"Why are you staring at your phone like that?" "It betrayed me." "Your phone?" "Yes. It autocorrected 'iconic' to 'ironic.'" "That's not betrayal." "It changed the entire tone, Leo.

"This may be the night that my dream might let me know, All The Stars Are Closer" - SZA

Max'inux was eighteen when she disappeared during a school field trip to Oceanworld; a marine park. Taken by a covert military-based organization called THALASSA, they used her to do the impossible: transfer a human consciousness to that of a captive orca. Now a "unique" blue-eyed female orca called Lunara, she swims under flourescent lights instead of stars; her world restricted by concrete, glass, and fake currents. THALASSA calls it species conservation. Education. Awe. Lunara still remembers having human hands, spoken language, high school classrooms, and choice while she is framed to park visitors as a unique orca that was "rescued from the wild under dangerous circumstances". Fractures begin to form within Oceanworld itself as not all staff agree with how Lunara is being handled. Among them is a marine biologist who clearly hears what most miss and a trainer who sees a person instead of a flagship asset. Park administrators speak of liability and optics while a close-bonded pod of orcas tries to keep one another from breaking from the stress of captivity. As her pod is eventually deliberately separated under the orders of an ex-marine who views Lunara as nothing more than a problem to be managed, she is forced into mechanical perfection and slowly begins to uncover THALASSA's true motives for her and the pod as she tries to reach the impossible goal of getting herself and the pod to the Pacific Ocean while hiding the full scope of her human awareness. Human-Origin confronts uncomfortable questions: What does captivity mean for intelligent marine mammals whose minds can rival our own? What is consent when the subject can't refuse? What are the ethics of trapping a functioning human mind inside a body designed for an entirely different world- then placing that body in a too-small tank for profit? Told through haunting first-person immersion; Human-Origin explores resilience, identity, and the moral cost of control over other sentient beings.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. - SHAKESPEARE "We don't know love like we should. We always talk about, 'I have unconditional love', unconditional love is... we dont even know it. Because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them. You're not interesting to talk to anymore, goodbye. But that's real love, that love that sometimes is difficult to have. That's that love. And that's a confidence builder" - LAURYN HILL Counsellor, "Describe Love?" "Its Loyal and Respectful" "Its Honest and Trustworthy"

So this ain't exactly a book but more of a discussion forum for different serials that I watch/ have watched and like on TV. There are going to be many serials, and anyone and everyone can comment on each chapter about whatever they want to talk about related to the serial: the plot, characters, cliff hangers, latest twists or happening, new couples, shipping for someone or any such updates.... One honest request to each of the readers and commentors. Please don't be mean or rude to fellow readers. Healthy discussions are most welcome since this is a forum meant for that but no fights and completely no kind of cyber bullying. I hate bullies. I for one have been a victim of mental and verbal bullying and its really bad. So please no bullying. Otherwise strict actions will be taken. Except for that critcise and comment on the serials all you want. Read on my lovelies...
