So Malta and Reyn named their son Ephron, after her grandfather. Which is great and all but that means that Althea and Brashens boy isn’t named after her beloved father/his mentor who gave him a second chance to reach his potential after he was disowned and that feels like a huge missed opportunity?

Shout out to Darius for coming up with the cutest nicknames yet saying them in a mean way. He really said Songbird (threatening) and Little Prince (derogatory)

and the wood by gentle sea

we count the coming of the tide

Woke up today to some wild jjk leaks and it turns out Gege is hitting that Hamlet type beat with some uncle-nephew drama with Sukuna and Yuuji? Like what?

By the gods Kenjaku really be messing with that family tree. And this still doesn't explain why Itadori Wasuke looks so much like Sukuna? Like with Jin and Yuuji it makes sense now...but what about grandpadori? Something must've been up with that family even before the Kenjaku and his shenanigans.

It truly is our Jujutsu Kaisen! Amen.

ROBIN HOBB’S REALM OF THE ELDERLINGS >> The Southern Sagas

She Who Remembers opened wide her gills once more. She tasted a mystery in the waves. She had restored the two-legs to his ship, but the ship both frightened and attracted her. The silvery grey hull of the vessel flavored the water ahead of her. She followed it, drinking in the elusive tang of memories.

Jiang Cheng antis after the burning of Lotus Pier: hmm, well if MY parents and community were brutally slaughtered in front of me and I was traumatically thrust into a position of leadership of a devastated clan at like, 17, I would handle it super well?? and I definitely wouldn’t lash out at anyone (briefly) because I was angry and grieving, cause I’m not fucking abusive?? like sorry but some of us are built different 💅

just asking, what if an iterator possibly gets too hot or cold? What happens if they can’t get to safer temps with out outside forces? What if they can’t get to safer temps at all?

Do you mean superstructures or puppet-bound iterators? I'm sure superstructures have a lot of failsafes to deal with temperature fluctuations, mostly via processing water intake. They're living saunas! They probably have an incredible resistance to both hot and cold, as evidence shows.

I'll talk about puppets here, but if you meant superstructures, well... a lot of what I'll say here could apply to superstructures too.

(For puppet-bound iterators, I am referring to my AU CDSS)

For heat: Puppet-bound iterators, like their former superstructure bodies, run hot and need to stay hydrated. They rely on liquid coolant that runs throughout their bodies. Ruptures in the coolant system are one of their many common problems, but with medical aid, they're not too serious. Many cases are self-healing, or the rupture will seal itself off and reroute around the blockage - like with collateral circulation. Leaks into essential systems are more of a concern than the actual loss of coolant. As long as they stay cool and drink water while waiting to get fixed, they tend to be fine.

If they are stuck in a hot region and can't escape, they'll suffer from dehydration, heat stroke, fried components, damage to organic tissue, seizures... pretty much what you'd expect. As a superstructure, Moon probably suffered from all this leading up to her collapse.

For cold: They're fairly resistant for a few reasons. One is the antifreeze in coolant. Another is the heat that they naturally produce. I'm thinking they have silicone-based skin, which is very cold resistant. They have hemocyanin, which tends to function better in extreme cold than hemoglobin. (Hemocyanin can also work at hotter temperatures. I have like a whole essay about this that I still intend to post lol.) However, the puppets have been modified to have more flexible and sensitive skin - dexterity in exchange for some durability. They're more susceptible to the perception of cold than they would be if they were a still a superstructure. Many of them also dislike snowscapes on principle, because they've been freezing their decaying metal butts off for centuries by the time CDSS happens.

Iterators in both forms are very moist, so if it's cold past their limits, their mechanical components will freeze. And like with hypothermia in fully organic beings, prolonged time in extreme cold will lead to tissue death and organ failure. Superstructures with fractured exteriors (direct exposure of internal parts to the cold air) are especially susceptible to this.

Misc theory about superstructures: Moon's superstructure was able to stay intact into Saint's era because she collapsed straight down into the water, preserving most of her shape. The canyon water could have provided the pressure and circulation she needed in the absence of gravity cores, as well as protection against land pests and insulation against the cold. Remnant slag could have her generate excess heat as well, which would keep the water surrounding her unfrozen. In a way, dying like that could have helped her live longer?!

Thanks for the question anon, this was very fun :P

imagine that the white british puritanist that possessed you has you entombed in the corpse of god and left to rot and your way of coping is to whistle your ex's leitmotif

Poor Alise is so oblivious to homosexuality as a concept that she finds Sedrics locket, with a portrait of Hest and a lock of his hair, engraved with the word always, and is like “I wonder if that represents Sedrics promise to always ensure I remain under Hests control? Or if it was supposed to be for me?”

MULTIFANDOM POST!?!! 😮 (the bubbles are stylistic Ik it’s 0G stfu :(

(⚠️ rivulet campaign and endgame outerwilds spoilers ahead)

ok but outer wilds and rain world are actually kind of similar. Like I was thinking abt it and honestly navigating through the rot and other garbage w the rarefaction cell is A LOT like navigating through the anglers in dark bramble with the warp core. Got me thinking so I drew this :3 I don’t often outerwilds post soo here you go! ^^ (good game to play it)

[albino-wildebeest]

Been playing outer wilds with headphones on today (which I don't normally do) and the noises your ship makes when your just sitting quietly really remind me of the iterator noises in rain world.

"We should talk some time," he said quietly. "I suspect we have far more in common than you know. Perhaps we should trust each other."

He knows.

i just thought of the wildest crossover imaginable,,,
