#MythAugust 5 is about hierarchy and I'm going to make this short again, there is none as far as the mortals can tell.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 16h ago

#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! 😊❤️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 5:
Let's talk hierarchy! Which of your deities are more powerful/respected? Are there minor deities who serve the big ones?

#FantasyIndiesAugust 5 Assuming "important days in WIP" means in the fictional world. Not that it matters a lot because I have been remiss about that again. Or to frame it less self-critically: I dislike basically any kind of special day rather deeply, so I never moved beyond characters' birthdays.

"Powerful people are trying to sow division, pitting us against one another. This is why we must never criticise each other, and if you see something do it, they're an agent of those powerful people, so you should immediately /i

It's not like I don't want to relate to people's mistakes. But I still think you can only feel good about using ai if you don't care about truth. And I think that's a shortcoming in any person, but it's unforgivible in someone earning lots of money as a ~science educator~.

Ken Jennings could, at any time and without any relevant cost, apologise and use his influence to mitigate the damage he has caused. He chooses not to do that. The accounts that follow him could pressure him. They choose not to do that.

#FantasyIndiesAugust 4 is asking for our favourite piece of folklore or fairytale and I thin I'll just be lazy again and go with The Emperor's New Clothes. As far as I remember, this is quite okay or a fairytale, teaches us not to trust figures of authority who are trying to get us to buy into a lie

#MythAugust 4 There are no factions, as such. The gods' actual plans and interests are rather mysterious to mortals, and so far they haven't mattered much to the plot, so once again I would compare them to pet owners. Do my guinea pigs perceive me and am I an important influence in their lives? Sure

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 2d ago

#MythAugust 4 Today, tell me about the different factions among your gods/spirits. Think like the Æsir & Vanir in Norse mythology, or angels & demons in Christianity. What's their relationship? Are they sworn enemies? Sometimes allies? Interpret the question however makes sense for your story!

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 4:
Are there different factions among your deities? If so, what is their relationship to each other?

#FantasyIndiesAugust 3 Book covers. Well about that: I already showed what art I have for Yanis and it's for the second volume and probably not even the cover, if there ever even will be a cover. Still, here it is again because it is gorgeous. Thank you Fuchskind!

5 characters in an implied picture frame in front of a background that looks roughly like a forest:
Top left: Person turns their back to us, has turned their head so that we can see the left half of their face. Their face shows numerous burns, only a few reddish tufts of hair are left of their head, their nose is completely missing.

Top right: Black-haired person with a dagger in their hand and a hood over their head smiles mischievously.

Centre left: Person with tousled black hair in a green robe holding a staff with a built-in magical glowing stone, looking belligerently in our direction with half-open mouth and wide-open eyes.

Centre right: person with slightly over shoulder-length brown hair and a short full beard looks calmly neutral.

Bottom centre: Minotaur with reddish-brown fur and a ring in their left ear, eyes are not visible as they are hidden under fur. We can only see the nose and mouth.

#MythAugust 3 Long story short, I'd say the gods of Yanis' world behave towards humans like mainstream humans behave towards non-humans. They like some of us and then are generally kind to those, don't care much about the others. Some of them are sometimes needlessly cruel and hardly any of them are

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 3d ago

#MythAugust 3 What kind of moral code do your fantasy gods or spirits follow, if any? Do they share similar moral values to the people, or is their sense of morality completely alien? Do they even do "morality" at all? As usual, interpret as you wish and don't forget to interact with others! ☺️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 3:
How does your deities' sense of morality align with that of people? I.e. are they moral, immoral, amoral, a mix...?

Cool how he makes this all about the *important* person in this story, KEN JENNINGS, TRANS ALLY with no mention of the trans woman he subjected to the conservative media spotlight with his tantrum, or all the trans posters he blocked for calling him out for it.

five posts of ken whining about how mean right wing media is to him and how great a trans ally he is without a single word about the actual trans people he insulted and harmed with his tantrum

Alle ~demokratischen~ Parteien erzählen uns jetzt gerade, wie dringend wir für sie kämpfen müssen, damit wir auch in Zukunft ein bisschen mitbestimmen dürfen, welche Farbe der Stiefel hat.

#MythAugust Let's yap about some Gods. Shall we? Val-Kresh - God of Order. Language. Perfection. Organization. A very rarely seen God whose voice sounds like a glass harp to mortal ears. The formation of Tey 'Ra 'Tah caused him to come into existence at the same moment as his brother .... (1/8)

Day 2 #MythAugust I think this would be a good point to mention the dragons. They’re not gods or deities but they are commonly seen as the antithesis to them. The gods lack of control over them and their behavior requires human intervention which leads to different religious practices.

Two truths and a lie for #FantasyIndiesAugust sounds fun, I love truthing, but I also love lying, so here goes: 1. There's a pirate volume in the series! 2. There's a quest to restore the rightful ruler to the realm! 3. I'm considering an ethically questionable redemption arc for Yanis' really evil

Ya know, I've had some religions in basic concepts for a while. These aren't part of any of my established settings, but I'll use this game to build them out a little more. There are three religions, competing over the same world. The power of these gods is /readily/ apparent. 🧵 #MythAugust

#FantasyIndiesAugust Hi, I'm Fabian and I write ... a lot of different genres, but mainly light entertainment. Not saying it's any good, but my fantasy series "Yanis" is among the most closest to my heart of my stories or however one could have said that more elegantly. It's based on a character

Top left: Person turns their back to us, has turned their head so that we can see the left half of their face. Their face shows numerous burns, only a few reddish tufts of hair are left of their head, their nose is completely missing.

Hello #MythAugust! This week I'll talk about the elven religion. The elves of Tron Daurat believe themselves to be gods, but they do revere a sequence called the Sefirot, the ten conceptual phases of creation. The Sefirot were an instruction manual that gradually became idealized traits of divinity.
