I just binge read your fic Sins of the Father! It is so good. I'm so invested in your ocs too. I like the dynamic between Yorick and Ella they feel like real siblings.
me rn:
Seriously though, that's so nice of you to say! Also, I super appreciate the assurance that the twins read like real siblings, because I have got zero frame of reference for that outside of anecdotes from some of my IRL friends. Very encouraging to hear that they don't read like Only Children Writing Siblings™️

I miss my grandmother so much. I wonder if she would be proud of me or if she would hate the choices I’ve taken. Would she still love me? I hope so. I’m sorry to doubt it.

why are you skeptical of the current explaintion for Brachycephalus's landing issues? 👀
Basically, Brachycephalus are the only miniaturised frogs that seem to have these problems, and there are other frogs with equally small vestibular systems that work fine. I have seen tiny Stumpffia jump over a metre and then jump again moments later, which Brachycephalus are apparently incapable of.
Moreover, the behaviour we see in Brachycephalus is not just disorientation, which I think should be accompanied by wild flailing, but more closely resembles the spontaneous myotonic stiffening that occurs in fainting goats. Compare:
We also know that the entire otic capsule of Brachycephalus is, to use the scientific terminology, fucked, leading to the seemingly impossible but apparently confirmed consequence that they cannot hear their own calls. This is dramatically different from most if not all other miniaturised frogs.
So basically, I think Brachycephalus are a special case, and that the current explanation that supposes that the fluid of the semicircular canals cannot travel fast enough to allow orientation, is at best genus-specific and not miniaturisation-determined, and at worst simply wrong. Hence, I have a grant application seeking to test it in other miniaturised frogs. It has been rejected before, so I am not holding my breath, but it would be nice to be able to look into this.

you wanted zoro to be on whole cake island to fulfil your weird desire to see zoro punish sanji. I wanted zoro on whole cake island because I think he's stupid enough to right place wrong time the plan and accidentally marry Sanji in full view of the whole wedding party in what becomes the most elaborately constructed comedy of errors ever written. we are NOT the same.
