Battlewinner is such a cool character and I feel like she should've deserved way more time. Like just conceptually the idea of a lost queen, the ruler of the once highly regarded and prophetic NightWings, reduced to living in lava to survive. She had gone into battle herself, a duty practically unheard of for a regular queen, and came out with an IceWing having shot frostbreath straight down her throat. From then forth, she's been stirring and plotting within the streams of magma within the NightWing volcano, biding her time until they can rise from the darkness and claim what they believe is rightly theirs
She's a wicked cool character conceptually and I wish she had like more than two scenes lol. Like look at her in the official art!! Woawhh!!!!

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.

Okay, before I talk about au stuff-ART FIGHT HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!!

First two are for @rose-petal123 next is @princess-self-shipping , @clawcakes , @sweetkiller690 , @camilieroart , @anixolt , @artilite, @krdrawsnext two are both for @kazehita
