Something I think people don't touch on that often but could be interesting is the fact that Tighnari and Cyno have actually very similar jobs, but the game gives more attention to the "persecution" side of Cyno's, while Tighnari's is more about the "prevention" of harm (to both people and the environment). We know via 'A Short Encounter with a Rare Bird' that poaching exists in Sumeru, but while it's handled by a Corps of Thirty guard in that quest, irl Forest Ranger patrols are also countermeasures against poaching. It's an interesting parallel, and it would be cool to explore more in Collei's hangout, or see Cyno do stuff like 'Heizou Talks Fraud' (Cyno Talks Ethics/Blasphemy Against Teyvat's Laws?? Although he also kind of got Collei to do that in his SQ)

.... can the undead also be considered necromancers. this is very important to me right now.

because the Ingellvar background says that Rook was found and raised by necromancers, but I think I'm more entertained by the idea of my Mourn Watch Rook Marcus having been literally raised by the undead.

in Soviet Nevarra, the dead raise you.

(also it tracks, he'd be a dude who is horribly awkward not because he's autistic, but because his mommy is a mummy, and this is the longest conversation he's had with a living person in years.)

(i mean he is also most likely autistic, but that's not why he's awkward.)

Finished figuring out prompts for AbiDan-pril 2026!!! Idk why I did that, but I had fun hahah (I might re-do a few because they're too similar to my inspiration lists so 🤔). Still working on AbiTou-ber 2026 (assuming I will still be working on stuff for that ship in 2 years, and if I don't... well, maybe I'll have another ship I can push the prompts onto~)

I'm actually gonna' start working on sketches and stuff for AbiDan-pril soon, and I'm both excited and anxious because wow that's gonna be purely OC related art!

X-Files' Philes! Question:

X-Files fans/writers, I have extensive records (read: emails) of my fic journey. But there are going to be inevitable negative opinions on either popular fics/meta opinions/writing styles that were extremely distasteful to me (according to my thoughts, preferences or "NO THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT WAY" opinions.) How should I handle those reviews/reflections/references?

Genuine question that I can't find an answer for anywhere: Do Americans typically pronounce the phrase 'trick or treat' with the stress on the word trick, rather than the word treat?

kind of sad that no one in the gang really has a relationship with dee anymore. like i know she's forever been the laughing stock of the group but at least by the end of an episode they would come together as a group (the end of s15 for example) but i just feel that overall dee's been divided? from the gang's dynamic

I did not expect it to be so depressing! Thought it was just gonna be another fun and happy adventure with the kids with just a slight hint of lore BUT THEN THE ENTIRE THING WAS JUST STRAIGHT-UP LORE AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

That spooky month episode was so SAD what the FUCK
