Speaking of music recommendations, here's my favourite version of Somebody Will. Goes well with my Utopian ~cloak~ hoodie.
#TerraIgnota @adapalmer

So, I made this* idea into a little Renunciation Day fanfic, mostly by shaking and mixing up Ada Palmer's words! You can read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/82844356

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

Update: I had an idea for Spain that's just what I want to see in real life, and have written (or, perhaps more fittingly, remixed) most of the thing! The Utopians will have to wait though, writing time is up.

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

Hmm. I have figured out how three Hives work in this parallel universe Terra Ignota fanfic my brain apparently wants me to write.

Do I write it now, or do I wait and see whether I'll find out how the others are too?

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

I love how @adapalmer not just uses different quotation mark styles to mark different languages, but also when a character switches languages mid-conversation, the mismatched «opening and closing" quotation marks mark that as well

Höre mich gerade beim Laufen durch die #GraphicAudio-Version von #TerraIgnota von @adapalmer. Bisher ist die zweite Hälfte des zweiten Bandes mein absoluter Favorit, schöner Einblick in die Dysfunktionalitäten einer vorgeblichen Utopie.

Die #GraphicAudio- Inszenierungen sind übrigens das perfekte Format für einen Re-Read...

#sciencefiction

Just found out, that I can't complete @adapalmer|s #TerraIgnota audio books via German Audible store, bcs English book 3 (»The WIll to Battle«) is not available as narration, only as two part dramatized version, which fØcks me up big time (I am neurotic that way).
Fuck you, Schäff Penis and Audible and fuck you, stupid licensing agencies.

"The world doesn't stay saved"

A really interesting interview with @adapalmer , a historian of ideas and a sci-fi writer, the author of #terraIgnota .

Decided to stop agonizing about the names and accept I'm not Ada Palmer and can never do them as well, so, here's the Terra Ignota ficlet: https://archiveofourown.org/works/64339582

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

Working on the Terra Ignota fic, still hung up on the names.

Had an idea for a European gender-neutral name, but the character's an antagonist and I know and like a person with that name 😐

The struggle is real.

I just got the last script through for Graphic Audio's adaptation of #TerraIgnota by @adapalmer and it's hard not to tear up a little. Only 10 lines left. It's been one of my career highlights to be Carlyle Foster. She means a lot to the TI community and she means a lot to me, now. My privilege and honour. Thank you Ada, our original director Alejandro, Christopher who took over, the whole GA team and everyone who's enjoyed the audiodrama we made together.

It might be time for a little cry.

And the ficlet has acquired a villain! One whose likes I've met often, one I'd like to punch. It's kind of fun to write them, but also really annoying somehow 😅

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota #Fanfic

I never really tried to write "Terra Ignota" fic despite being a huge fan because I couldn't see how I could ever approximate these brilliant voices and styles. And now I don't even try, just write something adjacent, and I guess that's okay.

But the names...! The names are *hard*. There's so much meaning and worldbuilding in the names. How will I ever find names for my OCs?!

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

Me: oh no, now I've read this Terra Ignota fanfic, I feel the lure of the re-read rabbit hole again

My brain: or you could write a fanfic! Look, here's an idea!

#AmWriting #TerraIgnota

friends doing amazing work with #whales #terraignota atm

Whale Refractions adopts sound as a guide for a journey through shifting relations between human attention to whales, late Gondwana geology, morphogenesis of cetacean auditory systems, Eocene global warming, oxide-based recording methods and piezoelectric undersea surveillance, all interlinked through a particular set of sonic undulations typical to the Age of Mammals.

In @adapalmer's "Terra Ignota", the Utopians are terraforming Mars, the Humanists settling Antarctica.

Huh.

#TerraIgnota

(Okay, the Utopians are also in Antarctica, I know)

Or, flipped, it's the "Honey-do list" for all the harried dads.

Or it's the chore list for the teens, who are #adulting their way towards the stars.

#TerraIgnota

The Utopians in "Terra Ignota" have this "infinite to do list" thing where they see everything that needs fixing in the world, lest they become complacent.

And I just realized: lots of parents, overwhelmed between work and care work and laundry, have a similar list in their daily lives.

And it's kind of funny to see the Utopians, who are very masculine-coded, as the harried moms of the world.

#TerraIgnota

I have finished reading Seven Surrenders by Ada Palmer. When I finished the first book in the series (https://darkfriend.social/@hybridhavoc/111976712993200601) I said that it felt incomplete without this second one. Now that I have finished it I can say that these are really phenomenal books, especially for anybody that is into political intrigue and sci-fi.

It feels like a more proper stopping place, allowing me to move on and maybe come back to the series at a later date.

Saw this* and, being the huge "Terra Ignota" dork I am, immediately thought "EU citizenship? Yes! They're finally doing it!" But, alas, not without having a EU member state citizenship 😅

I #AmReading Seven Surrenders by Ada Palmer. Book 2 of Terra Ignota.
-----
It is a world in which near-instantaneous travel from continent to continent is free to all. And it is a world in which, unknown to most, the entire social order is teetering on the edge of collapse.

Because even in utopia, humans will conspire. And also because something new has arisen: Bridger, the child who can bring inanimate objects to conscious life.

"I would rather do five evil things to gain a hundred blessings than wait for one clean blessing that demands no wrong."

Chaos theory says you can't calculate consequences that cleanly. Discuss.

(Eureka Weeksbooth and the rest of the bash' have an opinion on this. But THEIR abilities are certainly superior.)

I #AmReading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. Been on my TBR for a while now.

Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer—a spiritual counselor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away.

Of course, when I saw this post*, I imagined Julia Doria-Pamphili from the Terra Ignota novels by @adapalmer narrating an audio guide.
