Okay but consider: ASTRONOMY LESBIANS

This specific post is going to be me gushing over the astronomy potential Touka and Nemu have with each other and why it makes me feral, it's more me pointing out some things than any actual analysis. Still, here you go, have fun!

So, this is the thesis: Touka is the sun/day and Nemu is the moon/night.

First of all, night and day are intrinsically connected. The sun's light gives the moon its glow during the night and the moon remains present and visible during the day, if a little harder to see in the full light of the sun. The former sounds an awful lot like how Touka gave Nemu visibility to the general public through the website for her books and continues to do so on the regular, dutifully, and the latter is to me the same effect as any scene they're in together; everyone in-universe and outside of it always pays more attention to Touka, because she's the more boisterous one, louder, etc. The radiant sun, too bright to ignore compared to the soft glow of the moon.

Now, I love the moon's effect on the oceans on Earth. Its control over the tides is due to its gravity being strong enough that the tide is pulled slightly closer to it. If you look at when the tides are highest, you'll see that tides are always highest when the moon is directly overhead, but there's also another high tide on the opposite side of the planet. If you mapped it out, you'd get this oval shape of the tides, where a "tip" of the oval is always pointing at the moon. Well guess what, the SUN also does this! It's just less noticeable, but it's why low tide doesn't always happen when you think it would. And since they both do this, their effects can be combined! This is why the highest of tides always occur around full and new moons, with the effects being even stronger during lunar eclipses, and with solar eclipses being the strongest of them all, which probably added to the effect of ancient civilizations freaking out during them cause the tide was so high, it just added to the chaos of the sun being blocked out too. Tides are highest about the full and new moons because that is when the moon and the sun are lined up. Gee doesn't that sound familiar and like it could apply to a certain pair of idiots who work really well together (as per Ui's words).

Here's a helpful visual gif for the tide thing and some quotes from the National Ocean Service:

Together, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun affect the Earth’s tides on a monthly basis. When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides — both commonly called spring tides. One week later, when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, the solar tide partially cancels out the lunar tide and produces moderate tides known as neap tides.

And as a fun extra:

Once a month, at perigee, when the moon is closest to the Earth, tide-generating forces are higher than usual, producing above average ranges in the tides. About two weeks later, at apogee, when the moon is farthest from the Earth, the lunar tide-raising force is smaller, and the tidal ranges are less than average. When the Earth is closest to the sun (perihelion), around January 2 of the calendar year, tidal ranges are enhanced. At aphelion, when the Earth is furthest from the sun, around July 2, tidal ranges are reduced

So like. I don't think I need to point out the moon's distance from the sun and its effects here. Now let me go to something else: Touka and Nemu have a dual unit, the attribute of which is darkness. Here's a tidbit about it that I yoinked from another post:

Your pupils contract in response to visible light, but not all of the sun’s light is visible. During an eclipse, your pupils widen because it’s dark, but there’s an outer layer around the sun that mostly only puts out light that’s not visible to us, but that can still damage your retinas. Thus, looking at an eclipse makes your pupils open up like it’s dark, which lets more of the invisible damage beams in. The sun doesn’t get a critical multiplier on its damage when HP is low. Equipping the moon gives the sun a bonus to backstab.

And then I pointed out the dual unit and its attribute, like an eclipse. Such an apt metaphor. Now, this isn't all, though the astronomy rant is far less connected and organized than the other more essay-ish posts, but I just wanted to cover at least some of the bond things before I yell about why each of them fits their assigned astral body/time so well. Actually... Let's consider the solar wind for a second.

So, for those with less astronomy knowledge, here are the basics. The sun releases a continuous outflow of particles and radiation that we call the solar wind. The solar wind washes over the planets, moons and other bodies in our solar system, and every object, planet or person traveling through space has to contend with this. Our moon in particular has the scars (or bad tan) to prove it. Ever wondered what gives the moon that distinctive pattern of darker and lighter swirls? That would be the sun over there. Or, well, research suggests that the solar wind and the moon’s crustal magnetic fields (bubbles of "sunscreen") work together to give that pattern. See, here on Earth, we’re largely protected from the damaging effects of the solar wind, because it's magnetized, therefore Earth’s natural magnetic field deflects the solar wind particles around our planet so that only a small fraction of them reach our planet’s atmosphere. The moon however has no global magnetic field. It's magnetized rocks near the lunar surface that create those small, localized spots of magnetic field that I referred to as "bubbles of sunscreen" up there, because they kinda are acting like sunscreen by deflecting solar wind particles on a much smaller scale than Earth’s magnetic field. The surface of the moon isn't really made of "just rock" (it's called regolith, actually), and so as those particles flow toward the moon, they are deflected to the areas just around the magnetic bubbles, where chemical reactions with the regolith darken the surface. And there is Something To Be Said about this, something intimate about it... Something something accepting every part of someone else, something something being permanently marked and irreversibly changed by another (I've called them twin flames before)...

