aside from the fruit kingdoms using silk/silkworms for textiles since largely climate controlled buildings makes that easy
clever pecan
Im guessing with very flowery patterns and designs?
open bridge
Yep
clever pecan
Oooh, neat
Do you know what the other kingdoms use, animal hides, leaves, petals or something along those lines?
open bridge
not quite yet
but the moss kingdom probably takes after sloths and pride themselves on growing moss across their body and cultivating it's growth in stylish ways
clever pecan
Would they just be normal humans, or more akin to stone giants or dwarves or the like?
open bridge
probably closer to dwarfs/elementals yeah
clever pecan
Could also be treefolk
Neat
Would the moths then be sacred animals in the fruit kingdoms?
Or are they perhaps also food like in some places in Korea and China?
open bridge
possibly both
they can't sustain the population of moths without throwing everything out of wack so eating them isn't taboo but rather encouraged
open bridge
yup
every stage of their life is useful
clever pecan
Now Im imaginging them having string magic
... which is admitively a neat magic concept
open bridge
it could be fun yeah
thread magic is fun (and if you read black clover, incredibly overpowered)
clever pecan
Ok but in Black Clover paint magic is overpowered
open bridge
pretty much every magic in BC is overpowered if you know how to twist it right
fuckin compass magic
clever pecan
Classic
You still havent caught up on the manga have you?
And the anime hasnt returned yet either
open bridge
no
clever pecan
Dang
open bridge
i've been busy/not watching much anime
clever pecan
There is a scene Id love to reference here, but its quite a bit ahead
open bridge
I could have tried buying some of the manga at B&N before moving out of my school apartment but it wouldn't have been complete/everything i haven't seen yet
clever pecan
Fair
open bridge
I think the last time I went out of my way to watch anime was starting fire force
and between finals/starting off summer stuff just haven't had the spoons
also I'm a cheap ass sometimes so buying into the manga when idk where to pick up for it is rough
clever pecan
I mean I just read it when it comes out on mangaplus, so I pay nothing 
open bridge
fair enough
i'm really bad at managing time around my work shifts even if it is only part time
just bad at managing my time in general to not be floundering around all day
clever pecan
Big mood
Doesnt help that my anxiety prevents me from doing most anything I wanna do
open bridge
moooood
and lately I've been super fixated on finishing things
like, not in a good way
feeling like I can't start on something new/a game or something without finishing another
clever pecan
Oh I have that in general
But mostly because if I dont finish a game
Im not sure Ill pick it back up again
Tho rn my focus should be on being able to actually study properly again >.>
open bridge
i don't actually have that many "unfinished" games atm
just uhhh
subnautica below zero (I literally have everything I need to finish the game I just haven't done the ending because idfk, same thing happened with the first game and is the same sorta "I don't want this to end" anxiety I have about symphogear)
arguably Rayman legends despite having finished the main game and just have the postgame boss + pixel music stages to do
Dredge, which I could probably finish in like 2 hours if I really really tried
and uhhh
sonic adventure 2
i think that's it
clever pecan
Ive got MMBN2 and Astral Chain, and havent touched either in a month
open bridge
oh and mario + rabbids but for that I'm just stuck in a bastard of a mid boss
clever pecan
Anyway this is getting a wee bit off-topic
And I dont wanna push my problems on friends soo
What did you decide on as a system of government for fruit?
open bridge
