Socialist Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding is the process in fiction writing where one develops the setting, background details, in-universe history, lore, basically anything establishes and/or describes the universe in which a fictional story takes place is worldbuilding. Either done in order to create a more compelling and internally consistent plot or just for fun!

This is an explicitly socialist/Marxist space, but the fictional worlds you post does not have to specifically be socialist or leftist worlds, any is fine as long as it follows the broader Lemmygrad rules. Likewise with any genre or medium that your world is portrayed as.

Any type of post relating to worldbuilding is welcome here, including sharing lore that you've developed or generally talking about your world, questions, discussion and advice, writing prompts, etc.

When you think about scenes playing out in your world, what is the visual medium? Is it the same as the real world? Is it some form of cartoon or anime? 3D renders like a Pixar movie? Something else?

Sometimes as Anime, sometimes as Anime with a combination of Realism.

What can I say, I like the anime artstyle haha.

I mean, if I put effort into it I can just visualise reality, or the closest thing the human mind can synthesise. However, if I'm not actively thinking about it, most of the time things just crop up looking like a medieval manuscript.

whatever style into the spiderverse or Arcane is.

I don't really visualize it in any specific way.

But if I ever write about it, it's going to be in text form. Specifically, in the form of wiki articles. Wiki articles written by a gaggle of hateful little liberals and fascists who are resorting to absurdly desperate lengths to spin reality into a favourable narrative that's blatantly bullshit to anyone who isn't also using it to cope. So basically as similar as possible to the way AES is portrayed IRL.

Anime, usually.

Real world. Cinematic, perhaps, but that's because I'm a sucker for a good scenery
