I reviewed some of my answers based on feedback. Apparently there are some areas where I'm inconsistent, and the rain one where I originally picked "I have no word for this" because I don't name the phenomenon, but if pressed, I'd call it a sunshower. Makes the result more starkly anti-south.
Similar to the previous map, but now tips California into the lead, increases warmth across the north Midwest and in new England. The dark blue streak across the south is more emphasized as the dialect I avoid.

When you grow up in the south, but your carpetbagger parents taught you that a southern accent makes you sound ignorant, so you develop a complex about it and train your own accent assembled from media, I guess. mydialect.us/quiz-standar...

While DETERMINATION measures the effort to reach their objectives in years, BRAVERY doesn't concern itself with things such as measuring in the first place.
Bravery takes the first step towards its objective and figures it out from there. Determination figures out its objective in detail, then takes the first step towards it.

Really, these games could not have more different vibes from each other.
Infection's Gravity: a scene depicting the love interest Val standing in a butterfly garden. The art is rendered in muted colors, with lush detailing in a realistic style. Val, with a flirty expression, says "Hard for me to have eyes for the wildlife with you around, of course."Pill in the Pudding: showing the two kidnappers Cass and Clare, rendered as highly stylized and colorful cartoons in a pixel art style. Cass, rolling up her sleeve threateningly, says "Cool. If you try to escape I'll slit your throat and post a selfie with your corpse. Got it?"

Here is what I have: the thread in which you disavowed defending Jemma and a screenshot you once shared of the accusations in DMs. I recall no specifics given. Just vague assertions that she "groomed" someone and that she's a danger. She was mass harassed based on secret evidence until she deleted.
Twitter thread from TransSalamander on Aug 25, 2020

A couple months ago I had a big thread defending a former friend (@/Riotgrrrljemma). Since then I've been made aware of additional information that made me realize I made the wrong call defending her.

I'm sorry.

I've been asked by the people she hurt not to dig this back up. They want to move on, and I want to respect that.

But I also felt it was important to make a public statement about this. I betrayed the trust of some friends and I want them to know that I'm sorry.

If it's alright with everyone, I'd like to not talk about this too much more, which is why I've turned off replies. It really hurts to have been betrayed by a friend like this.

Please don't DM me for more details. It's done and over. I fucked up and I'm sorry.The remainder of the thread:

(One of the people Jemma hurt asked that I delete the thread defending Jemma. I never know whether it's better to delete stuff like that and risk making it look like I'm hiding something or keep it up and continue to hurt people by it. So I had someone else make that call)

I'd like to show this thread to the mutuals who blocked me over this, but I'm not about to share their names or anything. If you ever happen to see people saying I took Jemma's side, I'd appreciate directing them here.

I'm not owed forgiveness. I'd just like them to know.Screenshot of DMs.

Anonymous other party: I would probably keep details to a minimum. Express that there was a lot of deception and grooming, but mayb leave it at that. She can't be trusted.

Kathryn: Would you be okay with me just sharing what you said? Like, copy paste? Just to make sure I'm doing right by all this. I can mention you're close to one of the victims. Again, privately. Only to friends who DM and ask.

Anonymous: You can mention I was close to both Jemma and the victim and was lied to by Jemma about the direct relationship and actions that were made clear by the victims for what they were. Screenshot of it makes it easier.

Amazing parting shot when someone is not sure they quite got *all* the squares on the white fragility bingo card before blocking me. Truly an all-time response to someone explaining that intentions don't matter, the effects you have on others do.
A reply from "Blackjack Gabbiani" 

Intentions are everything. And now it's suddenly RACIST to say that a statement that applies to everybody applies to everybody? That's the OPPOSITE of racist oh my god.

You have no intention of trying to teach. You just want to whine.

