#“and youd know?” -Jon

[i-like-books-and-women]

Welcome back to the bits of soup I deem good enough for the public:

Angel 100% thought Zach and Ruben were dating for a hot second. It would've been like somewhere in between after the talent show and before canon starts. But either way I think it went something like this.

Ruben: yeah so there's this guy

Zach: ooh guy?

Angel: oh do you guys have an open relationship?

Zach & Ruben: what-

Angel: aren't you dating?

Zach: i mean ruben's an amazing person but I'm straight-

Angel was then confused about this for the next like month. After this interaction he ran it by Jon and Jon was like "bro what planet do you live on?". Then after Zach and Ruben came out to Jon and Angel, Angel pulled Jon aside and was like "fuck you I knew it I was right".

Secondary thought. After Zach and Ruben got their shit together but before Jon and Angel knew (that's a time window of like 2 weeks right??? I don't remember lol) they like put together that something was going on and were trying to make the math math. Eventually Angel got to "they've gotta me a thing man no way they aren't" which was very "I've connected the dots. You didn't connect shit. I've connected them.)

i know you already talked a bit about mean!robb but what about the other stark men? do you think theyre ever mean? do you think youd have to ask them? or would you be able to push their buttons to get them to go to town in you? are they mean in different way?

i just want to know more about the starks being meanies in bed 😮‍💨

GOOODNIIIIIIIIIIGHT SAVANNAH. MEAN STARKS MEAN STARKS

okay, so, all the starks are inherently gentleman. it’s in their blood, and how they were raised. northmen don’t PLAY about their women. but, that’s not saying they can’t be mean.

cregan. i’m sweating.. okay. cregan can be “mean”, but i’m imagining a very specific type of mean. instead of punishing you, it’s more of him showing you what he really can do to you. remember when i said cregans pace in eating you out would be slower, but it would be really intense? i think it’s the same for fucking. when cregans being mean its very intense and overwhelming. like, crying into the pillow limbs shaking overwhelming. robb is very taunting when he’s mean, but cregan wouldn’t even say anything. just letting his body do the talking. however, if you could see him, you’d see the smile on his face (tee hee).

i don’t think you’d even necessarily have to ask cregan to be mean or rough. he’d see it as an attitude adjustment. oh… oh walk with me. if you’re being snappy all day, plain rude and disregarding everything he’s saying, he gives you a warning. he reminds you of his size after a particular snarky comment, backing you against the wall without even using his hands to push you. just pauses in his tracks, looks at you, sees you unwavering, and stalks toward you without word. then, if it continues, he’ll just push you towards your chambers silently with a hand on the small of your back.

he’d definitely gauge your reactions throughout the day to make sure that it’s what you’re really after, and when he’s proven right, even in the middle of an attitude adjustment he’s making sure he’s not pushing your limits too far. he’s attentive, even when he’s bullying his cock in you. 🫠

[coughs and almost throws up on myself. sits back in my office chair and leans out the open door] LINDA. CAN WE GET MEAN JON SNOW ON THE PHONE?!

with jon, he’s only able to be mean in a dirty context. sorry but u can’t convince me otherwise. out of a dirty context, robb could definitely be mean. cregan could be assertive…. hm… IM GETTING OFF TRACK.

jon is a patient man. he’s understanding, and honestly, you might have to give him some serious hints on what you want. he could definitely get the idea on his own, but it would be better/easier to talk to him about it. he would be unsure at first, afraid of hurting you, but if you push his buttons you’d get what you want. when you’re being snarky and pushing his buttons, he’d just give you these looks. his eyes are dark, and he’s clearly frustrated, but he won’t do anything in front of other people. he’d make you think he let it slide, and then you’re walking to your shared chambers & he’s suddenly dragging you there, closing the door & pushing you against it.

