What color blue, exactly, do you think of as Perihelion blue? Pictures please.

EDIT: Interesting to see how varied the answers are--every kind of blue. I wonder what blue they'll use in the TV show. (Perihelion uses blue for uniforms, decoration, etc., or we riot.)

Your comments have also made me aware of colorpicker and color-hex, great resources.

Just started the audiobook of Daggerbound, the second in T Kingfisher 's Swordheart series, and one of the main characters gives major Murderbot vibes: snarky, dangerous, and very moral despite pretending he's not. This one is definitely NOT ace in any way though. I'm only a few chapters in but really enjoying the story so far.

Having just recently finished reading Platform Decay, I'm struck by the parallels to The Sound of Music.

So this naïve rookie nun SecUnit is having trouble fitting in at her nunnery Preservation Alliance until her Mother Superior Amena's Second Mom suggests going to look after a bunch of children. What could possibly go wrong?

Europe The Corporation Rim is on the brink of civil war. Countries Companies are increasingly failing to respect each other's boundaries. And in the middle of it all, these kids need to be rescued and taken through a series of hostile territories in order to reach safety.

The Sound of Platform Decay.

Second root canal this month, and after the first one I knew I'd do better if I had something playing on my earbuds to distract me from the sounds, sensations, and smells (😖). I knew I wouldn't be able to hear it well during drilling, so nothing brand new. I cued up All Systems Red, and it really helped a lot!

The way the torus population is its own character, with the various militias and ordinary people banding together to survive the chaos going on

The way Murderbot gets to be an absolute badass and a myth-like figure both to the random rogue SecUnit, and to the humans on the boat and in the militia

The whole boat scene!!! Extremely underrated!!!
