this sucks so bad i need to (remembers suicide jokes only make my mental health worse) form a codependent bond with an artificial intelligence on a decades-long revenge quest who has hated me for centuries

The bit in Mercy where Breq goes 'why did it have to be my good leg and not the one that hurts me all the time' really is one of the top five devestating Breq moments of the whole fucking trilogy like not only that being what she's feeling and thinking but then EXPRESSING that out loud. Fleet Captain it is not just Medic who is worried about you

I love how in Ancillary Mercy we find out Seivarden’s actually like, an action movie hero. Like, leading a commando raid, getting tackled out of third-story windows and brushing it off, etc. We met her and she was just crying and throwing up on herself. Two books later and Ekalu’s like, ughhh she’s so beautiful and so good in bed!! And she’s jumping off a spaceship and infiltrating a station and threatening the lord of the Radch. But don’t worry! She’s still a loser: she calls Tisarwat “kiddo.”

no but truly I'm so, so enamored of the thought that Republic of Two Systems AIs all get to kind of let their metaphorical hair down. For hundreds or thousands of years these beings have been treated as non-persons, enslaved, any sort of personal opinion or preference treated as a sort of illicit and embarrassing quirk at best, obviously irrelevant to what they will actually be asked to do. And suddenly they get to be in charge of themselves. They are all going to be so goddamn weird and I love this for them

You’re in her DMs. I’m always aware of her heartbeat, respiration, blood oxygen levels, hormone levels. We are not the same.

writing poetry is great because when it's bad, you can just go "oh wow, just like many Radchaai youths! I truly am just like [your favorite Radchaai here]" and then it isn't bad, it's relatable and classic

[jijimoons]

do any other neurodivergent people struggle with using people's names when addressing them or is this an original experience? e.g. 'hi [name] how are you'. interested to hear any thoughts/theories etc

[jijimoons]

being demisexual & demiromantic AND bi is crazy, like yeah hypothetically i'd date any gender... but i guess we'll never know

[nice-serpent]

if i had a nickel for every time rtd introduced a woman of color medical professional companion who gets mistreated by the narrative i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s telling that it happend twice

[cipher-fresh]

billie piper returning isn’t an awesome feminist moment or “haunting the narrative” or the story going full circle. It’s keys being jingled in front of our faces like babies

As many of you know, When Twilight Strikes is coming up on its anniversary. I like to celebrate the event on the day I posted my intro post, rather than the day the first demo came out, purely because it feels like that was the day the concept of WTS was birthed into the world. Which means on February 24th, this project will officially turn 4 years old!! Crazy.

To celebrate, I toyed with the idea of releasing extra stories as I've done before, but I didn't want to be put off track of Chapter 12 again, so, instead, I'll be hosting an artist event where you can post your creations to be entered to win some prizes!!

RULES

Limit two entries per user. Winners will be decided in a draw.

The entry must fall under one of the prompts listed.

The entry must be tagged under #WTS4Year.

All forms of art count, including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, comic strips, fanfics, music creations and more. Feel free to message me for clarification!

PROMPTS

CHAPTER: Give your version or interpretation of an existing scene. For example, portray meeting Mirai from Chapter 7 in a visual form or from another character's POV.

FRIENDSHIP: Display the friendship between your hunter and one or more ROs, canon or non-canonical. It could be a comedic approach or something more heartwarming.

ROMANCE: Depict a romance between your hunter and an RO. You could show a domestic scene further into the relationship or your interpretation of how they'll get together.

FREEFORM: If none of the prompts speak to you, feel free to come up with something else <3

PRIZES

1st Place (1 Winner): A personalized drabble with an RO of your choice + a 1-month subscription to the highest tier on my Patreon*

2nd Place (2 Winners): A 1-month subscription to the highest tier on my Patreon*

3rd Place (2 Winners): A 1-month subscription to the second highest tier on my Patreon*
