guess which frame I gave up on
Where’s the lie
when you think about it, like. everything about plance is just so calming: the blue and green aesthetic, the beautiful ship names, the little matching space floofs that represent them, the cutesy “water your plance!!” slogans…..
except pidge and lance themselves. they’re the kind of people who would burn the house down trying to make quesadillas in the middle of the night or something stupid like that
And now, fellow Raylums, we feast 🥂🥂🥂
This can apply both to magic and fictional science, because it’s essentially just a magic system in disguise!
There is a whole spectrum from hard systems (with a very particular set of rules that can’t be broken) to soft systems (characters don’t know everything about the rules and the workings or the rules are flexible). Where on this spectrum your system falls depends on you and your story.
A good way to start out is by asking three questions:
What is possible? What is impossible? What is the price?
Two stupid examples:
Fantasy: With this magic shoes you can fly ten feet above the ground. But you can only fly up, not forward. And your feet will hurt like hell for the next three days after you’ve used them.
Scifi: With this laser gun you can shoot people to stun them. But you can’t kill them with it. And to power it you need to buy a bunch of those little button batteries you never seem to get anywhere.
Try starting with those questions and work from there.
If you want to learn more about building a magic system and scifi/fantasy writing in general, check out these free lectures on youtube by author Brandon Sanderson, I learned a lot!

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
