I think there’s something to be said about how even in stories so far removed from our society (fantasy, supernatural, sci-fi, etc), prejudice exists bc there is no world that we can image that has everyone be equal, things are just always inherently disproportionate
#thinking about this and how#there will always be something seen as less then no matter the progression of the world#there’s just always that separation and distrust#it so fascinating to me actually - like even when you try to make an unprejudiced world there always hints and undertones of it#you can never really escape it ig#im always especially intrigued with it in supernatural settings#bc it really is the story of pitting minorities against each other to be able to better control them#like you can have them work together or have to much of a kinship bc then they will overtake the system in place#crafting the narrative and finding things to resent each other#all supernatural creatures have some type of weakness - a downside - and thats used against them to strain any interspecies (??) bond#if this take is completely wrong and awful dont tell me i will stay in my little bubble#blab tag

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly. Jonni: "Hold up. Trying to sex a spider." Nyx: (throws her hands up) And then Jonni wakes up with a spider venom hangover webbed to a wall waiting to be eaten. Jonni: "Eh, I’ve had worse one night stands. I’m not a fucking blueberry." OOC 1: Hey, where does your weed elf grow [her] crops? OOC 2: She probably just grows them in the room she hasn’t paid rent on. OOC 3: Because I was also considering a circle of spores druid tortle. OOC 2: We could be partners! We could turn this into road to el dorado staring Cheech and Chong. OOC: Wait, I just realized five people are hanging out in a pirate bar, and none of us are rogues. We are gonna need someone to get thieves tools. OOC: We have a barbarian with a big stick.

I’m Never Going to Leave You
I hope you are enjoying my first attempt at fan fiction! I know I’m learning a lot about the process (and myself) along the way. I would love to hear any and all feedback you might have for me. What do you like and what do you hate about it? Criticism helps! I do hope you enjoy this part, though. :)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Part 4
Nesta slowly awoke, cocooned in a warmth she hadn’t ever felt before. The smell of woodsmoke and embers was delicious, filling her with comfort and a sense of security. Someone must have lit the fire in her bedroom hearth during the night. Still fuzzy with sleep, she slits her eyes open. She can see the sunlight filtering through her bed curtains, rainbows of colors through the gossamer material. Pausing, she rapidly came awake when she remembered she doesn’t have bed curtains. Reaching up to run her fingers across the colors, she brushed strong, Illyrian wings.
Suddenly a sleepy groan rumbled against her chest and Cassian’s arms folded her even closer against his body. “Those are extremely sensitive, Nesta.” He still had his eyes closed but his breath was too rapid for sleep.
She stiffened at the close contact, but after a few minutes she began to relax. This was Cassian, the male who helped her yesterday, the male who watched as she got revenge on his friend, the male who watched over her while she slept. He wasn’t going to hurt her, and she made a conscious decision right then to believe that. “Are they still healing, after what Hybern did to you?”
“No, they are fully healed, and much faster than the first time thanks to Feyre’s bloodbane. I still have scars from both encounters against him, but my wings are as strong as ever.”
Opening his eyes, he watched as Nesta traced the air next to the scars on his wings. She was careful not to touch them although she wanted to feel their leathery strength under her fingertips again. Pausing her fingers next to a particularly long scar, Nesta tilted her head and looked at Cassian, asking silent permission. His eyes widening, he slowly nodded, tensing his body for the contact.
Delicately she traced the scar with her finger, feeling the smooth areas surrounding it and then crossing over the rough ridges of the scar itself. It still felt leathery, just very tough, like hardened tree bark. Sliding her fingers back onto the smooth area she followed the colors created by the sunlight shining through his wing, trailing along a membrane, following it’s path from the tip of a claw down as far as her arm could reach and back again. Nesta was fascinated by the softness of his wing; it felt like buttery leather. She could feel the heat of his wings through her fingers, and the tendons that quivered along their length. She became aware of Cassian trembling against her and she quickly snatched her fingers away from his wings.