and… can i be real… i don’t think he’d even use his cock. you love when jon uses his mouth on you. he’s so good at it, it’s almost like a reward. but, with that being said… edging. that’s his way of being mean. he’s skilled with his tongue, he knows how to make you cum. so he won’t. he’ll get you there, he’ll make you get soooo close — and then pull away, making you whine. he’s not mad forever though, and he can’t resist making you cum for long. he just needs to get his frustration out, then you can finish <3

oh but.. freshly post resurrection jon snow. i think he needs to fuck you. hard. bend you over till you’re crying. he’s grunting and panting,. and… and…. [i go limp] [lindas voice crackles over the intercom] “SHES DOWN! CODE BLACK” [emts come and retrieve me with a stretcher]

WOOOOOO YAAAYYYY YIPPEEEE !!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!

Maybe some things were always meant to be broken...

I said I'd do it I SAID I'D DO IT-

Ooooooooh boy, here we go! I said I'd draw and color in a Hatter, and so I did! I never said that it was going to be a happy piece ;3 (hey, even I'm capable of angst at times) so here's Jervis having a not-so-fun time. (My first ever semi-scene even!)

The reason Scarecrow (figure on the right) has "HATE" written on it is because I couldn't think of what Scarecrow's symbol would be, plus it's a mention to "the incident" that happened between Crane and Tetch that we don't know much about. (But all we know is it was messy!)

Also the masks under the figures are a nod to froot-batty's Mad Hatter tea party pic, where Eddie and Jon are wearing masks!

Anywho, I'm super proud of this, the background may not be fully colored in but it was fun!

A better view of the full thing, since I did have to break out the big sketchbook for this one.

All of these amazing designs (Jervis, Edward, Jonathan, and the Alice) belong to the awesome @froot-batty! I really hope I did your Hatter (and everyone else) justice ;3

[witchinatree]

i'm having so much fun with the new tmagp characters (and i will miss them dearly until april 11th) (side note: patreon members get access on my sisters birthday which is pretty cool) and i don't want to compare them to the tma characters because they are unique and different in MANY ways, i just also notice some parallels

gwen is very similar to jon, she has had a somewhat skeptic attitude but has now clearly been exposed to the horrors (bonzo..) and she's also climbing the corporate ladder if you will. she runs the place, she's grumpy, and i think she's closer to becoming an avatar than any of the others (even sam) (see my other post about it if youd like) (idk how to link it on mobile sorry)

alice and tim are kinda obvious, both comedic with younger brothers and are very susceptible to romantic feelings (sasha/sam). there was a lot more going on with tim and we haven't seen much of that side of alice, so i'm really excited to learn about her backstory and/or traumas. less excited about what that might to do her but yk.. yk..

sam/sasha is the most interesting one to me. sam is curious like sasha was. sasha wanted to know which made her archivist potential in everyone's eyes. sam also wants to know, he'd make a great archivist. except he's not cautious, he's like sasha if she had never worked in the artifact storage. i think sasha's strength was what she had already experienced and what she knew, but she didn't know enough and ultimately that got her killed. sam is going to keep learning until he does know enough, but he doesn't have that prior knowledge to stop him from going too far. very interesting characters from both of them

celia and martin i guess? celia's different since she's not exactly from tmagp

lena and elias because creepy murder boss

and finally colin and gertrude which is kind of insane of me to say but hear me out. gertrude cut out the eyes of book covers and magazines and everything in her home. she was incredibly paranoid she just was also a boss ass bitch about it. i think younger gertrude must've been a lot like colin, but she figured it out quicker and realized what she needed to do to survive. she asked the right questions and took the right precautions. she had the archive full of knowledge. colin doesn't have the archive, he's messing with the wrong thing and he's taking every precaution and hurting himself and those around him (sam's phone specifically comes to mind). i think gertrude was like colin but she had the right resources to get through it

idk all of these are very interesting and it makes me worry a bit, but ofc every character is unique and has aspects to them that change their stories. they're probably still gonna die though, we know jonny sims loves killing characters ☹️

