From a hatch in the floor next to the engine, the Engineer—Wina—popped up. Her hair was staticky, and the air smelled like electricity and magic. “I didn’t break her,” she said. “I saved the ship.”  “So why are we out of the stream?” “A little ‘thank you, Wina, for saving my ship’ would be nice.” “Thank you. Now what happened?”

--from The Fire Between Stars (The Ember Arcanum book 1)

Yeah I agree, emotional is really good and probably my favourite and not joking is also good. But overall the album is kinda eh? Its definitely gonna grow on me over time ik that tho lol but its definitely different than their other stuff

Calling all folk and/or pop punks!

What are our thoughts on "You Are Who You Hang Out With" by the Front Bottoms?

Not Joking and Emotional personally hit me pretty hard. I wish the album was messier like their older stuff, but over all, I really enjoyed!

Also the beginning of Fake Gold absolutely killed me. If you know, you know.

Thanks for the tag, @gummybugg!

This isn't quite last line, because I've been ADHD bouncing around between a bunch of different scenes, and now I've got a bunch of half finished paragraphs and floater lines. But anyway:

["...] You seem to know your way around a map. Got any other suggestions?” Maeve leaned in to the captain’s map, scrolling through the route and making a few tweaks. The captain nodded along. “I mean, if you think it’s worth the risk. You sure know a lot about Taros’s holds for a lady’s knight.”  Maeve’s neck prickled slightly. “Uh. Yeah—” and by the wall, Cassian gave a derisive laugh. “Of course she does, she was one of their soldiers.”

would you mind telling us about your architects?

SDA: Of course. My architect, Golden Thread in an Ornate Tapestry is...

SDA: ...was…

SDA: …a person of many talents. Her interest in art and fashion allowed her to become a well-known designer. In addition, they were tasked with my development, and dare I say - she did great.

SDA: She was …. a lovely person to be around. I’m proud to call them my friend.

BROS: (What they won’t tell you is that she became an architect mostly due to their mother’s status…)

BROS: (… who happens to be the main engineer of Vastness of Silence…)

HS: Eleven Claws, Eternal Grace. Though he usually went by just “Grace”.

HS: While there were those who deemed his approach to some matters controversial, he was an important figure in the scientific community.

HS: His team and I worked hard to help him fulfill his visions.

BROS: (Habitually Stargazing has too much respect for his creators to admit Grace was not a very pleasant person to be around…)

TFB: Spring after Storm, Ruby Blossoms Flourish.

TFB: There isn’t much for me to say about them.

TFB: They pioneered a couple of gene alteration algorithms, I suppose. Many of the creatures in my area are the descendants of their experiments.

BROS: (Flowers wasn’t very fond of her creator, though I believe she never spoke of this disdain directly. She continuously worked on her tasks while they were still around.)

BROS: (Oh, my turn!)

BROS: This is Quicksilver Rains from Dark Clouds! We usually called her Rains. Or Clouds, or Silver, or anything in between.

BROS: As you can guess, she’s my architect! Legend has it she built me due to her dissatisfaction with the quality of medical care in the area.

BROS: Rains strived to improve the quality of life of those around her - though she’d never admit she actually cared about them that much! She was a rather reserved person, but if you got to know her and her sense of humor, it was great.

BROS: I do miss her at times.
