Ruikasa hater because every time sm1 writes tsukasa & ignores saki’s existence to make rui more important to him im like (extremely loud incorrect buzzer) u have already failed to understand tsukasa tenma.

#also the importance of emu + nene for them both #but I think it’s borderline impossible to divorce tsukasa’s character from saki #given that like. his relationship to saki is foundational to his personality/world view lmao #also I want u to look at like every ruikasa moment in canon because for like 70% of them #it’s rui saying some gay shit and tsukasa going 👍🏻 ok im gonna talk abt saki now #even in pandemonium…#rui: let’s go walk along the river tomorrow :) tsukasa: saki would like that #but tsukasa without saki would just not even be the same character. look at me. do u understand.#there’s a reason literally every au I’ve ever made has to include saki to some capacity…#soul eater au & CPDB/space opera aus are rui pov and u will still be learning abt what saki is up to #bc tsukasa does not shut the fuck up abt his sister ever #begging u guys to be as insane abt platonic relationships as I am it’s fun #mine #tsukasa

Endless List of Queer Book Recs Part 4: Lady Eve's Last Con by @ryfkah

I knew I was getting gays doing crimes going into this but I wasn't expecting that it was JEWISH gays doing crimes and I was absolutely delighted when I found out. Ruth, the protagonist, describes someone as having a face like an etrog which is a) a very sold burn b) not something a goy would ever think to include. Also features a romantic interest that wears suits and capes and possibly one of the few times the phrase "infuriatingly handsome" can be used to describe the sapphic love interest with perfect accuracy.

Space opera is back!

Three months after the Indomitable returned home, Theo’s cybernetic body is failing. Yaz will take any job, perform any task, to save her. But Theo’s mission lies beyond herself—Division is still pulling the galaxy’s strings, pushing the Alliance and Gallifrey toward war, and she’s determined to stop them. And keep her work secret from Yaz.

#my fic #doctor who #thasmin #space opera au #the chaotic arguing space gays are back!#also they’re idiots

2024 reads / storygraph

The Principle of Moments

start of a scifi space opera series

a teen girl in the far future where humans are oppressed learns she has a destiny & a lost sister and escapes

and a young time traveler who’s given up trying to find his father through time, and is about to settle in 1812 with the prince he loves, but is unwillingly thrust into the future

they both learn their fates are entangled by a prophecy, and have to race across the galaxy, followed by a galactic emperor and the legacy of heroes from an ancient religion

#The Principle of Moments #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #this started off pretty good - interesting characters and worldbuilding; easy to read #but it felt like a bit too much was going on and I kinda checked out from the last third and didn’t care anymore.#It felt very much like the plot was just happening to the characters and they didn’t have much effect on it all.#It’s very classic space opera chosen one story! it’s fun and ambitious! a lot of doctor who vibes -#but also like if you tried to fit the entirety of timelord lore into one or two episodes haha.#It also had a couple classic space opera pitfalls.. like how this evil alien race was described as looking evil (in various ways). hm.#I actually really loved the writing style of the excerpt snippets in the beginning and would have been keen for most of it to be like that.#but also probably with the book being shorter.#there’s humor thrown in there that was sometimes funny but also sometimes awkward.#The time travelers speak very modern (despite none of it being set in the present) which like - obviously anachronism is gonna be inherent #to time travelers but sometimes it felt awkward. or like.. the other characters didn’t comment on it?#There were a couple moments that felt like a tv script gag that just came across badly on the page #gay prince romance was cute but kinda was thrown in the deep end then it’s barely relevant for most of the story.#The whole london subplot felt unneccesary. The random romance subplot the girl gets felt out of nowhere.#anyway it's decent! just fell apart a bit and didn't live up to my expectations

still can’t believe our space racing au got canonised in the form of the hermitcraft grand prix and false even won it all just like the au. also false and ren getting one of the quickest times on the course just like them winning in the au. their au lore is based on blue9 but now they’ve actually gone and won at racing. love wins

#exterra1 no longer a gay sport it’s a bi sport now #space opera au #it’s been like two weeks. still not over it

Queer, Found Family Space Opera!

I share a release day with CL Polk's "Even Though I Knew the End," which you can get *here* - https://www.amazon.com/Even-Though-I-Knew-End-

and you definitely should, because they're a phenomenal writer.

And if you want five books for the price of one, and a queer, found family space opera catches your interest, please check out my release! It's in hardcover as well as paperback and of course, ebook.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHXRZ8NP/

Summary:

Two best friends looking for love. An oppressive interstellar government. Adulthood has never been so stressful... For the first time, all five books in The Meaning Wars are united as a complete collection. In this queer space opera featuring a diverse cast, a found family navigates the politics of revolution and freedom. Join Crystal, a wormhole engineer, and Sarah, an English Literature graduate with a chip on her shoulder, as they try to find romance and friendship - while an oppressive interstellar government watches their every move. As Crystal deals with her faltering marriage, Sarah makes risky career decisions - by doing what's morally right. Running from the surveillance state of the Human Conglomerate, will the Interfederation's multi-species alliance prove their salvation? A crew of old friends and a union of renegade space pirates may be their way out. But first, they have to save rebel icon Patience Ngouabi from arrest and certain torture - and make sure they all get out alive. Fans of Ruthanna Emrys' A Half-Built Garden and Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series will love the cosy yet intense adventures of this crew of misfits fighting for political and social justice.

So if you want a distraction from the midterms, here it is! Read it, revitalize, and recharge. <3

Butch Borg Ellen Ripley and her captive turned defector turned girlfriend low level military clerk, man...

So turns out my favorite author Scott Westerfeld actually did write a canon wlw couple in one of his earlier works, adult space opera "The Risen Empire", and its so tragic and beautiful.

sOooo instead of reading Guardian or 大哥 like a normal-er person I decided to start reading 残次品 (The Imperfections) and even though I am confused out of my mind by the translation I am having the bestest time of my life
