i think heroes and villains should meet in a hotel at night because it's after hours and theyre only a hero or villain from 9 to 5 so they say and one of them wakes up in the night to look over the other one asleep beside them not caring about the vulnerability of the state and the whole thing is cast under somber blue light because its nighttime. and the awake one saunters melancholically to the balcony to look out at the city lights. and theyre both girls
soooo, on a vacation trip a week ago, I stumbled over @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow in a book shop in Copenhagen and devoured it last weekend. It was quite the fun read. (And I am not that inclined to mechs 😄 but the rage filled female power fantasy and the setting felt rather refreshing to me) And after finishing the book I had to get at least some art out of my system.
