YAY, CREDIT. Go buy a print from him, if you're so inclined:
I can't believe it took me this long to post these I finished this like nine months ago
An idea I had for Blood of Eden propaganda/recruitment posters featuring some of our favorite guys - combo of digital-print cyberpunk graphic design style with oldschool Saturday Morning Post covers like you'd see Leyendecker paintings on
I was gonna post these ahead of tabling at a small con and selling prints of them but ended up not tabling because turns out grad school is hard
maybe next year... figured tumblr would like though
#scavengersreign is a rare bird, a shooting star. I was lucky enough to see it inside, work on it. Now it's re-released, let's keep this anomaly shining.

take a breath, my heart, and hold your tongue by lady_ragnell (12,500 words)
Moryë is a soft thing on a wild night, eyes shining like the marina lights below, shawl wrapped around their shoulders, hair in a frayed and worn plait that means Moryë woke and sought company after his trance. “I saw you through the window when I went to the bathroom,” they say, low and tired. “You’re what a widow’s walk was invented for, moonlight. May I stay?” “Always, dearest.” Mali offers an arm, and Moryë ducks into its shelter. Moryë has a difficult night, and Maliconar helps them breathe through it.

En stayed in a defensive half crouch, touching the pattern with her elbow and her heel like a child nudging a spinning top. “Wait,” Tamol said in the roaring heat. En felt her kick her ankle. “En. En, please! This is all a misunderstanding!” En hesitated. Tamol was not her commander and couldn’t give her orders, but the spinning flame around them faltered. “You want me to stop?” “It’s just Pirelle and Clai!” Tamol said. “We came here to find them! En, I know you don’t have to do what I say, and I know you could kill everyone if you wanted, but I am begging you to stop.”
Incredibly delighted at this prerelease art! Could not have captured lesbian-winter-soldier vibe better! Realised I should probably add a plot summary but there is not room here so if you haven't seen it, here is the plot summary.
Bonus extract for under the cut (from approx two minutes later):
“Just a mix-up, no harm done— ” “She attacked me,” Clai said, slowly lowering his hands. “I was making soup.” “— no harm done except a few bruises on Clai—” “It’s all over the wall now.” “And a tragic soup casualty, fine,” Tamol allowed. “You did spring a noise trap on her and then lock her up, which quite understandably doesn’t seem friendly. I told you we were both escaping from someone trying to kill us. I’m sure En didn’t mean to attack anyone— ” “I did,” En said. “You’re not helping. Listen, Clai,” Tamol said, for some reason appealing to the person En had knocked prone and given a black eye. “She’s a war-tank. If she wanted you dead, you’d be dead.” There was a silence.
yeah I know I burned the fuckk out of that bridge but in my defense how else was i supposed to light my way

Nell wait I need to hear the cartoon saloon goblin emperor scene in detail I NEED IT
This is so stupidly specific, I do not know WHY it has stuck in my head for literal years now, it's not even that important a scene, and it's really just one beat in the scene! (Most of what's important in this adaptation that lives in my heart is that I think Cartoon Saloon would absolutely KILL the character designs.)
So, what I need translated to screen, in specific, is one tiny beat in the scene where Maia and the Corazhas are shown the model bridge. I want Maia to get shown focusing in on the details, until quite naturally we're focused in enough that it seems like the world of the bridge is the scale we're at, everything beyond it a blur, focusing in on the shepherd with the pipe that the narration mentions, and then a moment of Maia's fantasy, the pipe playing for a moment, the scene moving, the sound of the steam lowering the bridge, until it's interrupted by Maia's face appearing behind the scene and the true sense of scale reasserts itself.
It's so small! It's so unimportant! But I can imagine it in Cartoon Saloon's style SO PRECISELY.

yknow I'm feeling a bit brave so I will venture to say what this blighted essay's pitch actually is: reading project hail mary (novel and film) as a ravishment fantasy. in both main threads of the narrative grace is brought wildly out of his element and pulled into the orbit of a mysterious foreign stranger who is significantly stronger / richer / more powerful than him, forced to accept unsolicited lavish gifts and personal praise despite protests and discomfort, and made to live in isolated locations in extremely close proximity to these people with no say in the matter, all of which are common motifs in ravishment fantasies. on her own, stratt also brings in other common motifs of restraints, drugging, being above the law, multiple kidnappings (I'm doing crazy things with the classical definition of "rape" as in "abduction" and its shared etymology with "rapture" as in "being taken to the heavens"), and the very specific yet still common motif of "otherwise trustworthy partner goes too far and doesn't take 'no' for an answer." rocky on his own brings in the overprotective flavor common to a lot of dark romance novel heroes, i.e. "I make sure you sleep and I like to watch you while you do it, I make sure you eat enough even if you've got baggage about it, I make inhuman displays of strength when you're injured, and as long as I'm around I'll make sure nothing bad ever happens to you ever again."
the issue I was running into with researching this a few weeks ago is that almost all of the scholarly writing on the content of people's forced-sex fantasies focuses solely on women's fantasies and starts with the research question of "why would women enjoy imagining such a horrible misogynistic thing?" despite surveys often showing that men have force-fantasies (where they are the one being forced) at very comparable rates to women. my hypothesis for a bit was "either men's fantasies are exactly the same as women's or they're completely different in [x] way," which was disproven interestingly when I did finally find something about men's force-fantasies: in content they are almost exactly the same as women's fantasies but the emotional motivations are often different in [y] way, which I hadn't expected. and [y] also super applies to my buddy ryland, perhaps even more than my original [x] hypothesis.
my hopes for writing this are twofold: a) to address the question I sometimes see phm audience members come away with of "if grace likes his life by the end and doesn't seem that mad about all of that, is the message supposed to be 'violation of bodily autonomy is good, actually?'", and b) to lightly resist one of the prevailing notions in the study of forced-sex fantasies, that ravishment fantasies are solely abstracted and fantastical and pleasurable and are completely 100% separate from fearful paranoid imaginings of / flashbacks to realistic sexual violence.
oh also: the most common interpretation of why people have ravishment fantasies is that it allows the fantasist to disavow a desire they feel ashamed of because, in the fiction of the forcing, they don't *want* it at all, they're being made to do whatever it is and can't be considered at fault. as I allude to in my final paragraph of the original post, I think it's a tad more nuanced, but there's definitely a lot of truth to that. grace can tell stratt that he's not smart or important or capable or brave or selfless enough to do what she wants, but she'll ignore it, make him do it anyway, and kit him out with skilled staff members and expensive lab equipment and coffee just the way he likes it. it's a fantasy of being respected and heroic and good whether he likes it or not.
with rocky, the fantasy is of being forced to be loved and protected. rocky decides to initiate contact, he decides that he's moving into the hail mary, he decides that he's always going to watch grace sleep even if grace says he doesn't need it, he decides to gift grace the fuel to get home even when grace pretends he doesn't want it, and he decides he's not going to let grace die to save him even when grace says he's made his choice. the two scenarios allow grace to experience the rewards of being selfless without needing to be so gauche as to ever say he thinks he's that good of a person AND to experience the rewards of being selfish without saying he thinks he deserves to be cared for.

The thing about a good character flaw is that it has to be the same thing as their greatest strength just turned up too high. the person who loves deeply and therefore controls. the person who sees everything and therefore trusts nothing. the person who is so loyal they lose themselves. there are no clean villains and no clean heroes and once you understand that in fiction you can't unsee it in people. everyone is just their best quality at the wrong volume.
