Ough. I miss the nine worlds.

[lord-margolotta]

Nine Worlds spin-the wheel, because I think this has the potential to be utter chaos.

First spin is who's trying to kill you. Second spin is who's trying to protect you. Good luck!

How fucked are you?

I will survive and make friends in the process!

I will most likely live, maybe even with all my limbs attached!

It's conceivably possible I would survive.

Fifty-fifty

I might die

I will probably die

I will die

The Fall of Astandalas will have *nothing* on this.

one of my favorite random little details in King of Attolia is the conspiracy room. a random little room in the palace, too small and unfurnished to gather in, too fancy and out-of-the-way to use for storage--there's really nothing it's good for and no one's ever there, so of course people end up using it for clandestine little meetings. and there just happens to be a decorative latticework ceiling :) with an empty space above it :) big enough for someone to hide in :)

it's just such clever architecture/rulership/rulership mediated through architecture. we can't hope to stop nobles from having illicit meetings to discuss their treasonous conspiracies, but we can subtly encourage them to do it somewhere we can eavesdrop :)

The magazine is long defunct, so I guess it's okay to post this. Shout out to the time I managed to publish a poem with a Mechanisms quote as the epigraph.

temeraire tricking laurence & then immediately being like ‘is this wrong? i should ask laurence’…. he’s the character of all time

So the thing is, I do ship maia and csevet, but like, in a really stupid abstracted way... nothing ever happens, literally nothing, they're just Like That for fifty years and then at maia's elaborate imperial funeral one of his adult children dabs genteelly under their mourning veil, sniffs, and says 'hey so, what the fuck was the deal with csevet'

[wigglybunfish]

in which murderbot is a very normal terracotta soldier and ART the dragon spirit of a chinese junk who dwells in the ship's keel. they meet in the ming dynasty perhaps, when ppl are sailing places extra willy-nilly.

*Nüwa is the mother goddess in chinese mythology, known for creating humanity from yellow clay and repairing the sky.

thank you @mutualrapport for hosting the event! original prompt below.

[drawn for the prompt: an AU of ART and MB's first meeting and conversation - e.g. another look at their first meeting from a fantasy, historical, or (non-canon) sci-fi lens! Any perspective is fine. The only constraint is that it cannot be set in the canon universe. Any visibly non-canon AU- fantasy, human, historical, etc. - anything goes!]
