[sparklemaia]

some quick character sketches from The Strange Case of Starship Iris, @iriscasefiles. I am obsessed with this “gays on a spaceship” scifi audiodrama podcast, y’all. 

you should check it out because it’s got:

a ragtag found family of criminals undermining a corrupt intergalactic government! 

heists! ciphers and secret codes! double agents! 

alien linguistics as a plot device!

a useless lesbian! (good with guns, bad with feelings!)

a queer trans Jewish nerd wanted by several mafias!

a stunt pilot who composes battle poetry while defying the laws of physics!

multiple nonbinary characters! bi rep! poly rep! (grey) ace rep! it’s so gay you guys

baby goats! 

sea shanties!

I love every single one of these idiots, thanks to the whole team at Procyon for this kickass story. I’m currently listening to it for the 8th time in 2 months 😅

Love for The Artists

This is totally unprovoked, but I just wanted to openly appreciate the artists on this blog.

Because my talents do not include art and a lot of requested characters are from books or podcasts, I tend to ask a lot of people for permission to use their fanart on my blog; they could easily say no and I understand each time someone does. So I just want to say thank you to every artist that gives me their permission.

Trust me, if I had more disposable income, I'd happily commission every one of them

They're all tagged under the cut (if I've missed any, please tell me and I'll fix it)

"Maybe a rational person wouldn’t take this risk. Maybe a rational person would opt for a quick death over whatever’s waiting for you at the end of this flightpath.

You want to think you are a rational person, but you’re not. You’re a scientist. And there is no greater expression of sheer stupid human hope than the study of science. We’re born groping around in the dark but science says, “We can understand this.” It says, “There’s something here to understand and this act of blindly reaching forward is worth it.” It says, “You could be devoting your entire career to what’s really a dead end and it's still worth it. You could be dismissed in your own lifetime, you could poison yourself with radiation, you could be executed. And it’s still worth it. More than your safety, more than your life, that divine earthly act of trying to understand." @iriscasefiles

Hello, I love podcasts, and one of my favorites is The Strange Case Of Starship Iris. This line hit me directly in the heart all the way in episode ONE.

I don't really know what any of the characters look like, so....a violet space suit for Violet Liu!

doting big sister violet

[ID: a sketch of a young violet and juniper. violet is sitting on her knees and leaning forward to tie juniper’s shoe with a neutral expression on her face. juniper is slouching, holding kickball in one arm and sticking one foot out to let violet reach her shoe. she has an annoyed expression on her face, looking away from violet. violet has her hair in short pigtails, and she’s wearing a t-shirt with flowers and a skirt, with a bandaid on one leg. juniper’s hair is in a ponytail, and she’s wearing a t-shirt and shorts, with bandaids on her cheek and legs. end ID]

Sh-ned Jve-ra

The crew of the Starship Iris, dressed in their Pride identities because I got VERY EXCITED when it was revealed in a Patreon story that my beloved badass Arkady was grey-ace LIKE ME. (I sort of assumed pan for Brian (with a trans belt), given Krejjh, and since I don’t actually know Sana’s I just dressed her in the colors of LOVE because SHE IS VERY GOOD AT LOVING PEOPLE.) Violet is still mostly in her boring Science Officer uniform but I put a little nod to the bi flag as bracelets :D

(Apologies to Krejjh if they wouldn’t actually choose the nonbinary flag, but I couldn’t leave them out)

@iriscasefiles -- thank you, I love this show so goddamn much

tscosi 2x06

small galaxy huh

fish-bullying etymology

Arkady could be correct here - it’s awfully convenient for Vashren to be the one behind this deal, especially since their removal would be beneficial to Eejhgreb. Eejhgreb, who would have a wider lay of the political landscape than any of our three friends here, and could have offered more than one suspect

Did no dwarnian arm dealers try making some cash during that ten year war by selling to the humans? Are there private dwarnian arm dealers, what is the structure of the dwarnian economy, irrelevant things I wonder about