[the-s1lly-corner]

Can you write some stuff about Spot with one bed trope. You can either write pre collider or after collider. Which one is easy. I just have this idea for days and you I love your writings

one bed trope with Jonathan Ohnn!

basically jonathan has a crush on reader, no confession happens, and reader isnt confirmed or denied to reciprocate mostly just jon watching you sleep and thinking about what could be admin got a little silly not proof read, the bangers im listening too were too intense, we die like the spider that bit miles not sure how long this post is going to be! im not used to typing on an actual computer so my shoulders going stiff </3 anyways!

honestly i wouldnt put it past him to not get a room with one bed on purpose/hj

but lets assume he didnt and this is a genuine coincidence, because i think his misery and half hidden crush would be funny

gonna do a middle road here and assume spot has a crush on reader but hasnt confessed yet; whether reader feels the same is going to be up in the air

you see his body language immediately change when he sees the single bed in the room; you two had booked a hotel for the night for one reason for another

perhaps a work trip?

regardless the point still stands that there is only one bed

he offers to sleep on the floor, he doesnt mind it for one night, he can suck it up and-

you stop him before he can go on a full thing about how you can have the entire bed to yourself and how his back can stand sleeping on the floor for a few hours

yeah, no, with how hes always hunched over himself, his back will most certainly not thank him in the morning...

thank god the room is dim, otherwise youd see just how red his face is... not that his nervousness wasnt evident with how he was stumbling over himself

you convince him to take the left half of the bed, while you take the right

oh boy this is awkward

the air feels so thick, like you could cut straight through it... or is that just jonathons thinking?

his back is to you, so his face isnt right in yours; whether that makes it more awkward he cant tell...

he considered breaking the silence, but stopped himself; what if you were already alseep

you werent talking..

he carefully rolled onto his back and looked at you, hoping he wasnt too obvious

you were asleep already.... oh how he envied you, for dropping so fast

he turned, now facing you, alone with his thoughts

his mouth parted, before closing again

what? was he really going to talk to you, while you were knocked out?

"get real..." he thought to himself

he wasnt sure how long he ended up laying there, but for the majority of the time he was awake he thought about you

every part that he liked, everything that he wanted to tell you, the future he wanted to have with you

he wanted to hold you, to take you out and spoil you. maybe even move in together in a nice house? maybe even, if you wanted, have kids? he never really saw himself as a father but if you wanted him to be, he'd step up-

and and

he would make sure that you knew you were valued to at least one person, everyday, and would remind you how much he loved you, and...

but-

but you were coworkers; and thats how it would likely remain..

"but," hed interject, only to shoot himself down

it was agonizing, actually

that repeating cycle of thoughts kept up until his eyelids were about to close

but as he was about to drift off, your form suddenly scooted closer to him

eyes wide he looked at you, oh god were you awake the entire time he was staring?

no

you were still asleep

on one hand he was relieved that he wasnt caught being... weird... and his body relaxed' but on the other hand he felt his heart wretch knowing that you werent really. snuggling into him on purpose

as much as he wanted to stay close by and nuzzled into you, he shifted himself to the edge of the bed and sat up

he looked at the clock, it was a few hours past midnight...

he pulled himself up, and tugged himself to the bathroom

yeah... there was no way he was going to be able to sleep with you in the bed... not that it was your fault..! its just..

he frowned, desperately avoiding accidentally glancing at himself in the mirror

no, you would never... right?

when morning comes and you eventually wake up and question his absence in bed and the circles around his eyes he dismisses you with a simple "oh i couldnt sleep, the bed was uncomfortable,"

poor guy

[stevie-petey]

ooh jon pov!! maybe a blurb of jon pov from halloween? from the party or him taking nancy home? i love the dynamic between the four of them sm <3

YES !!! jon pov ur so loved

enjoy <3

"so, you come here often?" jonathan winces at his own stupid question.

samantha, the goth girl, snorts into her cup. "nice one."

