one of the most ship dynamics of all time

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye

numbers 18, 34, 62, and 98 for anarchisma character prompt you posted recently?

boy boy boy you got SO lucky you have no idea !!!!!! also hey its u i havent seen u in my notes for a while!! welcome back!! :)

ok so number 18 is a young woman named ede! she's a bio-engineer (pak expert and technician basically) who has some interesting ideas about defects- her dissertation was all about how wefy coding, a form of defective coding where a task is complected but in a roundabout way and/or on a technicality, is actually a good thing and if machine learning AIs develop ways of doing things irkens consider "defective," then perhaps they learned to do it that way for a reason and it should be analyzed and, in some cases, left as-is. she's not very popular and in her fermi fic, she's struggling to find a job and drowning in debt.

irken housing works like this: you can live somewhere rent-free, but unpaid rent will accumulate as debt, and the caveat is you can't move until you at least start paying it off.

sounds good, right? well... there's one big problem with it. y'see, ede here is trying to find a job in her field, and there are height maximums on drone work, so she can't exactly do that in the meantime. there are only so many bio-engineering labs near her, and eventually she'll run out of places to apply to.... what then? she's stuck where there aren't jobs! and she can't move anywhere to get a job because without a job, she can't begin to repay her debts!

but its okay! she eventually gets a job... though she starts to notice some. weird things with it. but youll want to remember her because she has her own arc and a feature fic (i.e. a non-anthology multichapter) she's the protagonist of!

also fun facts: ede was meant to be a very minor character, but one of my friends liked her a lot so i started featuring her more and more until she landed in her current role! so thats cool, thanks xryn shes the best character because of u

number 34 is a minor character to break the whole thing up, his name is jeek and he's one of zim's roommates on foodcourtia! he's not very important, just a fun side character ^^ he's a bit grumpy but not outright hostile. not much to say about him, he truly is Just Some Guy lmao,, him and zim (and the rest of the foodcourtia gang) are really close though! and he gets to tell people that he was roommates with one of the tallests for a little while! (bc remember in fermi 1, red lived with zim? :3 ) nobody believes him tho rip

and again with the bangers!! number 62 is pax, and he's honestly like. one of my favorite characters ever lmao. he's a rare hybrid type, half irken and half peikan- most peikans were obliterated during a war with irk and its resulting organic sweep- pax's father was one of the only few left. he looks like a normal irken externally, but he has very different internal biology, the most striking being blue blood, which in turn gives him a blue tongue! he's also omnivorious with a preference for meat and other savory foods

his experiences being a strange hybrid-type led him to being a medic- before he did that, though, he went through specialized biology schooling to become a certified exobiologist- not only is he an expert on his own species, he's an expert on non-irken biology as well! he then went through medic training and joined the irken army as a special type of combat medic called a stealth medic- it's an irken strategy used where a medic dresses in a standard elite uniform, in order to make it harder for the enemy to tell which irken is the medic and where the medic is at any given time. of course, this makes stealth medics not protected by wartime ordinances that forbid shooting at medics, but it's a small price to pay

one day, pax was doing standard combat medic duties (i.e. HE WAS WEARING WHITE and PROTECTED UNDER WAR CRIME LAWS) and he was deliberately lured into an open area via the enemy nonlethally shooting at an irken soldier so he'd come and help them, then shooting at him, blowing his arm off in the process. he tried his best to save his platoonmate but it didnt.... work. for his dedication in battle and also the sacrifice he gave for his empire, he was awarded a medal. yay for him lmao. at this point he was pretty done with the empire's shit, especially due to him insisting he needed a peikan doctor to install his new bionic arm's socket and eventually getting one from the resisty, being forced to get a highly invasive and painful "fish-hook" socket since it anchors the arm in so it wont be ripped off in battle, and the general lack of care over his own mental wellbeing after it, just "oh got your new arm? good! start relearing how to do medic stuff so we can put u back into battle kthx enjoy the parade"

anyway. he had to attend trial for the War. Crime. he was a victim of, but probing his pak memories of the accident also revealed that he was defective and therefore should not have even been in the military. panicked, he fled and ended up on cyberflox as a fugitive. he currently works at a warehouse selling perfectly normal wares, just perfectly normal smeets- items. items. they sell items!

anyway he's currently an extremely jaded ..... ""candy"" addict, who keeps everyone at arm's length and is unable to process the trauma that he went through in the army and his subsequent fleeing- the love of his life was later killed in action due to being shot and the new combat medic being unable to dose painkillers properly- his lover was also an addict and therefore needed a different painkiller dose- if pax was there, he would've lived. he's been through horrific trauma and all he can do about it is stay at a job he hates in order to somehow take it down from the inside, and do heroin at night to keep the nightmares at bay.

did i mention he's fifteen?

number 98 is titch! he's a zimlike heretirken who screams at the top of his lungs due to being near-completely deaf. he's currently developing an irken sign language called gesturespeak, and is interested in other languages and their nuances as a result! he wanted to be in the military but his father insisted he shouldn't, due to his inability to hear any threats. (it's a lot more complicated than that, but that's the excuse he's going with for now) his father did give him a heavy weapons flamethrower as a consolation prize though, and he loves that thing to death! we actually meet him in h-word as one of the heretirkens red runs into at some point! so look out for that lmao!!

anyway i hope u liked ur picks!! like i said in my other post, u picked ur numbers well because u got TWO protagonists and two of my favorite characters!!!!!!!
