova, the Kinova, and Biological Horror: An exploration of the ancient cosmic parasite as a vector vs. Bianca’s maternal inversion, detailing Shinra's bio-engineering atrocities and the mechanics of cosmic adaptation.
The Celestial Civil War and the Seals of Fate: The history of Heaven’s rupture, Michael’s heavy burden, Asmodeus's rebellion, and how the Six Seals bind the destiny of mortals and divine beings alike.
Power Corruption & The Price of Ascension: The physical, psychological, and spiritual decay caused by channeling raw celestial, abyssal, or reality-warping magic.
The Rewriting of Creation: A breakdown of temporal manipulation, reality warping, and how the Kilonova crisis rewrites history and fate.
The Godlings: A study of divine lineage, explaining how godlings differ from traditional archangels and demons, and how Aurora and Lucien navigate their rising pantheon.
Phase 3: Systematic Arc Worldbuilding
Alongside the major meta-articles, I am systematically filling out the complete worldbuilding profiles across all four narrative branches (Pandemonix, FFVII, Kilonova, and Godling).
To ensure every realm and era feels fully realized, living, and grounded, each arc will receive detailed lore entries covering:
Commerce & Public Life: Trade systems, resource scarcity, black markets, and how ordinary citizens manage daily transactions under corporate or divine control.
Daily Life & Survival: Domestic routines, food security, housing, and the psychological coping mechanisms of populations living under the shadow of apocalyptic or cosmic threats.
Magic Systems & Taboos: The specific mediums used to draw power (S-cells, materia, divine pacts, ancestral rites), the severe physical burnouts involved, and the hard limits that magic cannot cross without collapsing local reality.
People, Customs & Rites: Cultural traditions, mourning rituals, religious/cultic devotion, and social etiquette between mortals, celestials, and hybrids.
Physical Geography & Environments: Atmospheric profiles, changing skies, landmark breakdowns (Shinra HQ, North Crater, The Iron Tower, subterranean sanctuaries), and environmental contamination.
Social & Institutional Hierarchy: Military ranks, religious orders, class dynamics, and corporate or infernal structures enforcing compliance.
Geopolitics & Cross-Realm Status: The overarching state of the world, inter-realm friction, and how much the general populace actually understands about the cosmic forces pulling the strings.
I am still actively engaged in writing and collaborating with my amazing writing friends. Along with project updates, I’ll be regularly sharing my behind-the-scenes writing process articles, broken down into three key areas for fellow writers and curious readers:
Tools and Organization: Deep dives into how I manage massive projects and tools I'd recommend.
WIP and Story Construction: Craft thoughts on manuscript revision, pacing, character arcs, cutting darlings, and balancing heavy themes like dynastic trauma, moral ambiguity, and cosmic romance.
Worldbuilding and Setting: Articles on process and mechanics: how to construct layered mythologies, establish trauma-informed magic systems, and weave original lore around canon foundations.
You can also continue to expect:
AU Hub Updates: Standalone alternate timeline vignettes exploring "what if" scenarios, dynamic shifts, and character studies across various genres while staying anchored to FWC's emotional core.
Fandom & Friend Interactions: Continued open threads, character asks, writing prompts, and creative exchanges within the FF7 writeblr community.
What’s Next Today:
With all of that said, I am taking today completely off from writing, editing, or uploading anything to rest and reset, as I finished the Pandemonix pitch page. Tomorrow, I will begin picking things back up, starting with drafting the Kilonova and Godling pitch pages, as well as setting up those Writing Process category tags with three articles: one per category.
Thank you all so much for your warmth, patience, and support while I navigate this loss and build this universe. It means more to me than words can say.
