Hi! Hope you’re doing well (if not, I’m sending a hug your way)!

I was just curious to know how things are coming along with your Eliza book series project? I was reminded of it earlier today while thinking through how I should best start the research/planning process for the later books of my current project, and thought I’d come here to ask.

Note that simply thinking about it counts as working on it, so feel free to ramble towards that end if you feel compelled.

oh my gatos long time no see! ive been working a lot on research and basically thinking about how i'll do it, whether i want to make it totally accurate or take creative liberties..

how are you, and how is TAI going?

I'm a self shipper of a couple years now, although I only really started shipping myself with Zarbon this year. (Hyperfixations come and go what can I say?) I'm so glad to have found you guys. It's comforting to know there are others like you out there :)

I felt that hyperfixation thing for sure!! I am also coming back around into my DB fixation, it cycles in every 1-2 years and lasts for a... long, long time.

But I'm so glad you've found a community with all of us! I've seen your work on my main account and love your passion. It's awesome that you share so much cool work! I hope you continue to find comfort and joy in this community as well. Thank you for submitting!!

What are your opinions on fertilizer runoff from industrial farming? Its ingredients such as phosphate and nitrogen can facilitate algae blooms, which in turn can cause artificial eutrophication, and or release toxins like microcystins.

My opinions are mixed! Also, this is a long post, so I've put the rest under a keep reading. Please do read! I just don't want to fill people's dashes with a long post every time they scroll lol.

Firstly, I need to say that if we were to broadly ban or heavily restrict fertiliser usage in agriculture, it is undeniable that the agriculture economy would collapse. Most industrialised farming is incentivised to sell the 'ideal products' to consumers, which inevitable means a shitload of food production in order to get the highest amounts of 'perfect' product. This requires a lot of fertiliser usage in order to mass produce and harvest monoculture farmland, and also results in a LOT of food waste. Unfortunately, the agricultural economy, combined with the half century of brainwashing by advertising companies telling people that so called 'blemished' food is somehow bad for you, is so based on this excess that if we did immediate drastic action, it would implode and likely send the prospective country into a recession.

With that being said, the system of heavy use of fertiliser is still not good!! Fertiliser runoff causes eutrophication as you point out, and can lead to toxic algal blooms, or even oxygen dead zones further down stream. However, it is not solely the use of fertiliser products that contribute to fertiliser run-off, as contradictory as that sounds. In fact, soil quality has a large part to play in the production of run-off.

For example, most modern agriculture uses monoculture, which is when one plant species is grown in the same place with little to no diversity in the field. A result of this is that only a single type of root system is grown, which is not enough for a healthy layer of topsoil to develop, especially if it is tilled and plowed every season. This means that the soil is very poor at retaining water, meaning that it requires LOTS of irrigation. With lots of irrigation, the fertiliser nutrients can't stay in the soil long enough to be absorbed by the plants fully, and they get washed away and have to be constantly topped up.

If we used less monoculture in our farming, we could use less fertiliser and still gain the same benefit, with also less runoff, which would be ideal!

I would also note a few things, namely that fertiliser runoff is not the only source of nutrient pollution from farming, and especially in places that have heavy cattle farming like my country, nitrates and phosphates from stock effluent is more of a problem. Cows shitting near streams is a big problem, and can be mitigated by proper filtering and nutrient-recovery technologies. One of these that I think is a big winner in terms of green technology wastewater treatment are Floating Treatment Wetlands, which are essentially artificial wetlands that are engineered to be part of wastewater treatment, and also provide habitats for birds and insects at the same time.

FIRST KISS 💋 (I imagine they’ve had cheek kisses before, but Valentine’s Day has Jillian feeling bold, and maybe she thinks a smooch will stun Lux long enough to get them to stop teasing her! >u<)

@copaceticjillybean

Valentine's Day Prompts

"Oh darlliinnggg~" They called out as they approached the door. A large bouquet of flowers held in front of them almost made it look as though they were completely nude behind it. But they handed them off the moment they were able to reveal and exceptionally cute suit with some ruffles and bows that made it much more Lux than a regular suit. "For you, gorgeous." They fluttered their eye lashes, their wings were out which was rare - until....

