dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

In my grimdark classpunk setting, oppressed classes of people such as "frau" and "arbeiter" attempt to organize a social revolution but fail to realize that the ruling class has a form of dark illusory magic that disguises social processes as objective physical reality.

I've been thinking about world building a lot recently. My first thoughts did sort of run along these lines. Characters were definitely not a consideration

I really enjoy creating my own settings and doing worldbuilding. However, I don't really care for classical storytelling like you see in novels. I don't want to write a story about the hero's journey. I would rather spend my time inventing myths and the history of places that will never be.

Sure, there are characters in my worldbuilding, but they are not the focus of it, even the super important ones.

At least one book of Wheel of Time was created exactly like that, but i don't think author even got to the 2nd point there.
