Been thinking about the 90's scifi TV show "Sliders" lately, because it was most likely what first introduced me to the idea of the multiverse, and traveling it. First two seasons were pretty good, and then the quality took a sharp nose dive. Three of the main cast eventually left, the guy who invented the sliding technology got merged with someone else to explain why he was recast. Oh, and the final season ended on a cliffhanger.

I don't recall what channel it was on that I was able to watch it, but I must have stopped watching it somewhere in seasons 1 or 2, because there are some things that happened that I don't remember seeing, like when they introduced a recurring villain species of alternate humans, the kromaggs. Everything I've heard and read and seen about the kromaggs makes me think they were a good idea, even if a lot of people were upset by it. But yeah, you can only do "new world of the week" format for so long before it gets stale. Introducing a species of highly technologically advanced alternate humans that are going around to other Earths and conquering, destroying, or raiding them for supplies is a great way to add stakes. And the kromaggs looked pretty interesting, very visually distinct. I feel bad I never got to see that arc when the series was airing.

This made me think of a few things. First, I think I might have enough material about my Ravenstone series' multiverse to make a show with a similar premise, especially with a bit of writing help. Especially since that multiverse contains entities that control the fates of trillions of universes, entities like the deadly Nightmare, or like The Director, who doesn't destroy; they take people's free will from them and turns them into Heroes or Villains for their melodramatic stories, the kind of story changing over the centuries. Their current obsession is "steampunk in outer space." And then there are weird and creepy locations like Twilight or Stillness. There's universes where the form of Christianity that swept the world was very different from Catholicism. Worlds where Christianity / monotheism never arose. Worlds with entirely different magic systems from the main Neighborhood of universes the series takes place in (like the area of The Director, for one example). And because of "trailing universes" and "timeskip universes," a series set in that multiverse can even do something resembling time travel, without the same consequences. If you go to a world where it's still 1950 and you kill your parents before they can meet, that doesn't affect you at all because those aren't your parents, those are multiverse doubles of your parents. Most you can do is make a new universe where you don't exist.

Then, too, another thing I thought of is someone could adapt the "Long Earth" series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter into a TV series. It would be great, as it has a multiverse to explore, but the twist is that the multiverse is mostly empty of sapient life, apart from a few "joker" worlds like our earth, and some species from the homo genus that started Stepping long ago and evolved to adapt to wandering the long Earth.

The best part about adapting "The Long Earth" to TV would be that the book series is complete, you don't need to worry about coming up with new stories, just adapt the books' stories to television. You might have to do a little padding here and there to stretch it out, but there's obvious angles to do that from, including history and current politics. I'm thinking one book per season, so we mainly focus in season one on switching between the arcs of the settlers' journeys, and Lobsang and his friends exploring the high megas. Maybe throw in a few small foreshadowing bits for future arcs like the Next. Then book two becomes season two, and so on.

I guess the main issue would be getting the rights to do that. But I think it would be a great series. There's only so many books, so it's not like the series could easily overstay its welcome, as long as you actually stop the series at the last book and don't go trying to pull a "Supernatural" or "The Simpsons" by letting it live beyond the time it should have died.

Reading. ( Brosh, McMorland Hunter & Hughes, Melzack & Wall )

Dreamwidth! Down to two and a half months behind.

Writing. So many e-mails about objects. So many.

Watching. Farscape S02E06, Picture if You Will. The discussion about which of the Highly Specific Fetish Big Bads it was who was resurrecting in this particular context was entertaining in terms of highlighting the, you know, motifs. Of the work.

Playing. We have just managed some Fluxx. <3

Cooking. Batch of puff pastry for the sake of making two (of the three) things in East that call for it (because I could not quite bring myself to buy pre-made). Pleased with how the puff came out; mildly dubious about both the tomato, pistachio + saffron tart and the banana tarte tatin, but on the level of "I am unlikely to make these again", not "I regret making them".

