This is it. The Angel died at the hands of his servant. The universe burned and Paradise arose from the ashes.

It is as prophesied.

You were right.

Please heed the following warnings: borderline suicidal ideas, borderline mind control/psychic stuff, Cal/Kurloz is a totally messed up pairing but I love it let me show you

Please let me know asap if this needs additional warnings!

I'm not really able to view or post to tumblr right now. Is anyone?

OK, Dandies and Gentlewomen!

I'm trying to do some character building for the sequel to Rule 2. I need help thinking up names and stuff for all these kids.

Just finished the draft for Rule #2. Word count is at 44093. Plus there is an extra sex scene that I couldn't shoehorn in but will post somewhere.

I'm hoping editing won't be too arduous. I think I got a lot of the continuity problems ironed out. The last half of the fic ended up being this sort of logjam of scenes that I wanted to do in some order. It took a couple of rearrangements to settle them. I'm hoping that they won't need to be reshuffled again.

This is what happens when you FUBAR chronology, I guess. Thanks a lot, Cal.

Now to let it set for a little while and do a final read-through before I descend on my betas with it. Thank you guys in advance!

Will definitely begin posting some time in January at this rate! Hell fucking yes.

You guys. Pronouns.

PRONOUNS.

#TW: discussion of gendered and non-gendered pronouns

Being genderqueer myself, I really love writing genderfluid/trans characters. So, in the distant future of 5I 'verse I've seized on the opportunity to create a single-sexed, completely agendered future society. And now, frickin pronouns. Stupid English language, gendered pronouns.

My tentative scheme for pronouns is that everyone uses 'he' until they come of age. After becoming an adult - probably either first heat or actually bearing a child would be the divider - they switch to using 'she' as a pronoun. It would be generally considered polite to refer to all adults as 'she.'

Family relationships are mostly traced through the direct matrilineal descent. Everyone refers to themselves as the daughter of their mother and her line, and the son of their father(s) and her/their line(s).

So, here are my questions:
1. Third-gender pronouns y/n?
2. If Y, which ones do you like?
3. Would individuals having a preferred pronoun even make sense in the long run, when gender ceases to be a meaningful or even well-understood concept in a society? Or should everyone's pronoun be the same?
4. Would a person's preferred pronoun be preserved in the historical record at all?

So yeah, advise me!

Okay! I'm going to preface this one by saying that I am not a biologist. I'm more of a science fangirl. So, any obviously wrong, implausible and/or poorly thought out stuff is all me. That said, here is a xenobiology blog a million times better than I could ever hope to accomplish.

Anyway! Continuing on. Warning! Graphically technical descriptions of NSFW content ahead!
( Get to the bulge already! )

Here are a lot of my thoughts on Aspects and Classes. This post is by no means as complete as it could be. Additions, comments, suggestions or corrections are entirely welcome in comments!

( Behold The Diagram )
( Aspects )
( My Class Verbs )
( Classes in 5I )

Wow that was long. Hope you made it through all that! In case you're wondering, I identify as a Seer of Void, due to my extensive, over-intellectual insight into made up shit.

Discussion of any of the above is very welcome!

A couple of people asked about how Karkat reacted to John's heat. So. I wrote this. Probably not at all what you guys were looking for. XD This may end up as part of a larger Karkat-POV fic covering his experience through from the meteor. Or maybe I'll just write some Karkat/John/Dave/Terezi porn to go with it. WE SHALL SEE.

Word count on the actual sequel to 5I, working title Rule #2: 22213. It's maybe halfway done? I'm not going to start posting it until it's pretty close to done, so I'm thinking some time in January at this point. I could still really use a beta, if anyone's going to have time in January for some concrit.

I'm now Universe-C on Tumblr too.

I didn't really mean to write another chapter of this one. It just happened. So, now I need to post it so I can stop obsessing. Unbeta'd as usual.

Also, for the record, I still think Cronus is a douche and their relationship is full of fail. It's just that even though they have basically the worst possible motivations and techniques, and they both set out to force the other to change... they still somehow end up being good for each other in spite of their own best efforts. Bluh, you guys. That is not how real relationships work, I don't think.

Warning, I guess, for ~~people having sex while pregnant?~~ dudes having tentabulge sex while egg-pregnant. Uh, in case you hadn't noticed there's a lot of that going on in 5I.

Whatever. Here have my feels:

( Thrombophilia - Ch. 2 )

Here is the first of an ever-increasing number of little shorts that belong to the 5I-verse. Most of them will probably be shippy. Like this one!

Kankri and Cronus are interesting to me because their dysfunctions compliment each other in this way that almost makes it back around to functional, but not quite. Also, it seems like they are genuine with each other in a way that they aren't necessarily other people. Like a lot of pairings in 5I, their relationship is FAR from perfect. But that's ok.

Warnings: Xeno, sexual content, mpreg. Uh, basically all the warnings that apply to all of 5I.

Needs a title before I can stick it up on AO3, I guess. Bluh, titles.

( Oh, Kankri, you're so repressed )

Not sure if/how this will work out, but here we go:

Leave a comment and ask me - or the characters - anything about 5I.
