Question is, just how much of a stigma does unsanctioned breeding carry? Is it just frowned upon, is it illegal? If it's illegal, how severe is it considered? Jaywalking-illegal or embezzlement-illegal? I guess it depends on just how much ecological pressure the Avali are under. I haven't seen any evidence that they're under any special pressure (they are post-scarcity, after all), so I'm inclined to think that unsanctioned breeding would be more like driving without a license.
Well. I had stated that it probably carried different punishment based on scarcity or the opposite of supplies. When well stocked, not gonna be as harshe. But when things are hard it can get bad.
Also, I'm not dead. Next episode is coming along... slowly. Not a lot of time to work on it over these past few weeks, and I've been kind of obsessing over the script. But it is coming.
I'm not an impatient person. Once you hit episode five (Wish you luck on that) I'll point some folks towards it so it can spread about a bit.
Why three to five you ask? Reverse backlog, if it's only one episode people forget about it and don't come back. Have three to five episodes and they'll have a nice simple and pleasant sitting in they'll remember and tell people about.

I'm quite well, thank you! Episode 3 is in progress. You can attribute its delay to Christmas break, the beginning of the semester and, most significantly,
Plus I'm lazy.
However, I think I'm satisfied with my current script. I'll be recording the first sections of dialogue today.

Want some help with writer's block? I know a writing exercise that works exceedingly well. Just, most people are afraid to try it. It turns writer's block into a muse. Literally, start writing anyways. Write down some random bland sentences. And then, extend them on. Lengthen them, make it a joke, make it rhyme, whatever. It's about fun. Soon enough. You won't even WANT to stop. I haven't had writer's block in four years thanks to this. Only utter exhaustion.

My problem wasn't actually not having anything written--I've had the episode scripted from beginning to end for weeks--it's that I wasn't satisfied with it. There are a bunch of important things in this episode I wanted to get just right, and that takes work. It's writer's block as a fear of inadequacy, thinking "I'm really not going to be able to do this justice right now, I'll try later." In the end, I just forced myself to prune it down into something workable, and tossed out one problematic element entirely (a section of dialogue in the Avali language). Now I have something I can record.

So. You're saying you're afraid to try it? ;]
I kid, I kid. It extends across all things including songs and music. It's not about writing what you wish to actually work on until you are ready and willing..
Here's a sneak peek:
Rhaomi: Oh rika, I’ve got a yippie with me on a combat mission!
Yellow: A “yippie?”
Rhaomi: Sound familiar? We borrowed it from English. It’s those sappy, bleeding hearts who whine and whine about animal rights and how everybody should just be friends, yip yip yip yip yip!
Yellow: So… to talk about people who want peaceful coexistence, you have to borrow a human word. And you choose a derogatory one.
Rhaomi: We do peaceful coexistence just fine.
Yellow: Oh yeah?
Rhaomi: Yeah! There haven’t been any wars on Avalon for a thousand years!
Yellow: So it’s the rest of the universe you don’t get along with.
Rhaomi: And why should we? It’s filled with monsters. Can you blame us for keeping to ourselves after first contact?
Yellow: Hmm… Can I blame you for failing to conquer thousand-year-old fears? Yes.
Rhaomi: Ah, what do you know, you’re one of those love and peace, trust everybody kinds who inevitably gets slaughtered without people like me to protect them.
Yellow: Ha! Ha ha, even! I laugh at the idea of you protecting me! First of all because you’re you, why would you stick up for me, and second because I’m a black belt and could probably kick your fluffy little butt!
Rhaomi: I’d like to see you try!
Yellow: Yeah? Wanna go?
Rhaomi: “Go?” Oh, right, a euphemism. Are you implying I’d soil myself?
Yellow: No, “go” as in “go at it!” You know, fight!
Rhaomi: Bring it on!
Yellow: Yeah?
Rhaomi: Yeah!
Yellow: Yeah?
Rhaomi: Yeah!
Both: ...
Yellow: Well, too bad. We’re literally worlds apart.
Rhaomi: …and it would be stupid to fight my only companion, no matter how obnoxious…
Yellow: …And my sensei would be furious if I started a fight over nothing.
Rhaomi: Truce?
Yellow: Truce.
Rhaomi: Good.
Yellow (whispering): I could totally kick his butt, though.
No, but he can infer that it's a person who has influence over Yellow. He understands it enough that he won't comment on it, most likely jumping to an incorrect conclusion that it refers to Yellow's boss, or maybe his girlfriend.
(Disclaimer: my sensei is not my girlfriend )
Edit: In fact, maybe I'll run with that and have Rhaomi tease Yellow about his sensei, assuming that it's a gibberish pet name like "honey bumpkin" or "my sweet baboo"
Ha! I made it! half an hour until Wednesday is over! A pox on failed render jobs!
Having escaped the clutches of the Miniknog, Yellow and Rhaomi prepare to launch their plans into motion to keep Big Ape from acquiring a worldkiller weapon. But a surprise meeting could have unexpected consequences for the pair, and the galaxy at large…
