is it weird dice wednesday? someone donated these to the donation center where I work. they appear to be made of some kind of powdery clay. I thought they were dried out marshmallows at first. I'm not sure why anyone would get rid of their homemade dice, I find them quite charming.

it's always weird dice wednesday somewhere

some little hcs for hearthian parenting :] in dot points because i am sleepy. happy to elaborate on anything if need be! cw some kinda weird specbio stuff

it is not at all defined by blood/biology. genetic links are 100% recorded for health reasons, but they do not determine social relationships. this doesn't mean it's impossible for someone's biological offspring to be their quote-unquote hatchling! just that this is either pure luck or some sort of Circumstance™ and has nothing to do with who made them (ie, in the case of my hatchling bes and gossan, it was a case of them comes out-of-season following a pretty rough period, meaning that the bio-social role of Caretaker went to whoever had most recently had eggs at the time. ie gossan)

on the topic of caretakers! young tadpoles (the first 5 or so years of their life) are looked after by specialised members of the community who will groom and feed them (having the anatomy and instinct allowing them to do these things—since young babies rely on crop-milk for a bit, like pigeons. lala i love pigeons please don't be weird about this). think of it like sex-changing in some fish species. a lack of a certain "role" will lead to certian individuals undergoing certain changes, thoufh in the case of hearthians these are generally temporary and change with hormonal fluctuations etc.

a "parent", then, is less of a caretaker and something in between a teacher and mentor figure. a hatchling will imprint onto an adult or group of adults and learn from them, which includes eating with them, sleeping with them, and generally forming a close bond. it's much less strict than a nomai parenting bond, and contains both less and more work, in a way, since the care of young tadpoles is up to village caretakers and the teaching of skills is up to what i call "parents". which may not even be the best term but it sounds cute

solanum, in my au, does understand this. however due to her nature as a nomai, who have much stricter and more enclosed familial ties, she sort of latches onto one parental figure to feel secure. this is gossan, naturally having been (semi begrudgingly LMAO) babysitting duty. she's their hatchling, technically, since they train her, though they haven't the foggiest what she thinks of them as. they have w couple chats, work something out, and they agree to ... whatever it is. the thing it's some sort of job title. it sort of is.

there's some grammar mistakes that cause me to believe someone is a native speaker and some that give the image of a non-native speaker