"yeah," he looks around. why arent you back yet? you know how scared he is of girls. for years its all youve made fun of him for, and now, when a girl has approached him, youve abandoned him.

samantha takes another sip from her drink and jonathan really wants to die. he doesnt know where youve gone, and now hes starting to get worried. normally by now youd be back by his side, teasing him and making him feel like an idiot, but youre not.

maybe youre with nancy, bonding over a cup of random liquor and giggling over boys.

yeah. right.

"do you like the music-"

"sorry, did you see where my friend went?" jonathan interrupts the girl, who gives him a wicked glare.

she shoves her cup towards the kitchen, her voice now gruff. "that way."

jonathan turns around and finally sees the flash of your red dress. he exhales, relieved, and apologizes to samanatha before making his way over to you.

he takes his time. it looks like youre talking to someone, but as he gets closer, jonathan starts to notice the way your eyebrows are scrunched with discomfort. the tension you hold in your shoulders. how your eyes are flashing in alarm as you push against a figure.

"just get the fuck off of me-"

then, jonathan notices the arms that encase you against the wall, pinning you so that you cant move, and suddenly all he can see his red. he doesnt know what hes doing next until its done.

pain spreads throughout jonathans fist.

its automatic, a reflex innate within him.

the guy hes punched crumbles to the ground and jonathan is about to start kicking the fuck out of him when steve appears. he drags him back by his jacket and jonathan is about to punch steve as well.

but then he sees the way youre shielding yourself against the wall and all the residual anger in jonathan vanishes. youre scared. he wont make it worse for you. youd kill him if he did, anyways.

jonathan leans over the guy. "she told you to get off of her."

the guy smiles again, slowly gets up, and then takes a bow. "not bad, loner boy."

again the rage returns, but not as violently as it had only a few moments ago when jonathan saw the guy about to assault you. no, anyone could do what they wanted with him, but you? it was always red when it came to you.

jonathan tries to step closer, but steve grabs him again. "hes not worth it, man."

he knows steve is right, but youre shaking. the lights may be dimmed and you may be covered in a long gown, but jonathan sees it. youre pale, the normal fire in your eyes is gone. the guy had really gotten under your skin, something he hadnt thought was possible.

jonathan has never hated anyone so viciously before.

whoever this blonde mullet asshole is, jonathan wont ever let him near you again.

[fictionkinfessions]

augh it's late and i'm feeling sappy and missing people from cannon so here we go.

gerard, there is so much i want to say yet not enough space in here so i will simply continue to scream about the fact i miss you. most of the time i just loop ep111 so i can at least hear you. if i find you again, we need to find an abandoned building to explore because i very much miss doing that. also miss the old mill we used to hang out in as teens.

michael, even though you were like... 10 years older than me, you were a great friend and a good person to hang out with in the archives whenever i found myself in there for whatever reason. i definitely miss helping you with research and archive stuff. i have a somewhat standin for the gold pocket watch you gave me before you left with gertrude, and i hope you managed to hang onto that purple scarf i gave you in return.

jon, i miss your annoyed comments youd throw in when sasha, tim, and i would banter and no i will never forget the fact we got you to join in on the banter many times while you were all in research. as much as you probably think you were some kinda prick, you were actually a good person, even after you became the archive. i wish i could have helped you more in the end.

martin, god the things i could say about you. i hope you know how much i miss your damn tea, i have never been able to find a single person who makes it like you and i'm now convinced you just have magic tea powers. i hated tea until you offered me some in the library one day. changed my damn mind then and there. i do hope you found jon again after everything. and i do miss the way you did your best to take care of everyone.

sasha, i always remembered the original you even after the not-them. you were like the cool aunt mum of the archives and i loved you for it, always checking on everyone, somehow keeping tim in line, never without some sarcastic remark or quick banter to lift the mood even though you were the most responsible out of all of us.

