Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:

Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:

Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?

Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.

Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.

Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?

Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.

It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:

Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?

Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.

When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.

the coppery-bellied puffleg is a hummingbird species found only in colombia and venezuela. they are named for the unusual white “puffs” of feathers on their legs - it’s unknown why exactly the puffleg species have evolved this trait. these birds are somewhat elusive, and not much research has been done on them, but it is known that destruction of their native habitat is negatively impacting population size.

Today’s bird is this Crowned Pigeon

the crested quail-dove is a bird endemic only to mountain ranges in jamaica. despite the confusing aspect of their name, this bird is a member of the pigeon & dove family, and not any more closely related to quails than other birds of this family. males and females appear similar, with males sporting slightly brighter plumage & typically being larger. they feed on fallen fruits and seeds, foraging through leaf litter. the typical clutch size for this species is only two eggs.

the greater flameback is a brightly colored woodpecker species found in the indian subcontinent. the bird is highly variable in coloration through its different subspecies, which occupy different portions of its range. males always have a distinct red crest, while the crest color of females varies by subspecies. like other woodpeckers, the greater flameback mainly feeds by extracting insects and arthropods from trees, as well as supplementing their diet with nectar.

the azure-hooded jay is a large corvid species found in middle america. they prefer tropical and subtropical forest habitats, where they forage for fruits in the canopy. they are omnivorous, and primarily feed on fruits and berries, but also on dead animals and insects. little is known about this bird due to its secretive nature, but it can be inferred from closely related species that they are likely very social and intelligent creatures.

the red kite is a large raptor found in parts of europe and northwestern europe. the sexes are identical - other than females being significantly larger than males. they primarily feed on small mammals, such as mice, shrews, and voles; a large portion of the diet is also composed of carrion, and some households intentionally feed these birds by leaving out meat such as chicken. in spring, earthworms are also an important food for red kites. pair bonds are typically renewed yearly, with both parents assisting in raising the chicks.

the golden-winged sunbird is an african sunbird species. they are known for their extreme territoriality; much of their time is spent defending the mint flowers, the nectar of which they primarily feed on. other portions of their diet are made up of other flowers’ nectars as well as small insects. females are much duller in coloration than males, along with being noticeably smaller. these birds often live solitary lives due to their extreme territorial nature, with little interaction with their own species.

the pharaoh eagle-owl is an owl species found in portions of northern africa & southeastern asia. they are often found in desert habitats. like other owls, they are typically nocturnal. they feed on a variety of prey, ranging from typical owl fare like small mammals and birds to the more unusual scorpions. pharaoh eagle-owls are monogamous and bond with their mates for life.

the coscoroba swan is the smallest waterfowl species considered a swan, found in southern south america. these birds can live for upwards of 20 years. males are extremely territorial and slightly larger than females, and defend the nest vigorously. they feed on plant material, small fish, and aquatic insects.

the shiny whistling-thrush is a small passerine bird found exclusively in the barisan mountains of sumatra. they are known for having bright, reflective plumage. they are omnivorous, but prefer insects - they use their slightly hooked bills for specialized feeding on snails.

this bright yellow cardinal, affectionately known as “tweets”, currently resides on the university of florida campus. typically male cardinals are a distinctive red; this bird’s coloration is due to a genetic mutation called xanthochromism. xanthochromic birds lack an enzyme that properly converts yellow to red, leaving pigments in their body the original yellow.

The Outburst Clouds of Star AG Car : What created these unusual clouds? At the center of this 2021 Hubble image sits AG Carinae, a supergiant star located about 20,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. The star’s emitted power is over a million times that of the Sun, making AG Carinae one of the most luminous stars in our Milky Way galaxy. AG Carinae and its neighbor Eta Carinae belong to the scarce Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) class of stars, known for their rare but violent eruptions. The nebula that surrounds AG Car is interpreted as a remnant of one or more such outbursts. This nebula measures 5 light-years across, is estimated to contain about 10 solar masses of gas, and to be at least 10,000 years old. This Hubble image, taken to commemorate Hubble’s 31st launch anniversary, is the first to capture the whole nebula, offering a new perspective on its structure and dust content. The LBVs represent a late and short stage in the lives of some supergiant stars, but explaining their restlessness remains a challenge to humanity’s understanding of how massive stars work. via NASA

Another entry in my series of imaginary Pokemon Legends Arceus places. Sorry about the watermarks, I wish I didn’t have to put them in annoying places but people have been stealing my art and selling them :(

Prints available!

No but seriously as I’ve gotten older I realize more and more that although white gays do face certain levels of oppression they are still white people.....like does that make sense?
