Apologies if this doesn’t fit here, not sure where else to post something like this on lemmy
I think having gravity act like weather might be an interesting concept for a fantasy world, where each country has its own gravity patterns, some tend to be heavier some tend to be lighter, some are all over the place
For a few examples, there could be a desert with gravity so high you can get dragged down into the sand
Could be a country with gravity so low everyone uses personal aircraft that work like bicycles instead of land vehicles
Animals in higher gravity areas would have less dense bones, more muscle, etc and lower gravity would have far larger animals because they can support more weight
In a really high gravity area people might need exoskeletons to prevent long term damage
Sorry if someone else pointed to this already, but this could be relevant for your story:
“Unlike a body circling a single star, a planet orbiting a pair of stars would have to contend with two gravitational fields. And because the stars themselves orbit each other, the strength of the gravitational forces would constantly change.”

Ooooh and just when I’d kinda given up on a scientific explanation that works rather well
Good idea there
I’m so glad i could help!!
You wouldn’t notice any difference on the surface of the planet, though. The effects of the moon’s gravity on Earth are extreme in comparison.
Wow that would be bound to have some cool side effects. I wonder what the trees would look like