tim, first off i don't remember where you came up with the nickname 'dasher' for me but i still use it around. definitely miss the banter and witt and sarcasm and the 'too cool for these losers' attitude. you were like a second brother to me after gerry died and even though i never got to really explain that to you before the unknowing, i want to thank you for that. for being a big brother figure that i needed at the time.

basira, daisy, melanie, i'm sorry i never got to know you all very well. i know by the time you all joined the archive i wasn't exactly in a good place and was probably a bit harsh and quick to judge, but i'm sure we all would have been friends before everything went to hell.

elias and gertrude i will do this with one go because i know for a fact i pissed both of you off rummaging around the archives and institute since i was a kid and you both never seemed to be able to get rid of me. elias, i know it was jonah and not you that did most of it, but sometimes i wish we met before any of that. maybe we would have been friends even. and gertrude. i don't think i have any words for you that i didn't already say back then. you got my brother and best friend killed and i will never forgive you for that.

at the end of the day though, i miss my brother, i miss the archive folks, imma go listen to tma again and cry!

ive seen a lot of buzz about ncuti gatwa being the first black doctor, which is fantastic of course dont get me wrong, but hes also the first QUEER doctor (queer is the only word he uses because he doesnt like labels), and i havent seen nearly as much buzz about that. i figured if you didnt already know that youd enjoy learning it

i knew this the moment he said he loved jon pertwee bc he's the only other doctor who dresses like a slut. you don't get that kind of insight from a straight guy

[devine-fem]

Okay so I'm gonna ramble a bit, but I love Jon he's literally my son (I totally have the court documents to prove it 💅)

I feel like while Jon is very loving and caring. Him being loving is VERY different from him being in love. He will show people with affection but there's only one person he'll greedily accept affection without guilt. He will be supportive towards almost everyone but there's only one person he'll go to the ends of the galaxy for an ounce of praise.

The difference between Jon loving you, and Jon being IN love with you is very jarring. If Jon loves you, he will give love and rarely accept it without his insisting that you don't need to. He tries to be humble. If Jon is IN LOVE with you, the love goes both ways without a fight. He accepts it like he's been deprived of it all his life and will return it tenfold.

I CAN'T ARTICULATE MYSELF. BUT! ALIEN BOY LOVES HARD AND IN ABUNDANCE!!! AND HE WANTS TO BE LOVED TOO!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Like you get what I'm trying to say, right? (Yes this is about Damijon)

this is cute and what youd want but actually i think its the opposite. i think that if jon loves you he needs that support back 24/7 or else he would be lost and a shell of a person but if hes in love with you… he just needs to know that you love him. thats it

ive posted about this before but just the idea that jon doesn’t necessarily need fruitful words carefully picked out or pledges of affirmation and affection to confort him, damian’s ability to give him an earful is what really lets him know he does deeply care about him. that’s what comforting. people can lie to themselves just as easy as they can lie to him. but with damian even with his hurt being paid back in attitude, it always feeds him the truth that’ll snap him back into reality.

thats so important to me. its so freeing, stressless and its so content and soft.

damian’s little emotionally constipated self doesn’t understand it but jon and along with kryptonians, they just love haaard and don’t need it back at all

thank you for the ask

[rise-my-angel]

Totally hypothetical. If i went into hotgw and brought robb back (you cannot say impossible) and put him in front of reader and jon snow (again please humor me) do you think reader would take him back? Or did death do them part

OKAY I HAVE AN INTERESTING ANSWER TO THAT. So, going by the current timeline, Jon and the Reader are at the same stage Robb and the Reader were when they died.

Only a few short years into being married (3 for Robb and you closing in on 1 year in a few months for Jon and you). And you are five months pregnant with his child. The same scenario when Robb watched you and his unborn son get butchered before his eyes.

Robb also loves Jon and never wanted to take happiness away from him and Jon never wanted to just replace and erase Robb from your life. But things are no longer simple. (I mean emotionally wise, I'm ignoring the question of so whose actually King in the North now because the logistics of that are more complicated then the average scheme by Littlefinger).

