As a balm after The Worst Post You Have Ever Seen, here is a normal chapter update:
Unjust Depths 8.13-8.14 spoilers
The rest of the Brigand v Antenora battle is going really well. I like the Helios' atypical combat style, the antiflooding solution to disarm Gertrude's mech was fuckin genius, and the drones going out and lighting up everyone's imaging so that Dominika can obliterate that Volkannon was rad too. I said it above but Genivov gets a lot out of this chapter. Using her goofy gamerbrain skills to coordinate her torpedo strike with de la Rosa's artillery barrage, in hopes of doing something right for once, it's a great moment when a segment of the Antenora floods like a BITCH, OOOOOOO!!! Genivov deserves that handholding, I'm so glad she turned out to be more than just a horndog. No bottom moves from our torpedo specialist, no!Also Gertrude fucking surrendered, holy shit. The crew of the Antenora is getting their collective asses exposed, and the exposed asses are all the asses of COMPLETELY PATHETIC LOSERS, I mean imagine being High Inquisitor and losing a fight to a seafloor exploration mech. Sucks to suck!
It was good of Fan-Favourite Cuttlefishβ’ to help Elena reach the bridge, and I greatly approve of Elena's big declaration. She would have probably been a hundred times safer and less awkward not revealing her identity, but she has gained initiative, values and a disdain for sitting pretty while letting other people fight her battles. Idk if she has fully earned this, since she hasn't talked to Marina in ages and she's mostly just been clowned on by the security team, but it's cool & I'm hoping this jumpstarts her character. Her decision to remain onboard the Brigand even in the face of Norn the Praetorian is rad.
Poor Genrtrude is really entering her villain era now though! Like Sieglinde she doesn't really have beliefs or convictions, so it sucks to suck (again) when your gf says "no" and you lose your entire reason for being! I could sort of tell from her overbearing nature that she might not respect Elena having autonomy, but woooooow she really flipped out, she's gonna be the NO ELENA YOU ARE MINE REEEEEE abusive ex now :/ rip high inquisitor, u will be missed after Norn fucking flays your ass, lol.
Also wow though, Sieglinde is coming with the underwater commies??? Kinda hyped for that.
::: spoiler bury your love at goryk's gorge INDEED the whole fight is really incredible! everyone gets their own thing to do, it rules so hard. geninov is great "it would be such a bottom move" is an incredible line and was running through my head the entire time you mentioned getting bad vibes from her earlier because it's so charming i can't imagine not liking her after that. i loved all the other little moments people got to shine, but that was my favorite. also sieglinde being so shaken by khadija that she ends up defecting is incredible, i love that so much
elena going up to the bridge and giving that whole speech and kinda dumping gertrude shoots her up many points in my book. it's really good! she's trying to become an actual person and not just royalty and i'm rooting for her! gertrude is SUCH a loser. she's so pathetic and weird about elena, and she's just so fixated on her that it makes her bad at everything else she does. she sucks but it's super juicy. this whole arc has really good drama
The title is multifaceted which is fun...
...like yo that leviathan was a cute Zachikova gf???
I know right, this arc is great for everybody. I wasn't really invested in disliking Genivov, she just weirded me out is all... but while I was already warming to her somewhat over her nightshift shenanigans, this sealed her place in the "good bitches" pantheon. I didn't mention it at the time but while I felt really bad for Shalikova when they met in the shower, it was kind of a fun scene for Genivov, lol. I actually want more from the torpedo/artillery chairs now!! It is an incredible battle, there were no goofy ass-pulls (I was expecting Shalikova to be saved by deus ex machina, but no!) Every time a Diver is onscreen it's a hype moment. Sonya is now going to see Maryam in the infirm though and OH BOY OH BOY
Yes!!! I knew she could fucking do it!!! She has to read theory now and start enjoying soy cutlets
Honestly she and Gertrude traded places in my rankings, I still love Gertrude but in a "she sucks but it's super juicy" way for sure. I cannot wait to see her do Real Villain shit, this origin story is going to make her future war crimes β¨ EXTRA SPICY β¨
hell yeah
yeah she is!!!!i didn't think you really hated her, just that she has forever been tied to that line in my mind and i had to really force myself not to make like a coy little reference to it lmao. and yeah! the fights are so fucking good, madiha is really incredible at making them work in prose, which isn't easy. i always feel like i have enough of a sense of the mechanics to follow what's happening while not getting bogged down in details. and the divers are always so hype
elena is going to do it! she will read theory, she will join the proletariat, she will start eating the food that is available to her! by the end of the story she will be having theory discussions with murati on equal terms
lfg
I'm glad I did not lol, I might have introduced her with more than just her going AWOOOGA a bunch, but yeah I get ya, it's a great line, lmao. Waa it an absolute top move when her strategy worked out then?Weirdly enough the battles kinda remind me of the Halo novels (
)It is top shelf stuff, it is tough to balance both "not getting bogged down in the details" and "detailed enough that hype still occurs", ngl though I had forgotten that the Jagd has like, an inverted triangular chassis, lol
YOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh no way, I never even considered that, I'm still slightly hesitant about our resident Dumb Bitch talking to Murati cause uh c: But I do look forward to her learning to be a real person.
