Hi! So the concepts I’m talking about show up more in Jurassic Park and Sphere, and in both books there are many characters who abandon/turn on each other for their own survival. Hope this helps!
Michael Crichton’s idea that humans are inherently selfish and will look out for their own survival vs. Andy Weir’s idea that as social creatures humans will connect with and help others, fight.
I'm not the first or last to see this and post it but this is my serotonin for today.
rb this post to give the person u rbed it from a pretty fall leaf :]
Shigaraki: What do you know about UA?
Kaminari: Nothing important.
Toga: Izuku?
Kaminari: Midoriya is the dekusquad's problem.
Twice: Do you know about the hero comitee? That was a stupid question!
Kaminari: I got nada.
Dabi; Do you know anything?
Kaminari: Not really. I'm the idiot bi you see.
Mina: What should I do when people are flirting with me and I don’t want them to?
Kaminari: Either say in the most toddler voise possible “this is harassment” or chant “gay gay homosexual gay”
Midoriya: Honestly why do so many people have weird side things that have nothing to do with their quirks?
Tokoyami: I hate you too.
Bakugou: There is a thin line between joking and clinically insane. You use that line as a jump rope.
Kaminari: *giggling*
I just want a more talented author to take this off my hands. It’s not going well.
Emanator Sampard
Becoming an emanator is a two way street. You have to get the gaze of an Aeon and then accept the power they grant you (like how the trailblazer had to actually take the lance)
Qlipoth wants Gepard as an emanator since he’s a great protector, sacrifices himself for Belobog, etc.
Gepard does not want to become an emanator and spread Qlipoth’s will. He wants to stay in Belobog and protect it and his family
Gepard is also being terrible about this whole thing. He’s given up on being civil and is basically biting at Qlipoth’s hand
Qlipoth is frustrated but stubborn
Enter Aha, who shows up to bother Qlipoth
Offers to help (for the chaos ofc)
Qlipoth accepts
Aha sends their emanator (Sampo) to go convince Gepard
Whoops they are now thrown together due to Aeon Shenanigans
They learn about each other as Sampo tries to convince Gepard and they fall in love? Somewhere along the way?
Today’s Adventure is that I, after an unintentional 13-hour power nap,
Got woken up at 6AM by a phone call from a friend stranded in Montana because of the heat wave and almost no cell service because of their crap provider.
OhSoThat'sHowIt'sGonnaBe.jpg
Ok.
I somehow summon a week’s worth of spoons and in less than 30 minutes and 5 phone calls, get them
A hotel
An appointment with a mechanic from 2 states away
A perscription refilled from 2 states away
and A Pizza
Go me.
But then it’s 8AM and there are unscheduled live humans at the door and while EVERGENCY MODE is still on, I have already blown through a ton of spoons, and also probably shouldn’t meet whoever it is wearing just a pair of bootyshorts that say “CRYPTID” in Gothic Font on my ass.
So I greet them in those shorts and a T-shirt that I manage to put on both inside out and backwards

It is, Fortunately, not the mormons.
it is, Unfortunately, two UPS guys trying to deliver my other in-house friend’s new phone except the new guy doesn’t know how to operate the “sign for package” device, and the old guy that’s supposed to be mentoring him is like, 92, deaf as a post, and doesn’t actually know how to operate the device either.
by the way
it is already
over 100 out
it takes almost 30 minutes to sign for the phone
when i get back inside, i discover that apparently the Corgi has learned how to open his kennel from the inside because he is now out of the kennel and waiting for me to come in.
he also has cat litter all over his face because while he was waiting for me he also learned how to open the baby gate to the cat’s room and help himself to a cat shit breakfast.
He’ll be fine
He’s a cattle dog, they’re legally required to have at least 1 really disgusting snack they love.
but
more to the point
i have no idea at what point he learned to open his kennel from the inside
has he been staying there out of politeness this whole time??
And
I got other shit to do today.
namely.
I’m seeing a realator
The Devils most pathetic yet effective demons
I get a reminder text that I have an appointment with her
at least
I think that’s what it is because what she sends me is: “🏡⏰12:00 ❔”
With the time typed in the middle like that.
She is, according to her profile, at least 80.
so I reply “😎👍”
and then she sends me a string of GODDAMN POST-MODERN EMOJI HEIROGLYPHICS THAT TAKE UP MY ENTIRE SCREEN.
She’s on an iPhone so half of them don’t even translate across platforms
It takes me half an hour and three different software programs and goddamn wingdings to translate, but she has sent me the address and rules about masking and not wearing shoes inside.
in emoji
instead of like
literally any other format
I am
FASCINATED
and simply must meet the woman so if I don’t come back to update I got stolen by the fairies but I’m taking the Corgi with me as protection so I’ll see y'all later.
Could not sleep due to wing thoughts last night, so here you go
Note: I’m working off the assumption the wing base goes from the shoulder blade to a little above where your ribs end. Also that wings are about three times your height in length, so you can’t really pull things over them.
Washing - Wings are very difficult to wash on your own, often family, lovers, or even close friends will help each other wash wings. There are devices to wash your wings on your own, but it’s more difficult and it’s considered better for others to do it.
Bras- The most common has a central back strap and hooks to the sides under the wings, with two straps in the front. Doctors don’t recommend since the do put pressure on the back of the neck. 2nd best is basically a corset. Worst is middle strap that uses the neck for support with a triangle piece in the front since it puts a lot of weight on the neck. Also hooks to the side and possibly on the neck.
Shirts- Tend to button/zip/etc. under the wings for pullovers. Button-ups and jackets tend to button over the wings.
Medical - Wings braced with rods attached to back piece, attachment to back piece and wing joint piece in rod have adjustable angles to keep correct wing shape. Back braces have wing slits from the top and buckle at the sides to put on, slightly uncomfortable and working on being improved. Sometimes feathers must be plucked to bandage wounds, hurts the same way waxing hair does just larger scale. Shed and grow the same way as hair.
Growing up - Children have down that turns to flight feathers during puberty. Controversy about schools teaching flight, considered “too dangerous” and “a parent’s job”.
Flying laws - A combo of driving and air traffic laws. Air tech invented a lot earlier. Airplanes are a lot like cars, they fly higher than people due to regulations. Commercial fly highest because of pressurized cabins. There are different landing zones for people and planes, advised to stay far away from opposing landing zones.
There’s still a lot of ground transport since flying is a lot of work and airplanes require a lot of fuel. I minute of flying with gliding is the same as a one minute jog, flying takes a lot of stamina. Flying is also seen as more risky than ground transport since there is a higher chance of injury.
Mina: Im going to kill the mango man
Kaminari: Why?
Mina: He stole my chips
