why do I make my life so much harder when writing fantasy fiction lmao

I could just use a perfectly normal 12 hour am/pm clock time like we do and then be able to name times and know everyone will be able to understand them, But No

I have to deconstruct the history of timekeeping and go "well you know there's no good reason for me to do the noon/midnight system, why don't I do a standardized dawn/dusk system instead"

....self

just make dawn and dusk idiomatic terms

two past dawn

Follow

@InspectorCaracal also no reason to use 24 hour divisions, could use any number you like

@troubleMoney I do have reason to use 24 hour divisions in this setting, actually. :3 I have another setting I use for stuff like that.

(It's very cool. 4 digit evolution instead of 5 and the world is the moon of a gas giant.)
