I don’t expect much world building, but I did see pigtown as a surrogate until city of bears returned, so I do like to see consistencies, even just a little.

I can appreciate that. I like to bring these settings back too, of course, or else I wouldn’t repeat them. But for me, it’s less about consistency, or continuing a constant story arc over time, than about creating new, different versions of things, and seeing how they grow in different directions.

I think that my favorite version of Pigtown isn’t even one of my own–it was started by @rbbrpigmen in some of his captions that he did on occasion, which treats Pigtown not as a bar, but as a city neighborhood with the bar at its center. It allows characters to pass through it, changed or not, and allows for a liminal space between the normal world and Pigtown which can expand or contract over time. I did a few takes of my own in that version of the setting, and I’ve been intending to write a longer piece of some sort using that as a jumping off point, but haven’t gotten the right inspiration to tackle it, beyond those few captions I did.
