I don’t know what’s going on? i am currently dealing with such a shit storm in my work and personal life, and it is a miracle if i have the spoons to come online. i am alive. i’m just also… tired. and possibly depressed again. Reading where I wrote that in September and then looking at how i feel now… yeah. I was on my way there and I’m right about at rock bottom.

Still don't know what's going on, but baby I'm alright!

You might be here because I'm spam in a small ship's tag. You'll get used to it :) (Tumblr did. They terminated me first, but they got used to it and eventually let me back on.) haha i’m no longer online often enough for this to be funny

Current Tumblr goal: Start working on my fucking Dreaming fic again!

Current Status: Somehow alright? Mostly? Weirdly? Cool!

Unless I wrote the post myself, there is a very good chance I queued it. I've decided queueing is boring and you get posts dumped on your dash whenever I'm feeling unstable :)

do you have any advice in regards to writing clan lore? I'm kinda new to FR so I'm not sure if what I'm doing so far is wrong :0

My advice is you do what you want!! You really can’t do wrong.... Okay stealing other peoples characters is wrong. But when it comes to matching the lore, there are very very few hard rules in the fr universe as of this moment.

You can find a lot of tidbits about the FR universe to pull from in the weekly Q&As (isn’t there a tumblr that compiled these, seems aequorin isn’t updates the quicklinks to each weeks answers anymore? If someone knows would you reblog with the link??). Also check out the encyclopedia for a bite-sized history lesson.

The lore is still so vague there is little to reference from so a lot of the ‘lore’ of a bunch of clans is head canons, adopted head canons passed around, or expanded musings from item descriptions, stuff like that.

Here is a fun blog to read through for inspiration. You don’t have to adopt every head canon you see but some of them are so cute or just so fitting for the setting you are trying to establish for your clan. (LOOKING @ DIVER AND ALL THEIR BADASS CANONS)

Personally I like sticking to the lore but then bending it >}. Like hell yeah they can shape shift into humanoids because dryad’s right? and dryads are spirits they probably learned their form from something what if there are relics from the second age actually showing what those humanoids looked like!!!

also the theory that beast clans are leftover humanoids who mutated. 

Alternately Arcanist studies the remains of second age beings so detailed records straight from a gods mouth of the anatomy of tiny bipedal thingiedoos. Like the open pathways and possibilities are just beautiful.

Which is actually funny because while i’ve had that particular canon for forever, i’ve only recently added it within my own clan. (the gijinkas before were an au to me but why do that to myself)

*shrugs and smiles*

Think about what you want to do for your clan and characters and if you want to match it to the lore, it will meet you halfway. If you want to go off the wall and do your own thing in fr universe, do it! it’s still good shit worth reading either way.
