Good morning to all the mentally ill, lonely, fictional robot/AI-loverz. Behold my hottest take.

How have I never made the connection that Ella Malikov and Fin bOTH GOT LYSERGIA

[radioactive-metal]

absolutely bananas headcanon about why Aurora Legion and Illuminae files are in the same universe

ok… so like, I’m almost sure of this, because of that one plague that’s mentioned in both books, lystergia or something. So, you may ask, “But Mr. Metal what about [fold/aliens/spaceships]” and I say shut your mouth please I’m getting there:

The Fold: they just…. Stopped using it. They decided it was too dangerous after the rahaam because of rouge spores or some shit and also annoying that realistically your most veteran combat crews are like 25 years old generally (looking at you aurora legion) so they started using wormholes instead. Much cleaner, no weird ancient aliens leaving their old glassware around, no psychosis, just good old fashioned giving space time a good wedgie. This is why the Alexander has a big bugger off wormhole in its belly, and has low ranking crew that have like, spouses and kids.

why no aliens? Because Kerenza is like, 10000 people tops and most of them are dead, and it’s in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. You can’t take much family along, so I would bet against beretreskans (even fin talks about needed connections) and I just don’t think the syldrathi would work on a shitty little backwater for a human company. It’s just… not in their nature.

governments: is it that big of a stretch to assume terragov did a big rebrand after it turns out their intelligence wing is full of fun guys? (I know very funny you can shoot me later) also the other governments aren’t mentioned because like… why would they be? Nobody knew what was going on until after the events of the book, so why would they be mentioned?

the ships: I forgot what I wanted to say here but something something still have marines something something.

AI, AKA AIDAN you cannot kill people: is it that much of a stretch to assume that AIs can go from little crazy pocket pad sized giga brain intelligences to city sized “I can calculate all of space time to rip holes in it” Uberbrain in like 150-200 years?

more to come maybe but I need sleep to regain energy to scream at more maybe tommorow.

Illuminae fans, pls help me out!

I first read Illuminae from the library, and when I got a copy as a gift I never opened it until now. For some reason, pages 107-170 are printed upside down and arranged backwards in my copy. Here’s a photo of pages 106 and 170:

(The bookmark is marking where the upside down and backwards section ends)

I know this book plays with page format a lot, but I don’t remember this when I first read it. I’m also listening to the audiobook rn and came across this while trying to find my spot in the physical copy. Is this standard printing or did I get a weird copy?

I have so many projects to be working on...But Isaac Grant doesn't have any fanart.

Illumiae fanart in this day and age??!

I actually drew these designs some time around last August, posted them, and then deleted the post for some strange reason? (Idk man)

More rambling below

Last year I read Illuminae, started Gemina and then stopped. I'm planning on restarting Gemina bc I remember enjoying the book so idk what my reason to stop reading was.

With my reread I want to start drawing these goobers again bc it's fun and there's a severe lack of fan content. (I crave contribution)

Also (please correct me if I am wrong bc I often am) I don't think I've ever seen any fanart of Jimmy before. I love that guy.

Something, something, original image.

Byron was supposed to be drawn in the empty gap in the bottom left corner... what happened there then past me?

[soundsofastar]

don't ask me how this happened but in looking for tattoo inspiration I found the original image used in one of the pages in gemina. The galaxy in this photo is called NCG 1672 and it was taken using X-Ray and Infrared technology by NASA! you can find the full image here :)

Isaac Grant: We call that a traumatic event. Isaac Grant, looking at Nik: Not a "bruh moment." Isaac Grant, looking at Hanna: Not a "major L." Isaac Grant, looking at Ella: And definitely not an "OOF LMAO."

[tiredmoonslut]

Oh Hanna's a fucking badass yes MA'AM