“I hurt you, didn’t I?” Looking up at his face, Cassian had hung his head and closed his eyes and was breathing heavily. Nesta could see the struggle in his features, feel how tense his whole body had become while she explored his wings. She tried to move away, but Cassian snatched her arms and held her tightly against him, resting his forehead against hers, his hair brushing her cheeks.
“Just. Don’t. Move.” He whispered, almost gasping to take a breath.
Nesta held very still while he composed himself over the next several minutes. Finally he took a long, shuddering breath and raised his head. She could have sworn she saw fire in his eyes before he met her concerned gaze, but when he looked at her the hazel in his eyes was full of warmth and humor.
“Was that wrong?” Nesta lifted her hand and rested it on Cassian’s cheek to prevent him from looking away. Surprise lit up his face at her touch. Placing his hand over hers, he leaned his head into her embrace and answered almost gruffly, “No. As I said, they are just very, very sensitive.” Then Cassian stretched out his wings and the chill of the morning air rushed in. Nesta fully realized they had fallen asleep on the roof and slept there all night, wrapped in the warmth of his wings. Surprised, she thought this was the first full nights sleep she had had since before her transition; probably since even before Thomas.
“How about some breakfast?” Cassian stood up from the swing and held out his hand to help her stand. She actually did feel hungry this morning.
He kept ahold of her hand as they made their way downstairs to the dinning room. As they got closer, Nesta heard laughter and voices and the clink of silverware on plates. Suddenly nervous, she stopped and tried to remove her hand from Cassian’s. Of course, he refused to let go. Turning to stand in front of her, he placed his other hand on her shoulder and waited for her to look up at him.
“Nesta, that’s our family in there. Everyone only ever wants what is best for each other, and that includes you.”
Taking a deep breath, Nesta whispered, “I haven’t always been the easiest person to get along with.”
Snorting, obviously trying hard not to laugh out loud, Cassian choked out, “We know.”
Nesta glared at him and shoved his hand off her shoulder, dropping his other hand in a huff. Grinning, Cassian told her, “We’ve all had our moments with one another, Nesta. Granted, you’ve had more of them than most.” At that she crossed her arms and he hurried to add, “But we will always forgive each other. That’s what family does. We learn and grow and fight and argue and forgive and love each other. All of us, no matter what. You included.”
Raising an eyebrow, Nesta said, “Even Mor?”
Pursing his lips, Cassian said, “Yeah, she might take a little bit longer after last night.”
Nesta let a smile slip out and he smirked, saying, “There’s the grin I wanted to see. Come on, let’s eat.”
Taking a deep breath, she followed him into the dinning room. Everyone was there, even Mor, and they all were happily greeting Cassian but fell silent when Nesta appeared around him. Stiffening her shoulders, she marched over to the table and sat in an empty chair next to Rhysand. After a slight pause, everyone resumed their chatter, except Mor, who glared daggers in Nesta’s direction. Nesta ignored her. Cassian took the empty chair next to Nesta and quickly made her a plate of food, then he dug in himself. She picked at the fruit on her plate, keeping her gaze down and listening to the conversations around the table. The topics ranged all over the place, from the various activities each of them participated in the previous evening in Velaris, to plans for the festivals coming up in the months ahead, then jumping to Amren’s new favorite foods this week; she was still learning new tastes and textures since being Made all over again. Nesta listened to everyone interacting and enjoying each other’s company, beginning to relax in her chair, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Looking up, she saw that Feyre had leaned across behind Rhys to get closer to her. Nesta leaned over as well. Softly, her sister said, “I’ve missed you.” Reaching up to hold her hand, Nesta replied, “I’ve missed you, too.” Smiling at her, Feyre sat back in her chair and resumed eating.
Gradually, as everyone finished eating, the conversation started revolving around the training camps. Varian looked at Cassian, who wiped his mouth with his napkin and said, “Rhys, Feyre. We have a request from the Summer Court to allow Varian and some of his men to train with our Illyrian warriors.”
