Today on stream I fight with bright pink 3D box models while listening to my tonally incoherent middle school music playlist. www.twitch.tv/jayrockin5858

Finally caught up on crossposting these, aiieeeee. The "tertiary" here mostly refers to the recombinations of 3 different digit states to reach 8, as the combinations are ordered in a way that feels mechanically intuitive to an avian and not by typical base-overflow rules.

The square cube law is not in the reader's favor here, sadly. Mars has a huge battle mech scene. They can get away with heavier bot designs at 0.38 g, and have thousands of kilometers of uninhabited desert on which to stage battles far away from structures that could get obliterated by shrapnel.

Man-made horrors beyond comprehension, and an extremely deep lore callback. Readers of this comic often ask the characters about their favorite animals, likely because they are Creature Enthusiasts, but Idrisah is the only one of the main cast who is a fellow Creature Enthusiast.

Tod uses this story to scare the internal mechanics team interns into traveling in pairs and logging where they're planning to go in the plant at the beginning of the work day.

One straightforward answer and one much more complicated one.

This isn't the primary reason Gillie wanted Talita to sign for her, but it wasn't helping.

Yum, raw hairy skin covered in blood!

The tail on the speech bubble there looks (to an avian) a bit like a lip corner. Or, if the whole thing is interpreted as a super cartoony earless head, the tail is a neck.

The "meatballs" menu symbol in web design also looks like eyes to avians. Ohwitiil probably thinks it means "look inside"...

Dr. Henriques is used to centaur patients who may not be fluent in English or Shess, may or may not understand what a vaccine is, may or may not be used to injections, and may or may not be cooperative. Caring for Talita is EXTREMELY easy in comparison, even if she's a bit of a whiner.

Sensitive hearing can be quite a curse at times.

By "40s" Talita is referring to the 2240s. I refuse to do biochemical worldbuilding for RttS, but generally speaking, the sophonts all use water as a solution in which to dissolve sugar and oxygen for performing cellular respiration. Everything else is ehhhhhh (hand wiggle).

Idrisah's religious attitude is a bit eccentric. Her extended family is a mix of secular and orthodox. She's a woman in conflict between her desire for the stability and connection of tradition; and her magnetic draw towards the strange, challenging, and subversive.

At least she wasn't trying to dye her tail brown.
October 22, 2025 at 2:05 AM
Talita is pretty resistant to the idea of going to the homeplanet or seeking out centaurs to talk to, and at this point it's partly motivated by spite. Is that attitude beneficial? Ehhhh......
October 22, 2025 at 2:02 AM
Cheevwut thinks humans are cool the same way humans think bears and sharks are cool. We are a big, physically intimidating animal. This kind of attitude can contribute to prejudicial fear of humans among avians, though.

I don't normally answer AMA questions addressed to "everyone" or about extremely broad topics, because these are supposed to be lower effort than book pages. Unfortunately this one nerdbaited me because I like color science and wanted to nail down the visual ranges of the aliens.

AI hobbies and downtime. Sorry to the people asking Bip questions that they are extremely bitchy...

I gotta catch back up with these ahhhh. Here's questions for Clayton, the only character more evasive than Bip.
