#Lamp Ships

[basiliskfree]

I wanted to start design work on Hugo’s ship but realized I needed to know what a standard Lamp ship’s insides looked like, so here is that! more info under the cut. 

Lamp Ships tend to all have some common room types that are found in the smallest's scout ships to the Kilometer long mining ships. Even in Hivemind ship these spaces are more colourful then one would think do to how even non sentient Lamp respond to colour. 

Servers and Brain Room:

Lamps Ships use the same brain cores as the much smaller units but Linked together into huge networks that run though a massive biological/mechanical system in it’s center. This system is what allows Lamp ships to jump into the between as well as sent FTL messages through this Subspace (Spectrum Lamps refer to this as “sing”). 

They also have what Lamps call “dumb computers” or “thinking rocks” large silicon base computers that act as servers and archives. this run some of the more mundane tacks around the ship. Surprisingly these computers are programed in binary and function much like human, digital Computers. 

Both are heavy liquid cold (see the blue piping) and are some of the most shielded parts of a Ship.

Kitchen and Greenroom:

Lamps have fairy simple digestion tracts,  so often have some basic cooking systems on board. Though this is one of the rooms where the difference between Spectrum and Hivemind ships is the largest. The Spectrum Lamps caring more about how good, or interesting a meal is vs a Hive ship just wanting the max nutrition per energy spent on the food. Most Kitchens are equipped with a food printer, simple oven  and microwave. As well as freeze driers and cold storage. 

The Green Room Pictured is a rack system often used for fast growing fruits and “filter” plants 

Hallway:

Lamp ships have circle hallways that run between the ships thick hull and the interior living spaces. Most have a mix of small workstations, assess points and storage. As picture here Yellow is commonly used as the colour for doors and “Floors”, Ships tend to use acceleration to produce “gravity” but if they are using rotation, or planetary forces to produce a “down” whatever wall or ceiling that has become the floor will become yellow. 

Fusion Engine room B:

Lamp Ships have at least three engines, the Main Anti-matter reactor that is used in Jumps and for their main thruster and is picture as the Purple Lantern like structure at the very front of the ship. 

For the Rest if the Ships systems and back up for the main reactor are two Fusion Engines. These rooms tend to be very purple, a common warning colour do to the high power and magnetic fields in these areas 

“MedBay”:

In Hivemind ships these rooms are not so much true med-bays but are instead used to regrow the flesh bodies of the Lamp units who have “died” or to make new limbs. In Spectrum Ships these rooms have much more medical equipment, so medicine is not ether nothing or melt off your current body and probably dying.

Engineering: 

Depending on the size of the ship the Engineering floors can have everything form laser cutters, metal 3d printers, looms and Skin printers. Produce anything a lamp ship may need to repair themselves in space. most also have a small “Replicator”; a System that can use the Lamps massive energy systems to move around and change atoms into new chemicals. These are normally use to produce rarer elements from simple ones or harder to made chemicals. As even with two fusion engines, these systems use a lot of power and need deep knowledge of chemistry to use outside of the presets.

What Your Favorite Sanders Sides Ship Says About You

Inspired by Eldena Doubleca5t's excellent series!

Prinxiety: You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of getting dunked on. Also, you probably watched BBC Merlin at some point.

Analogical: Your ideal relationship dynamic is two cats on opposite ends of the same couch.

Anxceit: Your addiction to edgy boys got so bad that one day you decided: [spongebob meme] What’s better than ONE edgy boy? TWO edgy boys!

Dukexiety: I’m not saying you for sure see a therapist, but I am saying with as much love as possible, that maybe you should.

Moxiety: You are touch starved. You don't want to be hugged, you want to use another human being as a weighted blanket.

Logicality: Your ideal relationship dynamic is sitcom wife x sitcom husband.

Intruality: Either "I can fix him" or "I can make him worse" depending on which side you're projecting on

Royality: Your ideal relationship dynamic is himbo x himbo, and you have so much ADHD.

Remrom: 🚨 FBI OPEN UP 🚨

Logince: How's that crush on your much more extroverted best friend going?

Intrulogical: Looking back on your childhood, you can pinpoint The Master from Doctor Who as the beginning of your crippling addiction to the most unhinged characters known to fiction.

Lociet: Half of you came here from shipping L and Light in Death Note, and half of you came here from shipping Sherlock and Moriarty in BBC Sherlock.

Dukeciet: You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of committing arson together.

Roceit: Your ideal relationship dynamic is just that tumblr post that's like "go fuck yourself" "fuck me yourself, coward."

Mociet: I'm not saying you for sure have daddy issues, but I am saying I would be surprised if you didn't

LAMP/DLAMP(polycule): You don’t like to make decisions.

Nicomas: And, finally, you are a firm believer in keeping things canon and keeping things wholesome. You just want good things for Thomas, and really, who wouldn't?

