2025 is almost over, and I managed to get a lot done. Not as much as I would have liked, but there's been some downs this year, so that's to be expected. At the start of the year I set myself a few goals, so now it's time to see how I went. These were …

The World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Pollinators
Welcome back to the World of Green and Black. Today, we're going to learn how baby Drids are made. Pollinators were mentioned briefly in The Strongest in the Forest, but I think now's a good time to provide more information. Not too much information though. Some things are a secret, and not for Human knowledge. …

The World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Megeasus
We've done a few of these bestiary entries, and so far we haven't done any creatures from the terraformed part of the planet. Except maybe for the Towers of Knowledge, but that isn't quite the same. My first thought was to do an entry on Humans, but I still haven't settled on some important details. …

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Category Two Bugs
Last month I dropped a lot of lore with the Towers of Knowledge, this month we'll go back to basics with more bugs. One thing that inspired this world was that I feel not many alien stories address the possibility of incompatible biochemistry. The fact that life in the Green Human World and the Black …

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Category One Bugs
I'm back with another bestiary update after a little break. (Or, did I really take a break? Maybe I didn't?) There are a lot of interesting creatures I could have talked about this month, including creatures that have appeared in the novellas or been hinted at elsewhere. However, a lot of the creatures I've showcased …

Site Update – World of Green and Black Page
I would like to make a quick announcement regarding some changes to the site. Now that I have two Green and Black novellas and the Bestiary Project, I thought it would be a good idea to give this series its own page. Which you can find right here: https://jaydeholmes.com/the-world-of-green-and-black/ Currently, the World of Green and …

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Biped
Even with all the work I've been putting onto The Strongest in the Forest, I still wanted to make this month's featured creature. In this one, we're looking at another creature that plays an important role in the story. And in all World of Green and Black stories probably. A creature that Strongest's Mentor would …