Rhys raised an eyebrow and glanced in Cassian’s direction. “So that’s why you were thinking about training drills so strongly this morning.” Cassian chocked on the mouthful of eggs he was swallowing. Feyre began to snicker and he glared at her, turning bright red in the face. Mor looked positively livid. Puzzled, Nesta turned to pat Cassian on the back, but not before she saw Rhys try to hide a smile behind his hand. Turning his attention to Varian, Rhys continued. “Interesting idea. Although the lack of wings may hinder your men learning some of our techniques.” Azriel chuckled, leaning back in his seat next to Mor. Varian also grinned and said, “I’m sure we could still pick up a trick or two.” At Rhys’ answering grin, Varian leaned his arms on the table and continued more seriously. “Any techniques we gain will only help to improve our skills in battle. If we learned anything from the war with Hybern it’s to anticipate the unexpected. I’m sure we have a few maneuvers we can teach your warriors as well.” He nodded in Az and Cassian’s direction with his last statement.
Rhys crossed his arms, considering Varian’s words. Feyre spoke up, “I think it’s a solid idea. It will train both armies in new techniques, as well as train them to work together, with each other, as one unit instead of as two armies side by side. I think it makes a lot of sense.”
Rhys nodded at Feyre, then turned to his second with a faint smirk. “Amren, do you have any unprejudiced thoughts on the topic?”
Amren snorted indelicately at his innuendo and gave him a feral grin before speaking. “It always makes sense to prepare for the worst. Only a fool sits around idly and hopes for the best. Anyone who does nothing to prepare themselves deserves the horrible fate that falls on them. Let’s be damn sure that happens to someone else and not us.”
“And spending more time in Varian’s company is just an added benefit, hmm?” Mor smirked openly at Amren. Surprising everyone, Amren simply winked back. Feyre let out a laugh, and the other’s began to add their own thoughts to the benefits of training together.
The discussion continued but Nesta wasn’t listening, instead going over in her mind what Amren had said about being prepared. She thought back to her training sessions during the war, the endless hours sitting across from Amren, trying to learn as much as possible about the power that might be inside of her. At the time they hadn’t been sure there was any power, but her confrontation with Hybern answered that question. If she could have had more time to train, more time to practice, would it have made a difference in the war? Could she have prevented so many lost lives? Could she have prevented her father’s murder? Or protected Cassian from being broken yet again?
Was she being a fool, like Amren said, for doing nothing this past month, hiding in her rooms, afraid of the darkness still swirling inside of her? Glancing up, she found Amren was staring at her, and Nesta couldn’t look away. Even though her eyes were no longer ethereal, they still blazed with strength. Amren gave a slight nod to Nesta, as if she had been listening to her inner monologue.
“I want to train, too.” The room went dead silent at Nesta’s pronouncement. All eyes turned to stare at her, but she didn’t notice. She was still watching Amren, who gave a firm nod of approval. Nesta squared her shoulders and looked around at everyone at the table, meeting their stares. Elain and Feyre had small grins on their faces. Mor seemed a bit shocked but still had an angry glare on her face, while the males just seemed dumbfounded that she had spoken in the first place. Rhys cleared his throat, composing his features, and said, “Good. The more you learn about the power inside of you the better you’ll be able to control it. Since we still don’t know exactly what that power entails, we’ll all take turns working with you until you feel comfortable and natural using it. It’s a part of you now and like any skill or talent it needs refining.”
Nesta nodded, then turned to look at Cassian and said, “I also want to train how to fight with my hands. With weapons. Like the female warriors in the Illyrian camps. Like Feyre and Morrigan did during the battles.” Mor visibly jumped in her seat at Nesta’s inclusion of her, and looked back and forth between Cassian and Nesta. She didn’t know what Morrigan saw, but Nesta watched her relax slightly, still with a frown on her face. Cassian’s eyes shone with so much pride she had to turn away before she embarrassed herself. But she didn’t flinch away when he reached for her hand under the table and held it tightly.