Well, it started like this, and continued to go downhill as I refused to use her preferred language and she refused to engage with anything except the most superficial characteristics of my phrasing, lashing out incoherently. You're better off not seeing this garbage.
My post: Because misandry is not a society-wide axis of oppression, "transmisandry" doesn't quite mean the same sort of thing. It doesn't mean trans men don't have distinct challenges, it's just not an equivalent framework for analysis. This gets flattened into "transmisandry doesn't exist" by some folks.

Valerie, some rando: that's because it doesn't

A month later, Valerie again: Someone hit like on this a month later, and the person writing the reply ignored me (expected, misandry-truthers hate reality), I had to figure out what the context was 

Just a trans man who desperately wants to call trans women, men lol

Anyway, misandry isn't real, fuckers

This game is amazing. Also, by the way, if I lose to myself, there's a wonderfully fucked up bad end scene. If only I could reciprocate when I win!
The protagonist stands in front of the bleeding corpse of herself. Sluph, the goat-like demon party member, asks "Uhhh, you okay? You look kinda shaken, Red"

The possible responses are:
I just killed myself (shaken)
I just killed myself (accepting)
I just killed myself (aroused)

Also also... there are *extended* bad-end sequences that hit me very hard in my weak points. Like when you lose the fight to a hot spider and she lays her eggs in you...
A monstrous spider descends from the ceiling. Of note, unlike most "sexy spider" women in games, this one has a fully monstrous bug face. She addresses the protagonist, saying:

How cute. It means it will be incorporated into our family.You couldn't see it in the dark. Her mouth is separated into several chelicerae that move and contort to lisp out a semblance of words. Sticky blue ichor hangs from each joint as she articulates to you with a hiss.

Also the writing and art are fun as hell. The imps are freaks.
A curvaceous red imp propositions the protagonist:
I want some blood. Tasty girl blood! Give me just a taste of that flesh of yours, and I'll do whatever you want.
(-200 HP, +Bleeding)The imp says, "C'mere, cutie! I'm gonna milk ya! Fwehe!"The imp says, "Mmm.. That was tasty! I can't believe you just let me do that. You don't even know my name! Thanks, slut!"

Not to belabor the point excessively, but the following post got reblogged onto my dash today, and it's a clear-cut example of how some of these posters hop onto any transfem positivity post to claim it's "transandrophobic" simply by being about transfems. Things are bad on Tumblr.
Tumblr post by transandrophobiaexpose which itself screenshots a reply thread between trans women to label it an "example of Tumblr's transandrophobia" with the commentary "Apparently no one gives a shit about transmascs even though they're one of the most vulnerable populations on earth." The screenshotted thread reads:

missestrogen: As white girls, you need to make friends with more Black girls, okay? Promise you will. All the things you struggle with, loneliness, abandonment, are going to be even more true for her. So try to make friends with that Black tgirl. And be respectful. You have to be there for her.

storyweavingspider replies: Fun fact: 20% of nonblack people with more than three friends don't have any Black friends.

The caress of a soft hiss coaxes me from torpor with gentle insistence. It is, at first, the universe of my awareness. Yet not for long. New sensations creep in. An aching, bone-deep chill permeates my body. Sounds, initially indistinct, slowly resolve into voices, though I cannot see their source.

I have committed an act of fanfiction. Please forgive me. For whatever it's worth, this story demands no particular knowledge of the source material beyond the basic premise: In 1862, London was magically transported into a giant, unusually haunted cave.

This is, otherwise, your standard arachnixe fare. A shitty lesbian with selfcestuous inclinations goes through the identity wiggler, and also there are spiders.

Once we were whole. Complete. In perfect union. Then came the “infection.” A severance of the infected. The creation of we-who-were-not-us.

Before we touched him, we did not understand that humans might have certain irregularities of the mind—uncontrolled, obsessive patterns that could not be devoured without altering ourselves in unforeseen ways. We learned from terrible experience. How we raged as our aggregate arachnid mind was peeled, restructured, driven to the ragged edge of destruction!

