Grrl Power #1457 – Portal (to her) panties

Full disclosure, everything I know about antagonistic sexual relationships I learned from TV. Personally, I don’t get hate-fucking. It feels made up. Like, I’m sure it happens, IRL, but it’s probably over-represented in media. Though I’m fairly sure it would be difficult to compile statistics on comparative rates of IRL vs. media instances.

That said, I think Deus and Sciona’s relationship is fairly asymmetrical. There’s some respect there, but she mostly hates him. He digs the bad girl vibe, but doesn’t approve of her… more sociopathic tendencies. You know… I think he might have an idea about reforming her? He already has a bit of a collection of bad-girls. I mean, Vale… inhabits a shell that definitely looks female. Which isn’t to say she isn’t actually female. Or possibly was, depending on how she came to be what she is. Or maybe eldritch hungering void beasts are all female. If that’s what she is. I’m not confirming either way. Cthillia… well, she uses female pronouns. I have a full body model sketch of her somewhere, and I’ll just say she’s not a candidate for a vote incentive. Not a sexy one. Hmm. Although, maybe that would be an amusing change of pace every once in a while. Lorlara is the most normal female of his entourage, and “normal” is not an adjective I usually associate with her.

I realize that a “hydro-magneto” power generator could very well just describe entirely mundane generators powered by gravity or steam motivated water, but what I was picturing when I started writing Deus’s explanation before letting it veer into facetiousness, was something akin to some sort of metallic hydrogen convection dynamo. Metallic hydrogen is one of those theoretical things that seems to have been more or less confirmed, though it’s hard to keep a sample of it in a jar, since it requires something like 4 million atmospheres of pressure, or 400 Giga Pascals, at which point it would become (or at least exhibit the properties of) a conductive liquid metal. Why using something like that would be better than regular hydropower is not immediately clear, but it’s weird and exotic, and a power source based on it is (at this point) entirely made up, so no one can tell me it wouldn’t work.

Sexy bodymod news lady Gail has a special one-on-one interview with Tournament Quarter finalist Saraviah Nightwing! And if you subscribe to Gail’s Space Patreon, (which, due to the vagaries of Earth and Gal-Net’s DNS servers, happens to be the same as the Grrl Power Patreon, go figure) you can see that same interview in the nude! Well, eventually. The nude part of the interview, as well as the version that includes shading will be coming soon. Of course, you can view the interview in the nude now if you take your own clothes off. You know. Technically. Just put a towel on your chair first.
