Hello everyone!! 😁💙 today is the special day, my very first anniversary with my number one husband, my galaxy, my Rex!
To celebrate, I'm gonna do a stream of a few Rex-heavy episodes via kosmi at or around 3 or 3:15 (6:15 EST) and my inbox is also open to any and all questions about us, the lore, the AUs, anything you're curious about!
Thank you all so much for sticking around for the journey, I never would have guessed how hard I would fall or how much this blond haired clone would eventually mean to me 💙💙💙

Hello !! Do you have thoughts on Rhea :]
yes, i do!! with the caveat that we have such limited information on lovelace's crew, what we do have is almost entirely filtered through her perspective, and we kinda... know rhea the least. as much as i find eris a fascinating character too, i wish we'd heard more of rhea.
which is kind of the first thing: rhea is the only AI character in wolf 359 who doesn't have a voice. (we don't hear hyperion's voice, which is supposedly not integrated yet, but he's not even really treated like a character in the scene he's in. and that's a whole other thing.) for hera in particular, she feels a physical disconnect from the others, but the fact that wolf 359 is audio only makes her an equal presence from the perspective of the audience. (which carries over to the live show, where the other characters may not be able to see her, but the audience can, etc.) rhea's situation is kind of the opposite, where her words can be seen by the others, but the audience can only hear or infer her words via what the others read out loud or respond to.
rhea clearly cares about her fellow crewmates, and seems to get along with lambert in particular. lovelace's log: "and communications officer lambert is... communications officer lambert. so an enormous stick in the mud. [...] i heard that, rhea. you are expressly forbidden from telling him i said that." - a sentiment it's easy to imagine early minkowski expressing about eiffel and hera, for the opposite reason. in a more direct parallel, rhea reassures lambert that he "does a great job"; in bach to the future, hera tells eiffel he's "actually very good at his job." the difference in context highlights their priorities; eiffel and hera are having a heart to heart about worthiness, while rhea really is talking about lambert's job - work is important to him, and most people around him don't respect or appreciate his work. what we can infer about rhea is that she's... well, the kind of person who would be lambert's friend. straightforward, rule-following, and professional.
(even something like "see, rhea? i told you someone read [my reports to command]" indicates that they talk to each other a fair amount, but also serves as a mirror to eiffel's belief no one listens to his logs.)
maybe the most interesting thing to me about rhea is her defense of eris: "it's just the way they programmed her, back off." ... again, the complete opposite of how hera might respond. eiffel tries to "defend" her in a similar way in ep 7 - "you can't really hold that against her; it's just her programming" - and she finds it incredibly insulting. with all of that taken together, with how lovelace, lambert, and rhea are in many ways intentional opposites to minkowski, eiffel, and hera, it really makes me wonder how rhea identifies or perceives herself.
i think hera is functionally human, both in her singular, consistent image of herself, and in her role in the narrative. eris appears human to lovelace, but is clear that it's how she sees "a version of herself." whether that refers to that iteration of eris having multiple versions of herself, or if it refers to all of the iterations of her who exist: either way it's a reflection of the way eris exists, and her acceptance of that. by extension, the fact that we don't encounter rhea in any way other than beeping sounds and implied words on station monitors... kind of says something narratively, i think. going back to her lack of voice, even that level of distance and abstraction takes her further away from 'human' perceptions by the audience, while she's obviously still a full person with her own priorities, perspectives, and opinions. i think it's very interesting to consider she might prefer her state of (lack of physical) existence in a way hera clearly does not.

*BEEP BEEP* IT'S ME AGAIN
So, because my life is one cosmic dick punch after another, I am getting booted out of my apartment after this weekend.
Due to the actions of my housemate over the past 8 months, which began with the carpet being torn up in one of the rooms in our unit and ended with her being arrested for assaulting me, the landlord would not renew the lease even with just me. I have another apartment (hopefully) lined up for July, but between now and then, I'm Pretty Well Boned.
I've got the money put aside for my deposit for the place, a steady job with pretty good pay, and very understanding employers, but I'm still scrambling to find a place to stay for this month. And with that, on top of costs of things like a storage unit and (potentially) movers, I need help again. I thought I was past this, but once again, here we are. Anything helps, donations or just sharing around!

Zerxus’ character + Brennan’s style of DMing = one of the most incredibly tragic and inexorable stories I’ve ever encountered. You know what they say about the road to hell…
Zerxus CHOOSING kindness and forgiveness at literally every turn and that BEING what damns him. The futile humanity of trying to forgive the Father of Lies, over and over again. Zerxus CHOOSING to try and save his and Evandran’s son AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS SOUL and his last few moments with his husband.
Beyond that, his kindness and willingness to forgive and redeem people is ALSO what buys him his last few human hours before he’s beholden to the king of Hell.
I can’t help but feel that this whole story was intended to showcase the human possibility for kindness and forgiveness even in the face of true, world-ending calamity.
