You know something I noticed for the Outlaw NPC sprite was that a Feline was wearing a partially leopard print shirt. The female equivalent, a scary looking Phidia, was wearing a partially snakeskin jacket.

However, unlike leopard print, the sheddings snakes leave can renewably be made into clothes. This means that there could be an industry where Phidia's tails are manually and expertly shed by workers to produce high quality and fancy clothes.

Uuuuuuh SPACIOUS dragon Sunday ? for late fat dragon friday.

The biggest fandom Mandela Effect is the idea Kaz is from Lij, he’s from a town near by, two towns over, specifically I believe. Which would be frustrating if didn’t make me so amused that the town is never named. Like, of all these not to tell us of Kaz’s backstory, we’re not allowed to know the name of the town he’s from? Why is the information obscured from us??? Does it matter that we don’t know it??? Or was it just forgotten/deemed not important to name the town one of the fucking main characters is from??? I don’t know it just makes me giggle that not even the readers are really allowed to know we’re Kaz is from too.

you may have answered this before, but who would volunteer for this? everett seems like an unusual case whatwith actually being given money. how would he even know he could earn money for his family when he first signed up? im fascinated by the worldbuilding of volunteers, id love to hear more about it in general

Ehehehe very fun question!!!

So I’ll start with Everett. His case isn’t actually that unusual in this setting. Some owners think they’re morally better than others for choosing to pay a fighter rather than purchase them as a slave. Ignore how this practice typically preys on vulnerable and desperate people. It’s totally morally good. Totally. In a lot of cases payment is based on fights won. Every time Everett won a fight, he received a good amount of the payout that he used to support his family. I never really settled on how he and his owner met, but his owner offered him the “job” and he decided it was worth the risk. The details were explained to him pretty simply, if he fought, and he won, there would be money involved. He couldn’t turn it down.

Other volunteers however. “Volunteer” as a name is somewhat misleading but it’s what they use to label anyone who wasn’t kidnapped for a specific purpose (Like Zander was). Those who volunteer rarely know the full extent of what they’re signing up for, and they employ people whose specific role is to find vulnerable people who could be pushed into volunteering, with promises of housing, financial support that likely won’t come, support for their families in exchange for their lives. Rarely do these situations work on in the person’s favor. Most volunteers are lied to and coerced into signing up for this. Others are essentially sold into it by people who are tipped off. Lea is an example of someone who was considered a volunteer, but never actually agreed to any of this. Their partner sold them to the training facility and received a payout for it.

None of this of course is. Actually legal. There aren’t laws allowing this, but it’s more like the law is willfully looking away from it to allow it to continue. The term “volunteer” is used more to downplay the severity of the situation and to wield against those who complain than anything else.

I made a quiz based off my current WIP, The Cyclical

Wanna see what horrors are inflicted on you? Take my quiz and find out what brand of magic you've got

Within the Cyclical there are many undefined and odd powers a person can have. This will tell you where you might end up if you were a part

Ideas from my childhood stories that go weirdly hard:

Healing magic that's activated by skin contact with blood, thus requiring a healer to dramatically cover their hands in the patient's blood for maximum effect, which is a level of intimacy that... OR for a bloodless wound, blood must be shed somehow AND a healer being wounded would lead to uncontrollable healing of nothing in particular, which would then lead to magical exhaustion

A group of nomadic interdimensional travelers that can only travel because they have no true home. No matter where they go, they will never belong. Eventually each world they visit begins to reject them and they slowly waste away and die.

A girl with the ability to see through other people's eyes (but only if they were within sight of her). It was surprisingly useful.

A group of people who no matter what they do, provoke a feeling of intense disgust in everyone who perceives them, alongside an urge to cause them harm. Now, most people don't act on every single thought and feeling they have, so most of the time they're fine. But not always. The story focused on two of these people who against all odds manage to disregard their mutual disgust of each other and form the first friendship either of them has ever had.

Magic powers that are communicable and spread like a plague (turns out this is a very bad thing to happen to a world)
