during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

I like the idea of Grace and Rocky trading pronouns after meeting each other.

Grace using He/Him for Rocky, and Rocky being like, “How quaint, the weird flesh bag alien is referring to me with social concepts unique to its species. I will wear it like a badge of honor.”

Meanwhile, when Grace gets to Erid and everyone refers to it with It/Its pronouns, Grace is thinking, “Finally. I was so tired of gender conformity. Now I’m just me.”

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

The original Rachel Lense progress pride flag at the top was shared by NASA in 2024 with the original images used for each of the stripes and a description of what they are (this was subsequently taken down but is on the wayback machine, as I linked).

From what I can tell, the intersex inclusive variant was made by Better than Ember using the same base images and adding the intersex stripe, but I haven't been able to track down which exact images those are (they look like they could be from something like HST or JWST or similar but I frankly did not want to try to figure out what exact stars we were looking at).

“It’s all right.” Lieutenant Awn shifted her grip, put her arms around the new segment, pulled me closer. It was shivering, still cold from suspension, and from terror. “It’s all right. It’ll be all right.”
