PL Season 3 – Kolchais

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (S3: Kolchais, Season Finale)

    We’ve come to the end of Kolchais’ season. It’s in many ways it’s been a quieter time than Lefeng and Tsouchm had, but I think that fits the wise-one. When we return to Planting Life it will be the Spinner’s turn to take center stage. But first, season 2.5 of Mighty Hero Force Epsilon starts…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (S3: Kolchais, E8)

Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence, autistic meltdown The next morning, the Spinner returned to help with the building. When ey…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (S3: Kolchais, E7)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence, autistic meltdown They spent the afternoon singing and learning each other’s songs. There was no way to know what songs they would sing in the future. Family songs were always built around the family trade — the rhythm and pace of the work. But for now they had…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (S3: Kolchais, E6)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence, autistic meltdown Like most mornings, Kolchais woke slowly. Eir thoughts moved sluggishly, fighting their way through a haze of pain. Ey reached out, confused, and felt a warm spot next to em. Lefeng. Always up and active as soon as possible. Kolchais rolled over and buried eir head…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (S3: Kolchais, E5)

    Rough edits on this one bc life stuff. I don’t think there’s any content notes on this one, but may have missed something. Sorry. Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence, autistic meltdown For the rest of the day, they spoke quietly and checked on the Spinner often. Ey was unchanged when they gathered for…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E4)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence, autistic meltdown Kolchais squatted with the Silent Spinner and watched the market — or tried to. The stalls on either side blocked eir view. Ey could see only a small part of the market. Even so, there were things to look at. The Western market was largely unfamiliar.…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, Interlude: Kyawtchais)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism, violence It was late afternoon when the Short-One sought out Kyawtchais. Kyawtchais was starting to think that Short-One might also be Wise-One, Seeing-One. With a Wise-One, a Guarding-One, and a Silent, Caring-One as parents, the trial family was stronger than ey had been told. Small, but thick yarn poorly…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E3: The Worries)

    This one’s a bit rougher than I prefer. Figured that getting back in routine and getting it out was more important that getting it fully polished. Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism The next few days passed quickly. The charcoal family arrived to collect the ruins of the Colorwork Weaver’s home. Chotaikytsai watched them go…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E2: the Spinner)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism The sun on eir face woke Kolchais. Ey blinked a few times, eyes trying to adjust to the brightness. The warmth was soaking through em, leaving eir limbs feeling loose and relaxed for once. Not wanting to lose the feeling, Kolchais didn’t move. Instead, ey reviewed eir memories of…

  • Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E1: the Fog)

    Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism Kolchais trudged through the market, doing eir best to ignore the thudding pain accompanying each step, each breath. Ey couldn’t take day work like Lefeng and Tsouchm, could barely help clear the debris and prepare the ground to build their new home. But ey could do this. Little as…
