The whole Trans Pumpkin Discourse is wild to me. Cis women have been openly joking about cucumbers for at decades at least, and 🍆 is a ubiquitous euphemism for dick. There is no possibly explanation other than people being openly disgusted by trans women’s sexuality.

Really “speaking out” is for bigger accounts with platforms. They do it when it’s safe, but need to do it when it *counts* more. Smaller accounts need to keep their heads down or organize to protect themselves, because no big vtuber EVER does anything to reel in their followers.

The current conception of "lore" is a post-Soulslike invention. Before Dark Souls, the word "lore" was not in my everyday vocabulary. When I was in a masters-level writing program with published authors, the word "lore" was never once uttered in a workshop.

Then one day while talking to a writer working on the story for a game (one some of you might have actually heard of), in discussing their writing style, made a distinction between "background" and "lore." Up until that point, "lore" was just a synonym mostly used by Gamers.

"Setting" has two meaning. The most common meaning in this environment was the time and place that the story itself takes place in. It is something contained mostly within the text itself. It is both explicit and implied. "Worldbuilding" is the construction of that setting.

But "setting" can also mean the broader world or "universe" that a story takes place in, which may be almost entirely outside the text. Lots of writers, especially in SF/F, put multiple stories in the same universe. Most of my stories are in the same universe.

The other day I said I was glad that I could finally feel motions, positive and negative. But sometimes I wish I could just be numb again. Sometimes these emotions feel like they're impossible for me to handle.

@drmistercody Considering the big plot twist of the sequels/the inciting incident for Rise of Skywalker happened in a limited-time Fortnite event, I’d say this is technically an improvement.

The result is people like this, who believe having gaps of any sort of your storytelling is a bad thing. There MUST be lore. Everything MUST be explained somewhere, even if it's in an appendix at the back of the book. There can be no ambiguity, no mystery, no interpretation.

It's easy enough to say that the setting of the story is Woden, in the sense that stories set in the modern day are also set on Earth. But *the whole planet* isn't usually the actual setting, is it? For a story taking place entirely in Chicago, Tibet is not a part of its setting.

Hey I don’t know if it needs to be said but I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time right now, and it’s in large part because @benjanun_s played a huge role in cracking my egg (possibly deliberately, I couldn’t quite tell 😭)

@theserfstv Going by this definition, it's actually been here for a long time...
