Orn, City of Starships, had been beautiful. An oasis of civilization, Zanji had called it, in the wreck of the cosmos. Viv saw its former glory in its ashes: crystal towers snapped by a mighty hand, their shattered peaks filling broad avenues. Heavenly bridges went nowhere, ended in splinters. Among the ruins Viv saw amphitheaters, arenas, market squares, perhaps a shopping mall - she knew she was misreading all of this, painting the dead city with categories and purposes she understood, but she couldn't help it any more than she could help hearing sorrow in a song in an unfamiliar tongue. Orn, city of starships, Orn of the best seafood this side of anywhere, Orn of the simulated depravities, Orn where you could talk to gods. The city's people had loved her, and built her so well that an outside, stepping tender, scared, from her ship a thousand years - more? - after her fall would know the depth of their love. They built her so well even her ruins awed.

Ea, Our Second Chance (2b)
2b. Meteorology and climate
(< Back to 2a. Tectonics and surface features) (> On to 2c. Life on the planet)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(full image 1, full image 2)
« I will gladly admit the Universe is fine-tuned for the existence of humans. It is also equally fine-tuned for the existence of nettles, mosquitoes, and bioethics boards. » – dean Sofia Torres, A Candle in the Night
Hot air at the Equator rises and, cooling down, loses its moisture, producing a low-pressure belt of rain; hence, the equatorial rainforests of Ishkur (on Inanna) and Oshun (on Dumuzi). This air, now very dry, cools further in the upper atmosphere and falls down at about 30° north and south, creating dry, high-pressure subtropical belts: hence the Anzu (Inanna) and Martu (Dumuzi) deserts, as well as the aridity of most of Enlil. This air then blows back to the low-pressure Equator, as the trade winds; because of Ea's rotation (with east being defined as the direction in which Utu rises), they also blow westward. At the Poles, cold air falls down, creating dry, high-pressure polar regions with little precipitations. This air blows as wind toward lower latitudes (again, westward), picks up moisture as it warms, and drops it as rain as it rises once again at about 60° north and south, watering the dense cold forests of Skandia, Kurukshetra, and Fourier's Land. This air then flows back to the Poles in the upper atmosphere. Between these two systems, or cells, a third one is pushed as a cog between the other two, with air falling at 30° and blowing toward 60°. As these winds blow toward higher latitudes, rather than lower, they are deflected eastward rather than westward. Other regions of high precipitation are created on the windward side of continents, where the air loses the moisture gathered from the ocean, especially on mountain ranges where air must rise and cool: for example, on Ninkasi Land on the western coast of Dumuzi, or east of the Yushan-Ninhursag ranges. On the leeward side of mountain ranges, where dry air rolls down from the summit, very little rain falls, producing a "shadow desert", such as the Nergal region west of the Ninurta Mountains. With seasons, dry land changes temperature more quickly than the ocean; thus, it's colder in winter, and hotter in summer. This means the interior of continents receives some rain in summer (low pressure, wind from the sea), and next to none in winter (high pressure, wind from land). In the interior of North and South Inanna as well as Dumuzi, the winter high-pressure produces continental cold waves. On tropical coasts of large continents, such as in New Deccan, northern Enlil, or the Damu Land in Inanna, this generates monsoons, in which wet air is drawn from the ocean producing violent rains in summer. Ocean currents are largely driven by prevailing winds, forming ocean gyres separated by the continents. The great gyre of the Southern Abzu Oceans, in particular, is known for the abundance of floating reefs. Warm currents (flowing toward the Poles) and cold currents (flowing toward the Equator) redistribute heat, for example making the Ninkasi Land in Dumuzi warmer than Zanji in North Inanna, which lies at the same latitude, while at the same time making the region of Breath of Dawn in Enlil colder than the Damu Land. Warm currents also increase precipitations on adjacent coasts, such as the thin strip of forest around Djenne in southwest Dumuzi, or the Rahab coast in eastern North Inanna. [...] On Earth, seasons were produced primarily by the tilt of its axis of rotation [...] The rotation axis of Ea is much more vertical, and seasons are driven instead by its orbital eccentricity, namely the fact that it's much closer to Utu in summer than in winter. Unlike those of Earth, seasons on Ea happen at the same time at all latitudes. Of course the Poles remain much colder than the Equator in any season, all the more since they receive little light all year round, whereas on Earth they enjoyed sunlight every summer. – The World We Live In: Ean Planetology for Primary Schools (3rd edition), Ministry of Education, Olduvai, 299 AL
