@ronqueesha — My friend, thank you so much for finally dragging me into 40k! It's always is such a treat to see your ficlets, blurbs and prompts for Nasosi (and Yrliet), and you've also helped enrich so much of my view of the canon with your lore posts that are incredibly helpful to my own writing. I often think about the occasion where Nasosi feels Yrliet's warmth by picking up her rifle, I'm just not immune to the indirect touching and Nasosi's whole conflict that goes along with it! ❤️

@lordcaptains — I have you to blame thank for nudging me towards Heinrix. Even before I could enjoy him from my own point of view, all your blurbs of him and Orica gave me such an appreciation for the character and I'm always so excited to see a new WIP, ficlet or one of your analysis of him / Orica / the pair show up in my dash. I have many favorites from you but the post ice event where Orica takes care of Heinrix is disputing for first place!

she's an iconoclast, which is why the righteous reflection was a bit of a jumpscare for her

she wont even wear the red lipstick smh

Keeping it spoiler free and very light on details for you!

Solomorne. Easily. There were so many parts of that romance where I squealed like a teenager, kicked my feet like a can-can dancer, spun in my chair, yadda yadda you get it. He and Heinrix can hit some very similar beats but are different enough in a way that really gets me and what I like in that type of romance, both in the highs and the lows. And the lows especially I feel were things I kinda felt dissatisfied with in regards to Heinrix so Owlcat letting you be genuinely in the shits with the romance was delightful. Were I tempted to make a second Rogue Trader, it would be for him.

rogue trader asks

[11] Who amongst their retinue are they closest to?

Outside of her main love interest, Lilith is closest to Idira Tlass and the Haneumanns. The Haneumanns are somewhat of a given-- as Lilith is machine-touched and has an innate affinity for those within the Cult Mechanicus. They understand some of her experience and she speaks their language-- a rarity among those not formally initiated. She most enjoys sharing art and music with Abel and discussing theology with Pasqal.

But with Idira, Lilith finds her brash and candid way of interacting with others refreshing. She seems to be the only one on the ship that treats her as a full person-- and less as a walking title. Comradery, laughs and a good drink are things that she finds in Idira.

Though, if they were to meet when Lilith was an active Commissar, their relationship would be much different.

[12] Who amongst their retinue do they clash with the most?

Jae and Abelard are the two that Lilith most frequently gets into spats with. Abelard and Lilith have a similar disposition of being headstrong and unwilling to let their opinion gone unheard. There have been many occasions where the Lord Captian and her Seneschal have openly argued on the Bridge. So frequent are these yelling matches that some of the upper deck crew members have created a betting ring as to who wins the next argument and who would throw the first punch.
