omggggg 😍

And then all that wrapped up in the body of a beautiful sexy machine. I like fantasizing about aircraft being made sentient by the soul of some supernatural angel/deity/demon/etc inhabiting it. Part of why I love hearing your LM lore, it has similar elements.

Hmm…the idea of intimacy with something far bigger/more powerful/more intelligent than you will ever be. Inhuman Beings that could use their power to hurt/manipulate, or protect/enlighten. The feeling of your worthless self being chosen for this intimacy. Fear/mystery but also excitement/adoration.

….my fascination with LMs is heavily influenced by my religious upbringing for this exact reason. I never thought about the military being the same way but it certainly makes sense.

holy shit these are beautiful *cries for what could have been*

I love how many planes that the general population might not know about that they considered including—real nerd stuff!
