Etymology of 'ancillary' (adj.)
"subservient, subordinate, serving as an aid," 1660s, from Latin ancillaris "relating to maidservants," from ancilla "handmaid," fem. diminutive of anculus "servant," literally "he who bustles about," from root of ambi- "around" (from PIE root *ambhi- "around") + PIE *kwol-o-, from root *kwel- (1) "revolve, move round."

Medic hmphed . “And you can’t blame me for being impatient with it,” I continued. “I just rested for two weeks, downwell. There’s a lot to catch up on.” “You call that rest, do you?” asked Medic. “Up until the bomb went off, yes.”

I found a couple of old fics tonight and posted them on AO3 basically unedited:
Esk, Issa (Beginning, Movement): Imperial Radch, 800 words
My existence began in a single room.
Or rather, this is where my memory record begins. My existence itself began in a laboratory some very many gates away, but this is only hardware. I, myself, did not begin until I was already in orbit, already set into place above the planet where I was destined to live and die.
The Merrikitt Hotel: Chronicles of the Kencyrath, mall AU, 1.2k
Jame stood in the empty hotel parking lot and tapped her chin. Up close, the Merrikitt Hotel was much nicer than she’d thought, dwarfed as it was by the Four Seasons’ veritable high rise next door. She contemplated the likely price for a room, weighed it against her unfortunately barren wallet, and then weighed it a second time against Rowan’s reaction if Jame came back from her lunch break still dripping mud all over The Knorth Face’s nice clean floors. Never mind that Jame thought it would lend a pleasing verisimilitude to an outdoor goods store; Rowan’s expressionless face could speak volumes when necessary. Right, showering at the Merrikitt it was.

it is i, francis null, here with a coining post
now, i'm not making a flag for this right away. i've only had four hours of sleep for one and for another thing, this is really just a personal term only i plan to use though if others resonate with this particular experience, that's great! i'm just using the word, rather, to describe this particular gender-not gender-beyond gender-xenogender i feel.
ancillary: a gender that is based off the ancillary species of corpse-soldier-ship-connectivity-ai from imperial radch. there is no singular experience of ancillary gender, as ancillaries are as individual as a person is, but here is how i experience being an ancillary:
-a peculiar combination of being genderless, having an identifiable gendered feeling that is strong, intense, and personal, a feeling of being so detached from/beyond/above the gender binary as a whole that gender is meaningless to you, and a heavily xenogender/xenic influenced component where these simultaneous, contradictory gendered-notgendered feelings are tied to ai, robots, plurality, and nonhumanity in general.
-this specific nonhumanity isn't a "want" to be human, but more of a "seeing what humans have and knowing that although you prefer the gifts of being an ancillary, you know you lack something to you that makes you blend in with humanity, so you reject humanity altogether".
-the genderless part of the label, in my experience, is felt as a lack of identification with gender or gender roles as society experiences it, to masculinity or femininity since society is a binary and you purposefully and accidentally elude its categorization.
-the identifiable gendered aspect to the gender can be a nameable gendered feeling, like neutrois, aporagender, maverique, ilyagender, aliagender, pera, stargender, etc., or it can be an unlabeled yet strongly gendered feeling that coincides and coexists with your genderlessness.
-the detachment from the gender binary can be anything: it can be a simultaneous refusal to identify with any gender despite the contradictory feelings of genderedness and genderlessness, it can be a refusal of labels except for "unlabeled" or "ancillary", it can be a lack of identification with the gender system in general like with quoigender or apogender, it can be like gendereaux where you don't identify with gender at all but identify with numerous nonbinary experiences (including ancillary!), and all of these can even be possible in a singular ancillary.
so yeah. here's my conception of my own gender that i personally think others would be fond of, but is mostly made for me. hope you enjoy

I'm so glad you like the "decades gone" line in my Radch filk!! I was so delighted when I came up with it :)
It's SO GOOD!
Also was 'scores' specifically chosen for both the numbers and like, a musical score? The thought just occurred to me and I wasn't sure
this filk is so good and so well done and aaahhhh my feelings. I've listened to it so many times (and if you ever have the chance to put it up on the bandcamp i would love to get it)

so many people like camilla hect for her stoicism in the face of danger, one-word responses, and competence at her job. But I like her because underneath all of that she's genuinely unwell and her problem-solving skills will simply make the problem different. queen of not knowing how to process her own emotions or interact with other people but deciding that just being good at what she does and being attached at the hip to someone who does like to speak to people will probably cover all of that. well it did cover all of that but then it gave her new problems didn't it

Proverbs of Squash, 14th Pennant by David Jarvis 2022.
The truly wise nutritionist builds up her athletes,
But the foolish one cooks junk food with her own hands.
The one hitting the ball up fears the Tin,
But the one who is tired misses too many shots.
A swearing player deserves a conduct penalty,
But the lips of the wise will protect them. Where there are no sweaty clothes the bag is clean,
But the odour of staleness yields an abundance of bacteria. A…

What a great weekend throwing down in Melbourne and Mountain View Arkansas. We managed to grab a tenth place with our trout dish on Saturday and brought home a 7th place call on Sunday with our Monte Cristo Bombs. It also qualified us for the Arkansas State Championship. Always awesome to see our @steakcookoffs friends and make some new ones along the way. Thank you and much love to all of our supporters! . . . . . #foodsport #competition #scafamily #trout #montecristo #ancillary #townsend #papasgrillingproducts #Arkansas #homefield #cheflife #MontanaMaxBBQ #eatrealfood #calls #outdoorcooking #travel #rogersarkansas #hometeam #goodtimes (at Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTB8AvOzqQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
