hi person I definitely do not know, choose the number 22 now let's see what you got
*cracks knuckles and neck*
everyone, meet my arch fucking nemesis.
one day, while we were in a literature workshop i think, we promised each other we'd write a character analysis of each other. we're both too scared to do it, but i will make a stand and this will be like... a hint of that. a teaser of what could be. an idea.
I don't exactly know where to start so I'll just pick a random point: I said previously that I visit Rei's house the most. That's because I practically live at Dee's house. It became so bad we eventually started going to uni together. It became a meme. and for good reason.
Dee is the most terrifying person you will ever see, but then you'll talk with them for 15 minutes and if you do end up clicking, you'll discover that there's nothing to be afraid of. They're very sweet, but so extremely introverted. Im an archeologist and they're ancient ruins which I KNOW exist and i WILL be digging them up.
but this person. this specimen. this creature. this eldritch entity. honestly man, i dunno what to say, other than this guy (gnc) is one of my best fucking friends and i am so happy about that. this BRAIN. they are genuinely the most fun to discuss shit about. like theyre one of the few people where i will rave about my special interests and they will rave about theirs and we will be having Fun.
speaking of raving about special interests, theyre one of the few neurotypical people with whom i genuinely feel heard and properly taken care of with. like so many of my acquiantances will just not understand the mental illness cocktail inside my brain, and dee doesn't either because they just don't experience it, but theyre one of the few people who will make accomodations for me without me even having asked and that is so noble of them.
also sorry for constantly talking about how hArD my life is. except when i say im dying or wanna kill myself. then im not sorry. i am a dramatic son of a bitch and you befriended me on PURPOSE.
also the ones that get it, get it, but creating an au with you has been one of the most fun experiences ever in my life. not only was it such a fun writing exercise (WRITERS CLUB WHO?) but i loved thinking with you and it was an excuse to spend time with you and no joke i would do it all over again and i WILL do it all over again you are extremely unsafe. and while our love languages clash, once we synced up and did parallel play perfectly, it was such... a safe environment. talking and planning an theorizing with them is fun as fuck. but chilling on their couch (aka my bed) while they play some strategy war game and i play breath of the wild and i listen to them rage at egyptians, mongolians, british, scottish, or whoever attacks their faction and theyre panicking about not having enough resources while i rapidly back away from an approaching lynel is so comforting.
drawing in the same room as them and explaining fashion trends while they explained the latest criminal minds episode to me was so fun. it was so safe. i will genuinely cherish every moment with them, and i massively appreciate them. I wont get into what the situation was, but i once had to run to their house at 12.30 am while carrying groceries in my pajamas, and i wouldd do that again, for any reason.
but also they BULLY me and i am being ABUSED. >:(
no bullying from me in this post tho, i already do a lot of that irl and i will not be stopping.
also i know you will never make your own post like this about me, dee, unless you're not a coward :)
#asks#friends#greetings-humans#'AM I BEING ROMANCED RIGHT NOW?' and 'I would give you my first born' are genuinely the most funny compliments ive ever received from#an aroace person thank you dee for that honor#but uh yeah uuhh who is this person oh noo stranger danger

G... GOD DAMN BRO IT WAS A JOKE...
GOT ME KICKING MY FEET AND SHIT- AM *I* BEING ROMANCED RN?????? WHO DO I CALL??? POE-LEASE??? OFF-THORY-TEASE??
IS THIS WAR??? IS THIS A CALL TO ARMS??? GIVE ME LIKE...,,,, A FEW DAYS AND ILL FUCKING
SHODIFH
IM COUGHING UP BLOOD HERE THAT WAS A CRITICAL HIT HOLD ON--
what if i am malicious or mean-spirited? what then?
you say it like you aren't, you FUCKING BULLY
but let's ignore the fact that your love language IS BULLYING so that i can disprove those preposterous rumours of cowardice that you've been spreading around about me
meeting noel wasn't really a life-altering experience but deciding to invite him over for that first movie night that lead to a sleep over definitely was. see noel has this type of... disarming confidence that sort of scared me at first, but after a long rant about anime (and the assurance that there was something queer afoot with this guy), i decided to give this a try yknow? after all this is uni and I'm not in my home town and I don't wanna have zero friends here so i put on my big human pants and gave it a shot.
