    love to hear it

    yeah exactly! exactly! khadija is great, love that she’s getting her enemies to lovers story in her middle age. she deserves it. and sieglinde deserves a chance to try and redeem herself, and also get her OWN enemies to lovers story! love these middle aged women getting a chance to shine!

    hadn’t elena already been born when marina first met leda? but what a beautiful thing to imagine, why not have hope? also in general idk what the correct way to refer to a trans woman as ‘the one whose sperm led to the child’ is, though obviously father is cisnormative and not correct. and ulyana and aaliyah are great, 100%

    she can be gay and way too forward, as a treat. i do love all the omenseer lore, extremely fun

      I have 0 social energy like 90 percent of the time but my stamina for discussing Unjust Depths is endless basically

      She is and yeah same, again the intergenerational vibes come through strong and wonderful. I desire to see her hang out with the young’uns due to this, every time she says about “the new generation of warriors meant to take her place” and shit. We love to see it!!!

      Yes I think she had but counterpoint: I forgor :) the idea that Konstantin was fuming and buttmad because he got cucked by a transbian covert agent is so fucking rad, y’know? Would also explain why Erich seems to disdain Elana, uh okay new headcanon! niko-happy I’m not sure either, I was kinda hoping Unjust Depths would tell me :)

      Omenseers deserve little treats!!! I like how there is one aphotic sea horror per plot-relevant ship currently, this is going really well & the Brigand’s crew just expanded in very fascinating ways.

        hell yeah me too

        yeah! i wanna see more scenes like the one where she mentored shalikova! lots of potential, she’s not in my top 5 characters but is one i always love to see more of

        hmmm yeah. i agree, it’s much more fun to imagine this and marina just not believing it to be true. and yeah idk. if the union hasn’t figured it out i really have no idea what one might blurt out when theorizing there

        yeah it’s fun! the brigand keeps taking on new passengers it didn’t really mean to, but it’s great to see. i hope they end up needing to somehow build more rooms to house all the people they pick up

          Love to see it!!

          I think broadly as well, I just wanna see more inter-crew interaction on the Brigand, such a fascinating collection of gays to chat!!! Aw don’t make me choose a top 5 characters though, I will not choose a favourite child cri

          Yep you cannot remove my headcanon, Marina is just a chad and can’t handle it madeline-smug beloved. There has to be an answer to this but Idk either yaw.

          SHIP MAINTENANCE AND EXPANSION, BRIGAND GETS A NEW DECK soviet-huff The blueprint originally had a third floor, so it’s actually plausible that they could add a Dedicated Gay Housing level.

            you do indeed love to see it

            absolutely! wanna see more interpersonal interactions forever, but it’s probably for the best the plot keeps moving. i wasn’t gonna, but since you brought it up who are your top 5? don’t need to be in order

            misread as Dedicated Guy Housing and was like “well i would describe some of these characters as funny little guys (maryam mostly, but i could be convinced of arabella) but i don’t think any of them are guys”

              Yeah but my slices of life :c Ffffffff uhhhh… Sonya, Norn, Murati, Ulyana, Zachikova, if pressed at gunpoint. I’m fond of Marina, Aaliyah and Khajida as honourable mentions as well. It’s honestly easier to carve out characters I dislike though, that list is two, maybe three long tops.

              Funny Little Guys like how newfound oceangoing wildlife is Funny Little Guys :) lol

                imagining a world in which there was a bunch of really good fanfic of unjust depths so i could go there for all my slice of life needs and sighing wistfully. speaking of did u see all the art dropped in the discord today? some really good stuff in there and i think none of it is spoilery other than the one that is properly tagged. also my top 5 (not in order) are sonya, murati, ulyana, elena, and a character you haven’t met yet

                yes absolutely. but also they’re just silly with it! no one else on the brigand is silly enough to be a funny little guy, you know? there are funny characters, but they aren’t funny little guys

                  Trying to manifest that world by writing fanfic with filthy disgusting headcanon pairings because I said so. Some of the background characters that’re knocking about (VAAAAAAAAALYA) are ripe for this, there’ll always be a spot in my head that’s marked “Khajida is Valya’s dommy mommy and they’re a good little enby” because that just tickles me tbh. I could write for Unjust Depths’ setting (extremely broad and detailed, but with lots of wiggle room) a lot if I could surmount the mortal terror involved.

                  I did, and uncritical supoort that’s a neato Murati, but it is sort of weird (for me) to see Depths’ cast rendered in like 2010s Pixiv style, I guess. Depths only really wears its anime influences on its sleeve at certain fun key points, (screaming to nobody whilst driving ur diamond chainsword into an enemy mech) so it sorta fucks with my head, Idk. I dig this Khajida rendition however.

                  Idk I think Arbitrator might be a little silly herself =) but Maryam is the foremost funny lil guy tbh. Also I adore that there are STILL high-tier characters I have not met yet.

                    sicko-yes
                    rn all the fanfic is i think just porn, and while i support peoples rights to read and write smut (and i have been known to enjoy it myself at times) i would also like some non-porn fanfics! like i wanna just see murati hanging out with people and having a conversation about like economic theory or something. or like, a big au about what if some minor changes happened (like if ulyana left a note saying “i am being summoned by the commissariat, do you want to get lunch after?” or something to that effect) would be fun. i would love to read any fic you wrote! i hope you can surmount the terror, but also i relate and would have the same problem

                    that’s true. in my head they are in an anime style but it kinda looks like an ova from the late 80s, early 90s. like, probably not legend of the galactic heroes but maybe patlabor? stardust memories? one of the more grounded and naturalistic in character design ones. the main difference from most of the art is they don’t look as shiny. the second majida (not khadija, she’s the anti-imperialist hero from that one intermission. fan favorite, she really made an impression) is actually pretty close to what they look like in my head tho

                    oh arbitrator is 100% silly, that’s why i included her in the list of funny little guys. there’s 1 character you haven’t met who’s in the top 5 and another who’s in the tier just outside that, though for very different reasons. you’ve got almost 4 whole episodes plus an intermission before you’re caught up! there’s some good characters in that space!
