::: spoiler unjust depths! yeah i remember having forgotten a lot of the characters from the brigand at this point as well. thankfully it does a pretty good job of reminding you of the important bits, and pretty firmly establishes the whole cast in a way that sticks because we get to spend more time with them. shalikova's great, i love her. she's just like me fr fr

geninov is obnoxious and kind of a creep but like everyone in the cast she has her moments. i would absolutely take shalikova over her any day though

and yeah the brigand is just really good, lots of time spent on the day to day workings of the ship and the people who make that possible, lots of really great slice of life moments. it's got a great sense of place. i wouldn't mind you going on about it forever, but that would get in the way of you actually reading anymore lmao

Oh my god this shit is soooo goooodIt does true, we also have a lot of new buddies including "I'm a living machine" Zachikova (which, I'm assuming that's more of an "I identify with my metallic/electronic bits and it fucks" rather than a self hate thing) and Unjust Depths' very first enby, Valya!!! Awwwh man I'm excited to have None Biney in this tbh :) The scene where Murati was monologuing about how cool &rad & diverse her diver squad is, followed by introductions, was awkward in a really endearing way. Shouts to Sameera for not being a dog of the empire comrade-doggo It's so dorky how loup wag their tails all the time, makes me giggle.

She is LITERALLY ME, denji-just-like-me I'm excited to see what Shalikova's deal is whenever we do.

Oh wait, so I'm not just being an asexual buzzkill, and Genivov is actually an obnoxious creep? Uh oh that's a baaad sign, worse than I thought basil-anxious-smile

The author is actually really good at giving locations substance generally I'd say, like we spent maybe seven chapters in Vogelheim but it basically felt like a pocket of royalty-fantasy undersea, quality stuff. Also I don't think it would, I sort of got the sense that I'm crowding out other people in the mega with more relevant things to say, (because this thread is like 50% Unjust Depths goodposting by volume) but short of that I could easily post an update every day, every two days. I didn't even talk about the Khaybar Shimii jihad because I didn't wanna ramble too long, or the anarchists, like I'm boiling over with thoughts about it and getting through 4-8 subchapters per day!

ikr????yeah i really like the whole crew of the brigand. zachikova rules, the whole diver squad rules, i love how proud murati is to be part of such a cool squad. shalikova is probably my favorite member but i do really like them all

ehh, a little? like, i think calling her a creep was probably a bit too far on my part but she's definitely horny in a kinda gross way. she's not enough of a creep that it's actually a problem, just a little obnoxious in her internal monologue

and that's true, i don't know that it's a problem as long as it's all spoilered for length, but i get it. i guess you could move your unjust depths posting to the main mega and then space wouldn't be as much of a problem. i'd need to start checking it more though, because i definitely want to hear your thoughts!

plus at the end of the week the trans mega is always kinda dead, it gets a lot of posting for the first 2-3 days but then it really slows down. imo it's not a big deal

I cannot shut up about this lol100% agreed, tfw you dont live on an undersea diver carrier with a diverse gaggle of rad n bad queers cat-vibing Need this type of thing in my life...

I'm glad I'm not totally out to lunch on that one at least, shit was kinda uncomfortable right after that shower bit :| Her thing with Fernanda is kinda fun at least......

Alright uh, yeah I spoiler posts as much for length as I do actual spoilers, not wanting to dominate the thread... But I guess megas do tend to go quiet after a few days so it's not terrible? Was kinda hoping some high-powered posting would bring life to sleepy megas blob-no-thoughts I guess I'll just keep posting here with your blessing ✨

Also, uncritical support to the Khaybar Shimii and their jihad against the goofy racist-ass anarchist Bosporans. Uncritical support to Majida leading said jihad. When u need allies against the imperials but ur guys cant stop being racist imperial freaks for two seconds and get their insides superheated by Shimii psionics trans-sad

spoileryeah, god. i think the brigand sounds like an unbelievably nice place to live, even with the whole secret spy mission thing going on and adding stress

and the khaybar shmii rule, it's so good to have a story that's willing to look at this sort of thing and go "no the people doing this are cool and good and firmly in the right." majida is so cool, i love her

You two are gonna convince me to read this. I just wish there was an audiobook version so I could listen to it while driving around for work.
