some thoughts

Im thinking lately.

That. most fiction is in relation or response to a mainstream world that
has rules, and makes some sort of sense, seeming to work.

That obviously isnt true anymore...and im sure hasnt been true for some a long time.

Now.

The script has to be flipped.

Fiction now has to tell of worlds and realities that respond up against a world
that is broken and doesnt make sense most of the time.

It has to portray worlds that work and have rules, places that make sense.

Against the senseless reality we now live in.

fantasy concept philosophy

A concept of a fantasy/ magical realism philosophy
Mostly based on the common TTRPG

Reality is made of cycles or wheels.

It begins with Energy. 
Positive flowing into the Negative
The Greater Cycle or Planes of reality
In the midst of that flow is the Balance

Out of the Balance arises a Storm of potential
Settling out of the Storm are forms and concepts that become the Elements
The Elements are the Inner planes or cycles

Out of the Elemental wheel arises the Emergent plane of reality
The Lesser cycle of matter and mortality,  Life and Death
All worlds that seem most familiar to us reside here.

Beyond the Emergent plane arises the Etheric reality of the Gods
This is the Outer Wheel or cycle of realities.
It Seperates what is Known from the unknown wastes of the far beyond existences

The Etheric realm flows back into the Energetic realm and the Cycles move on.
Each cycle turns and flows changing over the ages and counting time as if an immense clockwork.
