This is truly so niche so be warned.

I HC Sissix from The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers as looking exactly like Madame Vastra from Dr. Who except with some feathers at the ends of her ridges.

Exhibits A-E

Also can someone please talk to me about my lizard lesbos 😭

[avogadro-toast]

I just finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and I was so ready to start the next one in the Wayfarers series but then after the descriptions I realized…all the books are standalones. We don’t get to read about the Wayfarer crew again. Which like yeah I’m excited to see where else it goes next but it kinda SUCKS because I’m already so attached to these characters!! I want to find out more about Sissix and Rosemary and Jenks and Kizzy and even Corbin!!! Like yeah I’m interested in where it goes next and I am satisfied with their arcs but I am kinda grieving bc I didn’t realize I had finished their stories.

Nightchord25: Kanade Yoisaki, Mafuyu Asahina, Mizuki Akiyama & Ena Shinonome

Wayfarer's Crew: Rosemary, Ashby, Sissix, Jenks, Lovey, Corbin, Dr. Chef, Ohan

Submissions are still open!

Nightchord25:

Usually in Project Sekai, I don’t really have any people I ship as a polycule,..well except Nightchord25. And there’s good reason for that too because there bonds with each other is just so…mwah. But anyways, why are they found family you may ask? Well they’re 4 mentally ill teenagers so plenty hurt and comfort there. There’s Kanade Yoisaki a girl who’s mom died at a young age and father is in the hospital because of stress. Kanade blames herself for her father’s hospital trip and compensates for it developing a savior complex, becoming a hikikomori who creates music in an attempt to “save people.” Her lifestyle is quite unhealthy as she spends most of her time creating music neglecting food and sleep. Next, Mafuyu Asahina the lyricist and arranger who has a “good girl” facade but in reality is unhappy and empty as she lacks an identity due to her mother’s manipulative behavior causing her to be a people pleaser. She’s spent her whole life pleasing others that she’s forgotten her own self, that she wants to be when she grows up? Well her parents want her to become a doctor but she truly doesn’t know. Thirdly is Mizuki Akiyama, the video editor. Despite Mizuki’s cheerful and peppy demeanor which contrast the other characters, Mizuki is an incredibly lonely person and is ostracized at school. This is because Mizuki is heavily implied to be biologically male despite dressing in feminine clothes. There’s a lot of debate on Mizuki’s gender identity but one thing for sure is that because of Mizuki’s looks, the students around them think of Mizuki as weird and strange. Lastly but not least is Ena Shinonome, the artist, Ena’s a very blunt person with a bit of a tsundere personality. Despite her outgoing demeanor she is also surprise, surprise, depressed. Ena has a social media account to that’s quite popular but what really matters to her more is her art account which barely gets any followers. Ena is an aspiring artist, wanting to become professional. But she struggles with her lack of talent as well as her inferiority complex because of her dad brutally telling her that she can’t make it in the art world and that she has no talent for it. Which…while I get what he’s trying to say as he is also an artist,..that isn’t exactly the best thing for him to do.Now that I’ve introduced you the cast, what’s there relationship like? Kanade has a special bond with Mafuyu as when Kanade and the others discovered that Mafuyu’s happy mask was a hoax and in reality she’s lost all hope and is empty, Kanade vows to help her find her true self which at first by creating more songs. Mafuyu denies the help but eventually gives in. Throughout the story Kanade learns to understand Mafuyu more and aaahh we see Mafuyu start to crack a smile every once in a while because of Kanade’s music. Kanade has also helped Ena by giving her encouragement with her art as Kanade genuinely likes Ena’s art and Kanade is the only person who Ena never bickers with. Mizuki has also helped out Kanade alot with them pushing Kanade out of her shell and making her go to places more. Mizuki finds comfort in n25 as they’re Mizuki’s only friends which why it hurts them so much as they fear that they will leave Mizuki if they found out their secret. In this way, Mafuyu and Mizuki foil eachother with Mafuyu being her true self with Nightchord meanwhile Mizuki hides their secret from Nightchord cuz of their fear of possible backlash. Both of them out on a facade one way or another. Ena ended up sensing that Mizuki was hiding something and in the end tells Mizuki that she’ll be waiting as long as Mizuki wants to tell their secret one day which makes Mizuki feel even more guilty. Now Ena’s relationship with the Mafuyu. At first Ena doesn’t understand Mafuyu. She doesn’t understand why she’d wanna disappear when Mafuyu is so talented which is something that she wants. While they definitely didn’t get along in the beginning slowly but surely they started understanding n being friends<33. There’s probably more I missed but I’m sooo tired lmfao

As a generally untouched and touch starved person I am having lots of feelings reading the second half of the long way to a small angry planet

[ultimateanthropoll]

Massacre Round 2: The Long Bois

Lord Arum (Lizard; The Penumbra Podcast) vs. Sissix Seshkethet (Lizard; Wayfarers series) vs. Nyorori (Snake; Eto Ranger)

Submitters say:

"sapphic lizard girl. we love her!!" (Sissix)

"Nyorori is the one of most ridiculous characters in the entire series. He is billed as The Smart Guy but he literally either does nothing or actively makes things worse, even in his own focus episodes. He has psychic powers, but only for floating slightly above the ground and moving gloves around to act as his hands. He dreams of flying. He nearly got everyone trapped in another world forever in their second ever mission. He unintentially committed plagiarism of a well known story. He's so full of himself that he uses his own name as a verbal tic, Nyorori. He's considered more useful in-universe for hanging out with than anything pertinent to the mission.  His image song is about him trying very hard to flirt with you. He's by far the most useless character. He's a fan favorite. He's Mugen's Best Snake Man." (Nyorori)

[necromycologist]

kind of a hot take but tbh despite his horrible cringefail racist nature corbin is SO interesting to me as a character. maybe the most interesting out of the wayfarers. he's just VERY, VERY angry in a way that the rest of the crew (and perhaps most of his own people considering what we hear abt Exodans culturally) just really aren't. he's a prideful git, he's overconfident, he's exacting to the point of obsession: he doesn't like other people, and they don't like him. he's very sure of where he stands, until he's not. he is abused and belittled for his origins, something completely out of his control, the same way he has belittled sissix and others and he doesn't change. he's still angry! he still doesn't understand the crew of the wayfarer, and he says as much. he's still not pleasant, he still has all the morals of an algae vat, but he's absolutely dedicated to helping the crew. and you can argue whether or not corbin injecting ohan is defensible or moral or fair until your face goes blue, but i dont think that's the point. he injects ohan and he sleeps soundly. he knows ashby is angry and he doesn't argue back. it doesn't matter to him whether or not they like him. he's content to be hated! he's absolutely certain in his actions! he is absolutely the same reprehensible git, the same egotistical control freak we meet in the first pages of the book. but even more, he is absolutely a member of the wayfarer family. perhaps not a wanted one or even a beloved one, but by god, he is there.

[firstofficerrose]

Something something Betty claiming the rest of the party as clan in Inn Between, Sissix claiming the Wayfarers as feather family in The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet... I love parallels, and I love it when found family is made explicit like that.
