I just want the universe to know I've written 23k+ words in less than a week after a drought of nothing for months 🤘 Is it fanfiction? Yes. Am I having fun? Yes. I'm trying to take my small wins where I can get them ♡

As an Australian, I concur 💀 they are terrifying 😭 but I adore them as a concept, so I can still write about them yay! XD

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 4/1: Something terrifying in my world? Well I suppose that is subjective, but my plotline does involve giant spider-style creatures that are terrifying, deadly, and used for meat in a pinch if you can't find anything else to eat.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 3/1: Something grand or majestic in my world? Probably the Ice Lands. It's something I'd like to develop further some other time (atm they're kinda like an expansion pack for funsies lmao in a TTRPG) But yeah, the whole place is basically made of ice, but completely livable!

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 2/1: Something I intend to keep a mystery from the reader? Well that's difficult because honestly, naming it would mean its less mysterious :P Nah, the mastermind behind most events across my timeline, they'll probably stay mysterious overall for a long while... maybe ><

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Hey guys I made it back, and just in time - I think? I'm Mechkura/Ash and I run The Dicepool Tavern! I create multiple worlds, usually contactable somehow alongside one another but currently my focus is on #Vethera. It is a world similar to Earth, but not quite the same.

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner.

I've started this but I wanna restart it. With my incredibly busy schedule this week of both work shifts and personal events/Christmas Prep, I fully expect DRA to be late over the next two weeks. Just a heads up :)

The Dicepool Tavern @thedicepooltavern.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I need to do more out there things, reaching out and committing and what not. Balancing that with not over committing though, also an important thing I'm working on!

The Dicepool Tavern @thedicepooltavern.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Living with the anxiety of "will I get an answer or won't I? Did they see it? Did their email think I was just spam? Are there bigger plans at play that I am too small a fry to know of being in the works already?" Have been somewhat driving me up a wall, but I will survive 🥰

The Dicepool Tavern @thedicepooltavern.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

So I did a thing. I thought it was a great cool idea (and honestly I still find it very enjoyable to muse on!) But I don't think anything will come of it. And that's okay! Even if it's briefly glimpsed by the people I sent it to, then I can rest knowing I've shown that I support their craft ♡

Definitely a good alternative! I think I went with proudly exclaimed for the moment though 🤔 it's supposed to be a positive force visually screaming against the dark sights and sounds, but uh, when there are literal screams involved I didn't wanna overuse the word xD

Welcome to the first week of #DecemberWorldbuilders! This week is about SCIENCE (broadly speaking) (you can play along even if you're writing pre-industrial fantasy!) Today's Q: Can anyone in your world participate in scientific research? Or is it reserved for elites?

#NovemberWorldbuilders 23/11: I have so many without names that it's hard for me to not constantly reshare the few I do have xD so I'm going to go with Leonis, because he doesn't make it into the Modern age, which is 1-2 thousand years before my major stories start up again.

The next line is; There was a small circle in the centre, like an area for offerings, whilst the four elements had their own designated circles outside of that, in line with their respective directions. If nothing else could be said for it, this place certainly gave off magical vibes.

#WIPSnips 22/11: Crystal -> Gem -> Stone Upon the circular stone embedded into the ground was the same diagram as the one in the Vance study, except the outer ring was decorated with leaf-shaped flame carvings, giving the impression of a badly scaled sunflower in some ways. - #WitchChild
