All social constructs might need deconstruction...
For the #WIPsnips, even if the word may disappear here with editing...
Complicated conversation about Ronan's future, his autism diagnosis, discrimination he might get because of that in The Nation versus his chances in her 'outlaw' village, and whatever it means to be in a relationship...

The funny thing about the whole 'mental load' in marriage discussion is that carrying the mental load of a family is a managerial role, and needs and employs leadership skills.
Unlike the bossy 'submit because of my sex and obey me thing', which is just sad selfishness.

For #DecemberWorldbuilders
Ronan has a distant relationship with his family even while living with them. He's a low-ranked Nation boy and people are being weird about his autism diagnosis too. Pyra on the other hand always had a very close family and community, which is a shock for him.
#DecemberWorldbuilders, our next questions about families asks about your characters specifically. Today's is for the MC, but you can pick any character. Be aware tomorrow's will ask about a villain, so choose who you want to answer for wisely! What is your MC's relationship with their family like?

I don't see why 'performative reading' would ever be a problem, except maybe when you're reading extreme hate propaganda or so.
'Performative non-reading' on the other hand...

Nationers get chipped at age 12 with an Ancom-chip (contraceptive implant) and only married couples where the woman is over 23 can be cleared to have them removed. Non-ranked men and some Epsilons as well as non-Wives don't get to procreate.
(outlaws can remove it too tho)
Good day, #DecemberWorldbuilders! How are reproductive rights and laws handled in your world? Remember, the ancient Romans had silphium which would prevent pregnancy. This is not too high-tech of a concept for 'low-tech' worlds (though perhaps not something that comes up).

For the #DecemberWorldbuilders
Nationers are nuclear family-minded, and a new family is a new unit that's seperate from the older generations, everything is very atomic.
Ghost Town outlaws live in much closer communities even when they are partnered, they originate in found family groups anyway...
Hey there, #DecemberWorldbuilders! This week I'll ask you questions related to FAMILIES. Feel free to put it in the context of any characters you've made, or how your societies in general work. Today's Q: How do family units in general work? Are they generational homes? Who moves after marriage?

For #MythDecember
For being moderns of the 27th century Nationers are quite superstitious about female 'Ghost Town' outlaws. It's believed that they are dangerous witches who have weird magic that is used to feed men who come to close to their village to the wilderness panthers...
Today we’re gonna focus on something else

Are there any superstitions or widely held beliefs in your setting that are actually not based on anything? Or at least not anything of consequence.

Anything that is believed to be true, but actually not.

Radiohead hasn't played 'creep' yet since their reunion... They seem to play 'let down' at every concert now on the other hand...

“When I was ten, I read fairytales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - CS Lewis

pyra doesn't like alcohol, and finds grown-ups silly.
(There's some cultural confusion between Nationers and the Ghost Town 'outlaws' too, even in a place that historically connected both)

For the #WIPSnips, from near the end of P&R
Donnie's teenage innuendos hit a wall with Ronan here, whose relationship with Pyra (with whom he's been travelling to strange places far outside The Nation) is both more serious and more innocent than typical boys in The Nation usually dream about.

A Saturday #Snippetshare

Ronan and Pyra get back eventually, only a bit later than planned. Well, they hadn't planned in making a trip with the aeroplane to begin with, his poor mother didn't even know where he was...

Not that I don't like Pink Floyd and The Doors, but I have a lot of questions here...

First question: what year is it?
December 6, 2025 at 6:20 PM
For the #DecemberWorldbuilders and this one is a bit dark: in the time of ANOD men and women in The Nation live in a system that is not just symbiotic but probably can be called parasitic too... (Not that the symbiosis between the layers of the male hierarchy is much healthier)
Howdy, #DecemberWorldbuilders! What are some symbiotic or parasitic relationships that occur in nature in your world? Feel free to interpret this one broadly and talk about a character with a parasitic personality, if you prefer😁 Don't worry, I'm not grading you on how much biology is in your world!

That tiktok 'Unalive' language and all the sort of censorship of banal words in screenshots is very creepy actually if you think of it.

For #MythDecember
Ronan hates Manfred and everything he stood for, and has no interest in Manfred day except for the day off...
He is more ambivalent about Christmas, not all of his family members are so friendly (especially not grandma) and it creates a lot of stress and commotion.
Here is day 3

Today we ask a more character driven question.

How does your Mc (or any oc) feel about the holidays and which is the most important to them?

Do they celebrate anything in particular, or feel disrupted by the holidays?
