Cuz they didnt have a word for purple when they were named?
Thats at least why "violets are blue" anyhow.
... wrong with her, so we'll just pretend to her face that shes perfectly normal, but we ALL KNOW she's handicapped, poor thing."
God, fuck, damn.
This is, like, a whole thing for me.
Stemming from the trauma of being shunted into a special-ed class as a kid without ever being told how or why I was different than "mainstream" kids...
To this day, I feel like people are like "Oh, she's too dimwitted to understand what is...
Both.
It's a much easier entry point to start from known ground. Things go faster and are easier to understand quickly.
But I do love speculating and what-if-ing my way through creating new cultures and territories.
I write contemporary and sci-fi/fantasy.
Lolol!
Fair point!
Throwback Wednesday (cuz Im off tomorrow) #writingq!
🎵🎶Shuffle/playthrough!🎧
Is your character the type to put their favorite music on shuffle?
Or do they prefer to hear it in the album order as the artist intended?
Or do they make a Playlist of their own design?

Lol, Ill get, like, a capital R and a lowercase r side by side in words like "corRecT" and I feel like I look like a psychopath😅🤣
I do that thing where capital letters appear randomly in the middle of words and I always wonder what Reid from Criminal Minds would say about me.😅
(Besides "Wow. Can anyone read that?")
(And I'd answer, "Um... I can't remember what that was supposed to be.")
But, hm... let me ponder leather a bit. Cuz they'll have a fair share of that.
I can picture a certain amount of leather in technical clothing, as door curtains between areas, furniture...
I suspect I need to consider leather more in my general settings and clothing.🤔
Not overboard though.
... approach, so everything does get used or turned into something else, even if that's just vermiculture matrix.
It occurs to me that plant fibers, nut husks etc might make decent material for water and air filters, as could the sand pulled out with whatever ores they are mining.
... as much about where thats used. I do know that there is a ban on large-scale leather processing on ag worlds, so frozen hide is usually shipped to stations (likely other prisons, not Merlin's Hill specifically), or less ag worlds.
For crops and meat, they definitely have a "whole animal"...

I know little about agricultural byproducts. Im assuming most of that kind of thing can be converted into animal feed or even building material.
The byproducts of the meat industry? Well, manure is highly valued as fertilizer. Leather is big business, though I have not thought-

Well, the one beta who half-finished the erotica told me she'd kill anyone who tried to hurt the MMC, so, it was nice to hear he came through.
... manage the herds.
Sled-dogs are quite popular in the colder regions all across the galaxies, though some cultures prefer snowmobiles and others favor the dogs.
You might get other cases of large dogs acting as pack animals in mountainous or jungle regions, too.
The mining folk of the Vivinc Mts on Excalibur are known to prefer horses for transport due to the treacherous terrain, and the richies on that world like them for leisure and status.
Excalibur is the only planet with horses.
On Avalon, the reindeer herdsfolk ride the beasts themselves to help...
#MarchWorldbuilders
Horsies!
My space-folk did somehow keep some horses alive through the cataclysm and diaspora!
I dont know enough about horses or breeds to get in depth about that (like I did with roses😅) but there are some hard working pack-horses, and some more showy breeds...

Helena, Jim the Dragon (now in Real Dragon Form™️!!), and their guide, the angel Serasthial, get taken to a village of imps.
I dunno. Maybe this is the kind of thing that warmed my betas to Jim.
You will never find a more joyful performer on the planet. Love her to death!

How I flirt…
... on occasion. More often, he's happily dreaming up a cool future. But usually, he's just working through a problem.
...mulling over case details, but occasionally lets herself wonder what-if something nice happened.
Nora does vividly daydream. About her past, about what she wants, and sometimes (by accident) what she doesn't want to want.🥵
Bayle is less in his imagination, but he still pictures the past vividly
... own failures or bad luck. When her mind wanders, it's usually imagining things she misses or regrets.
Talia is not really a daydreamer, but like my other investigative types, she has a good head for picturing what happened based on what she sees. She spends a lot of time in her head, usually...
... future without entertaining other ideas, but if you tell her a story, she is immediately right there in it.
Helena... oof. Her poor brain is so fogged with depression symptoms that its hard to say. Shes very internal, but it's less daydreaming and more replaying the past and chastising her...
...This serves him well on investigations and in his handling of people.
He also does have a vivid imagination for what-ifs and strange flights of fancy, but he tries to avoid those that arent useful.
Charlie is mired in her past and replays it often, and tends to make a single guess about the...

This is a tricky, nuance, a d good question!
Jack's imaginativeness usually takes the form of imagining how other people have or will behave. He likes to dream up what a person did so he can track their motives etc, and loves to rehearse conversations in his head...

On the upside, I did get to waste some time today writing two of the 'cool' scenes I had envisioned for this #Mudlarks story.
Back to back.
We've got a Charlie nightmare and then a rather absurd Jack song and dance🥰
