I'm just here to laugh at "Anna has a type" and also smartness and modesty curves :DD and I DIDNT THINK OCTOPUS EMISSION WAS CRITICAL SORRY XDD Plus, I think, A. had mentioned it in her review? So I considered my job done lol.
<33 at shared-for-company canons and ridiculous cosplays and sestinas - let's never stop! :3
It's OK! I have forgiven you for withholding critical critter information! :)
And, you are an excellent catalyst enabler fandom crack partner, my dear! <333
(P.S. I finished the Warchild fic you linked me too -- that was really good! Have you read this one (Jos-centric AU-lets)? #3 was especially relevant to my interests, and I think might be interesting to you as well.)
Now I've read it, thanks! They are all pretty cool as AUs *nods* though I still wish for more fic like that one with Ryan, with a fun and sassy narration to balance the whole sadness and brittleness. Also! As you might have guessed, I am done with Cagebird, also done reading all of warchilduniverse blog (inluding the author vignettes! there is one EXTRA cool one which you can also read, as it is after Burndive and is a lot like that fic - it's in my tag, along with a few more fanarts and even a baby Cairo with Ashrafi family vignette :DD)
PS. Also there is a tvtrope page and it literally lists Niko and Azarcon as enemy mine :DDDDD
Welll, there went my morning XD So I've read all the vignettes that looked non-spoilery for not-yet-being-done with Cagebird, and the baby Cairo and the Ashrafis one is very relevant to my interests:
“But we have to trust him. He has to feel that we trust him or he won’t trust himself.”This is really neat! Clearly this is where Cairo learned the logic he used in sending Ryan for tea-times on Nico's ship
( ... )
Except maybe for his captain. I asked him that once: “How come you got Azarcon’s ear?”
“Look at me,” was his deadpan reply.
I could be jealous, maybe, if it was the captain.
So okay, for whatever reason I managed to completely miss vignette #7 yesterday, and thanks for alerting me to it! That was - cool. Also hot. And so much psycho twinkle :DD
How far along cagebird are you? *curious* did you get stuck at some moment you disliked or something?
Baby Cairo vignette was all sorts of painful where Halloween one was all glee. (Seriously. DORR IN DRAG. I think I passed out from all the laughter. And I love Evan <333) Good point re: where Azarcon learnt to trust Ryan with Niko, too.
I'm not sure Cairo deigns to dress up. Or he dresses up as jet :P
Thanks! I want to draw most of main characters, I think (and what do you mean Dorr isn't main, he totally is!) and right now I'm stuck imagining all the improbable haircuts Baby Az could have gotten XD
Dorr is just so much fun! And I really, really wanna know about his and Cairo's backstory. I do think Cairo is telling the truth about not having lovers on his ship, but you know Erret tried flirting with him, too, when he first joined the crew, and I'd pay good money to see how it went XD
I like this Rick guy, too, I find, and even sorta vaguely remember him from Warchild. Interesting background he's got there!
Or he dresses up as jet :PThat's pretty much what I was thinking, yeah XD Or a pilot! One of the extra bits on Lowachee's Tumblr -- one of the deleted scenes, I think? -- reminded me or maybe revealed for the first time that Azarcon was a pilot before he made Captain, and he probably still has his uniform stashed in the back of his closet somewhere
( ... )
Also, please pay attention that Cairo said that in present tense. MAYBE they had something in the past and ended it, for whatever reason? (But yessss, I would have so loved to see it even if it's just Dorr hitting on him. Book 4 promises us Cairo and Erret on Aian-na, and I WANT TO SEE IT TOO :DD
( ... )

That consideration occurred to me also, but I do think Cairo steered cleer of sleeping with any of his crew at least from the point of becoming Captain. I just have a feeling that (his general emotional constipation aside; obviously he's not as bad as Jos in this department) that would've felt too close to Falcone's way for him to consider it. (And before he became Captain, he was probably too focused on getting there, per the baby Cairo vignette.) So I'm thinking celibate while on ship and letting people outside of his chain of command seduce him while on shore leave, that sort of thing.
And YES, can't wait to see Cairo and Erret on Aian-na!
but Dorr is 150% gay
Yes, I came across that, too -- I actually read through the entirety of her Tumblr, too, except for the stuff that looked psoilery for the last third of Cagebird -- and was summarily unsurprised.
I'm amused Karin called him Erret's best friend in some of her notes
( ... )
Yes, very likely, too. Given that Song hit on Cairo in some seedy bar on Azarcon, especially so. I still wish for a full three-act spectacle of Erret hitting on him, though :DD or something

Saaame. I'd also like to see what it was that finally made him STOP, since nothing seems to be capable of stopping Erret in his incorrigible behaviour. Did Cairo thrash him with, like, dirty fighting Erret did not expect from EarthHub brass? (though possibly that would've just encouraged him...)
Sid IS последний оплот человечества in terms of uncompromising heterosexuality in this book
Ahaha that is perfect, that is exactly what he is, and I agree that's a large part of why Erret fixates on him. Probably also his type (guess we'll see once there's more of Rick...) but in large part because Erret is a trolly troll who trolls, to be sure.
He's kind of awful at existing in an environemnt where he doesn't like anyone,so he starts liking people and that's such a disaster every time.Yeah, this is very true, and sad. I mean, he manages to find Finch in prison where he knows no-one, and so give people a lever over himself. And it dovetails (heh
( ... )
Noo, Erret getting his ass handed to him (heh) is the opposite of stop signal, I agree XDD It has to be something else altogether. WILL WE EVER KNOWWWW.
Oh re:Sid btw, I read this one eyebrow-raising comment in her meta notes on tumblr how one could read Ryan as being almost in love with Sid, and went WHAAAAT??? at that, because that is so utterly and totally not how I see it or will ever see it?? Their relationship is so much that of a family I don't understand why author even said that.
I am glad to see you read Yuri similarly in terms of disasterous attachments - I agree with what you said above (including the questionable pun,lol <3). It hadn't occurred to me to continue this train of through long enough to encompass Dexter, too (yanno me :P), but it absolutely falls under the same paradigm
( ... )

Right? I'm genuinely curious!

Yeah, I saw that too, and was surprised. I ended up talking about it a bit in my writeup, but basically... I think Ryan could definitely have a crush on Sid under very different circumestances, where Sid wasn't his brother/surrogate father/sleeping with his mom, but in this current universe, yeah, no. He does keep making cracks at Sid, the whole "we could start an affair" "you wanna watch me shower" stuff, but then, this is a kid who says "do you tie up all your dates" to his father, so, that could well just be Ryan using his talent for riling people up with nothing deeper than that.