Here are some points to consider, particularly for Nemu:

They spend more time under the light of day (Touka, early riser, "rise with the sun" is very likely literal for her since she gets up long enough before school time to have more than enough time to do Things as per her quotes) vs awake at night (Nemu habitually staying up late to read and write, we have many lines about it particularly from the quotes, and a visual from the anime).

Nemu has been depicted dramatically in front of the moon twice, once in her intro in Arc 1 Chapter 7 and once in the anime, I believe final season's first episode? The flashback, right after they put Ui in Mokyu and have the whole exchange about it on the roof of the hospital.

In relation to the phases of the moon: as the moon goes around the Earth, different parts of it are illuminated by the sun, and we see a different amount of light reflected back at us, and I have decided that relates to how Nemu adapts seamlessly to whatever Touka's mood is because she just knows her that well (gestures vaguely at that sunset scene in Touka's MGS or any of the other times when Nemu knows it's not the right time to take a jab at Touka and so on and so forth), but honestly there's a huge number of gay interpretations of it. AND it's accurate to the way Nemu acts as a Magius, kind of, when it comes to the Feathers at least. People normally remember her as the Magius who was kindest to the Feathers (full moon, brightest guiding light), but she was also the one doing the brainwashing, giving the massacre orders, and delighting over her suggestion of using the Feathers as a shield (new moon, known as the dark side).

Feelings of being neglected/ignored/not noticed by passersby or people around her could be related to how the new moon is, literally Not Visible™️ to the naked eye except when it is silhouetted against the sun during a solar eclipse (COUGH). Plus, you could argue the fact that people love Nemu most when she's giving them something (light, full moon).

In terms of giving, let's hop over to Touka for a second:

The sun is constantly giving off energy. Light, heat, life. It's quite impossible to forget the sun is there, unlike the moon (or well it's more like you always sort of actively notice the sun, but not the moon due to its subtler presence). Aligns pretty well with Touka's.......... everything. Including the compulsion to take center stage. There is nothing else in the sky besides the sun during the day, it is alone in the heavens save for the subtle presence of the moon, which nobody else notices.

Then there's this post which I will quote here:

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so "bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are. Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

ALIGNS PRETTY WELL WITH TOUKA DOESN'T IT. Almost a little bit too literal in some senses! Being bright and warm does apply to her as well, mind you, she's bright in the intelligent sense and to some extent the temperament sense (though she is a lot less bright than she pretends to be with the very eerie cheerful mask she likes to wear), and she's warm and nurturing towards the people she cares about. Speaking of warm and nurturing, the sunlight makes plants grow, Nemu is a forest attribute in-game and has forest magic, nurtured by the fire of the sun (Touka, a flame attribute magical girl with the corresponding fire magic).

I've compared these two to binary stars in a fic before, but I really love their sun/day and moon/night possibilities! You can even interpret a few things like this:

Under a scorching sun, you are blinded, and in deserts caused by its rays you are likely to experience hallucinations, mirages. I can relate this to Touka's mask-wearing habits, for example. The sun is unyielding and you will never escape its effects completely no matter how hard you try. It's what allows life to exist and simultaneously also a force of destruction, much like fire itself. I could go on a related rant about how TouNemu's attributes really really fit them- I will stop myself before I do however.

