Trans guy, artist, writer and worldbuilder.

This account is NSFW primarily but therew ill be SFW floating around. NSFW can and will mean porn which will be tagged thoroughly. I draw many things and many expressions of kinks so ifyou do not like my tags or the preview tags then please do not see them if what they say bothers you. Curate your own experience and don't say I didn't warn you!

I may also refer to topics that are not porn but still classed in some degree as NSFW. For example I have many characters who battle with religion or similar things and I may do little rambles on these. Again it'll all be tagged. Please read/look at your own discretion.

I also like monsters and critters and I do draw humans too. I particularly like predatory things or eldritch horrors and I will also say I do like to draw some extreme iterations of kinks involving these. There may also be chaos critters running around.

The Calamity beyond the Shattered Sky

"Hey, Xho?", the radio crackled with increasing static as the channels were overwhelmed by the background radiation emanating from the combat space near the buoy, "Come back to the team in one piece, okay?"

"I will Frills, when I do we're going on that date, like it or not.", Xho'toc glanced at the information display away from the holo-screen. "Love you."

"L- ve y-....", the short range jamming frequency had finally become effective for the civilian channel Zeihei was using.

Imagine being able to do these maths off the top of your head really fast while being shot at

I make a big fuss about how important cognitive load managing implants are in my scifi setting and it's not big enough. Here's some Wikipedia articles you can look at.

Orbit Equation
Angular Momentum

Often times, scifi will brush over these math concepts by making computers do everything, and because I actually have a comprehension of how much math Navy Pilots on Earth have to do in a split second, I've got an appreciation and natural fascination with how impossible math in space feels.

SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THIS.

That's incredible - both the story and the math. I really like how much the work of doing the numbers matters to this pilots survival. it's not a depiction of dogfighting that I've seen before

I've often wondered how much we would be able to do by intuition, if we spent enough time living in space. because like, take throwing a rock - it's more complicated by the numbers than one would think, right? but humans figured out how to do it without having to think about it, before we had any concept of numbers. running, jumping, driving etc... if one piloted a ship for a long time how much would ones proprioception extend to the ship, how much would become second nature?

I love this question, and it extends beyond the biological when you account for brain implants and other augmented reality based systems like optical overlays you can beam directly into someone's field of view without needing a screen. Would it help you fly better if you could 'feel' your ship's position relative to other objects? This kind of thing always fascinates me, it's so cool when it comes up in other scifi's particularly the larger Mecha genre

This reminds me of the only instance of one submarine sinking another submarine while both are submerged, the defeat of U-864, which used unguided torpedoes and therefore required some heroic assumptions and a distressing manual calculation.

AH MAN, this is one of those things that I knew upon reflection but never actively think about. Most of navy combat is a form of trajectory and estimation, WW2 has the best documented examples of just how fucking metal combat at sea gets when you're shooting at distant dots on the horizon (or in this case, effectively the abstract logic of sonar).

Really absurd how duels between submarines is amped up in the media about them (making them feel like a more common affair in the availability biasing kind of way), but the reliable way to kill a submarine is to just drop a bomb on it from a helicopter or plane. I do oh so love the incredible scifi tone of cold war submarine dramas regardless.
