As a hobby worldbuilder who works primarily in what I assume is the weird fiction zone (with fair sized fantasy or scifi elements, depending on the project), I sometimes get stuck about what to do with the sky. If reality doesn't work the same, how do I account for the sun? Should I even have a moon and stars? If I do, are they true moon and stars, or an equivalent?
While you can gently sweep the conundrum under a rug, it can of course become part of the game. Here's some examples of solutions I've enjoyed:
Midst: The natural state of the universe is, in fact, light. Darkness acts like a reality-warping, breathable liquid. Midst is an islet, which here means it's one of many floating planetoids. Midst specifically floats and rotates slowly at the border of light and dark, causing day and night. The moon is an even smaller floating body, but it's mostly just there to explode. Space is dangerous not for breathing or temperature reasons but because you'll get ripped to shreds by floating mica.
Campaign: Skyjacks: The sun is the creation of the Sovereign (now dead patriarch god), and the stars were his angels. The Morningstar is the only one that doesn't move, guarding the empty throne, but the few remaining stars (angels) do, and also aren't always up there, which makes navigation difficult. There are so few stars now as most angels were cast out of the heavens a couple centuries back (when The Sovereign was slain). The moon was created by The Forest Queen, allowing her to see by the light of it, which she could not by the Sovereign's sun. If you fly an airship above the moon, she cannot see you.
The Mistholme Museum: Specifically, in the world of The Beast and The Queen, the stars are beetles, which roam about on the dome that is the sky. The sun? Different beetle.

Slowly watching YouTubers I liked become more and more homophobic/transphobic for some reason.
Like I can get making jokes about it, being equal about how you make jokes about everyone - I get it.
But going on like full blown "they're cringe cause they're trans/gay" or slowly moving away from a topic to be a dick about it.
Really?

do you know what you're all right about solo fans not having any critical thinking skills because i made a friend, who isn't a fan and who doesn't know anything about harry or his team or whatever, watch the mfasr mv and she got the point of it one go. she caught on about how predatory the industry is and how it tries to exhaust and exploit the talent and even after they're gone it still tries to exploit the brand and name and how entitled fans can be and how they think that just because they're a fan they're owed something from the artist and expect the artist to deliver to their expectations always and how all of these reasons are active contributing factors to the narrative and the reality the video talks about. and if she can get it without any prior knowledge, i think the video is very on point and obvious and that anyone who doesn't get it is being willfully ignorant and obtuse about it and just doesn't want their fantasy ruined.

i've already said my piece on why saad is easily the most interesting "brooding mysterious boy with an artsy passion" type character degrassi has ever done, but im honestly so sad they never tried to go deeper into his relationship with maya. the way the two of them fed off of each others trauma and sorta made each other worse while engaging in this morbid coping mechanism was so interesting to watch and i kinda wish we got to see it fester more in the background, if not get the same amount of focus as a plotline like the mola romance. idk, i found their chemistry addicting and i feel cheated bc they only showed up in a handful of episodes and never interacted after season 3.

"Even now, after all I've done, I can't quite figure out what makes people treat actual atrocities like cheap entertainment. Maybe we're all just broken inside, unable to really grasp the difference between fictional people and people we just don't know. They're all julst abstract ideas we're happy to have suffer for our enjoyment. Or maybe the fact it really happened is exactly the point. Adding the awful spice of reality to people's morbid fantasies."