Back to Nemu's side of things again. The night is often considered the most dangerous time of day pretty much everywhere around the world, but that's not quite right. It's because the night is obscured in darkness, quiet, secretive. You cannot know the night. It's fully possible that something will jump out at you at any point (assuming you're out and about), and you can never be 100% sure that nothing will. You have a higher chance of slipping, and good god if you've ever been outside in bumfuck nowhere with no lights around in the mountains or something on a new moon, you know very well how difficult navigation becomes without the moon's guidance

But, the night, especially in the East, is often considered shelter as well (from what I've gathered). The quietness aspect is retained over there, but it's seen in a more positive light, and the different attributes of the nighttime are more appreciated and respected compared to the West, in my experience digging into stuff at least. The night can easily be what soothes people after enduring the flames of the day. Whether literally because of the heat or just because for most people, daytime is work time, it's Getting Things Done time. Nighttime has always been more… for the self, to relax and to think. More intimate. Humans don't really work according to nature these days, but pieces of it are still present in how the night remains much quieter than the day, in how a teenager might feel safer, more raw and more connected with their true self in the dead of night on their phone under the covers than at any other time of the day, etc. It's a time of rest for a majority of living beings. Slower and less hectic than the daytime.

"What about those who are up at ungodly hours of the night still having hours-long conversations?" That's meaningful. It's necessary for the human mind, for our hearts. That's rest. It constitutes a "shelter" for the people in question. Those convos I'd bet are not about work or about stressors in their lives, but rather about things they find genuinely interesting and/or things they love. Or, alternatively, venting, yes, but even that counts as "unwinding" and reaching something closer to peace.

There's also something to be said about how Touka relies on Nemu so often (she says as much in her regular Tap 8 quote), and looks to her for guidance like the sailors of old looked up at the night sky for directions. Nemu is drawn to Touka like the moon is affected by the sun's gravity, and Touka loves her and studies her (she REALLY pays attention to Nemu, as I've pointed out before) like humans have always studied and observed the night sky.

AND also Touka = lantern, light. Nemu = sleep. Just saying.

COUGH. Yes. So. This has been my series of thoughts on TouNemu astronomy lesbianism. I'm pretty sure you can see how each point relates to the characters pretty clearly.

Best Greetings

Planets Data Analysis Is The Best Astrophysics Research Method

I use the planets data analysis to discover the planets creation and motion facts–

the method is a simple one – as they use anatomy to study a creature body- and also use the generics for more detailed study about this creature– I use Planets data analysis to discover the planets creation and motion rules and facts.

means– I use the analysis of Planet diameter, mass, orbital distance, period, velocity, inclination, rotation period, axial tilt and all its data to discover this planet creation and motion facts - Let's use one example to explain how this method works

Example No. (1)

I asked (How Is Planet Data Created?) – Means – (How is Planet diameter, mass, orbital distance, period, velocity, inclination, rotation period and axial tilt created?

The book answers (Planet data is created by random process, initial conditions and historical unknown factors)

Shortly – the book tells no any geometrical rule or reason be found behind Any Data

Here – I Use The Planet Data Analysis To Test This Idea –

And

I have discovered 5 equations can conclude the planets data – my first equation defines each planet orbital distance- and my second and third equations define planet velocity- and – my fourth equation defines each planet diameter as a function in its velocity and rotation period - my fifth equation analyzes planet velocity.

By these equations – the solar planets data can be summarized in following ……

Based on the planets velocities rates the planets diameters, masses, velocities and inclinations are defined and

Based on the planets velocities square rates the planets orbital distances are defined, and - Based on the planets velocities cubic the planets orbital periods are defined

Means

The planets (all) data can be concluded theoretically by my five equations –

Shortly

By one data only (Mercury orbital distance = 57.9 million km) and by my five equations I can conclude all planets orbital distances, periods, velocities, inclinations, Diameters, Masses, rotation periods and axial tilts – all data can be concluded theoretically by mathematical calculations only and with need for any observation

But – The book tells (Random Process)

If the data is created by (random process) how can be concluded Theoretically?

The book is mistaken.

I wish I explained the massive support for my research- by this support – I can review the book and tell the book is wrong in some points - because – I don't put my ideas – I put the planets data

Briefly

The planets data analysis method puts the theory in comparison with the planets data to know if the theory tells a fact –

NOTICE

The planet data can be concluded theoretically because the data is created based on exact equations (my five equations)- this fact is a simple one and the industry of the airplane or rocket can help us because the designer of any airplane or rocket needs to use exact equations to define this airplane length, width, weight and all data otherwise this airplane can't fly safely – similar to that – the moving planet under the physics laws has to define its data based on exact equations to move safely

Example No. (2)

Why Is The Orbital Apogee Radius = 406000 Km?

