Finally a new Lego scene starring everyone’s favourite Corries.

I mean I think this is all fairly normal, lmao.

Featuring Fix, Fox, Shap, Thorn, Reef and Hound.

Fox is not taking any of Toasts nonsense.

Reef thinks it’s hilarious.

(And the pink hasn’t quite faded from his hair yet)

Wait wait wait, the Corries have a HERB GARDEN? Ooooo

Yeah they do.

It’s not huge and it’s not that sophisticated, but they managed to get some boxes and some soil and some cuttings and they tried to grow some flavour for their base.

It didn’t go fantastically at first. With no natural light inside the base and they had too many concerned to leave the little pots out on the landing padd.

But with a scavenged UV light they managed to solve the light issue and with practice they worked out how much water their little plans needed. Some of their friends on the lower levels were happy to offer some of their own herb cuttings for them to start growing and they got Fox’s permission to turn one of the meeting rooms into their little garden once they started growing more than a few little pots worth of herbs. They had issues with power outages cutting their heat and lights before but usually they don’t last long enough to damage the plants and they have to focus on other things.

The herbs don’t really help with the nutricubes, but they make the mush much more tolerable, and several of the things they grow Fix commandeered to make drinks out of. Teas for sleep (“drink it Fox you menace”), warm drinks for vode out of the icebox and just flavoured drinks for relaxing that were not plain water or bitter caff.

Reef is one of the vode who helps look after it and she’s been a part of the little project since the start. Also helping are Tundra, Squash, Toast, Bubble, Pup and Kepi as founders and anyone who wants to help a volunteers. To make sure it keeps going. Along with herbs they’ve also started growing a few other things, or at least trying to. Some of their attempts were total failures, due to temperature or watering or the wrong soil, but they ended up with some good smelling flowers and herbs and flavour in their food and while some vode like de-stressing in the rec room or the side room in the med bay or any of the other soft quiet places they’d set out, Reef and a few others like the quiet fragrant herb garden to relax.

Thanks for the ask. I loved it.

Trying to list which Corries would say ‘whoopsiedoodle’ and which would not.

So:

Pup- yes

Icecap-yes, though usually it’s oopsiedoodle and followed by a loud crash from the supply room.

Hound-yes

Stone-no

Fox-yes but only when nobody can hear him and he blames his little siblings

Thire-no

Thorn-yes

Fix- he was ok with it until Skinsuit said it during a surgery… it is now banned from med bay.

Skinsuit- yes, except when in med bay, thanks Fix.

Cirque-yes

Reef-no

Tundra-no

Slinky- definitely

Velt- no

Mac-no

Kagi-no

Glimmer-no

Shap- absolutely, coined the phrase.

Opinions?

What other words would the Corries be split on? Hmmm.

Three new Corries for you all.

Firstly we have Reef, another biome Corrie. She has long hair she bleaches blonde and got her name after Tundí read an article about coral reefs on Mon Cala being bleached. Ink made a joke about the corals being bleached just like her hair and Reef became her name. Reef has fantastic music taste, her vode will disagree but she knows her taste is good. She also helps a few other vode grow herbs for the bases cooks to bring some flavour to their nutrimush.

Secondly we have Icecap. Icecap learned glaciers exist and never looked back, though he’s yet to actually see one, it’s his big dream to actually see one. Well, it’s his big dream to go to a university and study and actually get to work studying them, but he tries to be realistic. Icecap was crushed to realise that another term for a Cirque glacier was a Corrie and that he’d missed it when he chosen his name, but he stuck with Icecap. He decided to save Cirque for someone who needed it.

Icecap named Cirque a month after he joined the Guard.

Cirque came from a front line battalion but was reassigned to the Guard after a hip injury that left him desk bound. He struggled with fitting in, with adjusting to his new disability and the truth about what was happening in the Guard and he found himself really struggling to feel like he belonged or get over his guilt. Especially the guilt, because in his mind he still considered himself GAR and the GAR had only made things harder for their Corrie vode.

His old name didn’t fit, he couldn’t do the things he’d always been able to do, didn’t have the friends he’d always had. That version of him was gone. But this new version of him didn’t feel right either, he didn’t feel like he deserved to socialise with the Corries or that they’d have wanted him there when he was an outsider, a part of the GAR that had been bullying them totally ignorant of the truth. He was really struggling to see himself as one of them.

But Icecap is very stubborn, especially about looking after vode who spend a lot of time alone and don’t lean on the support their vode offer, and firstly Cirque made the mistake of letting Icecap inside his guard. Icecap named him Cirque, for a powerful body of ice constrained by its environment but able to shape the landscape it had access to. It took a few days for Cirque to discover another name for a Cirque was a Corrie, but he actually found he liked it. For the first time since arriving, it felt like it fit.

Happy trans day of visibility.
