Just watched the new War of the Worlds trailer... oh good, another “found footage but filmed on a potato” vibe. My vertigo said nope. Y’all enjoy the chaos. Y’all go enjoy the chaos, I’ll be over here watching slow pans and subtitles like a civilized goblin.

Some sci-fi tropes are so good, we keep running them on loop. Found family? Space empires? Alien languages no one should be able to speak fluently that fast? We love them.

5 Sci-Fi Tropes We Love (and Why We Keep Using Them)

From chosen ones to rogue AIs, sci-fi tropes stick around for a reason. They ground us in strange new worlds, set the stage for wonder and sometimes blow up a few landmarks along the way.

Just heard that Hulk Hogan passed away.

A part of my childhood went with him.

From the bandanas to the body slams, he was larger than life and today the world feels a little smaller.

Rest easy, Hulkster. 💔

Wind Rider Wednesday is now twice a month because if I worldbuild any harder, I’ll have a lore bible and no book.

Time to write the story, not just label every sky cabbage. 😤🪁

Started outlining Wind Rider Book 1… Immediately got sucked into character bios and Drift lore.

Now I have no plot, but 14 emotional backstories and a map of sky fruit trade.

Brain, I beg you… pick a lane. 😤🪁
