YO SHE SHOULD That's what I love, it'll be great when they finally do talk, but also poor Shalikova, she must get there in her own time...
Oh, yeah I didn't mean literally brutalise lol, I meant more that while Maryan could easily still exist in this heavily cursed AU with her own arc and such, I don't think Karuniya would survive the separation process. I still must catch up, but her entire character currently orbits around everyone's favourite Husband Material, and literally the most evocative thought she's had was that bit about walking in on Murati fucking her roommate or whatever. She is nice but has not done anything yet :/ I never actually thought about having them break up in-universe but that's a good idea too... hmmmm...
I did consider doing humorous poly shenanigans, but uh I'm a monogamous nerd so I'd probably be less than equipped to write that :> easier to just AU it... Imma keep it 100 with u though, I'm actually more surprised that a massive polycule hasn't broken out on the Brigand. My goodreads marxist lady brought it up, but IRL if you put that many trans lesbians in one place, you'd need a chart like a spider web to disentangle all the poly drama right??? Maybe someday...
hmm yeah that's fair. karuniya does get some more stuff in the future but yeah, she's definitely a more periphery character. imagine the argument going worse, it leads to things being really awkward on the brigand, murati is throwing herself into her job and trying to get closer to her fellow pilots and really fixating on trying to get closer to sonya because she thinks sonya doesn't like her as sonya pushes her away because she's flustered and admiring her? this could be great
I am looking forward to Karuniya getting more stuff also!! I do think it's fun that Murati has a stabke healthy relationship, Karu has just been kinda sidelined by everything else so far...
OH NOOOOO THAT IS REALLY GOOD I HAVE TO WRITE THIS DOWN AAAAAAAA MAYBE THIS WILL HAPPEN
Okay I'm gonna catch up and then study a bunch before I even attempt this, but yeah me too. This started as a borderline showerthought when I was at work, but now I'm like "This is the secret best pairing that nobody considered!!! I must make it happen!!!"
Only 7, fr? For something with an actual fandom including a tumblr tag I'd have expected more. I make no promises but have started a note doc for a WIP. I Shall See
was thinking about this and i could see maryam getting on the brigand like in canon but getting fixated on elena who's the other character we know has psionic stuff going on rn, and is also an outsider so they'd have something to bond over. imagining them being forced to go read theory together
OH THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD, wow now I'll have to credit you whenever I finally write this. I am going to make Aaliyah bully them both, it's gonna be rad.
i imagine they keep going "what are you talking about?" whenever murati uses mordecaist jargon until everyone gets so annoyed they lock them in a room together with a copy of "mordecai for dummies"
Cursed considerations