you would not believe how well it worked. see noel has this loud unabashed and pretty much shameless personality that i wasn't sure if i could work with. I'm the type of person that has a history of always being the one to compromise for the louder personality without saying anything and letting things bottle up until i literally decide to cut the other off, so i was cautious about managing my old bad habits and not letting them have a say in this new friendship.
enter stage right noel, who is loud and shameless but so so fucking considerate, who will ask and check, who is so careful about not making me feel uncomfortable (and the fact that i never feel bad about redirecting a conversation because of that speaks for itself). noel, who will initiate conversations that feel so meta because talking about your friendship with the friend involved isn't something i was used to at that point WHICH IS INSANE BECAUSE ITS SO USEFUL.
funnily enough, despite his loud energy (and i have never found anything funnier than this), his gamer rage is a "ts" that barely sounds mildly annoyed. it's endearing and utterly hilarious.
also, and i know noel being autistic plays a part in this but let me tell you, as someone that gets anxious and is a bit of an overthinker, the honesty that's always a part of my interactions with noel is so refreshing. and the fact that on top of all this, this guy doesn't even complain about living in a state of semi-constant confusion at my sarcasm. and by sarcasm, i mean that i sarcastically responded to noel telling me that I'm a sarcastic person okay? it's not just your casual run-of-the-mill thing, i live and breathe in sarcasm and this guy right here (who called me an eldritch being which feels like such a compliment) doesn't even complain. IN FACT i had to needle him into telling me to use /j or /s via texting, which he would never bring up himself ig and honestly. YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE BUT NOT TO YOURSELF.
ahem moving on. noel is a also a fucking bully in the most loving way possible. we once highjacked a video call for a uni project just to snipe at each other with petty fake (or not so fake but meant with love) insults BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE ABUSE AND I STAND BY THIS; HE STARTED IT.
he's the guy that calls me out so. much. who loves to needle me and tease me because that's what i signed up for apparently. it took me a bit to figure out how to go about it in a way that didn't lead to me accidentally internalizing the wrong thing, but once i figured that out it was game on.
conversations with noel will span from us aggressively calling each other out, to pretending to be a victorian couple to yelling about cute animals and raving about our specific extremely interesting thing at the moment. this guy has shown me so many different and diverse fandoms, from the owl house (which i still need to finish but whatever) to bee and puppycat to anything link and hyrule related. in return, i try to keep my rants about star wars (which i absolutely love and he absolutely cannot stand to listen too much about) to a minimum (which only works sometimes, sorry). and this right here is so important to me.
I've never had this dynamic before. this mutual understanding of i scream about my thing and you scream about your thing, and we focus as much as we can and if we can't we let the other know and they can scream later or scream via text so we can see it in a few days. that is something that i will never stop appreciating, something that i just wont stop loving about me and noel.
noel is the guy that's always there when i drop drinks (milk and alcohol most notably) on my carpet because istg it never happens when I'm alone or with anyone else. noel is the guy that decided to start writing down this wild au i pitched at him, which we started obsessing over and developing for the entirety of january iirc (and this is what urged me to also start writing about it and suddenly we're writing buddies which is such a fun and interesting experience).
he's the guy that was worried that me losing my social battery meant he did something wrong (something that i hope I've disproved by now, and also I NEVER SEEM TO LOSE MY BATTERY WITH THIS GUY?? I've literally never had this happen with any of my other friends but with noel it takes so long for me to me to go mm i need alone time),
noel has also, at many points this last year, practically moved in with me and yknow what? the absolute peace and calm adoration that i felt when i got home from a uni meeting to see him on my chair drawing, there are no words for it i swear

Working through some of the religions for the Little Bird. That’s a lie I’ve had the first drawing done for months and the concepts for the second for years.