To save ourselves from its spread, we severed and exiled us.

Sleep’s departure rakes its claws across my mind, drawing forth a groan of dismay and dumping me, disoriented, into another rough morning. Of course, with curtains drawn, it’s easy enough to ignore the sun’s opinion of what time of day it might actually be—the two of us haven’t been on speaking terms since I got sick.

I sit up, scrubbing at my face with hands still heavy with sleep. But something about it feels off. Wrong. Fingers trace unfamiliar lumps and angles, run through hair just a little too wavy to be right. A groan of complaint escapes me. With joints popping, I heave myself upright.

First the nightstand: ring and amulet atop it, staff leaning against. It would be foolish to leave behind my armaments, even on a trip across a hallway to the bathroom.The door creaks open with a sound like a sharp-toothed smile, expressing amusement at some joke I’m not supposed to be privy to. Still, I’m not so blind as my enemies would have me believe, and I don’t need to read the omens splattered in water stains around the sink to feel that something nasty is coming. Someone’s attention pours through the window’s unblinking stare, but I brandish the ring on my hand to ward it away so I may inspect myself in the mirror.

Whoever that is across the glass—staring at me with haggard face, eyes blinking and bleary—is a complete stranger to me, recognizable only by the presence of my amulet dangling below the neck. With a sigh, I mentally lower my expectations for the day down a notch.

Increasing your kataleptic toxicology will increase the amount of research you get from this card.An option one may select for the preceding card. It reads: Dose yourself. Some things can't be learned from a test tube. This will generate research and give you wounds.Another option one may choose. It reads: Understand the toxins swimming in your veins.

Huge thanks to @raccuun.bsky.social for making my favorite pairing from Hades 2 come to life. Eris is doing a great job finally breaking down Melinoë's resistance!
Eris and Melinoë are naked in the hot springs. Eris leans forward, grinning as she wraps her arms around Melinoë from behind, one hand between Mel's legs while the other hand grabs her just under the chin, turning Mel to face her. Their lips are inches apart. Melinoë grabs for the hand at her neck, but her grip is loose and uncommitted to the effort. There's uncertainty in Melinoë's expression, but she doesn't look like she's resisting.

Finding myself thinking about the Moon Stair again. It's my favorite region in Caves of Qud, and up there among my favorite video game zones of all time. The clash of hex-shaped structures drawn across the game's Cartesian grid is such an inspired way to evoke "alien geometry!"
Hexagonally aligned, magenta-tinted walls box the player into tunnels predominantly angled 120° from each other. A more typical Qud structure, with walls forming 90° angles, sits right in the middle, looking out of place.

You dress for the occasion in scarlet and gold. You present the lady with a deep red rose so perfect that it glows even in the red light of the Embassy ballroom. Do not even think about what it cost. It has the desired effect. The Deviless is charmed, and dances only with you. She guides you to the least dangerous parts of the dancefloor. Later in the evening, when the room has grown insufferably hot, she leads you by the hand to a cool, quiet garden, lit by cages of luminescent beetles and dancing fireflies. You dance again, alone, her head resting on your shoulder. Days later, you find her earrings in your pocket. They are still warm.

Sure, you can simply poison those who set themselves against you, but isn't it better to turn them into tools?
Screenshot of a Tumblr tag-response:

as someone knight coded feel like it'd be my job to stop you
if don't stop you that means the princess is puppeteering my corpse or I'm also in on it
my only loyalty is to the princess My response:

Such loyalty to your princess is a commendable virtue! I think you'll find that we're both very much on the same side here. We both want to see her happy, do we not?

In fact, the princess has put her royal seal on an agreement to form a... unique order of knights answering only to me. Now, I know what you're thinking, an order of knights answering only to me, and not the king? That must sound awfully concerning, but you must understand that the princess and I have reason to believe the king does not have her best interests at heart.

Yes, we both fear that the king is far too preoccupied with his own legacy, that he would sell his own daughter into a loveless marriage to secure an alliance that benefits only himself.

