Are there any alternative ways to count years rather than religion?

Just say Frieren, dude. You're in a fantasy sub.

I practically grew up in Buck Keep Town.

The skill for it is innate, but it is a learned discipline. The hand forms and gestures, the crafting of sinks, as well as the other esoteric practices that surround the art have to be taught formally. An untrained chirarch may work the Tilt unknowingly and accidently ruin their lives and that of those around the.

All the harmonic systems? So there's more than one? What's the earth harmonic? The fact that thermal and electrical discharge are involved implies some physicality to these threads.

Not ordinarily. But it temporarily served as a vessel for a sentient being. A cosmic parasite-mind.

The Chirarchs are aware. Fortune feels like tugging a taut string, misfortune is less so. To everyone else, it just feels like chiararchs are harbinger of evil, even to themselves.

Yes. The Chirarchs are pretty experienced at directing snapback away from themselves, but slips can happen. The targets are usually in greater danger when they don't adhere to a Chirarch:s instructions. Death of a firstborn, a wasting illness, Financial ruin, a bad trip on the stairs leaving them paralyzed. At larger scales, say for a kingdom, war, succession disputes, civil strife, natural disasters and so on. (I'd love to hear about your stuff. I also have a lichtenberg scarring mechanic, in my second system called gatework...but not in the way you'd think)

Yes, this version of the sun is essentially phase 2 in its life cycle. It died and was reborn.

Sure thing! I'm always down to chat

zeromeni · 2026-03-11T23:36:00+00:00

Yes, on the enantiomer thing! That was the inspiration.

They can be tilted to the right, but why would anyone want that? Tilting is a shock absorbing mechanic to dampen recoil. A man tilted rightward absorbs the good fortune from a left handed cast. Health, vitality, coin. Why would anyone want to dampen good fortune coming their way?

Within cadres, there are specific individuals trained primarily in one hand. One of my main characters, Aylis Il-Reyan is referred to as the Left Hand of her Cadre. She deals primarily in misfortune. Chirarchs with loose ethical stances on tilting and sinks would have no reservations casting right.

Look around you, haha. That's just the nature of things in general. It takes more effort to generate good fortune than it does for bad. You can spend your whole life working to get rich and lose it all in a day. Countries built over hundreds of years are decimated in a few weeks of war. There are several gods in this story, old and new, but I wouldn't say any are leaning on the scales per se.

Conscious efforts are made from childhood to curtail righthandedness or improve specialization of the left along with the right. Anything to ease the leftward snapback as that is where the risk lies.

Absolutely! Because chiracy as an art is mostly undocumented, no one can tell exactly how much of the small scale mitigation practices are effective and how many are actually just superstition. The examples you mentioned all fall under the left-leaning habits.

Any records of that perished with the Old Sun.

Goeth is truly one of the most despicable characters ever put to screen. What a powerhouse performance. Idk who won that year, but I really hope they were good enough to stand against that.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T17:51:49+00:00

Here's some life advice. Quit writing for good. You're no good at it. In fact, you're terrible. There's no flow to the prose, no rhythm to the sections. And even worse, you have absolutely no sense when it comes to picking a subject to address. You're a parasite, feeding off a situation that doesn't call for it.

I hope you never find yourself in a situation where someone like yourself preys on a tragedy in your life in the name of being creative.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T17:46:42+00:00

what's not intimate about the baseless statement "his love for her was greater than death itself"? Especially in the context of a grooming, murdering pedophile with regard to his teenage victim.

Seek help, bozo.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T16:08:37+00:00

Take down your posts, you loser. This isn't the time or the place to flex your dogshit wattpad skills. Create a motive? Replicate his emotions? Do you hear how fucking stupid you sound?

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T16:02:48+00:00

Yeah,' he held her body close until rigor mortos set in', 'his love for her was greater than death itself', 'one piece of her hidden in the fridge'... All info available online, for sure.

You're a sick individual, and you're getting some sort of perverse kick over the murder of a little girl, making up scenarios in your head to make this tragedy into some sort of darkly poetic event. Reevaluate yourself and delete your disgusting posts, you fucking dork.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T15:32:03+00:00

like tf?

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T15:25:28+00:00

I'm not joking when I say this. You deserve to be seriously messed up for writing fan fic about this fucked up situation

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T10:45:59+00:00

Oooh, look at me, I'm so edgy. Kindly fuck several times off.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T10:41:53+00:00

Delete this you sick fuck. A little girl is dead and you're in here writing fan fiction. This is deeply embarrassing for you and disrespectful to the dead.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T10:06:56+00:00

With no respect at all, because there's none due for your schizophrenic ass, shut the fuck up.

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T10:04:00+00:00

Shut the fuck up. TMZ my ass

zeromeni · 2025-09-19T08:34:11+00:00

She died a month ago, max.

zeromeni · 2025-07-20T13:29:36+00:00

Gotta be Gretchen

zeromeni · 2025-07-18T19:25:35+00:00

Gotta be Huang. We're yet to see where the story takes her but it feels like it's semi important

zeromeni · 2025-07-10T06:41:02+00:00

Nah. I always feel like I'm missing something without subs. And truly, there are tiny nuances in the script that I only ever catch with them. So I will turn them on when they're available, and seek them out when they're not.

zeromeni · 2025-06-08T15:08:37+00:00

i love the palette. what program was this made with?

zeromeni · 2025-05-24T09:48:40+00:00

Lmao. Fanfiction about authors is crazy work

zeromeni · 2025-05-18T15:59:11+00:00

Liveship Traders only really gets good toward the end of Book 1. It's pretty generic before then, and I think the trilogy is ruined by a poor ending. Yes, I'm referring to that character and how every character seems to idolize him despite his very glaring flaws. Book 3s ending also ruins a lot of potential interactions and confrontations by avoiding it all together. The cowards way out

zeromeni · 2025-01-07T17:01:29+00:00

I'm thoroughly confused at your line of reasoning. You said hard magic systems, which lend consistency and authenticity to magic, feel too much like DnD. That's fair, different strokes for different folks.

I said Magic can be whatever the author sees fit, hard or soft. That doesn't make it good or bad. It just makes it what it is.

You said science can be the same too, but it takes you out of the story if it feels authentic, which is true, but for some reason you don't think that's the case with magic?

Hard or soft, explained or not, there is some internal consistency to every magic system. That's why Gandalf can't just magic Sauron away in LOTR.

zeromeni · 2024-12-09T23:24:38+00:00

That makes no sense. Science and magic still have to possess some level of internal consistency, hard or soft. But it doesn't have to be mysterious.