Eating. On Tuesday we hit the point of Make The Internet Bring Us Pizza. The Pizza was very welcome.

Yesterday, Saturday, we went to say goodbye to Ruby Violet, i.e. we had cake for breakfast, along with hot chocolate. The flavours were all ones I was familiar with but I'm still pleased to have had them. (It is not impossible I will decide I want to make another trip by myself, though, especially given that they currently have the malted milk on...)

As mentioned we then also availed ourselves of an Ethiopian-and-Eritrean Veggie Combo and a piece of Japanese Curry Bread, both of which I am pleased to have experienced.

Exploring. St Pancras Waterpoint! Brief turn through Camley Street Natural Park.

Growing. Spinach that I thought was unlikely to still be viable turns out to in fact still be Extremely Viable! Spinach is go! And the lambs' lettuce has self-seeded nicely (so in fact I also had some of that plus some allotment rocket accompanying the tomato tart). Tomatoes continue to produce tomatoes. Peppers various looked very happy last time I went to see them ~~so now I want to overwinter them all~~. At home, the pineapple continues to grow and the lemongrass isn't obviously dead yet (and I'm doing something right with at least the larger of the two orchids...)

Observing. BAT, extremely obliging with the aerobatics. Good sunsets. Cyclamen various. Moon.

Ruby Violet, my favourite source of ice cream, are continuing as a business (I feel like that bit is important to say first) but will alas be closing their King's Cross parlour for the last time at 5 p.m. Sunday next, the 5^th of October. They're apparently still intending to have their ice cream van at Granary Square during the summer, and to have a variety of "pop-up shops" around London, but... gosh I have a lot of feelings about the amount of post-therapy ice cream I have eaten at the lovely big wooden table indoors and on the benches and grass outside.

So today we went to say goodbye (and I managed to drag a university friend into joining us, as they're also independently fond), in the form of Dessert For Breakfast: apple crumble + the hazelnut & hazelnut brittle ice cream for me; sticky toffee pudding and coffee mocha ripple for A. Hot chocolate for both of us. (I'm very glad we had the Afternoon Tea Experience in 2023 for Animals Week; by the time I thought to try booking a farewell repeat it'd gone from the online shop.)

We followed this up with some slightly more savoury food from around the entire Coal Drops Yard situation (one veggie combo from an Ethiopian-and-Eritrean stall, mostly for me; one Japanese curry bread mostly for A); fifteen minutes or thereabouts poking around St Pancras Waterpoint, an old water tower that was having a serendipitous open day; and a quick poke around the Camley Street Natural Park, which A had not previously met.

I'm very glad we did it.

I need to think of a good slang term for something in the witch world. The something in question is... how to explain this... when shadow-walking¹ (teleportation), what the magic is doing is you hide your body so the magic can force your whole body into a macroscopic quantum superposition, so it's technically quantum teleportation on a macro scale; the concealment is to prevent the observer effect from interfering.² And in very rare instances, sometimes the superposition collapses in a way that the person ceases to exist. I haven't decided yet if that's an actual thing or just exceptionally rare, but either way it's something some witches use to excuse why they don't shadow-walk... they don't want to cease to exist or end up somewhere they can't get back from. That phenomenon, real or not in-world, is what I need a slang term for.

Or at least that's what their best scientists think the magic is doing. Whether they're right or not... I dunno. But I treat it as though it's accurate until I decide otherwise.

The assumption with the phenomenon I need a term for is that either the shadow-walking person couldn't muster enough Will to reappear at their destination while still mustering enough to vanish, or that something else sees them in the stream and snatches them away in the middle of the trip. Which, given the existence in-universe of Shadow People, that isn't an impossibility.

The truth is that, whether it happens at all or not, it would be exceptionally rare regardless, because it takes a LOT of magic to cause something to go into the superposition state to begin with, and the matter "wants" to exist; whether it exists in point A or point B is irrelevant... if the process is interrupted, there's a LOT of weight to existence, so any chance of the matter not existing is so tiny that for all practical purposes, it's zero. But the phenomenon still needs a name because some people are scared of it and so they would still call it something.

