ME: I'm working on designing a tidally locked planet where life is confined to the twilight zone. MOTHER: A twilight zone, huh? With or without sparkles? ME: That depends on whether I include bioluminescent plants of some kind--hey. I see what you did there. The benefits of having a Sharder mother.

Agreed. The sun is very hot.

Oh, yes. Though many exobiologists nowadays think that the temperature poles wouldn't necessarily preclude life; in some models, a circulating atmosphere is sufficient to spread warm and cold air currents equally across both ends of the planet. The storms would be pretty spectacular, and life would have to evolve to cope with them, but the effect would be to make both sides of the planet habitable by well-adapted organisms. Though I do like the idea of the yellow star influencing life on the dark side. How regular would the solar cycle be in this case? Would the yellow star rise and set above the horizon on a set schedule, or would there be complications of some kind? I'm not wholly convinced that this is impossible, though I agree it's not likely for this planet. But since there's around a billion habitable planets in this setting, I'm sure I can get away with having these plants somewhere. I like those ideas though, and I might use them if you don't mind. I especially love the idea of camouflaged plants, though it's difficult to say what kind of incompetent herbivores would fall for such trickery. Maybe mimicry of some kind--multicolored plants that mimic the patterns of a venomous insect of some kind?

Happy birthday!

My dad refers to MLP as "My Pretty Pony" constantly. It drives me bonkers, and I think he does it on purpose.

You're a braver man than any of us, Twi. I think I'd rather attend Obliteration's. Sure, he'd ramble on about the end of the world a lot, but I'm the sort who finds fire-and-brimstone speeches pretty amusing. Much better than whatever poisons Regalia would spew. Would you rather take up one of the 16 canon Shards at random, or be gifted the Shard of Boredom right now?

Down but not up. The Earth will prevent me from hurtling off into space, and as long as I avoid lying down I should be fine. Would you rather have coffee with the ambassador of an alien race, or with Brandon Sanderson?

Nah, clearly Altermind just doesn't like you tinkering with one of his employees.

Like this? Also my cabin's electricity problems aren't as bad as we previously suspected, so I might be able to squeeze out a post later. Maybe. I'll have to see how it all works out.

"The Trifecta" is the nickname for a particularly depraved and sadistic gang of Epics. Though if you wanted to start calling us the Twifecta...

If my plans and capabilities were that of a certain necromancer, I doubt execution would do much to stop me.

Not gonna happen today. Sorry.

We're staying home from church this Sunday because our power system needs extra attention so it doesn't short circuit or explode or anything. Which is kind of ironic, because I could argue that if your household battery is at risk of exploding, you need more prayer, not less. -
Or Obliteration. * crosses fingers *

"School is in session," Prof said nonchalantly. He slipped on a pair of sunglasses and walked away, the school suddenly exploding for no reason behind his back.

No color. I'd tell people that the whole world used to look like me, and that they could check old photographs to prove it. I'd claim that "color photography" was actually extraterrestrial technology used to convert all of the sun's light into an alien spectrum, and if they don't hear from me it's because the FBI finally caught my scent. Would you rather be stuck in a chasm for one hour, or banned from the 17th Shard for a week?

What's the difference between Dick Grayson and Lift? One's Robin in tights, and the other's robbin' food.

"...what's a bat?" --Every Rosharan.

Don't worry, he has a nice garbage can right outside Vondra's house.

Why would it? He's no more surly and unwilling to open up than Kaladin was at the beginning of WoK.

While trying to find a screenshot of the Devil!Kronk's reply, I found this instead.

One person dreaming about Neko being Koschei is a coincidence. Two is a conspiracy. (Great post, Edge. )

Can we retcon Reader into having the ability to burp fire and teleport letters to the Princess?
