    Default Applying physical anthropology to fiction... Am I the only one?

    Because I am such a nerd (and dork), I apply my passion for physical anthropology to fiction. I make fictional people who inhabit fictional places, and make linguistic and genetic connections. I even throw in Apricity jokes (as far as certain looks these people have) for fun at times. LOL. I also throw in somewhat racist themes, but only as a joke, not 100% serious. For instance, me and my cousin created a nation called Munpai, derived from Moonpie, which is a society based off of African Americans. . LOL! I know, I am terrible.

    I can show some of these ideas, lol.

    J. R. R. Tolkien and all those who came after him. Altought he did it in a more "religious" way. I've done it, too, but in a more crude way, like inventing differents planets and imagining the evolution of the dominant species and its races that would have different characteristics, logically, to fit their needs, culture, societies, etc. I'm kinda of a nerd, too.
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

    I'm going to invent a planet based on s. italians where the people have a big hooked nose instead of a head and communicate solely through gesticulation.

    Making up imaginary factions with armies and fighting them was something me and my siblings did when we were 7-8 years old.

    I think for you to do that at 19 years old is a little odd.
