How did you came up with your elemental system? I've got really inspired by you and want to create something similar, but don't want to steal your work. All things you create, by the way, is really cool!

Heya Anon!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I go into more about how I came up with my system here:

But the gist of it was I was unhappy with how limiting having 4/5 elements was. (4 being earth wind fire water, 5 including spirit into the mix)

It just felt like there was so much MORE that wasn't being utilized and so i set out to puzzle out exactly WHAT I thought was missing.

IIRC my original list went something like this: Fire Water Air Earth Light Dark Time Space Luck Fate Order Chaos Blood Gravity Lightning

The last three on this list did not make the final cut as I felt like they didn't fit with the themes that the rest all came together to make (That and i decided that my elements would be able to be combined to form any missing elements I was needing (Space+ Earth= Gravity) (Light + Fire = Lightning) Blood was just my way of trying to input a 'Spirit' element lol)

But as for making your own to work with: Figure out WHAT you're trying to get out of what you're working with. When I started with mine I tried thinking about the things that I felt impacted my life on the regular in addition to the traditional 4 elements. Light and Dark came about because of day and night as well as how they help me view the world. Time and Space because I am always somewhere at some point in time and that helped me be more conscious of the world around me. Luck and Fate are the paths that I cannot control that directly influence the direction of where my life is headed. Order and Chaos were my way of explaining the state of things around me/my life.

It took several weeks for me to really gather everything together and have it be how it is so don't get discouraged if you don't stumble upon something right away. Don't be afraid to drop what isn't working for you (like Blood element lmao)

TLDR: Figure out what you'd like to try and experiment with it!

Also protip: I don't own these elements, these are just the way my think brain likes to interpret things so if they speak to you too: Cool!

Thanks again for your kind words and your patience in me getting to this ask!

Wedding papercraft for a family friend! Their photos were SO beautiful - the couple looked so tender and happy together! You simply don't get more romantic than a classic forehead touch. ^_^ Congratulations, you two! 💕