Tropical pluvial climate: warm and wet all year round, winter above freezing. Tropical seasonal climate: warm all year round, winter above freezing; seasonal rainfalls. Desert climate: very little rain all year round, regardless of temperature. Temperate climate: temperature changes above and below freezing, abundant rain. Continental climate: temperature changes above and below freezing, scarce rain. Polar/alpine climate: temperature below freezing all year round, on extreme winter cold inhibits all vegetation. Note that the permanent ice cover is relatively small, despite the somewhat high average coverage given in the table of surface features. Since summer warming occurs even even at high latitude, only a small portion of ice never melts, despite its abundance for most of the year. And with that out of the way, let's move on to life...

Also - I honestly have never read it (I know, I know) so I really have no idea how many references I'm going to miss. But given Zanji's whole deal and the crown forcing her to obey Viv I mean it's not not a setup for an incredibly esoteric riff on Journey to the West, so far?
Just, you know, instead of delivering holy texts they're going to punch the empress of heaven in the face.

I’m watching Ming Dynasty again, and I hate the male lead so much. So much. He’s arrogant and cruel and manipulative and smarmy and maybe that’s the point? No one in this show is looking good as a human being except maaaaaybe Ruowei, who haas already had her character arc apparently and has learned to let go of her anger, maaaaybe Xu Bin, whose greatest flaw so far is the same as Zhu Yilong’s character in Minglan, that in order to keep the peace, he won’t fight hard enough to keep his love. And I respect someone who will give up their personal wish in order to keep thousands of others safe, so I rather like Xu Bin. Everyone else is a piece of shit.
But Zhu Zanji is the most stomach-turningly irritating of them. I want to punch him in the face every time he shows up. I would stop watching even though I made it to the halfway point, he gets on my nerves that much. But this is based on history and his character dies relatively young, so the thought of him finally kicking the bucket is keeping me going.

While I was finishing up my Library Escape picture I was thinking about other concept idea's I could draw for my Fanfiction. One of those ideas was about Link's Uncle and what happened to his body after you leave him in the game. Link's Uncle is a member of the Knights of Hyrule an elite order of Knight's who have appeared in other Zelda Games like Ocarina of Time, The Oracle series and Four Swords Adventures to name a few. And In Ataru Cagiva's Manga (Where the Name Zanji comes from) He's was the Head Trainer of solders of Hyrule. meaning he was well known figure in the Hylian military like a veteran of sorts. so my Idea so far for this scene is that after Link and Zelda's escape a guard will inform the King and Aghanim that the Princess was abducted. The King will order an Immediate lockdown of Hyrule Castle and Town and that the surrounding villages and country side be searched to find her. then while investigating the Castle they find the bodies of Zanji and Hylian Guard along with his comrade. They ask him what happened that night and who killed the guard and Zanji. the Man will explain that it all happened so fast and he's not really sure but that he remembers seeing a boy in green wearing the coat with the crest of the Knights of Hyrule attack him and his comrade. after further investigation they find out that the boy was possibly Link Zanji's Nephew. And that Link had spent some time with Princess Zelda during the festival. Aghanim Knowing that he Killed Zanji tells the King that Link was the one who killed the his Uncle and the Guard before he kidnapped the Princess. and that Zanji was trying to Protect the Princess from his evil nephew. The King will place an reward for the capture of Link. And that because of Zanji's Attempt at saving the Princess that He will be buried in Hyrule Cathedral along side the Nobility.
