Officially an Earthling, creative in several ways and possibly out of the box (is there even one?), might use English, Dutch and other languages. Beware!
Human rights and the golden rule are a minimum!
All social constructs might need deconstruction...
For #NovemberWorldbuilders
There's no clear villains in the Pyra and Ronan story, just bullies and irritating people and the like. Most of them have in common that they follow the 'traditional morality' of their culture (Nation or Héva) and are also empathyless and cruel, often in petty ways.
Hey there, #NovemberWorldbuilders! It's GOOD and EVIL week. Today, tell me about the ethics/morals of your VILLAIN. If you don't have one of those, talk about another character, particularly one who might deviate from protagonist's moral philosophy

No, the usual sort of misunderstanding in this sort of 'take it off' conversation isn't even on the radar for Ronan, but getting a bit of a panic attack when you accidentally arrive in the land where men don't exist is... Maybe the Planetary Council shirt works.

Heavy linguistics here for #ConlangNovember, but all languages I know (including toki pona) have nominative-accusative alignment, and so does Numersil, which has 3 inflected cases (nominative, genitive, 3th case is dative and accusative collapsed in 1 case so prepositions + extra suffixes are used)
#ConlangNovember 11: Let's discuss morphosyntactic alignment. How does your language treat the agent and patient of a transitive verb compared to the sole argument of an intransitive verb? Also, what noun cases does your language distinguish?

I do recognise neurodivergent traits in a lot of writers (you need to be an introvert with a deep internal world to be a writer already, and a lot have clear ADHD creativity and gifted traits too) but I have no clue which one officially is ND on diagnosis level...

Chaotic good...
My main characters usually have a deep internal sense of ethics based on fairness for all and rejection of evil, cruelty and greed, which in the case of Pyra is, for once, not contradicted by her environment. It fits well within the views of Nation outlaws.
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?

No burgers as we know it, and I don't think it's a culinary delight to Ronan and Pyra either, but it's a form of ultraprocessed food in fancy shapes... Héva is a strange place to be, and not just because they don't have any men...

still a bit shadowbanned on X I think, or is my opinion about jazz so controversial?

I suppose Pyra is rather fiery (he name comes from the old Greek word for fire), not just with her red hair but also with her personality... It just fitted for her, just as Ronan fitted for the other main character in the story that now is called 'story of Ronan and Pyra', set in the 27th century...
What's your MC's name and why did you pick it for them? (Feel free to list other characters too!)

Listening to Cannonball Adderley.
They don't make artist names anymore like those old jazz dudes did...

For #NovemberWorldbuilders
In Pyra's time the reconnection of The Nation with the rest of the planet, and recognition of the alliance of 'outlaw' Ghost Towns as a seperate state on Nation Island (and member of the Planetary Council) are still seen as a subject of a lot of discussion in The Nation...
Heya, #NovemberWorldbuilders. The last two days were for characters seen as pure good or evil. Now for the morally grey stuff: are there any historical figures or events that are debatable whether they were good or bad? Who are the controversial people/events in your world's history?

Remember: It's normal for full art pieces to take more than a day or two to complete. Some pieces will take longer to complete than others and that's normal.

Social media has warped our perception on how long things actually take to create. You're doing fine. 🤍

Most of the horrible relationship advice I see online would not exist if people just took the golden rule (treat your partner like you want to be treated) as the basis of relationships, and has actual open and direct communication instead of treating the other sex as aliens....

The story of Ronan and Pyra begins with a random bird and the scenery before it zooms in at the characters...
(Which is probably completely wrong according to Amer/English 'creative writing' coaches, but I like Ghibli over Hollywood too if you know what I mean...)

Reminder: finding status and social hierarchies more important than truth, goodness and fairness is a pathology, and one of the most dangerous ones too!

There's a time to show, and there's a time to tell, and there's a lot of times that you have to stay away from American 'creative writing' gurus...

"Love is a mystery, but you recognise it when you see it", from the conversation of Michael and his final LI and the priestess of the (formerly only) female outlaws about an outlaw 'Love Ceremony' (certainly not a Nation Marriage) in the Wife School dystopia.

John Manfred (the Father of The Nation) is seen as a hero by most male Nationers, but most other people in the Nation archipel (including the Ghost Town outlaws and Hévans) would say he's the worst thing to happen since the era of tsunamis and the great blackout..
Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! We're talking about morality in our fictional worlds this week. Today's prompt is the opposite of yesterday's: are there any characters in your world's history/lore who are considered evil? Whether ontologically evil or someone who made bad choices. Who were they?

Everyone should read Joan Slonczewksi's 'A Door into Ocean', with its deconstruction of gender and even biological sex, plus the theme of nonviolence against violence too, in very patriarchal violent planet against one with non-violent women-only inhabitants... Intriguing book!

H.G. Wells has written a fascinatingly autistic character in Mr. Cavor (The first men in the moon).

Not much progress on the Pyra and Ronan story, a bit of a writer's block and too busy with other things I think.

The story is set in the ANOD world, inspired by horrible incel memes & bad christian marriage books, but there's also slice of life, a bit of adventure, and chaos...

The land of Héva is named after Sister Héva, who escaped the patriarchy of The Nation to new land and founded the Sisterhood to lead every aspect of the lives of the sisters in Héva.
The other group of female outlaws who stayed found her too extreme...
Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! This week’s theme is GOOD and EVIL where we share morality in our fictional worlds. Today's question is about HEROES from the past. Do you have any characters who lived and performed acts of heroism before the main story starts?
