#code of creation

Sky curiously sneaks a peek in the box Vio had been eyeing, cyrious what it has to do with Blue.

When opened up after getting past the lock the small box mainly contains some nick-knacks and jewelry. Along with a few letters, an odd dagger, and many many pictures of Blue when he was younger. At the forefront is a picture from when he was first made the Knights captain the helmet just slightly too big on his teen frame.

Vio senses sharp as ever seemed to hear the box being opened despite having gone to the other side of the room.

"...Is there someone there?" He soon after mumbles moving his cloak. "Or am I just hearing things again?"

Code of creation

Creation Spirituality is the idea that divinity permeates all things, and all things have the imprint of divinity. Yet, the sum of all things does not fully encompass the mystery of the divine1. It links science, spirituality, healing, and self-improvement2. The spiritual journey can be understood as a dance moving in and out of four mystical paths4.

i spent, literally all day on this. and i am praying to bill cipher that it does well

three separate ciphers used here, feel free to decode and comment what you found!

but seriously, this is like my magnum opus here. please give him love!!

i’ll be posting a monochromatic version after this

hihelo i made a cool thing!

a while ago @askoverkill made a couple posts about how they'd like a custom isat dialogue maker that had layer functionality, and i saw that and immediately took it up as a coding challenge :>

so i immediately started working on it, forgot about it for about 2 months, and then finished it up surprisingly quickly. it's still missing a lot of potential features, and everything is essentially the bear minimum to get it working, but hey, i learned how to use godot doing this and i'm proud of it and also it's really cool. did you know you can tell computers to do stuff??? that's so cool!!!

also, have to mention kongkrog's isat profile customizer here!!! it's what everyone's been using for a while now, and it has features that my take on this doesn't. it's really good, and i referenced its code quite a bit while making this

go mess around with it if you want! if you have any questions, suggestions, or bugs to report, feel free to bring it up either on the github, in my askbox, or on discord

(Part One) Hi, I am planning this fantasy series all set in a completely fictional world. There are no humans. Looking through your blog I already know some of the do's and don'ts of fantasy species and poc, but my question is, some of my fantasy species do have real skin tones and I wanted to give them features from different real races.

I read all your asks about fantasy races but I there wasn't one that talked about a fantasy world with no humans. My question is: is still othering to have poc in that context? Should I include more humans to balance it out?

Fantasy races with features from real human races

From what I gather, you are saying you are writing a fantasy series with no humans, but a variety of fantasy species, some of which have human-like features, including skin tones. I think this is a simple problem. 

When coding cultures and traditions:

Do not:

Code whole ethnicities/ races for whole species.

This would reinforce the racist pseudoscience notions that differences between groups with different outward appearances connote different intrinsic, biological and behavioral attributes.

Do:

Show ethnicities within species.

Show societal attributes that can all be linked to the circumstances of the environment, even if the outcomes are different for different groups living in the same region. 

Avoid dehumanizing coding Lastly, I advise against creating a [human-like features] = [more human personality] / [animal-like features] = [Less human] dichotomy as this too falls in line with “dehumanizing based on physical appearance” reasoning you are looking to avoid in the event your culture-coding ends up revealing any intrinsic biases.

Cue Sky quickly and quietly putting the box back as fast as possible while trying to look innocent.

"I thought I'd make sure you're not too lonely."

Having finally placed the cloak down Vio comes around where Sky is eyes scanning up and down at the shelf.

"... I see, Just don't touch the items on that shelf. Some of it is cursed or a bit dangerous without precaution. I know that you're a very strong kid. But you know that I-..."

He pauses quickly noticing the jewelry box having been moved eyes widening.

"Sky? Were you looking in the small jewelry box? It's a shelf lower than it should be?"

Even when trying to be fast and despite Vio having not slept in days he still noticed something that small