The moon daily displacement =88000 km and during 29.53 days (the moon day period) the displacements total be = 2.598 million km = 2π x 413600 km

The data tells us the moon orbital apogee radius should be 413600 km and also it tells, because the moon daily displacement (88000 km) is so long, the moon should revolve around the Earth through this apogee orbit its radius (413600 km) only and can't revolve around the Earth through any more near orbit…

Not Facts

The moon orbital apogee radius =406000 km only and the moon revolves around the Earth through near orbits and can reach to perigee radius (363000 km).

How Can The Moon Do That?

The intelligent moon creates an angle (θ) between its motion direction and its orbit horizontal level by that the real displacement (L) through the orbit be less than (88000 km) because it be (L = 88000 km cos θ), as a result the total displacements be less than (2.598 million km) and that makes the moon orbital apogee radius to be decreased from 413600 km to 406000 km.

We should pay attention for the angle (θ), because this angle controls the moon motion features – where- with the angle (θ) increasing the real displacement (L) be shorter and the moon can revolve around the Earth through more near orbits – but –with the angle (θ) deceasing the real displacement (L) be longer and that pushes the moon far from the Earth to more far orbits.

The moon orbital motion depends on this angle (θ) it tells θ1 = θ0 +1.7

where (θ1) = today angle and (θ0) =yesterday angle

1.7 degrees be used as the moon daily motion degrees for the equation

Shortly

The planets data analysis puts the planet data in comparison with the theory to test the theory ideas

Example No. (3)

Can Mars Itself Cause The Earth Moon Creation?

Giant-impact hypothesis tells (NO) – but let's see the planets data analysis

I Suppose - Mars Original Orbit Was Between Mercury And Venus

The order (Mercury – Mars – Venus – Earth) shows correct order in planets diameters, and orbital distances (and masses)

BUT – Mars had migrated from its original orbit (between Mercury and Venus) to its current one (227.9 million km) and Mars had collided with Venus and then with the Earth in its migration motion – and Mars itself has caused the Earth moon creation.

My Mars Migration Theory answers many left questions by Giant-Impact Hypothesis – for example -

Why Does Venus Have No Moon?

Mars had migrated from its original orbit (between Mercury and Venus) – and moved to its current orbit (227.9 million km) – BUT- Mars had moved by a force – and then Mars had collided with Venus –and Mars had pushed ALL DEBRIS with it in its Motion Direction because of its strong motion

Venus had found no debris around and for that Venus couldn't create its moon

But –

The Earth mass is greater than Venus' and the debris lost some of their momentum for that the Earth could attracted some debris and created its moon.

Mars has 2 moons and this fact supports my theory because Mars with small mass could attract two moons because the debris were around it while Venus has greater mass but couldn't create its own moon because the debris are moved with Mars motion.

The rest debris are attracted by Jupiter gravity and created the asteroid belt

Notice

My five equations tests and discussions are in point no. (4) of this paper

The moon orbital motion analysis is in point no. (14) of this paper

Mars Migration theory is in point no. (14) of this paper

The refutation of Newton theory of the sun gravity is in point (3) of this paper

aITa for banning my best friend from my hive?

i was injured one (1) bilunar perigee ago. my friend has not been handling IT very well.

he is:

teal.

nine (9) sweeps.

stubborn.

impulsive.

foolish.

the best troll i have ever met.

i am:

yellow.

nine (9) sweeps.

a loser with a smart mouth

unable to defend myself when things get physical.

i enjoyed:

his attention.

his company.

being walked back to my hive.

i did not mind:

the unscheduled food deliveries.

him acting as like he was glued to my side in public.

i only sort of minded:

the overprotectiveness.

that ridiculous mediculler kIT he started carting around.

that most of the messages i have received from him since have been encouraging platITudes.

...but then every time he came to my hive he dITched our plans to help clean and i felt like i had to draw a fucking line.

to clear up some possible misconceptions:

"help" is a misnomer. evidently i have been barred from any actual participation beyond relaxing and giving orders. attempts to make him see reason have been met with several cordial invITations to go fuck myself.

i am not a slob.

yes. i know the stereotype. we all know the stereotype. every troll and their lusus has heard of the yellowbloods on AN EXPLOITATIVE VIEWING OF THE HIVES OF TROLLS WHO DO NOT CLEAN DUE TO THEIR STRONG EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TO INANIMATE OBJECTS OR VARIOUS OTHER WOES. my hive is not like that. i am not like that.

