#WordWeavers 2026.09.18 — What are three personality strengths your MC has?

Honest

This doesn't mean she doesn't lie, but this is only to protect people. It doesn't mean she isn't a criminal; she works for the mob. She won't steal from you, or others, but she will do what she's ordered; that's generally is not stealing, and for other things she will misinterpret nuances to preserve her integrity.

Learns from mistakes

She has made so many, she considers herself stupid. She's done things that make her state she's lost all dignity, which helps her do the hard things. She sees her pride as evil, and tries not to be prideful—except of her fitness or her flight skills (well earned).

Knows to flee not fight

She can't. Fight, that is. She gets in trouble when she forgets that, but it's always to help another.

#PennedPossibilities 1133: Did your MC attend school? What sort of education did they have?

Dropped out at the start of her senior year in high school. She was a jock's jock and only got a plus-plus in physical education. She barely passed all the required classes to stay on the Flight and Track team that she captained. (The members were all male.) She did well on physiology and anatomy sections of her science course, and oddly, fairly well at comprehending physics (she's a stunt flier) though her arithmetic was bad enough it didn't help her much. She was good at figure drawing. She really studied the boys, if you get my meaning.

Such a heartbreaking but ultimately positive episode of #DarkMatter today—S2 E04, “Stars, Hide Your Fires”—the best kind of tragedy, the one that edifies as much as it rends. Authentically representing #PTSD symptoms as major plot-drivers. Canonically establishing why “Jason Prime” is the Prime and “Jason Two” will always be second place, no less. So Crowleyan, through every moment down to the episode’s name.

Perfect moments: Amanda’s face when she dares Jason Two to try; Leighton owning up to being the ultimate charismatic supervillain we can’t help but love; Charlie’s analysis of the “Nighthawks” Edward Hopper painting; Daniela’s dogged, haunted run; Jason Prime’s continued flashbacks.

#ScribesAndMakers 2026.09.17 — ~Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.

As you can see looking at the quoted post, the Mastodon consensus was that of rifle, bow and arrow, spaceship, and singularity bomb, that rifle was the object NOT in Reluctant Moon.

Bang! You're right!

I almost put lunar colony in the list, but thought better of it. All other items appear in the story. Although the singularity bomb is demonstrated, the narrator hasn't the vocabulary to state that; instead, he describes the launch and the pretty effects of an ionospheric detonation.

About rifles: Firearms are the most prohibited device in this era because they can be so long range and lead to ills like canons. Whole populations have been killed due to someone creating one, simply to prevent the mere concept of the technology from propagating. The secret prohibition is no joke.

#ScribesAndMakers 2026.09.17 — ~Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.

As you can see looking at the quoted post, the Mastodon consensus was that of rifle, bow and arrow, spaceship, and singularity bomb, that rifle was the object NOT in Reluctant Moon.

Bang! You're right!

I almost put lunar colony in the list, but thought better of it. All other items appear in the story. Although the singularity bomb is demonstrated, the narrator hasn't the vocabulary to state that; instead, he describes the launch and the pretty effects of an ionospheric detonation.

About rifles: Firearms are the most prohibited device in this era because they can be so long range and lead to ills like canons. Whole populations have been killed due to someone creating one, simply to prevent the mere concept of the technology from propagating. The secret prohibition is no joke.