Because this is a tidbit hidden in both the nsfw alphabet one shot and the side story Scattered Memories of the Starks. But Robb at the very least, knew that by the time the main series started, Jon was into you in some way. He knew for a fact it was sexual, but he was unsure as to if it also was romantic and to what degree. Now he had no idea it was a relationship, and he assumed you did not have a clue about any of this, but Robb was fully aware to some degree Jon had developed some form of intimate feelings for you.

So him coming back, and seeing you and Jon married and pregnant wouldnt actually surprise him that much. He would understand Jon's side completely and he would understand that it was likely not easy for you to move on. So he wouldnt blame either party and wouldn't want you or Jon feeling guilty.

But Robb loves you still and you're his wife, even if just in the previous life you shared but in his heart you never stopped being his wife. But now you're also Jon's wife. And you are pregnant with Jon's child at the same stage you were with Robbs child.

At that point, I don't think it has anything to do with your choice. Robb and Jon both know youd be too confused and guilty and upset to be rationale to make a decision on your own about it.

It would really come down to a very long night between Robb and Jon and probably a decent amount of ale as they try to talk about what going to happen. They need to both be on the same page because both love you and neither want to hurt the other nor you by making you choose.

Though I will say, there is a bit of a hiccup that tips the balance in Jon's favour. And that is his resurrection. You resurrecting Jon had bound you both by a very deep kind of blood magic that binds you both to the other for life. Just like how Thoros and Beric are deeply connected by this abnormal magic, its intense between Jon and you because now also, romantic feelings are involved.

Resurrection has also awoken some more deeply hidden tendencies in Jon inherited by a certain individual *cough cough* and that darker side of him has made Jon extremely possessive about you. He doesn't want to refuse your and Robbs love and doesnt resent either of you for it, but there would be no denying that Robb would come back and notice that Jon is very intensely possessive of you more then is at all normal and you are very dependent on him in a similar abnormal manner (you had one fight with Jon and thought he didnt love you anymore and ran away into the arms of an assassination attempt on your life like GIRL YOU ARE UNWELL).

I don't think it comes down to choosing one over the other, I think its a lot more complicated, especially because of the bond created between you and Jon through his resurrection has deeply corrupted both of your abilities to approach the relationship with a rational degree of distance and self control. And that's a very difficult thing that is genuinly impossible to just work through.

[mxwhore]

commission for @sapphireclaw - her monster Jon design from her fic series! If youd like to know my rates you can find them here <3

[inverse-problem]

hiii you posted something about having read most of the like, recommended books with robots in them and i was just curious if you would be cool with listing some that youd rec? trying to read more books with robots in them and curious for ideas :]

sure! was gonna do a whole organized post but I may as well just get some down for now. not gonna be an exhaustive list (there's a bunch on my to-read list I don't want to rec before I read it myself), my summaries may be dubious, my taste may also be dubious, but here's a few I liked. I definitely recommend seeking stuff out outside of my list bc honestly it's quite limited now that I'm looking at it lol. be warned also that a lot of these deal with heavy themes of stuff including identity, bodily autonomy, etc. (idk which specific topics may be an issue so be sure to consult a trigger list if necessary). also I have yet to find anything with a robot romance that I find particularly compelling but ah well

the murderbot diaries series by martha wells: pretty much everyone's gonna recommend these to you, and for good reason imo, they're quite solid. main character is basically a security guard cyborg (humanoid but not human) who hacked its programming and is trying to figure out what it actually wants to do with itself now that it has free will. all it wants to do is watch tv shows in its head and avoid interacting with people, but life-or-death situations and its penchant for wanting to rescue people keep getting in its way

the imperial radch series by ann leckie: sentient spaceship ai that once had hundreds of human bodies all networked to a central ai, on a revenge quest. lots of themes of identity, lots of space geopolitics, a big horrendous empire that people are grappling with being complicit in, and an interesting take on a single-gendered society inspired by ursula leguin's the left hand of darkness (also a solid book, no robots there though). gets quite intense at times because of the sorts of horrors that evil empires get up to

