If you like Science, use ao3 (writer, reader, both, some nebulous other usage I have yet to figure out) and enjoy sharing your opinions on fanfic and fandom, I'd be hugely grateful to anyone willing to take part in a short survey!

It's anonymous (you can use whatever name you like) and the answers will be used for my paper on fan archives, fandom, and how fans relate to the two. The survey will stay open for a week starting today.

I'm curious: Who's your strongest blorbo? Which blorbo would beat all others in a fight?

thinking abt the subtle yet overwhelming body horror and dysphoria present in Nona the Ninth. I’m not even talking about Ianthe piloting around Naberius’s corpse or Kiriona’s whole. thing.

it’s the subtler shit. imagine you’re Pyrrha. you’re lying awake in bed on a doomed wasteland of a planet and you’re in your dead best friend’s body. in the next room is a kid, and you have no idea who she actually is. she eats pencils and she’s physically weak but when she’s mad she will break her own bones over and over just to communicate her rage. you kind of have feelings for two people living in the same body, and that very situation is killing that very body. You shave your dead best friend’s face every day. You will never have your own body back.

I love you all, you’ve done nothing wrong. But I’m begging you. The “kiri” in Kiriona is not pronounced like Siri on your phone. Kiriona is legit just how someone speaking te reo Māori would pronounce “Gideon”. You roll the R a little bit and it should sound a lot more like “Kee-dee-oh-nah” sorry idk how to properly write out phonetics but you get it

Uhm Anusia I've just listened to episode 10 through Patreon and. What. The fuck. Just happened. Did you finally Pun too much + Jonny killed you off or what? I do not like it. Make it stop.

The model of Mr Bonzo I made all of a sudden, somehow, scares me even more.

(Obviously this is a massive spoiler for episode 10 so I'm not expecting a reply, but I did want to say I LOVED that episode + I am Scared.)

1. Agreed.

2. Not this time, but I await with terror the moment when @jonnywaistcoat decides he has had enough of my nonsense and finally snaps. I wonder which pun will do it.

3. I cannot make it stop. I do not have that kind of power. Even if I did, I wouldn't. It's too much fun. Sorry.

4. That's very cool, but has he ever watched you while you sleep?

5. I'm glad! I enjoyed it too.

😊

“Uncredited as Mr Bonzo” that’s a neat way of saying it’s alex doing a funny voice again

Alice. Alice please. I can't.

Why did you give the last of your food to that poorly disguised mimic? You were finally at peace with letting go, but now this odd thing won’t leave you alone and is even turning itself into various items in an attempt to aid you.

Hey what if we treated monstrous with respect and kindness and what if it changed the story. What then.

Do you need a Zookie in your life? Do you have access to a 3D printer? Well, good news! I've uploaded the .stl file to my google drive so you can print your own Zolf cookie cutter. Enjoy everyone, and yes, I demand pictures.

i'm really interested in the other members of the "gifted program"

i have a few theories abt who might've been in it:

needles?? seems like a relatively recent avatar (if that's what they are), so i feel like it would be so cool if they had history with sam and gerry if they ever do get to interact.

i really doubt tim, jon, and martin were involved BUT i really like the idea of sasha having been part of it.

julia montauk perhaps?

oliver banks??

annabelle cane???

mike crew????

idk all of them seem roughly the same age (i haven't checked so not entirely sure) and i would love to see them again. excited about whatever gets revealed, definitely the most interesting part of the series for me so far.
