#the world building is amazing really

[toadandtails]

not to get sentimental over an anime i just got into but its genuinely so refreshing watching dunmesh. there's no incest, the underage characters aren't sexualized, and most if not all the fan service is of senshi and laios or even chilchuck. this is the bare minimum of making a good anime but it's got me really happy

kinda feel like I'll never get into one piece. sorry

3 Amazing Youtube Channels for Worldbuilders/Writers

I myself and another victim to the glorious yet cruel oversight of Youtube, and have a depressing amount of hours heaved into it. When stumped on creative ideas I often turn to Youtube Channels dedicated to writing, art, and worldbuilding. Here are some of my favorites, and why I think you should check them out

Tale Foundry

Tale Foundry is a very down to earth world building and writing channel. Their cast frequently goes into the depths of world building and writing on the stories, books, and concepts they cover. Their videos are accompanied by a kindly sounding narrator, and beautiful art, making their videos incredibly calming to listen to and watch. 

They tackle and talk about many unique writing concepts, especially with settings, which I sometimes struggle with. They also run the world building lofi stream. Some of their videos are straight up tutorials or advice videos about writing and world building. They also touch on folk lore and folk tales, which I always love indulging in.

Terrible Writing Advice

Now I know what you’re thinking. With that title that sounds like the last channel I’m looking for, but hear me out. Terrible Writing Advice is a hilarious channel which purposefully strives to give great writing advice by doing the opposite. With the great use of reverse psychology and excellent humor, they quickly teach you the pitfalls and traps of writing.

Their videos point out many bad tropes, and secretly how they’re made. Often the narrator pauses in goes into sudden depth about how these bad decisions gets made, and what good decisions and writing pondering sounds like, only to jokingly throw that all out the window. If you can handle good reverse psychology, and love crude humor, this is the channel for you.

Map Crow

Map Crow is a newer channel. They primarily focus on TTRPG world building, and I love their creativity and great ideas. I also adore their art, and strive to be able to draw something like them. I myself really like drawing maps too, so they’re amazing to watch while doing that.

Map Crow’s creativity is infectious. They show the concept design process, and how that can branch into many great creative ideas. They also tackle bland by not inherently looking at them as something bad but showing how you can crazily improve upon anything to make it dynamic for either stories, art, world building, and especially TTRPGs.

the genius of: snow always lands on top. the absolute brutality of the hunger games. the ability to see a slow decent into selfish unshakable desire for glory and success. the ever present reminder of katniss with her mockingjay and flower and district 12. the slaughter. the mystery. the shift between i must better myself i myself be powerful to feelings of genuine loyalty and love only to be completely drowned out by that feeling of total power. the creation of a monster.

Elden ring OCs are either the worst most self indulgent out of place shit you've ever seen OR the most well thought out, beautifully designed, that fit perfectly in the world characters as if they were always there. And there's never any in-between

like don't take my complaints about the current state of jjk as me being bitter my fav died

gojo dying could have been a great way of driving home what he was working toward - his students succeeding him and being stronger than him. what a way to drive home the power of sukuna than killing gojo 'gg eez' satoru who face rolls every thing thrown in his way. and what a way of showing his legacy than people like yuji and yuta being able to kill sukuna after that.
