#The Aurora Cycle

[radioactive-metal]

Aurora loved mince pies and made them for the squad every year at Christmas

you cannot change my mind

Uk/Ireland AL fans you feel me?

That one bit in AR where Auri tried on her dress in front of everyone, and she says, "Kal didn't look at me at all."

Bullshit. Lies. Deceit. Pure falsehood. Silly fibs. There is no way that Mr. Kaliis Idraban Simp-eth Male-Housewife-ith Gilwraeth didn't look at her. No. Way. What he DID is he waited for her to look away, or do her little twirl, and then STARED in pure AWE of the beauty that is Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley and then just pretended that he didn't give a shit because he's a dummy.

It’s so funny reading these parts from Tyler in the second book cause it’s like,

“Hot woman is interrogating me—>she is Kal’s sister—>only think about how cool/attractive Kal is and how much she reminds me of him.”

notes from a violinist on the siif

hey everybody i've played violin for 10 years, so naturally you can assume i was excited when the siif was described as being similar to a violin. but then, it was described as a plucked instrument where chords are more commonly played instead of notes, which caused me to Wonder...

here is what i think we can assume about the instrument, for all you fanfic writers out there:

violinists do pluck sometimes (pizzicato), but we still hold it on the shoulder when we do that. i'm assuming that the siif is something you hold at your chest/in your lap like a guitar, because it's hard to sing and play chords with something on your shoulder. I argue that the siif is actually more similar to a mandolin than a violin. why? you might ask, well a mandolin is roughly the same size, and is tuned the same as a violin, but is more commonly a chord instrument.

you might also ask what it looks like. i'm no expert, but i think we can assume that like the mandolin, it's teardrop shaped. the teardrop shape seems to be a common element in syldrathi culture so i don't think that's too big of a stretch. i think it is also dark in color, as it's probably made from lias wood

“It’s okay,” I repeat. “Whatever you’re ready for. Whatever you like. I’m happy just to be with you. Whatever you want, it’s enough.” I squeeze his hand, kiss his metal fingertips one by one. “You’re enough.”

“…Really?” he whispers.

“Really,” I smile. “You’re beautiful.”

The cabal of the Warbreads sounds like they are nothing but tools and soldiers, meanwhile in the german version the cabal is called "Wildgeborene" which translates to "wildborn" which sounds like a bunch of Elves from Lord of the Rings who chill in a forest and run with deer.

I own a disruptor pistol for Longbow Defense

since that’s what the founders intended. Four GIA goon break into my ‘bow. “Makers Breath” I grab my standard issue Disruptor pistol and uniglass and blow a golfball sized hole in the first agent, he died 200 years ago and collapses. I fire again on the second man but miss because I bought a faulty power pack and nails the mayors Ultrasaur. I have to resort to the Eshvaren trigger I keep in my cargo bay “WE THE LEGION” the psychic force pops two of the G-men like water balloons, the Excess power crumples the longbow like a tin can. My tank charges the last terrified fungoid with Martial arts and he dies waiting for the police to arrive because Aen sun nerve strikes are impossible to recover from.

ahhh, just as the Founders intended

I'm I'm the scene with the soul colours where they all have strings tied between their wrists in the colours of their soul, showing the bonds between them

what hyper specific Aurora cycle moment are you tag yourself (im Kal in the echo when hes just chilling with his special interest instrument before he asks an authority figure an inappropriate question that he didn't realize was inappropriate and then sank into self-hatred when his lack of social skills claps back at him.)

Illuminae fans, pls help me out!

I first read Illuminae from the library, and when I got a copy as a gift I never opened it until now. For some reason, pages 107-170 are printed upside down and arranged backwards in my copy. Here’s a photo of pages 106 and 170:

(The bookmark is marking where the upside down and backwards section ends)

I know this book plays with page format a lot, but I don’t remember this when I first read it. I’m also listening to the audiobook rn and came across this while trying to find my spot in the physical copy. Is this standard printing or did I get a weird copy?