I absolutely want to expand on these sometime, but for now this is all :3

I loved this episode so much 🥹 might write up another post about the emotional core of it and why I think it's the best ep. 11 I've ever seen, considering how much people love to bemoan the 'episode 11 curse' (which I think is just setting yourself up for disappointment). But right now, I'm just here to clarify some of the Thai, as per usual~
Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏
Taking advantage
Aylin: มนุษย์พี่นิสัยไม่ดี ฉวยโอกาส /ma noot phi ni sai mai dee. chuay oh gaat/ = [That's] bad behavior, human senior. Seizing the opportunity. Luna, after getting kissed: นี่มันฉวยโอกาสกันนี่ /nee man chuay oh gaat gan nee/ = This is seizing the opportunity!
ฉวยโอกาส /chuay oh gaat/ is not the same as 'taking advantage of sb.' aka exploiting sb./sth. It means to grab/take a chance or seize an opportunity when it presents itself. In that sense, it's more taking advantage of a situation.
Love
ตั้งใจเรียนนะน้อง รักนะ /dtang jai riian na, nong. rak na/ = Study attentively, nong. Love [you]! รักรักรัก รักๆๆๆๆ /rak x8/ = Love [you] x8 จากพระจันทร์ของน้อง <3 /jaak phra jan khaawng nong/ = from your Moon <3 -> พระจันทร์ /phra jan/ = the Moon
The Sun
สัญญานะ พระอาทิตย์ /san yaa na? phra aa tit/ = Promise? Sun? -> พระอาทิตย์ /phra aa thit/ = the Sun
#23.5 degrees#23.5 spoilers#aylinluna#ongsasun#thai gl#local woman harps on about linguistics#i never brought this up but last ep. aylin wai'd the monk and spoke politely and respectfully to him including pronouns and particles!#and this ep. she wai'd and greeted her phis politely and also called her relatives aunt and uncle (not 'human [...]')#she's really trying y'all :)#local woman harps on about 23.5

I often wonder how English distinguishing between “sentient pronouns” (he/she/they) and “inanimate pronouns” (it/its) affects our perception of the world.
I wonder if languages without this distinction foster more care towards the environment.
Animals and plants are usually referred to as “it”. Would we care for them more if we thought of them as sentient?
#brought to you by me calling plants he/she/they and greeting them and people finding me odd#lots of languages don’t have this distinction#it probably doesn’t make a huge difference in attitude in those languages#but in English where we do distinguish calling a plant <her> is a pretty big statement#this is kind of just me being weird tbh#pets are called by sentient pronouns#on the other hand maybe we don’t need to anthropomorphise nature#that isn’t always accurate#idk I’m just rambling here#not even mentioning it/its pronouns#sometimes users of it/its really appreciate the separation from humanity/human gender and norms#like it’s very interesting#anyway making it clear if you use it/its pronouns you’re very cool don’t get the wrong idea from this post#it would be amazing if it became the standard pronoun for everyone and everything#like that would be fascinating#maybe using a sentient pronoun would become a way to show closeness to someone or something#anyway idk what I’m on about#bye#language#langblr#linguistics#languages#quinn posts#environmental science

She heard me doing things so she came up to the side of her baby bin and blelelelele'd at me until I noticed her. She greets me every morning where we spend the first hour of every day together, her just resting in my hand and me holding her, often gently petting her head and tiny scales. If there is a heaven, that first hour we spend together is it.
She is getting a larger enclosure for her birthday in a month and a half. :D Hopefully I can get it done in time, as I haven't sculpted a custom enclosure before and will be trying some new artistic critiques. I do have experience sculpting though. My biggest worry is the paints and sealing them properly! Art I can do- but food safe art that will be in a moist bioactive enclosure is new for me.