probably something akin to a meritocracy where those who make the most important contributions/inventions are boosted higher up in the system
clever pecan
Oooh, I see
Would they then be the most scholarly of the nations besides the spore kingdom?
open bridge
yeah
they put their focus on knowledge towards the future, rather than understanding the past
clever pecan
So not very traditional for the most part
I guess the silkmoths provide a contrast then, in that they are somewhat traditional
open bridge
yeah
they are basically the one tradition they never forsake
since it can also be evolved and changed with the times
clever pecan
Makes sense
Maybe you could have them have some kind of grand tapestry that has symbolic meaning, being the "constitution" as it were, or something that presents the way forward
And have it be unwoven and rewoven every few years
Sorta "out with the old, in with the new", and to represent an ever-changing transition
And their policy of looking towards the future
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
And maybe you could even have a wildfire-themed faction that they view with distrust
Given how destructive fire would be to them specifically
open bridge
yeah
the wildfire people just don't care for anything but living in the moment, burning the past to feed the future/present
there was already the fire worship in the pinecone stuff, probably part/near the nut folk
clever pecan
Oh, a nice contrast in how the future is approached too
Enemies from similar circumstances
open bridge
they'd fully believe there is no point in caring about the future if you can't enjoy the present
clever pecan
Almost hedonistic
I guess they would also be fairly structureless then, more a commune than a proper group?
open bridge
Pretty much
clever pecan
Neat
Anyway, gotta go to sleep now, damn timezones
Worldbuilding continues to be fun however
open bridge
Yeah
clever pecan
Oh yeah, one more random idea: Would there be a faction focused around decay and withering?
Who are more about extracting all they can from nature
Rather than live in harmony with it
open bridge
Probably part of spore either very close to the grand mushroom or the furthest away possible
clever pecan
Oh, so like parasitic mushrooms (assuming those are a thing)?
open bridge
Moreso the ones that exclusively grow on things that are dead/focus exclusively on decomposing stuff
clever pecan
Oh, so rather than actively causing decay
They simply thrive in it
Essentially the recyclers of nature
So a more benevolent take on it
open bridge
Well
Until they run out of things that are currently decomposing
And decide to make things start decomposing
clever pecan
Ah
Overzealousness
I guess that also means they have to be kept in check by someone
open bridge
Part that, part paranoia of running out of things to work with
clever pecan
Mmh
Mushroom lich
Idk why but now I just thought of a mushroom lich and its kinda sick
Instead of a phylactery they have a mycelium that grows mushroom bodies that they can control via the roots
open bridge
Druid lich basically yeah
clever pecan
Destroying the body does nothing, you have to find the roots of them and destroy them
And hell maybe they can have multiple bodies at the same time
Actually I really like this concept ngl
Up to you if you wanna use it for terra flora
open bridge
Yeah it could work
Especially for if it becomes more of a TTRPG setting
Who doesn’t love a good ol “go kick that undead pricks ass” quest
I at least imagine people do, never gotten past session 1 of a TTRPG game before
clever pecan
Lichs are pretty classic high-level enemies yeah
Admitively I mostly know that through cultural osmosis
The one DnD campaign Im in is a homebrewed world focused on eldritch abominations
knotty ibex
open bridge
I really could always start working on wildlife if I get bored creating cultural stuff
open bridge
flower dragons would be cool yes