The only real evidence for it being real in-world, and not just an urban legend, is the fact that if your thoughts wander when you shadow-walk, there's a possibility you can end up somewhere other than your destination. In the chapter I'm working on, Vedya experiences this first-hand by reappearing near Dalia instead of where she was trying to go, because she had been thinking about Dalia at the last second.

1 = Shadow-walking/light-walking/mist-walking, and also (sort of) with Blinking. Blinking, while it's mistaken for super-fast shadow-walking, is slightly different from shadow-walking, as there's no real concealment. The person literally vanishes in the blink of an eye; the Blinking tattoo speeds up their perception so they can do it at all, and forces observers to blink their eyes when the user is about to vanish.

2 = Yes I am aware that the person teleporting would be an observer, and also it is possible to bring other people along while shadow-walking (but not with Blinking), adding another observer. But the concealment process blinds the observers temporarily. Yes yes, I know, I know, but it works anyway Because Magic.

For fans of body horror and/or excellent boss design, please enjoy the Gaping Dragon:

Watch on YouTube

Look, I just love its whole vagina dentata/Venus fly trap/ribcage/entire-body-as-maw/spine-snapping-backbends thing, okay? And it’s a fun fight, despite its absurd number of hitpoints and ability to kill you if it bumps you with a leg while it’s charging.

For anyone curious about how the process of figuring out a Dark Souls boss fight can go, some samples:

https://youtu.be/nnZP6WkKRpg?si=M3abOUFachMgs6cP&t=1143
https://youtu.be/u2U5mlfI6zM?si=Scx5xCM_Z7lB4bbX&t=5560 (after getting Capra on the second try, Mapocolops enters the Montage Of Despair zone)

Important context for some of what’s happening: Dark Souls has no animation cancelling, so if you press the “light attack” button twice, your character will swing twice, and if you press the “heal” button they will start the (slow) flask-drinking animation, even if you’ve subsequently realized this was a terrible idea and are now frantically pressing the buttons to dodge and screaming at your character to move. This is part of what requires you to be more deliberate and tactical; you can’t button-mash your way through even if you can mash buttons quickly.

(Also, both Reggie and Mapo started off summoning an NPC for assistance, but the trouble with it in this fight is that the NPC AI is not very bright and tends to stand in front of the dragon and get eaten early, leaving the player dealing with a boss that still has the extra HP to make up for the summons.)

Conversely, after having an un-fun time with Capra, Symbalily reads the fight near-perfectly on her first try: https://youtu.be/ByTGX1NRFs0?si=VBbn5DLh0hK-Gqp5&t=3183

(Team Halberd for the win; that two-handed R2 is so good.)

Books
Listened to the audiobook of Yevgeny Zamyatin's 1921 dystopian SF novel We, translated by Bela Shayevich and narrated by Toby Jones. I don't have any basis for comparison for this particular translation, but I thought it was good. The narration was exceptional.

This edition also included a forward by Margaret Atwood, an old review by George Orwell, and an essay by Ursula Le Guin, 'The Stalin in the Soul'. By the time I'd finished the novel, I had forgotten the Atwood forward. The Orwell review was interesting. The Le Guin essay got up my nose: it was about how market forces can suppress ideas just as effectively as state censorship (a valid point), but somewhere along the way became about the dangers of unserious writing.

Read Victoria Goddard's newest novella, Olive and the Dragon,
and her previous ones Clary Sage and Traveller's Joy.

Currently rereading her second ever novel Stargazy Pie, because the fan server I'm in is doing a reread of the Greenwing & Dart series, and I'm hoping it'll lend me the momentum to read the rest of them.

Fandom
Still working on the concluding chapter to the fic I posted part one of at the start of this month. I've added at least a thousand words to the draft, and struggling with it.

