Hollywood and Aunt Vi are hands down my favorite relationship on tv right now. I love seeing black women being loved upon and cared for. Hollywood is just so good at always putting Aunt Vi’s needs and wants at the forefront. Ugh, I joke about this all the time, but seriously where is my real life Hollywood?

No request or question, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your writings! Especially the Charley/Remy ones. There aren't many fics about Queen Sugar (my favorite show), so thank you.

You are so very welcome. I wish we had more fics in the fandom because this show is absolutely everything. I’m actually going to post my next Queen Sugar fic tonight. All the real world stress of today led to a very productive writing day.

though i do use 'benny gecko' for tagging purposes, i don't think benny actually has any last name at all.

i also don't think benny is short for anything. he's got one name. and that's it

Which companions would you say Katie has the best relationships with and why?

Hiii thank you so for this question :D apologies for both how long this took to respond and. also for its length in general LMAO

So overall I think that katie forms pretty close bonds with everyone. I think she just has an intense attachment style. lol

But - her closest friends are Boone & Veronica, and also ed-e, being the first companions she acquires. I see the three of them (and ed-e) as being the core that the eventual final group of everybody forms around.

(I also like to think about how the rest of the team (crew posse etc) forms relationships with each other, outside of kate/the courier. there's so much opportunity for fun dynamics betwn these ppl. the lack of actual canon interactions between everybody just makes me want it more. like…..they're friends and they're camping. thats my favorite stuff)

more rambling under the cut✂️

A little more specifically about veronica, boone & Ed-e:

Veronica: I imagine that kate and Veronica are Besties. When they met, i think they baseline just clicked immediately. kate is a goofy, rambunctious sort of character, and I think veronica would appreciate her silliness and her antics. Like truly I think this girl yearns for antics. And Kate is an unserious person to a fault. So, I think their relationship brings out a silly side in them both, like they encourage silliness in each other. The classic 'When we hang out neither of us is holding the braincell' type dynamic. They're Girlies. Two late-twenties Girlies who just want to have fun!! They also have some kind of... complicated *cough*gay sort of codependence thing going on.....yk how it is.........more on that later

Boone: Boone is the first human friend kate makes. They immediately bond over their shared "kill on sight" beef with the legion. He's obviously not super quick to open up, but i also think that him and kate agree on a lot. They're on the same page most of the time. And since he doesn't usually vocally disagree with her, she takes it seriously if he does. Kate is a pretty hotheaded person and extremely stubborn. I think boone is the one person whose advice she consistently actually listens to. And, though kate is a compulsive yapper, I think she appreciates quiet time just like. Hangin out with boone.

ED-E: that’s her baby boy. Her first recruit and most trusted confidant. She fixed him up and immediately imprinted on him. Reverse duckling style. She takes him everywhere. (Sad for me bc he's hard to draw lol) once she gets her hands on that camera it's nothing but ede pics

i love thinking abt this stuff. Thanks again for the question. <3 yippeee
