You're assuming that today's update wasn't ghostwritten (in one way or another)

Poor Shelly - a demi-titan with feet of clay.

I haven't seen anything specific. Paul has put up a couple of drawings on eBay in the last couple of days, I believe, so that's a reasonably good indication that he's alive.

The real world intrudes...

It sounds as if you (personally, and your whole family) are working your ways through this difficult time of transition in a responsible way. At times like this, I guess, that's the best that anyone can do. We can't ever change what's happened, and there's no real benefit in playing "what if?&q...

Placoid scales, like a stingray? or some other sort of interesting biopolymer?

It's natural enough, and I don't think it has to do with Atsali specifically. Castela is the Blackthorn - both cosmically, and (in part) genetically. Her vines almost certainly bear a biochemical resemblance to the leaves and branches of a blackthorn tree. One of the animals which lives on the leave...

Very sorry to hear this! It's a real shame that the doctors weren't able to do more to help him.

Please accept my condolences.

Anxiety issues meet a blithe disregard for social boundaries.

https://wapsisquare.com/comic/you-win This second example makes an ironic sort of good sense. Mindy is using the incidental sounds generated by humanity to created a creepy atmosphere of a haunted house. Consider humanity's history and reputation. For a lot of the para species, humans may be "t...

More completely - she can say "Dancing insects, my dear Hiroshi. Bee Mai, honey!"

So, they're together. Nice to know that it seems to be working out for them.
