Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

#MythAugust 2 In Na'aqal mythology, there are around 100 known gods & countless minor spirits/demons. Ba'oaxa the Thunder God was the first, & from him came 11 Elemental Gods (the Ba'oaxanaan). They then gave birth to 50 more gods, the Aldenaan (dream-born), who make up the main pantheon... 🧵1/3

#MythAugust Day 2 Tell us about the major god(s) or spirit(s) in your fantasy religion! This is meant to be a broad overview - we'll have focused questions for specific gods later! Feel free to interpret the question as loosely as you need to if you aren't working with a traditional pantheon 😁

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 2: Who are the major gods or spirits in your fantasy religion? List as many or as few as you want! Background image features a classic painting of Thor wielding his hammer with lightning, about to smote his enemies. Below the hashtag in small text it says "Presented by @professoremily.bsky.social."

#MythAugust 1 I was coming back from a long road trip yesterday, so here I am catching up on my own prompt game! 😅 I'll be once again yapping about the Na'aqal religion from my #GodsOfAtalantis trilogy. It's a polytheistic religion with 2 main gods at the center, the Sea Mother & Sun Father. 🌊☀️

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 5d ago

Hello #writingcommunity, welcome to Day 1 of #MythAugust! This is a worldbuilding game about ✨fantasy✨ gods, myths & religions! You can use the prompts to build up your gods, or yap about some you've already made! Today, give us a BRIEF intro (not too detailed!), & please interact with others ☺️❤️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 1: Introduce your fantasy religion! Is it monotheistic (1 god), polytheistic (many gods), or something else?

Darzi-Ekh is the supreme deity. Whenever a character says "the Goddess" they nearly always mean her. Nidzi -- Mother Earth -- is second in rank, but her feast days are the most significant, since she nurtures all life. The lesser goddesses are invoked and revered to a lesser extent. #MythAugust

#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?

#MythAugust 5. Hierarchy is based on Enlightenment (in short, knowledge + ability to interact with the Grace/Blight), and thus it’s something “freely given” and accepted rather than enforced. Såkvarta, Sivæfōl, Mynyll, and Ruranan sit at the top. Then, of note, we have Ve̊laus (1/3) #ValkīforSaga

#WIPSnips Word of the day is carrier… which I don’t have so it’s ✨vibes✨ From Dust and Shadows -Peter carries a deer over his shoulder. Michael tells him that Tigerlily asked him to come to help protect him, since fairies are mainly after him. Peter brushes off the concerns #WritingCommunity

“Tigerlily said that someone should come with you when you leave the burrow. We don’t know what the fairies are up to.” Michael said, looking down at the deer’s body as Peter hoisted it over his shoulder. He nearly rolled his eyes at Michael’s concern. The last thing he needed was Tigerlily to be concerned for him, especially with the war. Why should anyone be worried about him? “It’s fine, Michael. I can handle myself.” He mumbled as he began walking back to camp.

August 5th – carrier #AnthropomorphicNovel, today! Ray is waiting in a hotel lobby to meet a date. But that doesn’t mean the date gets to meet her. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I circled towards the main desk. Smiling employee Annette was helping a harried looking woman with a pet carrier in her hands. “You told me you allowed pets!” the guest shrieked, borderline hysterical. “You can’t turn Marvin away!” “Yes, ma’am.” Annette’s smile never wavered. “We do allow cats and small dogs. Ball pythons, however, may make our other guests uncomfortable. If you read the relevant section of our website…” I chuckled to myself as I walked back out of earshot. The hotel business must get very interesting. Not that my job was boring. I completed my circuit and arrived back at my seat just in time to see a woman in a yellow sundress enter. She was young, pretty, more nervous than Greta had been. She clutched her bag to her chest and scanned the hotel anxiously. It didn’t look like she did this kind of thing often. She certainly didn’t look like a hardened killer. But appearances didn’t mean anything, so I took a moment to study her. Then, I grabbed my things and headed for the door, brushing past her on the way out.

#SumLuv 5. I honestly don't remember ever reading a pure romance novel when I was younger because, surprise surprise, the genre didn't interest me. That changed when I read Shaken to the Core by Jae, my first-ever lesbian romance, thanks to a recommendation from a Swedish pen pal.

