Idea I got from playing with the Moon chat bot

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

i’m craving cherik in the apocalypse again….

post nuclear-apocalypse lets go 🫡

lets say Shaw manages to start the cold war and now most of the planet is destroyed and nearly everyone is dead except for a select few (cherik)

it’s been a year since they all started living in the mansion’s bunker and things are not going well 🙁❌❌

food and water are getting low, people are having fights, two people died while going outside and cherik are not talking to eachother because they had a really bad fight or something (idk i need some form of tension for them to overcome)

lets say for story sake, Charles needs to go on a quest to find a missing item for Hank’s new invention that’s probably important and Erik decides to go with him

and then yadda yadda yadda, they traverse through the wastelands, meet new societies, nearly die a few times, get over themselves and makeup/out, find the item they were looking for and somehow make it back to the bunker faster than how they left

uhh happily ever after except you can still barely breath the air

very fun 😁 if anyone wants to write this feel free to do so i will gladly read it 🫡🫡

I'm reading William Hinton's Fanshen, a case study of land reform in a Chinese village during the civil war and this story about a peasant committee arguing about the class status of a blacksmith is making me lose it:

"He's a middle peasant because he earns good money as a blacksmith, and besides his work is no good. Last year he cheated me. He charged me an awful price but the work was no good and even the iron was poor. He exploited me." "He's not skillful; we all know that," said a grey-bearded elder. "But if you don't want to be exploited by him you can always call in others to do the work. It's different with the landlords. With them you have no choice. You pay rent or you starve. But with Huan-ch'ao, if you don't like his work you can always take your job elsewhere." "Go ahead, say what you think," said [Huan-ch'ao] himself, scowling darkly. "Your opinions are very good and I would be the last to get angry." "Truth is," said a second widow, "the tools you make are no good. You really should improve your workmanship." "I accept your criticism," said Huan-ch'ao, desperately trying to hold back his rising temper. He knew that to explode now would land him in the middle-peasant category for sure. "He's never been a skillful blacksmith," the grey-bearded man said again. "But if you say that for this reason he exploits you, then all blacksmiths must become very gloomy indeed."

This is in fact very consequential because it will determine how much land might get redistributed to him, but fucking imagine having to go to a meeting where 20 of your neighbors go "His work sucks shit and he charges too much. He's a landlord!" and another 20 of your neighbors go "Hey! We all know his work sucks shit, but that doesn't make him a landlord!"

Magic-user Chilchuck - Early on, he happens to encounter code-breaking magic, which is lock-picking taken to its logical extreme. Skeptical but intrigued, he seeks out mana practice (training that increases mana capacities, within reason) then de facto founds a new magic style that minimizes mana and maximizes impact. Why kill with an explosion when a thousandth of the mana can interrupt a cardiac electrical circuit, causing immediate death? Hypothetically, of course.

His magic work causes strife with some half-foot factions, as well as catalyzes regular audits from western elves. Since "half-magic" (derisively coined by elves and tongue-in-cheek used by half-foots) uses so little raw power, their charges levied never pan out. He's been subtly threatened more than once by them for getting into subpractices that use too much power, though. So, he keeps his work proprietary, under incredible lock and key. The price is the barrier this creates for training new half-magic users.

Chilchuck is still fundamentally a lock-pick and navigator, but he can crack magic locks, navigates using charmed maps, and holds his own in mediation against the long-lived races. His name is bigger than he'd like. Rumor has it that he's carried out assassinations using untraceable small magic. (He can't meaningfully deny the hearsay, so he doesn't try, but he keeps his head down.) By the time he joins the Toudens, he loathes elves, but also has some envy. As he ages, he realizes how little time he has left to document and transmit his work to other half-foots.