And That's what I've got so far on this idea let me know what you thing

The Ornclan had drugged her, chained her, sold her to the Pride for dissection, and here she was trying to solve their problems. But, hell, she couldn't just let Zanji kill anyone she didn't like. Soon there'd be no one left.

A quiet time
I headcannon that if Zeke and Hanji were’nt enemies they’d at least be friends. They’re also low key a crack ship to me, but there’s no content for them so I’m posting this even tho I’m not best or most experience writer. Levihan will always be my main tho.
Prompt: Au Hanji was born and raised in Marley. She tends a bar in a Marley ghetto.
Hanji was serving her last few customers for the night. As time flowed closer to the end of her shift, three men still lingered at the bar. She noticed they walked in together, but the blonde man decided to sit at the opposite end of the bar away from his companions. After about an hour of serving them, their condescending attitudes and ignorance made her take an extra long bathroom break.
They cursed her when she came back, and she was tempted to break the glass she held across their skulls. However, her manager gave her a stern look that pacified her. Eventually, her manager ended his shift and left the task of closing the bar to her. She annoyed she’d have to serve the remaining rude costumers on her own and hoped to drown them out as much as she could.
She was happy for a distraction when the blonde man sitting at the other end of the bar waved her over to order another scotch. But as she turned around to make his drink the comments from the other two men did not fall on death ears.
“Eldian bitch, a good sucker punch should teach her not to keep her superiors waiting.”
The other man drunk about half his glass of whiskey before even responding, “She’s irrelevant Gross. We’re celebrating right now, we can throw her to the dogs later.”
“What’s more celebratory than watching a sub-human whore get what she deserves?!” He barked out with a huge laugh.
Hanji quietly served the Scotch to the man sitting at the end of the bar. She wasn’t aware the anger on her face was obvious, until he commented on it.
“You should just ignore them, they’d harass you even more if they saw your anger.”
It confused her, wasn’t he on their side? Shouting from the other side of the bar broke her train of thought.
“Damn you, slow wench, hurry up and bring us more Whiskey woman!” The Sergeant shouted
Hanji took the stranger’s advice to heart. She swallowed her pride and served the two men until they were drunk and stumbling their way out the door.
“Heyy Zeke, we are- we’re heading back to base, your comin’ with us?” The smaller man slurred while dragging his bigger friend around his shoulder.
The blonde man waved them off without turning around, “I’ll catch up with you two later.”
Hanji let out a sigh of relief once they left the bar. It was thirty minutes past the end of her shift and the bar needed to be closed. It slightly irritated her that the blonde man still sat in his seat smoking a cigarette.
“No smoking allowed in here.”
He chuckled in response, “Do you really care enough to stop me?”
“No, but I do need to close this bar, so if you could leave my night would be a bit better.”
He only inhaled another hit from his cigarette in response. Then finished his glass of scotch. Hanji quietly collected the glass and began cleaning it.
“You live in this ghetto right?”
Hanji was reluctant to actually respond to his question,”Sure”.
She wondered if him and his companions would come back to the bar sober, just to terrorize her.
“Then you probably know who that man was.”
Hanji rolled her eyes and began wiping tables. “Sergeant Major Gross, overseer of the Liberio Ghetto. I’m familiar with him and his...work.”
“Then why get angry at his comments. You know the consequences if you step out of line. Besides, You’ve probably been treated way worst by an even lower class Marleyan.” He calmly chastised.
Hanji unknowingly crushed the glass in the palm of her hand, “They degrade us, use us, and then say we are the demons. But I’d rather kiss a titan’s ass than sleep next to any of those bastards. Maybe if we’d take more time researching the Titans instead of weaponizing them, things would be better.”
