Hate to do this again, really thought we were in the clear but finishing up the last of my expenses last month ate more than I needed for the start-of-month insurance and etc withdrawals yesterday/last night. If possible (and please don't worry if not, I feel terrible even asking), I'd be wildly appreciative if you could visit my Ko-Fi.
Much thanks and even more apologies again 💜💜💜
I was gonna respond with a screenshot from Battle Royale but your answer's funnier.

what was ceres reaction the first time monroe brought jax to the med bay after eros
rubeau-art answered:
Monroe didn’t wait for the others to get off the Raven before sprinting off. He couldn’t see straight, could barely think past the fragile weight of the tiny body clutched in his hands. He needed to get to Ceres. She would be able to help, right? She would be able to fix whatever it was that had cause Jax to-
He burst into Ceres’ office, and a pen bounced off his helmet.
“Monroe? What the hell?” Ceres stood behind her desk, chair fallen behind her from how hard she’d jumped. “You can’t do that-” She paused, her eyes dropping to Monroe’s hands, “What? What’s wrong?”
He stepped forward and pressed his hands into hers, passing the little bundle over. “Help him.”
The desperation in Monroe’s voice caught her off guard. Slowly, she looked down at what Monroe had pressed into her hands.
It took her a minute to really process what she was looking at. It was Jax. Red dust still clinging to his armour. His tiny body was limp in her hands, barely filling her palm. The tiny weight of his limbs almost nothing and yet somehow the heaviest thing she had ever held. If she looked closely, she could see the feeble rise and fall of Jax’s chest.
Her hands trembled.
Monroe was talking. She hadn’t been paying attention in her shock.
“-The thumper went off and he-”
“Go get cleaned up, Monroe.” Ceres said gently putting Jax down on the desk. She didn’t want to feel that weight in her hands. “I’ll look after him. Go look after yourself, then come back and tell me everything.”
Monroe looked over at Jax, then back to Ceres. There was nothing he could do to help right now anyway. She was right, he needed to see the others and get himself cleaned up.
“Okay…” He didn’t move.
Ceres touched his arm and gently pushed him to the door. “Go on, I’ve got this.”
Another hesitation. Then with a little nod, Monroe left her office.
The door slid closed and Ceres turned her gaze back down to the tiny figure on the desk. Whatever calm she had mustered for Monroe, slipped in an instant and panic filled her chest. Her hands shook so much, she didn’t trust herself to touch him lest she break something. But she had to do something- The scanner. She could do that. At least then she would know if anything was already broken.
“Okay… Okay, you’ve got this.” She spoke softly to herself as she pulled her hair back and tied it. “Deep breaths. He’s still breathing. Scanner first, then when your hands have stopped shaking, you can try get that armour off him.”
It was a start. She’d figure out the rest when she got there.

[Ceres is pretty good at keeping it together for the sake of others, but as soon as that door is closed, she is freaking out.
She doesn’t want to touch Jax, she doesn’t want to be in charge of this situation at all, but if he’s to stand a chance without sending him off to be poked and prodded by someone else, she has to.]
So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter
(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)
Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list
(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)
another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…]
and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”
Further update!
Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!
(thread found here: https://twitter.com/tithenai/status/1655613629604016151?s=20)
In addition:
I know it made it up to #6 at one point. Being a pre-existing fan of both Trigun and This is How You Loose the Time War made this especially enjoyable.
I’m just going to add some more Twitter screencaps I pasted into the groupchat.
The producer of Trigun Stampede. (No word from Nightow yet, I checked.)
A literary agent. To be precise, the agent of at least one of the authors of Time War.
Slate, posting their article about the whole thing.
A frenzy of mutual adoration and signed hardcover offers.
Other authors want in on the Bigolas Dickolas goodness.
Dongwon again.
Saw this on Twitter and HAH.
Bigolas Dickolas is now Alexander the Great.
And finally, the forecast is good for a livestream of Max and Amal watching Trigun.
Updates, because this is the most hilarious thing to come out of Twitter in a long time:

*scrolling tumblr* hmmm. i agree with the sentiment of this post, but the phrasing feels off to me. it doesn’t really have that Reblog factor, you know? *scrolls* oh good, a post that just says “i jerk off till my penis scrweam” . i better reblog this
“Yeah… I really don’t want to go out there right now.”

Between the Main Outpost and the old Hangar, there are a series of unused tunnels that only Kim has the access codes to. Delta use these to get to and from the hangar, as well as pop up and disappear for training purposes.
It took Jax a bit too long to realise that crawling on hands and knees is way more practical and safe for others around him while in these tunnels, than doing his stupid crab shuffle.

Forcing myself to do more backgrounds again.
(This one was another sketch for an ask that quickly got out of hand)
working with little kids is so dangerous. you get one kid who has a unique way of speaking & then spend the rest of your life with an internal monologue like “me’s go bathroom?”
other thrilling destructions of my vocabulary:
I am never going to forget how my kid used to combine “bunny” and “rabbit” (admittedly a very inefficient confusing way to refer to the same thing) into the far more streamlined and sensible “Babbit.” They are babbits. They just are.
The most PATHETIC lil baby sounds...
I love when little creatures who are entirely loved and well cared for have the BIGGEST baby reactions to normal things. Like yes sweet pea, you DO have the hardest life of anyone ever, for sure, and you’re SO BRAVE about this minor inconvenience of *checks notes* having some water touch you
There is nothing sadder and more pathetic than a baby marine mammal having to get into the water. They are suffering the most out of any baby animal ever. How dare they be introduced to their natural environment.
