ResistingChange

Video: youtube.com/watch?v=EWmjnyI_us

Blogpost: blog.illestpreacha.com/wcccres

#Resistance #WCCC #wccchallenge #Livecoding #CreativeCoding

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “ Resistance”, ResistingChange is coded in #Hydravideosynth , #Locomotion & #LiveCodeLab.

ResistingChange follows the journey of an OrDroid, who is resistant to the changes seen on the right side of the screen as well as not following the choreography of the other OrDroids floating around. The LiveCodeLab Audio provides an ambience representing this journey.

Resistance To Change
Options for Range
Are Thoughts Hidden,
Locked up in a cage?
Or free to roam to Life’s Rhythm
Free to Scroll
Obtain new Zones
As it blends into the next page?
Is it a matter of age?
A scatter of the presence of one's own?

#PennedPossibilities 654 — How would your SC introduce themselves?

Cosmia (f): Hey there. I'm the friendly neighborhood bar-owner. Sit down, have a drink, and don't cause any trouble. And if you do decide to get a bit rowdy, go f*ck yourself. I'll kick your ass out by myself. I don't need a man's help.

Junk (m): I'm the right-hand man. Nice to meet you. Name's Junk. Call me... Junk. Yeah, that works.

Dante (m): Dr. Arcturius Cason, at your service. You may refer to me as Dante, though. Are you looking to make an appointment?

(For context, Dante's a doc.)

M.O.S.H.A

In your world, how can magic go wrong?

Magic is really powerful. Worlds with magic tend to treat it as fundamental to how the world works, it tends to lead to big societal change, and it’s generally, something you put in a story because you give a crap about it. Unless you’re me. But the point of magic system is that they impose themselves on the world, and they change the world. Anything in the world, as you may notice, impacts the world and has by necessity, ways to fail.

Like, bricks are pretty well known and there are still ways that we have rules for handling them in the case of causing dangerous problems. What kinds of things in your universe keep magic from going wrong? And if they’re not there, can magic go wrong?

#PennedPossibilities 653 — MC POV: Your best friend comes over at 3 am to go on an adventure. Where are you (both) going?

Alexios: First of all, the only f*ckin' choom I have that would be coming over at three in the morning is Junk. He's a knob. Where are we headed, though? Probably out to a new ramen spot, let's be honest. Not exactly news, but we're foodies. Plus, he probably needs the company. Exciting lives we lead, huh? That's an adventure for us.

#PennedPossibilities 651 — Name one person that would willingly hold your MC back if they were ever in the “raving lunacy” stage of anger.

(I am so monumentally tired tonight. I'm actually a wee bit dizzy. So... Short answer for me. I might add to it in the morning.)

That one person, without fail, will always be Junk. In fact, we see this occur early on in the first novel of the series. Junk is Alexios' steady, unyeilding best friend and a protector in every way. That faithful friend, the one who protects him no matter the cost, who always stops him from making any terrible mistakes—that's Junk to a T. Alexios has a fiery temper and often flies off the handle. He's working on fixing that...

An honorary mention also goes out to Dante here. He would pretty much do the same for Alexios in heartbeat. He's blessed with good friends.

Adamas Nemesis

For man's second interstellar voyage in my sci-fi universe: a tenuous world of Everest-tall glass spires, supersonic winds, and even more sublime wonders.

Read all about it at my #blog: adamasnemesis.com/2025/04/22/c

This post's featured image is "Storm rising at Devils Tower", taken by me (providing some inspiration for the spires of this world).

This time, for our weekly archive article, we're looking at fantasy maps for your #WorldBuilding and #TTRPG settings. In this part 2 of the Bones of Earth article series, Jubal talks us through some of the stranger and weirder ways that worlds can be put together.

Inspiration for you maybe? Find out in 'The Bones of Earth 2: A Wizard Did It!'

#PennedPossibilities 650 — What profession would you have if you lived within the world of your WIP?

Credit: @Inverse_Shadow

(New thread for my friends~!)

I'd end up working in a small, niche shop in the Nightlife District of Midnight City where I read people's palms, help with hauntings, and do tarot spreads for money. Imagine lots of neon signs outside. But then when you walk in and hear the bell on the door, every wall is decorated with pagan-inspired art, there's cozy furniture and incense burning, and there's nature sounds for background music to help customers relax. I know myself far too well, and that's just who I am. I mean, I (IRL) have a genuine paranormal podcast and on the side I also (privately) help friends or family with pesky home hauntings. I'd somehow make ends meet. There's nothing better than combining the supernatural or the paranormal with a cyberpunk story. It's a pretty cool combo. An awesome concept, I think. I'd have some insane nickname like "Mama Panda, the Spirit Speaker" or something, too. LOL.
