Have you ever considered turning your ideas and worldbuilding into writing, like short stories or novels?
And what kind of themes does your worldbuilding really explore?

I have. I dont think Im a strong writer, and couldnt make something people would want to read, but I do think about maybe working on some long form writing some time

And it varies. Solstice, my wb project, is solar-punk adjacent, speculative future but with alot of the worst possibilities in our own future having already come true
I think alot about conflict, transnational oligarchism, ancom, geoengineering and expansion into the solar system. But on a personal level, I write and note alot about different cultures, linguistics and the importance of community, while alot of my characters have through threads of trauma always manifesting as self hatred and how to try and find hope. And obviously, queer rep and my own experiences and the like play into alot of it
