Where I scream about the very gay space-age-of-sail Sideblog of @magnetarbeam (Autumn, she/her, trans) dedicated to Daniel Orrett's The Sojourn

I've always thought Rather Be was a very obvious Cassabeth song.

I made a fan title sequence for an audio drama I've been into lately, The Sojourn!

Go listen to it it's very good, queer age-of-sail sci fi with amazing worldbuilding and a realistic-ish take on physics!

Me (about my mutuals): they don't even know... they don't even know about the guilt-ridden nepo-baby lesbian...

[oswinoswald15]

Please, tell me more

[measured-robshearfan]

There was a war, not too long ago, and in it, because her father is an influential Admiral, she got a position where she was in charge of a bunch of troops. And she fucked up big time, so now she doesn't really trust herself with any power and doesn't want to be in positions where her decisions might be what decides between life and death for other people, but what she wants even less is for someone else to have to bear that impossible responsibility, so she accepts these roles anyway.

She is also a lesbian. Her girlfriend smokes. In space. Don't worry about it.

When the first Tripathia-class breakdown came out, I, like many others, bemoaned the lack of point defense as not making any sense in a setting where missiles and fighters exist.

Even now, I'm not a fan of that bit, but having to rely on the fighters to shoot down missiles is a lot less of a problem if that's most of what fighters exist to do. Like, they're not gonna be off doing bombing runs or whatever in combat.

And, as we've also seen, Tripathias have other countermeasures.

[kdfy-2709-hc]

If the main use of torpedoes, especially in major engagements, is to keep an enemy ship occupied with shooting down the torpedoes while you reposition or something, I can kinda see how outsourcing the point defense might make that less effective?

Like, if auxiliary craft are designated to shoot down the torpedoes, it's less of a distraction for the crew of the capital ship itself.

[kdfy-2709-hc]

I love how all the worldbuilding in The Sojourn emphasizes how absurdly expensive the paragravity systems are, and then set up that the Temperantia-class uses those, albeit more sparingly, in its crew accommodations.

Just helps drive home the point that the designers didn't think anyone would ever actually build those ships.

[theemeraldwings]

I imagine that the design process of the first- and second-rate ships of the line involved differing levels of KDFY going to its engineers and saying "design a ship you would build with infinite budget".

[kdfy-2709-hc]

I can only wonder what extent of that we're gonna hear about with the Tetrarch-class.

[kdfy-2709-hc]

Headcanon: Cass figured out that she's a lesbian because she had a giant crush on Hawker back in the Frontier War.

the Sojourn has been fun so far

"Holy land, with Her we stand" The love we teach, violence we preach "Knives in hand, we're innocent lambs" Don't you see? All of these pretences are petty ironies
