i don't think staff knows lolita is a regular victorian fashion and not a kink fashion

So I know people are gonna be complaining about no zombie hatchling skins and I’m pretty disappointed about that too, but, can we all agree that the most important thing to push back on is the censorship of scars. The thing that isn’t just disappointing and annoying, but actually ableist and that people with more obvious scarring (e.g. burn survivors) have been talking about how other media censoring them or treating them like they’re frightening or “adult content” affects them for a while now. The fact that something reflecting an uncontrollable aspect of how real-life people, including children, appear is being put under the category of “content we don’t want displayed or communicated via our hatchlings.” The fact that healed scars are being put in the same “content” category as ACTIVE WOUNDS.

making a separate post for this so i don't derail someone's cool lore post but I've always had the idea that the fire flight is actually a very richly forested region with a lot of fertile soil and rainfall, especially the further you get away from the Great Furnace. i'll spare everyone the most of the earth sciences lecture but typically volcanic eruptions trigger bouts of rainfall (sornieth doesn't have el nino so i dont think global precipitation would be decreased in the same way as irl), and the constant warm air masses meeting the coast would create a hot, wet climate similar to sumatra (which also has many active or previously active volcanoes). i'm picturing a lot of the ashfall waste as dense tropical forests filled with fast-growing pioneer tree species and elaborate ecosystems based around hot springs heated by underground magma pockets. the ashfall corn cultivars are the bestest in all of sornieth and all the herbivorous breeds rave about them