#From her enclosure camera#hognose#hognose snake#snake#pets#She is getting a bigger enclosure soon it is preordered and we need to wait#She greets me like this every morning#She ate yesterday and should be in a food coma!#You can even see her lump#So I gave her pets and told her I love her#From inside her enclosure the photo of her being held is from yesterday#She really enjoys pets#Especially after a big meal#I need to get a video of her asking for pets#She will pet herself with her chin#And when I stop sometimes she will pet herself with her chin asking for more!#And then I will pet her and she will relax looking like she is in heaven#Those posts saying “snakes cannot enjoy being pet and will only learn to tolerate it” are absolute BS outdated information#from people who are insecure that they are less valid as humans if animals are capable of feeling love and asking for affection#My snake will LITERALLY ASK TO BE PET#And she will pet me too!#I think she saw me petting her#Thought “This feels nice. Is this what we do for each other?”#And when we are snuggling she'll wiggle over to my arm or shoulder and start petting me. She doesn't pet me in any other places.#It is a lot of effort as she has no hands and has to use her chin#moving her whole upper body#So she'll only pet me maybe 20-10 times and take a rest#Does anyone else's snake pet them?#It is unusual but I think maybe she learned it from copying me and it makes her happy ^_^#What a wonderful world we live in where snakes enjoy being pet

I saw your Doctor biting post recently and it’s been stuck in my brain ever since. Do you think the companions would bite too?
yeah :)
donna and clara would take a little bit to warm up to it, but they'd be ones to bite back, absolutely. amy, too, cause amy bites, canon, but it might be a bit before that holds the same ritual importance as the doctor biting, before it becomes more than 'the doctor put his hand over amy's mouth to make her be quiet and amy bit him because. well. he put his hand over her mouth.'
i think bill might too, once or twice, because she offers for the doctor to bite her so he would offer back. she'd do it cause she's curious and she'd do it cause he trusts her. i don't know that martha would until later in their friendship. say: not when she says goodbye to him in s3, but when they meet again, absolutely. (also, there's a comic where she meets thirteen, sorry detouring i need to mention it cause i got to skim it at the bookstore the other day. ANYWAY. my point is that i don't think thirteen bites any of her current companions because Issues Girlie. but i think martha, hearing that she's a future doctor, that martha not only survives her but thrives, and seeing that the doctor is, still, despite her smiles, hurting. i think martha would bite thirteen. is what i'm saying. and i think for one moment, thirteen would allow herself the vulnerability of biting back.)
rose gets to bite the doctor during doomsday :) right after he tries to send her away to the other dimension and she comes back :) she bites him for the first time and it means i'm choosing you and this life and everything that comes with it, even what i don't understand but know that's important to you :) it's why he doesn't argue, cause she bites him, and it aches all the way until she slips beyond his fingers and can't keep that promise. bruises while he's running around with donna and i think it fucks him up pretty bad when that bruise fades :)
still learning charley, but oh, i think she would bite eight. charley will yes, and anything. if the doctor bites her, then she'll bite him back. and she'll bite him herself later, nip him to get his attention or fluster him. eight is very biteable can we blame her-
i haven't Finished thirteen's era so leave this opinion subject to change. but. like i said, won't let herself bite her companions, so they don't even know that that's an option, that that's important to her. i don't think ryan or graham ever get the chance or know. but. yaz probably does. yaz probably figures it out. (if she's not told, outright, because the master Does Not Like Her and will bring up clara and her bitey ways if only to mock yaz for not getting to in comparison. (<- guy who hated clara so so much and is now pretending that she was Better, Actually. issues boy.))
maybe she does, once, i'll see about that. i think i'm pretty secure on the doctor never biting back, though.
#ask#i think that's everyone? oh god am i forgetting someone. i feel like im forgettin- RORY.#rory doesn't bite the doctor. rory goes 'do u have any idea. how gross human mouths are. im not biting you.'#and the doctor goes :((((((( im a TIMELORD i cant get infections. unconvincingly.#river and jack are more companions lite but they bite absolutely.#askdjaldjaslkjdlkj JACK BITES GRAHAM ACTUALLY THATS WHAT HE DOES TO GREET HIM AFTER MAKING OUT WITH HIM#POOR GRAHAM. poor graham. kissed and bitten by jack harkness what a fate

Enith first developed space travel around 500,000 years prior to the modern period. This early era of space travel, called the First Enlightenment period, is survived almost solely through it's planetary colonists.
The Corldaxians of Enlightenment period had one goal- to send as many people as possible to nearby habitable planets. Ostensibly, the purpose of this was to set up an extensive empire with infinite resources so that Enlightenment period civilization could exist, as it was, forever. The real motivation behind this was the fear of what they assumed to be an exponentially growing population, and of the internal collapse of the state.
