Doesn't this have a name?
species
moth people
led by elder moth person
philosophers
interested in study of "relatuces" pronunciation despite feeling above it
"that kinda 1800s erudite aesthetic"
harassed by bats
inspired by mothman - diverse appearances based on different moth species
relatuces
green people
typically wear pale yellow robes and pointy hats
pronunciation is unclear
relatuces like heracles, relatuces like juices, etc
political parties and electoral system based around debate on pronunciation
fabian suggested most of this and relatuces came from a typo of relatives that sounded like it could be a species name
humans
humans on water
largely self-sustainable, some larger communal facilities exist on larger boats etc
many boats constructed out of old car, train, bus, plane etc parts
live mostly in boats and other floating structures
humans on land
some refused to leave for the sea
many who refused are now nomadic or live in borderline unliveable conditions
appearance inspired by dublin famine memorial sculptures
some had no need to and live alongside the monsters in non-flooded lands
earth monsters
one that's basically just a big cat, can also step through holes in space though
cat suggestion was fabian's idea
portal thing was from a facebook post i screenshotted but can't find anymore
eyes glow when opening portals
large sea monsters
fabian suggested big fish
inspiration from baron munchausen drawings?
"biblical"
sky creatures that would (and did) eat aircraft
eels in canals
cockatrices
act like a more monstrous version of feral pigeons
feral pigeons mostly live in the floating cities and have largely fled natural land
some monsters inhabit former human structures
see hepworth sculptures for inspiration
reflective people
inspired by the work of lynn chadwick
http://www.artnet.com/artists/lynn-chadwick/
worshipped as gods by the people below them
reproduce by gathering in a ring around the "mother" and directing starlight with their faces towards the "mother"
weavers of starlight, primarily now for art
take the dead of the people below them
solitary confinement in artificial asteroids as punishment
species below the reflective people
worship the reflective people as gods
allow the reflective people to take their dead as their religious views around death aligned with how the reflective people work
guard frogs
locations
moth city-state
on a plateau
monument valley buttes on the arizona-utah border as visual inspiration
earth
pre-flood was mostly in similar state to mid-2010s earth in real life
floating cities built by rich to survive, but overthrown by the global poor after capitalism collapsed
very flooded, see
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2013/09/rising-seas-ice-melt-new-shoreline-maps/
for some loose inspiration but it's not sciencey
most of the land has monsters of various descriptions on it
walking around upper lake in the park and reading a guardian insert about canals inspired the boats idea
reflective people's home
orbits the same star as the people they take the dead from
inspirations for design include sections of rainbow road (wii), star haven (paper mario)
powered and ran automatically by the corpses of people taken from the outer planet - hadestown inspiration
starlight is harvested from the star the planet orbits which is used for creating art and animating the corpses
land of the dead
constantly folding point in spacetime
characters
elder moth person
appearance based on spanish moth
leader of moth city-state
gods
angels
members of sentient species recruited and transformed using The Chemicals:tm: to help act as stewards for the universe
time's angels inspired by the sentinels by philip jackson
narrator's angels inspired by sculptures of rob mulholland
http://robmulholland.org/sculpture-2/
individual gods
narrator
wanders the universe alone, unable to interact with what goes on
holds a small box of down taken from the time god
loves the universe and documenting it but regrets the unpleasantness in it
water
in love with death (they're lesbians)
leaves small puddles where she steps, whether she's in meatspace or not
death
in love with water (they're lesbians)
often accompanied by bubbles, picked up from water
inspired by carving in the holy grave chapel in germany
time
covered with feathers
responsible for fluctuations in time, forgetfulness
how do gods work?
exist in a form of space separate to everything else
can project forms into the material world
their full forms would be huge, with extra chemical(ish) energy bursting out of a smaller form if not used to produce temporary angels or held in the gods' space
chemicals appear similar to this:

meat service
some people on earth have machines that grow synthetic meat
meat service install and repair them
tv person
a person who walks around at night with an old tv on their head and communicates through archive footage clips
sells old tv and tech that doesn't work to use as "retro" decoration on boats
mole salesman
a slightly grubby old man who carries around a large container of moles to try and sell to boatspeople
finds moles by sensing their movement below the surface of the grass
sentient pair of legs
floating ideas/potential sources of inspiration
giant hand on phi center, montreal
tarot cards
philip jackson sculptures
http://www.philipjacksonsculptures.co.uk/Philip_Jackson/index.htm
history
creation myth
unclear
time unfolding corrupted events so how everything started is impossible to determine
stuff to remember for later
"letters from a burning planet"
"oops i left the mic on"
an archipelago in space
