@starkatt I do also want to hear more about how priests worked with gods, because I hardly ever see things that try to directly face up to 'gods do horrible things but people still want to preserve them, why/how?'. Whether you take that directly, or use 'gods' as a stand in for 'nature/the Earth', it still feels like something that modern paganism/environmentalism doesn't always focus on much.
@starkatt Oh, yeah, I totally get that and I'm interested in reading more about them too!
@starkatt I mean, especially as someone who grew up in the Desert Southwest, visiting (and sometimes living in places sustained by) those canyon reservoirs, hearing about what places like Hetch Hetchy and Glen Canyon used to be like...
@starkatt No, yeah, that's pretty great. As I said to Elanna while reading it: "These are hitting me so hard because they take all the subtext of my spirituality and basically make it into text" ;)
@starkatt Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, I'm just having to space them out. With my spirituality, these are rough reading sometimes. The whole Seven Leaf Lake segment of Two Serpents was REALLY harrowing for me, especially all you find out about the place when they're staying there after the fight.
@starkatt Though more to the point I desperately want to hear more about Caleb's efforts; the end of Two Serpents Rise gave me big time happy feelings.
@starkatt Nice. :) I've only read the first two (by pub date) Probably gonna read Full Fathom Five really soon now.
I wouldn't go for the silver tattoo ink myself though; I'm... almost certainly more Team Theists than Team Craftsmen. c.c;
@starkatt Aaaah which book are you on.
@typhlosion That sounds like something a typhlosion-bot would say. :|
@irisjaycomics I just want them to go to planets of people in dumb-looking tunics and have moral dilemmas that DON'T threaten the galaxy, is that too much to ask for?
@irisjaycomics Wait so hmm is the whole SERIES about Creepy Space Sarcophagus or is that like.. maybe just a pilot thing.
Because I love me some xenoarchaeology but I'm getting a whiff of 'save the galaxy from Klingon Mummy' there and that feels verrrry... 🤔
@Siphonay That'll only work if the new stuff is all added at the end though (so, specifically a log file)

@vahnj Weird mid-90's CCGs FTW. ^.^
@Xinjinmeng@mastodon.social The biggest bummer is like, I WANT High Desert Weirdness. I grew up with that and it feels homey.
But Night Vale doesn't deliver, and yet I worry if I wrote some of it myself... I'd just get compared to Night Vale. :P
@Xinjinmeng@mastodon.social This actually looks pretty great! Helps that I like a lot of other LRR stuff.
It looks like it's less _specific_ than Night Vale... wants to be? Night Vale's desert-town-ness seems like an informed characteristic that it's not really good at fleshing out, considering how often it informs us of it.
@forestservice (We have them here, it's not that uncommon, I just haven't seen one myself. ))
@forestservice OMG Stellar's Jay! I've never seen one in the city, very cool!
@emanate It does have wind-sculptures, that did occur to me after posting it. :) That's one of the places I was thinking of specifically, along with the creek sculptures across the street from it, which are very much a good example of the more land-centric stuff I was describing in the first part.
