IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

    The Avakisser Chronicles, Book One

    Waow... engels-wut Ava sure is tough to talk to. I think I probably annoy her as much as I get through to her, not that I'm unsatisfied. It's going well but WAOW she is like 200% mad. I am but a smol bean smh! I have no idea where I got the flirt point with her from, but that's funny. Genuinely kind of interesting doing the dance of "will this be needling her and annoy her, or will it make her say "uwu" I wonder" about it. This kind of 'social sim' metagame is fun too, when I can engage with it at my own speed.

    I wanna know what flavour of Br*tish her accent is. It's not an automatic no-go but some posh accents are kinda lame. Will always prefer scottish and irish accents of all types.

    E: Oh gosh I played bottom when I looked at her in the car, sheesh!!! This is goofy fun, I like this a lot. Ditching "relationship points" was a good idea though, since I sometimes follow the compulsion to get em.

    More

    After a while, I find there's an odd sense of calm that comes from standing beside her. It makes my tension ease and sends a flutter through my stomach. Maybe it's her lithe, solid figure, or possibly the tight-lipped frown I doubt anyone would bother trying to mess with, or the confidence that radiates off her that wants to cover me like a velvet blanket.

    Can anybody help, my detective is a total bottom, lmao.

    Turning her focus back to Ash, Ava's surprised to find the detective's cheeks flushed pink, their lower lip caught between their teeth. What Ava hadn't realised when she put the scarf around Ash is that she'd had to step much closer. The gap between them is now barely a couple of inches.

        It's more fun than anyone else so far, like she's mean or whatever but not really. Like it takes maybe two seconds of being an uwu smol detective at her before she starts making fuckin' tsundere noises, very funny.

          I must play book 3 when I have the time, I was generic and went with the Nat route lol though I want to try all of them, but I'm not that good at replaying because I either get bored or speedrun through it

              I like Nat tbh, I also want to do an Ava route, she's great too when not closed off, the Ava+Nat route was enlightening related to Ava even if sad as fuck lmao

              Idk about Morgan and Farah not too much interaction though in my current route I get along very well with Farah. I also like Nat cause she doesnt try to force you into bed compared to other routed from what I heard lol

                        joker-stare HEY WAIT A SEC

                        The Themperor option matches the Straight Male one!!! Woooooow that's REALLY fucking bad. So straight man is proactive, women and gay guys are always submissive, and an enby just follows the straight man... oh wow, when I saw the code was just storing "enby, likes women" as "straight" I snorted, but maybe it goes deeper. Makes me wonder.

                          sometimes the enby option is different but a lot of the time it does just default to either male or female, the enby option was definitely just dropped in at the last second

                            Fwiw I doubt there's a need to write something bespoke every single time but the overlapping factors for this scene in particular, yeesh. Fwiw also I think this is the only time I went "WAOW THAT AINT ME" about the narration so, this probably got better in later books?

                                      also there's atleast one point if you come in with a bold flirt while usually being the bottomiest bottom to ever bottom and Farah and Morgan are both like "peppino-why Well why doesnt she just do THAT all the TIME??"
