It's Pride month ye filthy mutts.

That's right, for the entire month, I task you all with being the smuggest little shits possible. Become insufferably gay and piss off your Handlers, and when they ask?

Just say Pride Month and refuse to elaborate.

Disobeying orders to get more kills? Pride Month

Alternatively, indulge in the rest of the sins!

Refusing to go on missions? Sloth Month

Hoarding all the spare mech parts? Greed Month

Eating Handler's sandwich from the break room? Gluttony Month

Topping your Handler and calling her Good Girl? Lust Month

Punching your Handler? Wrath Month

Bullying the Ace pilot your Handler always pampers? Envy Month

Point is, have fun and make your Handler fill out more paperwork because of your actions. It's time for YOU to be the problem.

Mannnnn being a mech tech in a mechsploitation setting must fuckin suck.

Depending on the actual series, mechs can range from:

A truck on legs

Evangelion-esque biomechs

Hyper-experimental synth muscled humanoid

A drug induced hallucination some mech designer thought was a good idea

A handler's idea for her hound's new chassis

Or worse, something the Hound came up with on their own.

Hell, some of these may all exist in the same setting. And it's up to YOU as a mech tech to fix this shit. You're not a doctor, you don't know how to patch up a living being's 300 pound lung beneath several armor plates. And don't even get me started on the 'personalizations' the handlers and hounds come up with.

Suuuuuure, for the people using these mechs and hounds, seems like good kinky fun, but how about we tone back the feedback on the guns so that there's less mess in the chairs next time, okay? Someone has to clean those...

Hey Y'all in the mechsplo space,

Can we not be fucking haters for trans men for like, TWO SECONDS?!

I will remind all of you who follow me, like my work, and reblog my shit, that I am NONBINARY, I am NOT a woman.

TME/TMA bullshit y'all keep posting is just another attempt to force folks like me into boxes, and I'm fucking tired of it.

If trans men want to explore mechsplo? Fucking let them! Open your goddamn minds, we can get weird shit from more perspectives and enrich the damn genre, y'all who've followed me for a while know my opinions on pointless gender locking of things.

Fun fact! In Third Gen Blues, one of the first three pilots was initially going to be transmasc, but I changed my mind and have decided to save that idea for another time. One of the supporting cast is Nonbinary, a full body cyborg, and exclusively uses they/them. Hell, the boss of the main group of characters is a guy AND a former Handler, and so far his backstory has yet to be delved into.

This is probably going to piss people off, but can we just stop fucking infighting with other goddamn trans people for five fucking seconds? Is that really so much to ask of y'all? I'm tired of watching queer spaces I like devolving into infighting and no-shit actual bigotry against other queer people. It's exhausting.

If you're following and reposting my stuff, I at the very least expect you to behave.

P.S. thank you to those of you who DO know how to behave and not be bigots, it's appreciated. I have IRL trans masc friends who've gotten a lot of hate, and it hurts seeing places I hang out in use rhetoric that is hateful towards said friends of mine.

Welcome to the Hangar!

Hey y'all, Skelly here, I'm the bitch who runs this blog.

I'm the author of Third Gen Blues, a mechsplo story of pilots trying to find their humanity, and I run the ongoing blog series Tales Of The Hangar Crew!

The main character of this blog is Hangar Queen, a disgruntled former Hound mourning a love they never recovered from. There's also a bunch of side characters, who will show up with differing text colors, so keep an eye out!

The vibe is very old school forum/comms posting with lots of grief and emotions.

Stick around, read my freaky webnovel, and enjoy the blog!

Locking character archetypes and genres to specific genders and sexualities is cowardly.

If i wanna write mechsploitation with women, men, and enbies, then goddamnit i will and all the whiny bitches will be unable to stop me.

Sidenote: If you're writing a ttrpg where you are gender locked, and then have a sidenote of "oh i guess enbies are allowed, so long as they follow this strict gender archetype", fuck you. And no I'm not gonna vaguepost, fuck you Dungeon Bitches, enbies aren't women, and if you're forcing me to play an enby as women-lite only, you're just perpetuating transphobia. Thanks a lot.

God I'm so fucking tired of everything being needlessly gender locked.

[thehangarqueen]

God i wanna get absolutely railed by a woman who snuggles me and calls me good girl.

I also want to be that someone.

The pain of being a switch...

Update: I fucking hate Kelly(temp agency)

I love getting gaslit by a temp agency after being fed a line of BULLSHIT about a potential job, only to get there and be told there was no job opening and that I've been getting lied to for two weeks.

Don't use Kelly, this shit sucks ass.

[thehangarqueen]

Ah god my brain hurts from writing too much...

https://archiveofourown.org/works/83615696/chapters/222818246#workskin

the first three parts of Chapter 9 have been uploaded, for a total of 8k+ more words!

Now for the downside.

As previously mentioned, I'm starting at a new job next week, so mechanized sesbian lex story will slow down a bit. But eh, I never have a schedule for this shit, just pure madness.

Enjoy!
