They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

This occurs ~3,000 years before my first stories, and led eventually to the imperial cult prevailing in the Empire at the time of the first novels. With fire comes industry, though, and we'll see how changing modes of production complicate things politically. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Septopolis

What this should prompt is a thorough reflection of what the label “criminal” actually means to the government versus what people think it means. Because people think it means “violent felon” but the reality is if you got a traffic violation you are in the system.

Kel stops by the karlek Baltigai's farm after disposing of the sacred bug he accidentally killed. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amwriting #fantasy #darkfantasy #weirdfiction
I had nearly made my way past the mushroom fields and food clutches that ring the settlement’s southern void by the time I realized she had not followed—and that I had left my canteen behind. Near the edge of a potato field I found a squat trough of water leaned against a row of stunted grapevines, one of Baltigai’s failed experiments. I paused to drink and stripped to wipe the dust and guilt from my body under the glow of a flickering lifelamp. At the time I could not recognize it for what it was: a simulacrum of the twilit glow that late autumn rainclouds give to Raylian pastures.

In other cultures the emphasis is on conserving food and minimizing waste through the long months of frost. But in Rama, thanks to the ancient alchemy 1/3 #SeptemberWorldbuilders

Annual glacial melt from the nearby glacier provides a source of drinking water and floodwater for the surrounding fields. But not nearly enough to maintain a year-round settlement. Most human settlements as far north as Rama are seasonal, 1/ #Septopolis #Writesky #Writingcommunity

Civil conflict was nothing new even in 1861. But I was thinking of the Battle of Blair Mountain. The airplane was around for less than 20 years before the US Army was using it to kill American citizens. From MOVE to Nawar al-Awlaki, they haven't stopped.

(There is some astronomy math to be checked and corrected here, obvs.) Built into a glacial valley, Rama serves as a fortress against the cold, warmed by the eternal flame that was lit thousands of years ago and powers the city's ever-developing industry. #Septopolis #Writesky #Writingcommunity

As mentioned above, the planet is at about a 45-degree tilt relative to its sun, so the Arctic/Antarctic zones are quite larger than on our Earth. Rama is well within the Arctic circle, though, probably roughly at the latitude of Iceland, and sees 2-3 months of polar day/night per year. #Septopolis

Physically it's modeled on some of the places I attached photos of above: mostly the more heavily glaciated areas of the Alps, and the farther-flung Norse settlements (Reykjavik probably the closest in scale, tho Rama is much larger and not coastal). #Septopolis #Writesky #WritingCommunity

The culture of Rama was originally inspired by the Fire Nation from A:TLA, though I like to think it has become more distinct with each iteration of the story through my campaigns (arctic instead of tropical, mechano-scientific rather than theocratic, etc.). #Septopolis #Writesky #WritingCommunity

The sunrise wasn’t visible from the wharf. It faced south, the Sulfur Cliffs standing east, but dawn’s lazy velvet light crept over the bluffs and stretched across the water. Port Pell was yawning to life, the brief respite of the small hours spent, and a red ship was docked at its largest pier.
Arin breathed in the briny air. A gull called over the horizon. But her tired eyes closed with the lift of her chin as she inhaled.

Another snip from Riyana's short story (going out on sub today or tomorrow). #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amwriting #fantasy #darkfantasy #weirdfiction
We talked for long hours about the war, and the rumors that emeralds had been found to the west, some larger than a newborn aurochs. I was tired by the time the subject turned to you, and I was subjected to that grasping curiosity that those pregnant must endure. The “How far along are you?” and the impertinent questioning of gender. I stretched myself out on the couch while your father threw open the back door to the brisk twilight air.
He told us a story then, or rather, several stories, of his last assignment. I have certainly forgotten or distorted many of their details over time, though it was not even a decade ago. Many more, to be sure, were lost and changed in the same way in your father's memory. In the north they have a saying about death, and about remembrance: In time we each become the lies of others.
