Hey geologists I need a bit of help with my worldbuilding.
So I'm adding dwarves to my setting but not your typical short stubby fleshy dudes. But rather short stubby rocky dudes. There are three types of dwarves upper crust, mid crust, and lower crust. They grow at different levels in the earth's crust and are made out of different rocks depending on what's available at that level. Like if they're closer to the surface they're made out of rocks and gems and such that naturally grow at that level.
Small issue though I have no idea what grows- forms? At those different levels farther or closer to the surface and I also don't know in what amounts. What's rare and what's common? I imagine diamonds don't grow in the same place as amethyst.
If you guys could help me out it would be much appreciated!
P.s. I did try googling it first but I couldn't find anything.
P.p.s. a visual representation like a rock map or something would be nice but is not required.
P.p.p.s. please don't be mean to me I'm not an expert on rocks I don't know exactly what to search for which is why I'm asking for help.

Obsidian is one of my longtime faves for planning and worldbuilding, and Ellipsus is very staunchly anti-AI! Here's a link to a post about it:
So because I got a slight amount of motivation for writing(wild what a lung infection will do to you) I've decided to take it up again. But I am not going to be caught dead using google drive/docs.
Are there any good alternatives? Cause when I tried to find a software that didn't train AI I literally only got results on how to avoid people detecting AI use.
hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.
my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.
but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.
here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)
as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!
best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free! EDIT: some reblogs have mentioned that you can apparently link your own personal cloud storage (dropbox, gdrive, icloud, etc.) to obsidian for free! that way you can access your obsidian vaults across multiple devices without the extra fee. i don't mind supporting the devs but just something to look into if costs is a concern.
i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.
lord help me i'm about to start another rewrite of that magic school science fantasy story with unnecessary details (which contradict each other because my memory is so bad i projected it onto the MC and now the plot revolves around her having amnesia)
Started working on my Obsidian vault again and the AuDHD is taking over.
19.7% THC - PRIMUS 3.5g for $30
The legendary Primus!!! This stuff lives up to its reputation. Has that nice Trainwreck brain effect and just gets you real high. These were super crystally too and delivered nice smooth hits. One of my top 3 now!
From leafly: Primus, also called Primus OG, is a complex indica strain that combines Arcata, Trainwreck, and303 OG. Each parent strain passes on something special to Primus: Arcata with its creative activation, Trainwreck with its long-lasting euphoria, and 303 OG with its sour fruit flavors. This trifecta of duration, fragrance, and quality of high makes for a potent hybrid cherished by patients and recreational consumers alike. For those using cannabis medicinally, consider choosing Primus for evening management of depression, anxiety, appetite loss, or pain relief.
I’ve noticed each of the ex libris portraits were inspired from real self-portraits…Maybe I’m too late to the game🥲😬 Just sharing my love of renaissance art here that’s all…

Redesigned The Actor, Creampuff and Obsidian from my original comic STRIKE again. My last redesigns were in June I think, these aren't much different but I find them to be a lot neater and less clustered. I really need to get back to writing STRIKE again and I promise I will I'm just kind of busy with theater at the moment ...
I hope you guys like the designs! What do ya think?
Obsidian and Creampuff anyone?

“And what’s your power supposed to be?” [Villain] looked down their nose at them.
“A can-do attitude and a gun.”
“Do you really think a gun is enough to stop me?”
“That’s where the can-do attitude comes in.”

“One of my Earth Science high school students is passionate about baking, adamant that she'll become a professional baker. Instead of doing a presentation to summarize her research projects, I allow her to bake what she researched. I think what she produces is amazing. Here's her obsidian cake.” - Goldraven on reddit
