For Writers:

Reblog if it’s okay for your followers to leave you an ask telling you what the one thing is they remember you for as a writer.  Is it a scene or a detail or a specific line? Is it something like style or characterization?  Is it that one weird kink they never thought they’d be into, but oh my god wow self-discovery time?

Reblog and put in the tags that ONE video game series you’ve played more than any other

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday!

In the world of your WIP, what is the family structure that is considered "typical"? Why? As for the MCs in the story, would their family be considered atypical or different in any way, or do they come from a background considered "standard" in the world of your WIP?



ty for the great question!! klairva (the city of clocked out) is unique in that, since so much of it is already randomized and sort of "patchwork" - family structure is also varied, and many different types are common throughout the city. in the residential apartment areas, i'd say it's most common to have some combination of parent(s)/guardian(s) + kid(s) within each apartment room. also depends on socioeconomic status - richer neighborhoods will see more "nuclear" families with 2 parents + 2 children whereas the poorer neighborhoods will have all types of eclectic structures (single grandparent + 3 kids, an adult couple + their 2 friends, adult siblings + their baby niece, etc etc). mostly due to the frequent occurrence of adults "clocking out" due to running out of time on their watch. it's also more common to find households with more people in poorer neighborhoods than richer ones.

in lola's case, her family was: her mom, her dad, and her sister, peri. this was pretty normal for her neighborhood of snakesborough, if not somewhat uncommon, since both parents were alive. buuut her dad does clock out before the story begins soo... that definitely made her family structure more "typical" for the area LOL

Happy late WBW, Mystic!

OOOO I love this question!

In the world of your WIP, what is the family structure that is considered "typical"? Why?

Cue the sighs from anyone who reads any answer I have to anything: it varies lol. Humans keep with the typical, nuclear family structure that we are familiar with. Dwarves also have this but grandparents and extended family are a lot more involved with the nuclear family than in human families. As such, Dwarves have very caring relationships with each other and will live in the same neighborhood or town as their relatives. It should also be added, that the nuclear families of these two include same-sex or otherwise queer relationships!

Lizardfolk tend to have really big families, esp if the man of the house has multiple wives. Children are often looked after by their mothers and nannies exclusively, fathers only become involved around ikismal prep season. Seeing extended maternal extended family is not normal, since women move to their husband's hometown to support his clan and raise their kids.

Elves are communally raised once they get past a certain age. This is because their numbers tend to be on the smaller side and they want to prevent all sorts of infighting with each other so they want to socialize their kids as much as possible. It's common for children to call anyone older than them mother or father even if they aren't biologically related.

As for the MCs in the story, would their family be considered atypical or different in any way, or do they come from a background considered "standard" in the world of your WIP?

Mariel: Typical but despite this, her upbringing is atypical because of her circumstances.

Axtapor: Typical for a nobleman of the Empire but he doesn't like it.

Fay: Atypical. Her family was extremely impoverished and her parents were not very good parents so she was mostly left to fend for herself.

Wilkes: Atypical. He was orphaned and before that, his birth mother ran away from her husband's home with him.
