#after I'm done emotionally keel-hauling myself on Shino-related stuff

[wordsandrobots]

Darn and fish-kettles.

Here I am rewatching bits of Iron-Blooded Orphans season 2 (because I like to suffer for referencing purposes) and it’s only now I register references to something called ‘the Outer-Sphere Development Corporation’, which given the emphasis on colonial properties administered by private enterprise in season 1 raises all sorts of juicy questions.

And I totally forgot all about that name -- it is just a name, we never get more details on what they do -- in the 300000 words of fanfic I wrote before getting to where I am and I could have Done Something with that, drat it! At least referenced it, or used it as another piece of the post-series status quo I’m writing, or make it a plot hook, or just something. But I didn’t because I hadn’t taken in that throwaway detail on my first couple of watchthroughs.

How thoroughly vexing.
