Sorry if this has been asked before, but what do the different sophonts call their parents? Like a centaur or bug ferret equivalent of mom/dad/etc?

Many things in thousands of different languages. I will explode and die if I have to make that many conlangs so I'm going to talk about English terms. There's gender neutral endearment terms for parents in English, which often originate from tailed spacer communities, like "per," "parry," and "sasa/zaza/xaxa." These sometimes get transposed onto aliens when referring to their familial relationships, since most Anglophones in RttS refer to aliens as non-gendered, as it's considered polite form. With avians dun and bright tend to get slapped on as a prefix to specify relationships, like brightparent and dunparent. With centaurs most humans would probably just refer to the parents by their clan roles. I.e. matriarch and entourage sire. But humans tend to be quicker to gender centaurs since their sexes function similarly to ours, so automatically gendering matriarchs as feminine isn't uncommon.

#sometimes tailed spacers will refer to their sire as dad and birth parent as mom and if like #their dad gave birth to their sibling and their mom sired. that sibling would call the mom their dad and the dad their mom #tailers tend to play it fast and loose with gendered terminology #jaytext #runaway to the stars

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Castle Town

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #castle town #castle of dreams #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #this game is so beautiful and i love how dark and gloomy it is #it's unsettling to see how the water from the fountain and everything else is suspended in time #these lost worlds are all so lifeless and splintered #i should be used to it by now but the sudden upgrade in graphics always catches me off guard and i find myself- #spending a lot of time looking closely at all of the details #it's just so interesting to me to see the locations in these games portrayed in such a new visually distinct way #also this is my first time being able to play this game for myself. i used to have to watch the cutscenes online

The great general remained, and then saw a wonderful vision clearly shown him by the very God of the universe himself. In it he seemed to see the divine Meletius, chief of the church of the Antiochenes, investing him with an imperial robe, and covering his head with an imperial crown. The morning after the night in which he had seen the vision he told it to one of his intimate friends, who pointed out that the dream was plain and had nothing obscure or ambiguous about it.

Theodoret Ecclesiastical History 5.6

wahoo! Theodosius! so a repeating phrase in the gospel of Luke is 'do not be afraid,' but specifically: I'm most immediately referencing the annunciation of the shepherds (Luke 2:10) because I used this illustration for the last panel since it. sort of. connects to Valens, Theodosius' predecessor, who went from commoner to king at the will of his older brother. HOWEVER. because of that transformation. I cannot escape the 'do not be afraid' just a chapter before (Luke 1:30) that Gabriel gives to Mary because ascension to the imperial throne is an ugly, violent, and violating transformation. and. well.

Gabriel’s Entrance and Biblical Violence in Luke’s Annunciation Narrative, Michael Pope

also in general. prophetic dreams and visions. horrifying. it never goes well for anyone.

#komiks tag #late roman empire tag #listen. you cant escape the absolute clusterfuck of bullshit that's going on with christian doctrine by this century #you might as well go ham or whatever. fucking. justinian and theodora were out there inventing my least favorite #divine justification for roman imperialism and its bad enough i have to suffer through it in renaissance literature discussions #UGH. anyway. might as well have fun with it while we still can. #thankfully i have no intention on going any farther than theodosius. so i can #ANYWAY #If you want to play 5-D chess I’ve also done something funky with theodosius’ gender by associating his future emperor status #with a birth narrative but that’s about as far as I’ve gone with that particular thought because there is a cassius #situation parallel I need to untangle right fucking now

Dumbledore: clearly tom riddle was evil from birth bc he stole stuff in the orphanage

Also Dumbledore: pay no attention to those letters between me and my boyfriend plotting world domination

#albus dumbledore #Harry Potter #Tom Riddle #guess evil from birth sounded better than acknowledging the role he and wizarding society at large played in creating the conditions for #voldemort to emerge #grindledore #my post
