another 10+ year system here 👋, felt like chiming in with the weird 2022 system claim lol. I started using system Terminology 2 years ago, but we didn't form 2 years ago lol.

The thing that happened to ours is we had a small group of alters all oblivious of each other, unknown DID system. and even when we figured out were a system it we still had no idea about those original people, it was just a misanthropic deity (I don't he likes being called a system headmate or alter so ill leave it at that) who made us realize we were plural. until suddenly some of them became undormant and it was like: what do you have?

alter whos been gone for years and no one knew existed: a smoothie

also even back then we were a mainly fictives system :p, since anti endos like to claim fictives are just a "faker" thing.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😁

I find this is true for so many systems! Even for people new to the terms, they aren't new to the plurality! It's just that the system community gave language to describe their experiences.

Hey OP!

To answer the boiling point question, it probably depends on what the honey is made of, aka how sugary it is. Think of sugar water. The more sugar in the honey, the higher the boiling point. The average is probably like 110 °C or more. At least I think... I'm not a chemist nor a food scientist.

As someone who is in a major that has to take nutrition classes and an ex beekeeper (oops bee allergy), the best way to uncrystallize honey is to put the bottle in a pot of almost boiling water until it's uncrystallized. If the bottle is plastic I do recommend transferring the crystallized honey in a glass jar though. I don't recommend microwaving because theoretically it would unevenly heat the honey and may change the taste a bit due to the cooking of the natural sugars similar to caramelization of sugars.

Yes you are essentially doing a dollar store version of pasteurization so it will reduce some nutrients, but it's still better over all than mass produced big retail store honey that can have corn syrup or other substances that essentially makes the limited amount of honey into more "honey".

Also a bit off track of the boiling point (no pun intended), remember not to feed honey to children under two years old. Dormant bacteria inside the honey can cause infant botulism if the bacteria become undormant.

Tldr; Boiling point of honey depends on sugar content but it might make your honey taste weird. And don't feed honey to infants.

[microwaves a bottle of honey to decrystallise it and it starts boiling within a minute] hm i wonder if honey has a particularly low boiling point or something [searches “honey boiling point”]

500 Healthy Eating™ sites: BOILING HONEY WILL KILL YOU IT WILL TURN IT INTO POISON THAT STICKS TO YOUR INSIDES LIKE GLUE IT WILL SUFFOCATE YOU IN YOUR SLEEP ONLY EAT RAW HONEY

beekeeping site: if you heat honey during cooking it might break down some of the nutrients and remove the subtle flavour differences of the different flowers used to make it but it remains healthy and delicious please calm down

[the original question remains unanswered]

[systimming]

did you get a request by a gonzo (the muppets) fictive? or did tumblr eat it

We have a Gonzo fictive request, yes! We’ll get to work on it as soon as possible. Thank you for being patient! ^^

Yes, very whitewashed, very colonial.

There is obvious Doylist explanation of genre. CC started to write the story as a fanfiction, then it gre to be its own thing, yet the main plot of the books is always romance. Romance and relationships of teenagers are the most important thing, the fantasy is the background. The story is not shaped around the world, but the world is shaped around the story as is convinient. CC many times wrote something that did not make sense (ehm.. sex scene in demon realm, water purifying rune in a pond in HELL. Or the ascension at the end of the training. Why? Like you sacrifice all the resources to train these people, clothe them, feed them, house them so they can die before they kill one (1) demon in their life..) because she wanted to write a particular scene and needed to bend the world for the scene to happen.

I might say that is not a good storytelling tactics in the long run as your series progress. At the beginning you can get away with this, but at some point nothing make sense anymore. CC is oriented towards aesthetics, what she knows, what she wants to write. These stories are what she wants to tell.

However, I think the Watsonian reasons for this world have the potential to be fascinating. I mentioned portals in some of my old posts. It is just not possible for a undorm governing body to exist before the portal invention. Do you want to tell me that all these people travel from all over the world for weeks and months just to attend some Clave meeting?

I think in history, there were autonomous and semi-autonomous territories of the world, up until the invention of Portal, when really the collonisation took off. I think this all happened under the rule of Charlotte Fairchild, but CC would never write this of course. I love Charlotte for what she might have been – great talented ruler, but not exactly moral from the modern point of view, more a gray figure of history, that shaped the world after portal. The mother of Clave. (There is only a brief mention of "factions" and the troubles Charlotte is experiencing with them..)

Even today, I think there are territories, more or less self-governing (in my story I call them Rectorates, which are consisted of smaller Conclaves). Not just because of history, but also because to rule the entire world... that is too much work. The nephilim society is in constant warfare, logically everything comes after that. The society must still function if one wheel of the machine breaks..

