Art class project that I really enjoyed doing, each radial layer from the moon-like figure on the right represents a new type of map.

1st is the moon, which I was originally going to fully fill in, but the shaded face is a very nice look.

2nd is a map showing volcanic hotspots within the ocean along with ocean currents and landmass.

3rd is a map of surface insolation as is important for photosynthetic plants and bacteria.

4th is a map of nuerons meant to indicate complex memory as a mapping strategy as in herds and migrations.

5th is a map of magnetic declination, with a break between north and south facing magnetism near the bottom.

6th and on the right is meant to be a cave painting, with hand-prints and animal figures. The eyes on the top and bottom of the

7th and on the left is stylistically based on maps recovered in ancient times, with an emphasis on features and blocky texturing. The text within the boundaries of the city is a font I'm planning on using in a Monster Hunter project, and is technically in English. (King and Temple are legible in the first couple of lines)

8th and on the right is the standard texturing I used on my PMD maps and features a script based off of my earliest conlang, but is using basically random glyphs. it is meant to be Medieval, and has coastlines which emphasis simple lines and curves.

9th and on the left is a naval map featuring many coastal cities, with their labels written in my main conlang script MAEPS. The coastlines emphasize bays to a major extent, with similarly blocky landmasses as the Medieval map.

10th and on the right is a topographic map with naturalistic coastlines, which sadly was drawn at the wrong scale for it to look good 😔

11th and on the left is a map drawn to emulate the aesthetics of GIS formatting, in particular the mountain and forest texturing which is cropped by the extent of their polygons. The coastlines continue to be naturalistic. The text is a font I'm planning on using in future pokemon projects and is based off of the font used in the gen 8/9 games. (the larger city in the bottom left corner reads Azumarill since I couldn't think of anything else to use)

maybe it's just bias speaking but i don't get why squid game is in call of duty of all things when i think it would fit dbd (squid game is horror argue with the wall). i know netflix and dbd broke up and only partnered again to bring back stranger things but come onnnn it's free money

man I love maps I love geography even spatial analysis and shit I think it's neat and can be valuable but sometimes I have sort of a master's tools crisis about it bc like. I'm in this GIS program and oh turns out that classmate's a cop. that other classmate works in national security. that classmate works for the air force. I look for GIS jobs and it's like "would you like to work for the CIA? would you like to work for Homeland Security? how about Consulting Companies A-Z who are also, incidentally, CIA or DHS contractors??" and no, I really would not like that. that's the last thing I would like. is there anyone out there who would pay me to use these skills to not be evil

Lollipo★Yummy Way

Looking at this card for a very long time made me realize something: all of the depictions of Snatchy on the Yummy synchro monsters have the light-up/non-white parts of their suit match the specific Yummy type in the card. As in: I noticed that the left arm of Snatchy's suit here matches the pink and green striped raincoat of the Lollipo on the right. Very cute little detail. What’s even cuter, however, is the Yummy looking like a little baby in Snatchy’s arms once again. Just the fact that it’s smaller than the other Lollipos right next to it has convinced me that this one is, in fact, a baby Yummy. Completely baffled by the pure joy being expressed by every Lollipo here. The Cupsies look like they're fleeing in the foreground on their card, and a little sneak peak at the Cooky card shows that they continue to experience the horrors from Snatchy's presence, but the Lollipos???? They're just here to have fun I guess LOL. What's great is that Snatchy seems to be enjoying themselves too! Love that adorable smiling, winking face.

Rating: 10/10, Lollipos have not a care in the world

I'm fascinated by the various distanced you have provided us. I'm curious why you chose the road through Ard-galen for the Barad Eithel-Himring route? At least during the Long Peace, wouldn't it be also possible to ride through Ladros and Dorthonion and then head north towards Barad Eithel through the Fen or Serech (and the other way around)? Would that be a shorter route? Or am I being naive and that route would be too mountainous/forest-y/march-y to reasonably ride?

