#TimeTravelAuthors 7 #TheDragonblood Then he turns into me. I wince a little in #embarrassment seeing my own face staring back at me, with my blue eyes, stubble and messy short blond hair. And the resonance I hear from him is dull, nondescript. Even the magic items I've seen have SOME personality.

#JuneWorldbuilders 14 #ThroughTheCracks: The rise in AI after the Third AI Winter brought about an art movement focused on doing it yourself by hand. Many old handicrafts were revived, such as hand-spinning, hand-stitching, basket weaving, paper making and blacksmithing.

#Juniplex 7 #TheDragonblood: The main divisions in the Defenders of Fate are seers and assassins. And in preparation for tomorrow, I'll add proselyters; more on them tomorrow. I may add more if I think I'm missing something.

#AwesomeCharacters #TheDragonblood: Felix thinks a plan would sure be nice. But they can't seem to come up with one. And even when they have one, in the heat of the moment, it often just seems to slip their mind and they end up improvising anyway. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#Conlangity 6 #TheDragonblood: I do know the expressions for Nemorian. The usual Nemorian formal greeting translates to "I am trustworthy", because they can usually tell when others are lying, so if they're not trustworthy, their auras would immediately give them away. bsky.app/profile/prof...

#JuneWorldbuilders 13 #TheDragonblood: I hadn't specifically planned for Deiuoreks to ban art, say, depicting the Nemorian gods in unflattering ways, but he could be the type. I'll need to think on it. Gnaramater is goddess of knowledge.

#Juniplex 6 #TheDragonblood: The Defenders of Fate are one of those scary things parents tell their children about in bedtime stories. Maybe slightly older children than the ones you'd tell stories to simply to convince them to behave and eat their vegetables.

#AwesomeCharacters #TheDragonblood: One thing about Laannig I'm pretty sure you'll relate to is that he thinks the Nemorian gods are manipulative tyrannical assholes. Of course, Laannig does believe in his own set of gods. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#JuneWorldbuilders 12 #TheDragonblood: I mentioned Aimetor's sculpting yesterday, but they also do fashion design and artistic body modification, and they'll also take up acting. So Aimetor is an artist in many ways.

#TimeTravelAuthors 5 #TheDragonblood: Felix may get to witness important events in Nemoria. Possibly, the kidnapping of Zonhiska and/or parts of the First Akewan War.

#Conlangity 5 #TheDragonblood: Draconoidic formed when Petanata, the first dragon, tried to speak Nemorian, and replaced sounds with ones they could make. Petanata's Dragonblood parent may also have occasionally tried to speak and teach Nemorian in dragon form and made similar substitutions.

#Juniplex 5 #TheDragonblood: Depending on how you look at it, the main opponent of the Defenders of Fate is either people who would mess with time in irreconcilable ways, or fate itself. And it may seem strange that the so-called Defenders of Fate would be fighting AGAINST fate.

#AwesomeCharacters #TheDragonblood: Currently, Felix lives in a rented flat in Cambridge with some flatmates they've probably never exchanged words with. Outside the school year, Felix lives with their nebulous family which I seriously need to build. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#OctoberWorldbuilders 4 #TheDragonblood: The flora and fauna of Kumat largely resembles that of Egypt. Apparently in our world, changes to Egypt's climate have made some species, such as papyrus reeds, hippos and crocodiles, less plentiful than they used to be.

#JuneWorldbuilders 11 #TheDragonblood: There is plenty of beautiful architecture in Nemoria. The temples of the gods are often pretty stunning, although Amfrobena prefers her temple to be very disorganised gardens, and Anamuortus's temples only exist virtually.

miwwdu sitsom🫜 (they/them) @miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

#Conlangity 4 #TheDragonblood: Draconoidic is a tonal language. Common Draconoidic has three tones: high tone (á), mid tone (a) and low tone (à). High tone arises from a historical voiceless lateral in the onset of a syllable (originating from Nemorian t or k).

#Juniplex 4 #TheDragonblood: Fenzetor is the god of fate. He wouldn't typically be associated with strife, but is certainly associated with the Defenders of Fate, and the strife they are allegedly trying to defend from.

#AwesomeCharacters Skylar! That answers most of the questions. Is everyone on board? Felix isn't great at social events, but will come and hang in the corner. Aimetor might hang out with people, but wouldn't be the main talker. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Let's give this its own post. I wrote some tentative lyrics for The Antipatriotic Song, the unofficial anthem of the ALCEFS, an anarcho-communist society in #ThroughTheCracks. Any critique you have is welcome! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Song #Music #Lyrics #AnCom #Anarchism

The Antipatriotic Song

Be not patriotic!
Hold not your homeland high.
’Twould be idiotic
To, for your nation, die.

No one land is flawless;
Think not that yours could be.
To unearth your solace,
An open mind is key.

If you love your nation,
Love it not as it stands.
Give not to stagnation,
Ever improve your lands!

Do not stop at borders!
One people are we all.
Let all share your quarters,
Heed every comrade’s call!

