#AugustWorldbuilders! Teachers are as diverse in the Library as they are irl. Some are life-changing and some are... very plainly not in the career path they wanted to be in DX But they are *very* important to the Library as a means of preserving itself, so they're all highly respected 1/2

Hello, #AugustWorldbuilders! What are the teachers like in your fictional school? Have you written one? What were they like, both as a person and as an educator?

#AugustWorldbuilders! The specifics vary by campus, but there's always an element of academic elitism permeating the Library Students who perform well in class or are magically gifted are given preferential treatment by both their teachers and peers Those who do poorly aren't exactly bullied, 1/

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 2d ago

#AugustWorldbuilders, hey there friends! What is the general vibe like at your world's school? Are the students polite and mature? Are there bullying problems? Do they do a lot of group work or is it more focused on individual study?

This post is now significantly more concerning now that I've read #GIRLFRAME I'm not sure I want to be the representative mecha space lesbian of this household anymore...

Apparently I am the first person my housemate thought of when her friend mentioned her Mecha Space Lesbian Lancer pilot, so I guess I have that going for me now. Being the representative Mecha Space Lesbian :v

#AugustWorldbuilders! You can probably find a teacher of some kind for any topic you could think of at the Cardinal Campuses of the Library, though whether those are actual credited classes is another matter And the problem is more pronounced if you're attending a Middle Reach College 1/

Good day, #AugustWorldbuilders! Today's Q: does your world have specialized schools for people seeking a specific job or trade? Or anything like a magic or military school?

#AugustWorldbuilders! There are a few core subjects that are mandatory in the Library. Most of them are actually just to ensure people are literate critical thinkers with enough familiarity with magic to not hurt themselves They're *also* there to inculcate the Library's worldview :p 1/

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 4d ago

Good morning, #AugustWorldbuilders! In your fictional settings, what subjects are taught in schools? Do they learn the usual history, math, language, science? Anything extra? Anything specifically removed because the powers-that-be don't want kids learning about it?👀

Today I read #GIRLFRAME by @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social with some friends because they wanted to introduce me to it and my top 5 reactions were: That's fucked :p Ooookay... :/ That's sick as hell >:D awww ;~; <3 *hysterical laughing* Anyway, go buy it :v anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io/girl-frame

GIRL FRAME by anxiousmimicrpgs

Lesbians in mechs, struggling against oppression and eldritch horrors

I just watched the Avatar Aang movie and all I have to say is: It was whelming. I am whelmed :p Fantastic visuals. Uh... definitely would not pay for every other element of the film

(^^)b Finally completed (maybe) research on a key figure in my project! Her historical timeline is 5 pages long and that's not even counting the myths about her DX

#AugustWorldbuilders! Can anyone attend schools in #LionGirl? Yes! In fact, it's a social obligation. Everyone *expects* you to go to school and if you don't, you're a social pariah It comes with the territory of centering your society around a magic library :p 1/2

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 5d ago

Welcome to a new month of worldbuilding! For the first month of #AugustWorldbuilders, we're talking about education in the context of a fictional world. Answer these questions for a fantasy/scifi story. 1. Can anyone attend schools in your setting or is it restricted to certain groups?

I see the end of July is the time period the world has selected to drop *more* things to worry about on me :v

*rushing out the door to catch a bus with a bao in my mouth* Maybe I am an anime girl :v

Just realized I haven't posted the #AugustWorldbuilders megacard yet. I wanted to go with dark background + white text this time. I moved my magic questions throughout the year to here and also moved the religious questions elsewhere so it wouldn't be redundant with Emily's prompt games.

