🥀 and 💭?

🥀 Talk about some of your fictional crushes and why they aren’t your F/O!

p much all of these the reason is either there's not enough story for me to work with, said story is incomplete, or i just don't think about them very often. sometimes its also a vibes thing. idfk.

rammattra (overwatch) - big sexy robot! phenomenal fucking design! animations designed to Get My Ass! however, overwatch lore is garbage so i cannot be assed! this also applies to moira. i am not immune to evil butch scientist but bro there is nothing there. im stealing her and filling her with bloodworms. shes my oc now. billy (backlash) - hi. read backlash. look its right here go go go go. i love billy so fucking much she's charming she's smart she's funny she builds robots and loves anime and she can see ghosts and shuffle souls around into different bodies! i get heart palpitations when she smiles. trans lesbian queen of my heart. fucking look at her.

i do actually have a backlash insert but they're busy trying to kiss the world's most garbage man. they can probably do better. honestly i have crushes on most of the women in this comic. hot ghost grandma pls dm me. lady sorcia (thieves and kings) - ok this ones. kind of obscure. rlly good comic tho you should also read thieves and kings. she's a sorceress who gets a good chunk of her power from a magical cloak and swords that are basically extensions of a dark force that really, REALLY doesn't want her gain indipendence. sometimes she does murders about it. i was entranced by her as a kid (for reasons that would become obvious to me later) and i still think she's really cool and tbh maybe i SHOULD make myself an insert for thieves and kings. do i not deserve a funny little wizard. glados (portal) - one time i played a VR game where you try to fix a robot and then when you fail she gets up real close in your face and berates you and chucks you into a pit of lava or whatever. fundamentally altered my brain chemistry in. a way. makoto nanya (blazblue) - super buff squirrel girl fights evil with the power of friendship and incredible violence! shes cute shes smart she's ride-or-die for the people she cares about and i would let her princess carry me into the sunset. unfortunately i cant reciprocate because my arms are limp spaghetti noodles but i can dream.

💭 What’s your favorite uncommon headcanon about your F/O?

i saw a comic where law tattooed his back by temporarily removing his own skin w/ Room and just went at that shit at his desk w/ a tattoo gun and it lives rent-free in my brain. that shit fucking rules. also i think he's autistic and on the aroace spectrum. idk how uncommon these are bc i don't interact with fandom much but anyways hes JUST like me frfr.

ok ive been meaning to read those Gideon the ninth books for a while and then i saw the phrase 'lesbian necromancers in space' and learning more got bumped to the top of my priorities. i think i know its a series (?) but could you tell me a little more abt it, amd where i should start?

Ok so yes! The Locked Tomb trilogy is a trilogy by Tamsyn Muir. The third book hasn’t come out yet but the first two books are Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth and they are INCREDIBLE. I spotted GtN on a shelf at Barnes and noble and picked it up because of the review on the front cover which reads—and this is a direct quote and sums up the book pretty nicely—“Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space! Decadent nobles vie to serve the deathless emperor! Skeletons!”

Yes, it is canonically gay. The author, Tamsyn Muir, is a lesbian herself, and I think it shows pretty clearly in the writing! The first book centers on Gideon, irreverent buff butch lesbian cavalier, and her necromancer, Harrow, extremely emotionally repressed goth as hell heir to the Ninth House and bone specialist, as they compete with the other houses to fill the position of lyctor to the emperor. It’s sci-fi but also fantasy. Necromancy. Space travel. Sword fights. Complicated lore and masterful world-building. Also it’s enemies to soulmates which is beautiful and also it is some of the best writing I have literally ever read? You wonder what’s happening the whole time and then by the end you have answers but now you just have MORE questions but even though you have questions the conclusions to each book are satisfying and it’s all very masterfully foreshadowed and makes you wonder how you didn’t figure things out sooner. It’s also very funny because in this dramatic world of magic and death, Gideon is,,,,a bit crass and it’s DELIGHTFUL. (“We do bones, motherfucker!”) Plus it has a larger cast of incredibly compelling and interesting characters, some who you will love and some who you will Not love and some who you will swing wildly back and forth between loving and hating ianthe. anyway yeah that’s my pitch PLEASE read the locked tomb trilogy it’s fucking fantastic
