<- irony that she is on the brink of an hard eating disorder, the only thing keeping her stomach from loosing its digestion ability for solid food are her cooking, if she eats with the crew (often she doesn't just keeping around) and her beloved honey toast.

Arkham she owns a restaurant... Place... And it's interior but she is more of an take out person and finds the refined EQuil good enough.
And she only owns it do to the fact she helped someone out.
She knows her way around some foods but you wouldn't call it spectacular or even... "Good™"
She is basically the 24. Century noodlesoup student.

Ash as an AI knows all possible meals saved in her vaste data bank and you could call it cooking to print a perfect nurturing meal in the exact condition you wish it (or being able to communicate it to the computer).
Thanks to Kira's memories she made vast improvements taste wise.

Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?

Kira loves to cook and her Family Chilli is superior to that if her Mum (the ice queen), her sister's and even her dad's... (Not that this count much anymore). She clearly inherited her cooking skills from her biological family plus the nose for details from her second family.

It's ironic that with her skills she is the one that almost always comes back to unrefined Enzyme Printer Liquid (EQuil is basically printer ink and if you ask others unrefined it tastes exactly like, that if they would know what printer ink was).
She regularly cools for the whole crew and it's one of the reasons most of the crew really appreciate her, because she doesn't simply cook one pot, she takes the little spare time she has left as an acting captain to create a dish for all different ways people prefer to eat and even organizes the ingredients her self is possible, bitter sweet ->

02.06.2026 What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing with your current project?

Writing on it and not bloating the first chapter further...
My depressions wheren't especially kind this year and May always gets a bit harder, and a lot of my tech beaking wasn't helpful either.
I'm sure I have some backup of my writing somewhere but my Backup hard drive breaking before I could replace it, scrambled at least my easy access.

My mind is in a skip mood, can't handle, skip, don't want to think about, skip, stuck in mid story, skip...
Which is bad for my writing, it makes it a cluttered, chaotic thing.
And than their is this multiverse spawning in my head for over a year now, same characters different lives and I haven't even finished chapter 2 of my "start" story.

Well at least my mood is getting better lately.

I have a lot I want to convey with this space colony piece, and much of that depends on background detail.

It's not very far along, and I'll require *many* more layers on the background structures. But here's what I have so far:

A runway, a radio telescope, some pipes, and some solar panels.

It doesn't feel like much. But it's a start. But I haven't even begun on the colony proper on the right.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

I just finished writing this scene from my WIP, and I wanted to share it with you all.

Francis + Caius ❤️

(I'm not a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, but I am a strong ally. I included the pride hashtag below, but if that's inappropriate, please let me know and I'll remove it.)

Busy weekend with the school semester ending and all, I touched up the Clan insignia and just brushed a layer of gloss varnish all over. Landing struts excluded.

Doing the pin washing with Abteilung oils will be a slow and drawn process at this rate 😅 But I'm going to have lots of fun meanwhile, that is certain.