Nesta looked at Feyre and Elain who quickly smoothed away the wide grins they each had on their faces. Rolling her eyes, Nesta blushed and tried to pull her hand away from Cassian, but he refused to let her go. Grinning himself, he said, “I think it’s time we all relocated to the camp for a few weeks, don’t you think?” Everyone murmured their approval and started to disperse to get ready to leave later that day.
Rising from the table, Cassian kept a tight grip on Nesta’s hand and walked her to her room. Pausing at her door, he faced her, searching her face. Finally, he asked her, “Are you sure about this?”
Blowing out a breath, she replied, “I’m not sure of anything anymore. All I know is, that after I decided I wanted to train, I felt…different. Better? Like a weight has started to lift from my shoulders. It’s still there, but lighter. I don’t know how to explain it-“ She stopped when Cassian reached up to touch her check with the back of his fingers. He was looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
“I know exactly what you mean. It’s how I felt when Rhys and Azriel and I found each other in the training camp. Before that, I was alone and weighed down with so many burdens on my back every day. After we got together, I didn’t feel like I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders by myself anymore.” He paused, looking into her eyes, before he lowered his voice and admitted, “I’m very proud of you for being willing to train, Nesta.”
Blushing furiously, she looked away. No one had ever been proud of her before, or at least admitted it to her. Then she remembered her father and his three ships named after all three of his daughters, his flagship named after her. And she realized he had been proud of her and that she wanted to live up to that pride he had in her. Looking back at Cassian, she discovered she also wanted to be worthy of the pride this Illyrian warrior had for her, too. She gave him a small smile to say thank you and squeezed his hand.
Raising her hand to his lips, he kissed her fingers and said, “I have to run a few errands before we depart. I’ll be back to fly you to the camp with me in a few hours.” Winking at her, he turned and walked back down the hall.
Nesta watched him leave, then went in search of Feyre. Grinning to herself, she had a few preparations of her own to make as well.

Steve Jobs: Three Steps to Making Connections that Matter
William James wrote that “The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” If that’s true, Steve Jobs may have been one of the wisest men of the late 20th century. Jobs may not have been a “creator,” but his sense of design touches almost all of our daily lives—even if you’ve never used an Apple product in your life. It’s hard to think of a product released in the last few decades that hasn’t emulated Jobs’ and Apple’s aesthetic of simplicity.
In the mid-1970s, Jobs dropped out of college to travel through India. While recovering from dysentery, he read Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, which began a fascination with Buddhism that would last the rest of his life. According to his friend Larry Brilliant, “Steve had been flirting with the idea of being sadhu,” meaning becoming an ascetic who has renounced worldly goods.
While this might seem an odd career path for someone who eventually headed one of the most pervasive technology companies in the world, those interests, and that mindset led to a lifelong quest to make things so simple and obvious in their design and function that they were almost intuitive to use at first glance.
Making things simple is more than just making things easy
That simplicity is the first lesson we can take from him. Simplicity is more than just making things easy. If that were the case, iPhones and Macs would have on/off switches. Simplicity means anticipating how a user will perceive a product and how the product will make sense to people. The process of taking a product or an idea to its most basic and necessary elements takes time, though. In 1988, Jobs told Business Week “That’s been one of my mantras—simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
People’s lives are complicated enough. We don’t want to read instruction manuals on how to use a product. We buy it, take it out of the box, and want to use it right away. So it behooves a designer or a writer to take the time to figure out the message a product or content is conveying and how customers receive it. An informative message will go unread if it’s too complicated or confusing. The most powerful phone or computer in the world will sit on a desk gathering dust if it takes an advanced degree to run it.
Along with that simplicity, though, must come innovation. Think of the first time you saw or used a smartphone. The attraction wasn’t just that it was easy to use (a rubber band is easy to use), it was that it was innovative. It was something people had never seen before, yet presented in a way that was both new and intuitive. “Well, of course! Why didn’t anyone ever think of that before?”
