Guys.
Wix deleted this entire post somehow.
WHY *dies*
Maybe I'll rewrite it one of these days, but for now I'm afraid it's kinda dead. That's frustrating. I'll do a quick recap though:
Worldbuilding is hard. But it's helpful to find inspiration in real-world crazy stuff that almost seems like it should be in a fantasy novel itself. Take a gander at these:
Sea fireflies
Active lunar volcanoes (yes, our Moon use to explode)
Electric blue lava
Moonbows
Intense storms that last for hundreds of years, like Jupiter's Great Red Spot
Weird colored water
Uranus' diamond ocean and diamond rain
Crazy amounts of moons (I believe Saturn has 143 if I remember right? And Jupiter has 95 and counting)
Underwater creatures
The Lizard That Shoots Toxic Blood Out of Its Eyeballs
WOW!!! I LOVE THIS!!! I am totally going to save this post and reference it when I need worldbuilding inspiration 😍 I think the most magical on this list are the sea fireflies and the moonbows. 😱 Those are stunning and I never knew they even existed!