But you do not trust my loyalty to Her Highness, I understand. That's why I would like to offer you a position as head of this new order of knights. In fact, right now you are perhaps the only knight can really trust to serve the princess above all else, even her father. Do you see? If you do not take this position, well, someone else might, and I fear they would not be so devoted to her. With you at the head, however, I am quite sure her safety will be guaranteed. What do you say?

Remembering I wrote a microfic based on this premise a few years ago... It'd be fun to revisit the idea in a longer form.
With a kiss I break the skin, and my tongue comes alive with the distinctly metallic taste of blood. The electric sensation of life itself dances in my mouth, carried by the flow. She whines and flinches, but my grip holds her firmly in place.

After a moment, she relaxes into my embrace, her arms wrapped sweetly around me for support while I sip from her body—slowly, savoring it, the gradual sensation of heat building in my mouth—until I am sated. I break the kiss, exhaling to cool my tongue from the lingering burn.

“Done already, my love?” The succubus in my arms teases. “Blood too spicy for you today?

“Never. It’s perfection as always,” I respond, sealing what remains of my bite on her neck with a gentle lick.

“My turn to feed then,” she says, her hand sliding up my dress.

I am simply the best there is at the evil royal advisor game.
Reply from user baggebythesea:

Obviously some of the princesses have to step up and become sinister royal advisors themselves.

Perks
* You will hold the real political power of the kingdom
* Abuse "the power of friendship" speeches for all they are worth
* You get to be goth

Cons
* Have to stand one step behind the throne at any and all official function and never, ever gets a chair of your own
* Thrown into the dungeon once the princess sees through your evil schemes.
* No one gives the sinister royal advisor any little treats :-(Reply from me:

Alright, it's time to let some of you newbie schemers in on some advanced late-game strategies to help you mitigate these concerns.

Starting with the bottom up: yes, it's true that nobody is likely to give you treats. As a ruthless whisperer of poisoned words, you'll almost certainly come across as greasy and off-putting to the nobility. However, your strength must be in cultivating a good rapport with the princess you advise. Give your princess treats. Whatever she likes, use your connections to obtain them, and keep her happy with little treats. ls she having a tough day of people making demands? Give her a treat. Did she listen to your advice? Treat. Does the king scold her about pining over some lady knight? Another treat (and also use this moment to drive a wedge between father and daughter). Soon your princess will be eating out of your hand, and she won't even mind if you skim some of the treats for yourself. Remember: you're playing the long game.Reply from me (continued):

Now, if you've been doing this correctly, she has no reason to throw you into the dungeon. If her friends come to her worried that you're a bad influence on her, well, who's she going to believe? The one who gives her everything she wants and affirms all her most petty desires, or the people who want her to sacrifice her needs for the sake of the kingdom? Oh, they sound just like her awful father, don't they?

Now, yes, your position as advisor will have you standing at her side for many long hours. Develop a good relationship with a local cobbler who can hook you up with well-fitting, comfortable footwear. But here's the thing, once you've helped arrange the assassination of the king for her and covered up her many dalliances with some knight or maid or another, you'll have grown so close that you may even find yourself lounging on the arm of her throne, stroking her head with approval as she orders the executions of your shared enemies.

Now I know the first few years are difficult, but with cunning and patience, all your hard work can pay off. Good luck, everyone.

The Onesha returns with her very clinical account of her experiences with a friendly succubus.
An Investigation Into Demonic Eusociality, Part 2

February 23, 2025

content tags: demons, witches, wizards, sex, science, dubcon, insectoid, slimes, piss

Truly, I have learned more from my first few days living within Ektinnair’s hive than is contained in all the combined lore of every wizard demonologist who ever presumed to write on the topic.

Already I have come to a much more intimate understanding of why they always warned so strenuously against making any deal with a succubus that comes at a risk of abduction to the abyssal demesnes. However, where they quail in cowardice, I prevail because I am the Onesha, and I am better than any wizard.

