I’m such a dork for small world building and environmental details so here are some headcanons I have for Remnant (RWBY)

Argus is cold in winter but susceptible to heatwaves and wildfires in summer

Atlas has short winter days and long summer days but the Haven has similar day lengths across the year

Many homes in Atlas and Mantle have airing cupboards

Each of the kingdoms has differing exports based on their environments.

Atlas relies on imports of food and agriculture based goods from the other three kingdoms and its key export is dust and technology.

Vacuo also relies on agricultural imports due to much of its terrain being desert.

Vale has the most temperate climate but still has its fair share of summer heatwaves and winter snowfall

Mistral has the widest range of climates of any of the four kingdoms including temperate and rainforest environments.

Mistrals rainforests make it a key exporter of medical supplies and advancements.

Menagerie has more limited trade agreements than the four kingdoms but does have a few key exports.

The east of Mistral has heavy volcanism

Geology you say. I'm listening...........

Response to this post, I can only assume. 😏

Me, writing a ~200k fic where Callum makes a geological map of the magical rocks in the Pentarchy and also maybe Rayllum people bang?

It's more likely than you'd think...

This feels like the dumbest thing, but every time I rp a new place, I have to look up a geologic/topo map of the area. It just doesn't feel right if I don't.

Both my starters (Malizi) (Ninevah) required maps to write. And this map of Kyiv is helping too.

what in the. see this is why it's a good thing that multiplayer videogames especially are about having fun & being yourself like what do you mean disguised spies automatically had the speed of the disguise's class & everyone's like yea if i wasn't always going for the scout disguise i'd kill myself right now. i'd be like haha can't catch Me out supposedly the extra slow or extra fast class >:) i am a harmless engineer

the hazard of being a night owl during nano is that Calendar Days and Writing Days aren't actually perfect equivalents, so i end up with asinine timekeeping like "november 18, technically," and "november 18, actually," scribbled in my margins to keep track of nighttime vs daytime writing

scioly states finished..... very long day. our team placed 7th overall out of 40 high schools in the entire state. only top 6 place and get trophies. our school has come in 7th or otherwise top ten not placing every year for the past like decade LOL. except it's not as LOL as it really should be because WE DID SO GOOD THIS YEAR and literally two of our consistently best performing events got trialed meaning the scores for those events didn't count towards our overall because the test proctors made stupid mistakes during the set up. really sad :( especially because they're two events two of our most dedicated seniors work really hard for and this was their last year of scioly ever and we didn't get a trophy because the people running the events messed up. lowkey we also kind of ate shit in a few events like 30th and 25th place and a couple mid ones but otherwise we did good like top 20 and a considerable amount of placing so it's totally possible we could've gotten a trophy if those two events had just gone normally. sad for our seniors. also today was literally our schools prom..... so all the seniors and some juniors literally changed into their suits and dresses after they finished their events and just left to go to prom. crazy. but it's ok. funsies. I like science olympiad. I'm dedicating myself to fossils over the summer I've decided. plus geo it's fun. scioly is fun
