Very smooth, Space Mom! 😁👍

I am sure I am not the only one thinking something happened between Natah/Lotus and Margulis during The Old War

[leolithe]

It's always "is it selfcest if she's meant to be a clone of you" and never "was she sweet to you did she love you was the lesbian sex good was the Sentient body everything you ever dreamed of was it maybe even more could you please tell me about it please please plea

[leolithe]

Imagine how Ballas would have reacted to seeing his ex becomeing gay with the sentient clone of herself?

"You were such an astronomical shit-head in life, that the only person you loved left you for herself"

That would have been a such a massive punch to the ego.

Yeah honestly Margulis x Lotus has some very funny roots depending on who you ask!

In Lotus' perspective it's like "OK I have these memories of a dead woman and I'm supposed to become her now. But I can't just stop being a Sentient and have myself exploded by the Jade Light so i'm gonna do the closest thing to becoming Margulis and devote myself to her memory instead"

In Margulis' perspective it's like. "Tfw your toxic dead ex's gross intent to bring you back to life actually formed a will of her own and now she's showing more love to you than he ever could"

Like i literally would not put it past b*llas to even know that Margulis' favourite flower is the lotus. He loved her sure, but did he respect her as a person with her own wants and goals? Absolutely not!!!!!

Meanwhile Lotus who is a sentient AI who wasn't supposed to develop any feelings in general is using her Sentient Rationality to preserve Margulis' legacy. Her helmet hiding her eyes being a recognition of Margulis' blindness already speaks so much more to Lotus' respect of her than b*llas who wanted to wipe any evidence of "Tenno meddling" off Margulis and her appearance.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery and all that. Lotus never sought to change Margulis; b*llas set the bar so low that Margulis met Lotus and was like "Yes, accepting her love is healing for me actually. Wow i love not having to convince people of my hopes and dreams. I've never felt so validated by someone else in my life."

Lotus was born from the intents of a controlling father and a toxic jealous ex... It still gets me that the quote that represents her in The Sacrifice is "Dream not of what you are, but of what you want to be."

And sometimes what you want to be is a big ol lesbian robotgirl who kisses other women :3

From one space mom to another.

Technically done for the Valentenno contest where I genuinely DID intend for this to be a cheesy meme card but. This composition... This imagery of Lotus dragging around a ghost of Margulis by her hands... It would NOT leave my head. How could I neglect so killer a concept for a comic sans valentines card?

Anyway. No regrets; Lotus nation forever <3

[ghost-excalibur]

Margulotus it is 🤝

Since the New War I also started thinking Hmm, those too are 🌈🤨

We have lesbian space moms and gay space days (Albretch and Loid), we are truly winning

Okay how do we call it? Margulotus? Lotulis? Natargulis? Margulah? I NEED A SHIP NAME TO SHIP THEM

To be honest, it feels easier to use Lotus instead of Natah, it blends better
