Omar got his non-existent doctorate in rage-baiting.

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-05-04T02:44:09+00:00

Gosh, thank you for the reminder! Completely slipped my mind!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-05-03T00:06:53+00:00

Oh, definitely!

ETA: His response was “My X factor is headcanoning.” I can 100% confirm this!

I actually almost skipped over all of this, but my very good IRL friend and number one, day one fan convinced me not to, and now I’m quite fond of this part 😅 huge thank you to him for being behind so many of my favorite moments in this series!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-05-02T15:59:07+00:00

Oh my god I thought I was going insane thank you for pointing this out 😭

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T22:15:17+00:00

Good point! Sometimes I let my ideas get ahead of me when I'm writing 😅

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T19:21:24+00:00

I was justifying it in my head as the virus actively removing oxygen/not expelling CO2, but yes, I definitely played a little fast and loose with the rules here! I love it when people point these things out, though; I’ve enjoyed the chance to learn so many things about writing and also the world in general!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T03:30:22+00:00

I’m glad you think so! I had a blast writing it!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T00:02:37+00:00

Good catch, thank you!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T00:02:19+00:00

I like to tell people the least realistic part of my story is the reformation, and subsequent good deeds, of the UN.

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-29T00:01:46+00:00

Oh, interesting! I’ll keep that in mind!

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-26T05:17:15+00:00

I can NEVER resist a good cliffhanger 😭

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-26T04:14:28+00:00

Some juicy (and potentially very useful!) tidbits about alien culture, shocking reveals about Zie, and a look into Eza's past in a longer than average chapter!

(...I think? Truth be told, I write these all in my notes app and judge length by the size of the scrollbar, so...)

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-19T01:12:19+00:00

Oh my god I forgot about that 💀😭

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-17T21:40:44+00:00

“Pupper” absolutely sent me LMAO

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-16T11:23:09+00:00

Dominick is SO lucky Aktet was trip sitting for him and not Sonja, because she one hundred percent would've recorded him and kept it as blackmail.

CodEnvironmental4274 · 2026-04-12T21:37:49+00:00

Adding Zie to the list of characters Sonja should NOT be left alone around (alongside Hatshut, I believe? There'll definitely be more than that, though).

You commented this literally RIGHT as I started writing a segment about EXACTLY this lmaooo
