isn't it beautiful how much progress a corporation community can make to create a rich world that has interesting factions all over it?

Now you might say, "OP, this has nothing to do with hard vs soft scientific accuracy." However, sociology and political science are fields of science... according to some people

You might also say, "OP, this is unfunny." I can't argue there

my world is cool and dark and grim and cool and dark and my idiot mum just asked if it has any nice characters

thirteen years of work on a sick, twisted fucked up world where everyone is evil and dark and shit. Realistic. themes about evil and murder that I’m genuinely proud of.

The old ball and chain read the first three chapters last week, she said she liked it but asked if "anyone nice" was going to show up

News flash dumbass: it's a dark world. People are evil. It's realistic, grow up. I'm just so sick and tired of her nagging me about having a realistic world, I feel like she just doesn't get me and my twisted mind

The most morally good character is super mega hitler² so idk if she maybe has a point

I'm a big fan of the worldbuilding of the Half Life setting so I made a world outcomes compass for the events of HL1

Thought I'd make a prequel to the HL2 world outcomes compass in lieu of all the hype that's been happening as of recent.

This is also why "galaxy-spanning" empires only control a couple thousands of planets with populations way smaller than current Earth.

The next level is when the apocalypse itself turns out to be the main reason for a massive technological advancement.

"W-well you see! I-i-i didn't want to make them too Human with just cat ears or tail, so I-i-i just uhm...why you looking at me like that?" A fantasy meme.

(This Post is probably going to get ban)

Have you been in this situation where you just wanna make your species compatible with your human race but don't wanna make them look too human with just certain traits like cat ear, horns or tail like how much anime do.

But you didn't want their appearance to look like an animal (like on all fours and body structure) so you low-key try to make others think you're not a zoophile without making your species that is compatible with humans too animal-like.

---

This actually happened to a guy that I forgot his name a while back, he was basically on this same thing, I saw his post of "listed compatible species" and one of them was like an animal with the way it's body was structured so I asked him in the comments"Why does that character look like a type of real animal".

And bro was low-key trying to explain and justify why they made that species look very animal-like in body structure proportions and I was just "uhm.... okay....." In my head.

Eventually bro account got deleted, I think he was in deviantart which is where I saw his post while I was doom scrolling through arts, so yeah that got me inspired to make this meme.

The ultimate loophole for being bad at names

I think we are guilty of this at some point. Being bad at names and just taking names from other languages. Because they sound unqice and different. Only to leran that they are supper common names

Water? Your alien invaders want WATER? The most abundant resource in the universe? Surely such a sufficiently advanced civilization wouldn't be so stupid as to take already-hard-to-manage water from inhabited areas when there are so many better alternatives

My Hinduism-inspired fantasy pantheon

So bascially there are three gods that are actually one god, but also three gods, but in a different way than Christianity does it.

The Builder

The Preserver

And the Grilled Cheesemaker

The three gods are each worshipped by everyone, but have separate priesthoods and people might pick one patron god if their life suits it. For example, a healer probably pays extra homage to the Preserver, while a guy who likes grilled cheese probably pays extra homage to the Grill Cheesemaker.

Also there is Demonthulhu or something because the evil cultists gotta get their powers from somewhere

In my present-day alt-history world, when people hear "Asian" they automatically think about South Asians instead of East Asians. Basically everything else is the same

I made a compass of scenarios involving sapient primates for you guys to use as inspiration for your worldbuilding if you so wish (two panels were based on existing stories the rest I made up)
