On Fluttering Wings [Taylor Hebert in MGLN]

You definately should convert to metric. It's great.

Merry Christmas and thank you for writing this. I'm looking forward to Fate arriving, I think she has advise from honest experience to share with Taylor.

The bottom of the skillet gets a thin coating of olive oil before being set on a burner at medium heat with a sensor spell set to chime when the oil hits 175.

...I meant 350. I swear. I'm not converting to metric.

Good thing Takamachi household uses kitchen appliances from Earth. Imagine how hard it would be to follow a recipe that specifies temperature in Celsiuses and Fahrenheits while using a thermometer with Al-Hazardian numerics instead of Arabic!
 
Very fluff. Niiice.

Edit : though metric would be nice. But Americans are heathens that way. No, seriously. The whole Fahrenheit system is based on slightly feverish woman's body temperature. Not nice. Or logical.

She used a sensor spell to check temperature, though? So she can program it to tell her in whatever metric she desires.

That was a fluffy scene, Stardust, and the description of the supermarkets on Midchilda are quite impressive. Guess we too shall achieve those in a few century? Presuming climate change doesn't kill us all.
 
I can't imagine Taylor trying to bake sweets under Nanoha's guardianship until she's at least 145% more confident. The long-time bakers are the bluntest critics, I've found.

I think so. It's a somewhat optimistic extrapolation off the idea that two things hold true -
1. Agricultural technology will eventually advance to the point that is possible to artifically create farming conditions for all conceivable types of food,
2. That as travel times decrease and places become more interconnected, food distribution will naturally consolidate towards the idea of (as depicted) centralized, consolidated, massive farm-and-market(-and-table) facilities which can be shopped at directly or distribute out both to neighborhood points (e.g. the corner store, which in this scenario can also request things from the parent market for you) and also online (e.g. grocery delivery service.)

Since Taylor is a Mover: 12+ the only thing that stops her from going right to the source is Taylor Hebert, but even if she didn't have her extreme Transference proficiency, Nanoha's house is within 10 minutes via Cardiche of a central market node and basically everyone on Mid has access to at least the smaller neighborhood shopping points.
 
I just don't was t to see anymore of Harry she comes across as a smart ass. My biggest fear was that she and Taylor somehow become buddies.


Taylor should go to any other gym but this one.
honestly I want Taylor to work her own shit out instead of being pushed into it by the sunshine crew.

Some times you just gotta gotta mope alone before you feel better.

Oh fuck the hell no.

For normal gloominess? Sure. For clinical passively suicidal depression?

That's how you end up with a corpse.

I'm not kidding. I've spent some time in that place myself. I'd made an active resolution not to commit suicide, but if left to my own devices I might very well have just... let myself die, through sheer apathy. Social contact is literally the only antidote to that particular poison. It doesn't even have to be positive social contact. Spite's actually even better at keeping you alive in that situation than love, because spite is easy to maintain even when you're at your lowest.

You do not leave a suicidal person alone.

Do. NOT.
 
I'm more inclined to trust the opinion of someone who's lived it than some guy who did an autopsy once.

Seriously, are you chalking up what might very well be a fringe case to everyone's experience?

No, he isn't. He's saying that there are other sides to the whole thing, and that PROFESSIONALS are the ones who should deal with this stuff head on.

EDIT: Well, if the depressed/suicidal person in question is actually willing to accept the help. It really does depend on them.