my respITeblock was by far the worst block in my hive. IT had a very scattered mess which took up a total of 2 square imperial unITs. this represented just 4.9% of available floorspace. the vast majority of this was clothing. the actual garbage consisted of:

one (1) paper bag containing one (1) ITemized record of purchase. one (1) empty burger wrapper. seven (7) left over fries.

one (1) plastic bag containing one (1) empty bottle and one (1) article of clothing i would have given my life's savings to never let him know i owned. (he helpfully retrieved IT for me prior to disposal. cull me.)

two (2) folded slices of absorbency paper.

one (1) unidentifiable book my lusus had eaten a very large hole through.

after he ran out of the larger messes he moved on to the smaller ones. then he started washing my laundry. then he started cleaning the dishes. IT got to the point where i could not so much as leave a dirty nutrITion plateau visible in my meal block wIThout IT becoming an imperial fucking issue. i finally told him to stop coming over. my reasons were as follows:

IT was becoming very obvious from his behavior that he now considers me to be too incompetent for even the most basic tasks. i was concerned my hivekeeping was a factor.

i can not keep up wITh all of the work IT takes to keep the place up to his standards. have you ever tried to maneauver a scourdray after losing a leg? miserable experience.

he has enough going on without cleaning up my messes for me.

i want him to be comfortable at my hive. if i can not make that happen he should not have to be here.

i had hoped things would go back to normal after this but ever since i brought IT up he has been:

quiet.

distant.

terse.

i am very worried i have hurt him. i want to know:

was there a better solution?

how do i fix this?

aITa?

So I've just watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks (and it was fun!) and there's this spell that goes "Filigree apogee pedigree perigee" that turns people into white rabbits, and it kept making me think of Rabbit!Roger and Human!Jessica, and I liked it.

I LOVE BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS SO SO SO MUCH IT IS ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA MOVIES (and also the book, while different, is very good).

I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you thought of them!

...I should see that movie again, actually.

4. Safety -> Thiomi

"Ya know, yer gonna have ta stop hidin' an' go back ta yer hive eventually."

The sudden statement as Thiomi sat reading on Corali's back while she did push-ups caused the smaller troll to immediately stiffen up and almost drop her book. Corali was completely unshaken and casually continued her push-ups.

"What are you... I'm not hiding," Thiomi said with a defensive edge in her tone. Corali shook her head with a loud sigh.

"Y'ain't gotta lie, 'specially not ta me," she stated, which only caused Thiomi to fluster. She gripped her book tightly in her hands and bit her lip. "Ya think I ain't noticed ya haven't spent a day at yer hive ever since all that happened? I wouldn't a thought much of it if it was just a couple nights, maybe even a week, but it's been... what, over a perigee by now?"

"... We're moirails now. I can't leave you to deal with this alone," Thiomi reasoned after a few tense moments of hesitation. Corali paused her exercise and turned her head toward her moirail. She couldn't see much of her from this angle, but she could feel the woman's anxiety.

"Yeh, see, that mighta held water when I was laid up an' unable ta move, but I been mobile fer weeks, an' we both know Dan could easily take care a me himself even though he'd a been a smug asshole about it. Anyone can see why yer still here. Yer scared ta go home on account a--"

"Do you blame me?" Thiomi tersely interrupted as she closed her book and stood up. Corali moved into a casual sitting position and looked up at her moirail with concern. She wouldn't look Corali in the face, but she didn't have to for her to know how upset she was. She stood with her head low and her shoulders hunched and squared with tension, and her hands holding the book tightly to her chest were slightly shaking.

"Do you blame me for being afraid? The last time I was at my hive, I was kidnapped... who s-says this is over? That it can't happen again, and s-she'll have me killed this time? S-she can get to me at any time if I'm there, and I... I'm no fighter. I didn't even get the chance to defend myself before I was bagged and cuffed and carried away. At... A-at least here with y-you and Danny, I'm s-safe."

Thiomi's shoulders hitched, and her voice became gradually more uneven and strained. A whimper escaped her, and Corali was on her feet immediately. She threw her arms around her and held her close. Thiomi tried to swallow her tears, but within seconds she dropped the book and returned to tight embrace.

"I'm s-so s-scared! I can't be alone there! I'm s-safe as long as I'm with you two!" she cried and whimpered as she clung to her moirail. "I just want to feel s-safe again!"

"An' ya will, cuz I'ma move in with ya," Corali said matter-of-factly. The sudden bold statement was enough to make Thiomi pause her crying and stare up at her.

