“Are you aware there is a species of bat on Mercury that begins life as mammalian larva? […] In order for the larva to mature to its destined form, it must find a host to grow inside and then consume when it is ready to fly.”
Listening to DA and this line from Xenophon in Ephraim’s last chapter has me thinking about a certain pixie’s time spent in a cave full of bats on Mercury. Imagine? Idk if I’d be pissed or giddy if that was his end.
In the end of Red Rising, Nero tells Darrow that his wife is the reason he pulled strings for Adrius at the Institute—that she begged him, or some such. At some point I was like…okay, maybe he remarried after his second wife (the mother of the twins) died, but I don’t remember a third wife ever being introduced. Am I forgetting something? Could he be talking about his dead wife’s wishes and just be being weird about phrasing? Would Mustang’s mom really be like “Yeah, don’t worry about Virginia, but cheat your ass off for Adrius”? Or is Nero just brazenly fibbing because he’s the boss of a planet and doesn’t think it really matters if Darrow questions it? Darrow never questions it later on, either…granted, shit escalates, so it probably wouldn’t be in the forefront of his mind. 🤔
I feel like the size of the bed when it becomes able to accommodate two Paras is really wide!
I was messing around with recreating my bedroom (using the actual dimensions and the amazing build system). I resized furniture to the dimensions of my actual furniture by drawing out walls of the proper length and using those to measure the furniture. My poor queen size bed only accommodates one para. 😔 (Side note, this was tedious to do but amazing for trying different ways to arrange the room.)
Anyone else feel like the minimum double bed size is too thicc?
