Sany creates

I have encountered one example in fanfiction so far, "You use three hands to eat" being a strong insult, from Astrobiology immersion program (https://archiveofourown.org/works/82728511), and "lover of life itself" being a phrase for aroace (don't remember where).

There can be "Flip over!" as a "fuck off", partially because eating in Eridians is obscene by the books, partially because that's a bad position.

I wonder if rough or smooth textures are considered more pretty? What would sound better, a highly conductive materia or a pillow? Or is it a layering thing? Would "you blend in with xenonite" be an insult, a weird statement, or a praise? Similarly, metal has a similar reflectivity compared to water (there are bat studies about those). Would little metal beads be a pretty thing? "You echo like the ocean" can certainly be a compliment.

And yes, by the book, there are oceans on Erid. Haven't watched the movie yet, but they were involved in astrophage production for Blip-A.

Different stones of the carapace can be associated with different properties, too. Both on carapaces and as a material. "Sharp like quartz" comes to mind, that is, if eridians associate smartness with sharpness, and even then it can be used in other contexts. Or there can be "smooth/soft like talc" as a description of clothing. I wonder if it's commonly made of asbestos (rock wool) or palygorskite (mountain leather).

"Hotter than an active volcano" is definitely a phrase, maybe as well as "freezing sulfur/iodine" (they have freezing points at around 110-120°C in this pressure [I did check phase diagrams], which is a reasonable point to be very cold considering 210°C being the room temperature; I'm not sure if there will be any free iodine, though), and maybe also "colder than astrophage/biodome" as a newer opposite.

Patchy colours of the Blip-A and the cylinders could be because of crystal grain. And we can discern grain size and packing with basically echo. "Grainy" can be synonymous or related as a word with "shoddy", because fault lines in materials lay between grains most of the time. Answering my earlier question, this might mean that sound-absorbing materials would likely be considered less beautiful, and pumice to be particularly ugly. That can open up doors to insults, like "can't hear a pumice from a quartz/limestone".

"Thrumming by themselves", for oddballs and loners, lost in thoughts.

"Discordant/accordant note" for something/one not fitting -- or fitting. Also a "missing cord", obvious one, too.

There is some liminality to the depot's area once we are inside it. But not in a scary way, more as a "What's there?" way. One that calls to explore. One that makes me want to be a smug and curious crow or a flickery fluttery bat or an ever-careful sparrow or maybe a mouse. Last one is a bad idea because there are cats that roam there. Ever the sentinels of the unknown.

Looks much better as a timelapse (under cut).

That's how the olschool pre-AI coding helpers worked, checking your grammar. Maybe he even checks an active and inactive copy, like DNA repair, only because an actively read area likely accumulates more errors.

So he must have a code checker functionality. And maybe some other repair-related features.

A fun angst/whump idea could be digital scurvy, with that exact area of code getting broken down, and Caine not being able to repair himself.

A cool stick. More cool under cut.

Had a nice walk today.

Girlie's name literally means "Poison". She is a brewer, be that of potions or alcohol, and dabbles in painting.

She's rather cheery, curious, lands with a series of hops and likes to run around. However, she can and will go overboard in her cocktailing and potioning. Also DO NOT ever drink her calming teas (she can drink it all right), you might not wake up even if you have poison resistance.
