Priz fixing up Mark-3. Started doodling last night and couldn’t stop.

I’m really proud of this pic and I want to show it off but also like. Don’t feel good about this place anymore. And I hate tumblr for that. I’ve had this blog like 12 years.

Anyway check out Priz fixing up Mark-3, I love them

My partner said that Mark-3 should have a Victorian suit and then made it happen! It turned out so cute! Look, Companion has a little hat too!

You can find them over @foxglovecove

The main characters of Midway, the Space Raccoon story.

A few notes:

The Minu have one pronoun: they/them. They tend to form family-like groups called “warrens,” which is also the word of a place where Minu live. These warrens could be considered polycules, though it’s not uncommon for people in the Warren to have only a platonic relationship with everyone else. Partnerships for reproduction aren’t necessarily the first priority, but the Warren does all collectively help raise children born into it.

i’tiq’s pronouns are it/its only in Tiqtiq, the mutually intelligible language spoken primarily by the Shkt, and auxiliary by everyone else. The Shkt don’t think about gender as an assigned thing that’s immutable, but rather something that comes with the job a Shkt performs. In the languages the Shkt speak on their home world, i’tiq was a mechanic/handybug*, and on the Station it’s an archivist, both of which have different pronouns.

* - the Eathlings call the Shkt bugs. This is almost always affectionate

Mark-3 and Companion are two entities that inhabit a robot body. Mark-3 is the computer that gained sentience with the help of a stray fungal colony that grew on its motherboard. They built the body together, and are eager to explore as much as they can. Mark-3 is very cautious, but still eager to ask questions. Companion is a living 100 Gecs song.

got a idea and rode a wave until it was finished

“PEOPLE WE KNOW”

By Mark-3 and Companion

M: That’s Priz. I used to be his computer and then I gained sentience and built a body for myself. I think he took it well.

C: I helped!

M: Companion helped.

C: Priz is good guy! He gives me scraps sometimes for nutrients.

M: He gives you scraps? When?

C: When you’re charging. Sleepy computer.

M: Quinn is a good listener. She lets me tell her all about the things we’ve seen.

C: She knows about the stars!

M: Oh yes, she knows all about stars and planets and space. She tells me about them when I ask.

C: She says they’re going to find home! But not where we’re from.

M: I’m from the midway. Are you not?

C: Stowaway. Came a long way!

M: Oh...

C: This is a big guy!

M: Doraka is also very kind. They’re friendly and they also listen a lot.

C: So big!

M: Doraka says we are part of their warren. I told them that I probably didn’t count.

C: They said you were being silly. A silly computer.

M: They offered to take me with them to different places. So I can go see The Station.

C: I’ve seen the Station. It’s fine.

M: When did you see the Station?

C: ... So tall! Look at them!

M: i’tiq helps get me parts I need, and helps repair me when Priz doesn’t know how.

C: i’tiq has lots of hands and also it painted a picture of me!

M: i’tiq is a very good artist.

C: And I am beautiful, good for art.

M: Priz calls i’tiq a ‘bug,’ which is a name for kinds of insects on Earth. But it is much bigger than them.

C: There are little i’tiqs on Earth?? Small friends??

Gipsy Danger - Mark-3 American Jaeger

Gipsy Danger has served the Pan Pacific Defense Corps with a record of nine confirmed Kaiju kills. It is a Mark-3 class, standing at 79 meters tall and weighing 1,980 tons.

Gipsy's 08FS/Oceanic Cooling vents maintain temperature and channel seawater through the circulatory coolant system; 98BD/Hyper-Torque Drives allow Gipsy Danger's muscle strands increased locomotion. Gipsy's Nuclear Vortex Turbine maintains health checks and returned radio chemical readings in excess of safety parameters. The turbine can also be utilized to fire a directed heat weapon powerful enough to puncture completely through a grappling Kaiju when fired at point blank range.

Equalizing the Jaeger's movement are 10KT/Gyro-Stabilizers, which allow for smooth bipedal motion and stabilize aggressor feud. Gipsy Danger also features two rear jets which allows for an increase in forward movement for a limited amount of time. They can be used to aid in the the Jaeger's ability to leap into the air, quickly decreasing the distance between it and a kaiju to land a melee attack.