Oh, how about beetles whose shells look like flowerbuds
And when they open them up and reveal their wings, theyre little flower petals

Sooo
Random talk about Spiderverse in another server lead to me coming up with a spider-OC Im actually kinda happy with
Basic premise is, since the space-time continuum is often depicted as a kind of web or net
Their power is that they can affect that web in small ways
Pull something ahead 4 seconds, shift something slightly to the right, small disruptive stuff like that
And then I decided to lean into that trickster thing by having them be themed around Anansi and be a Ghanan Spiderman, whose secret identity is a comicbook writer/artist who follows the exploits of heroes (including himself) and collects them into comic books that he makes and sells
leaden ibex
Ayy I like that a lot. Last spiderverse talk I had lead to me getting the coolest fursona art yet lmao
Artist did my sona in Hobie's style
clever pecan
Sick
I liked this character a lot, I also found it cool that ||his colour scheme kept shifting to represent his anarchist beliefs||
Spoiling for Yami who is in this chat sometimes and hasnt seen the movie
leaden ibex
Oh yeah, Hobie was great
He both talked the talk and backed it up
I like that they ||set him up as a rival dating Gwen and then he's just the coolest dude||
clever pecan
||"Hobie you're not helping"
"Good"||
Also yeah ||I was happy that they basically faked out the love triangle thing and instead had him be Miles closest ally in the movie||
leaden ibex
||"Hobie you're not helping"
"Good"||
That's the quote I attached to my Tumblr post about it lmao
And yeah, ||Hobie is legit great||
clever pecan
But yeah, random spider-OC I came up with thats kinda sick
Especially because we dont have a Spider-man from Africa yet
(As far as I can tell)
So it'd be cool to have more people from across the world represented in the spider-man mythos
But if it were made into an actual character, you'd need to actually have a Ghanan advising you on it tbh
Like not every story would have to be uniquely Ghanan to explore how the nation they're living in and it's culture influences them, but there needs to be at least a couple
Also, another idea I had for a Spider-OC was a Spiderman who instead of fighting himself, uses webbing to puppeteer essentially spider-man puppets
Called "Spider-Mannequin"
As an idea for a Spider-Man who either can't fight himself or is too afraid to do so, but still wants to help

Wip Veda Karantha
clever pecan
@open bridge random Terra Flora idea, what if the coins are literally petals from magical flowers, rather than minted coins? And the flowers have the unique property that there can only be a certain number of petals around, and if that cap is reached, they never bloom?
That way their value is forever unchanging
And could be a neat thing for the seed kingdoms culture as a basis
open bridge
that's fuckin rad honestly
open bridge
given how important bees are to plants in general, they are prob super important anyways
clever pecan
Oh I got it
Carrier bees
Used for transporting letters and packages in the seed kingdom (they're big bees)
open bridge
big fluffy bees...
clever pecan
Maybe they're even considered sacred so even thieves won't touch them
clever pecan
big fluffy bees...
Exactly
No im totally not biased just because my digimon in Yamis campaign is in fact a big fluffy bee
open bridge
lmao
open bridge
i also wrote down the other day that nut kingdom mages are functionally muscle wizards, and only teach/are taught spells that are and i quote "approved by the emperor" (aka help reinforce the intended by the emperor image of the country) and for offensive spells are pretty much left to teach themselves
clever pecan
Oooh
All well and good until someone teaches himself meteor
Also by muscle wizard do you mean, buff wizards, or wizards using their muscles for magic?
open bridge
buff wizards
since not everyone can learn/wield magic as equally, the emperor deemed that combat is done mundanely, a way that allows for (at least percieved to be) a more even playing field
clever pecan
Ah, my favourite trope
The Fightlosopher
Their staves are mostly there to hit you with
Also is it harder to wield/learn magic in nut kingdom naturally, or is it a product of their culture?
open bridge
they have full on colleges and stuff for magic
but the actual teachings are pretty limited in width
clever pecan
Only that which is approved, which is defensive in nature?
open bridge
Defensive or restorative yeah
clever pecan
Makes sense
Does every nation actually approve of magic?
I remember you mentioned one as being distrustful towards ir
open bridge
None of them deny it exists
open bridge
Yeah, the desert dwelling fruit settlements
clever pecan
Ahhh, right
Are they separate from the seed kingdom? Or is it maybe just the flower kingdom and fruit kingdom instead of one seed kingdom
open bridge
It was fruit/berry as their own distinct thing
I don’t actually remember making space for an actual flower kingdom
clever pecan
Oh
No seed kingdom either I assume?
Because then im not sure where to place the coin flowers and bees
open bridge
The currently planned ones are Moss, Spore, Nut, Fruit, Cotton
Idk why I didn’t think of seed given that’s literally the theme of the kingdoms
clever pecan
Cotton being fluff I assume
open bridge
Yeah
open bridge
Grass is everywhere
Far too widespread to be a unified kingdom of sorts
clever pecan
Spore would be ironic given they're the subterranean-y guys
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
But yeah, if you do add a flower Kingdom, now you've got a basic premiss at least
Could also be a city-state though
Like a sort of flowery Venice
With Bees
clever pecan
I think you considered that being an algae kingdom initially, iirc
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
Also idk if you ended up using the idea of the continent itself being lilypad shaped
Also I did mean Venice more in thr connection to medieval banking than the water canals
open bridge
ye
clever pecan
Could also make for decent neutral grounds for cross-nation negotiations
Plus has potential for political intrigue since they technically have some control over everyone's money
And that would mean you could use surveillance bees
I just really like bees
Anyway think you'll use any of these ideas?
open bridge
honestly it's a neat idea but I am partly hesitant to make a single race/group of people be in mass control of the money
clever pecan
I ... just realised the possible connotations of that
Yeah thats fair
Could make it so they only oversee the production but not the flow, but fair
Or hell
Make it neutral ground where every nation sends representatives to oversee it
open bridge
no worries
hmm
i think I'll actually save stuff regarding the actual currency for after all the kingdoms are more or less fully baked so to speak
but I will put a note in this for later
open bridge