Missed the nomination period for

trickortreatex and, subsequently, the signup period. Things have been difficult.

Did my Yuletide nomination a couple of hours before the AO3 server outage.

Games
Achieved A10 with all four characters in Slay the Spire and also killed the Transient before it faded; am now taking a break.

Tech
I've been working through the original levels of Reeborg's World, a gentle guide to programming using Python. As of this post, I've completed all the original levels except Rain 2, Centre 1 and 2, and Storm 2 through 4. (Edit with breaking news: I beat Centre 1 and Centre 2.)

Garden
Harvested some broccoli, purple and green varieties.

Hired a mower to come do what I was not managing.

Misc
Got out my old Lego Classic set, sorted the contents, and started working through the instruction booklet in order. I've never been into Lego: as a kid, I had my older brother's hand-me-down bricks and half an instruction manual with crayons scribbled across it. In my early teens I was in love with the short unit we did at school, using Logo to program Lego Technic sets (this was long before Mindstorms), but I couldn't get my parents to buy me Lego Technic to have at home. And as an adult the Lego kits just seemed too expensive and also too specialised. Recently I've been thinking I'd like to give Lego another look, in particular the less... "spend a lot of money on a playset to assemble and then dust" side of it.

Subsequently bought myself a "miniblocks" Halloween pumpkin kit from KMart, and have started building that. Much swearing has ensued. The quality really isn't as good as Lego, and the smaller size does not help.

I cannot tell if it's that I'm asleep, or that I'm Not A Biologist, or just that this paragraph (from The Challenge of Pain, Melzack & Wall) is actually very, but I am... struggling to persuade it to resolve into meaning:

Embryological and anatomical studies of fish, amphibians, and reptiles reveal that, even in the lowest vertebrates, reflexes are created by internuncial cells that link the sensory input to the motor output. During embryological development in these species, behaviour becomes increasingly a function of earlier sensory inputs as a result of the memory traces they have etched into the neural connections. Behaviour, then, is not merely the expression of a response to a stimulus, but a dynamic process comprising multiple interacting factors. Coghill (1929) was the first to propound this principle, based on his brilliant neuroembryological-behavioural studies of salamanders, which has been substantially confirmed by later investigators. Given this fundamental principle -- that organisms are not passive receivers manipulated by environmental inputs but act dynamically on those inputs so that behaviour becomes variable, unique and creative -- the remainder of evolution becomes comprehensible as a gradual development of mechanisms that make each new species increasingly independent of the push-and-pull of environmental circumstances.

Other than (but also, actually, in addition to) being sufficiently puzzled by this that I should definitely Go To Bed: I have caught up (mostly) on the PD e-mail. I completed one EYB indexing project and have been happily rolling around in making a start on the next. I made pastry, and used it as a prompt to unfuck the kitchen some, and then made progress on project Cook All The Things (From This One Book). I went on a Stupid Little Walk for my Stupid Mental Health. I am very very tired, and it has been a good day.

Discount raspberry trifle + freshly toasted flaked almonds. Excellent bonus pudding yes.
Social limb-wiggle! Outside, half under the trees, interspersed with The Toddler being Delighted to see us.
Some successful communication debugging, thus far of the "okay, well, we now have a better understanding of the shape of the problem" variety rather than in the "... and we've implemented a solution" sense, which is still useful progress.
Successfully got a bunch of other people's stuff out of my house and headed back to its people, even though this involved both Actually Parcelling It Up and then a whole entire trip to the post office. Good Job Alex.
FRIEND HAS FINISHED ORPHAN BLACK. FRIEND SCREAMED AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT. I am thrilled she loved it & was willing to yell about it all the way through when I didn't even try to lure her. She got here by herself. I am DELIGHTED. Did I mention I'm delighted? I'm delighted and I've had some Big Feelings and I have ALSO had some brand new-to-me horror from the penultimate episode Revealed unto me! Which is a different kind of delightful!