They have bars though, so I approve of that much

Eejjhgreb’s approval of Krejjh’s human buddies is useful for the marriage thing, but I am also cracking up at the idea of them reading that tabloid and accidentally becoming the first in-universe Krejjh/Brian/Arkady shipper (while being incredibly condescending : “well, a lone dwarnian prospect would be skilled in both the battling arts and our linguistic culture, I suppose one for each will have to do”)

Really though, what is Eejhgreb’s long game here, on a political level 

uhhh a goat is eating my jacket uhhh

The fucking irony that after Violet gives an extended explanation that adults get to make their own choices, even if you saw them grow up...she runs right into Juniper who wants to join the crew

Have no idea what Sana would think of that request. (Suspect Violet’s argument against it to the captain specifically will be one of pragmatism, not sentiment)

The pretending-to-be-neighbours bit quickly gave a great sense of their dynamic - you get the sense that this is not the first time Juniper has successfully badgered her older sis into a scheme. God, do you think they practiced accents/voices on each other?

My prev prediction on juniper: “a hum major, speech with the same kind of interrogatory nature as Violet’s though perhaps a bit more reckless.” Feels accurate. Don’t know whether I feel good/bad for the Liu parents having to wrangle these two. 

I enjoyed hearing about Other Violet’s cost-benefit analyses and resource management. Someone’s gotta do it. All this discussion about the kids reminded me of the ME3 decision about Jack’s students

avoiding goat shit

Man, there should be McCabe fanart that accurately captures someone who would look like a teenager to 37-year-old Sana but look like a 30 year old to teenage Oakley. 

I would like to congratulate them on their growth in first asking if someone would like to hear terrible news. Unfortunately wasted on this episode’s recipient, who would always say yes.

When Oakley asked “How do you deal with it, when people imply you’re, like, xenofauna?” to McCabe my brain auto-filled an answer of “Getting really really good at killing them” but as far as I can tell, McCabe has killed 1 human, 0 dwarnians. Maybe the answer of a McCabe born a decade earlier. Probably someone’s answer.

Grew up on a farm! 

How remote/cut-off is Martineau, that they wouldn’t have heard of the Iris by now? Guess we’ll find out next week

Fun facts

I don’t even need to do the math on the Nixon thing, this is just more confirmation that Brian kills at Earth-history trivia.

I’d guess that Mirzakhani the planet is named for the Iranian mathematician, who was awarded the Fields medal in 2014

Minor Character MVP: look, I am a simple listener with simple needs and Gavins lost cool merc points for caring about Violet’s relationship status. Juniper wins this week, for reckless ship-hopping and giving Violet multiple heart-attacks. Also, Violet calling her Junie is cute.

#jaggedwolf rambles #mine #tscosi #tscosi reviews #juniper is taller than violet right we all agree on this #you know maybe sana got to see a baby goat wearing a sweater in-person #who's going to write meta about who the most famous 20th century US president would be in 2191

Violet Liu

What does a scientist-on-a-starship’s uniform look like? Probably not like this, but whatever. My headcanon is that the IGR has strict rules about hair length and jewellery, because they just seem like that sort of regime. I don’t love how this turned out (how do you draw eyes? what shape is a hairline? wtf even are ears?), but I needed to finish and upload it before I stared at it until I started hating it.

If you’re into podcasts, go listen to The Strange Case of Starship Iris!! It’s funny and well acted and diverse and in space, and there’s only 4 episodes so far so it’s not a huge commitment to listen from the start.

(Bonus line art version because I kind of like it better but I had to upload the coloured version since I put the effort into colouring it.)

Violet Liu, Science Officer and paramedic!

Scandendum est spiranti. As long as I am breathing, I must climb.

Violet is my favorite anxious little space biologist, and i love her. i am also slowly working my way through painting everyone in the rumor crew. idk if this ended up looking like violet at all (such is the curse of doing fanart for podcasts), but i sure did have fun with the colors. i totally lost track of time painting this and damn near missed my train because of it.