"Corali, no, I... I can't ask you to do that."

"Yer not askin'. I'm telling ya. I'm movin' in. I'm pretty much hiveless anyways since I can't go back ta mine, an' between you an' me, I'm gettin' sick a dealin' with Dan's shit every god dang night. If I don't get a break, I'ma kill him."

"But--"

"Noo, no, no, y'ain't talkin' me outta this. Yer scared a livin' alone, so I'm stayin' 'til ya feel safe again, an' ya can't change my mind. I got a new arm that's better than ever, an' with my psionics there ain't nothin' that can hurt me. 'Sides, I'm yer pale. I'd be doin' a damn shitty job if I didn't help ya feel less afraid," Corali insisted and ruffled Thiomi's hair a little roughly but affectionately. Thiomi wiped her eyes and took a few breaths to calm herself before ending the embrace and picking up the discarded book.

"S-so you admit you like your new arm," she pointed out, and Corali's confident expression immediately fell upon realizing she did, in fact, highly compliment her arm. She made a noise between an annoyed huff and a scoff and crossed her arms before poking her lip out and looking away.

"Ya know what, I changed my mind. I ain't goin'. Yer on yer own," Corali said with a grumble and a pout like a petulant child that earned a small giggle from her moirail. Corali tried and failed not to smile then once again reached out and messily ruffled Thiomi's hair. "Hmph, laughin' at me, huh?"

"Nooo, never...~"

"I ain't sure I believe ya, li'l miss thing. I-- No, noo, not the big sad eyes! Put them things away 'fore I curl up an' die!" Corali shouted in mock agony. The two women broke down into laughter at each other's ridiculousness before Corali finally grabbed the bag with most of her belongings Dantli was able to take from her hive while pretending to rob the place.

Elzika does Azra have anything she personally owns instead of just the library contents? Especially curious about books

"I don't think there's many books she's laid claim to herself, however she does have a growing collection of... things in the attic."

It should be noted, he very much wants to call it junk.

"Gifts, clothes, and... some things that I fear may need to be thrown out in the future. Maybe during spring cleaning. It's in a dragon's nature to hoard things, but I've never seen one lay claim over literal trash... It's fine, for the time being, but as I said, I'll probably toss some of it in a couple perigees."

Little Thing

Outskirts of Silverpool | 9.7 sweeps ago | Crista

One of Alternia’s smaller islands still commands a disproportionate amount of power, an ancient stronghold of the empire from which several of its campaigns to conquer the planet were launched millennia hence.

It is a region where the empire’s heel is felt strongly, yet it is also a place full of the planet’s other, lesser known inhabitants, its fae and spirits, ghosts that linger for centuries in its ruins.

Many stories well from its grand cities, carried along by the currents of its ancient rivers. Countless more spring from its quieter, humbler locations, places tucked away from the hustle and bustle of its shipping routes and train tracks.

Places where the inhabitants sometimes tried to overthrow the yoke of the spectrum.

They felt it in their constant conscriptions, their calloused and bleeding hands, in the shortages that never ended. Their lusii, shot and killed for highblood sport. Their hives, where they could see their breath in the midst of the dark season.

Sometimes they answered with psiionic sparks and weaponry.

Always they were obliterated.

Shortly after this has happened again, something new does.

Someone new does.

–

Once there had been rebels in its confines, and once there had been no craters around the town of Silverpool, but neither of those things were true anymore.

Instead it had a new lord, for it was an old town, and nobles were expected to live up to that description; no shirking their duties, no being soft on their lower-caste fellows.

As soon as he took over, Auresh had had the gallows rebuilt. No firing squad nonsense; he wanted as few guns in the place as possible. Guns could be taken and used by anyone.

Books were highly restricted now; library cards were only handed out after a background check and an interview. Caste determined what a troll could buy, as well as how much of it they could purchase at a time.

Psiionic inhibitors were required for any troll above a certain strength level, and psiionic testing was mandatory for any troll six sweeps and older to determine what power they had, if any.

Auresh, an eight sweep old cerulean, squinted in the moonlight at the town from his window, a few perigees after he’d arrived. He ran a hand through his long hair.

It still wasn’t enough.

He had to do more than just prevent rebellions. He had to discourage the very thought.

The next night, the posters went up.

