Julia Wicker, Penny Adiyodi, Margo Hanson, Eliot Waugh, Kady

oof. Okay…. 

Julia Wicker: Legitimately she is a top five characters of all time character so this one was an easy choice. She’s fiery, brilliant, strong, funny, and literally a goddess BECAUSE SHE WAS WORTHY OF BEING ONE. Like she was given a spark from a MONSTER, and by helping people and being good it grew and turned her into a full on goddess. How is she not everyones fave tbh.

Penny Adiyodi: I just LOVE HIM. Like SO MUCH. Both versions of him, i LOVE. He is so sarcastic and grumpy, but he is also somehow the most self sacrificial of them all. He will put himself in harms way at any point just to save his friends, and then immediately deny giving a damn about them. Also he attacks toxic masculinity at every turn, and has the best fucking style holy shit Penny Adiyodi Style Icon. 

Margo Hanson: Between her and Kady I had a hard time, but Margo won out in the end. She is the kind of woman I hope to be, honestly. She is intelligent, driven, and gives absolutely NO fucks, while also being unwavering in her devotion and love for her friends. She became High King because she took the time to have conversations with the least valued members of Fillorian society, and always forges her own path. I love her very much.

Kady Orloff-Diaz: Kady is so broken inside it hurts my soul. She has so much anger, and pain, and she does an excellent job of perfectly balancing shoving it down so no one sees and lashing out when its totally unrelated to her actual pain, and here in this house we love an emotionally unavailable angry woman who isn’t sure how to handle her pain, but would literally always do anything for her friends. Her love runs so deep, and spreads so far, and it’s remarkable to watch her grow this season into the leader of the Hedges. I’m so proud of her, and I hope she finds love that sticks around, because baby girl deserves it. 

Eliot Waugh: Honestly, and this is going to be a very unpopular take, but Eliot is my least favourite main character (not including Alice, who i just can’t stand). He’s wonderful, and i adore him, but I never pick him over anyone else. I think he adds this vibrancy to the story, and has such a big heart and kind soul, and I love him, but he’s just not my fave.

1k! That's amazing, congrats!! I'm torn between wanting some spacekru dynamics and angsty memori, so how about both wherein murphy picks a fight with raven and emori defends her?

Thank you so much!! Angsty memori!

We were built to fall apart

“If I could just,” Raven mutters, through gritted teeth, “get this to work.” 

“Nobody cares, Raven.” John drones, tossing a baseball they’d found in one of the remaining rooms of The Ark at the wall and catching it. The dull thuds are making Emori lose her mind and she’s the one who’s tolerating him the most. She can’t imagine how the rest of them feel. 

“John,” Emori mutters, stretching out a leg to kick him. She grazes his shin and he doesn’t look at her. Just keeps throwing his stupid ball. 

“Shut up, Murphy,” Raven calls, not looking up from the controls. She’s known him long enough to not let him get to her, but Emori can hear the strain in her voice. She’s frustrated. They all are. John is just the only one taking it out on everyone else.

They sit in silence, while Raven types furiously at the computer. Emori was helping, but it’s gotten too far beyond her skill level for her to be any use. John’s only sitting in here because he has nothing else to do. A

Raven let’s out a frustrated groan and slaps her hand against the table. Clearly whatever she’d been trying had failed. 

“It’s okay,” Emori soothes, moving to stand beside her. Raven isn’t tactile, but she likes the proximity. 

“Smashing the computer isn’t going to help anyone,” John mutters. “Or is it the return of crazy-computer-brained-Raven?”

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Raven snaps, spinning her chair around to glare at him.

“Chill out,” Murphy mutters, standing up and finally abandoning the baseball. “It was just a joke.” 

They stare after him for a moment before Emori gets up and is following him before she’s really registered what she’s doing. 

“What the hell, John?” She asks, when she catches up with him. “She’s doing her best.”

“And yet we’re still up here with no communication and no way home in two years?” 

“It’s not like you’re doing anything to help that situation,” Emori snaps. She regrets it for a moment but then decides he needs to hear this. He needs to know that he can’t treat people the way he has been.

“What would you like me to do?” He snaps back. “I’m not an engineer or a scientist or a leader. I can’t do any of the shit you guys think is helpful. So excuse me if I try to pass the time with a little fun.” 

“John,” Emori says quietly. She’s never thought about it like that. She’s never considered the possibility that he wants to help. She just knows he hasn’t been. 

“Just forget,” he mutters. “Go back to your new family.”

She watches him walk off, wanting to follow him with no idea how. 

Send me a ship and a prompt and I’ll fill it with a tiny drabble! I don’t want to link my celebration post because Tumblr is the worst™!

Congrats Kat! Such a big milestone and you totally deserve it, your blog is amazing and you're the sweetest 💌

Babe!!! Thank you!!

What I love most about you is how positive you are. I don’t think I’ve seen you involved in any fandom drama, and it’s honestly so, so refreshing. You are one of the sweetest and most unassuming people here because I feel like every time you get tagged in something by me or someone else, it kind of surprises you? When it’s not surprising to me at all that someone as kind and as caring as you gets attention. I only wish you got more of it! ♥️
