  • they/them

tabletop rpg obsessed, particularly lancer, icon, cain, the treacherous turn, eclipse phase, and pathfinder 2e. also a fan of the elder scrolls and star wars, an avid gamer and reader of webcomics, and when my brain cooperates, a hobbyist writer.

 

the urge to share my creations versus the horrifying ordeal of being perceived. fight of the millennium. anyway posts about my ocs are tagged with "mal's ocs" (minus the quotes). posts about or containing my writing are tagged with "mal's writing" (again, sans quotes). posts about my sci-fi setting specifically are tagged "the eating of names". i'd pin the latter two if they were actually among my top 15 most used tags lol. fair warning, my writing tends to be quite dark and deal with some heavy themes.

 

avatar is a much more humanoid depiction of my OC Arwen Tachht than is strictly accurate, made in this Picrew. (I have humanoidsonas for my non-humanoid OCs because I cannot draw them myself and must rely on dollmakers and such, hooray chronic pain)

whenever i see someone try to criticise worldbuilding as a practice, most are actually criticising the current and relatively recent trend of spinning off new works from existing already-popular fictional worlds championed by the disney/marvel blob, which is not so much worldbuilding as it is a cynical and risk-averse business plan specifically tailored to the current economic moment. the rest are usually reacting to the people above; having been convinced that worldbuilding is bad by someone gesturing at disney+ and saying "that's what worldbuilding is", they then find a way to redefine the term to exclude the things they like ("Dark Souls doesnt have worldbuilding, it has lore")
