The Expanse 3x01 ↳ Bobbie "Open Sesame" Draper
julie mao makes me so crazy because she’s so cool. like, a rebellious hotshot racing pilot (with literally one of the coolest ship designs ever) who turns against her awful, rich family and joins the cause of the oppressed out in the asteroid belt? just leaves me wanting more and more and more of her. and cherishing every little moment she appears in or is remembered in
Salem smash or pass Red Death/Razorback
Salem stared at the greyface and held up a claw. “Y’know, I can actually almost feel my brother’s panic at this question, but when it comes teh the Razorback, she’s not only strong, but she’s stalwart, loyal, ‘n’ an extremely protective mother. Honestly, I dunno if she’d be able teh stand a soft stone like me, but if we had a chance, I’d say smash.”
He gave a grin as he ground some minerals into a salve powder. “Heh, frankly from what I’ve seen, she makes a great mate, ‘n’ I’m definitely glad she was able teh find her equal in Draal. Two honorable warriors like them definitely deserve someone teh watch their backs like that.”
“ -- it is gone and gone and gone ....”
The Expanse - S3 E6
The Razorback has the progression of flight, the third from right to left would be Virgin Galactic VSS Unity I presume.

This small paragraphs gave me chills. You see, for me, Razorback will forever be Julie’s smart, beautiful ship. The pinnace was her pride and it ended up her legacy. She would have approved of the Razorback’s fate, being used in the same way she would have, flying in at the right moment, in the right place to save the characters and shift the balance in their favour. The fact that the writers made Alex say the same words Julie used in Leviathan Wakes makes this small moment so memorable. To her the Razorback hadn’t been the whim of a rich kid; it had been an achievement; and it continued to make her proud. I’m just imagining Julie smiling with delight and approval, entrusting Alex with the Razorback, knowing that from that moment on, he really understood what the ship truly was.

So... cat’s out of the bag.
I got to take the Razorback... for a spin.
When I visited set over the summer, my friend and I were given a rare and incredible opportunity to enjoy a few quick literal spins on the Razorback practical set. We weren’t allowed to talk about it until everyone saw it, and I didn’t even get the pictures and videos until last week. But given my trip, I have only just remembered to actually sit down and post them.
I DO have video, so you guys can see me cackle and babble in delight and nerves.
The Razorback pit crew were amazing and kind and made us feel really welcome into their space and safe on their ship. I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who made this happen. Even 8 months later, I am stunned as hell.