Yesterday I found £5 on the way to work. Which I was excited about and initially thought I'd blow it on something. But then I was thinking about The Great Courses Plus and how the course on personal finance has a teacher, a financial adviser, who claims you can get financially stable on $5 per day (presumably over here that is £5 per day).

And I jokingly left a poll in WhatsApp for my colleagues about whether I should use the money to buy two EuroMillions tickets, buy chips, or follow the financial adviser lecture series I'm watching. To which one colleague replied that the savings option made her laugh so hard she choked on her cereal. Now, I get it - we don't make enough money to feel to secure that we can consistently provide £5 to the table per day. But, that's basically a morning coffee or my soda budget. But I am also one for believing you should believe the experts (not without critical thinking, of course) and I decided I'm going to try to follow his advice as well as the retirement planning course.

So I got paid today and I put £150 - the equivalent of £5/day for September - into savings. I found out who to contact to increasing my pension contribution by 2.5% (which would leave the total contributions per month including my employers to 12.5% - the absolute minimum they recommend to live to the same standard as your working years. It's not perfect given my age, but it's a start.)

I don't know how to follow all the advice. For example, unless I renounce my US citizenship, my investment options here are very limited. I suppose relinquishing my citizenship should actually be in my 'dream' list. Given I can hold a UK and an Irish passport, the US citizenship is just a major downer in building my life over here.

But I figure I can try to put £5/day into savings. And reduce my spending. And I can increase my contribution into my work pension. And if I can eventually get an extra £5,000, I can look at renouncing citizenship so I can then follow his investing advice.

The USA is so ridiculous to be honest. They're one of two countries to consider citizens tax-residents abroad, first of all. But they should be pragmatic about it. They don't actually charge taxes for anyone making $109,000. If you're making less than 30-50% of that, they should just let you renounce for free. That way we can hopefully invest and save enough to not be a burden on their own system in our senior years.

Basically the USA should be glad to be rid of most of us (less than 5% of US citizens abroad - if I recall correctly, less than 1% of US citizens abroad) - make enough money to actually owe taxes, so we're just administrative burden. But they keep us on unless we shell up $3,000 not including legal and administrative fees, making sure there are no back-taxes, etc. in case we... I don't know. Win the lottery or something.

And the insult to injury is all I want to do is try to ensure I'm not destitute as a senior.

I hope, if/when we get out of this fascist rut we're in, that one of the things that gets done in the aftermath of fixing all the damage is that the Republican party is disbanded, all politicians who were Republicans are barred from any and all public offices for the rest of their lives, we disband the Democrats as well for being ineffectual do-nothings while the ship was sinking, create or promote a bunch of third parties to take their places, and establish mandatory ranked-choice voting. Under the new system, it would be a crime punishable by a steep fine to NOT vote, and you would be able to not just vote FOR someone, but also AGAINST candidates, ranking your votes from "Yes I want this person very much" to "under no circumstances should this person be allowed in office," and everything in between.

Today's post brought THREE of my (latest batch of) books from Oxfam, of which two were non-work-related: Index, A History of the (Dennis Duncan), which recessional mentioned when it was first published and which I am only just now managing to get to, and Chihuly at Kew, the exhibition book for the 2019 installation. I am having so many feelings about getting to flip through professional photography of all this art again. I'm so so pleased.
I mentioned these books to simont, who promptly went "hold on, isn't that the one that has a good Wikipedia article?" Turns out it very much is.
To my delight, despite the fact that I'd not been to the plot in something like two and a half weeks (between ten days away and the post-event collapse seguing immediately into A Cold that A brought home for us) all of the peppers various in the greenhouse were looking perfectly happy with themselves. HURRAH for Svaemskog terracotta watering bits + 2l drinks bottles. This is actually the happiest the chillis have been all year, given my... erratic... ability to leave the house; I am looking forward enthusiastically to the fruits of Expanding The System Further next year.
The ancient spinach seed is coming up! In vast quantities! That I was expecting to be dead and thus sowed all of across half a bed! There is going to be SO much spinach and even I will get to turn some of it into seeds for saving purposes, probably, and much of the rest of which I will go "oh right, I have discovered I like adding fresh spinach to the sad emergency noodle pots" about.
Brought home A Pannier Full Of Food, about which I am feeling very good given the Neglect. I am looking forward to turning a suitable array of tomatoes into part of the ongoing cooking project (at which point I will have some leftover puff pastry, so will also do the banana tarte tatin).

