Occupation: Chief Intake Physician at Medina Station  

Current location/from: Medina Station/Ganymede, Sol System  

Voice: Alto, with strong Belter lilt from working in Ceres hospitals.  

Personality: The spirit of the Belt in the body of a loving mother, sister, doctor, and wife, Tanke is the fiery rock of her extended family. The firstborn of a physician father and lab manager mother, Tanke was raised with high expectations, especially as her mother’s mental and physical health deteriorated with the many pregnancy losses that occurred between Tanke and Sjael’s birth. Her grandfather, the legendary union organizer and mining engineer, Sjaelland Roose’s death during an attempted organizing event with the OPA pushed Tanke to eventually take time off from her studies, and serve as a medic on an OPA-Free Navy vessel, attacking Earth and Martian ships. After two years, she became disillusioned with the OPA-Free Navy’s antics, and returned to school, where she completed her MD. She married her spouses, who also left the OPA at the same time, shortly afterwards, and started a family on Ceres. Motherhood and her work as a physician are what define her, and she is both fiercely loyal and incredibly defensive of her family. She sometimes struggles with letting go of bad memories, and holding grudges. Her sister Sjael’s gentle nature is both inspiring and irritating to her, as she views herself as her sister’s protector. 

Flaws: Tanke suffers from PTSD and anxiety from the violence she’s witnessed (and DONE) in both the hospital and during her time with the OPA, which comes through in her rage and her especially nasty tongue. She curses like a sailor, and has no problem threatening and insulting people whom she views as a potential harm to her loved ones. This scares away many potential allies and friends. She is also a drinker. 

Likes: Long walks, guns, taking care of others, beer, whiskey, her family, new medical discoveries, bread, big bowls of noodles, her daughter’s art, sleeping in, her sister’s cooking. 

Dislikes: Messes, not having things scheduled, being undermined, seeing her loved ones upset, men who date her sister, misbehavior, procrastination. 

Desire: Tanke, despite her ferocious attitude, is a loving person who wants a secure future for the people that she adores. No one is more important to her than her immediate family, and she will see red if one of them is in harm’s way. A patriotic Belter through and through, she also wants a stable future for her people.

Really regret not making my daughter's doctor's appointment for 11:30... I could have left work early. 😭

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.

Listen, if I had the time I would just make Justice Leauge the mockumentary, lol.

Finor, the first follower.

love seeing the beginnings of perseus "pay your fucking child support" jackson's crusade against the gods' parental negligence problem in ep 1 & 2 of the pjo show. the absolute KING of "my daddy gave me issues so HE'S about to HAVE issues"

Dolly Parton has come to do a show in my town. We couldn't afford tickets, so me and my mom sold my stepdad so we could go.

It turned out that we sold him to Dolly Parton, she made him sing with her and then she gave him back.

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.

Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.

He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.

He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.

Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"

"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
