Happy world building Wednesday! What is your absolute favorite part of world building to do?
My favorite part of worldbuilding is when the world locks into the story just so -- and I stop worldbuilding and the world starts telling me things.
I think of it like...I sink the world into itself, and once it reaches a critical mass of reference, and roots, and content, it starts creating itself. This is especially true of the big, worldbuilding-focused projects. Peasant is a character study before anything else, but the Legendarium is a setting that I feel is no longer at a point I write or build, but one I study to see what's there, and every once in a while, pour a little something something in the pot to see what it disturbs.
The only struggle is, I haven't figured out how to go back from worldbuilding to character. I really do enjoy what I'm doing with Peasant, making a clean world sculpted to the characters and the story, making it all fit together, but I do really want to learn how to do the reverse: go from a world to characters, and tell stories that way.
...some day....

hello there, angel
[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash is sitting facing the viewer and holds a rose between his clasped together hands, but he’s looking to the left, upwards, at Wolfwood, with an awed expression. Wolfwood hovers over him with wings sprouting from his back. He has a cigarette lit between his lips, his arms and legs are crossed, and he looks back at Vash with a neutral expression. The both of them are covered in a blue shadow, casted by Wolfwood and his hovering form, while warm light hits the back of his wings and over Vash’s legs. Small feathers sits next to Vash. End ID]

OOOH BABY THIS ONE WAS A LONG TIME COMING.
NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE!!
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER. A DAY OF ADVENTURE WITH YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS. OH HOW TIGHTLY YOU HOLD THEM TO YOUR CHEST, AND OH HOW TERRIFYING IT IS TO WATCH THEM GET EVISCERATED BY SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. MAYBE IF YOU JUST LISTENED A BIT MORE, IF YOU LET THE SMART ONE LEAD THE CHARGE, THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. ONCE AGAIN YOUR IMPULSIVENESS LEADS TO DISASTER.
HEAR ME NOW, YOUNG TIDESTRIDER, YOUR STUPIDITY WILL BRING THE DEMISE OF EVERYTHING YOU WERE BORN AND FORGED TO PROTECT. HOW COULD THE PROPHECY HAVE CHOSEN SOMEONE SO USELESS?
I BET YOU WISH YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT LEVER.
FAILURE.
