Starting FROM THE TOP. Which means I'm re-reading a decent chunk of stuff but you know what? It's good stuff, so to hell with it. First thought upon opening the beginning of chapter one "I was just reading my books and the camera turned on by itself, I am not a model."
Lu is like, if you distilled the unsetting parts of Gamzee and Equius, subtracted horses and then added them onto Fefeta. Gamzee + Equius, - Horse, +(Feferi+Nepeta) = Lu Character math.
My point is that Lu is really adorable and then every now and then she says something unsettling and/or terrifying.
Like this. I get the distinct impression that Lu and Galley's moirailship is reverently sitting in the Dubcon zone, staring at people and daring them to comment on it. I also get the impression that Lu is blissfully unaware of this.
Bel tripping over himself not trying to say anything else insensitive is absolutely hilarious and also embarrassing. Like a white guy trying to point out his black friend in a crowd of white guys, without mentioning the fact that his friend is black. "He's the... one in the red shirt... holding a bottle of pepsi..."
Yeah, no, Lu DEFINITELY doesn't understand how messed up this is. I want to hug her and shake her at the same time, but doing the second thing might be a bad idea.
Lu, hitting people over the head with MASSIVE BOOKS isn't how you get them to settle down. It's how you give them a concussion. GoddAMMIT Lu.
