shalikova is getting her girl! love them so much. arbitrator i is like the opposite of sus, would you not immediately trust a beautiful girl who popped out of the flesh of a monster you pulled in from the sea? i love zachikova’s weird relationship with her, it’s very funny. and yeah! ulyana is making progress!
this is such a good moment for norn. like, yeah! she’s about to beat the shit out of gertrude, but i think what she actually does might have hurt gertrude worse. gertrude is SO pathetic, it’s astounding. there’s a really fantastic piece of art of gertrude at this point in the story and she looks wretched. just completely broken. if i can find it i’ll show you
and yeah, selene is really kinda fascinating. just a completely alien way of viewing the world to me, but it’s also really sad. she’s a little weirdo and i’m kinda rooting for her? not like, to win in fights, but to figure out her place in the world. and yeah she makes a good rival!
Much love for the various bits of relationship progress this chapter. Also uh Idk, uncritical support but given that she’s from the same line of Omenseers as the one that’s currently piloting the world-ending Dagon fleshboat, uh I dunno yaknow =) “I arose from the primordial sea, I have psionic ability beyond your ken, have sex with me funny robot lady!” I do like that Zachikova is sort of getting ‘awakened’ in relationship terms by her, and I do like fish lady, but I don’t really trust her motives. I’m with Yana on this one, a positive force for now but highly suspect…
It’s incredible, and the mental breakdown Gertrude has in the brig afterword is even sadder. “Hours must have turned into days into weeks”, but nah 14 hours, you are just weak willed, inquisitor. She has reached roughly the right conclusion through completely wrong means: Yes, your career was built on blood and guts just to get gf. Yes, you have no commitment and no ideology without gf. Yes, it is roughly the edifice of Empire and its stratified social castes which kept you from gf. So now she is going to murder every ruler in the empire, which lol. At least her uncomprehending fury is pointing in vaguely the right direction? But she IS wretched. I do not approve of her using a rebound-puppy! Ingrid is equally as pathetic but I feel really bad for her!!!
I dunno what it would take for Selene to quit being weird and sad, her worldview is so broken and warped. Theoretically Norn is one of the healthier people she could have as a mentor, but her brainworms are extremely terminal Idk. I still don’t understand why she desires to be ORDAINED A DESTINY BY DIVINE RIGHT or whatever, it almost feels like I’m missing context for her that I should have…
yeah lmao. arabella is not exactly putting the most trustworthy foot forward! but i still love everything with her and zachikova, even if it’s definitely wise to keep an eye on her. on the other hand if zachikova is enjoying herself who are we to judge!
absolutely. gertrude is maybe the biggest failgirl in the story. hopefully she kills a lot of rulers though, that’d be fun! and yeah she’s so awful to ingrid, you can’t play with her feelings like that! also i found the fanart! look at this wretched creature
yeah idk what it would take, probably being captured by the brigand? but that seems unlikely at this stage
also i started rereading 9 to double check when shit happened and make sure i wasn’t referencing future things and i got sucked in and am halfway through the second intermission now
It’s not that I think she’s evil or whatever, like Hunter III is good people, Omenseers can be good people. I guess she’s only really A) saved the Brigand from agarthic death B) tried to… uh it’s the overly-enthusiastic sexual advances that give me pause, I guess. Zachikova seems sort of mixed, like she clearly wants to know more before they bang in public, and yes me too!! I am curious to see them talk, & stuff. I also assume Arabella has a bigger motive for getting onboard the Brigand than just loving Zachikova, like she’s at war with other Omenseers or something, but I could be wrong?
Tbh, if she just turns her rage around and crashes the Iron Lady into the Fueller castle, or obliterates the Volkische or whatever, that’s the best action for her now. Ingrid deserves better :( Also lol nice, yeah that’s about correct. #1 failgirl ✨
Idk if that would even help, like Selene is so actually deranged it’s not funny. Wants to be needed by Norn…
Yeeeeeah :D it’s engrossing, I read it in huge chunks whenever I’m goofing off at work.
joining a submarine crew and getting mad it isn't like unjust depths and i don't get a meet-cute with a lesbian disguised as a nun
oh yeah i absolutely get you. zachikova is definitely at least a little too confused to be completely on board at this stage. we do get into her more very soon!
yeah that’d be ideal probably. though not ideal for ME because i want to see the drama when her and elena run into each other again! i want gertrude to feel even worse and elena to try and fix her!
yeah… i feel bad tho… i wanna see her happy!
yeah i read the whole 2nd intermission (really good! super interesting stuff that’s kinda similar to the first one but also i like it way more) and have started episode 10 lmao. it’s really engrossing, that’s definitely the right word. i have been reading it while i should be doing other things
It would be killer recruitment material for a navy, you cannot deny...
Looking forward to getting into spooky fish lady more very soon!!!
Okay c’mon you are brutal, you wouldn’t really wish that upon our freshly communised princess would you? Elena so does not deserve to be saddled with the task of trying to fix Actual Human Trainwreck Gertrude. It might be funny, it might also be very sad, hmmmm…
I do not have enough investment in Selene personally to want to see her happy, Idrk who she even is or where she came from. Did I skip a chapter?
Nice, pacing aside I liked Intermission 1, I’m hoping the squeakwuel gives us updates on characters who have long since vacated the plot: Yangtze, Victoria Van Veka, Sawyer, the anarchists and the Khaybar Pass shimii, Erich. I desire to see them again!!!
well i would feel very bad for her but i think she would like to try and have that closure and also still loves gertrude despite everything. and also it would be very juicy and sad. oh shit a new piece of unjust depths fanart relevant to this just dropped today (gertrude and elena)
she’s just part of norn’s crew, i don’t think you missed anything. idk i’m a sucker for this kind of sad girl who sucks like that
it’s more structured than the first in a way i like, but there’s still a bunch of that broader scope world stuff, as well as some new bits that are very fun
Ugh I feel so bad for her, I wish her childhood-friend-to-lover wasn’t a hot-garbage failgirl racist with a controlling streak and uncontrollable anger issues! The drama, the juice!
Okay well wtf :/ I want to understand what is wrong with her brain, y’know? I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on that for everybody else, Idk.
hell yeah

if i could join the union navy i would

incredibly vague intermission 2 structure spoilers
it’s more structured than the first in a way i like, but there’s still a bunch of that broader scope world stuff, as well as some new bits that are very fun
Only navy worth joining :07:
Ugh I feel so bad for her, I wish her childhood-friend-to-lover wasn’t a hot-garbage failgirl racist with a controlling streak and uncontrollable anger issues! The drama, the juice!
