Just finished the audio book for Ancillary Justice, here are my favorite moments from memory.
Its about a grief crazed war ship on a suicide mission to kill the God Emperor after being forced to kill its own captain and being stranded in a 'human' body :)

The Common Denominator Of Existence Is Loss
2008
50,000-year-old extinct cave bear paws, human hand bones, stretched and pulled audiotape of the earliest audio recording of time (experimental clock, 1878), 19th-century mourning ribbon, bocote, shellac, glass
42¾" x 47 ½" x 47 ½"
I don't think I have to elaborate on this honestly
Nobody is online so I’m gonna talk here but like. I cannot get over how much of a backwater hilly billy shit show Nilt must have been for Seivarden like?? Imagine going to the fucking Everglades but it’s frozen and also just snorting a whole bunch of coke on your way back from Miami and you’re just laid up in a fucking crab shack off Alligator Alley and you wake up face down in the parking lot and realize you’re in Palm Beach like the fuck did I get here and then some goddamn CIA agent comes and kills some people while you’re crossfading and drags your ass with her and all the sudden you’re holed up in some shit shack outside of Okeechobee with some yahoo doctor and a goddamn kid and now there is a goddamn GUN but you don’t even give a shit cuz you’ve lost your buzz then you get punched in the face like that’s what Nilt was for Seivarden, for reference.
For just a small bit of extra context, you were an officer and a gentleman in Queen Elizabeth I’s navy before this. The year is 2015.
Breq is underrated as fictional AIs go because her solution to ‘all powerful space empire ruined my life’ was: gun
You cannot overstate how much that was the beginning and end of the plan. The all-powerful space emperor asked if she had co-conspirators waiting to take control, or if this obviously doomed assasination attempt was actually an intricate plan to politically undermine her. And Breq said actually I just thought I’d shoot you with this gun.
Love that for her.
Just going “mmm, no, that sounds like I would get bogged down in the schemes and the plots, and I don’t have the interest in that, I just want to shoot you dead to demonstrate my unhappiness and satisfy my desire for vengeance”
“I don’t have time for schemes or plots” she says as she spends literal decades moving step by step through a complex plan that involved maiming people, executing a coup for funds, falsifying her identity, tracking down a fugitive hiding from the empire, and lying to some posh assholes, all for the purposes of going up to the all-powerful emperor and shooting her with a gun. No, of course there wasn’t more to the plan after that! She wasn’t interested.
image ID: a meme of two blurry people. one is running from the other and labeled “ancient, functionally immortal emperor with thousands of bodies.” the other is a black silhouette floating in the air labeled “one AI with a gun.” end ID
my favorite part was when someone heard her plan and asked “she has thousands of bodies, how are you gonna kill all of them” and breq was just like *shrug* i’m gonna shoot at least one of them with this gun

Halfway through Ancillary Justice, loving these idiots:
Seivarden: you jumped off a bridge for me, this means something. I'll quit drugs for you.
Breq, with 3/4 broken limbs: i hate you, if steal my shit I'll break both your legs.
"If that's what you're willing to do for someone you hate, what would you do for someone you loved?"
Again black and white version under the cut as well as some sketches I made of the characters in preperation for this piece!
"'Five years ago it was noncitizen. In the future, who knows? Perhaps not-citizen-enough?' She waved a hand, a gesture of surrender. 'It won't matter. Such boundaries are too easy to create.'"
A very loose rendition of lieutenant Awn's conversation with the head priest in Ors.
thinking about Awn/Seivarden again and going crazy again
Awn is the person Seivarden thought Breq was (extremely competent loyal soldier born to a lowly house who Does The Right Thing). Seivarden is the person Awn feared Skaaiat was (shallow, complacent, self centered aristocrat).
Growing up with your starters

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:
Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.
Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.
Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.
Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.
Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.
Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!

Ok ok ok coffee shop au though. Seivarden is on like month four clean and set up with a stupid job on a stupid station selling stupid bitter bean tea to stupid uncivilized hicks who wouldn't know real tea if it bit them on their stupid ungloved hands and she is this close to saying "fuck it" and spending the total savings from her minimum wage earnings on a raging bender but also she doesn't because of Mysterious Asshole Stranger. MAS is an arrogant jackass. She calls Seivarden her personal name straight off her nametag like they know each other or something but also has yet to introduce herself. MAS hums constantly in a voice like she's been gargling rocks for the last thousand years and Seivarden has a lot of time to listen to it because MAS is a regular who comes in every morning and does Amaat-knows-what on her handheld for literal hours but also Seivarden literally does not care because MAS speaks fluent Radchaai in an entirely understandable accent and Seivarden is desperate to figure out what the entire fuck her deal is. She doesn't even wear gloves. Is she Radchaai and doing the equivalent of vacationing at a topless resort? Is she just weirdly good at languages? One time MAS watched Seivarden struggle to get the stupid automated cart with the shitty-tea-bean delivery to work for twenty minutes before standing up, picking up a 40 kilogram bag under each arm like it was nothing, and walking into the back with them. She was singing a song about horses the whole time. What is her deal.
Meanwhile Breq has long since passed "why is Seivarden here and alive" and moved on to enjoying making Seivarden bring her tea while using Space Google to figure out whither next on the hunt for the Fuck Anaander Gun
I am currently being oppressed by the Libby holds queue for Translation State >:( have this Breq speedpaint from back when I finished Ancillary Sword

it’s been a really long week and it’s only Monday. Someone tell me something about Seivarden
barren-and-trivial-words
Seivarden wishes Radchaai had class pronouns (like gendered pronouns but for social class) so she could missclass people she wanted to snub
I was going to say I thought this was canon and then realized I was thinking of Breq wishing she could misgender people in Radchaai lol. but you are definitely correct on this
@donut-interact She desperately wants to fuck Breq and then make her tea after. Yes I know you already know this. Yes it needed to be repeated
:thumbs up emoji:
aboxthecolourofheartache
in a world where fancy long cigarette holders exist, I imagine Seivarden would use a fancy long cigarette holder. she would twiddle it irritably between her fingers, blithely unaware she's the root cause of 70% of the unbidden Suggestive Hand Dreams anywhere she goes because she is furiously calculating the odds of Breq thinking she's sexier *without* the fancy long cigarette holder. Vexing.
hey this is vexing me just imagining it. well done. is it hot in here
alastair-made-me-undo-it
remember that time she managed to sell an inoperable ship she didn't own in a language she didn't speak so that she could buy drugs? and then was so tired from the effort that she needed to go have a little nap for 7+ hours in the singular bed she was sharing with breq, and didn't actually buy any drugs? we love to see it
in a way I am really sad that AS immediately placed Brevarden in a context they were intimately familiar with and competent within because I would really love to continue to see them blazing their way through deeply alien environments and situations with their uniquely endearing combinations of unhinged effectiveness and disastrous failure. imagine like. Provenance but with Brevarden bulldozing their way through the plot lol
