I saw and agreed with both sides of Devo and Amber's arguments but i stood with my mouth open when Devo said " you never asked me how i feel" and Amber automatically assumed he was referring to the Joshy situation like she completely forgot his mother figure just fucking died... which speaks for a lot on Devo's side of the argument
That argument was such a clear line between both of them being in the right AND in the wrong. Im just so used to it being one or the other (usually devo)
Devo is such a lil shit and I love him. Amber too tbh. Love Zoox tho. Keep doing what you’re doing babe
it’s rough when your manipulative mother figure of 17 years dies mysteriously and then your new butch sharkfighting mother figure gets mad at you for disrespecting her dad/ol’ uncle figure and your android parent figure is very uncomfortable in the bg
i love amber and devo’s relationship, it reminds me of siblings in that they can’t fucking stand each other but also would kill for each other. and zoox is the other sibling who’s conflict averse and just trying to chill
I’m finally finishing old things!!
I literally had this so close to done all the way back when it was still relevant
Devo: *covers Amber's eyes* guess who
Devo: hes funny, he's cute, hes talented...
Devo: ande he'll beat your ass if you get it wrong

This is my first fic in a LONG time! Did I do this nifty little post-to-Tumblr thing from ao3 right?
I love how much everyone wants to draw their own version of Miss Amber Sharkhunter Gris, but I feel like we maybe all need a reminder that this woman is only canonically in her early forties and I’ve seen a lot of people drawing her as if she’s in her deep fifties or sixties. Drawing her looking extremely old. I think maybe people aren’t clear on her age?
When the settlement went underwater she was still a teenager training with joshy, so she would have been somewhere between 15-19 years old (but I think I recall her saying on the younger side so I really think it would be closer to 15-16 but I digress). And it’s been 25 years in the story since that happened.
15-19 plus 25 = 40-44
like I get that we don’t have enough representation of kickass older women but this feels so sexist because she’s NOT elderly or even middle aged yet, she’s maybe 44 at the very oldest!!! PLUS griffin said being away from the sun underwater for decades made everyone age slower bc of less solar radiation
The man voicing her character is roughly the same age! Justin is in his early forties. Would you call him a middle aged man? Would you draw him as if he were his dad Clint’s age? You know you wouldn’t! You heard “older woman” and “rough around the edges” and your mind filled in the blanks in a pretty sexist way
So: Draw her as an adult woman! Draw her with maybe the beginning of some crows feet or a few grey streaks in her hair! That’s all great stuff and I’m here for it
But don’t draw her as an ancient aged crone bc that just shows how little you care about or respect the life stages women over 40 go through. I know Hollywood seems to believe otherwise, but we don’t actually become hollowed out husks or swamp hags the minute we reach 45
I've found the most Amber Gris song in existence (especially for the Abyssal Auction arc lmao) Just listen to it you'll thank me 💖🦈
god bless Justin McElroy for bringing rough-and-tumble and often morally-grey middle-aged women to the table.
listening back thru The Abyssal Action and amber seeing a “[giant humanoid] figure silhouetted by the SUN” on her second failed death save…… hang in sky like sun?? to boil oceans whole world dead?
“Amber Gris and Richard Stink have the same genesis-“
Wtf my crack theory that they’re cousins has EVIDENCE now??????