Mostly a pun but I realised, technically that is another form of plant propagation

@open bridge random Terra flora idea, what if the fluff kingdoms music primarily used "passive" music, i.e. music that is played without human input, just by the wind blowing, and what kind of music it is depends on the area
Like high up its rock formations carved to change the pitch of the wind
Whereas the ground settlements might have bamboo or trees cut in a way that they produce pleasant sounds
open bridge
Oh that’s kinda cool
clever pecan
Could also be stuff like bells
Or maybe rocks that grind against each other
Theres some interesting options

@open bridge random idea for Terra Flora again because for some reason I keep getting ideas, what if there was a flower bud-like weapon that you throw, which then blooms into a blossom and shoots out the petals as projectiles in an area around it
Basically a shrapnel grenade
But flower-y

Honestly if I find the time I might just think up a few plant-based weapons
Its kinda fun

Which of the nation would you say is the most militaristic while being less defense-focused like Nut
open bridge
Probably moss, they have the least to lose and the most easily defended settlements
clever pecan
Meaning smithery
Hmmm
I might actually do some weapon brainstorming for that if you dont mind, its kinda interesting
Not today because I need sleep, but in general
Oh in general that means "hidden" weapons fit them
... ok I actually am already having ideas lmao
open bridge
go right ahead yeah

Granted I still like the idea of the "Blades" I had with the grass themeing, but I can just choose to focus on different hidden weapons

i also imagined that the mossfolk tend to be pretty chill towards people who can reach their settlements without the help of magic/beasts of burden/vehicles
under their own strength and all that
open bridge
They are especially welcome
clever pecan
Also Im still trying to think of hidden weapons for them
The one idea I had came from that type of moss that can sprout these arrow-looking flowers
open bridge
Gotta grow what you don’t have the resources to make
clever pecan
Yep
And stuff like hidden arrows are fun
Maybe they even hide weapons in their beards
Because for some reason that sounds fun
Ooh, what if the stuff they forge has special, moss-like patterns
Kinda like damascus steel
open bridge
that'd be pretty cool yeah
clever pecan
Also would make any weapons they forged instantly recognisable
And a source of pride
And hell you could make it so those patterns make the weapons particularly good at channeling magic
Maybe its some kind of magic-adept material that is interspersed throughout the steel
And now, really stupid idea
Do they have a cryptid called "Mossman"
open bridge
lmao
clever pecan
Oooh, what if
They cut a bit of their beard
And used that when forging steel
And thats what gives it that pattern
open bridge
The latter is fine but appreciated either way lol
Also the reason that they hate the fluff people so much is because they just kinda drift with the wind rather than push against it and whatnot
open bridge
Probably not but that’s a funny idea
open bridge
Part of it is definitely that for the fluff people, wind is a bringer of prosperity and life, and for the moss people, it’s basically the opposite
clever pecan
Oh, because wind erodes the rock they live in and takes off the moss?
open bridge
Yeah, and can just blow people out of their homes to their potential deaths
(I say potential because they are sturdy motherfuckers)

