Drama... and Imshee (Patreon)

Man, this Santino Hassell drama is getting deep.  Is he a he or a she? Did he or did he not claim to have liver cancer? Is the author threatening people?  Well, I saw some veiled threats, so that's sort of not a question in my mind.  But this is really just one more explosion of the catfishing versus pen name drama.  

I can promise you guys that I don't catfish.  Hell, I can't keep up with my real life (seriously, I just found a lab bill I should have paid like a month and a half ago tucked into my checkbook).  If I started making up shit, I would get tangled in my own lies in seconds.  Seconds flat.  That and I've met half the Sentinel fandom at Moonridge, so faking it at this point feels a little like closing the barn door after all the horses went out for drinks and shrimp at the lakeside.

Sadly, I have a better memory for my worlds than myself.  One of the ways I build my aliens is to think about how their biology works before I start trying to settle on a culture that matches that biology.  If you have questions about the Imshee, I'm betting I already have answers because I know something about how these weird little buggers evolved.  So, any questions?

Ronny

The most fundamental question of course. How do they procreate? How are the children nourished?

That's hard to answer because in the traditional sense, they don't. In another sense, they are far more prolific than any species we've seen so far. The insect/dog creature is not the Imshee. It is, for the lack of any better way of explaining it, the steed for the rider.

They can use photosynthesis or absorb nutrients directly. They don't have actual digestive systems.

Ronny

The Imshee are parasites?

Lyn Gala
>>10672216

I think commensalism might be closer, although biologists might argue for a parasitic description

Courtland

They are prolific right? So how long do they live?

Lyn Gala
>>10672778

Technically, they could live forever, but the personality would be unlike to survive more than a few thousand years

Is the fidgeting down to the "mount", the "rider", or a result of the combination of the two? Is the Imshee communicating through the tapping?

Lyn Gala
>>10673631

It’s the mount getting overwhelmed with too many Imshee thinking about too many different ideas at once

CappaRed

Are the mounts sentient? Is it a case of symbiosis or more like a forced enslavement by the Imshee?

Lyn Gala

I think the mount would be less intelligent than Duke. So it will have thoughts, but if it’s fed and safe, it’s good. They evolved together, so I don’t think either would consider life without the other complete

Sadie

Do the Imshee have anything close to the sub/dom or paltia/chilta relationship? Or would it be a completely foreign concept?

Lyn Gala
>>10686496

They absolutely do not understand those concepts at all. They don't even "get" the concept of a stable personality.

How are imshee more touchy than Rownt? I think it was book one or maybe the prelude that said that statement

Lyn Gala

I think they war against themselves a LOT. They are a much quicker species. I think they would be equally quick to war against the Anla, and they have probably run afoul of some of the older species like the Cy. The Rownt are the odd ones out here because their slow nature and their willingness to call themselves the younger and less developed species makes the Imshee feel confident that they don't have to go to war against the Rownt to get the upper hand.

They are a fast moving species and the second another species or ship acts like it knows more or has gotten the better of the Imshee, they are going to leap into action to regain the upper hand.