You, dear reader, should take heed of such warnings, unless you—like me—happen to be possessed of especial wiles, rare constitution, and none of a wizard’s squeamishness over acts of flesh. This is the gift I offer to you: detailed and accurate knowledge of demon society that you need not earn for yourself; all you require is the courage to read on without recoiling from raw, unvarnished reality.

Vizierposting on Tumblr today, in response to all the Princessposting over there.
Tumblr post from me: I can't help but notice the increasing population of princesses on this site, leaving one extremely important ecological niche underfilled: the sinister royal advisor. The time of the treacherous vizier is nigh.

Now some people might try to tell you that a princess shouldn't take advice from someone with "treacherous" right there in their job title, but you mustn't listen to the bleating of sheep, Your Highness. The fools are just jealous that I've chosen the best and most special princess of all to serve. They're envious of your beauty and your wisdom and the loyalty you command from even someone like me, and they wish only to tear you downReply from user "bimbo-apocalypse":

You make such a compelling case with your constant flattery and defensiveness.

Me: If I am to serve the very best princess of all, it is only right that I heap upon her the endless praise she has rightfully earned, and the princess who trusts me to handle pesky political matters that are beneath her station is possessed of exemplary wisdom indeed. Reply from user "amiserablepileofwords:"

Aw, come on, people, we've talked about this! The first rule of your inevitable treachery is you don't talk about your inevitable treachery... except when you think you're alone in the room, "unaware" some dastardly do-gooder is conveniently close enough to "accidentally" overhear you and force your hand into accelerating your timetable 

Me: See, this is the kind of low-grade sinister advisor my princess would do well to avoid. Sloppy plotting and with schemes to rule the land themselves, oh! It would be disastrous to throw your crown in with this lot. Not like me, Your Highness. I have no such ambitions, I can assure you. I much prefer to slink back here, in the shadow of the throne, making space for you to receive all the attention and adoration that is your due. Reply from "lunaticli8rarian:"

is the role still filled if the sinister royal advisor is actually trying to 8e helpful, or do they still need sinister intentions? is something lost when they do not su8tly try to plot your downfall for their own 8enefit? asking to know if i need a second advisor.

Me: Hey, there are lots of kinds of sinister advisor out there! Sure, some of them are trying to plot your downfall, but others are perfectly content to be the power behind the throne, or maybe just want an opportunity to take sexual advantage of their position of proximity to you. It's important to shop around and find the sinister advisor that meets your specific needs.

Weird question, perhaps, but does anyone know an artist I might commission who'd be good at producing a scientific diagram of a demon dick in this particular vintage style?

This is a story of someone who summoned a succubus and got in over her head. She is extremely full of herself. Are you ready for the most obnoxiously unsexy description of raunchy demonic lust? I suspect not, but this is how I've chosen to start it.
You may call me the Onesha, for I have
plunged into abyssal depths where no other
has dared to tread. If you are reading this,
then you are in possession of the only true
and authoritative account of demonic so-
ciety written from first-hand experience. If
you have previously relied on the specula-
tive extrapolations (though half-truths and
mostly-falsehoods would perhaps be more
apt descriptors) of the likes of Jeanne d’É-
toile, Odo Helminnar, Earth Cannot Confine
Whomever Beseeches In Earnest, Beldwin
Mononym, or any number of even less reli-
able wizards—well, you may now feel free to
toss their meager scribblings in the pyre. This
work supersedes all others. You’re welcome.

The question of “where to start” in
such a composition is possibly the third
most difficult to answer. How might the
foremost alchemist of our time begin to
teach the principles of creating Argentum
Fulminans to a child who has not grown past...

