Terry Pratchett is pretty much the Tolkien of flat earth literature.
Edit: give me 100 upvotes and that will satisfy me more than 2k on Reddit.
Edit 2: AWESOME!
thanks, haha, I was checking the comments before I said “discworld”
Yeah, it’s pretty obvious when you think about it.
You have all the continents on the one side and ocean on the other so there has to be some sort of counterweight to make sure everything doesn’t start slipping and falling off. This predictive use of the world theory led to the discovery of the golden island. Sure the four elephants provide a stable base on top of Arduin but you if you completely stock a plate on top of a glass only on one side it’s going to fall off even though the plate is full of soup.
For any doubters they should feel free to take a ship to the edge of the world and take a peek at the irrefutable evidence filling up your entire view before your eyes. Your could argue that the world is multidimensional since some people are known to travel the mysterious L space but it hasn’t been proven yet. Until then you can be sure that most evidence point to the obvious fact that the world sits on top of four elephants on top of the great turtle floating through space.
this is why i really like the book “shadow of the conqueror”, it takes place in a world consisting of a floating continent suspended in a seemingly infinite expanse of air, and from that the author just worked out how to justify this in cool ways and the consequences of having a world like that.
Does anyone have that map on the right? It looks cool
Oh, so it really IS intentional fantasy and not something a flat earther came up with
Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.
There have been a couple in the vein of sufficiently advanced technology
I have wanted to make a soulslike game that uses creationism lore for its world building for a while because it perfectly would fit the religious/biblical overtones I want, while also being 100% straight up fantasy with some pretty dope ideas for a fictional world.
The only thing stopping me from even starting such a project is that it is one of the few ideas I have that absolutely requires a visual touch that I can’t provide, and store bought assets would not do what I have in my head justice at all. 😮💨
You should set up a Kickstarter, send it to all the SovCit and Flat Earth Facebook pages, saying that you’re going to create a realistic SIM of flat earth, and then release a fantasy game based on all of their ideas and watch the meltdown create the best press a game has ever received before launch.
