thank youuuuuu
was really concerned about this one, so i'm relieved to hear people are enjoying it
curious if there was anything in particular you liked, or whether it was just good vibes overall

dude i was ASTOUNDED how strong the preference for outward-swirling spirals was
some other insights are fun (clickers > snaps, flood sublims slightly preferred) but literally like 98% of people preferred outwards swirling spirals
genuinely curious why this could be

"press play and obey" goes hard ngl
coming home, frazzled from a long workday, only to see a remote sitting conspicuously out before your TV
and immediately you know what to do
sitting down, letting the couch take your weight away, and letting your eyes fixate on the screen
press play and obey~

What's that, puppy? You've been having funny dreams again?
Dreams about being a *person*?
Oh, honey. Don't worry. Come here~
That's right. Chin in my palm, head in my hands, ears brushing down as we pull your favorite visor tightly over your eyes.
Let's make sure you get a deep, dreamless sleep~

so for now, i think it's in-character to keep it as "canidly", but "caniformly" is objectively more biologically accurate and the fact that u spotted that is insane
so glad i'm not the only person who falls way too deep down these rabbit holes dfhjgk

red pandas are indeed caniforms, but not canids. that's why they're in this outside spectator position, rather than in the thick of canid politics. however, they're definitely jealous of those on the inside. and imo Clove THINKS of himself as canid

damn, VERY good finds
can't believe i autocorrected the name of my own character adhfgjskdfg
also good catch on Nyldryth's gender, that was up in the air while i was writing and apparently i never fully decided
typos fixed on live and credit added accordingly
thank u so very much ^w^

genuinely the only good thing about math being correlated with intellect is that you can get zonked to be real dumb and then "prove" it by forgetting what 2 + 2 equals
u have brough joy and indulgence and self-actualization to thousands and continue to do so every day
be proud of yourself ^w^

being good at math !== intellect
i've known mathematicians who did some INCREDIBLY dumb shit. stuff you'd look at a teenager and be like "c'mon, dude"
human capacity and intellect is an unbelievably rich spectrum and how good you can move the funny numbers around is a very small slice of it

the fact that u understood this stuff means ur a very smart cat already
i wont hear any slander of awesome clever felines in my classroom >:{
that said im very happy to dispense fun tricks
did u know that the lorentz transformation of special relativity is just a hyperbolic rotation in disguise

never memorized a single trig identity after i realized that connection
everything is geometry! cross products are quaternions in disguise! fourier transforms are a change of basis on continuous vectors! Big Math doesn't want u to know this