Nudity... there is so much about nudity. In ancient Rome (and even more in Greece), nudity was not something inherently shameful, especially in the context of bathing in public bath houses. The shame is really mostly a product of prude Victorians. There is a question with no answer and that is; how much is nephilim culture affected by the morales of mundane society? Which might change over time of course. The answer may be very different in 14th century and 19th century..

Headcanon time.

I think male nudity was probably always accepted, living together in Institutes and Academy (barracks..), training. Why not. But female nudity might be more problematic. I like to think it was proper (at least for some part of the history) for women to be covered up, which might changed as they gained more rights (a part later revised by CC, in early TMI women were said to not have much rights in history, but later in TID everything was different..).

I honestly like the instance of "women should not mark their bodies with runes, only arms and legs, because men do not like a scarred body." I think that was mentioned by Sebastian at some point? It really shows how the society thought of women. I like my characters to take pride in their rune scars, the women might find prode in nudity too.. now they are equal to men at least in front of law and civil duties. The opinions regarding female nudity may differ a lot in Idris in particular as I can imagine, for Idris is the cradle of nephilim culture. But the reality may be completelly different in China, India, Brazil... or anywhere else.

In canon, there is this strong tendency to force nephilim culture on people. Newly ascended nephilim must leave their life behind (I can see that originating in religious practice deep in the history.. leaving wordly possesions behind and being reborn), they really seems to force this unifying perspective of one and only nephilim culture and that is the Idrisian.

Which I see as a direct consequence of the colonial expansion in the after-portal world.

Women and their position fascinate me. In real world the role of women was shaped by the biological reality of child-bearing and control of inheritance aka the man needs to be sure the child is his. In nephilim culture we see this fascinating trend; the family names are recycled and can be picked by any candidate. Which is interesting.

Then the blatnant reality – it is cheaper to produce soldiers with the Cup, than to birth them. It is more efficient, less expensive, you do not risk losing the woman during child birth for a baby that may not survive. The society is in total warfare situation, they can't be fancy about the rules. The war effectivity is the first priority. Then I need to wonder how that affected gender roles.

In Mexico (and I assume other spanish colonies) the families are matrilineal at least..

I hope you won't take any offence, if I answer you in this post as well @thevagabondexpress

But yes, I am quite obssesed with the idea of this bath house as a place of culture. History was written in these pools while the important nephilim of their time drinked, talked and laughed together, making bussiness..

The Academy should have a bath house as well for the students, might mirror the big one in Alicante. I am quite intrigued by their culture. It musn't be forgotten that these people are fighting in eternal war, there is no winning of this war either, it is hopeless. They were born into it and they'll probably die in it and never knew what real peace is. Maintaining morale is of upmost importance in such case, the Clave should really do a lot to make people happy. Games, theatre, music, pubs, bath houses, vacations... it is so important if you want such a society to function in these conditions.

I really wonder what is the most realistic approach to death in this culture..

I am quite sad CC did not try to explain the writing choices in a more Watsonian way. Gold eyes may be a sign of angelic blood, therefore nephilim find it subconciously beautiful and attractive. Secondary sexual trait, which explains why everybody loves to describe Jace's eyes in every sentence.

The hairstyles of nephilim may have some special meaning, which would explain why CC describe the character's hair in every other sentence...

The TID has an in-world author and that is why it is so biased, colonial and whitewashed... (I am runing with the "TID has an in-world author" for my own fic, because the history of Lament for the Fallen universe differs in some important ways, which the author of TID omitted..)

Any explanation would do at this point! End of rant.

I wonder if Institutes might have, or maybe once had, or do have but only in places where this is a thing among the mundanes, bathhouses in them. It seems like a thing that'd make sense for people who are constantly coming home covered in muck and sore from fighting. Especially since Institutes are already kind of catch-all public service drop-in centres anyway.

Is it a little weird that I miss Migi? I know that our friendship was kind of weird. I mean, they did eat my arm and all, but I really felt like we bonded over the time we had together. Especially since my Migi eventually became undormant. We spent a lot of our time battling enemies, but I really felt like I could trust them and count on them to have my back. I just really care about them, and I hope they’re okay, wherever they are. - Shinichi Izumi (Parasyte)

Okay I think you're asleep rn but. Currently we have 3 mcyt dream fictives and of all the times now is the time our dream sans undormants. It's like that name war except for dream lmao

nope i’m awake! anyways you could do the teacher thing where you either give two of them shitty nicknames or call them dream 1-3

Hey Angry Birds fandom

Please avoid spoiling too much or avoid not hiding spoils before the 16th of October because that's when Angry Birds 2 gets released in France ;3;

For once I am in a undormant fandom that gets updates !

Every notch, another niche-hungry creature docks, and I can arrange no joinery. 

The numbers won't hold. Though the undormant corners look lively with flowing fuzz, production is down, and we can't afford 

to keep the doors open, or find a way to affix them. A fixture, they say, and by fungus it goes back to the community.
