Oh man all of these lil OC kidfics are great but I just backread the Baby Clone And All Associated Trauma and I am in love. More of that please?

He doesn’t even know how to keep that from happening. He doesn’t even know if he’ll be around to keep that from happening. 

Probably not, though. Probably if he ever sees Tobias again, the kid’ll hide his face from him just like this. 

Tim feels sick just thinking about it.

had to get this out of my chest

[le-velo-pour-dru]

Currently at a skating rink rn and my sister and best friend are both trying to get a toy frog called Family Circinal from a claw machine. My friend looked that name up online and it absolutely doesn't exist anywhere online. But we're trying our best to retrieve this smiling frog. The claw has picked it up and then dropped it like three or four times.

CURRENTLY THE CLAW IS AROUND IT BUT WON'T COME BACK UP

薇[Zenmai] Osmunda japonica

It can grow in moist, half-shaded area, and is especially common along mountain streams. The grass is 50 centimeters to 1 meter tall and produces fertile leaves and sterile leaves from a single plant. The fertile leaf is called Otoko-zenmai and the sterile leaf is called Onna-zenmai. Otoko(男) means male, onna(女) means female.

The shoots that emerge in the spring are circinate and covered with white downy hairs. This part is eaten as a wild vegetable. However, it seems to be an unspoken rule in almost any region that only onna-zenmai should be picked, and otoko-zenmai should not be picked in order to keep the plant alive. The photo shows that otoko-zenmai is about to grow.

By the way, the kanji 薇 is the same as that in 薔薇[Bara](Rose).

Ahahhahahahahahahhah

Imagining that’s the response to them texting and Cheria implied (jokingly) she’ll deny him pussy

Ned thing happening is cry’s outside her door.

Congrats on your extra soggy jellyfish boyfriend Cheria.

"It is a great irony that summoning a daedra is a relatively simple matter, but banishing them, not so. You wouldn't happen to have the power to cast the standard circinate spell Banish Daedra, would you?"

Fergus, any plans for the holidays? Maybe bar hoping with Cir, or do you prefer quieter holiday activities?

"Mmmmmm, Cerigo wanted to go out to see the lights so I was plannin tah go out with her. And then we wanted to go out shoppin together after to get gift fer everyone. So that'll be here real soon, prolly tomorrow. Circs been busy with Cherry so I dunno if they'll wanna join us. Oh... then it'd be hard to stealth shop too." "Circin and I already set up the tree together so that was one of our big activities. It hasn't snowed enough for any of the other stuff like snowtrolls or ice skating."

In Which I Read Dragonflight

So after observing references to this "Dragonriders of Pern" series passively for several years, I recently decided to see if it was worth a look. To my immense gratitude, @c-is-for-circinate​ wrote out a very nice explanation and recommendation here. Having now finished the first book they suggested, Dragonflight, I wanted to share my thoughts.

(Also, I've just realised the second book they recommended was Dragonsdawn, not Dragonquest, which is the one I thoughtlessly jumped into after finishing Dragonflight. Oh well, I guess I'll be checking out Dragsondawn next.)

Thoughts under the cut. Spoilers for Dragonflight, and to a lesser degree Dragonquest, naturally.

So all things considered, I did end up enjoying Dragonflight. I really liked Lessa as a protagonist, and F'lar as the handsome man who sweeps in to sweep the protagonist off their feet, even if I did get frustrated with him from time to time.

I loved the dragons. After 10+ years of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, where dragons are intelligent but still largely bestial in nature, it was a thrill to read about dragons communicating directly with their riders. I also found it interesting that McCaffrey includes an introduction (prologue? I was listening to the audiobook and don't remember how it was titled) that explicitly goes into the history of Pern as a science fiction setting rather than fantasy. I know that it had that backstory, but I had assumed it was something that would come out over time, not be made plain before the story even started.

To be clear, I'm a huge fan of the worldbuilding. I'm a sucker for stories where society has forgotten its scientific origins and so marvellous achievements of times past come to be regards as magic.

Speaking of times past: was not expecting time travel in this story! Somehow managed to avoid spoiling myself about that until I reached it in the story. I thought it was quite cleverly woven, with serious enough consequences that overuse of it could end up being disastrous. Unfortunately, I did spoil myself regarding its use in the story's climax, but even then, I thought it was set up so well that if I hadn't known ahead of time I think it would have been really satisfied with it.

Other random things of note:

When the story first introduced Fax, and as we learn more about what an awful person he is, I initially found it hard to take it seriously. "What a cartoonish villain," I thought to myself. And then I thought a bit harder and realised we have people like that in the real world; people with that same sense of entitlement, who think they can do and say and take anything with no consequences. After that he felt a lot less cartoonish, and a lot more satisfying when he met his end.

I really empathised with Lessa when she became Weyrwoman and basically got reduced to… well, "woman do what man say, man fight, woman stay behind to look after home". I despised R'gul, and when it was time for Ramoth's first mating flight, I became genuinely worried and half-convinced that he was going to solidify his power by keeping F'lar out of the picture until it was over. I cannot overstate my relief when he was unseated, nor my satisfaction as he was repeatedly proven wrong about his beliefs over the course of the rest of the story.

Speaking of F'lar, by the way, I got really frustrated with him at multiple points. It seemed like all the things about Lessa that made him want her to become Weyrwoman suddenly become a problem for him once she actually was Weyrwoman. Not to mention that it really felt at times like he was blaming her for not knowing enough, when he should have been well aware that R'gull kept her education very limited. It felt a bit like making someone wear a blindfold to your home and then getting angry when they can't name the colour of the carpet.

As stated above, I have started reading Dragonquest, and I appreciate that the time travel solution, though it solved their problems in the short term, doesn't end up being a perfect deus ex machina; there are consequences being felt even seven years later.

All in all, I’m glad I read it, and once I’ve finished Dragonquest, I will almost certainly check out Dragonsdawn.

"^o We could both get things for the ladies while we're out, too. ^o I love this! ^o Of course."

"^o Fergus! ^o I have the night off. ^o What do you want to do?"

"Oh dope! Wanna go down to the barras? Do some shoppin? I hear there's a cute new shop at the mall. Lotsa cute shite an the lot."

♋ @ Circin : ]

What do you think about the caste system?

^o It's important for the function of the Empire. ^o But a lot of trolls, both high and low blooded, forget that ALL the castes are necessary. ^o I will never have anything against any lowblood, or treat them any worse than any highblood I meet. ^o if anything I try to be as kind as possible.

^o And then of course there's my matesprit, Cherry, who is the most fantastic troll in the entire galaxy! <3 ^o Fergus my moirail, who is dearer to me than all the stars in the universe.

this page is full now, so time to start a new one~

Most fun part of each character(for people who wanna know idk, im high and rambly)-

Circin was really fun to do the expression for, im a little sad I didn't think to do his fins a different way though. I'll know for next time

Perse- Everything. She's so cute ;_; I think she's my favorite of the night so far, she's just so adorable and creative. I'm a sucker for butterfly fish fins.

Cordia- her eyes were really fun to draw, although her wires and I fought a lot. I had to scrap her sketch 5 times. She was the most difficult of the night

Hera- Honestly any opportunity to draw a buff woman is an opportunity I will jump at. Her teeth were rude to me the whole time, but the expression turned out good so I'm happy that I redid em uvu

Astell- HE WAS SO FUN TO DRAW IN GENERAL- HE HAS THE BUTTERFLY FINS. HE HAS LAYERS(Shrek voice) also I just really like his hair. I think I'm most proud of his eyes in particular uvu~ it was a fun eye shape *Scuttles away with him*
