Planting Life in a Dying City (S4: Kyawtchais, E9)
Season Content Notes: (internalized) ableism Dinner was a pleasant memory and Kyawtchais had used up all eir fiber. Ey was debating whether to return to the SilentSpinner compound or stay there for the night. Kolchais had made it clear several weeks ago that ey was welcome, but Kyawtchais was still feeling eir way. Especially with…

Planting Life in a Dying City (S4: Kyawtchais, Interlude: Lefeng)
Season content notes: (internalized) ableism The next day, Lefeng and the Spinner near-adult head out on the trail. Lefeng was surprised to find that ey had almost no knowledge of plant life. Ey was also completely uninterested in plant life until Lefeng connected it to animals — what different animals eat, use to make nests,…

Planting Life in a Dying City: Kyawtchais (S4, E8)
Season content notes: (internalized) ableism Kyatchais waited nervously outside the compound. Beside em was eir wise-parent, the leader of eir parents’ generation of the SilentSpinners. They had arrived early — rudely early, to much of the city. But they weren’t waiting for city-folk. They were waiting for farwalker Lefeng, who would be on eir morning…

Planting Life in a Dying City (S4; Kyawtchais, E7)
Content notes: internalized ableism Kyawtchais woke the next morning leaning against the compound wall with a blanket wrapped around em. Ey sat up cautiously and stretched. Eir mind had the dense settled feeling that told em it wasn’t worth trying to use voice-speech. Worse, some of the grey fog lingered, making eir thoughts slow and…

Planting Life in a Dying City (S4: Kyawtchais, E6)
Season content notes: internalized ableism Kyawtchais struggled to keep eir head up, eir feet moving. The street was quiet, not like the market areas and docks where the family-less lived. But from inside the compounds came the noises of forest birds, children playing, grandparents yelling… and over (Or under) it all the scrape-scrape-scrape of Kyawtchais’…

Planting Life in a Dying City (S4: Kyawtchais, E5)
The family had two projects that occupied their time: trying to find a trade and rebuilding the compound. Lefeng and Tsouchm continued with day work, alternating it with time spent helping build. Some of Kyawtchais’ family also came to offer help once in a while and even a few representatives from other families. All the…

Planting Life in a Dying City: Kyawtchais (S4, E4)
Content notes: internalized ableism That day set the pattern for the coming days. During the day they were back to work on the walls. On some days, the gruff-one and tall Lefeng stayed home, so the work went quicker. Kyawtchais thought ey could feel the family weaving itself together even as the walls rose around…

Planting Life in a Dying City: Kyawtchais (S4, E3)
In the evening, Kyawtchais joined the family at their hearth for dinner. As they ate, the small-one, once-weaver asked tall-Lefeng to tell a tale of the mountains, of how the tall-one killed the great cat whose skin made the small-one’s new cloak. Kyawtchais’ fingers started dancing at that. Ey had noticed the cloak, made of…

Planting Life in a Dying City: Kyawtchais (S4, E2)
Season notes: autistic shutdown, internalized ableism Kyawtchais would have liked to spend more time with Lefeng — ‘mud’ her hands shaped the name. One day ey would need to ask Lefeng how ey got such a name. It almost made ‘kyawtchais’ seem normal! Especially with Lefeng’s words for the deadfire — friend-at-night, guide, beautiful —…
