I’m a little too obsessed with the world building I’ve done for this.  Really tho. This month, I drew a few maps, wrote up a vague world history, decided on a system of globalist government, created a unique calendar system, and even started thinking about world languages. I’m going crazy. World building is awesome. I can't really do it myself without just copying an existing franchise... Maybe you should do writing |

It’s both challenging and fun to do it in that form. Because now I have to think more about where and how things happen. I can’t just have Tecumseh show up at a random place and start killing people. But at the same time I love having a realistic world and the logic that I have to add makes it come to life for me. |

I’m going crazy. Remember that's exactly what Tolkien did with his stories, so that's a good kind of crazy. Besides if you say you're crazy because of that then I need to be put in the loony bin |

Not quite, but I have been creating and thinking up different people's philosophies, customs and beliefs. Not gonna lie though, I have been thinking of heading towards fleshing out that direction |

Not gonna lie though, I have been thinking of heading towards fleshing out that direction That stuff is fun. One of my villains in the story was kinda one dimensional and didn’t have a clear motivation but I spent some time thinking about it and expanding his philosophy. |

With the calendar, I didn’t want to mess up age so it’s still the same number of days per year and hours per day but I made like eight-day weeks and ten 36-day months.

I love fleshing out villainous figures. There's just so many cool ways you can go with them. It's why I'm not the biggest fan of simple Skeletor type bad guys. Not unless they bring some presence to the table. |

Also strangely fun to rename characters.

I guess I never said this, but the whole time the series was being released, the idea was that it actually takes place in the Star Wars universe but in a system that had no contact with other worlds. And the Rhyolitians were actually supposed to be human force users that had been banished from the Old Republic centuries ago and formed their own society. This was going to be revealed at the end of Season 3 as part of a huge twist. And Season 4 would have featured a few Star Wars characters and would end with them making official contact with the Galaxy and realizing how insignificant their war had been, similar to the end of Lord of the Flies. After killing Adrian in the Season 2 finale, Peter stumbles across a large grey brick in the Rhyolitian base where he hears a heartbeat. This was set up for Season 3 where that brick would be opened. None of this will happen in my written project so I thought I’d say it here. |

Honestly I think keeping it it's own thing is better but that would be quite the twist |

Don't think I ever mentioned this but it kinda came to me as I was writing, Episode 3 (the one with the crazy Dad who kidnaps and trains his son to kill) may have felt kind of pointless but it was actually there to foreshadow the rest of the show. The episode is basically the whole two seasons in brief. The Dad represents Adrian and the son is actually Eileen. Dex tries to turn Matt into something he isn't but Matt turns against him and abandons him. And then Dex is killed pathetically as he reflects on his mistakes by an angry and unstable young man, which of course is what happens to Adrian. The episode's title "In the Loop" kinda hints at this.