"I also have..." And they pulled out from behind their back, the wings having hidden away perfectly the rather large assorted chocolate box. "And my favorite gift of all..." They held out a book. A romance novel, (though it was one with enough plot they actually thought Jillian might enjoy it)... however, the cover had been replaced. With them. In a full replica outfit and pose. Shirtless, the wind in their hair and the words covering their bottom half in a way that implied nudity.

They waggled their eyebrows at her and smirked. "Now, I know your the librarian so you'll have to bear with me for this recommendation but I think you'll really like it... here." They opened the book and began reading before Jillian had had much of a chance to respond. "And then they pulled you in closely, and their lips were soft-"

And then Lux was cut off by Jillian suddenly closing the distance between them and the book being taken out of their hands. They wrapped her arms around her and kissed her back. Pressing her closer, gently, not forcefully. But in adoration. When they parted they stared for a moment with an expression of shock.

"Hmm always though I was going to be the one to do that..."

@hazbinned says "Cut loose, have fun!" Val @ Velvette! (Vox can be there too) From 4-Word Sentence Prompts

"I know you're all fucking and sucking- but I have work to do!" She shot him a look. "I don't have time to cut loose." She did, in fact. She'd finished the line for the show, she had everything set up and the show wasn't for another week. She was ahead of schedule on everything. But she didn't want him thinking he knew better than her quite frankly.

Velvette had a bad habit of being a workaholic, enough so that she had the sketches planned for a show almost a year out. Predicting style changes and everything. Including alternates incase one trend happened quicker or differently than she thought. For someone who could do what she could with clothes- she sure put more work into than other would.

She then stared at a dress on a mannequin in front of her for a moment too long. Maybe she really did need a break. "Fuck. Fine. Okay. Sure. I'll take a break." She looked annoyed, defeated, and kept glancing back at the dress hoping maybe a new idea would come to her. Sometimes though, you needed to know when to take a break. Now was one of those times.

Hai. Android 17/Lapis selfshipper here. Let me look into his eyes and kiss him on the lips and wrap my arms around him and feel safe with him

So fair anon I respect the hustle

Whats your favorite flower?

Oo oo oo!!!! SUCH a good question! Thank you for the ask anon! I love getting these questions!

I have a two different answers, so here goes:

In terms of pure sentimentality, my favourite flower is that from the kōwhai tree. They are a bright yellow and bring so many different manu to feed from them. The house I did the most growing up in has a kōwhai tree beside it that is at least 150 years old, and so I have many fond memories associated with the flower. Also, kōwhai is a legume, so it turns into these rad as hell seed pods whichgive such a nice peppering of yellow to winter when they mature and break open.

In terms of aesthetics, I LOVE dahlias. I love the diversity of shape and colour that humans have bred into them, just as a testament to the silly levels that people will go to see what weird and wacky things they can get in there. To see some dahlias that I have taken photos of, see my post here

I’d love the ‘if they had a kid’ meme for Luxury and Jillian please! ^w^

@copaceticjillybean

If they had a kid... // I should have seen this one coming haha

Name: Apollo

Gender: Genderfluid, Masc leaning

General appearance: It shifts as he's growing up. He does entertain a feminine persona for a while but actually ends up liking a more traditional male appearance. Long auburn-brown hair with silver streaks (even at a young age), red eyes, silver fox ears and tail. Though they do sprout wings now and again for speed. Tend to favor formal attire with some quirk.

Personality: A blend of his parents. Love reading, but also love talking. Outgoing, until they're done then he gets quieter.

Special talents: Theater

Who they like better: Jilly

Who they take after more: Lux

Personal headcanon: They want to be more like Jilly, with her inteligence and quieter nature. They just... can't always keep their mouth shut. They do eventually learn to love himself. Also they inherit Lux's shapeshifting and use he/they pronouns.

Face Claim:
