Miriam. batard_loaf on AO3. Very little original content (tagged "i did a thing"). Definitely contains: Fandom and text posts. Maybe a little bit of middle aged women.

Since we're looking at both hellsite and societal collapse, I can be best reached on Discord ( which is miri.dsc ).

I don't really use insta, but I still check my DMs there; however, it's linked to my real face & name so DM me here if you want it I guess. Or for my email, which I don't really look at but can also technically be reached there.

I don't have Bluesky, I won't use X (though I haven't deleted my accounts there yet), you only get my FB if I know you IRL, and I'm not on any other platforms (yet).

As a veteran of the LJ exodus...fuck. At least we made it over a decade.

as a lover of Women Fighting & Killing media it's so important to me when they actually let the women look like shit. you know what i mean. like im so bored when a woman is in what's supposed to be a brutal fight and her hair is just aesthetically tousled or something and her makeup is still pristine. fuck offfff. if she's beating the shit out of someone and fighting for her life she should be covered in blood n bile she should look like she got hit by a truck and the truck exploded

yes i do ship those characters but i ship them in an infinitely more aroace way than you will ever be able to comprehend

[ravioliet]

they're not "dating" they're not "a couple" they're intrinsically connected and intertwined with each other for eternity. they're bound together like the stars. get with the program

I keep beating my head against the (xenonite) wall trying to find a solid why for there to be no perceptible light level reaching the surface of Erid.

Star is too dim? No, Keid is dimmer than Sol but it is still a bright, cheerfully orange star. Atmosphere is too dense? I mean if it just kept going and going and going sure, but it doesn't. There's a rocky surface down there. Venus has roughly triple the atmospheric pressure of Erid, right? Per the measurements taken in the 70s, the surface of Venus is still receiving somewhere between 4,000-14,000 Lux. It's not pitch dark. You can still see when outside under a heavy, thick thunderstorm, right? You know your eyes can navigate a sidewalk with access to literally 1 Lux, right? Is Erid's atmosphere really that much thicker than Venus'? Or something in the atmospheric composition just absorbs that much red-orange spectrum light? Something that isn't a clear gas like ammonia and nitrogen? Is there just supposed to be that much water vapor? Something like nitrogen dioxide?

I have no issue running with the idea that their evolution zigged towards sonar instead of zagging the way ours did (early on) towards eye spots to notice day vs night. Evolution is messy. But to me, that gets framed in the novel as being due to the atmosphere more than the (ridiculously) short planetary rotation. Having distinct circadian patterns isn't as useful when the experience is closer to someone standing there flicking the switch of some dim, ambient mood lighting on and off.

But why insist zero visible light reaches the surface? Is there a reason I'm missing here? Or is this entirely a 'what if it did tho' being framed as a done deal?

As far as I'm concerned the existence of the devil wears prada 2 is entirely justified by the fact that it got ppl to make miranda/andy fanart again in 2026 which is more than I can say for every other nostalgia-bait sequel of the decade

In hindsight being a “gifted kid” is so funny. You have substantial difficulties with socializing and fine motor skills, but we’re going to ignore that because you’re really good at reading chapter books