The wind was the first thing to go in the book of grudges

Would their machinery inherently have thta old, overgrown look?
Like the golems in Laputa
open bridge
Yeah
Moss growing everything
open bridge
That’d honestly be rad
clever pecan
Ooh, moss-hidden traps
And trapdoors and hidden passages
They could be both smiths and eccentric inventors
Maybe even have multiple tribes of them depending on what they specialise in, and the nation is basically a council of the different tribes
One for each mountain
open bridge
yeah they will prob be the least united out of all the people/races

They bond over their shared grudges, but otherwise leave each other alone

@clever pecan imagining ancient, abandoned spore kingdom cities from when they were a supercivilization, now all thats left is dusty ruins and dried out husks of the people who once were
some say the husks move around when it rains heavily
clever pecan
Oooh
Thats a nice aesthetic
Would it also have like
Mushrooms growing everywhere
clever pecan
Hm
Would they mabye be underground
With the rain only getting in through cracks that have formed above
Or are you thinking theyre overground
open bridge
i imagine the most advanced ones would be underground, away from moisture yeah
but the ones are the surface are the most known
and where the more or less semi undead are
that are temporarily revived by huge amounts of water
clever pecan
Oooh
Hm
That also makes me wonder
What about the "hivemind" as it were in those cities
Are they just dead entirely
open bridge
probably more or less entirely cut off
clever pecan
Or is it now an autonomous Gestalt, cut off from the World Mushroom
open bridge
very little brain function left at all
clever pecan
And if so, are those Gestalts at all functional
Maybe one survived more than the others, but has gone mad through isolation
open bridge
could be a fun one-shot prompt
but I think for the most part any of these potential undead are functionally braindead
most of the places they exist in are probably desertified, possibly because of their own actions
clever pecan
Neat
On that note, I wonder, is the spore kingdom not as advanced anymore, and if so what was the cause
open bridge
yeah they are definitely not centuries ahead of the game like they were previously
this is both due to stuff like the above, and the other civilizations rapidly gaining ground
open bridge
pretty much yeah
as well as persistent knowledge of the cities exact location (maps exist but obviously the spore people prefer to not use tangible ones when they can just store the knowledge mentally)
clever pecan
Ooh
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
Does that mean the knowledge can in theory be recovered?
open bridge
in theory
the trouble is reaching the place and finding former inhabitants intact enough to commune with

So when I first introduced my MC's teammates into the story, I used neutral pronouns because MC didn't know their identities then. Now that he does, do you guys think I should change the pronouns to reflect MC's teammates' genders?

