Hyper specific bqv question incoming, I’m not sure if you’ve established this much of a story for it but, does bqv have any hyper-specific analogues/references related to it’s themes and story? (E.g in my own stuff the episodes and arcs are named after and tie back to specific songs and albums respectively, with the entire story being based on Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here)
Finding out the inspirations like this for a world I feel paints helps picture if what said worlds are like.
oh i'm mostly freestyling the story, which is in line with the purpose of the project as a "have fun go nuts" kind of thing, but i do know that the worldbuilding, rather than the plot, is themed around elements in abrahamic religions...but that's pretty obvious i think. a major secondary theme is food, eating, and its part in the cycle of life, and this influences the story a bit more than the loftier themes borrowed from abrahamic religion, but there's no super specific analogues to the story. in my mind it's very much trying to be its own thing.
even when it comes to inspirations from pop culture (which it has: it borrows different things from Tokyo Ghoul, Dungeon Meshi, Final Fantasy Type-0, Monster Hunter, and other smaller influences) those inform the world more than the story...