Swiss, texting a bedridden Dew: "MY LOVE <3!!! WHAT DOTH THOU WANT FROM THE KITCHEN???" Dew, delirious, on the verge of tears, texting back: "Wan wabble... s'pnutbubber." Swiss, looking at Aether: "Translation?" Aether, looking at his phone: "A waffle with peanut butter." Swiss, patting Aether's shoulder: "Thank you." -texting back- "A WAFFLE WITH PEANUT BUTTER FOR MY SICKLY DARK LORD-" Aether: "And who says romance is dead..."

Headcanon moment: sometimes they stay up late just chatting (definitely not because Larry has insomnia and is hoarding the only place Colin can plug himself into)

(reblogs > likes !!)

What can I say. The inspiration struck. Tag me if you have incorrect quotes you want captioned

WOWOW

I think what makes Goncharov so compelling is that it combines some of what I like to call Tumblr's Greatest Hits.

1. Fandoms overanalyzing properties in ways the creators never intended or could even comprehend. (See: miles long meta posts, Cas is Lamp, homoerotic angst read into action/comedy content like Pacific Rim or the MCU)

2. inventing something extra-canonical and acting like it is an actual part of canon. (See: Glup Shitto, TAZ Grad's Bingus debacle, BBC Sherlock's Sebastian Moran as played by Michael Fassbender)

3. the ages old tumblr experience of only learning about a property via gifsets and fandom textposts that end up on your dashboard (See: people thinking Destiel was another angel, thinking Destiel was canon ages ago, knowing inside jokes for fandoms despite never watching whatever the fandom is based around)

And lastly,

4. Making fun of non-tumblr users by way of making fun of tumblr users (See: simply saying things like Horse Plinko Eeby Deeby Blorbo lil meow meow Super Hell)

All of these have combined into a mass hallucination of a film that has not ever existed and yet has a cast, plot, director, release date, narrative themes, subtext, ships, fan theories, etc. This shit is incredible

The Fire Burns Brightest

"It's okay to be sad, Aeon, even if you don't think you have a good reason to be." Dew says, drawing spirals in the sand with the stick he'd been using to stoke the fire in front of them, "Emotions are complicated, and sometimes we're just... Ugh, I wish I was better with words and shit..."

He gestures at his head.

"Shit's fucked up here." he states plainly, making Aeon snort, "No, but really. I could literally cry at the drop of a hat some days, and sometimes I don't even know why. More than once, I have felt like I was on the verge of a breakdown, like, I was wholly ready to just lose it... and then I took the biggest shit and I felt fine."

"Being alive is... a real mess." he continues, "Our physical needs impact our emotions, and our emotions impact our health... That's why they call stress the silent killer."

"I guess I..." Aeon starts, narrowing their eyes at the flames, "...It's a lot, being here. Being around all of you, being thrown into this position, this place... And I feel like I have a lot to live up to with Aether and..."

"...I want people to like me, but I don't feel like they do, and I just... I'm so... I just feel so fucking lonely here, and I don't know why, I-I just..."

Dew scoots over and wraps his arm around Aeon's shoulder, giving them a squeeze, not quite the full on hug they want, but as close as the other ghoul feels comfortable giving them right now.

"Well, I can tell you I like you; I like you and Aurora a lot, and I know the others feel the same." he assures them, letting go to stoke the fire again, "Maybe I'm not the best person to hear that from, Hell, I couldn't convince Sunny it was true when she was in your shoes... but I mean it. I can't lie about that sh-stuff."

"Then why..." Aeon bites their lip, "...If you like me, why don't you like me, like me?"

Dew freezes, hand held over the fire.

"...Aeon, we talked about this."

"Yeah, and I still..." Aeon stands up, "I still feel the same way. I still like you like that! I just... If you could tell me why... what's wrong with me-"

"There isn't anything wrong with you!" Dew yells, "It's me! I'm the one who has the problem, and I just... I don't feel that way about you. I haven't felt that way about anyone since-"

"...Since Aether, right?" Aeon whispers, startling when the stick in Dew's hand catches, "Dew-"

"Maybe you're right." the older ghoul says, tightening his grip on the burning wood, "Maybe I am comparing you to Aether... but I wouldn't have to if you weren't trying so hard to replace him-"

And, oh, does that sting.

"I didn't mean to say that." Dew says all too quickly, but Aeon isn't even listening to him, swatting the stick out of his hand, "Ow!"

"Idiot! You might be a fire ghoul but you can still get burnt!" Aeon shouts patting, "I don't care if you're comparing me to Aether! I already compare myself to him every time I step on stage, but I know I'm not him! What I want is for you to realize that, too!"

Aeon pulls Dew towards them, cupping his face in their hands, and, fuck, does Dew look so much more...

"Just let me try... Or tell me no right here and now."