No one could leave the town, unless specifically requested by the empire, or recruited by the fleet. Any troll coming in had to be screened to be allowed to stay.

He walked back from having his trolls put them up in the town square, accompanied by his bodyguard, a lean greenblood woman.

Suddenly the ground started trembling near the pair of trolls, and Auresh quickly stepped back. His guard drew her knife, ears alert, until the shaking ended in an explosion of dirt as a large creature pushed its way through the earth.

The oliveblood held steady, ready to spring into action, but the dirt-spattered beast revealed as the soil settled didn’t move to attack. Instead it blinked its little black eyes as it looked at them, the tendrils around its beak waving, and dove back into the ground. For a moment, it kicked up more dirt behind it with powerful hind claws before it quickly ducked out of sight.

Auresh watched it with his mouth open. He’d never seen such a creature. What on Alternia was it?

His guard suggested it was likely a lusus, but the covering of dirt made it impossible to tell.

The highblood, eyes eager, proposed they would have to follow it to find out.

His guard’s lips pressed together, but she knew she would have one fewer limbs if she denied him his wild-goose chase. Auresh pursued the animal from its rumblings and tremors, nearly falling over as it shook the ground around it, and then, minutes later, it finally surfaced again near the town’s edge.

A pathetic squawking noise came from nearby as the beast lumbered toward it. Both trolls saw now that it had a pair of small wings, despite clearly being subterranean. A feathery tail sprouted from its fur.

His guard drew her knife again. Idiotic as this chase was, she wasn’t going to let her lord get hurt because of his own foolishness.

Auresh meanwhile was all excitement, even as he panted hard from exertion, as the pair had had to skirt the craters that droids were still working on filling in.

Finally, something more fun than having to subdue this two-bit little town. Oh, it was worth it in the end, but it could be awfully tedious. He deserved to have a good time for all that he’d accomplished. His gray eyes, partially filled in with blue, sparkled as the beast stopped and he walked up beside it to see what the source of the squawking had been.

Crawling out from under a bush at the edge of the woods nearby was a very young troll; probably only passed their cavern trials a few perigees ago, if that. It squawked again, sadly.

Auresh’s guard eyed it dispassionately. It hadn’t been sent to them by the nearest cavern; it might not be any good. This wriggler could well be useless, so its custodian should be chased off, discouraged from settling anywhere nearby.

Besides, such a big tunneling beast could easily cause issues, especially with the craters not yet filled in.

The lusus ripped up some bugs and grubs from the ground and pushed them toward it, trying to encourage the wriggler to eat. Its gray cavern-issue clothes were dirty, and it took the offerings only reluctantly, a miserable expression as it chewed on them.

Auresh watched, fascinated. His guard immediately felt a sinking feeling go through her from head to toe.

This wriggler is perfect, he said, inspired by an idea. It doesn’t know anything. It has every reason to be grateful if we take it in, since its lusus is such a failure. It is the perfect example of not only my mercy, but the ideal candidate to be raised as a model of imperial ideals.

His guard sighed. Must you, my lord? They asked. Ferals rarely make good citizens. What do you have in mind for it?

Auresh pointed to the marred maroon symbol on the troll’s shirt, before its lusus curled around it, trying to keep the shivering thing warm.

Maroons were the most numerous among the rebels, he reminded his guard as her mouth drew into a sour line. Maroons are the ones who most need a lesson of their true place and purpose.

His guard sighed. The blueblood had a point.

So, a servant, she said.

A servant, he agreed. We will turn this feral into a well-mannered rust who shall serve as an example to everyone else.

He looked at the sad, dirty toddler. I hope it’s a girl, he said. I’ve already been thinking of moving all the boys in the hive to outside work. I don’t need any other men around, he said, with a resentful expression.

His guard wisely kept her mouth shut about how her lord never wanted any men around in case they dared be better at something than he was. He tended to simply ignore trolls who weren’t male or female, while he always paid women attention.

Sometimes far too much attention.

For the first time she felt a shred of platonic pity for the young troll. It had no idea what it was in for.

But Auresh ordered her to take it while he distracted the lusus, making a lot of noise to draw its curious black-eyed gaze, and she had no choice but to obey.

As she scooped it into her arms, it only raised a feeble protest before resigning itself to whatever fate she had in mind, clinging to her with drooping ears and quiet sobs.

She sighed. Disgusting, needy thing.

Still. She supposed they had to give it a name.

What do you think, lord? She asked.

