omg @Assurbanipal_II that is hilarious!

Ok.. so @EternalSunset0 here:

Back on the previous topic. I was closing the window after making that link to the comment, and I forgot this, I find it funny that the commenter was another author, I remember being scared at first since it said they're a "Well-known Author" - I realize now it doesn't mean much but oh boy, for...

Maybe, it keeps telling me I've reached my limit of reactions for the day >.>

That what maps are for! :blob_nom:

I wanted to react to your comment about the loud orange man but it won't let me again. So take this instead. HAHAHAHAHA ~!!

I must admit, from my time in school, our history and geography classes seemed very self-centered. I don't recall any exercises requiring more than just learning about the continents and a few large countries, Hell.. we didn't even have to memorize our own 50 states to do well, at least in...

Like we have a State named Kansas, and then a City named Kansas, but in the State of Missouri. And There's Washington State, across the entire country, from Washington City, the capital? etc. lol.

Or maybe that's a US thing? To have cities and states/regions with the same name, but in different locations?

Oops. My geography failed me it seems. I was thinking it was like one of those things where there are large and small places with the same name?

Exactly! It's a huge area of time, so I sort of, took bits from different uhm... slices? Also hoping to mix in some renaissance and victorian influences, especially around "magic as technology"

I don't think you've gotten to it yet where I described a room/party in detail, but I was so happy with that, I look forward to coming up with and describing some beautiful areas! *also goes to look at pics of Belgium now*

I ended up melding a few different things in the end, especially for that tower she stayed in for a while.

Speaking of cities! I must have looked for like.. a couple of hours at stuff about how medieval cities were built, sizes, and how structures were done, all for the scene when Lilith finally broke free of her captors and made it out into the city. I mulled over the size for quite a while.

I can react again!!!!

I do find it a bit easy to get distracted and lost in research. Though maybe it's not a terrible thing to read several pages about something rather than just grab a piece that seems relevant and chuck it in.

I know I'm attempting to go outside of my comfort zone to get practice and hopefully be able to write other people better, it's not really, too apparent yet, but as I go along I hope to be able to write more varied characters and settings.

When writing, you can try to take things into account, but, ultimately, at least, for me, I think it's hard to write outside of your own experience. The best you can do is try to research and get into characters heads and represent things as best as you are able.

Hell if anything, I'm not that great at socializing so I've noticed things others might not out of necessity and it's apparent the person across the street could be wildly different even if you both grew up in the same town, much less people across countries or continents.

On the topic of people not understanding differences between areas, cultural, and etc. I think it's really easy these days to get stuck in "Bubbles" and lose awareness. I know I've been caught off guard here or there, but I don't think I've ever been deluded into thinking we're all so similiar.
