FINALLY 👏 SOMEONE 👏 SAID 👏 IT. 👏 ALL OF IT.  👏ALL AT ONCE. 👏
(Thank you @fallingawkwardly​ for bringing this to my attention.)
I meeeaaaaan……. some of this is valid and reasonable. Some of it’s tropes you probably should actually look at critically if you’re going to use them. Some of it can be interesting worldbuilding, if you want to make a thing of it. But if it’s not actually relevant to the story or characters, a lot of this isn’t fucking NECESSARY and I’m never going to care, as a reader – by the time you’re fussing about who domesticated WHEAT, for fuck’s sake……
Idk, dude, maybe read another genre? I’m getting the feeling epic fantasy is maybe not your thing.
I love worldbuilding and will write endless unimportant details no one but me is ever going to see, but at the end of the day I am writing a fucking story, not a fantasy almanac and encyclopedia.
Babe, I love you, but you are literally the person who has spent several weeks figuring out realistic weather patterns for your fantasy world.
Like i am not arguing your point bc it’s a very good point that tbqh i agree with, but i’m just losing my shit because you are exactly the kind of person who thinks about shit like who domesticated wheat in your own fantasy novels.
Okay first of all the weather actually does matter a lot shut up.
But also there’s a big fucking difference between caring about large scale things like climate and geography and politics, and acting like it’s a failing on an author’s part that they didn’t bother to explain shit like the origins of agriculture in the world they created.
NO NO I AGREE, there is a large difference, and he needs to get over himself, but like. You could just make up weather. Like, to most people, the weather realism is as unimportant as the origins of agriculture.
but I love you.
