Is Synnove enjoying/getting a kick out of Alexandrian Culture being so mineral themed? OH what about the carbies? Have they met anyone with the same name as their focii (spelling?) yet?

ONE DAY I WILL ANSWER MY ASKS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY.

TOMORROW'S NOT LOOKING GOOD EITHER.

Anyway, a read more for spoilers!

Synnove was definitely vaguely amused by the theme naming present in Alexandria, but due to both A) her inherent creeped-out-ness regarding regulators and the Alexandrian cultural reaction to death (or the lack thereof); and B) the fact that all the electrope and levin means Amandina is constantly sick; she was very rarely in the Everkeep or Yyasulani and did her best to avoid being there at all beyond the events of MSQ. Her interactions with Alexandrians is basically limited to those we've explicitly met in quests.

However! 7.2 happened! And OG!Sphene at the end of MSQ mentions needing a grimoire do to her training!

CUE PROFESSOR MODE.

So Synnove has spent a lot more time in Alexandria to both assist Sphene in honing her magic and learn more about the Alexandrian arcanima tradition and how it evolved on the Ninth from the Aloalo refugees (and try not to think too hard about just how wildly different the timescales on the Source were from the Ninth). She still hasn't really interacted too much with the general populace; her discomfort about regulators just keeps getting worse, especially in light of how Calyx has used them to manipulate the populace. So, for now, she hasn't met anyone yet named Emerald, Topaz, Ruby, Pearl, or Sapphire.

(Though if @punchelf is cool with it, I may borrow his Ninth Shard version of his WoL Moni, who is named Topaz. :3)

I adore the way Stelak talks

Bless, so do I, lmao. It seems like most Roegadyn in canon have a sort of Irish/Scots-adjacent accent that can become a little grating if it isn't done extremely well, and because I consider canon to be a gentle suggestion at best, I didn't want Stelak to have that.

However.

Stelak is a working class gentleman right down to his bones, so he was never going to be one of those well-spoken, RP English cunts either, so what he seems to have become over time as I've written him is like... Black Country?? Almost?? Somewhere between that and cockney?? It's unclear. He's a mess, lmao.

God I do love him, though. 💜

PLEASE tell us where we can read some Bird Drama

if you want to READ Bird Drama, you have to join your local birding society’s facebook page, wait for the big migration seasons (early spring and late fall) and wait for someone to pull Some Bullshit.

This is nowhere near as good as expiriencing it firsthand by actually joining your local Birdwatching group and waiting for Deedee to bring up that it’s improbable that Deborah-with-an-H has seen a solitary Pinion Jay two years in a row as normally they travel in large flocks and then your tech-savvy Millenial ass can teach everyone how to look at archived photos and reverse image searches and not only has Deborah-with-an-H submitted the same photo two years in a row for her point count, the original image was taken in New mexico in 1999 by a completely different and EXTREMELY pissed off birder because Deborah’s antics have caused his local group to question his records and he ends up taking Deborah to court for violating the copyright of his wildlfile photography rights and he wins for several thousand dollars and instead of paying up Deborah runs off to vermont with the guy in the bird group she’d been cheating on her husband Ted with but Ted is cool about it because Deborah’s antics were cutting into his birding time.

so right now? join the Facebook group, and when you’re vaccinated for the plauge, join up IRL because birdwatching is genuinely enjoyable as a passtime on it’s own but the Drama is A+

Wait WHAT??? How do they end up thinking he's The Death Hand?

OH SO :)

In Fallout 1 if you have 9 luck, and are a male Vault Dweller wearing a leather jacket you have a 50/50 chance of being mistaken for Garl Death Hand's father, The Death Hand. It's just a likiness thing, but if you fuck up talking to Garl he'll realised that you're not actually his father and attack you. But it is kinda funny how the other Khans will flee from you shouting shit like

It can be assumed that its not considered canon to the lore BUT I would like to believe that it happened once to some rando before Garl and the og Khans were wiped out by the Vault Dweller

Any news on the cat with the weird ear masses?

I did post the biopsy results a couple weeks back, but basically it was “We think it’s this?.... but it looks weird, and it’s acting weird and we don’t really know for certain!”

Do you know of any blogs who make content about textile rabbits (sorry, I dont know the actual word :() like the ones that you brush/pluck the loose fluff off of and make it into yarn? For some reason I've been really wanting to read about them lately but like. In the way I read through your rabbit content, as opposed to a huge amount of info all at once.

fiber rabbits!  unfortunately i don’t know anyone off top my head who owns woolers but i know they’re out there somewhere, so angora ppl drop your urls in the notes!
