well basically a kind of anachronistic au in which steam is still used to power all engines (think electricity never happened) and technology developed based on that
aesthetically speaking, artists usually stick to designs that revolve around steam machines (and gears/cog wheels but if you overdo that, it's not well-received lol) and fashion inspired by that time in which steam machines were big, i.e. roughly the Victorian age
a lot of its appeal is also thinking how steam-powered aviation would work, so there are lots of airship/airpirates stories and so on
people who live the steampunk lifestyle will probably have my head for this but yes lol imo it is. it's kind of like a fantasy theme for me, i love it a lot and i can't deny most of that comes from the visual appeal
d- does that mean you're considering this? or are you a curious nonnie and i shouldn't get my hopes up for this to actually happen? tho it already made me happy that i had the chance to talk to you about this lol
i wanted to do something for taokai plus i was curious about steampunk. i'd try....to produce something lol ;; but don't get your hopes up too much anon ;;
