Why I think Sissix "curing" Ohan would have been more interesting
So, I was in my Biology of Sci-fi class and we were talking about aliens. The professor said to think of some aliens we had seen and of course my mind went to the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers that I've read almost all of the books 2 to 3 times when I was in high school. And I always thought the Sianat pairs were such an interesting concept, which of course led me to thinking about Ohan, which then led me to think about how they were "cured". I think having Corbin, the guy that everyone already kind of dislikes, be the one to do the morally dubious action at the end of the book is an easy route to take. I understand why it was taken, as wrapping up the morality of that whole situation when you are trying to end a whole book would be hard and probably not give it justice. It also makes sense, as Corbin is known for not respecting cultures other than his own.
But.
I think Sissix would be a really good candidate instead, if it happened earlier in the book (still towards the end half when Ohan is really not looking so hot but not right after the climax). This wouldn't be out of nowhere as well, since Sissix really seems to not like the idea of Ohan dying and is very questioning of the situation. I don't know what the inciting incident of this would be tbh because Sissix is a lot more level-headed and I don't see her doing something as drastic. But it would be really interesting how the whole ship and readers would reconcile with Sissix, the beloved pilot and point-of-view character's love interest, deal with the fact that she violated a friend's autonomy like that. Now that I'm thinking about it she'd probably get fired. I don't know how Corbin didn't get fired, and that's probably because this moment isn't really treated with the justice it deserves as many people before me have discussed. Well, that's my word vomit that like two people will see. Hope it was interesting.
I HC Sissix from The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers as looking exactly like Madame Vastra from Dr. Who except with some feathers at the ends of her ridges.
Exhibits A-E
Also can someone please talk to me about my lizard lesbos š
I just started listening to the long way to a small angry planet
here are my first impressions of the characters:
Btw I'm poking fun but I am enjoying the book!
Rosemary: Disney Princess learns how the poorsā¢ live
Ashby: Dunno too much. Captain...
Dr Chef: THE MVP BESTEST AT ALL THINGS (I head-cannon him with french accent because chef)
Jenks: Halfling Bard
Kizzy: Undiagnosed ADHD
Corbin: Undiagnosed Autism (I like the guy, I feel a sort of kinship, too bad he's a space racist)
Sissix: Cool older cousin
Ohan: Diet mentat
Lovey: Tied with Dr. Chef in first place. I have a soft spot for robots in love.
Also this is the review that got me over the fence in starting to listen:
I don't get how Rich (I'm shocked its not white) guilt is true. To my knowledge humans aren't the hegemonic species.
Also though I don't think the book portrays humans as the most aggressive species (as far as I know ATM) but I do agree that the comment about all human games being about conquest is a bit reductionist and Eurocentric. I think that Humans are Space orcs does a much better job on that respect.
I just finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and I was so ready to start the next one in the Wayfarers series but then after the descriptions I realizedā¦all the books are standalones. We donāt get to read about the Wayfarer crew again. Which like yeah Iām excited to see where else it goes next but it kinda SUCKS because Iām already so attached to these characters!! I want to find out more about Sissix and Rosemary and Jenks and Kizzy and even Corbin!!! Like yeah Iām interested in where it goes next and I am satisfied with their arcs but I am kinda grieving bc I didnāt realize I had finished their stories.

Summary:
Nobody knows what Sissix is doing to Corbin. To others, it looks just like innocent touches, but to Corbin it's much, much more.
Usually in Project Sekai, I donāt really have any people I ship as a polycule,..well except Nightchord25. And thereās good reason for that too because there bonds with each other is just soā¦mwah. But anyways, why are they found family you may ask? Well theyāre 4 mentally ill teenagers so plenty hurt and comfort there. Thereās Kanade Yoisaki a girl whoās mom died at a young age and father is in the hospital because of stress. Kanade blames herself for her fatherās hospital trip and compensates for it developing a savior complex, becoming a hikikomori who creates music in an attempt to āsave people.ā Her lifestyle is quite unhealthy as she spends most of her time creating music neglecting food and sleep. Next, Mafuyu Asahina the lyricist and arranger who has a āgood girlā facade but in reality is unhappy and empty as she lacks an identity due to her motherās manipulative behavior causing her to be a people pleaser. Sheās spent her whole life pleasing others that sheās forgotten her own self, that she wants to be when she grows up? Well her parents want her to become a doctor but she truly doesnāt know. Thirdly is Mizuki Akiyama, the video editor. Despite Mizukiās cheerful and peppy demeanor which contrast the other characters, Mizuki is an incredibly lonely person and is ostracized at school. This is because Mizuki is heavily implied to be biologically male despite dressing in feminine clothes. Thereās a lot of debate on Mizukiās gender identity but one thing for sure is that because of Mizukiās looks, the students around them think of Mizuki as weird and strange. Lastly but not least is Ena Shinonome, the artist, Enaās a very blunt person with a bit of a tsundere personality. Despite her outgoing demeanor she is also surprise, surprise, depressed. Ena has a social media account to thatās quite popular but what really matters to her more is her art account which barely gets any followers. Ena is an aspiring artist, wanting to become professional. But she struggles with her lack of talent as well as her inferiority complex because of her dad brutally telling her that she canāt make it in the art world and that she has no talent for it. Whichā¦while I get what heās trying to say as he is also an artist,..that isnāt exactly the best thing for him to do.Now that Iāve introduced you the cast, whatās there relationship like? Kanade has a special bond with Mafuyu as when Kanade and the others discovered that Mafuyuās happy mask was a hoax and in reality sheās lost all hope and is empty, Kanade vows to help her find her true self which at first by creating more songs. Mafuyu denies the help but eventually gives in. Throughout the story Kanade learns to understand Mafuyu more and aaahh we see Mafuyu start to crack a smile every once in a while because of Kanadeās music. Kanade has also helped Ena by giving her encouragement with her art as Kanade genuinely likes Enaās art and Kanade is the only person who Ena never bickers with. Mizuki has also helped out Kanade alot with them pushing Kanade out of her shell and making her go to places more. Mizuki finds comfort in n25 as theyāre Mizukiās only friends which why it hurts them so much as they fear that they will leave Mizuki if they found out their secret. In this way, Mafuyu and Mizuki foil eachother with Mafuyu being her true self with Nightchord meanwhile Mizuki hides their secret from Nightchord cuz of their fear of possible backlash. Both of them out on a facade one way or another. Ena ended up sensing that Mizuki was hiding something and in the end tells Mizuki that sheāll be waiting as long as Mizuki wants to tell their secret one day which makes Mizuki feel even more guilty. Now Enaās relationship with the Mafuyu. At first Ena doesnāt understand Mafuyu. She doesnāt understand why sheād wanna disappear when Mafuyu is so talented which is something that she wants. While they definitely didnāt get along in the beginning slowly but surely they started understanding n being friends<33. Thereās probably more I missed but Iām sooo tired lmfao
