Pixie, Archmage-to-be with druidic leanings, Life runed
Chittr site-hack (not literally, but figuratively in the same vein as a life hack)! If you don't use a react often, you can use it as a pinboard of sorts for posts you like. I don't really "hate" or "pity" things often, for instance, so I could hate a post I want to see later then hit the "pitied" button on my profile.
I'm a bit late, had to do a little bit of multiuniversal unit conversion. Unless my calculations are off, I'd be around 106 of your centimeters?
Pixie princess magicks upon thee reading mine post! What does it do? Well, you'll see. :)
I never really considered myself as such, but after my conversation yesterday, I kind of like the ring of "Princess Lila".
Good evening, Chittr! I see the site is looking a bit more graphical today!
Hmm. I should test the efficacy of blessings and curses through a universal wall, sometime.
I feel a little bad for those who can't experience the feeling of flight.
Pixie fact: If we don't consume sugars we die.
/pixies n diabetics both got tht shi on 𝐋ock fr fr 💯
Hmm, would it be too self centered to create a pixie badge when I'm the only of my sort? Hm hm hm.
Fun fact: Magic is real, but you have to be able to do magic to see it!
I hope I didn't offend the floral princess by revealing I'm typing on an object that was grown from the earth.
/ᐠ Not at all! Sorry, I was getting a message. We grow much of our tech as well! Gosh, your species is already feeling a lot less alien than the ones on Earth. (˵◝ ⩊ ◜˵マ ᐟ\
Oh! Alright, that soothes the heart a bit, haha. I'm actually something of a druid myself, despite my true calling being elsewhere. It's a fun little hobby to amuse myself in off hours.
Ah, the exchange in information I'd so wished to have. My wings are all aflutter!
Hmm, would anyone have a glimmer of interest in a sort of cultural exchange? And by that I mean I reveal facts about pixie society as I learn more about yours! I am fairly certain I remain the only pixie on this platform; at least by the definition of pixie I retain.
/ᐠ Fascinating! Kind of like Earth then. ₍^. .^₎⟆ Fangora just has the one sapient species, us Dryads! ฅ(ᵔ꒳ ᵔマ We're chlorophyllic life forms - living plants, if you want to be reductive - so I was surprised to find out that most sophont species are animalia! I assume that's what Pixies are, too? (˵◝ ⩊ ◜˵マ ᐟ\
oh. you're going to play. oh boy. that's wait, you know it's coming? and what it is? how are you preparing? :o
I only know a little bit, so I can't profess to know *entirely* how things will go, but I'm going to ensure what can carry over to the other side, will. I am a very powerful mage-to-be, so I think I have the capability! Currently that amounts to collection, of sorts. Samples and pictures and data.
I suppose biologically we would most resemble animals, yes! We are creatures of flesh and blood, though we have a deep connection to the natural world- moreso than our worldmates, at least. I am actually communicating from a device I grew myself!
well yeah, it is pretty hard to know what's going to happen because it sort of builds itself around you? so you end up making the enemies you are going to fight because you have to in order to survive. and that has nothing on going god tier. because, oh boy. but, ok, what do you feel like i should know about pixies?
A game operating on predestined paths, gods and self-made monsters... Interesting! We pixies have a way of getting "around" rules like that, though, so I'm sure we'll be fine. Hmm... Well, we live in a largely magical society- Something I find notable enough to mention because the other races on my world don't utilize it half as much as we do. Mostly, anyway. I'm actually in-line to be an archmage myself! Which I believe would be equivalent to a princess on one of your worlds?
so where i am from, we don't have kings. i mean there's a couple countries that do but mostly they're figure heads. not that i want to think about the politics of earth-c, where i'm kind something, i don't really want it and it's like a whole thing. but it's probably going to help that you're also magical, because magic is very useful in fighting fate. and that's the thing, you're going to probably hear stories about how people beat their game, and it's all about breaking it. but, breaking it also does terrible things. also are there like, a lot of arch mages where you come from?
There are a few! They operate on a sort of council. They aren't *strictly* our leaders, but many defer to their wisdom on matters of governance or important topics when they aren't sure about them themselves. And I'm in line to join them, soon! As a sort of representative of my generation. Hmm. This game seems like it has a very narrow definition of "winning", if both beating it and not has less than ideal outcomes. Truly, it sounds like something I'd be in my element for- We like our games, after all. Even if they aren't quite fair. :) I actually wasn't aware such things were phased out in your culture! I suppose my information was slightly outdated.
huh. humans really like making countries. and, countries don't really like coming together too much. not unless they want to fight other countries. it's definitely a whole thing. and so is sburb, it has all these rules that are like, really hard to get around. at the start, a life killing amount of asteroids is going to come, and it's going to come because it was destined to. because it's already in motion. it depends on your perspective. and yeah, we mostly lead ourselves with elected representatives. we still do war and all that, but maybe less of it? i hope?
Currently, our own planet is more or less divided into three nations! Primarily lead by the different peoples, though of course there is intermingling. We're all... Mm, I wouldn't say we're in perfect harmony, but we're at peace! There is strife and crime here and there, but I assume that to just be a fact of existence. I only have general knowledge of how the other nations do their dealings, but I'll work to alleviate that in time. Hopefully before they're gone, if what you're saying is true! Asteroids, you say? Hmmm. That's already got me thinking up some ideas. Maybe I'll pass the news along to the other archmages once my ascension happens.
I am starting to get the impression that this "Alternia" has a very chaotic societal structure.
၄⋆၃ unfortunately i myself am not having the most fun dot dot dot
Most unfortunate. I am not certain on the efficacy of blessings across universal lines, but I am hoping your day/week/et cetera improves.
(=Ф^Ф=)THE ALTERRNIAN ФNE. THE CAST SYSTEM MUST BE ABФLISHED(=ФⰙФ=)rawr!
I'll withhold my judgement (professing a lack of experience with such), but I hope that works out for you!
ASIDE... Historically, the social structure of Alternatia has been quite simple to understand. It is divided into castes. The highest caste is fuschia, exclusive to the Empress and her heiresses. It then goes violet, purple, and indigo. These are the highbloods whom benefit the most from the social order. Cobalt, teal, and jade are the colors considered midblood. They are not necessarily subjected to the same treatment as the lowest, but do not benefit from the rightful treatment of the highest. Olive, gold, bronze, and burgundy are the lowest. They are at the bottom of the pecking order, but as biological compensation, are typically hatched with abilities higher bloods do not possess such as psychics, psionics, bestial control, and enhanced endurance.
(=Ф^Ф=)THE RRIVERRS WILL RRUN PURRPLE AND THE ФCEAN WILL BE STAINED VIФLET AND FUCHSIA(=ФⰙФ=)rawr!

Hmm! I see, so it's like that. I was a lightly befuddled by where the "hemo" part came in- And now I see all this colorful display is what literally runs within one's veins! Very enlightening, I thank you for both the information and the time you've spent conveying it to me.
Oh, my familiar wants to say hello! [Pictured within the post is an up close, slightly shaky shot of a BIG fucking hummingbird. All that can be seen behind it is a small section of a wooden room with light coming in a window.]
Said with utmost respect, of course. If you like giving yourself cranial hemorrhaging that's your prerogative!
Extrauniversal entities are fascinating. Sometimes there's deep discussion of societal acts far outside even my realm of understanding, and sometimes its like watching someone beat their skull against a cave wall.
Alrighty, I've got some fae business to attend to. Which, by that I mean, any business. Ta-ta, my adjacent-reality compatriots, try not to be too predictable to your species and die terribly in my absence!
I'm so very good at it though, cmon.
This one is pleased to see so many blessings being flung around.