“You can’t ask customers what they want and then give it to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new”—Steve Jobs
Enrich Your Life With New Experiences…and Ask Questions
It’s easy enough to say “be innovative” (or “Think Different,” as Apple’s famous tagline proclaimed), but how does a person do it? Unfortunately, while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to that question, having that very problem is actually a strength in Jobs’s view. In 1982, in accepting an award from the Academy of Achievement, he said, “If you’re gonna make connections which are innovative…you have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does…or else you’re going to make the same connections (as everybody else), and then you won’t be innovative, and then nobody will give you an award.”
Jobs encouraged his audiences and employees to take advantage of their uniqueness and to do neither what was expected nor what the person next door was doing. In his speech to the Academy, he encouraged listeners to take the time to travel, to see and experience things, to read, and to try different things. He said, “I heard about some kid that’s 14 on his way to Stanford, and that’s great…but you might want to think about going to Paris and being a poet for a few years. Or you might want to go to a third-world country. It’s very much, so worth doing.”
The more we experience—and especially personally, not just vicariously—not only will our lives be richer, but we’ll also be better trained to notice new things. Experience allows us to see connections between things that others may not notice. But even as exposure to the new and unfamiliar will broaden and deepen a person, simplicity shouldn’t be forgotten.
The simplest question of all is “Why?” Children ask this all the time, not just because they don’t understand how things work, but also to make the unfamiliar familiar—to make connections between what they know and what they don’t. If we can think like children—not in a childish way, but to strip away our preconceptions and assumptions about what things are and how they work, we can make new connections and innovations. We shouldn’t take things for granted, but ask how they can be bettered.
Making something “simpler” or “better” doesn’t always mean less complicated, though. Sometimes an additional feature or step can make the difference between not quite right and just right. There’s a famous anecdote about Jobs and the first iPhone. It was virtually ready to be produced when
“Jobs holds the device in his hand…He takes the headphone jack and inserts it into the iPod. The engineers await in tense silence. Something is wrong, and Jobs hasn’t even hit play yet.
He takes the jack out and inserts it again. Then he does it again. Dread descends on the group. The planned launch is only days away. Jobs frowns and finally pronounces, “Where’s the click?”
The exhausted engineers sag, “Click? What are you talking about?”
“I mean that people need a click when they insert the jack,” says Jobs. “Without the click, they won’t know that it’s properly in there. They will keep working it and worrying with the headphones until they break. The solution is not elegant. This is not design thinking.”
When a person can notice those “clicks” (or lack thereof) in things, connections and innovations can be made—but only if one has the awareness and breadth of experience to notice them.
Creativity Is Just Connecting Things
In a previous entry about Mark Twain, we noted that Twain believed that there were no original ideas. He said, “The kernel, the soul—let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual and valuable material of all human utterances—is plagiarism. … It takes a thousand men to invent the telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or the telephone or any other important thing—and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others. With this in mind, it almost behooves us to expose ourselves to as much knowledge and inspiration we can find from any source to synthesize it and, ironically, make it our own.”
Jobs was of much the same mind. In 1995, he told Wired Magazine: “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’d had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’d had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.”
A lot of people who haven’t had very diverse experiences end up with linear solutions to problems because they don’t have a broad perspective. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better innovations we will have.
In the same interview, he said
“The Web reminds me of the early days of the PC industry. No one really knows anything. There are no experts. All the experts have been wrong. There’s a tremendous open possibility to the whole thing. And it hasn’t been confined, or defined, in too many ways. That’s wonderful. There’s a phrase in Buddhism, “Beginner’s mind.” It’s wonderful to have a beginner’s mind.”
Jobs was by no means perfect or a role model; famously, he could be downright awful to people. We shouldn’t emulate the thought processes that brought on his bad behavior. However, his commitment to being exposed to as many experiences as possible and looking at things in unprejudiced ways to make them simpler and/or better are things we can all do; it just takes patience, observation, practice, and the commitment to make the good better and the better as perfect as possible.