(I have not today achieved my Assigned Reading, by which I mean "30 pages of The Challenge of Pain, with notes", because instead I finished reading the last five pages of yesterday's thirty pages and still need to go back and Make My Notes on, like, twenty of those pages. I am learning so much neuroanatomy good grief. But there is bread, and there is yoghurt, and there is drying laundry, and I went to the plot, and I have started digging myself back out from under my pile of PD e-mails, and there was an excellent sunset.)

A little while ago I got Stable cortical body maps before and after amputation via an NIH press release; today it was *Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in people with chronic disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis...

... which dovetails neatly with the bits I just got out of The Painful Truth (Monty Lyman) about the bidirectional relationship between insomnia and pain, where each worsens the other but insomnia worsens pain more. (It's bedtime, so I'm not going to pick the book back up to get you those onward references just now.) With n = 5232, and their conditions including "cancer, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and stroke", "CBT-I was associated with significantly improved outcomes" (for insomnia severity, and moderately improved outcomes for sleep efficiency and sleep onset latency).

What'll be next? WHO KNOWS.

I just watched the most vile recipe ever made by a person. This bloke made a mushroom parfait! I thought I had misheard, or that parfait means something different in Britain, but no. The man actually made a parfait -- basically ice cream -- out of pureed mushrooms and onion. I'm gonna go vomit now.

I mean, I like mushrooms and onions. But as a parfait? This man is clearly insane and needs to be stopped.

The ads on the various games on my phone have gotten unbearable. I was fine with them when it was just the tiny X you had to hit. Now what I end up having to do is pressing a link reading "Google Play store" and then I have to hit the back button at the exact right amount of time after clicking that for it to go back into the app, and if I'm lucky, it will then bring up the X to click. More often than not, though, what it does instead is restart the fucking app! Which means restarting the level I was on if I'm especially unlucky, or if I'm just mildly unlucky, any reward that I might have gotten for watching the ad is just fucking gone.

I need to find out if there's an app I can install on my phone that will kill all of the ads or at least put them back to the way they were when it was just pressing the X. Because before this change, I could put up with the ads pretty much indefinitely. But now it's to the point where I get maybe a half hour of play time in before I just fucking give up in frustration.

I I've gotten well enough that the cough is almost completely gone and more importantly I have been writing again! I've gotten two chapters done in the last two days, and a third may be in the works tomorrow.

What's been helping is that these are "dueling tournament" chapters, so there's a lot of excitement from various featured duels.

my hands still really hurt, so i'll try to keep this entry short.

however, i finished my fic archive! i'm really happy with how it came out. i need to tweak a few things that have errors, but other than that it's in good shape. fic writing has always been part of fandom for me but not something i've really talked about on my websites until recently, so this is a little weird for me to make, but: in a web that's increasingly narrow, i think it's important to carve out little spaces like this.

also, i like writing behind-the-scenes content for fics, so there's that.

other than that, my hands have been in terrible shape so i've been offline a lot to rest. watched several movies over the past week, of varying quality, but nothing standout. i should really start on one of those shows that's been on my to-watch list while i'm icing my hands, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

my brother's wedding is in two weeks! i am not in the wedding (thank god) but of course i'll be going. while stressful, i think i am looking forward to it; he's the first of my siblings to have a big wedding so it'll be an experience for sure.

that's all for now. on to next week!
