Various Battletech musings and writings

[ash-barks-battletech]

sooooo hi! my name is Ash (pronouns she/her, fae/faer, it/its), and i am a transgender woman who has been obsessed with Battletech for most of her life. even when i only knew it as Mechassault on my first Xbox, i've been obsessed with the mech design and universe it showed off.

i'm starting this blog because i don't think enough people know and love Battletech and i wanna get someone just as obsessed as i am.

please feel free to ask me any questions about the lore of Battletech, anything about the mechs, or about my custom mercenaries, the Lairbreakers!

Ahhh you see, the Steiner obsession with using Atlases and other assault mechs for literally every combat role is merely chatterweb memes and Capellan propaganda. The actual lyran trooper mech is the (checks notes) Zeus, a 80 ton assault mec- god dammit.

One of the reasons I like BattleTech so much is that designers knew it even back then - the crab is the ultimate form. Regular Crab, King Crab, they knew.

tbh i really wanna play tabletop Battletech more, i just don't know anywhere around me to go or anyone that interested in it. i'd even just play on Tabletop Sim or maybe Megamek (i really wanna learn more about how the system works more before automatic, though), but with how i know older tabletop communities can be about queer stuff... it just feels incredibly scary. but i wanna play more so... idk what to do
