In a lovely little wood, where the leaves were sprinkled with gold and glittered with diamonds, the beautiful princesses danced on till their satin slippers were worn into pieces. When the music stopped, a delicious supper was served consisting of sugared flowers, crystallised rose leaves, and powdered violets, which are, as everyone knows, the favourite food of princesses.

Andrew Lang, "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" (The Red Fairy Book, 1890)

sorry, he's allergic to SOUP? no wonder he thinks he's destined for infinite sadness, i'd believe that too if my immune system thwarted me from slurpin down a nice hearty bowl of soup 😭

Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Ecological Challenges and Environmental Disasters)

Ecological Challenges and Environmental Disasters Worldbuilding Questions:

What are the unique or different ecosystems in this world (e.g., terrestrial or aquatic systems). Which are stable, and which (if any) are under pressure and why?

What was the last major environmental catastrophe (e.g., a major fire, tremors, flood)? What happened?

Who is concerned about the environment’s well-being, and why?

Who is skeptical about environmental threats or dangers, and why?

Where is the environment most robust, and where are the greatest threats to stability, life, the land’s well-being?

Where would people seek refuge in the event of a disaster and why?

When do seasonal or periodic climate or other ecological changes occur, and why?

When major events affecting the environment occurred, and what are dominant attitudes towards it? Do they differ between inhabitants?

Why are certain environmental challenges predominant?

Why do inhabitants of this world value or exploit the natural world, and how?

not the ahsoka novel reminding me that obiwan had no idea why the clones turned on the jedi

why cody turned on him

also id like to point out the fact that in this paragraph he is remembering his lost family, and cody is the first one mentioned

Ohhhhh, you don't say. Ohhhhh, so the High Republic era Jedi also said that running off to go save people by giving them special treatment just because you wanted to save them while at the expense of the situation that actually needed you, was not the right thing to do? Ohhhh, okay, I see. Anyway, I love this song! *puts it on repeat* (Star Wars: The High Republic: Mission to Disaster)

Messy relationships & revolution visual novel Amarantus is 40% off on Steam this week, as part of the Game Devs of Color Expo (hello, that's me, and also most of the other contributors).

The artbook and soundtrack are discounted too!

And if you already have all of the above, drop by the Steam page anyway and enjoy watching me play through the first hour of the game, where I spend many minutes

avoid the rampant urge to drop spoilers

getting a huge amount of glee out of character animations
