Good Worldbuilding, Summarized

Of course, depending on the author, there is at most a 30% chance that that llama actually will explain anything.

One must remember, to a llama, spitting on somebody is explaining, so there's a 100% chance of an explanation.

You just may not like it much.

The llama might be talking to the reader or the author… and in both cases that 30% rule certainly applies

You found this image when you PM'd me and had to make a blog post about it, eh?

It's a really good image!

And a 30% chance that a later llama will reveal most if not all of what this llama told you is a lie.

Ah, yes. This has recently become my favorite nugget of wisdom, to the point that I put it in my bio.
"Don't frontload the backstory".

I'm just happy you can differentiate between a llama and an alpaca. But apparently I should be thanking someone else...

Also a 50% chance of the llama eating your hands if its wearing a hat.

I agree. If it doesn't concern the current moment... I don't need to know about it. It'll just weigh down the fic with exposition.
