Uncomfortable encounter.

// just give me one more horizon

// uncover the signs, they come in waves

// they’ll be brighter than you ever could imagine

Is your woman wet or creepy or a malicious entity preying on your insecurities after having already devoured your soul perhaps

Ink Stained Stars Chapter 3

hii I finally posted something that's halfway decent! In this chapter Orikan talks at length about his past!

Read it here:

[inquisitor-gayfax]

actually, now that I can't stop thinking about it, it wouldn't be toxic yuri at all.

what would it feel like to lose your soul and gain so much more, only to be deceived and destroyed and used and ignored, then have the scraps of you reborn into the flesh vessel you once escaped? to be subordinate to that small will, have it fill in the missing pieces of you while you each struggle for some semblance of independence, only to realize you are forever entwined, the only ones truly capable of understanding each other? to eventually come to accept you are no longer two separate selves, but a new, unified whole?

idk i just think they're neat.

I feel like necron Tumblr might appreciate my idea for a fic in which Orikan agrees to resurrect Helynna Valeria in exchange for having what remains of Vishani live in her head rent free, thus making Helynna the only human in (arguably) the galaxy's worst polycule, and establishing the perfect setup for slow burn enemies to lovers toxic yuri taking place entirely within her (their) head.

Trazyn: thanks so much for resurrecting my girlfriend :)

This day in history

This Monday (November 27), I'm appearing at the Toronto Metro Reference Library with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

On November 29, I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

Datamancer Vishani

To make a long story short, I have a shit memory and so I decided to make a reference sheet for the occasion that I drew her.

Credit

I was one hundred percent inspired by Athenasiuscorp, I love their art, It’s really flowy and imaginative. But I was also somewhat inspired by shrimp3000 on twitter. They made some small joke doodles and I liked their design so I kept it in mind when I made my own interpretation. And if there’s a chance that they see this ,just know, you funny 🫵 hope you’re having a great day.

And now

To beens, I gave her to beens. Weird lobster robot beens, but nether the less BEENS! I also decided that the small beens are extendable so all off the legs can turn into hands when needed. A vary practical thing when you are a multitasker.

Oh yeah I have also head cannoned her as a multitasker. And I mean it’s not to farfetched to imagine. Her tail is also a bunch of electrical cables and cords that she can plug into computers.

I made this design for my own (I suppose) EU in my head ware the story of 40k takes a very different turn. A story ware Vishani returns via elaborate but still plausible men’s, ware she gets a physical from and mostly all of her mind back. A word ware a new faction emerges, bringing with it a new age of change for everyone in due time.

[alex-leweird]

I know a lot of sad characters that are robot-like, have time related powers and are still in love with someone that is dead to know that Orikan will fuck up the timeline and the universe in a future.