::: spoiler unjust deoths nah i think this is a no win scenario. the second you start saying "it would be an absolute bottom move" about stuff everything you do in response to that is also an absolute bottom move
yeah like, i don't always have a super consistent vision of the divers in my head (the jagd especially always looks like the jagd doga to me because of the name) but the fights work so well
elena will be one of the three pillars of communist thought in the union. (i mean, her becoming a real girl and not having imperial brainworms and being able to talk to poc without being weird about it is a more reasonable hope. but i like to dream big)
Deoths c:
And so, the gunnery officers were both bottomsOne of the things I really want is for Marina and Elena to make up. I get why Elena is mad at her, and sure Marina is the single most brainwormed person in Unjust Depths, but I feel really incredibly bad for Marina busting her ass and devoting her life to the daughter that she, Leda and Bethany cared for so deeply, risking life and limb constantly to keep her safe, and getting that thrown back in her face. Elena should get cozy and start loving her new adoptive mother, because Bethany and Leda's wills (though hopefully not weird knifeplay forcefem habits) live on through Marina.
spoiler Weird Book Brainrot To me Marina feels like she walked out of any random trans litfic, like she has many of the aspects of a Maria Griffiths or a Jules Binachi(The Last Girl Scout) or even a Wendy(Little Fish), and it's very fascinating, her brainworms should rub up very strangely against the otherwise exclusively trans-positive-trans-normative world. I felt awful sadness when Ulyana and Aaliyah were getting the report from the doctor about how Marina is basically a walking trauma bucket, I wish to see her heal in general. :::
::: spoiler unjust deaths on everyone who makes fun of my typos yeah for sure. marina is a deeply tragic character, she has this daughter she's estranged from, she's the only character we've seen from the republic and has SO many brainworms. it fits with the brigand because it's part of making clear how much of a hellhole the republic was, but it's so sad. i really want to see her overcome her past and both have better opinions and also just have like, anything good? what if she got exposed to a fully trans positive society and maybe bonded with people and stopped calling them commies as a bad thing!
I would never c:
100% agreed, this is why I want more of her in general. What does her average day on the Brigand look like? Surely she will be talking to Murati for bailing her ass out when Gertrude was about to skewer her? She hasn't interacted with the crew much so it should be deeply fascinating! Give us more sad bitch!!!ok c:
the sad bitch i wanna see more of most is sieglinde, i think her rivalry with khadija is so compelling and her collapse when faced with principles rules. but also i think her and marina need to hang out some! i wanna see them bitch about their home countries and cry about how sad they are about all the awful things they did for said country. and khadija should be there to ~~flirt with sieglinde~~ make fun of them for feeling bad because they hate their countries but not being willing to commit to leaving until the issue was forcedI make typos all day so it would be hypocritical at minimum lol
Okay I will be writing a huge 9.1-9.3ish update, but MAAAAAAN when Khajida jumped up on the Grenadier and grabbed Sieglinde by the collar, I was like YOU CAN DO IT, HEADSMASH THAT BITCHOoh, I dunno if I wanna hear Sieglinde's reaction to Marina's brainworms, uh maybe it would be bad
Half of me expects her to go on some casually 'phobic tirade, half of me expects the honourable-gallant knightly "YOU SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF, GIA", it could be weird. As effectively defecting war criminals though it could def be fascinating 
also I never even considered a Khajida x Sieglinde, uncritical support.
yeah me too lmao
i have the kind of brain that sees this and goes "ahh, they're going to kiss one day!" i call it being a genius. and whether marina and sieglinde have a productive conversation at all i think it'd be juicy as hell. i look forward to your 9.3 thoughts!
Understandable!
...Look out it's gonna be a big post
lifelong ideological foes in the art of mechanized warfare to lovers
plus the scene where khadija visits her in the brig? very easily could go differently, she goes in and yells at her to vent her feelings, one thing leads to another...there's a lot to chew on