#OctoberWorldbuilders 3 #TheDragonblood: Kumat is famous for the enormous Pyramids of Ḫawyafwiy, Ḫaʿfriʿuw and Mankuʾawriʿuw, and the Great Sphinx (whose original name is lost to time in our world, so I will have to invent something for mine).

I suddenly pick out a magical resonance in the distance. I look in that direction but see nothing. It sounds sort of like a soul, but… off, somehow. Not a pleasing sound.
“What’s that magic coming from over there?” I ask.
Aimetor frowns. “Ghost, maybe? Hopefully not a…”
Aimetor curses in Nemorian, and I can hear the terror in their aura.
“Essōr anămōm!” Aimetor shouts.
The mage starts to respond, then stops and turns to the invisible source of magic in alarm. The two non-mages turn around as well, looking around in confusion. Kalai looks to be freaking out.
“Er, Alios?” I whisper.
“Right,” Alios’ voice says after a second. “Brr. Soul Devourer.”
‘We did not bring it here!’ Kalai shouts, regaining composure.
‘Nor us,’ the mage replies. ‘Foroug’s sword can destroy Soul Devourers. I did not know that particular enchantment would come in handy.’
‘Strike true, or it will drain the sword’s magic and likely break the enchantment,’ Kalai warns. ‘I can control it from a distance; Iubiugra will guide our strike.’
‘We are not giving the sword to a stranger!’ the mage says. ‘I have this.’
They ask their companion for the sword, most likely in Akewan, because Alios doesn’t translate. They then start levitating the sword and send it in the direction of the Soul Devourer.
‘A little farther!’ Kalai calls. ‘No, too much!’
The sword suddenly drops to the ground.
“What just happened?” I whisper.
“It cut the thread,” Alios responds. I make a questioning sound, confused, and Alios continues. “The magical thread connecting the sword to… No time. Ask me later.”
The mage talks to the little one in camo, who takes off the belt of magical supplies and runs off after the sword.
‘You need someone who can sense the spirit. Someone without a soul to risk.’ Aimetor gestures at me. ‘It has to be this one.’
Aimetor turns to me. “Felix, you must be the one to deal with it. It will sap your magic if it touches you, but it cannot eat your soul because you have none.”

With a pained expression in his eyes, the doctor picks up the gun from the table.
I hear the muffled pow of a gunshot as he turns around and shoots Gem in the chest. She sits there in confusion for a moment or two, unmoving and bleeding out.
My vision is very blurry now, and I feel on the brink of death. I try to think through the brain fog.
If I’m going to die, then so be it, but I won’t just lie here while this psycho doctor shoots people. Adrenaline now coursing through my body, I rip out the tube attached to my arm. Gem slowly turns to lie face down on the bed right beside me. I reach for her, but my arm seems to pass right through her and I roll over onto my stomach.
For a moment I wonder if she vanished, but no, she’s just on the other side of me. I painfully push myself up and reposition myself to be sitting on the side of the bed. I stare as the pool of blood from where she was shot trickles upward towards me, towards the wound in my chest. What is going on?
The doctor sets something down that emits a dim glow, and points the gun at me. I hear a whap as something tugs me forward. I feel searing pain for a moment, and then nothing. The blood on my chest is gone and even my dress looks intact. How – ?
The doctor places the gun on the table once more. Once I get over the shock of what just happened, I get up and hobble over to the table. I pick up the gun and inspect it closely. It just looks like a regular gun. But somehow… it healed me? He sacrificed my sister to save me? However he did it, that’s awful!

#OctoberWorldbuilders 2 #TheDragonblood: All I've worked out about Kumat so far is the ways it is like Ancient Egypt, and not yet the things that make it different. The language is going to be a descendant of Ancient Egyptian, with a writing system based on/descended from hieroglyphics.

#JuneWorldbuilders 8 Since it's June now, let's get started on these questions! I have nothing much that could be described as angels or demons in any of my current works (they might exist in #MiwwduSitsomSelkieWIP, but I have nothing developed), so let's go straight into Week 2.

#OctoberWorldbuilders 1 #TheDragonblood: The magical world is an alt-Earth with more or less the same deserts as Earth, but not necessarily the same names. Kumat is located in the T'ašrat Desert, through which flows the Yatraw River, the longest river in the world.

#Conlangity 1 #TheDragonblood: This month, we're doing the language spoken by dragons and wyverns. Last year, I decided to give it the name of Draconian to have something to refer to it by. Now, I'm also considering Draconoidic or something along those lines. Any preferences?

Question for @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social (but I suppose if anyone else sees this and wants to consider it a general writing prompt, go ahead). Do you consider the gods of your world to be "real" gods (whatever that means to you)?

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 30 Time travel is one of my favourite tropes, but I can get picky about it. Broadly speaking, in fantasy, I love worlds that feel properly otherworldly, with elements that are just completely unlike our world, that to the people of the world are just the norm.

#Septopolis 30 Thank you @khonri.com, this was a lot of fun, once again, and I learned a lot! I started out with only the vague idea that a flying city existed in Nemoria and a recently acquired name, and now I have a solid idea of what sort of place this is, and even got myself to make some art!
