for the book King Falls thank you book :>
podvember day 6! King Falls… furries… Sorry Ben me and my friends were touchingly united in that Ben’s animal is a racoon…
Podvember 3! Why yes, I went overboard, but hey, what time is more appropriate to draw the local AM radio crew than 3AM!? I don’t actually know what pancake puppies are so I just hope google didn’t lie because these don’t really look like pancakes OR dogs…
podvember day 5! I don’t actually know if he really says spit or sit, but I hear spit the first time and it almost made ME spit out my tea so it will always be spit in my heart

I'm very curious how a person can segue from that boat conundrum into a marriage proposal.
Okay, for those who aren’t familiar:
According to the story, the Greek hero Jason and a few dozen of his best pals went out adventuring on a big ship called the Argo. After the adventure, the ship was brought and put on display as a treasure.
The thing about ships, though, is that it was made out of wood, and wood degrades over time.
So eventually the sails would get threadbare and they’d have to replace it with a new one, or the mast would crack down the center and they’d have to replace it with a new one, or some of the boards would get termites and they’d have to replace them with new ones.
Eventually, every single piece of the ship had been replaced. So the big question: at this point, is it actually the Argo?
Is it still the same ship that Jason sailed on when he didn’t set foot on a single board of it?
things i love about lieutenant commander renée minkowski:
- how her insults for eiffel include “you insubordinate hyena” and “you cretinous lizard”
- how after getting drunk/high from hilbert’s mystery talent show brew she tries to stage a musical, threatens hilbert at gunpoint to make her pirate costumes and ice cream, and blows a hole in the side of the station with a cannon
- how she spends multiple weeks hunting the plant monster as a way to cope with the stress of everything happening around her
- how deeply she cares about helping lovelace get back to earth even when they don’t trust each other
- how the first thing she does when she’s alone with eiffel after he returns from spending 200 days alone on lovelace’s shuttle is give him a big hug (while silently crying, according to the script)
- how she calls kepler a “disgusting piece of human garbage” while trying to outplay him during the mutiny
- how after years of not understanding eiffel’s pop culture references she finally finds a common reference with him in the form of les mis lyrics
- how bright-eyed and excited she sounds when she first arrives on the hephaestus and realizes that she has achieved her dream of having her own command in space
- how she kills cutter with A GODDAMN HARPOON
- how after enduring two and a half years of constant struggles on the hephaestus she is finally able to get her crew home and knows that she has truly become the leader that she always wanted to be

tiny brain: minkowski’s command override is VULCAN because it’s the Roman equivalent for the god Hephaestus
galaxy brain: minkowski’s command override is VULCAN because she’s secretly a star trek nerd and that’s why she and eiffel, a known star wars nerd, don’t immediately get along.
if renee minkowski were to punch me in the face, I would thank her
