Just listing features of the light breeds

Lightweaver: long whiskers, buggy/batty spines, wings and ears, gangly legs

Imperials: antlers, short legs, fringed wings, long whiskers, shining scales, long bodies. Value the perfection of a craft and are vulnerable in aerial combat.

Pearlcatchers: horn, long whiskers. Their pearls are viewed as a physical record of their memories and experiences, each layer they make is a continuation of their life story. Architecture is important enough that they have styles for each clan. Attack long range and flee as soon as the enemy gets closer (vulnerable).

Everlux: horn, fringed wings, antenna, short legs, long bodies. Write records of their lives, weave silk for their lairs, for hammocks and other crafts, display their creations in communal areas, have dyes and trinkets for decoration. Avoid combat (vulnerable) but when forced use magic just like imperials and pearlcatchers do.

They're a light breed. They have the same horn/antler decoration as the other 2, have the same whiskers/antenna, have the same values of life records and crafts, have similar wings as imperials, even the tactics are similar (avoid combat but use magic if have to, imperials force enemies to the ground and everlux into silk traps). There's no feature of them that's immediately 'can't reconcile with them being light', they're more buggy like lightweaver where the other 2 breeds aren't.

I do notice how it kinda progresses from lightweaver (gigantic but really skinny) imperials (huge and muscley but still skinny) pearlcatchers (smaller size and rounder, there's a bit of fat on their rump and belly in comparison) to everlux (tiny and fat). edit to add: lightweaver has kinda butterfly markings on her wings, and the everlux are caterpillars so it fits like that too

I wonder if the anglerfish are edible and how easy it is to work with their bones

imagine if the hearthians had done whaling but with the anglerfish. Use the bones for new spaceships (it's less flammable than wood)

just attach a little noisemaker to something that can kill the anglerfish and throw it at them, then tie it to one or two ships and drag it back to timber hearth to be taken apart.

imagine if dark bramble had a quantum shard

and now I wonder what giants deep used to be like

the islands don't look like any other rock in the system. Did there used to be more, maybe even a solid surface, but they got flung out into space and didn't come back down? When did the electric field around the core appear? How long did it take for the pole cyclone to become stable? How long has the current been around? With how much ice is missing from dark bramble, giants deep probably used to have a lower water level and it rose from the melting dark bramble ice.

and also ash twin before the project. They had to relocate the underground cacti, so ash twin also had cave systems? Did it have a dried out lake like ember twin? The ash twin natural rock is so pretty....

Hell yes

You've probably seen polls about "Would you sing for X minutes / in front of X many people / etc. for $" before. Well. Here's another one!

If you sing a song in front of 50,000 people, you get a million dollars... but this time, you don't get to pick the song.

Spin this wheel of song options, and that's what you have to sing in front of a stadium full of people. You will have 30 minutes to prepare.