Zeke had moved in front of the rambling woman and softly grabbed her bloody hand to pick out the shards of glass embedded in them. “You remind me of a man I admired. He would’ve definitely like you.”
Hanji didn’t meet his eyes and only stared at her bloody hand instead,” I wish I could say the same, but I’m not fond of the company you keep.”
Zeke only glanced at the woman before wrapping a small towel around her hand. “They’re not my company to keep.” He sighed,”I wanted a quiet time in an area I knew no one would recognize me, but I ran into them. They followed me and there wasn’t much I could do about it.”
Hanji scoffed, “Having a defeatist attitude is unattractive. You can always get something you want if you have the will to go after it.”
Zeke finished bandaging the woman’s hand, but didn’t let go of it. He met her gaze with a sarcastic smile. “What is it you want the most?”
“Freedom.” She said with no hesitation.
He chuckled and casually lit another cigarette. “They’ll never give you that.”
Hanji took the time to actually observe the man sitting in front of her. He was absurdly handsome with a good build. His smirks and smiles didn’t seem to reach his eyes. As a matter of fact, his eyes seemed dead. As if his affable demeanor is hiding a much crueler, angrier side to him.
Hanji looked away and began setting all the chairs upside down on the tables. “Maybe if we were the monsters they say we are, my people wouldn’t be abused as much.” The woman pondered to herself.
“Monsters? Demons?,” he laughed, “Eldians are cursed. I pity them. They’re just unlucky people.”
Hanji collected the last of her belongings and Zeke followed her out of the small bar. It almost stung when the cool air hit her skin. It was the middle of the night and most of the characters roaming the streets at this time were unsavory. She began to quickly walk towards the direction of her apartment building when she noticed the blonde man was still beside her.
“Why are you following me?”
He lightly scratched at his beard and then gave her a lopsided smile,” it wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of me to let a beautiful woman like yourself walk home alone.”
“I’ve done it many times before. Besides, I’m more worried about you knowing where I live.” She sighed
“Oh yeah, and why is that?” He inquired as he smoked one more hit from his cigarette before putting it out.
“I may not know a famous face, but I do recognize a famous name. Isn’t that right War-chief Zeke Yeagar.”
“Don’t judge a book by its title. You don’t know me.” He argued with apathy
Hanji stared at him thoughtfully for a second, before giving an answer,” Maybe not, but I know what you fight for.”
Zeke stopped at this, and grabbed her upper arm to stop her,”Do you?”he growled
Hanji met his glare with her own stubborn gaze. There was a slight edge to his demeanor. She felt he wouldn’t let her get away with breathing another contemptuous comment his way.
‘For most of the night he seemed indifferent towards most things. Is this a small glimpse of who he is on the battlefield?’
She snatched her arm away from him and instead made her way to her front door. “This is my place. Thanks for the walk, but you can leave now.”
Instead of leaving he walked towards her and stopped only a few inches away from her face. “I’m going to visit you at your bar tomorrow and the day after that. Whenever I have the time I’ll come by.” He firmly stated
Hanji was shocked. They obviously didn’t get along. And receiving daily visits from a war chief would definitely raise questions out of her peers.
“Wha- What for? We have very different values. But...I’ll argue with you anytime, anyplace,”Hanji declared with a smile laced with uncertainty
“I like you. And since I keep such terrible company. I suppose it’s time I find someone good to hang around.” Zeke sighed
Hanji narrowed her eyes in response. Any type of relationship between him and herself couldn’t result in anything good. “You’re just trying to get me killed.” She concluded as she opened her building door.
She closed the heavy door behind her, before he could give her another response. She made her way to her room and fell into her bed in exhaustion. Hanji turned her head to check the time, but instead the window caught her attention. She saw Zeke still standing there, when she peeked out of it. Her movement must’ve caught his attention, because he turned to look back at her.
A smirk grew on his face before he winked at her. She closed her curtains and laid back in bed. Any aggression she still had for him would have to be handled tomorrow.
