I did intend this to be Spock but he just looks like a generic (pointy eared) dumbo rat 🐀

rules: you will be given a word, and you must share 1 sentence from your WIP/s that starts with each letter in that word! (for dialogue, feel free to include the descriptor as well)

Your word (and y'all are gonna hate me) is MAGIC. Happy hunting!

Thanks for tagging me, @js589

Quotes are from Space Rats, the novel I'm currently doing edits for and will (I really really mean it this time) be publishing in the next few months.

Marcello gasped as we pushed our way out of the steamy, greasy port and into the station proper.

Aptar was different.  It wasn’t made as a glorified storage dock.

Generally, my abilities are pretty great. I’m almost always right, and I’m right fast, which means I’m better able to fight or escape.

Carmen gave Drez an uncertain glance. I knew how it felt to be her age and have a sudden onslaught of powers.

That was actually pretty fun! Tagging @jadefyre @barbex and @dairogo and any other writers that want to do it.

Your word is FRIEND

“Sneak-hide amongst the Deathguard we will. Steal-take their warp stones for ourselves yes-yes.”

“Why is my guts-insides turning to slime”

“Incredible pain-agony I’m in yes-yes”

Okay... but I raise you: bil is a nosy telepath who ships them with smugass superiority

Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.

"You are my soulmate. We are forged together by battle and tears and love. Also my brother's coming along."

In the most 'Greek theatre' of ways, this is a tragedy. Tragedies are meant to teach onlookers: "See how these rich idiots, despite their riches, cannot escape the consequences of their actions, their hubris, and their defiance of the laws of common sense and decency? See their awful demise? Don't be like them."

One of the more common wishes I hear for 40k is the inclusion of Space Skaven.

A faction that sends unending hordes of thralls face-first into danger, with no regard for their wellbeing.

A faction that speaks in a corrupted amalgam of the speech of men and a screeching, chattering noise.

A faction that regularly stitches the living and dead together in horrid abominations

A faction that grafts dangerous, unstable technology to living flesh.

A faction which cares little for the lives and laws of men, only seeking their own goals.

A faction of backstabbing, squabbling, wirey creatures clawing their way to prestige and salvation.

All to appease a mysterious, ill understood god. Trusting their devices, gifted from this god and their own cunning, that in truth they barely understand.

Praise the Machine-God, yes yes.

The search of the rest of the ship was completed, and I stood beside Lieutenant Yee as my own quarters were searched.

I still wasn’t entirely sure what they were looking for, but they were thorough, turning out the contents of all my cupboards and drawers, scanning for hidden panels and voids. But this was no smuggling ship, and while I did have a few discreet storage spaces, right then I didn’t have anything in them. My only secret was in plain sight, standing right next to me.

“Your registration is out of Aptar,” the lieutenant said conversationally, as if we weren’t watching his soldiers paw through my most intimate possessions. He was young—older than me, but not by a lot. His hair was cropped spacer short, and it suited him, highlighting his strong cheekbones and dark eyes. I’d say he was the sort of man who was too good-looking for his own good, except there was a seriousness to him that made me certain he’d never charmed his way into or out of anything in his life. A pity.

shoutout to taigen for being the most expressive character in the entire show.

you will never not know whatever the hell he is feeling or thinking at the moment because he will literally tell you (either very earnestly like when he traumadumps to mizu or very sarcastically which is the other 99% of the time he talks to mizu) or you will see it plain as day on his face.

this is the textbook definition of a man wearing his heart on his sleeve. look in the dictionary for what a "simple man" means and you will find taigen's face there.

like once you cut through the massive ego and pompousness he uses to mask his own insecurities and traumas, he is literally just some guy. he's not evil or stupid. not super kind or super smart either. an asshole but not the worst there is. he's incredibly skilled but he's not the strongest ever or even the most skilled. he is literally! just a guy!

y'all can hate him all you want but let's be real, taigen is actually the most relatable character out of everyone. like this man is POOR, he is PATHETIC, he is COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME, and most of all he is OBSESSED WITH MIZU. if that shit ain't relatable idk what is.
