Damn you automatic saves... DAMN YOU!!!
FFS... at some point this evening I lost my squid ship. I think I even know when - I was doing a round of respawned crashed starships to get more nanites and storage augmentations, and there was a point I accidentally started to swap ships instead of claiming one. I thought I chose the right option to cancel out of the swap, but NOPE. I apparently traded my fully augmented squid ship out for a junker worth a tiny fraction of its value.
And of course the new automatic saves screwed me over, because while I had done a manual save before starting my rounds, the manual save had been overwritten since, so I can’t even revert to that. Fucking hell.
*Bangs her head repeatedly against desk*
Feel this close to rage quitting NMS over this, but thankfully my screenshotting habits mean I know where to go to reacquire the ship, and I have all this cash and nanites and at least a few storage augments to throw at re-equipping it. Thankfully I also didn’t have much of anything in its inventory, beyond whatever was left from the last time I shot up asteroids, and some extra metal plating and glass so I could do some amount of construction before needing to summon my building material hauler.
Argh. Fuck. Fucking hell. Yes I am peeved. I would far rather be redoing the last couple hours of trading in crashed starships than this.

I had wanted to do a more thematic picture for halloween this year, but I just didn't manage to make time u_u
But I am at least delivering on my promise of more Needle. Honestly I had a bunch of things I wanted to add to this but It was also just taking too long, so I'll leave some of it to text...
---- Lore ----
Artificial Vampire: Needle
Age: 21
Age of death: 17
Height: 156 cm
Weight: 70 kg (She has a decent amount of brass in her body)
Needle comes from an alternate earth setting similar to modern life that we know on the surface, but with shadows thick with supernatural horror just below. One such horror is vampires, of which several kinds and cultures exist, but most major governments co-operate with the largest most organized group of them - Afterlight Agency, which has grown to be more of a sort of government than a unified origanization. Agency vampires negotiate the protection of humans from other supernatural entities in return for feeding rights, information control, legal protections, whatever else they can squeaze from their hosts.
Naturally this is a carefully kept secret, and for the most part genuinely beneficial to humans on a population level, if not on an individual one. Still there are those who resent Afterlight and its 'people' convinced that this is nothing more than a large scale protection racket (okay it sort of is) and bristle at the idea of keeping the masses ignorant sheep, sheparded by those who consume them for sustenance.
Needle is the product of one such group -The Steel Masons, an extremist secret society that seek to secure occult power for the benefit of man, and to expose vampires for the parasites that they are.
Needle was created by Dr. Tilly Hornwood, by gradually saturating the flesh of a living human with specially treated vampire blood and various surgical interventions. Dr. Hornwood hoped to instill vampiric power into a living human and do away with their less desirible traits. In this regard Needle is a failure, for while she technically never died during the long and painful process she is certainly not alive now (not conventionally anyway) She does possess some of the common advantages of the undead - regeneration, strength, speed but to a lesser degree than even a young vampire, and still has most of the typical weaknesses flaws one might expect of their kind.
Needle's most unique trait is that anything in which a sufficient portion of her cursed blood flows acts as a part of her body, and she can feel, perceive and control it as if it were a natural extension of herself (After some adjustment). The effect attenuates rapidly if the blood does not make a round trip to her heart, but still last a few minutes in ideal cases. Anything affected by this also enjoys the benefits of her vampiric powers allowing her to integrate with all sorts of attachments - like her injector tail - or various weapons and devices devised by the Steel Masons. Her blood is most effective on dead flesh, including that of vampires, and brass.
I'll leave this here for now since my self-consciousness is getting unbearable and I'm sure I've already made 10000 typos u_u

Listen, guys.
I do not think Blue Team will break over this. I actually think even in character Bad, Pierre and Tubbo understand each other enough to not cut each other off over this.
Tubbo is not joining Red over his leadership position either, because there was never such a solid hierarchy on Blue. Yes, Tubbo is a leader and a lot of times he has a final saying. Yes, Bad and Tina are basically co-leaders. It’s still not a carved in stone thing for them, they’re more equal than anything.
Let’s also NOT hate on Bad and Pierre and other blues for what happened. Yes Pierre went against Tubbo’s plan, AND HE HAD VALID REASONS TO. BOTH in character and meta (as we know now). Bad STICK WITH IT THROUGHOUT ON HIS PART UNTIL THE END WHERE MISCOMMUNICATION DID HAPPEN. Tubbo did so so good and tried his best to save everyone and it’s so noble of him, BUT HE STILL LIED TO BAD ABOUT WHAT HE IS DOING WHICH IS NOT EXACTLY A TRUST-FORMING THING TO DO. They all had their reasons. They are all valid in their actions. You can dislike those actions, but do not hang Bad and Pierre on the cross as sinners and hail Tubbo as a saint. None of this is a complete truth.
This also doesn’t mean that statements and headcanons about Blue being Found Family are invalid. They are very valid. Not every family is perfect and in 10000% agreement all the time. There’s respect, and there’s care for each other. So they will prevail. I also agree with Tubbo that when they get Tina on and maybe other teammates, this will be resolved.
But as a funky note: today is what i expected to have every day when Pierre, Bad and Tubbo were announced to be on the same team🤣
