Question from a dumb white bitch. I'm making my own world. With various cultures. Some of which are inspired by real world cultures. It is mostly set in a Caribbean inspired location around the Golden age of Piracy. Again though, own world, different culture. I live in a tiny hick town. I dont have many friends that share my views or aren't white. I am working on the indigenous culture that lives in my island area. And I would love to have some friends who could check my shit. Again I know its fanasty and my own world. But that doesn't mean I don't put in the work. I have a lot of stuff for them already. But still, I'm not looking for brownie points. I'm just looking for people to point out if doing something harmful(again I'm a dumb white bitch. Also autsitic so I sometimes need things pointed out) Because the story im writing is a queer fanasty for everyone. So if anyone on here can point me to information on The indigenous people of the Caribbean (the Taíno, the Island Caribs of the Lesser Antilles, and the Guanahatabey of western Cuba. Source wiki) or are part of any of these tribes and would like to have a friendly chat please hit me up! I work at a tribal casino in Michigan. I dont know how Tribal offices work down south im afraid. I've done some research and have lore and history planed. And again its my own world. No 'Mythology' is shared with real world. In this world each culture shares the same Gods and Magic. Just how they practice is different. I dont wanna explain to much of my story on a public post. But please feel free to message me with advice, questions or tips!

ALRIGHT I’M ONLY GONNA SAY IT ONCE

You do not have to have your characters name mean something. It can just sound nice or it’s the first thing you think of when you think of the person. Sure names can have meaning. I still look up name meanings! But how many people do you know IRL that have names other than “My parents thought it sounded nice.” Or “I’m named after my  “Great grandsomething”. Don’t feel pressured to make everything have a deeper meaning. This goes for shop names, countries, organizations, planets, items, anything. SOMETIMES THE MEANING IS IT SOUNDS NICE.

Does anyone know where I can find blueprints, designs or for scale images of various ships used during the 16th, 17th, and 18th century. I've search everywhere and I'm finding a lot of dead links.

Dear Grandma Mom gave me this diary after your funeral. She said I could use it to talk to you. She told me if I write to you, you will be happy. But her thoughts said that she was only doing this to keep me out of the way. She doesn't want me to bother her with feelings. But that's okay. I really hope you are reading this. You were the only one who believed me. I remember when I ran away after school. I ran away for many reasons. The main one was the pain I felt in my head. I ran and ran until I was lost in the woods. It was quite. Until I heard you call out my name. It wasn't a voice in my ears, it was a voice in my head. You knew I would hear you. So I ran back to you. You smiled when you saw me and I ran and gave you a hug. You told me how you used to have the same problem and how your dad used to help you. You told me how happy you were when my mom didn't get this gift. Because you didn't want her to have a hard life. But when I was born you lost your gift and you knew where it went. You knew one day I would start to hear everyone's thoughts. After that I would always sneak away down the street to see you. You taught me how to control my thoughts. You never opened your mouth. You and I would 'talk' for hours. I was so happy. But now I'm lonely. I can't hear the kindness in the tone of your thoughts. The sarcasm in your head when my mom said something. That time you said a bad word at someone who cut you off. It's a painful slience. But I hope you aren't lonely. I hope you are with your dad. I hope you can hear his thoughts and he can hear yours. Maybe one day, we can all listen to one another. Together.

You, secretly a telepath, lose a loved one. Describe what it feels like to no longer hear their thoughts.
