Worldbuilding in Five

Both @thetruearchmagos and @theprissythumbelina tagged me in this! I'm going to tag @anyablackwood, @laffy-taffy-creations, @mikathewriter, and whoever else wants to play!

Rules: post 3-5 images of a place in your world and tell us a bit about it.

So I feel like NYTF gets enough love...how about the world of Ateine? This is slightly more than 5.

Base Sky (Watcher settlement)

Base Sky is the primary Watcher (rebel) settlement, and is the host of its extensive government. Despite having a large population (well over one million people), Base Sky looks like an uninhabited jungle, as buildings are designed to blend into the trees and stretch deep into natural and hand-carved cave systems. Its crowning feature is a large, underground arena where Arena Combat Simulations are held, along with other large-crowd events such as concerts and performances. Base Sky is located in the dense, tropical jungle about 50km from Kaptol.

Kaptol

A bastardization of the word "Capital" and sometimes spelled Kp-tol, Kaptol is the large hexagon city where the first Ateineians were created/born/arrived (depending on your religious sect). It's a very large, technologically advanced city which erases its past as it builds to new and grander heights. The culture here is a massive melting pot, borrowing from each of the six partages. It is built on a peninsula, bordered to the north by a dense tropical jungle. The cliffs along the edge of the city drop of precipitously, lifting it high above the water.

The High Sanctum

In the midst of the hi-tech and quickly-evolving Kaptol is a building seemingly untouched by time: the High Sanctum. Built by the god AllPower herself, it is the religious, governmental, and cultural center of Ateine. It is a grand building of white stone, full of vaulted ceilings, towering columns, and 6 massive statues of the six gods. Each is over 10 meters tall, and on their pedestals, people leave offerings and sacrifices. Throughout its grandiose halls, the theocratic government of Ateine operates.

The High Sanctum's tallest spire is the highest point on Ateine; nothing can be built higher. High rises and skyscrapers throughout Kaptol and Ateine try to creep as close as they can.

Reblog if you are okay with people giving you lots of boops!

reblog if you are ok with mass booping

I was thinking about my characters recently and I got worried for a bit that one of my stoic characters wouldn't get mad at anything! Then I realized, "Nah, there are SOME select situations.." It was really fun!

SO! Pick a character of your choice (probably a more put-together character but it doesn't have to be!) and think about their Anger TM.

What would make them mad but would also be really funny and amusing to them?

What would send them into a wild rage? A tirade? Violence, if they're so inclined?

What would make them the kind of cold anger that would lead to months of plotting revenge?

What would make them "not mad, just disappointed"?

No pressure but I had fun with it, so I gotta pass it along!

Sorry for the wait! Holiday season is nuts, especially with finals and suddenly not having a source of income lol. But thank you for the ask!

I was going to go with an Asteria Heights Character, but then I figured that I should try writing one for a WIP I haven't really talked about yet. So I'll be using Teddy from Teddy and Finn (working title).

"What would make them mad but would also be really amusing to them?"

To be fair, Teddy's pretty chill, but mostly because he barely understands what's going on half the time and is just happy to be there, lol. This would probably be the most achievable kind of anger for him, because it'll likely be over something seemingly very simple in human society that he simply Doesn't Get. Like bowls of glass fruits and fake potted plants that grandmas have in their houses. Or paperweights.

I can imagine him being very fascinated by a fake banana, only to grab it and realize it's inedible and being very frustrated while Finn tries to explain why, exactly, his grandmother has fake fruits. But it would also make him very amused, because he finds humans very amusing, so after the initial betrayal, he'd probably start laughing. He'd eventually write it off as yet another interesting little idiosyncrasy humans display.

"What would send them into a wild rage? A tirade? Violence, if they're so inclined?"

I wouldn't say Teddy is inclined to violence, per say, but he's definitely accustomed to it. Being a demon, it's part of his culture, essentially. Rage (especially manifested as violence) is part of everyday life to him, though he's seen as kind of an oddball for not being so hungry for it. I think it'd be difficult to get him visibly angry (it's difficult in general to get him to subconsciously visibly emote), so it'd probably have to be something very over-the-top dramatic. Like hurting his favorite human, Finn. Or his pet demon-mole (that he should not have in his apartment).

If caught mistreating his pet, the offender would likely be thrown off the property (literally - via fifth floor window). If caught mistreating Finn, reactions would range from Asking Very Nicely to leave, to forgetting his strength and accidentally hitting them hard enough to kill them. However, Teddy's very dedicated to being a cheerful, kind, model member of human society, so he'd probably smile widely the entire time. He's not very eloquent so he'd smile and very kindly apologize after having thrown someone through a wall for stressing out The Mole.

"What would make them the kind of cold anger that would lead to months of plotting revenge?"

This is actually the kind of anger that I think he'd be more likely to come across. He isn't the type to get angry very easily, so once he's actually genuinely upset, it's usually a situation in which he's past the point of calming down and moving on. His next step is to ruin this person's life.

Cold anger would probably be a result of something equally dramatic. If you somehow managed to survive mistreating Finn or The Mole the first time, repeated offenses would probably result in this kind of reaction. Surprisingly, his family being under threat wouldn't elicit this kind of response; his siblings and parents are more than capable of returning slights tenfold.

"What would make them 'not mad, just disappointed'?"

Learning that some rumored human custom or convention isn't actually as ridiculous as he'd expected. Like interpersonal/relationship drama not being "as seen on TV". Or the average person's daily attire. Or pancake stacks. He'd honestly be so sad that people don't, in fact, get up to wacky shenanigans while learning the class' lesson of the day, which is "the Power of Friendship". Or that humans don't actually burst into song and dance randomly throughout their days.

I think the thing that would disappoint him the most is is food didn't look or taste as good as advertised, at least the first few times. Those cartoon pancake stacks would have him depressed for a week, lol. (And don't tell him that red velvet is actually just chocolate.)

Thanks again for the ask, @amaiguri!

OC in 3 Tag

Belated thanks to @mysticstarlightduck for the tag! This is for Sora from Beyond the Mirror, a WIP I haven't formally introduced yet.

Rules: Post 3 pictures that represent your OC plus the source

Not very cohesive but I couldn't find a better third picture! Got all of mine from Pinterest.

I saw the previous post had songs, but I'm nowhere near confident enough to show anyone what I have in my playlists lol.

(Gently) Tagging: @amaiguri, @paintedbutton, @athenswrites, @bunnymermaidwrites, and anyone else who wants in!
