Read it over on Ao3 | Rating: Mature | Pairing: Reth/OC

When Valerie first arrived in Kilima, she didn't know what to expect. With no memory of her past life, she settles in among the local folk - Majiri - and decides to take things one day at a time. It's almost idyllic. Sure, she has no idea what her purpose is and she could totally do without the insta attraction thing she's got going on, but it's all good.

Slice of life.

Today we’re shipping a HEAVILY requested feature

Comments.

On.

Main.

Say goodbye to the days of draft-only comments. Now you and your collaborators can leave comments right smack in the main doc. 🥵

Commenting on the main document works the same as in drafts.

Simply highlight the text you wish to comment on -> type, style, and post 💌

Comments can be carried over from the main doc to drafts (just select keep comments) 👇… as well as merged back into the main document from drafts 😱

We’re also using the opportunity to update the titles of collaborator roles to better reflect all the things Ellipsus can do now!

Can merge -> Document editor

Can edit -> Draft editor

Can comment —> Commenter (on both main & drafts)

Can view -> Viewer

To be clear: the permissions structure isn’t changing, just the names! You can get acquainted with the new role titles here: Collaboration in Ellipsus

One thing to keep in mind when working with comments between drafts & main doc:

When merging, a comment in the draft will overwrite a comment in main linked to the same portion of text. In other words, overlapping comments = merge conflicts, so try to keep your comments spaced out.

Keep the comments rolling 😎

And for the Plus users, we've got another snazzy update for you…

Introducing: Typewriter scrolling! 📜📜

Typewriter scrolling keeps the line your typing on in a fixed spot, while the scrolling view moves around it.

Typed lines will move up the page, rather than down, as your cursor stays level, for a super steady writing experience—just like a typewriter!

To toggle on go to Editor settings -> Typewriter scrolling.

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

"For the time being, if you or someone on your crew has availability to secure black plastic bags (or something else) over the cameras, that

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

Right, okay, hi there OP I am sorry I need to borrow your post for a second. I'll give it right back, no worries.

SOOOOOO: Reth.

This is about Reth. He is 100% that character because he literally tells you he is trouble. He tells you he has a bad reputation. And he does. And yes, being with him brings some troublesome dynamics because of his work but Reth?

Reth isn't dangerous.

Reth isn't the bad guy.

He is far from it. He was the jittering young boy, gritting his teeth, hoping that one day what he does bring him enough money to be able to stop doing what he does. And he's not that young anymore but apart from that, he is still that same person. He craves loves and affection, he gets flustered and anxious and he wants nothing more than for everyone to be happy. Even if he isn't. He is far from being a terrible person and yet he believes he is because of the things he's forced to do.

Gosh, my poor baby. I just want him to be free. Not just from the [redacted because spoilers] but also after [redacted] has done this big thing for him in the L5 quest...I want him to feel free to finally find that person again that doesn't have to constantly adapt and survive.

Okay bye. You can have your post back. I just needed to vent about my baby again.
