Welcome to my Bluesky Account!
You may not know me so let me fill you in. I am from a planet called Hylas, I am over 4,000 years old, I used to have a Twitter, now X, account but have moved to Bluesky. I may bring some of my old tweets here, whether as screenshots or typed out, I'm not sure yet. -

Mistakenly Deleted Post: Despite our monarchies, Hylan society was deeply egalitarian. Even kings were expected to answer to their people and warriors. King Aramon the Arrogant learned this harshly when one of his guards, Vaedor, later Regent of Kiatia and Protector of the Unified Realms, slew him-

Extra Post: I generally limit myself to one post per day, save for occasional exceptions. I see others put out dozens a day. I respect their endurance, but between my duties and the effort of understanding humanity, I have neither the time nor the inclination

The first Morph I met was the dual-sighted one I have spoken of before. She called herself a “fox girl.” Later, I met an “iguana girl.” My inquiries revealed why their kind keeps to the shadows. They have seen what humans do to creatures they deem lesser. They will not suffer the same fate. They-

When I first took control of my host, humans called it “morphing.” I thought the word crude, but fitting. Only later did I learn that a “Morph” is one who becomes a single animal. I once dismissed this as some human myth. Then I met one...

In elder days, Hylan warriors greeted one another with the right fist upon the heart. It was an old vow without words: the fist for strength, the heart for those whom strength must guard. So spoke the ancient way, power was not one’s own, but held in service to the people.

The Non-Interference Act exists for a simple reason: civilizations that have not yet reached the stars deserve to choose their own path. No interstellar power may exploit, manipulate, or force its way into their development. Humanity is protected by this law. What they become must be their choice

Further excavation of the Precursor structures has yielded little. Most are weathered beyond interpretation. A preserved data cache on what was once a major Precursor world could change everything. If such a cache exists, finding it could lead to the archaeological discovery of the century

Humans hold an unusual place in interstellar law. Earth, sometimes referred to as Terra, and the Sol System are recognized as an independent sphere, yet humanity has no interstellar capabilities and no seat among the quadrant's other powers. They are sovereign. Not isolated by law, but simply not-

Va-Vo-Na remains one of the great mysteries of explored space. Its people live on the frontier, far from most known interstellar powers. I once encountered a Va-Vo-Nan who seemed to understand my thoughts without a word being spoken. I suspect some form of telepathy, but whether all Va-Vo-Nans-

I have spoken before of the dual-sighted one, what humans call heterochromia. She taught me to see Hylan and Terran not as opposing worlds, but as one shared future. It seems fitting that the dual-sighted would teach one how to become dual-worlded.

Every Hylan child learns the constellations above Hylas. I still catch myself looking for them in Earth's night sky, knowing they cannot be there. Some habits survive even 4,000 years.

Elpian, New Hylan, and Luvair researchers now agree that the geometric structures discovered on Beacon, Vian Nova, and Thinda share the same origin. We may be looking at the remains of a civilization older than any we know. For now, they are simply being called the Precursors. It is intriguing

Many humans have asked me why I remain on Earth. The answer is simple, there is currently no way to separate me from my human host. Removing us would mean taking a citizen of a sovereign human nation, violating interstellar law and the Non-Interference Act. But I stay by choice as well. -

Frontier researchers on the Elpian colony of Beacon and the New Hylan colony of Vian Nova have discovered geometric structures nearly identical to the ones on Thinda despite being separated by hundreds of light-years. If these discoveries are truly connected, then we may be looking at evidence of a-

Luvair researchers on Thinda have identified what appears to be a massive geometric structure beneath untouched forests, possibly older than the Luvairs themselves. If artificial, it may help explain a long-standing mystery: why Thinda's environment is nearly perfect for all known sapient species,-

The earliest Hylan myths spoke of beings within Heracles known as the "Sky People." They were said to have guided the first civilizations of Hylas and helped found Kiatia, one of our ancient Great Cities. The term "Hylan" itself did not emerge until the age of Xumos

I have previously mentioned that Hylas, my homeworld, was a moon rather than a lone planet. It was never truly alone. It orbits the gas giant Heracles, whose storms and rings dominated our heavens. Long before Xumos, early Hylans believed Heracles was a cosmic guardian watching over the moon to-

I once knew someone who saw the world differently, literally. One brown eye, one blue. Humans call it heterochromia. On Hylas, we would have called it "dual sight." I think it suits her.

During my time in the Last War, Hylans held barely half of Hylas and had never left it. Now we span multiple star systems from New Hylas, a middle power in the known galaxy. I went from fighting for one world, then woke to an age of many. Some days, I still feel like I don’t belong in this time

Hylan legend says Xumos, the Hylan god of honor, war, and the afterlife, first united the kingdoms of Aseth, Yualan, Sereth, Lirna, and the mighty Kiatia to resist the Kofa about 5,600 years ago. At one point we held only Aseth and Kiatia, yet pushed the Kofa north to the second Hylan Great City,-

During the Last War, our engineers built a generation ship so Hylans might survive. The Refugee carried 3,500 Hylans for over 1,000 years. Life was fragile, rationed food, recycled air, hydroponics, and crude power cores. Children were born who never saw Hylas. It wasn’t just a ship. It was survival

The planet now called Kiga was first known to Hylans as Cretraam Prime. Its current name comes from its native people, the Kigans. "New Hylas" technically refers to the Hylan-built underground cities and tunnels, while the planet itself is named Kiga
