Hi! I’ve recently discovered some posts showing that there’s an active fandom for predicting stuff in the Ocotber Daye series/discussing the series. Are their any tumblrs, discords, groups people reccommend?
Also I feel like such a giant pumpkin head reading this series as it comes out aside from the like eight book binge I did when I first got into the series.
I'm so excited to read this! Do you want a queer, racially diverse, plus size friendly, and all around loving adaptation of Nancy Drew in comic form? Check it out! If you don't have a comic shop to hop to you can purchase this comic digitally from Amazon or Comixology!
Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new series, Nancy Drew, by Kelly Thompson and Jenn St-Onge. The teen sleuth’s latest daring adventure debuts in June, with cover variant artwork by the astonishing assemblage of Tula Lotay, Marguerite Sauvage, Annie Wu, and series artist Jenn St-Onge.
In the new series, Nancy Drew is seventeen and good at everything… especially solving crimes. But her totally-in-control-and-obviously-running-perfectly-smooth-(but-not-really) life hits a snag when a mysterious message drags her back to the hometown she left behind. There she’ll have to find out which of her friends are still her friends, which are enemies, and who exactly is trying to kill her…and (hopefully) stop them before they succeed. Nancy, the classic master teen mystery-cracker, will be shown in a way you’ve never seen before, by a creative team with a huge respect for the original tales, and what she could mean for a modern audience.

YOU GONNA FUCK MY WIFE?
IM GONNA CUCK YOU GOMEZ. GONNA FUCK YOUR WIFE. YOU CAN WATCH WITH YOUR HAUNTED BEADY LITTLE EYES.
You have your land and your people. Now onto what kind of people they are and what they sound like. Culture is the greatest worldbuilding tool you need to master. Language is extra spice.
Culture is a collection of customs and attitudes formed over time. Culture forms around a land, metaphorical cling film if you will. Land influences culture.
Entertainment: What amuses your people? Bull fighting? Gladiators? Tasteful plays?
Food and drink: What food is common? Is there a delicacy popular in the region? Pasta is Italy’s delicacy. Beer is a common drink in Germany
Taboo: The no-no of society. What can’t be spoken about or done? In Harry Potter, the name of Voldemort is taboo. In our world, for most of us anyway, incest and cannibalism are the major taboos
Myths: Are stories that explain things without evidence from science. The Egyptians thought that a dung-beatle rolled the sun across the sky. Celtic cultures believe that a death is sounded by the scream of a banshee.
Games: What games are played by children or adults? Are card games popular or board games? Is it popular to watch games or gamble on them? How often are they fixed?
Traditions: What do your people do? Do they have holidays? In Incan tradition, human sacrifices were common. On a light note, the Greeks held the Olympics ever few years. Is there traditional ceremonies or words one says on a daily basis?
Values: The Spartans valued Spartan behaviour. Renaissance culture valued skill and honour. What is the important concepts of your people? Strength? Honour? Intelligence? Do people get treated differently when they don’t follow the values of the land?
Meeting and greeting: How do people say hello? Is there a word or saying? A signal? And goodbye?
Language is the heart of a land. You don’t need to create a large lexicon of made up words and rules. You can. I did once, it was fun. You don’t need to show the language in every line. A word here and there can add spice to a story. Language effects accents and way of speaking.
Side note: “Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.” A country without a language is a country without a soul. Ireland is a county with two main languages: Irish (Gaelige) and English. Colonization almost stamped out the language. The Irish language is difficult to learn but it brings pride to me as Irish girl to know parts of it. It breaks my heart not to be fluent in my native language. Language is not just words. It is the heart and soul of a land.
So, how far along are you on Diego's route are you all caught up? I don't want to accidentally spoil anything for you.
Does anyone want to talk about Heavanfall is for lovers with me? Especially Antonio’s route. I have so many opinions and theories.
