All birds and men are sure to die but songs may live forever
Just read this short story where when a person is born, their soul manifests as some kind of object that influences their personality and how they interact with the world, and which they could physically interact with. Such as:

a writer whose soul was a candle, and literally burning it at both ends gave her a lot of inspiration for her work at the cost of dying young

a person whose soul was a saltshaker, who was popular because of how they could liven up the blandest conversations and make the most plain things seem extraordinary

a person whose soul was a box of cigarettes and only felt alive when she smoked one of them

a person whose soul was a silver spoon, being effortlessly talented and desirable

Imagine daemons like in His Dark Materials, but as an inanimate object you have to protect/ration out at the cost of your life. I just found the idea fascinating and feel like it could make an interesting site premise

Fungi! Are! Actually! Really! Cool!
a mushroom walks into a bar.

the bartender says "we don't serve folk like you here"

the mushroom says "Aw why not? im a real fungi"


the bartender says "Space is tight, we don't have mushroom"

//there was this one book where space travellers were colonizing a planet.. BUUUUT because 1 of the passengers was somehow demi-god or mutated.. the ship ended up Light Jumping 900 years into the past... so by the time the colony got their supplies it was like 9 generations later.. and had no recollection of what Space travel was//

Are you talking about the the Pathfinder series by Orson Scott Card?