The Sister-in-Law You know the thing where your sister is the Chosen One, has a Sacred Destiny and all that crap, runs off to slay Evil, and the next time you see her she hardly bothers to catch you up, just goes "hey, I'm marrying this suspiciously sinister girl, btw." We've all been there, right?
The Sister-in-Law - February 13, 2025
content tags: witches, gods, romance, mind control, chosen ones

As soon as I heard them coming, I put a kettle on the fire. The crows always let me know when I have visitors, and now they call out to announce I must entertain houseguests again. Three short caws in rapid succession, followed by a longer fourth—two people, then. No time to dawdle, but enough time to avoid haste, I clear the table of clutter, sorting my work into nearby shelves, closing my book and setting it aside for later, and… oh no, my half-finished spinning still rests on the seat of a chair. I huff in annoyance at my own laziness, sweeping an arm to slide spindle and forgotten tangle into a basket, discreetly shoving the whole mess by foot into the far corner of my cottage.

Three dainty raps at the door inform me that my window to tidy is at its end. Good enough, good enough. The table is clear, and fully three chairs are usable.

“Come on in then,” I call toward the door. “Don’t be afraid; come in!”With a nasty squeal of hinges that really must be oiled again—maybe I’ll remember to take care of that after these two leave—the door opens just enough to catch a glimpse of my little sister’s face.

“Marina? God’s rotten t—” I bite my tongue. Shouldn’t swear in front of her, of all people. “Is something wrong? You’re not supposed to— I mean, isn’t there supposed to be—?”

Before I can choke out a coherent question, the door finishes its arc, showing me a face I’ve never seen before. Long, dark hair falls straight down, framing a head of delicate, almost elfin beauty. The smile gracing the stranger’s bloodless lips does not touch eyes of pitch that smolder like an inferno barely kept in check by will alone. Atop her head rests a carmine crown forged of no metal known to mortal smith.

Yes, my sister’s companion looks human enough, but it would take a fool not to see that this woman is not what she appears to be. I also cannot help but mark the conspicuous absence of those original companions with whom she left this place.

Whoa, hey, I wrote something involving mech pilots. Well, one mech pilot, at least. She's getting a new handler, whether she's ready for it or not. Here's the beginning!
The Forest's Covenant. Content tags: witches, mechs, becoming.

The Old Forest is never silent. Life is noisy, regardless of whether one has the ears to hear it. The ebb and flow of animal calls form a murmuration that, at intervals, yields the stage to the quiet susurration of leaves catching the wind. Even lower, beneath the notice of all but the most careful listeners, the trees creak and rumble with their own song.

Nevertheless, when a distant thunderclap breaks the forest’s natural rhythm, the moment afterward holds its breath in anticipation of rain that will not arrive.Another peal, now closer, makes a liar of the clear sky above. The two beget children—a violent crackle, a hiss as from some titanic serpent, a series of still-louder booms in rapid succession—and in their wake, the most energetic of the forest’s noisemakers find it prudent to relocate themselves.

With the roar of a terrifying predator losing its fight for survival, something unknown and unimaginable slices a fiery wound through the canopy of trees, crashing heavy and lifeless from the heavens to carve its grave as a scar in the earth. The titan’s blood pools underneath it, soaking the forest floor with poisonous alchemy that transforms once rich soil into lifeless dirt that will never again sustain life. Its presence here is wrong, unwanted, an unforgivable intrusion.

Well, I came out of that Tomb of the Eaters place refreshed and ready to go and then immediately got lost and stumbled perpendicular to spacetime into another dimension where I met this Chaos Clam. Wait *this guy* is the reason pi is Like That???
Olam.

Bump, scars, and ridges crisscross the monstrous waveform shell from where the boundaries of dimensions ground against the interstitial space. A soft organ-thing lies inside, lit by the glimmers of Old Light flashing off the all-color nacre. Grooves across the shell mantle billow with the dust of ontoxanthellae, cross-dimensional symbiotes. Arrayed aside them are articles of other places, a pan-dimensional inventory stocked by an entropic broker.

