Fun Fact

Okay hear me out!! But I'm thinking of Yandere!Boothill with a housewife!Darling. He dresses you in the cutest dresses just to chase you around. Making you think if you can just get far enough you'll be able to escape this sadistic man. You run as fast as you can, kicking off the impractical shoes he makes you wear. Trying all so desperately to escape. But it's futile, his lasso wraps around your ceasing you motion and pulling you back to his strong crushing arms.
"You'll never escape me, bitchy~"
Fun Fact: Boothill is the name of a haunted cemetery in Tombstone Arizona. Does anyone else get the reference??
Let me actually try and explain the brainworms I have for these two (Click for better quality since tumblr loves decimating image quality)
Peak enemies-to-lovers vibes. They're both so stubborn and ready to pick fights with each other, but once they catch feelings it's ALL DOWNHILL FROM THERE
Once they catch The Feels theres no going back for either of them. They would DIE for the other if it meant protecting him. ... *nervously glances at Gigamix for Cut and Archie for Quick* haha ANYWAYS-
Also listening to All At Once while making this and feeling very normal /lying

Summary:
After touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) and Mosscap (a robot sent on a quest to determine what humanity really needs) turn their attention to the villages and cities of the little moon they call home.
They hope to find the answers they seek, while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe.
Becky Chambers's new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?
They're going to need to ask it a lot.
*Opinions*
This series is just delightful, these characters are delightful, this world is delightful, and the questions that this novella raises make me think far too much about morality and existence than one would think possible in a book that is just under 150 pages. I was worried that this second novella wouldn’t be able to live up to the feeling that the first novella gave me, but it was like slipping into a warm sweater to go back on the road with Sibling Dex and Mosscap as they return to society after their adventures in the wilds. Becky Chambers gives snippets of that adventure and the questions that it raises and gives a better look at this hope-punk world that she has created. While this novella didn’t make me cry, I still enjoyed every single page.
Chambers once again tackles the ideas of purpose and burnout in this novella, which makes me confront myself about how I take care of myself and approach the world and my place in it. However, Chambers does it in a comforting way, staying in the scenes in which Dex confronts these ideas just enough to get the point across without sending the reader into a spiral of despair. The discussions about purpose are the same, though I feel like that is more of a focus in this novella with both Dex and Mosscap questioning their place in the world and how to complete what they see as their mission being with each other. Chambers really doesn’t try to answer any of these questions, just lets the characters discuss it on the page and pull meaning as they see fit. It is rather calming to have other people wrestle with these issues and not have to engage in them if you don’t want to.
Dex and Mosscap as characters are relatable and rather anxious individuals, which I appreciate as someone else who has anxiety. They are both attempting to do their best, but are constantly confronted with new ideas and how they fit into a world that is changing or being seen in a new way. Their banter and conversations are just lovely to read and I like their buddy road trip from village to village. They have learned to understand one another without words and what the other needs, sometimes before the other individual did. It was just so nice to watch them become friends and protective of one another.
As always, Chambers makes gender and sexuality just things that exist in this world and not needing explanation or shame. Dex’s parents have multiple partners and everyone lives rather harmoniously on the farm together, which is so nice. There is no label placed on anyone’s sexuality, but it is nice to see that non-monogamous relationships are just as accepted as any other. With everything going on in the world, it is so refreshing to escape into a world where people are allowed to be who they want to be and love who they want to live in peace. It’s sad and frustrating that sexuality and individual presentation seem to be more far-fetched than some of the science in this science fiction these days.
Overall, a warm hug of a book or listening to two friends talk about life and philosophy on a relaxing weekend away. I strongly recommend this series and will probably read it again and again over and over again. Five stars, no questions.
So I took this picture for demonstration purposes on Twitter, and looking at it always kinda makes me sad.
See, this is the back of the box for the Rockman 5 "Rush Area" model kit set by Bandai circa 1993. You look at that diorama and think "oh hell yeah, toys of... almost all the Robot Masters from 5!"
Yeah, about that. Near as can be told, only four kits ever saw release. Rockman, Rush, Star Man, and Blues. The ones with numbers on the far left-bottom.
You get a close look at the other "kits" and it's obvious they're prototypes, not actual kits. Their details are painted, not stickers. They don't have wrong color parts like Star Man does thanks to the needs of cheap model kit sprue-ing. They're clearly based on the stock art poses and in some places, completely solid, no joints.
This was not uncommon for quite a while in Japan. They showed off concept art (exquisitely realistically-painted art, sometimes) and prototypes like it was finished product you'll be able to get eventually. Sometimes you did get them. Sometimes you never did. Hell, sometimes when they imported stuff from the US, they'd show the entire run of US toys in ads and catalogs and then would very definitely not release it all.
The Robot Masters get so little merch outside of tiny keshi, so to see possibly my favorite batch of bots in the entire franchise like this, so close and yet so far... sigh.
(I been looking for the Star Man kit forever. Pretty much sure I'll never have it.)