Oh, I don’t care, Auresh said impatiently. You know I can’t name anything.

The blueblood’s attention was already drifting away from the child, his curiosity satisfied, as he thought again of other things while they walked back into town.

His guard thought of someone she had once loved, someone she had been unable to save. The entire reason she’d come to Silverpool, far away from everything she’d known.

The child was limp in her arms now, eyes blinking sleepily, which relieved her.

Feeling a bit silly, she leaned down to whisper in one of their large, pointed ears.

“Crista. Your name is Crista.”

🎄 BUTTON..............

Button is long asleep. Just another day in her books, as been the last perigee. Only difference is having to add shoveling her front walk into her schedule.

Maybe she’ll grab a peppermint mocha or something tomorrow instead of her usual coffee on her way to work. At least not having plans makes it easy for her to accept the holiday pay.

At some point she’ll get a text from JC, after a call she ignored or was conveniently too busy to pick up when it rang. She’ll text back. It’s easier than having a conversation.

Happy Yule.

#button #askbox #indig0trolls #oh so you want my sad girl #ship: feel like yourself

callan gifted gerrel those clawed gardening gloves because he thought they were funny and also useful (and the pair he bought are in his shade of green, the most fashionable colour out there of course), and some seed packets so he can grow all the veggies he needs to put on a pizza. which callan totally doesn't want to taste test

ashell gifted cheran a couple books, as well as a set of inks and brushes that he thought cheran could use for his anatomical sketches (which he bought from jikiro's company lmao). he gifted jikiro a little hamper filled with different types of berries and some fancy glass jars because he read that they can be used to make ink as well as be eaten, as well as a box of chocolate truffles and a cute tanuki print stationery set because he got anxious that his initial gift idea wasn't good enough lmao

velour made jamie a couple button-up shirts, one covered in subtle star patterns that show off different constellations, and another that has an embroidered kookaburra peeking out of the shirt pocket. he also made a couple bow ties as well, which he says when he's feeling better he'll enchant so the fabric is a bit more interesting. he also made socks and gloves for jikiro and kana, ji's pair being black with classy striped accents in all his quadrant's colours, while kana's pair are patterned to look like tanuki paws

mikiel was a bit unoriginal and gifted both lyvere and thrixe cookbooks, but he did make sure to buy them books based on whatever cuisine they're currently most interested in

lusien gifted anirus a really nice and expensive bottle of scotch (the kind that you only want to drink on special occasions) as well as a fresh batch of homemade jams and preserved foods they can keep on their ship without worrying about them spoiling too quickly

sharle gifted jamie books on how to speak italian, french, and monegasque (remarking that it took him hours to find the last one) since he knows that jamie was trying to learn those languages. he also gifted tira a limited edition snapback (because he collects them), gave quinne a fishing rod (because she mentioned that she likes catching fish but didn't own a rod), and ropikk a bottle of very expensive perfume (because he googled 'gifts for women')

viltau gifted jikiro some custom-tailored silk pyjamas decorated with a regal japanese maple design, a matching silk robe, and would treat him to a candlelit dinner... provided that ji can solve the scavenger hunt vil has prepared for him first. kitaer also gets send on a scavenger hunt, but his reward is the bodies belonging to the perpetrators of a crime kitaer was trying to solve. and also a traditional 12th perigee pudding and some homemade mince pies, because he is capable of catering to his kismesis' lack of a sweet tooth sometimes. viltau's employees also got a big bonus of extra cash and some gift cards

glasya gifted mikail another new plant for his apartment, and will take him out on a trip to the beach so they can go look at the rock pools together and then get a nice dinner at a beachfront restaurant. they also made bags of candies for all their friends using thematically appropriate candy moulds

vallis gifted epsilo a life-sized moray eel plushie, while zanzul and tuuya were gifted starfish and sea snail plushies respectively

linnae went out and picked some pretty wildflowers and ingredients to make potions with for arctus, and also gave a couple wildflowers to his other friends as well

everyone else also gave gifts to their quadrants / close friends but i couldn't think of something specific because i'm braindead. imagine a really cool gift here for every ship (romantic or platonic) i missed

#ooc #spring and a storm #null and void #the prince and the pauper #lonely too long #dearly departed #starstruck #served ice cold #icebreaker #guiding you home #sharle and jamie #flying lap #dressed to impress #kittau #mixed messages #in too deep