Base demeanor: docile

Loved by highly entropic beings and mollusks.

Disliked by the Naphtaali tribe for swapping how farms and devils are perceived.

Disliked by the villagers of Upad for destroying the honorable numbers.

Hated by equines for inventing the irrational numbers.

Finally caught up with where the story ended back when I first played years ago, and I get to see what the Tomb of the Eaters is all about, and... oh god oh fuck everything is terrible here the bugs steal my shit and then I get smashed and burned and teleported to random locations against my will a
My character, injured, next to a huge pile of bloody bones and ashes from a recent battle. Empty shafts pit the floor, inviting missteps that will send me falling down an unknown, possibly deadly distance. The path forward takes one on a conveyer belt ride that fades into unseen darkness here.

A message on screen reads "The Bell of Rest tolls! The dead will be recalled in 260 rounds."

the Ruin of House Isner

The craftsmanship of this pistol worked in brass and chrome is breathtaking:

grips of kingswood call the palm to an airless wrap, the hammer is contoured to the thumb by the microinch, and the sight draws the eye down the barrel like the slipping of silk. It's engraved all around with withered ivy, and the muzzle is kissed in blood.

Weapon Class: Pistol

Accuracy: Medium

+1 Ego

Critical hits scored with this weapon get an extra +4 bonus to penetration rolls.

Did a double-take at the name of this book. At first, it was just "haha, such a long title it stretches the window out," and then I noticed there's a whole clue about the location of a legendary weapon right there.

Hm. This book... something about the author's name sounds familiar...
In Maqqom Yd, page 1 of 5

Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from the travel diary of Kaylenn Sand-Shell, who generously donated her leather-bound volumes to the Monastery of the Illustrious Heart of Chrome. May they remain forever preserved.

To the aspiring Wanderer and votary of Carthax the Athlete, few vistas rouse the imagination like the coral spans and spongey buttresses of the Palladium Reef. I state here what's known as fact: that the great crumbling edifice is moated by Lake Hinnom and her algae blooms, that the east-prattling soup-brooks of the Rainbow Wood spill out from under their canopy of spores and onto the webbed feet of the white esh, and that from the north, too, mangroves line the shore and pierce their roots through the stubborn ground to drink the algal liquer.

Of course, the dangers of the Reef are plenty, and would overwhelm most wayfarers no matter how cleanly they've mastered the compass. And so, even while visions of colored polyps burned bright in my mind, for years I had to content myself to the study of its atlases and the patchwork of letters knitted from its strange history. Being a scholar, as well as a hunter, I knew this to be its own kind of journey.

Yeah, I think I speak for all Qud players who've progressed through Golgotha when I say we all know what that's like.

Ezra, the town at the foot of the Spindle, is wholly new since I last played. Look at this character! Such a cool sprite. I'm continually in awe of how much interesting design this game fits into such few pixels with such few colors.
Dialogue with Yla Haj. She says:

"Tinker-nuns. The world sees fit to call us that, my sisters and me.

"Do you know the story told of Rebekah the Exile? She was a teacher to Resheph, but he excommunicated her from the sultanate and banished her from the realm.

"To know her, I've chosen a life of unbelonging. And among my sisters, I have the honor of permanent residence by her gravesite.

"I'll tell you this, traveler: the shape of a society is visible only from the outside, and there is peace beyond a boundary."

The player is offered the following dialogue options:

[1] Wasn't Rebekah a healer? Why are you an order of tinkers?

[2] Tell me about this ancient village.

[3] Who is the man camped near the graveyard?

[4] What do you think of the plant you share this building with?

[5] Live and drink, tinker. [End]

I love you, plant that rambles remixed in-game text. Some of this is manages to be kind of legit advice!
The plant, named Euclid, says "You're to recover it and incise the mark on your knees! O hear the wry smirk in her empty space. Some will no doubt yours as well. Someday. Once I could not be calmed.
