... That's the good stuff

Also I can't actually say anything, I am forever known as the "can dish it, but can't take it" writer of my friend group. But come on, writing the POV character's sister dying and then becoming a ghost in both her Jaeger AND her brain, one that loves her, and the other that screams and gnaws...

Yeah, fair. I just looked at what happened with BT as that story's 100.00

Even if it's not nearly as emotionally punchy.

Also I am getting the impression that I should be afraid for Crash and Valor (they just transitioned through Cataract 5)

Fair, I just know one in particular

I know who this is about

The fact that Chuck Tingle went from being a person who half the internet joked about, to being one of the most treasured authorial icons of this generation gives me hope that despite our current state, humanity can still heal and improve. Love is real (and Refused are Fuckin Dead)

(for clarification, I'd like to point out that this was not intended to be snarky or self-important or anything. I realized later that it could be read that way)

I mean it's a valid tactic! See: Vi Arcane, Reacher (though I guess to be fair, he solves most problems with the power of being large)

You're not the first person I've spoken to who didn't know, but a) I found it very funny considering SF, and b) I always check for post credit stuff in video games for specifically that reason. I do know one game whose writers I will never forgive (Horizon Forbidden West [I still love the game])

I mean at least BT survived, even if he was stuck in Coop's helmet. There are worse fates for dear friends.

Also I'd throw Gypsy Danger on the list but I guess she's not really a robot. Also that name has aged poorly and I feel weird typing it, even if I adore the movie

(forgive the crappy screenshot, I'm on my phone and can't find the original so I just had to screenshot a sticker from discord)

Flork of Cows sock puppet with ERA bricks slapped on, with the caption: "immortality."

In my mind's eye the Urbie had hands for some reason, it's fine lol

Also I never played TF1, only the sequel because I was told it had an amazing single-player story. And they were right, BT was a treasure and I love that game very much.

As for the ERA:

Final post, and I'll shut up: I've rec'd Steel Frame a hundred times, partly because it's just a fantastic book all the way through, but mainly because that final page, that final text, haunts me still, all these years later. Just thinking of it chokes me up

Follow-up: I'm only just now reading Origin Complex (I didn't know it existed for a long time, and my attention span and ability to focus is very bad) and I still haven't figured out Valor's deal, or I'd have posted it, too lol

The neat part is that I didn't even know there was art of the two of them until one of the multiple friends I badgered into reading SF bought a physical copy and sent me that picture. In my mind - in spite of any descriptive text - I always pictured the Juno as an Urbie from Battletech

Lol easy

A plane from the 1930s that looks like an eagle made of copper wire

A front angle of the plane, its wings wide and horrifying

The plane’s snout

a piece of the plane that looks like a mouth screaming in victory or terror or both

“Did you finish building the plane?”

“Yeah man monstrous and humbling just like you asked”

I did a fanart. I can't remember ever doing fanart seriously, but here's my #catradora print

@ya-girl-static.bsky.social look at this bitch

Happy 35th birthday to the talented AJ Michalka.

She’s the voice of Stevonnie in Steven Universe and Catra in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Same playbook they used with Eddie Gallagher in the US.

Hand-drawn illustration of Adora from She-Ra in a sketchbook, shown from the chest up in a determined pose looking to the side. She has blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail and wears her red and white uniform with a high collar. The drawing is colored with pencil, pastel and marker, with soft shading and clean linework. A black marker pen rests beside the sketch on a wooden surface.

MIA for a bit (work trips, plague era, repeat.)
Still alive though. Shenanigans resuming shortly. ✏️
