as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

It would be really funny if the Blood Lily is something only the wol can do. No modern white mages have done that one before and Kan E Senna is too scared to bring it up to you

Y'know... As much as I enjoyed trying to connect Cylva and Zero's stories, there's one facet I hadn't thought about/remembered until this moment.

Even as people who fought for Good, we saw how the environment of the Thirteenth shaped Zero and Durante's perspectives and expectations.

When Cylva moved to help the Ascians, she was just meant to manipulate Ardbert and his crew. Use them for her own ends, as she had probably seen a hundred times over in her lost world.

Which then really nails in just what a shock it was for her when Ardbert and co. still showed her kindness and love in sparing her life at the end of it all.

Like, the story before was already good in the idea "you would treat me nicely after what I did?" theme--already a pretty important theme in 14, especially ShB/EW--But Cylva likely never got to have any REAL friends or allies in the Thirteenth. It really was a life-shattering moment of, "people really can be kind..." And she was never the same.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything​ in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

I think if you put someone from 2005 onto a website from 2025 without the slow creep we've lived through, they'd think they had malware

Hey, happy Earth Day! Who wants to talk about climate change?

Yeah, okay, fair, I kinda figured the answer to that would be "ugh do we have to?" What if I told you I have good news though? Good news with caveats, but still good news.

What if I told you that since the Paris Agreement in 2015, we've avoided a whole degree celsius of global warming by 2100, or maybe more?

Current projections are 2.7C, which is way better than the 3-5C (with a median of 3.7C) we were expecting in 2015. It's not where we want to be - 1.5C - but it is big, noticeable progress!

And it's not like we either hit 1.5C and avoid all the big scary consequences or fail to hit 1.5C and get all of them - every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid is going to prevent more severe problems like extreme weather, sea level rise, etc.

This means that climate change mitigation efforts are having a noticeable impact! This means a dramatically better, safer future - and if we keep pushing, we could lower the amount of global warming we end up with even further. This is huge progress, and we need to celebrate it, even though the fight isn't over.

It's working. Keep going.

I am thinking about fan fiction writers, but anyone who writes any kind of fiction can answer. (As far as I’m aware, non-fiction is usually written in the past tense - but if I’m wrong do let me know!)

If you like, explain why in the tags!

When I was young I gathered that all serious works of fiction were written in the past tense (past tense third person to be precise) so that is what i did when I started writing. However my mind was blown by the power and immediacy of Margaret Atwood writing in the present tense so I started to experiment with it myself, and now i strongly favour it. I get the impression that past is still the most commonly used, but I’m prepared to be surprised!

Please share!

not gonna lie, when i saw that a cybertruck had exploded i legit didn't realize it was some sort of premeditated thing, i just thought it was just another extreme flaw in it's design. i had no idea fireworks were involved, i honest to god thought it just did that on its own
