There's a scene in Ruin of Angels (most recent Craft Sequence book) where it describes a hallway as "lit with a color she had never seen before."
And at the time I'm thinking, okay, magic octarine color, whatever. She's inside a squid god. A bit out-of-tone for the setting but okay.
Then a couple paragraphs later, it's mentioned that her escort's teeth are glowing, and I realized Oh! It's blacklight! I know how that looks.
That was a cool moment and captures some of the essence of the series.

I want a series of Fred Rogers for President campaign ads. The Cabinet is sitting in the President's briefing room, outlining today's crises and concluding with a plea: "Mr. President, what do we do?" Everyone turns to the head of the table where an old TV and VCR turn on, and as the CRT warms up the VCR fast-forwards to a clip from "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" that covers exactly this situation. In one corner a general starts quietly weeping tears of joy, realizing that sharing is an option…
To put it more concisely:
Ontological and cultural-memetic explanations of identity are non-exclusive and I think that's really cool.
A huge amount of who I am and what I enjoy is shaped by the subculture and microculture around me.
That's okay. That doesn't make it any less real.
Maybe in other hypothetical contexts I wouldn't have ended up as a glow-loving fox-kin, but this is the context I actually inhabit. Culture makes us who we are.

'LongFurby is the creation of a 23-year-old photography student turned wedding caterer who calls themself Aloe. "She was an Idea that I just had to get out and onto paper," Aloe told VICE in an email. Inspired by body distorting memes like Longcat and their collection of 21 other Furbies, they found themselves wondering, "What if Furby was.... longer..."'

"In Italy, calzones are popularly believed to be the most efficient type of pizza for home delivery.[6] This popular credence has some scientific ground as the folded nature of the calzone results in a lower surface-to-volume ratio than a traditional pizza resulting in better heat retention during the journey from the pizzeria to the buyer's home."