I did consider that! or at least I considered a route through Dorthonion. Let's take a look at the map:

As you can see, the route via Ladros is the longest, because you'd have to go north from Himring, south through the highlands and north again along Rivil. I don't think the Fen itself is viable in the etymological sense :D

The shortest way would be to cross the mountains south of Ladros and that looks like an absolute nightmare! Don't do that!

It may just be possible to cross the mountains east of Ered Gorgoroth? I don't know if this would be faster since there is no pass on the map there. At school I learned a rule of thumb that while usually walking speed is 10–15min per 1km, walking uphill you calculate 10min per 100m of altitude. 6km distance can mean >2h of walking if the terrain is bad! and horses won't help.

Overall, I think that especially during the Siege it would be fastest to go along the northern slopes of Dorthonion where there would be well-maintained roads and way stations for military reasons.

I sense an Auradon Mapping Project in my future…

I’m still making my way through the giant stack of Descendants tie-in books I bought a while ago, and the more I read, the more I want to dive into the actual kingdom divisions of the “USA”

(it’s critical that you all know I am making the most exhausted possible air quotes around USA - if the mashed up fairy tale kingdoms in this franchise are mostly referred to as KINGDOMS and REGIONS they would not also be STATES! It’s a weird choice for an acronym that doesn’t make that much sense in the first place!)

anyway.

This page got to me:

Let me break the start of this one down—

Sherwood Forest is six hours away from Auradon City.

Sherwood Forest is located in Westerly.

Westerly is one of the nineteen (19) regions of Auradon.

great, makes sense!

Except, does it? Because this raises SO many more questions for me, and I’m not even getting into any of the maps that are provided earlier in the book, because frankly they’re sort of a nightmare and provide NO useful sense of scale.

My initial questions:

Sherwood Forest is six hours away from Auradon City. Great! This gives us a sense of scale to measure from for the other kingdoms.

The other kingdom/region pages don’t mention how far they are from Auradon City, so this probably means six hours is pretty far.

Because they’re measuring from Auradon City, we can reasonably assume that Auradon Prep is located in Auradon City, or possibly a small town directly adjacent to the city.

In the movies it looks like Auradon Prep is on a pretty big campus, with open space for sports fields, and a forest on the edge of the property. Cities don’t…..usually have that much open green space to allocate to a school, so Auradon Prep is probably located in a smaller town close to the city. Maybe they’re making an effort to be walkable, and the Museum of Cultural History is on the edge of the city closest to Auradon Prep? Maybe they want the students to be involved in the Auradon City civic processes, so they take students into the city regularly? We don’t know for sure!

As a follow up question, is Sherwood Forest six hours from Auradon City by car? Carriage? Ship? Moped? Private jet?

Because they’re calling this the “USA”, I’m going to assume the answer is car. That feels like an appropriately US-centric method of measuring travel times.

Sherwood Forest is located in Westerly! One of the nineteen (19) regions!

WHAT ARE THE OTHER REGIONS??? ARE THEY NOT STATES?? USA???

It’s fine, I’m fine, this is all cool. Regions. Nineteen of them. With towns within them, like Sherwood Forest and Locksley, Robin Hood’s hometown. Both located within Westerly. One of the nineteen regions.

if we’re going back to Robin Hood lore, these locations all get way more complicated . I’m choosing to believe that Locksley is the smallest town/holding, located within the larger Nottingham/Nottinghamshire County, which is located in the region of Westerley, in the USA. That’s four levels of governance to deal with. Yay, local politics!

Are the nineteen regions of the USA mostly kingdoms? Do they each have a royal/noble family? We know that each of the classic Disney Princesses has a kingdom, but are there multiple kingdoms per region? Are some regions not considered kingdoms?

In conclusion:

I’m more confused than when I started.

Someday I’m going to make a master list of all the movies I want to fit into this world and just spend an entire weekend making a region/kingdom/town map for Auradon so I can keep track of the nineteen (19) regions.

I got really fixated on this nineteen regions thing while reading, and will be structuring my personal headcanons for Auradon government around this number.
