Started watching Pluribus tonight and it’s super good, crazy cool concept, but I am ENRAGED that these dumb ass scientists decided to REPLICATE AN RNA SEQUENCE FROM SPACE THAT THEY SUSPECT IS A VIRUS. That is so unbelievably stupid.

There is a saint of time, Clepsydra, and her Hagi are responsible for time keeping and making the various calendars (some cultures measure the years differently than others). The average person measures time in the day by watching the sun, a rudimentary time piece, or marked candles.
#SFFChat Q3: How is time kept or measured in your world? If time is the same way as for us, how does magic or technology influence it?

#SFFChat
Oh, I guess this is something I haven’t actually thought about that much. I tend to just vibe it out I think, based on what the characters were doing previously and what makes the mists sense with the timeline.
#SFFChat Q2: When you write, do you tend to have a clear picture of the time of day for particularly intense scenes?

#SFFChat
(Totally didn’t get distracted and miss the last few questions)

Val’hoon has three moons. They all have different phases, but once a year for three days their phases sync up in an event called The Convergence of the Sisters. During this time, magic is particularly potent.
#SFFChat Q1: What unique features of day, night, or time exist in your world? OR, how do people in your world think about these concepts (maybe they're sacred, etc)?
November 13, 2025 at 11:56 PM
Hello hello #SFFChat! I’m Lilly, writer of fantasy, neuterer of canines, and taker of naps.

My favorite time of day is mid afternoon when the sun shines through the window just right to make the perfect cozy conditions for a nap.
#SFFChat Intro: Introduce yourself and share your favourite time of day (night, day, evening, morning--lunch!). Be as general or specific as you like. (:

Had to share a photo from the neuter surgery because my scrub cap is too fun not to share and I’m just really proud that I did it. (It’s only labeled graphic because there’s a little bit of bloody gauze in the pic)
November 11, 2025 at 10:42 PM
Update: I DID IT!! I had a massive German shepherd neuter but he was a very good boy and the surgery went off without a hitch. (And I’m quite proud with how my incision closure looks)
I'm preparing for my very first (and hopefully last because I'm a pathology gremlin through and through) surgery on a live patient tomorrow 😬 Quaking in my boots a bit but trying to go in feeling confident.

Aloïs strongly follows the code of the Knights of the Edelweiss. I’d say she’s traditionally morally good. She works for the people, keeps them safe, and upholds the Knight’s code. Part of the Knight’s code is to give mercy to those that ask for it, and Aloïs is of the mindset that this extends 1/2
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?
November 11, 2025 at 3:51 PM
False Knight: Aloïs cherishes her father’s sword and the shield with her new crest.
SoBB: Líadan is gifted a dress that used to belong to her grandmother which she loves. Vasil loves the practice of potion making. Minno loves truth. Aila loves a mirror with motifs of beautiful women around the frame
Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Is there something your character (main or otherwise) deeply loves that isn't a person, animal, or other creature? A food, an object, a concept? 🤔

I dunno if folks in general are still snailposting, but looks like I am! 😂

When I sat down to draw yesterday, my head was full of snails, so here's an outlandishly colorful one. Hope it brightens your day!

For the first time this semester I managed to only miss 1 question on an exam and let me tell you, there simply is no better high than walking out of an exam with 96% when you thought you were barely going to pass

When not on quests, Aloïs trains every day. It’s a combination of general strength and endurance training, practicing honing her draconic-blood magic, and practicing various weapon and fighting styles
Does your character work out? Why or why not?

I had the pleasure of reading The Drowned Heir for SFINCS and it’s seriously such a good novella. I loved the concept and the worldbuilding in it.
It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and we do take a little time for reading ourselves, too.

Today, we have a review of The Drowned Heir, by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, which is also a contender in the SFINCS novella competition.
