Lore Tuesday

Lore Tuesday

So, a while ago, a community Discord server I was in had a thing called Lore Tuesday: every Tuesday in the daily questions channel you got a free pass to share a random nugget of information about your original world/story/characters. That server is effectively dead now, but I'm bringing Lore Tuesday here, because I miss it very much and it feels like a fun thing to do on the blog –especially considering I haven't actually posted much in the way of worldbuilding, historically speaking. I'm gonna try to post a random lore nugget every Tuesday, and tag it with #lore tuesday! Feel free to snag this idea yourselves if you so desire. :)

Posting the full version of my pfp drawing just bc I was happy with the colors. I swear my new graphics tablet made my art more vibrant with that sweet-ass QLED display

@riverbright I should start doing this to you I think

he’s not working right now so when i don’t come home instantly my boyfriend spams me with pictures of sad animals

that's a good point! the Latin plural would not apply to a word with a Germanic root. so "dinguses" it is!

just like the word radius has the plural form radii, a single macaroni is a macaronus, and the same grammatical law applies to spaghetti (spaghettus), pepperoni (pepperonus), etc.

on its own this is cursed information, but it has more sinister implications.

yes. the plural of dingus is dingi. and there’s nothing that any of you dingi can do about it.

The first citizen of the Moon was born on June 9th, 2044, in Apollo Colony (later Apollo City). Her name was Diana Mavandi-Castellano, born to Jason Mavandi (United States citizen) and Irene Castellano (Ecuadorean citizen), and her birth was a messy affair for the United Nations. Though born into both United States and Ecuadorean citizenship, her birth in Mare Tranquilitatus -literally on the Moon- begged the question: should little Diana be considered, legally, a citizen of the Moon? Or a citizen of the United Nations, broadly? What would that imply?

Ultimately, her birth led the UN to establish its Common Territories Bureau in 2045 to streamline affairs regarding human-inhabited regions that were under international jurisdiction: Antarctica, the seas of Earth, the Moon, and Mars. Ms. Mavandi-Castellano later grew up to head this bureau herself, and later on in her life she would serve as the first UN Ambassador for the Autonomous Territory of Luna (est. 2112).