#Critterary 5. The artworks below (one by the amazing @drafru.bsky.social and another a fanart by also incredible @solidpawn.bsky.social) show Ashrah in her natural form, which serves as a great example of the elbhyr’s general appearance, but let’s break it down (1/5): #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

Artwork by Drafru (@drafru.bsky.social‬) showing Ashrah in her natural, demonic form of an elbhyr (pronounced ele-ruir). She's a tall, thin demon (so thin we can see the bones in most of her body) with purple skin, claws, a long, wild white hair, purple eyes, thin horns, pointy ears, and two husks on each side of her mouth, one pointing up, the other down. She wears metal beacers, a chest armour, and a cloak around her neck. Otherwise, she's naked, and we can see she has no sexual or gender marks in this form.Fanart of Ashrah in her demonic form by Solid Pawn (https://bsky.app/profile/solidpawn.bsky.social/post/3lz5moghalk2v). It shows the elbhyr [pronounced ele-ruir] in a prowling position, one bent leg in front of the other, her mouth opened to show her teeth and the tusks on each corner of her mouth. Her skin and eyes are purple, a stark contrast with her long, wild white hair.

#SumLuv I’m demisexual, but I have ADHD and maybe autism. It’s a deeply uncomfortable time. Lust, however? Kink is a cheat code here. Shy people look *down* and spicy tickling is a speciality of mine. Tack catches Quill ogling him and dances barefoot with him. 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#SumLuv 4 Kena thinks she's cute right away. Mireia is annoyed by him at first, though I tried to imply a subconscious attraction through how detailed he's described in her POV. However, things go bad quickly when they're chosen as the new gods (which comes with the expectation of marriage).🧵1/2

“You don’t mind being told who you’re supposed to marry?” she asked pointedly. “Well ...” He gave her a cautious smile. “I think I’d have to be mad to say no to a girl as pretty as you.” Mireia bristled. “That’s all you care about? That I’m pretty?” Kena’s face fell. “No, I didn’t say tha—” “A’ure, Piper,” Mireia cut him off before he could say something to make her even angrier. “Let me make something very clear, before this goes any further. Just because they chose me as the Sea Mother doesn’t mean that I ... belong to you, or anything.” Kena chuckled uncomfortably. “Uh?” “I’m not going to fall in love with you. In fact, I really don’t want to be with you at all.” His chuckles had dissolved into a look of agitation. “Oh?” “But obviously I don’t have a choice. So we’re just going to have to try to get through all this as best we can.” “Get through what? Life?”

#AwesomeCharacters It might be Ashrah and some of her experiments. It might be Sareena doing... who knows what? It might be Mileena performing some drama. It might be Aphásiés punching something out of frustration (or whatever else). I'd probably be worried but also amused and curious.

Another #WIPSnips featuring Yrina, as she is directed to sabotage a risqué stage show playing at the theater near the carnival. Full disclosure, Gideon’s speech pattern is modeled after old-school Dr. Robotnik. 😉🤖 #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #Fantasy #Villains #WritingCommunity #SatAM

YRINA FLINCHED AT another gavel strike and nodded with resignation. “Of course, Gideon. I can lean on some of the girls and maybe warn them that they’ve got fans too eager for them to perform. They’re not all whores, you know.” “Close enough,” he spat. “To mimic the art of true theater in such a grotesque fashion – reducing the human complexity to ten minutes of animal rutting to the limp tones of some bullshit music box is, frankly, insulting. Never mind that the only difference between a ‘dancer’ and a ‘whore’ is that the dancer doesn’t know their price yet.” “Still,” she pressed through clenched teeth, “it might be enough to shake them.” “If that doesn’t work, tell Alister I’ll buy the fucking building and find a renter who can follow instructions. Shut the show down, Yrina. Are we clear?” She peeked around him, watching as the auction gavel banged again, but her curiosity was interrupted by the snap of Gideon’s fingers in her face. She looked at him and nodded again. “Yes. I’ll handle it, Gideon.”
