#PennedPossibilities 1144: Is there a story behind your MC’s name? Were they named after someone or something?
My MC has many names (shown below), but that's because of their social structure that allows such a peculiarity. Too much to go into, but everybody names themselves. One character has dozens—and has run away from many things, too.
Original name: Unknown to protect her family.
Lightning Bolt: Blackmailed by the mob, she made this one up on the spot because she's a fast flier and she figured they'd believe her. They did. She's now an air courier for the mob.
Good Eye: Her photographs that would appear on the front page of the world's biggest newspaper required photo attribution. Bolt took the suggestion to use in her alternate career as a photographer.
Tandem: She taught a boyfriend (SC, LI) to fly tandem (very hard), but she decided she liked the nickname so Blue uses it for her. Of course, embarrassingly, she keeps discovering people they mutually know (including the leader of the world) know her by that name, moreover, they understand what it means.

#WordWeavers 2026.09.30 — What stereotypes do your MCs deal with in their world?
Everybody sentient in the Reluctance Series, regardless of chromatype, is human. Oddly enough—considering that they are all human—like majority populations in our world, in their world there are power disparities based on appearance and ethnicities and, failing that, arbitrarily high bars to pass over. Bolt, my day angel woman MC, lives in Home City in a daemon majority region, having immigrated. She deals with degrees of segregation and discrimination; she's even told the dander from her feathers make people (i.e. non-angelic) sneeze. But, being human, she reflexively discriminates in kind (amusingly in the men she starts to find attractive). I do focus on gender issues, however.
The subtext of the Reluctance Series is all about stereotypes and prejudices we don't notice because of our culture, traditions, and gender roles. I do my best to make such things subliminal in favor of good stories.

🚨 BLOGGAGE HAS OCCURRED 🚨
When a film is thirty years old, and is adapted from bubble-gum trading cards of all things, it’s understandable that one wouldn’t expect much from the resultant #DarkComedy.
This picture satisfies nearly anyone.

J'ai dévoré et fini ce #livre :anarchoheart3:
Un fantastique et indispensable essai #politique qui traite son sujet par le prisme de la #popculture, et notamment par celui de la #sciencefiction.
Où l'on découvre pourquoi le #futur n'est plus ce qu'il était, pourquoi les techbros se réclament d'une SF qu'ils ne comprennent pas et pourquoi l'IA est la phase final d'un capitalisme tardif... Entre autres nombreux sujets faisant généreusement échos à beaucoup de références et citations inspirantes.

CW: May (or may not) contain offensive language
Tak laughed and nodded "Aren't you glad you know some one with some idea of technology? Rising water tables, lowering pressure. You could get paranoid over stuff like that if you don't know what you're doing."
