my favorite form of worldbuilding is when you seemingly avoid bloated sci-fi thesaurus syndrome by filling your setting with mundane Earth things like chess and alligators
and then casually have a character complain that they can’t play chess anymore because they outgrew their safety gear, or mention that the alligators in the moat outside have matted fur
stories about free will vs. fate where the characters tragically cannot avoid their doom regardless of what they try because there are forces at work greater than they know and they are not in control of the narrative: yes
stories about free will vs. fate where the characters overcome and survive the doomed path laid out for them by fighting back against the narrative until it lets them forge a new story in their own hand: yes
stories about free will vs. fate where the characters don’t escape their doom but meet it in their own way, defying all expectations of them and refusing to go out on someone else’s terms, meaning that they win anyway: ARJFHGFGHDDFJGFDHFLFHLKGR;FUCK
i love you betrayals between people who still love each other i love you devotion to the point of destruction i love you selfish choices made in the name of love i love you devastating consequences of those choices
Eternal Flame Falls sounds like the coolest concept for a fantasy book. A path you follow down into a ravine until you find an ever-burning flame inside of a waterfall? That’s fuckin metal! But it’s not in a fantasy book it’s like an hour away from my house I can literally go see it any time! I remember it like once a month and lose my shit over it every time
Look at this. Tell me this isn’t the basis for a cool religion in an epic fantasy novel.
OP whats it called? Do you know how it works??
It’s called Eternal Flame Falls, in Orchard Park in western New York. 400 feet below the surface is a 400-million-year old shale formation that contains natural gas, and the grotto contains a leak where that gas is escaping. The flame can and does go out, but the gas can be re-lit with a lighter like a gas stove. It’s super, super cool from both an aesthetic and a geologic perspective!
Oh so dark souls is just real okay
