"This is Azi Narine of the planetary freighter ship Demeter 227. I am marooned on planet Vesta. Alone. Seeking Rescue. Is there anybody out there?" . A scavenger's reign piece I've been working on for forever! I love this character and her arc with Levi. If you have the means to watch this show, please do. I think it is one my favorite pieces of adult animation. It's currently on Netflix and HBOmax!

[oesker]

HEY HAS ANYONE SEEN SCAVENGERS REIGN????? im so obsessed

[bonnibatz]

While you’re waiting for Fionna and Cake season 2 you should watch Scavengers Reign!!

If you like Simon & Marcy, you will like them as well. They mean a lot to each other and their dynamic is enjoyable and their story is emotional yet beautiful at the same time.

If you like devastating love stories you’ll go crazy about them [I’m talking to you Simon and Betty fans. Imagine them 100x more toxic. This is them. They broke me]

AND BUBBLELINE FANS,, THERE’S YURI. THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO ME.

A family isn't always you, your survivalist mom and your supportive dad. Sometimes a family is you, your three moms, your robot/plant sibling and your trash uncle.

I’ve been showing my parents Scavengers Reign while I’m at home, we got to ep10 tonight and when Azi and Mia kissed my dad gasped and said “She [Azi] should be kissing the robot instead!” so I’m glad he understands the show perfectly

[s3znl-gr3znl]

I just finished watching scavengers reign and holy fucking god what an ending!!!!!! I genuinely was not excpecting the show to go the solarpunk route but im so glad they did as it was immensely refreshing. Also *SPOILERS*

LEVIIIII MY BELOVED absolute favorite character next to Ursula and Azi. Everyone in the show is spectacular and Kris is sooo well done too.

Im still trying to process what exactly happened between Levi and the Hollow that ate Kamen. But it was gorgeous and perspective shifting to say the least.

Also i love how everything gets a motivation, or at least one you can guess at, specifically the Hollow that ate Kamen trying to reunite him with Fiona and acting in a way that I interpret as "not wanting to lose Kamen the same way Kamen didnt want to lose Fiona." Both of them are rash and destructive and manipulative, however in Kamen's case he uses pity, whereas Kris is just a full on abuser/groomer.

Also also also im crying and screaming and throwing up with snot coming out of my nose for Ursula wearing the same color shirt sam was wearing at the end. Part of me wants to believe she went back for him eventually and then kept the shirt so she could take him with her in some small way. Other theories are likely of course but this one makes the most sense for me especially because the shirt does look a little baggy for her which is probably why its tucked in.

Anyway, amazing show.

10/10

5 more seasons please

(Its been canceled i know)

One final note is that for me, it felt like there were at least twice as many characters in this series just because of how alive and expressive this whole planet felt. It is truly a work of genius.

And gore, lots of gore! Beware guys

Just thinking about the fact that in Scavengers Reign, Azi's handprint from before the crash was still on Mia's cryotube months later when she was able to return and save her

The details in this show are so thoughtful!!!

I really like how Scavengers Reign pits individualism vs. collectivism through Kris and Azi, especially because Azi was a bit like Kris.

We see she’s rather introverted: she was a loner back at the Demeter (and pretty much all of her life), she didn’t want to acknowledge her night with Mia and she treated Levi coldly in the first couple of episodes; she could’ve gone down Kris’s self-reliant survivalism.

In my opinion, the reason she doesn’t is because Azi longs for human connection and she's willing to take the blind leap of faith an interpersonal relationship requires.

Mandatory spoiler warning™

Azi opens herself to Mia during the observatory flashback and Mia seems to successfully coax Azi into hanging out with others crewmembers; she accepts Levi's newfound conciousness despite not having a good answer for why it's happening, and both start building the bond she's longed for since the Demeter crashed.

Her worst time is when Levi’s destroyed and she’s all alone, stranded in Vesta.

Kris is always accompanied by her crew, but the dynamic of her interpersonal relationships with them is quite different. She relies on herself and they also rely on her; it’s a one way street paved with detachment. Every time she interacts with Terrence or Barry she’s leading them, demanding something of them. She never talks to them as equals and she always expects compliance, it’s subtle and that’s how it works on them. But Azi, who doesn’t hold any feeling of indebtedness to her, notices.

It's also worth noting how "cut-throat" a lot of her expressions are:

The way Azi treats both Terrence and Barry is a stark contrast to Kris's, but it's more noticeable with Barry. One of my favorite moments is in episode 9, when she trips and Barry gives her a climbing tip, which went on to a conversation about things each one likes. It's a small moment but it once more exemplifies Azi’s empathetic side.

I think Azi does become a substitute for Terrence, but, ironically, not in the way Kris intended. Terrence’s leniency juxtaposed Kris’s authoritarianism. He nurtured Barry’s childlike curiosity and didn't shut off Azi’s concerns about the survivors of the Demeter. When he dies, Azi fills his role.

Kris tries and fails to indoctrinate Azi into her individualistic way of survival. She tells her that the important thing is her, getting off the planet. But Azi refuses to do that at the expense of abandoning her fellow crewmates, whose lives hold inherent value.

I love the small moment when she checks on Barry after Kris leaves him because she shows more gentleness than Kris would and has shown. She has a surprising amount of moments like this: every friendly interaction she has with Levi, Ursula and her hugging after she saves Azi, her hugging Levi (2 times!), her reuniting with Mia...

When Kris leaves on the shuttle, it shows how conditional her loyalty is: the minimal deviation is enough to make her dismiss someone. We see this facet foreshadowed in her debut, when Terrence talks about settling down and very slightly teases Kris, which clearly irritates her and proceeds to shut him up.

Azi sees value in interpersonal relationships and connects with others through empathy and mutual respect. Kris can’t make such connections because her own self will always be her prime concern.

anyway in a hypothetical scavreign season 2 i picture ursula being the de facto leader of the vesta colony, with azi and levi as her closest advisors. azi and mia and levi are in a polycule and treating barry as their adopted son. they have basically given up hope of rescue and started learning how to survive and thrive on vesta when the cultists show up (with kris in tow) and start raiding the planet for resources...

oh god, they need to at least make the story into a graphic novel or something because i'm getting dangerously close to writing scavengers reign fanfic and i must be stopped.

[ramblesbiab]

every lesbian polycule has

- the traumatized buff cute butch

- the traumatized plant mom femme

- the probably a little traumatized, emotionally intelligent robot

- the traumatized little gremlin man they found within a psychic creature and decided to keep (he likes the plants)

- the recently unfrozen cute butch (otherwise she would definitely have trauma too)

[cacturnia]

had a dream about scavs reign for the first time last night so I can now proudly say i have reached new levels of obsession💪💪YAYY

[rowanthefierce]

a little scavengers reign soundtrack appreciation post for y'all. don't sleep on the show OR the music

format is "name on soundtrack" (my interpretation of what/who the music represents - some are not exactly What It Says on the Tin)

reblog and share your thoughts!!

my thoughts: personally I love Vesta's theme because the scene it accompanies is jaw-dropping. I also love the Demeter theme because, again, the scene it plays over is rich with world-building and putting pieces into place -- I get goosebumps during that sequence.

but all of it is wonderful. thank you Nicolas Snyder + the whole creative team behind this incredible show!!

[bonnibatz]

I feel ill. I love them. They are everything to me. Watch Scavengers Reign
