Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham's own posts on drift compatibility and drifting
- Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic
- The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible
- Drift compatibility is potential, not fate
- Drift compatibility can be a choice
- Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility
- The drift requires trust
- Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others' moves
- That even includes multiplayer video games
- Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships
- A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts
- Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse
- Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by
- Pilots communicate through "headspace"
- Illustration of a conversation in headspace
- First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don't understand each others' minds very well yet
- The drift exposes pilots to each others' raw, unfiltered thoughts
- Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say
- The drift doesn't let you read your partner's mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he's calm and stable.
- Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation
- Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger
- Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble
- General information plus info on RABITs
- You can chase your partner's RABIT
- Another post confirming you can chase your partner's RABIT
- More RABIT info
- More general information
- Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting
- Partners' personalities can rub off on each other
- Neural overload doesn't hit you all at once; it accumulates
- The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it's a steep curve from fine to dead
- More info on solo piloting
- Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT

Despite what you may have heard Bruce Wayne is not, in fact, a furry.
He is, however, very opinionated.

“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.
Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.
These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”
from A Little Advice for Life taken from ‘Terry Pratchett: from birth to death, a writer.’

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.
Mind how you go.
Happy International Bat Appreciation Day! Often unfairly maligned, bats are an important part of diverse ecosystems worldwide. They eat harmful insects, pollinate plants- including rare nocturnal ones- and are generally just important little guys to have around. Thanks, bats! 🦇✨

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

- if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost
- take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle
- fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism
- now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning
casting these before getting out of bed like buff spells before a raid boss

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
it feels fake but your friends miss you sometimes
the reason you've been hanging out with your closest friends fairly regularly for the past 12+ years is because you have fun together
people who don't like you that much will not stay in your life for over a decade asking to hang out and inviting you to things and texting you

I was thinking "nah, why would they? not the right vibe" and was going to just assume the answer was no, but...
...I was very surprised to learn that in fact, they did. (close by, that is)
