Imaginaerium, Day 26 - Bugs

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

  Another day, another prompt. Keep going, and enjoy the journey of writing with the rest of us Anvilities. :D   I may or may not have promised to bumble my way through Dark Souls 1 on Stream. So if you enjoy terrible gameplay, repeated death, and a chill conversation on various worldbuilding things, keep your eye out for that.  

Video Recommendation

  Do you have any poisonous critters in your setting? Are you curious how a person might react when stung?   Well, look no further than Coyote Petersen and his youtube series about just get. Whether it's for research or the entertainment value, it's great for your poisonous needs!       Bonus Fact: did you know someone went through the trouble of making a pain index for these sort of stings?        

Music Recommendation

       

World Recommendation

 
One day, 15 years ago, the people started waking up inside a colossal pit, which walls are covered by the buildings from different ages. Suspended in the middle of the pit, there was a giant seed giving off the light.
  And with that, Revyera definitely has my attention with his world the Call of the Tree. Rev's real good with these weird, high-concept worlds, which is a good way of getting me to read 'em as you know. So, check it out! He's working on Call of the Tree for Summer Camp, so plenty of stuff comin'!

Ah, Schmidt. Is this the guy that got stung by every stinging bug and commented the pain of each with very evocative and sometimes poetic description and when he arrived at the most painful wrote something like "Nope, that was a bad idea. Don't let me do it again".

Q, you don't know how thankful I am to you for recommending my worlds. I'm glad you like them and I hope you'll have even more fun reading about them in the future.

<3   I look forward to seeing more come out of your worlds. They've got some amazing high concept and really stand out from the crowd. :D

This is my favorite Douglas Adams quote of all time, and he has quite a few fun ones.   I still can't get over the pain index, or why anyone would want to get stung on purpose to see how painful it is...
