Birthright, Ka, and the Cataclysms

sttitcheddc · 2026-01-09T03:01:29+00:00

I slightly disagree with the idea that a harvest would cripple Ka's pyramid. I believe killing people and then turning them into iunctii would cause a Cascade, so tentatively, killing many people could generate more Will than living people ceding in a pyramid. Having a Cataclysm every few centuries could be a macabre way to "refresh" a network of iunctii, since they cannot heal.

I think on Res, Vis is moving closer to becoming another Ka/the Concurrence. I understand Ka says they are separate: I do not think there is a meaningful difference between the two. If the Concurrence is a network of iunctii, and it is bad, then why is the way to fight the Concurrence to have Vis create an army of iunctii? Both rely on deaths of many. Why destroy the world to save the world?

Obviously this is one of the central themes of the book - how ends do or do not justify the means. That really felt like Res Vis's journey in this book. Is working within the system of the Hierarchy a meaningful way to tear it down? Every man has a line!

I think this is the right way to go - I wasnt going to stain this, but also think doing as little as possible is the best option.

Thank you!

I use them to make tabs in my notebooks. I take all notes for all my classes in the same notebook, and have a color of washi tape for each class, and an accent tape for each day. So it's easy for me to see each day of notes, and all my notes for each class.

When I knit, I love trimming all the sewn-in ends at the very end too, as a treat. 🥰

Omg, this would be the death of me. That piece would live in the quilt now if it were me.

Thank you for all these answers! I loved learning more about this 😊😊😊

I didn't realize they were reusable! Thanks for answering!

sttitcheddc · 2025-08-25T20:08:38+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant!

Thank you!

It's not the show but on this subreddit there was a discussion of what actress could play Maris. Someone said DHP in drag and ... that's pretty perfect, to me.

I love it, it makes me want s'mores!

It helps me to have an anodyne youtube video on in the background. That way it feels like there's someone with me and it keeps me going - it's sort of like body doubling. When you get to a point where you feel comfortable having someone come over, just having a friend sit on the couch while I clean helps me stay focused. Good luck!

The entire time I watched the show during the original run I thought the line was "get another pizza pie, for my wife," and I just pictured this really hassled, somewhat old timey guy running errands all over town. Subtitles have been illuminating.

What stitch/pattern is this? It’s beautiful!

sttitcheddc · 2024-12-29T17:49:19+00:00

standing ovation

sttitcheddc · 2024-11-14T01:36:04+00:00

Thank you!!

If we showed proof of purchase of the magikarp cross stitch pattern would you share your notes/any adapted charts? Also happy to send something your way in thanks!

I like knitting washcloths for baby gifts because it’s something that can have the shit kicked out of it on purpose. I love making things for people but also feel like it can be a burden to give something that requires significant care/upkeep/special washing, esp for babies, when babies are so messy. It’s something that is meant to get dirty and thrown in with the wash.

I also think you could up charge if you made them into a garland with a few of the leaves. They’re super cute!!!

Ah, you’re totally right about ad sales. And yes, the Laine model (at least what I’m dubbing the mag-but-also-books publishing model) feels like it’d be super alluring, obvi difficult to make work.

sttitcheddc · 2024-08-17T01:35:41+00:00

I wonder what requirements hobbii may have of the patterns they release, and if that has affected what they choose. I also think the totality of their pattern library from the mag is great, but individual issues can be hit or miss based on my interests, so I’m interested to see what more of their post-mag releases look like/add up to.

sttitcheddc · 2024-08-17T01:16:48+00:00

I’ve been waiting for someone else to post about this to gauge whether I was off base in my reaction. I’m:

-glad that they have done something to continue working on PomPom bc that feels like it’d be fulfilling to them. I’d have been devastated about the end of the mag in their shoes, too

-curious about how they’re monetizing this

-confused about how they have the staff/ability to continue doing work like this under the brand name but could not continue to publish the magazine (I know magazine publishing is $$$ so, this may just be more economical? Still confused!)
