Corwin needs a Bacon Book of his very own: So You've Just Married Your Child's Parent's Spouse.... "The first thing to know is that you're getting into a lot of concepts that Standard English doesn't actually have terms for. Like 'my daughter's/son's mother's/father's husband/wife.' Fortunately, we can borrow loan-words from other less-hidebound languages for this. To start with, getting rid of gender-specific nouns helps cut down on terminology proliferation, not to mention those embarrassing incidents when dealing with individuals whose personal or species sexuality does not fit into the 'standard' dual-sex human norm."
Also: Evil!Anthy is delightfully, cheerfully, unapolgetically but still totally lovably evil. "Fee structure" indeed!

Heads up, people. At 2AM today, Gryphon posted a teaser with the following title and first line: Quote:"SOON: S5DS04 Familiar Spirits"
And by "soon" I mean, like, late tomorrow or sometime Thursday.

Notification courtesy of Matrix Dragon. It's out:
In the next installment of Symphony No. 5's Dìqiú Suite: Utena, Anthy, Corwin, their daughter, and her dragon companion are spending the spring in Dìqiú, which means they'll be on hand as an important date on the calendar arrives. Travel, adventure, and a few surprises await their young family in the suite's Fourth Movement, Familiar Spirits. (Audio edition coming soon.) 2014/05/29

Yeah. I've read it. Mostly good.
The ice-dodging scene made me go "WTF, Hutchins?" though.
Three relative amateurs in a small open boat. Only one of them has any experience, and he's been away from it for several years.
Not insurmountable. Especially with the freakin' Avatar riding escort. I'd raise an eyebrow, but otherwise not look askance.
Narrow channel strewn with icebergs. Navigating it is the whole -point- of the excercise. Requires a good sense of timing, an understanding of how the boat responds to the helm and the wind, and a good set of eyes on lookout. A bit of strain, but these are skilled, detail-oriented people, who race starships through cinematic-level asteroid belts. I'm not gonna quibble too much here.
Arctic water conditions. Air temps probably below freezing, water temps close to the same. This is where I start to get wary. Sure, it's the Southern Water Tribe's antarctic home, but still, it's freakin' -cold-. Anyone going in the water that doesn't get rescued, like, IMMEDIATELY, is -dead-. Dee Eee Aye Dee dead.
And now we add the heavily-variable-due-to-narrow-twisty-channel winds. 25 knot winds.
25-knot winds under otherwise -ideal- conditions, a lot of very experienced sailors I know simply -will not leave the dock-. Because it's -brutal-. On mind and body. You need to be on top of everything every single second, react with nigh-superhuman strength and reflexes, and know -exactly- what to do when. Anthy and Utena certainly have at least 1.75 out of three, there... but anything less than 3 out of 3 is very likely to result in a wrecked boat and a dead crew.
Sorry, Ben, I'mma gonna have to call it on this one.

Anthy is a Svartelf. Corwin is a Norse God. And Utena... Well, she's Utena. Kinda like how Batman is The Goddamn Batman.

As I said on the EPU forums: If it were anyone other than EPU protagonists, I would call it "actively suicidal", of the Darwin Award variety.

No updates qua updates in the last month, but some [EDIT: more] teasers for Challenging the Cold Silence: The Inside Story of Project Phoenix Flight, and a significant reorganization, splitting off Symphony of the Sword No. 5 as The Order of the Rose: A Duelist Opera, and giving the Dìqiú Suite for Trinity and Avatar its own subpage (linked therefrom, but sorted as part of The Legacy of Korra).

Gryphon, from the initial post of the thread "A Few Thoughts on Girls und Panzer":
"It might be my favorite thing about the UF universe: That it's the kind of place where Girls und Panzer, Full Metal Panic!, and K-On! not only can all happen, but are probably all happening at the same school. "
EDITED for clarity, now that I have clarity to work with.
