Quick doodle for Blitzmeyer day because I love her

"It's not your responsibility to save everyone, you know."

I think Meredith's most underrated trait is that in addition to being a brilliant, unhinged, neurodivergent, queer-coded scientist icon, she is such a genuinely kind person and good friend. She thought it was weird she was Ballister's emergency contact, but she didn't shame him for it. He destroyed her life's work, but she saw how hurt he was and instead of being cruel about it, which she'd have had every right to be, she says "I hear you're some kind of a hero, now" (this coming from the person who hadn't even "heard" he was the most notable terrorist of the decade until a week prior) and assures him that he saved a lot of people, even if he couldn't save everyone.

She has much more grace and empathy and kindness than people give her credit for and for such a small character she is so wonderful. Happy birthday, Doc.

[Images: four oriented/pan aroace pride icons of Dr. Meredith Blitzmeyer from Nimona. She’s shown as a bust shot en profile, pointing her finger at something off screen and looking very serious. The second and fourth icon have a slight drop shadow behind them. The first two icons (the top row) have the oriented aroace flag behind them; the last two icons (bottom row) have an oriented aroace pride flag with the pan flag in the form of a heart (which is slightly to the right) on it. End description.]

Day four of Arospec Awareness Week and my ‘daily icon’ challenge! Dr. Blitzmeyer is pan aroace and an absolute icon (get it?). Free to use unless you’re a transmed, TERF, aspec exclusionist, or anti-anti (support pedophilic/incestuous/abusive ships). Credit appreciated but not required.

Meredith Blitzmeyer Appreciation Day?

If I am understanding the Wayback Machine correctly, it looks like she made her first appearance in the webcomic on June 7, 2013.

Might be a good day to reblog some Meredith Blitzmeyer fanart, read/rec/comment on some fanfic, make some new fanwork, do some science, or simply enjoy some tea. :)
