Liking Sci-fi Is Such A Weird Thing Because It's Such A Broad Category I'm Not Even Sure I Can Definitively

Liking sci-fi is such a weird thing because it's such a broad category I'm not even sure I can definitively say I DO like sci-fi. Like. Star Trek and Rain World are both things I like that you could call sci-fi, but they are both INCREDIBLY different in plot, tone, theme, and even the ideologies they're based on. I think the only thing they really have in common is exploration of unknown alien worlds

I Had A Sudden Vision: Two Psychics Burdened With Prophetic Visions Who Illustrate What They See In Their

I had a sudden vision: two psychics burdened with prophetic visions who illustrate what they see in their chosen mediums. Yves paints exclusively in blue, while Tim's tool of choice is a ballpoint pen. Yves' technical skill far surpasses Tim's, as someone said to have been born a prodigy, but Tim finds that art soothes his endless anxiety and as such enjoys art much more than Yves does and is much less prone to artist's block. One day they both have visions of the end of the world, and so it's up to them to figure out what happens and how to stop it. Also, Tim has a massive and painfully obvious crush on Yves, but Yves is far too jealous of Tim's quick improvement to realise it.

I think some people are reblogging this under the assumption that I'm talking about the live action httyd movie and not act three of arcane season two. Truth be told the live action httyd looks like such a nothingburger of a film I forgot it existed

Really feeling the same pain as when httyd3 came out right now. They should invent a finale to my favourite things that are good

I'm gonna be real. I love detailed worldbuilding as a bonus thing, but the surface level shit has to be different and weird enough first before I can give a shit at all.

Rain world's lore pearls and deep background stuff is definitely something that keeps me interested, but I would care less if the basic premise of the world wasn't, when diluted, a weird fucking creature in a world of weird fucking creatures where the rain is so heavy it kills you, and even if it had never explained any of that it still would have been cool as fuck. In fact, most casual players DON'T get explanation or understand why basically anything happening for much of their playtime because it's deliberately obtuse about it, because it trusts that just existing in the world is interesting enough.

In the best of both worlds we can have both weird cool shit and stuff that explains it, but a lot of people think they can have a boring world as long as they put sooo much effort into explaining the economy and the crops and whatever else, and I'm sorry but unless your surface level world is interesting I actually don't give a shit at all. If I want to look into the details a mundane world it's actually just more interesting to read about real life history.

(Also, if I can read a paragraph about the way wheat grows and is harvested and made into bread and it works almost exactly the same way as your fantasy not-bread crop called daerb, then you haven't done any world building —you've just plagiarised wikipedia.)
