santa invented the bag of holding
some lethal company doodles i did last night while I was dead and while people were selling scrap/enabling gambling addictions (the one w the crown and the monocle is me btw)
so i was originally gonna make a post about how i was reading the pda entry for the eyeye and how it says that the Alpha Peeper may have been the first thing on 4546B to evolve eyes and how "oh eyes are really complex structures so theres no way they evolved more than once. i mean warm-bloodedness only evolved like twice in mammals and birds so the Alpha Peeper could be the LUCA of 4546B" but then I google it to make sure.
gang. the LOWEST estimate I found was that eyes evolved 8 times independently of eachother. the HIGHEST was something like 1600?????? so thats what this post is about now theres so many different times eyes evolved holy shit
(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.
DEADASS FORGOT THE WORD "FACILITY" LAST NIGHT THIS IS A GODSEND
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
