    -Marble
    -aestetic is more important then anything

    You know the funny thing is I'm guilty of an even worse cheat than the swimming pool trick.
    I layer paper textures over the map to make it look like an old whethered atlas spread map, like literally just rip stock pictures of paper off the internet, make them JUUUUUST opaque enough to be visible when on top of the map drawing, and then just stretch and pull them to whatever dimensions the map is. Without fail, makes the drawing look like a printout from an old textbook.

  • @bordenfleetwood5773
    @bordenfleetwood5773 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Let's be real. When it comes to ancient borders, the actual locations of boundaries and border lines really depended on which cartographer you were asking, which king they worked for, and what part of the year it was when they actually published it.
    No one really respected borders *at* the border, disputes were frequent and difficult to resolve, and everyone who commissioned a map of the area wanted to make *their* territory look just the tiniest bit better than it actually was.
    So unless it's a river or ocean coast, and some of the more immutable terrain features, a "best effort" approach will usually suffice. Especially when dealing with temporal spans of more than a decade or so.

    Hey, red! Trope talk suggestion for you; "The noodle incident" or "Noodle incidents" are a literary tool that gives more literary weight to an event or mcguffin than a description would, mostly by context and the reader's imagination.
    Named because of a short series of Calvin and Hobbes comics wherein everyone at school gives the eternally frustrated 6-year-old grief about something he did in the past that is now known only as "The noodle incident." It is hinted at vaguely many times, but the writer ultimately leaves it up to your imagination; which is a strength because whatever the audience dreams up will be way more literarily impactful (in this case funny) than anything he could write down. And that's not even the only time that comic uses a noodle incident, see, there's this kids book calvin always wants read called "Hampster Hewwy and the Gooey Kablooey" and Now I'm ranting.
    Another instance this trope is used is in an S.C.P. story wherein a certain slime MUST NEVER come into contact with a human corpse. Why? That's classified. A foundation researcher files the suggestion to test the slime on a human corpse because it's never listed what happens, only that it is a V E R Y bad idea, and the researcher is curious. He gets demoted and heavily scolded by an O-5, who states "Just don't."
    A "Noodle Incident" is a rare trope that involves telling the audience that something exists or happened, but not telling them what it was, in order to give the plot point more narrative weight than a description would give it, partly because of the imaginations of the audience. It is a great trope that I think you should cover.

    Was literally making a dnd map in worldographer when I saw the notification for this. Blue always loved your maps and thank you for making this.

    Whenever Blue sees any architecture that's marble, he does the red glowing eyes thing.

    Yay! I have been so very much curious about how the maps were made. I've been drawing, and off and on collecting, maps for as long as I can remember, and OSP maps are seriously nice.
    (I actually lost my biggest map collection to water damage when I was a teenager - I had nautical and aeronautical charts, USGS section maps, over a hundred NatGeo maps, road maps of half the states in the US and Canada, a couple Mexican road maps - big collection. I miss it.)

    As a person who got OSP obsessed and watched every released video over the course of a month when I first learned of the channel during the pandemic, yes, the maps have improved over time, but they always showed and told what was most needed

    I have an idea for a Trope Talks video: Red should publish a video for Birthday Tropes on the day of her birthday to make it fit better, and talk about how birthdays work in the Media and even some real life experiences with Red's birthdays that fit in this video. Ex: Characters pretending to not know today is their birthday to surprise them, special episodes that involve a birthday, ageless birthday, and whatever else tropes you would like to add on.
