Out of queue and definitely rambly but MAN

Ok last reblog (I’m on mobile so too lazy to add links) mentioned Solarpunk being more about settling down in a location whereas Lunarpunk is more nomadic and traveling on the water and such and

I

Got

A

Image in my head

Of a romance story. Or coming of age. Or both?

Of someone living in a solarpunk community along the shore, and someone living in a lunarpunk ocean nomadic community that stops by that shore and stays for a few days/weeks every time they come around. There’s always gardens and extra seats kept in storage for when they come around, warm beds to stay in, etc.

And these two people over time become close friends and maybe even fall for each other? But on top of the song and dance of ‘do I tell them, how to tell them, etc’ they have to also grapple with the fact that one of them stays put and the other is nomadic and their group only swings by once or twice a year on average (for a few weeks each but still)

And they gotta decide (once they finally confess to each other) what they’re gonna do. One person would miss home if they left with the nomads and their family and friends, and one person would miss traveling the seas and THEIR friends and family if they stayed put.

Idk if the solution would be to stay some years and travel others or what but thats ‘not 3am Ani’ to consider

Idk if this makes sense idk if this’ll seem like a good story idea and I SUCK ASS At writing romances (or having them hahaha *crying sounds*) but like

Yeah thats my braincell rn

#ani rambles #out of queue #story ideas #see this is fun because like #i feel like when I write stories there needs to be conflict #and in my current ones its ‘superheroes and villains and govt’ or ‘evil gods’ or ‘rebellion vs govt’ #(which I haven’t even started writing that one because I am NOT the kind of person who could depict a rebellion well) #even my solarpunk zombie story is a uh. zombie apocalypse story. #but I also always feel a twinge of guilt having Big Problems in solarpunk stories since they feel like they’re supposed to be. utopian???? #or not utopian but not the kind of stuff i usually do #corrupt govt? in solarpunk society? thats a nono #but going the fantasy route feels like its no longer solarpunk. to me. when I do it speficically #but i guess a SMALLER scale but still major CHARACTER conflict would work in a solarpunk story #idk maybe I’ll host a discussion on the aesthetic week channel about conflict and scale in solarpunk stories but for now #thats an ani ramble bye
