Silverlight Co. HR Guidelines to the Cosmere

Welcome. This document is mandatory for any position within this company. This list will include guidelines for interactions, as well as specific rules to respect. - Rosharans see promises as incredibly significant to them. Do not make one if you are not guaranteed to be able to uphold it, and see any promise they make as a sign of great respect. - Spren are exempt from any task requiring Physical Realm activities due to their inability to manifest proper physical form. If you are seen disparaging them due to this inability, you will be terminated without notice. - Do not mention to Scadrians that heavy metal poisoning is a thing. They probably are aware, and it can affect them. - In case of an allomancer ingesting a metal that they are not capable of "burning", please call our Emergency Response team to administer medical aid. - Avoid commenting on a Threnodite's silver jewelry. You would do the same in their case. If you are a Shade, please notify your immediate supervisor for accommodations. - Kandra will ask you for your bones. This is a sign of respect. If you agree, the company will not be responsible for any legal claim the Kandra states in court after your death. - If a Kandra takes the form of one of your loved ones without proper documentation, please submit a request to HR. The company does not guarantee any success with this. - The people of Canticle tend to be in the office at night due to their planet's hostile temperature during the day affecting their circadian rhythm. This is perfectly fine, as long as proper quotas are met within allotted time. - Company arts and crafts nights are every thursday at 6. We invite all Forgers, as well as Komashi natives, to avoid Invested Arts during these sessions, as there may be unintended side effects. This is for the good of your coworkers. - Dragons are not permitted to take full draconic form within any floor except the 17th floor for the sake of not disrupting others. It is specially designed to accommodate draconic physiology. - Flight is not permitted within the airspace of the company building. This applies, but is not limited to, draconic flight, the Surge of Gravitation, Steelpushing and Ironpulling, as well as any aonic applications resulting in air travel. - Awakening is not permitted on any item that is offered by the company, as well as on any item that is not owned by the awakener. Any awakened item that does not respect this policy will be confiscated, as well as the associated Breaths, until a meeting can be arranged. - Sleepless hordes are limited to one main body and 2 roaming hordeling within the company building. We also invite Sleepless to inform themselves with their immediate supervisor of entomophobic people, or any native to The Grand Apparatus.

[real-language-facts]

[real-language-facts]

invented the joke too. imbetter than eveybody

[canmom]

this popped up in suggested and doesn't seem to have reached a really wide audience yet. 'Lazuli' made this incredibly polished and stylish fan animation for 'RTRT' by Mili about a scientist/chef adopting a jiangshi -really cool looking back on their channel and seeing their blender skills evolving over the years too. the lighting and designs here are really exceptional and it's especially impressive for a team size of just two people. it's a pretty direct interpretation of the events of the song but with a lot of care in adding little details and expression

allow me to paint you a picture

you're at a family gathering, the first big reunion you're old enough for people to actually treat you like a sentient being and you start actually getting to know all of the sides of your relatives' personalities, not just the kid-friendly ones

then you glance over to the corner of the room and you see a guy

you think he's your uncle but you're not really sure. you don't know is name, and as you ask around, everyone just refers to him as "THAT one" or "oh, HIM." you don't think anyone actually knows his name, but somehow he's managed to piss them all off.

you've seen him around a few times before - he always seems to show up to important events, like weddings, baby showers, family funerals, and the occasional seasonal party - but he's often in the background so you've never thought to go speak to him.

you sidle over to him and drop a little "hey...?"

as he looks up, you notice his eyes are kinda unfocused.

you also notice his hair (which you thought was black) has a dye which is running slightly, and it's actually... white? he doesn't look THAT old...?

you spy the drink in his hand and take it away to try and goad him into a conversation. he makes eye contact again, and you see such a... depth in his eyes. as if he's seen things wilder and more heartbreaking and funnier and crazier than you could EVER imagine.

he mumbles something along the lines of "a letter... how could i have expected anything else from that storming woman..."

you ask him about it, and he tells you off for prying. his business is his business.

you begin to turn around and he calls you back by name. you never introduced yourself.

he gives you a wink, and drops a nugget of metal into your hand, telling you to... eat it??? huh???

he says his work is done, and you manage to ask his name and what that nugget of metal was.

he says you can call him Ceph, and that the metal is all that's left of an old friend of his... some guy called Leras?

he then turns around and walks out the door, and he almost gets shorter as he does. you hear a slight humming coming from his shirt as he leaves the room, and he chuckles and mumbles something back to it.

those names he gave sounded very weird, and you manage to force the metal down. you go back to his spot and see a slip of paper:

Iron filings are pretty tasty by the way. See you around, do stop by Scadrial sometime and say hi to your old 'uncle'! - Hoid

who the fuck is Hoid, what the fuck is a Scadrial and why is he invading the function

Honestly, when I first read it, I thought that word was shit, too.

[ieattaperecorders]

Trying to find an old tumblr post I used to see a lot.

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

It was the first time I'd seen the term "liminal" applied to places like that, and it's driving me crazy, I want to find and put a date on it so bad.

[ieattaperecorders]

NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT!!!

[ieattaperecorders]

Holy shit I just realized:

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

LIMINAL SPACES TURN TEN TOMORROW! CELEBRATE BY GETTING LOST IN AN ABANDONED MALL!

grover, watching percy and annabeth play with estelle: so like… hypothetically, i wonder what you two would be like as parents?

annabeth: that is not gonna happen for a long time, grover

grover: well yeah, obviously. you guys are too young

percy: when have we ever lived age appropriate lives? no, the issue is that i’m poor. i can’t afford the damn thing

annabeth, trying not to laugh: well, and because we want to live normal lives as college students for once

percy: and because i have no money

annabeth: it would really stress out sally and paul

percy: because they also have no money

annabeth: and it’s just not the life we want for our future kids right now

percy: because we would be homeless

[the-evil-skull]

The cool thing about death note is you could feasibly explain the basic premise of it like the mechanics of the note and also L and lights weird homoerotic shit and you would have a pretty good idea of what the entire plot is like without ever having to explain the terrifying floating clown monster

[totally-cis-offical]

Yeah the terrifying death god who looks like a clown, likes apples, and follows you at all times

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

He is just hanging out

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#does he actually do anything the entire show#i watched the first episode and it was boring. so i stopped#but from what i coudl tell he really jast didnt do shit ever

He really didn't. He will very occasionally do something very minor if it helps him (like when Light's house is under surveillance and he can't eat apples inside any more, he finds all the cameras hoping for a blind spot where he can eat apples), but on the whole it's a massive victory for Light to get him to do anything at all. He really is just there to watch and heckle because he had nothing else going on.
