Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham's own posts on drift compatibility and drifting

Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic

The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible

Drift compatibility is potential, not fate

Drift compatibility can be a choice

Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility

The drift requires trust

Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others' moves

That even includes multiplayer video games

Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships

A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts

Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse

Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by

Pilots communicate through "headspace"

Illustration of a conversation in headspace

First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don't understand each others' minds very well yet

The drift exposes pilots to each others' raw, unfiltered thoughts

Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say

The drift doesn't let you read your partner's mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he's calm and stable.

Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation

Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger

Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble

General information plus info on RABITs

You can chase your partner's RABIT

Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting

Partners' personalities can rub off on each other

Neural overload doesn't hit you all at once; it accumulates

The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it's a steep curve from fine to dead

More info on solo piloting

Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT

US-based writers: don't miss out on getting into the class action suit against Anthropic / LibGen

Apparently the deadline is tomorrow. (See the Bluesky posting over here for useful URLs.)

...Just doublechecked my entries in their database. They scraped essentially everything I've ever written. And confused Diane Wynne Jones with me, ffs. ...FUCKERS.

If you are US-based, get yourself on that list. Here's its URL:

Hello! I'm here, again, to try once more to help my friend Z and her cat find a safe place to live away from her relentlessly abusive family. She's managed to find a place with a friend, but they need that first deposit and a bit of funds to help get them there. She's not doing well both mentally and physically with her family constantly at her throat, and we're really worried that if she continues to stay in this situation it will genuinely kill her.

The barebones goal: $1400 (This covers the deposit and some moving expenses)

The Ideal goal: $2000 (This would cover the deposit, all moving expenses, replacements for personal items she won't be able to take, and food and cat care)

We completely understand that everyone is going through a very rough time right now, and we don't expect or want folks to donate when they're already struggling.

I do ask, however, for you to like this post, reblog it/share it around/repost it, and preferably read the full story over on the campaign page so it gets more views. It only takes a few seconds out of the day, and it can really help!

Thank you so much for reading, and please don't hesitate to message me with any questions or for more info.

rereading Guardians of Ga'Hoole as an adult is kinda wack... you thought Warrior cats was bloody and intense for an 8 year old, try:

a series of 15 unassuming owl books with pretty covers

less than 180 pages apiece

teach you a brutal lesson about the insidious evils of fascism

and the power of personal choice over either nature OR nurture

complete with such incredible made-up jargon as "yoicks" "yarp" and "gizzardly instinct"

gender of any given character does not matter in any way (nearly every character could be gender-swapped and it would not meaningfully change their place in the story)

this includes legendary female rogue blacksmiths, male brood-hens, and more

plenty of blood and guts

owls are aware of their latin names e.g. Tyto alba or Bubo virginianius and regularly refer to themselves using these in dialogue

humans mysteriously disappeared ages ago and seemingly left behind absolutely no trace of their presence aside from churches

please read these books.
