I've always credited Seven of Nine with being the first seed of my queer awakening back when I was just a kid watching Star Trek with my mom. It was always innocent and I didn't know what I was feeling exactly, I just knew that I was drawn to this character. I didn't know if I wanted to be her friend, to be her, or to be more than that, or what that even meant. I'm still not really sure what it is to this day. I've just always been enamored with her.

Watching her return in Star Trek Picard has been so fun and enjoyable and I've loved seeing how she's grown and who she's become. (And she's still growing and has so much more to offer!) Seven of Nine grew up and so did I.

And witnessing Seven of Nine kiss another woman was somehow more validating than I ever thought it was going to be. She's smiling, she's badass, she's middle aged, she's complex, and she likes women! She kissed Raffi on the mouth!

And can I fangirl over Raffi for a second?? She instantly became a new favorite of mine back in season 1. Her character adds so much to the show. She can be so chaotic at times but always pulls it together when she needs to. She gets to be angry and emotional and stubborn but also maternal and caring. We need more characters like Raffi.

The way these two women find each other. The way they just understand each other. The way they know they could make each other so happy if not for *waves hands rigorously in all directions* all the things. The way they simply refuse to not be together at the end of the day. After all they've been through, why not choose a little happiness with each other (after saving the world of course).

I've always loved Star Trek and related to so many of these characters, but watching Seven's return and being introduced to Raffi and watching them come together, feels like it was made for me. For the little gay kid who loved escaping into this universe but didn't always see how she would fit in it. I see it now.

tl;dr: Seven of Nine kissed a girl and now my life is complete.

It’s CMA-

let’s be real someone at one point, probably one of the younger kids, almost definitely asked about Anthony and charlie, or they asked why Charlie was allowed to call him Tony and were confused by the answer, or was like ‘if Charlie isn’t going to marry Ben then will she marry Anthony instead?’ etc. etc. and everyone totally dismissed them because they’re kids.

like I bet at least one or two people have said it and immediately was dog piled so no one talks about it. When the info about Charlie/Anthony comes out, they’re going to be that gif from b99 going VINDICATION!!!!!!!! (which as the youngest sibling, is me every single time I’m right about literally anything)

look I am so invested in clover and Anthony but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t equally excited for Anthony and Charlie.

This is really making me feel the Victorian era because every time they’re mentioned in the same paragraph I’m like every person the first 7 episodes of the mandalorian going ‘OH MY GOD THEY SHOWED HIS FINGERS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH’ and freaking out lmaooooo

CMA my love! ❤️

Omggg "if Charlie isn't going to marry Ben then will she marry Anthony instead?" I LOVE THIS! 😍 Can you imagine everyone's reaction to that!? 😂 Anthony would fall quiet all of a sudden, dreaming of it while Benedict is like "That's never going to happen" 😂

And that gif omg 😂

Ooooh I totally know what you mean! ❤️ I get all excited when Anthony and Charlie are being cuuuuute🥰

Thank you so much for this darling! ❤️❤️❤️

"#i don't even know if i personally want vandran to be there#but i do for neondvcks sake now#IT HAS TO BE A THING" djaklgjskgjsdg you know i dont even know if i ever wanted him to be there at all i have just fully convinced myself he IS and that it's the hill i'll die on

I think it’s a good hill to die on, tbh. I keep going back and forth in my head, because I can convince myself he’s not there as easily as I can convince myself that he is. Also, reading all your posts about it has been my favorite thing over the past week and a half and I really just want you to be right.

#critical role #WHERE IS VANDRAN MATT #just show him to us #cr spoilers #also it's fun to use that captain holt from b99 gif where he's saying vindication #and i feel like vandran being on rumblecusp would be an appropriate time to use it #neondvcks #erin answers things

That feeling when you have to keep a secret and you don’t wAnt to keep it because it’s who you are but you HAVE to because you’re just not safe and you swear you swear you swear you’re not betraying anyone and you don’t want to lie to them but you KNOW it’ll feel like betrayal to them and you don’t know if they’d even look at you if they knew…. That’s why Merlin makes me cry

And that's exactly why this show is still so relevant today! Young people could relate to it in 2008 as they do in 2021. We really felt the main character's struggle because we could translate his fantasy problems with real life ones. Having to hide any part of your identity, that being sexual or gender, or even your hobbies and things you love, to fit someone's image of the world is something most of us can relate to. And this is why this show is so popular within the lgbtqa+ community. And the satisfaction of the last episode, of seeing Arthur accept Merlin for who he really is is such a server and honestly to bring the king from b99 here VINDICATION. This fucking show breaks my heart, and it always will

I made an overly hasty post earlier and am now trying to be Chill and Smarter with the sheer level of excitement coursing through my body because-- here's the thing-- I love Horatio, have always loved him, and he's so quiet even in the full script, but there has to be this whole arc for him anyway, mostly without actual verbal lines, where he goes from That Scholar Who is Super Level-Headed to, uh, the weeping mess of a man cradling the body of his best friend (read: boyfriend) after trying to commit suicide to join him in death.

