12.10.2025 16:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Strong agree, it's like a little window into two souls at the same time. The little moments are often the most interesting because it shows what both consider as they move through the world (and tale)
12.10.2025 14:59 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0That has a lot of punch. Universal feeling unlocked! ๐ฅ
Guess I'll be avoiding mirrors for a while. That creature staring back through the glass has nothing I want ๐
Everyone seems to think so, but surely it's just an innocent offer of a refreshing beverage after a hard day's labouring...what else could it possibly be ๐
12.10.2025 14:36 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Wait it's just innocent tea...probably. Delicious, tantalising tea. Refreshing se...sweet tea. Yum.

12.10.2025 12:18 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's very refreshing after a hard day's work. Or a kick to start your morning. Ben is so wholesome.
12.10.2025 12:13 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That's the sweet spot. Somewhere between agony and ecstacy ๐
12.10.2025 11:12 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This is really thoughtful piece of analysis. The paradox exposed. Ultimately all that is left is acceptance that it can't change. Really nice read. ๐ฅ

12.10.2025 10:08 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Lots of love interest in our "hope" snips today. I love that way you've laid this out though, because it puts forward the immediacy of the emotion while acknowledging the future could change, but that'll be tomorrow's problem.
12.10.2025 10:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0You've nailed that growing fascination where every little thing about them becomes part of your entire world. This sort of slow bleed that you don't notice until the thrill takes you every time they are near.
12.10.2025 10:03 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Ben kinda has it bad for our Captain. But does she feel the same, or is she a floating mess of compacting poor choices that will ultimately hurt them both? ๐ฎ Or, none of the above? Who knows! But it's probably the middle one ๐

Well, it'd be no fun having a space ship that worked properly all of the time would it? ๐
11.10.2025 13:50 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That would be more fun. Sadly for the crew I invented a "don't look too closely" ACME Gravity Generator to keep them mostly on the floor. ๐

In this scene, I don't think Elara is in the mood for keeping morale up. Bad, grumpy Captain!
Nice tension build ๐ฅ

A longish time ago in a galaxy quite far away...
Doesn't have the same ring to it.
