#AwesomeCharacters It really varies from character to character, but I think my most consistent way is with stillness. People aren’t meant to be still. We move constantly even when we’d say we’re at rest. If someone goes completely still, they’re about to do something with all that tension.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! What's your favorite way to indicate anger in a character? Do they yell? Or go silent? Tense their shoulders? Grind their teeth? Does it vary for different characters? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

I am trying to write a sequel right now… The biggest roadblock is the the book before it is still unrealease and thus can be endlessly poke and prodded and edited again and again and again… So I should probably just release it shouldn’t I? #WritingPrompt #WriteSky

#CartAugust To the North in Ela’s Wyld, but I’m going to me honest, I haven’t world built around it much, or even given it a name yet… let’s fix that. That’s Crystal Lake, so named for the crystal clear snowmelt from the Dragonspire Mountains that also carries magical mineral deposits to form

#AnthropologyAugust So this isn’t particular to any species, but medical knowledge is the domain of Polyena and her Temple, and most of her priests are either human or Wyldkin, so I guess they win. As for “Germs”, they don’t know about them in the same way we do, but they do know that certain kinds

#Critterary Lychors look like nightmares! They are semi-bipedal wolves, with both long legs and arms, as well as long fingered hands at the end of those arms. Their heads are shaped similarly to humans for the top half, with a wolf muzzle taking up the nose/mouth/chin area. Their fur is a mix of

#CartAugust So the big bodies of water are the Dagger Sea, kind of a narrow bay if we’re being completely honest, and Mourn Lake to the south. The Dagger Sea continues further west off the page and eventually opens up to a vast ocean. The Alliance are not a particularly sea faring people, so they

#AugustWorldbuilders So Henet is technically Roderika and Arlo’s magic tutor, but they’re… not particularly good at their job? Part of it is an aptitude thing. Henet is capable of all three disciplines of Magic (Arcane, Spiritual, and Enhancement) but their real talents only lay in on (Arcane).

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?

#MythAugust In terms of “power”, Primordial Gods Rank over the The Nine and the Minor Gods. They’re not exactly worshiped though, more acknowledged, excepting Astel, Primordial God of the Void, who is actively worshiped by the Elves. The Nine are mostly coequal in terms of worship/power.

#MythAugust 5 Today is about hierarchy! Who ranks highest or lowest among your gods/spirits/whatever? Is there a consensus about this ranking? As usual, interpret the question as loosely as you need to to fit your specific worldbuilding, and feel free to skip if it's not relevant to you! 😊❤️

#AwesomeCharacters It’s either Roderika or Henet, and even if it’s the former it’s at the latter’s direction, I’m sure of it. They were probably trying to set up some kind of trap/prank/pratfall and messed up. I’m honestly not even mad, just disappointed.

#WritingQ Not an entire chapter, but damn near. Usually to combine two that aren’t working apart but would be better together, or to transpose what’s left of a chapter elsewhere.

Have you ever deleted entire chapters? I did once when I didn’t know the ending so I was just yapping about nothing instead of figuring it out. #writingq #WritingCommunity

Tips: -Don't follow-for-follow random accounts. Look at their profile, read their bio, check out their replies to other people -Are they reposting/engaging w/community, or is their feed just spam? -Hit [...] on their profile and search their posts for "AI"—if it's a human are they pro AI? Some are😬

#AnthropologyAugust The smallest would be the Dwarves, who rarely top out around 5’ 5” or so, the vast majority being under 5’. This isn’t a massive setback to them as the live completely underground or in places similarly devoid of daylight.

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2d ago

#AnthropologyAugust Once again doing the opposite, we just talked about the largest intelligent species, now what is the smallest? Does your setting have goblins or gnomes? Or does it have even smaller creatures like bugs or fairies? Does their size affect their interactions with other species?

#MythAugust Okay I have a couple of delineations that I think are relevant here; First is Gods VS Primordial Gods. The latter are the fundamental building blocks of reality, and would exist with or without any human involvement (things like fire, water, space, etc) The Former are what you’d

#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?

#CartAugust Okay so it’s kind of hard to see because it’s hard to draw right, but Integris’s Crossing is a city sized bridge spanning the last few miles of the Gold River before it falls into a massive waterfall (think Niagara but *bigger*) So the whole of the Alliance is actually several hundred

#AwesomeCharacters Roderika is writing hers mostly as a travelogue, detailing the places and wonders she and the gang saw and the trials set by the Gods along the way. Tala’s only writing would probably be the forward to Roderika or Mary’s (probably both). Her skills aren’t in writing and she’d
