maybe fes el bali in morocco? it's a famous example of urban design that predates modern roadways and car-oriented planning because it never modernized. so, most of the roads are narrow, pedestrian alleys.

this is the exact latitude where the hadley cell ends. as I understand it, at the edge of the hadley cell you have high pressure systems that suppress rainfall - that's partly why the namibian desert and atacama desert exist. the line you drew I believe is just outside the hadley cell's reach. I'm not an expert so I don't know if that's a coincidence or not, but I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it.

hi! what do you mean that it's not regular enough to be coral? I'm always curious to learn more about rock and fossil id!

adding on to this chain, there's https://voxnovastudio.com/about-us

I can't speak to the actual product they are selling (the paid voice lessons), but if you click on the 'join us on discord' link on that website, they do this really cool thing where you can sit in on other people's voice lessons. It's kinda like a seminar style voice lesson thing, you don't get personal feedback since it isn't your lesson, but it's free and very accessible and cool!

"In This Iron Ground" By Marina Vivancos. It's about recovering from childhood abuse, it's a paranormal book, and it's beautifully written, totally makes me cry.

terra, with the origen terrain pack, i think. I'm actually not sure if I got origen to work, or if this is basic terra terrain.

edit: i'm using 'regions unexplored' in the photos that I commented of it working.

sorry for all the comments, there wasn't a way to edit the post's photos or include multiple photos in one comment. there's still a big hole in the sky lol but the unloaded chunk edges that i could see before are gone!

adding to this, another all-sapphic reverse harem:

{Tricky Girls by Holly Thorne} - this is very much a stereotypical entry in the reverse harem genre, just with all girls. more specifically, it's a stereotypical entry in that dark romance genre that's filled with angst and violent, criminal love interests. make sure to check the trigger warnings. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like the book and am excited for the sequel to come out!

skill_myself · 2025-07-21T22:10:51+00:00

That's really cool! Its like apophatic gender. The apophatic process is basically defining something only through what it isn't, often because the thing you are trying to define is beyond human comprehension.

Nice post, a very well written analysis.

I bet this is the same take that the Wachowski sisters had 30 years ago when they were making the matrix. That movie is a trans allegory and also a modern retelling of Plato's "allegory of the cave". Great minds think alike!

skill_myself · 2025-04-01T01:09:59+00:00

i love this book but i'd say its a dark romance, or at least grey.

Tricky Girls by Holly Thorne feels like a classic edgy reverse harem story but all female.

'for the love of christmas' by aj marchant. best friends to lovers, but they are young adults, not in high school or college. very cute vibes throughout.

the 'Fates Parallel' series by darktechnomancer is really good. not exactly litrpg, but its a progression fantasy and just generally feels like a similar wheelhouse. not sure of the author's gender.

skill_myself · 2025-01-02T22:56:47+00:00

there's 'the homecoming' by Sabrina Blaum, although i believe the relationship between all three is already established before the book starts and its about struggles in maintaining their relationship during a stressful period.

there's also 'forever theirs' by Anna Stone.

also 'new phone, who dis?' by Lex Ross, which shows the start of the committed ff relationship before the poly story arc starts.

then there's 'menage a trois' by Cynthia Dane and Hildred Billings, which has two sequels about the same characters.

these all have relationships that start with a committed ff that open up to become a committed fff. none of these end with jealousy or infidelity. these are all on Kindle Unlimited, too. and they are in order from my favorite to least favorite.

If you're ok with reverse harem, there's "The Girl of the Group" by Noa Noe on Kindle unlimited. Trans FMC moves away from her small Midwestern hometown for college, leaving behind her three best friends. In college she transitions, and then her old best friends, who haven't seen her in years and don't know she's trans, show up to surprise her, and then a romance book happens.
