You know, if we DO make contact with aliens within the next hundred years-ish, enough people are going to give the Vulcan salute to the first alien they see in real life (whether out of quivering excitement, lol memeitude, or sheer awkward, panicked grasping for the one prominent alien greeting nested in the social conscious) that there's a solid chance that it becomes a thing we're known for as humans.
OMG! I was fascinated by this scene in the book and you've totally captured it so well!!
Great job!
“He was quietly, startlingly charmed that for all his curt, practical manner, Courcey had chosen such a pretty kind of magic to show Robin.” - A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske ( @fahye )
Presenting the Patreon fanart poll winner for the month of October! Gosh, I would take any excuse in the world to draw the characters from this book. If you haven’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it enough. The magical system alone is mindblowing, nevermind Freya Marske’s beautiful prose. This one isn’t to be missed if you love queer historical fantasy. 😍
Star Trek will literally pick out an extra from a thirty-year-old crowd shot and be like "Yeah, this is Doctor Vellek; he's one of the best scientists in history"