Enlightenment Corldaxians sent out hundreds of colonial trolleys with thousands of people aboard, all to colonize planets their ships wouldn't reach for hundreds of thousands of years. The majority of ships used cryofreeze to keep their colonists alive for the journey, with a good bit of variation on the specifics. All of them, with the exception of the earliest ships, packed the materials needed to make a wormhole generator.
Enith had set up a wormole gate on the edge of it's system towards the end of the Enlightenment period, but it had the knowledge and ability to create them halfway through shipping the colonists. The plan was to have the colonists construct their own wormholes upon reaching the edge of their planet's solar system; then land, set up their colony, and contact Enith through a micro-wormhole com set. The ships that did not have the materials for this on their leaving had another ship sent following them.
Many of the ships did not make it to their destinations. But some did.
The surviving colonists woke up, set up their wormholes, and landed on their planets. Many encountered barely habitable planets that needed thorough terraforming to support a decent population. Some encountered planets that weren't habitable at all, or were habitable but didn't have any native life, and a rare few encountered planets with life already on it. A few of those were even met by sapient life.
The colonists were lucky that, when the first of them contacted Enith, it was once again going through a period of space exploration. The First Enlightenment had collapsed not long after the last colonists left, and Enith had been in and out of dark ages ever since. The wormhole generator, luckily, saw a fair amount of upkeep every couple of millennia and was able to be repaired. Then duplicated, then updated as Enith entered it's modern period.
When Enith was contacted by it's long-lost colonist, it quickly sent more colonists and supplies. The problem was... well... it had been 500,000 years.
The colonists were met by people who barely looked like them, who rarely spoke the same language as them, and who often chastised them for dressing or acting how they always have. They were similar, but that was all that could be said. Enith had changed and the colonists had not. Their way of life was dead and gone, and they were the only memory.
First contact had to have been funny though. I mean imagine you went to an exoplanet to colonize it and when Earth sent some more guys for you and opposite Homo Heidelbergensis pops out with a grey alien behind it.
Hilarious.
A colony ship contacts Enith every couple of decades now. Bitriem's colony was the first to encounter native sapients, and they contacted Enith around one and a half thousand years ago. Zornxia and Atiske were two other early contacts, and the most recent contact was with the Umblans.
The people who were sent to colonize Umblan are still alive in the setting of The Little Bird. Diaf is probably in contact with a few of them. But while they made contact with Enith, while they have access to the full network of planets Enith has made, they're still alone. Isolated, because everything they once knew is gone.
Humans had the same strategy.
Enith is on the Sagittarius branch, though the cluster of systems the Enithian and Teth Tias governments inhabit is just about the closet you can get to Orion.
Hán was on one of the first generations of ships to be sent towards Sagittarius. Cereza's two times great grandparents were shipped out later than her.
Earth didn't send them out with wormhole tech. No one has heard from Earth since waking up.
What would you do if everything you ever knew was just gone? Unreachable, unknowable for the rest of your life. Not just what was your life, but all of Earth. Of humanity.
What would you do if you were stranded, alone, quite possibly the last humans in the universe?
#and yet all around you is life. are people. who are so unlike you in every way.#but they are people.#can you actually consider yourself to be alone?#long post#LIKE LONG POST. SERIOUSLY#greetings from enith#there is no tag for humanity#little bird worldbuilding#my art#lmk if you have any questions :)#I want that smile to be the most evil ominous thing you have ever seen btw.#sci fi#science fiction#spaceship#speculative biology#spec bio#spec evo#speculative evolution#xenobiology

i really hope that cats meet up in the afterlife and, when they realize they’ve had the same family, get to catch up on what their humans where up to and greet them from us. 'they still talk about you and they miss us very much.' something like that. i hope they get to know that they’re remembered. ♥️
#one of my parents' cats passed away today ☹️#i really hope she gets to meet our first cat and greets him from us#and i do hope they get to share some funny stories about us silly humans ��#kitties#cats#cats of tumblr#*txt