@clever pecan dragons but they breathe fire by igniting clouds of pollen
clever pecan
Thats kinda sick
Hell that could also give you dragons whose breaths have different effects
open bridge
yeah not all breathe fire
clever pecan
Maybe a species of dragon that's a herbivore could have paralysing spores
open bridge
but the ones that do do it by igniting their pollen
clever pecan
As they simply try to incapacitate would-be predators
(They would likely be smaller)
open bridge
most dragon species are probably gonna be flightless unless they got the brains for magic
just because
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
... would the pollen dragons be specifically flower dragons?
Oh wait
Random idea: Colony organism
open bridge
megafauna is rad yeah
clever pecan
Like what if the "dragon" is actually a collection of many smaller species of plants forming one colonial organism like the portuguese man'o'war
Oh no, better idea
open bridge
ohhh
clever pecan
What if real dragons exist
And then those also exist
Having evolved to imitate dragons
Essentially a "false" species
open bridge
oh that could be cool
in my doc i did sorta imply that this variety of dragon is more of a local thing
clever pecan
Yeah makes sense
And it sounds like a fun thing to have in the world
Like hyper-specialised mimicry
With magic™️ being the reason it came to be
clever pecan
What kinda environment are you thinking for pollen-breathing dragon btw
Dense vegetation
Or more barren mushroom-heavy area?
open bridge
think the lush caves from minecraft
open bridge
they carefully tend to the plants near the mouths of their lairs to ensure their fire doesn't burn down their territory
clever pecan
And perhaps the plants are more fire-resistant than normal
Having adapted to the dragon
And as such are also valued for exactly those properties
open bridge
the ones inside the caves of absolutely ancient specimens for sure
clever pecan
Like a way to basically get fire-resistant armour
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
Homegrown insulation
open bridge
leaf mail
clever pecan
Oh and to ensure that the material is rare and valuable, what if it can only grow in such a dragon cave
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
That the conditions are otherwise just not suitable
And thats also why the dragons arent generally attacked
Because if the dragons go, the plants go too
open bridge
properly fireproof plants are only found within caves that have been inhabited for at least a century
clever pecan
Could maybe even lead to the dragons being a kind of holy species for the local cultures
Like a symbolic guardian
open bridge
yeah
these dragons don't have quite the capacity for thought as actual ones do
but they are very easily distracted with food
clever pecan
Oh I had a fun idea
What if there is one, particularly old dragon
Whose cave is so old and so deep, that the roots of the world mushroom have reached it
And through being near it for so long, that particular dragon has gained sapience
open bridge
probably hasn't surfaced in so long it's lair has become sealed off from the outside world
clever pecan
To the point where there are only vague myths about this dragon?
And if people ever would find it, they would find an old, wise, yet very slow dragon
open bridge
to the point it's barely even mentioned by the mushroom superciv
clever pecan
Almost lethargic through its long life
But curious about the newcomers
Ok so basically I have just created a potential questhook
open bridge
possibly some prophecies about it fully awakening heralding some kind of great disaster
clever pecan
possibly some prophecies about it fully awakening heralding some kind of great d...
And/or being the saviour from said disaster
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
Also while the dragon looks scary, partially mushroom-ised, massive and imposing
The dragon is not evil
Instead just curious and helpful
open bridge
yup
open bridge
also completely blind
possibly to the point of it's eyeballs having rotted away
clever pecan
also completely blind
possibly to the point of it's eyeballs having rotted away
Oh what if it has like, large mushroom colonies where the eyes once were
Or maybe one half is full of mushrooms
And the other has a small plant culture in it
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
With lots of flowers
open bridge
the mushroom eye is full of glowing fungus
and that's the only way it's really visible
clever pecan
You just see some glowing fungi in what seems to be a little indent
And as you get closer
You can barely hear the wind blowing
But youre curious, its so deep under the earth, how is wind blowing here
And then you see it move
open bridge
it's breath is also probably either like
lethally toxic
or so rank that if it gets on you
it's never coming off
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
If its lush caves, would it be the moss peoples territory then, or do you think its maybe closer to the central overworld locations of the sporepeople?
open bridge
well the lush caves are definitely in swampy jungle areas
But this ancient dragon has probably been sealed off for so long plant life can't really exist
clever pecan
Would plant life not exist at all, or would it have adapted to its new environment?
Maybe plants that use bioluminescent light to substitute sunlight?
Giving them particularly strange colours
open bridge
it would probably be predatory plants that scavenge off anything that comes off the dragon itself, or rats/bugs that find their way down
clever pecan
Oooh
I guess the other question is, is there any water in the dragons cave
Like a little spring from a reservoir above?
open bridge
probably yeah
and maybe it causes earthquakes stomping around trying to find underground resovoirs too
clever pecan
Oh
That could maybe be tied into local superstitions
And mislead beliefs like there being an underground volcano in the area
open bridge
yeah
clever pecan
Neat
Ok but I have to go to bed now, its late for me
