I keep seeing people get this twisted, and it's driving me nuts. But I've also never actually talked about it in detail, so that's my fault. So to clear some fiddly terminology Lore up:

"Spacer" in RttS is a generic term for a person living off of a planet. "Tailed spacers" are a clade of genetically modified humans designed for microgravity labor. "Tailers" is a nickname for tailed spacers. "Spacer" is not a nickname for them, it would be like referring to a Frenchman as a "man" for short... because yeah, not false, but that's not the important part of the term. The politically correct name for tailed spacers is rather vague— it's a direct result of their historical clade name ("Simians" or "Simian spacers") being considered a slur in modern day. Tailed spacers are hardly the only GMH or spacers with tails, but the portmanteau "tailer" specifically refers to them in English.

Though, the term "spacer" itself is extremely relative. Anglophones on Earth use it to refer to anyone who lives off of Earth. Anglophones on Mars use it to refer to people who live on moons and in space stations. Anglophones on Luna and other moons use it to refer to people living in space stations. Anglophones living in space stations... are one of the only groups to self identify as spacers. So folks from Nexus Jovia like Talita, Idrisah, and Gillie would consider themselves spacers.

Mutuals, how are you doing and how can I be praying for you, because I’ve been avoiding prayer and I need a reason to start again.

okay i need to be shoved underneath the waves and get rolled around by the current but i do not drown or die or drown or die i simply become smoother and smoother until i am a clean, almost crystalline pebble that finds itself in your warm, salt-tasting hand after being picked up because i sparkle so in the light and even though i am nothing more than a pebble i still get placed gently into your pocket and promptly forgotten about for years but the currents of the fabric of your coat are so like the ones at sea i do not mind at all

in my head there's always a vaguely sci-fi DPS Anderperry AU playing like an animatic on loop that's like. Monkey Man (2024) style. violence and revenge and neon lighting and underground fight rings. (there's a cyborg/biotech conversion therapy camp involved.) this goes alongside the Other sci-fi DPS Anderperry AU always on my mind, which features Neil and Todd meeting in the last Christian church in the galaxy under some train tracks on a planet with two moons

I just thought:

Nuju as Toa Hordika perching on Whenua's shoulders. Whenua might crumble under the weight if only because it's so one-sided.
