Worldbuilding Concept - The Raising and Dropping of the Veil

(This is part of the worldbuilding for my urban fantasy couple) The Dark Ages From the beginning of time, humanity has lived alongside the supernatural. This could be treating one another as equals, such as the relationship between humans and nonhuman-humanoids, treating the supernatural as wild animals, or even considering the magical as gods on Earth. This cohabitation lasted until a movement arose to explain the inexplicable The Scientific Revolution and the Raising of the Veil As the understanding of the natural world increased starting in the 1500 and 1600's, there was less of an explanation for the existence of the supernatural. These things became attributed to disease and a lack of education. With this the knowledge of the supernatural became restricted to small towns with traditional beliefs, and then all but disappeared until an event that overturned the beliefs that the Veil was built on. The Y2K Incident After at least 400 years of the supernatural falling out of public awareness, and even further being completely hidden by the Veil put up by common belief, everything came crashing down in 2000. The disbelief in science and technology brought on by Y2K was just enough to break the thin Veil brought up between the scientific and magical. People looked around on New Year's day and saw things they never would have believed they would see just a few hours before. The Aftermath Surprisingly quickly, the world adapted to rediscovering the supernatural. Within the first decade, governments scrambled to identify everyone with their species and regulate their lives to prevent chaos. Vampires were provided rations, and many businesses began adopting "nightwalker hours" to accommodate their, and others who prefer the dark's needs. Werewolves started being provided days off around the full moon. Even Fae contracts took on a more legalized nature, even if that didn't necessarily make them more understandable. The internet and social media has made it near impossible for the Veil to be reerected, so society will likely remain supernaturally diverse unless all technology goes down in a mass event, similar to what was expected during the Y2K Incident. It is unlikely, but nothing is impossible.

pass the olive garden breadstick to your followers 

can we PLEASE standardize the key to open your inventory??? i keep playing different games (crazy ik) and it goes from E to esc to I to tab to not even having an inventory im gonna stroke out pretty soon

Think of your favourite character who's dead.

Would you survive the thing that killed them (as yourself, with your ability but their armour or weapons)?

i fucking love bz

i just got the data entry for Hope and oh my god?????? i love Alan he's so so so so silly silly oh my god Maybe its the dynamic of one character is disgustingly human with their emotions and to the other human emotions and stuff like that are a foreign concept that just tickles me the right way i dunno but theyre just my favorite

the way that robin goes from kind of hating Alan for getting in her head to slowly as you discover more and more artifacts to thanking him for telling her about them and encouraging him that he can find the rest of his network is beautiful.

also the fact that he thinks hope must be a bird because of the way the Emily Dickinson poem describes it means he must have never known hope before. Robin literally taught him what hope is. She gave him hope for the first time in god knows how long and even in his analytical literal-mindedness he understands that hope is something he needs to take care of and keep safe

its just a beautiful dynamic because again Robin is driven by human emotion shes on 4546B to find out what happened to Sam, she does this reckless thing based solely on her feelings, and Alan is the exact opposite. He only knows logic and rules and emotion gets in the way

AND AND AND the parallels between Robin losing Sam and Alan losing his connection to his network is beautiful because that means they have something in common, a link that they can work through to explain to one another

its just beautiful writing and im probably reading into it way too much but thats my fucking job

chat i think i just had the most depressing single-person touch-starved thought ever: making/buying cosplays of characters you're attracted to to feel like you stole their clothes

reblogging this because im totally gonna use this for my subnautica fic (when i continue writing it. i swear i'll keep going at some point just rn my focus is on more terrestial, fantastical men)

every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok

Better look at AL-AN walking after he is transfered into his vessel

i just realized i shouldve sent the pictures of the prints i mentioned in my last post

thank you to the pretty lady with the nice dress who made them you were very nice and thank you for telling me about the way you draw hands
