#stretching that writing muscle tag #listen i love me some world-building but this is supposed to be a throwaway. a gimme. a no plot needed #a fun times whimsy ride #so why am i trying to come up with harvest traditions for 3.5 different cultures so i can mush them together into one. #ESPECIALLY why since probably very little of it will even end up in the fic??? i just need to know so i can write the shape of them??? #the ~haunted house~ which was built on this unpopulated colony planet with pieces of houses from the 4 nearby worlds #which is filled with mementos of those loved and lost. of ancestors too far back to even remember #a haunted house haunted by the ghosts of ancestors of different worlds who fought and killed each other #put together by their descendants trying to build an uneasy peace #i genuinely don't even know if I'll include that in the story!!! but it's there. that's what my brain is trying to give me. frickin PLOT. #i don't want plot!!!!! #like i love the idea of that house so much and it's gonna get like. one dang throwaway line. bc the story is VERY MUCH not about that. #the story is just early relationship fun times!!!! #but these four planets + earth scientists decided to hold a harvest festival and mush their ideas together and an earth scientist #mentioned haunted houses as an autumn thing and the scientists from those four worlds took the idea and RAN with it and made it their own #anyway. i'm probably not going to include the house at all. the story has NOTHING to do it with it. but at least you know about it now lmao #SIGH.