Now let's contrast Eponine with Marius, who upon catching sight of Cosette immediately regrets his charity >:p #LesMis #LesMisLetters

I don't want to hear any Eponine hate. Even with her father's schemes and in the depths of poverty and winter, she still doesn't want Valjean to lose his coat That's someone with a strong sense of humanity that has been quashed by her circumstances (AUGH the Eponine Valjean parallels are so good)

So, um, this is not the post I wanted to make but I'm going to need to take a break from #DiaryOfNana and most online stuff I'm okay (physically at least. We'll see about everything else) but I don't know if/when things will calm down enough for me to be online Stay safe y'all <3

Well, Curse research *is* forbidden. A lot of people were hurt too. I hope everyone from class made it out after the Guardians took down that Curse… I really hope it wasn't an actual Curse like Prof. Rii said, or it's an older Curse that doesn't work the same way. Otherwise… #DiaryOfNana #Fantasy

HAPPY #SHE-RA SUNDAY! I never want to look at this again DX Make some AMVs, I said! It'll be fun, I said! How hard could it possibly be? I said! What a grand and intoxicating innocence >:p youtu.be/hTJActn4ujE

The mages who aren't injured are trying to figure out what to do now, or what that Curse even was. I've heard from other beds that it wasn't like any other Curse we have on the books, but they seemed pretty hush-hush about it. #DiaryOfNana #Fantasy #WebStory #WriteSky

#JulyWorldbuilders! No, but...! There might have been. It's known that the Library's territory has expanded Maybe centuries ago, the people of the Outer Reaches lived in what became the forest of the Cursed Lands Maybe back then, the Cursed Lands and Outer Reaches were in different places...

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · last wk.

#JulyWorldbuilders, hello! Are there any people living in the forest you've been talking about this week? A hidden civilization? Some place where survivors are holding out until the rest of the world returns to normal? A thriving city in the trees? What are these people like?

#JulyWorldbuilders! Lumber, if you want to risk your neck for it :p But nobody wants to go into the Cursed Lands. They're *Cursed* Unless, of course, you're interested in Curse research, which is strictly forbidden by the Library ...but that *is* an awful lot of research material and subjects...

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · last wk.

#JulyWorldbuilders, hey there, friends! What resources are obtained from this forest? Why might someone want to explore it or build a settlement nearby? Does it provide wood or food? Anything unique to your world? 👀

I *love* how she gets all the parallels to Cosette. The bird motif, being called a rose, the underlying grace marred by the misery of her life She deserved so much better (she deserved to get with Cosette but Hugo is a COWARD) My beautiful butch daughter, they could never make me hate you

#JulyWorldbuilders! I haven't really thought of a myth associated with the Cursed Lands, but a common moniker they also have is the Scar Lands or the Scab Lands Ostensibly, an ancient and massive Curse once devastated the area, leading to these pockets of twisted and evil territory! 1/2

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 2w ago

#JulyWorldbuilders, good morning friends! Tell me about a myth related to your forest. Or about some supernatural or mythical entities that exist within it. What are the mysteries and wonders of this wood? 👀

#JulyWorldbuilders! To no one's surprise, the Cursed Lands forest is filled with Curses :p Specifically Aberrants, who represent the Curse of warping. These shadowy, ever-flowing, ever-bubbling, ever-sharpening beasts were apparently once normal creatures before their Curse befell them :( 1/2

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 2w ago

Hello, #JulyWorldbuilders! In the forest you're talking about this week, what are some plants or animals that can be found there? If you want to get freaky, feel free to include fungi, too!

Me: Wait, I know I can make this lip-sync better *reconstructs the entire sequence frame-by-frame to get the timing right* *repositions every frame because there's shaking in the original* *custom mask because the background is jittery from the cuts* What do you MEAN that was only 4 seconds?!?

This is coming tomorrow and it is the single biggest example of sunk cost fallacy in my life DX I have tossed so many hours into this video and *it's not even good* Brought to you by spending 5 hours subtitling 3 min because I made some very silly mistakes

We're missing a lot of Guardians now too. All those Aberrants and that Curse really tore them up. It's actually kind of amazing that West is still standing. #DiaryOfNana #Fantasy #WebStory #WriteSky

I lied, I went back to do more edits :p But you want to know what the saddest part it? Genuinely, despite the hours of work I've put into this thing, I think the single original singer track is just a better mix DX Sometimes the vision does not pan out :,<

Audio balancing done ;~; (Or at least as good as I can get it :p)
