IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

What's nice about having to both write and design characters is that I can just do whatever I feel like in the moment. I've been on a design kick, working on bringing characters I've wrote into visual life, and also working on their portraits and animations so that they can be inserted into the game. Now I want to write more though, so I can do that. After all, the game needs a lot of characters, and the story still has a long way to go...

food, dieting, treats🍦Been trying to eat healthier and ease my way towards veganism, found a vegan ice cream thingy on sale at a grocery outlet and tried it. "Wondermilk"? I've tried soy based ice cream before and didn't really like it, but this is coconut oil+tapioca+sunflower oil. Actually really good and relatively low calorie. Lot of sugar and saturated fat and it's normally pretty expensive but it was on clearance and I'm pretty happy with trying it in a whim for a lil' treaty-treat

Wayhaven Book One major spoilersIs it possible to avoid A) getting caught by Murphy and B) getting shot up with vampire blood to become a superbattery? There is a save data variable for the latter so I figured it must be possible but Idk how.

Also it's quite fascinating to me that my detective this run has more than double the "people skills" stat of my last one. I wonder what changes that and why?

A year ago I was a total mess but at least I was passionate about communism. Now I know myself more and take care of her a lot better but my passion’s gone.

dying on a hill, Unjust Depths 8.13 and so onI still hold that Karuniya x Murati is easily the worst relationship/pair/underwatershipping thing in the entire webnovel, sorry. Prince Erich and his fucking murder twink seriously have more chemistry.

Karuniya & Murati are the only pairing that relies exclusively on one trope, and it's so fucking weird that they're so hopelessly underwritten. How does the main character's love interest have so little screentime and suck so, so bad? Obviously part of the problem is Murati almost doesn't react to any of Karuniya's weird, weird advances, but like... you get more out of Maryam and Shalikova though? They are fun, Shalikova has her lil autism arc? Hell, Sieglund's silly love triangle with Sad Unrequited Dog Girl and the princess has more sauce to it. I like Murati as a character quite a bit, uh my autistic transfem girlkissing protagonist, waow. Literally cannot get that anywhere else. But her girlfriend is a nothingburger and their relationship is even more of a nothingburger.

Maybe it's because they have 0 conflict? A lot of their scenes do kind of read like the epilogue of a romance, which is annoying. I'm always yapping about how romances could be about more than just the commencement of a relationship, and it seems like these two should be it, but after their disagreement over Murati's placement on the Brigand, (kind of interesting) that's basically it for interesting development. You (I) might hope that flashbacks would provide the goods, but the few looks we get into their past seem to tell the reader that not much was ever up. The only thing of note is that Murati didn't really seem to "get" the flirting which was funny, but not in a "haha awww she's doin' an autism" way, in a way where the fact they made out after their first date seems almost weird.

Obviously it must have been really funny to watch my autistic ass badly misread the entire thing and post a nuclear take about it, and it does help at least a little to understand the trope better, even if I still think it's way underwritten. Love to fundamentally misunderstand shit.

When I think of enjoyable romances in fiction, though, a few do spring to mind but Murati and Karuniya are NOT it. There's none of the complication of say, Homa's little flights of gay fancy, it's just sort of "protagonist" and "cute girl". I kept hoping Karuniya would get some characterisation, as a little treat, but while I think UD is pretty balanced on the whole, Kayuniya definitely falls through the cracks which seems like a huge L for what should be one of its most prominent characters? Like what do we know about Karuniya other than that she's a simp for butches and does marine plantlife shit? She is such a nobody and it's a crying shame.

I’m getting good at smothering my emotions in information again and realizing I don’t really want to be Alexithymic again. My main emotion used to be the passion of argument, and I’ve felt so much else in the last ten months. Largely not great, but I’ve gained greater understanding.

I just spent four hours trying to figure out how to get this Fire Emblem portrait to work in the actual game, when all I needed to do was trust in GIMP. Yeah, this online editor (Piskel) was nice for splicing, but it added so many colors every time I made an edit for some reason. All I had to do was take it into GIMP, strip the colors down to 16, and it works seamlessly. Also, RIP Shanna avatar, she helped me walk for a bit but it's time for me to run.

Additionally, this project has been keeping me busy. I think this is the first time I have really just given up on trying to keep up with the mega or post, I feel like I'm in the zone!