17776 by jon bois: (note the link is to a website that turns into the story when you scroll through, watch out if flickering/eyestrain/etc is an issue) technically not a book but a multimedia webnovel of sorts (with short animations and videos, but mostly written as dialogue between characters). it's the year 17776, a lot of places are underwater, humanity has found itself immortal, and several space probes have gained sentience. now, the space probes busy themselves with watching and discussing what the humans are doing to entertain themselves, which mostly involves really absurd games of football. a bit absurdist and existential but very fun, even if you don't know much about football

the monk and robot series, by becky chambers: this one is very chill; a monk in a cozy post-industrial future setting doesn't know what they want from life so they go on adventure on impulse and meet a robot. robots have been out of contact with humanity for a long time, so both of them learn a lot from each other

the wayfarers series, also by becky chambers: haven't read all of them yet but the first book is a chill character-driven space road trip story with a friendly ship ai. lots of found family themes, and great if you like seeing a story where people are working together and are really in their element. the sequels tell other stories set in the same universe, most of which also feature robot characters, and there's interesting alien characters there too

activation degradation, by marina j lostetter: a robot gets activated on a space mining platform during an alien attack, and has to deal with a bunch of ensuing chaos and misinformation. I mostly found the plot twists interesting here, the characters themselves were so-so to me

obligatory asimov recommendations, caveat that his work is old and has historical biases etc, but also that's where you get the three laws of robotics so welp. I, robot is an interesting collection of short stories, mostly focusing on how the three laws of robotics actually can break down in various situations. there's also the robot trilogy which is basically a buddy cop detective story with a human from earth and a robot from space and they solve murders. lots of caveats with this rec (for one, I'm not big on cop shit to put it mildly) but asimov does do some interesting worldbuilding and society building with how the earth and space societies differ. there's the foundation series that follows from these books but I haven't read that haha

the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series by douglas adams: only one prominent robot here who sporadically shows up, but also this series is just a fun time. the premise is that earth gets destroyed by aliens to make way for an unnecessary space highway, and one very tired human survives and bounces around the galaxy encountering all sorts of weird situations. lots of humourous satire, some a bit dated at this point but much still holds up. also douglas adams just has a way with words

individual short stories:

fandom for robots by vina jie-min prasad: a robot learns what fandom is! a very fun read imo

a guide for working breeds, also by vina jie-min prasad, whose writing I really like in general tbh: robots dealing with a contract job economy

68:hazard:cold by janelle c. shane: robot stranded on an ice planet. I really like the description of how a robot's view of the world and communication protocols might look

cat pictures please by naomi kritzer: an ai wants to be helpful to humanity but doesn't quite know how; a nice benevolent ai story

there were other short stories I also liked but I can't find where I put them now, welp. let me know if you read and enjoy any of these, though!

1, 10, & 13 for the ask game !! whatever fandom youd like !!

1 - the character everyone gets wrong - i think some people get grace wrong. first and foremost, she would not wear a skirt and in this essay i will- (i know i've written her wearing a skirt. and i was wrong.)

10. worst part of fanon - again, do what you want. i don't like the jon matteson family tree. i especially dislike people treating it as canon. actually that's my main issue with fanon: people treating it as canon even when it doesn't suit the text. something something just because the "vibes" are right doesn't mean it makes sense with canonically expressed behaviour. are you seeing this character for who they are or interpreting them based on one personality trait. please. you can see them that way, but please don't say that it's the only correct interpretation. please.

just answered but 13. worst blorboficiation - boy jerry. do what you want forever, i just think that too many people (or maybe one person i've now blocked) get him to allyship too quickly. he would not fucking validate your sexuality /lh