But anyway, the adaptation of the script we have cut Horatio's lines down significantly, but I still-- I still stuck with him even when I got offered up the role of Gertrude (!) a few weeks into the production. I just. He's so important, even if he's quiet! I just think that some actors would look at that role maybe and go, oh, there's not a lot here, but there is SO MUCH. I'm protective of him on a story level, but also it's work to play him! It's different work, sure, being 100% focused in a scene and silently finding ways to convey your headspace and throw all your energy to your scene partner(s) without being distracting (R&G in our production, frankly, are v funny, but imo pull too much focus sometimes).

Anyway anyway, I'm working hard and it's nice that there's a theatre review out there that recognizes what I'm going for with a role that I think can be overlooked.

Also every time someone is like "romantic vibes????" I am that B99 gif of Capt Holt. The VINDICATION. IT PLEASES ME GREATLY.

#this has been a post #kate is sometimes an actor #also also they wrote that i played him 'skillfully' which is nice as well #i'm just. EXCITED. #local theatre bitching

[thedevilliers]

VINDICATION!!!!!!! (insert gif of captain holt from b99) (chrisemi meetup anon here)

ugh!!!! i hate u!! and i had to play dumb 😭😭😭 you made me publicly humiliate myself !!! but... your mind. you saw RIGHT thru me!!

#HELP why are my gifs so tiny each time #ask #askdv #Anonymous

[hiddleloki]

once the reveal happens, the wandavision tag will just be filled with the 'vindication' gif from b99 by peter stans

It's already in my drafts 😌

[glitterfairy-21225]

Attention! I am going to sleep! And when I wake, there will be a new WandaVision episode. The next comment I reply to, I will do so with the knowledge of what happens in WandaVision. The next time I go on tumblr, I’ll have seen the WandaVision finale. (Maybe, whenever I feel an onset of doubt I tell myself to just peak at tumblr to know who Fietro is. Depends on how I feel when I wake up.)

Now it has been a bumpy ride, with the overwhelming theories, speculation, and waiting. And I can’t deny that I am scared. Legitimately scared. Scared that I’ll have to delete the post I have in my drafts from weeks ago with the ‘Vindication’ thing from b99. Scared that I’ll have to see all the heartbroken posts from the other Peter Maximoff truthers who I’ve followed in the past weeks. Scared that my heart will be torn out and shat upon by Marvel.

And I know. I know. I know the multiverse is coming. I know how stupid it would be for it to not be Peter. I know Feige probably knows how much fans would want to kill him for that. I know. But I’m not an optimist.

Just now, that whatever happens when I wake up this morning; You are valid, you are deserving, and you are not alone.

See you on the other side, motherfuckers.

#wandavision #peter maximoff #fietro #wandavision finale #wandavision wan wandavision #oh and also have to watch whatever happens with vision won’t i? #being in love with this show sucks #here we go

This whole chapter was equivalent to the meme of holt from b99 screaming ‘vindication’, that fucking rat got what he deserved, the lack of murder this chapter was kind of a bummer tho :/

(2) Actually I take that back, eliott murdered that rat mentally, spiritually and professorially, idk how ratfromhell survived

Anonymous said: i’m going back to ch14 just so i can see ratphael get annihilated by eliott again… choupi that was such a satisfying scene

coding your own website is just furrowing your eyebrows really hard and squinting and typing some random ass shit and when it works you become raymond holt from b99 in that one scene where he yells vindication

[theclaravoyant]

AN ~ Welcome to my first ever B99 fic! Or rather, ficlet, but it’s part of a new collection called Raspberry Sherbet for all current and future Holt/Kevin drabbles bc I love them and expect there to be more. Feel free to send me prompts!

In the meantime enjoy this one: Holt/Kevin + “I love you” whispered in the ear, for @unlessimwrongwhichyouknowimnot. Hurt/comfort, mild angst with a happy ending. Rated T.

A younger Raymond Holt is being promoted to Lieutenant and Kevin won't come to the ceremony. Or will he?

Read on AO3 (~900wd)

There were very few times in Raymond Jacob Holt’s life in which he had found himself uncontrollably smiling. He had almost expected this to be one of them, but as the Chief called his name and beckoned him across the stage, he couldn’t help but feel that there was something missing. He felt happy, of course, and proud, and more a little vindicated if he was being honest, but he also felt… lonely.

Holt had achieved many victories in his life alone. His parents, while supportive, had encouraged stalwart independence, and his identities and his career path had put that independence to test after test. Always, he had been victorious, at least enough to endure to the next challenge. He overcame. Always, when he did, he was proud and happy and all of those things. It was just that this time, for the first time in so long he hadn’t even really realised it, he’d been hoping for something more.

It was not that Kevin didn’t support him, Holt knew. If anything, it was in fact the opposite: Kevin was so loyal that it hurt him to see the ways the other police officers treated him. That was the reason that Kevin had given for his refusal to come tonight, and had Holt been a more emotive person he likely would have railed against the decision. Begged and pleaded that Kevin not let them get to him – that he could handle it – that none of it mattered, or it was all worth it, if he could just be there.

But Holt was not a particularly emotive person, certainly not one given to begging, pleading and railing. And he knew that Kevin was not prone to knee-jerk reactions either. No doubt he had been weighing up his decision for some time, and he had attended a number of police events at Holt’s request, all of which had gone at best, poorly. Holt could not blame him for wanting to stay away and in fact, found himself even a little endeared by Kevin’s justification, but still. Climbing the steps to the dais and hearing his shoes clack across the wood, he was already thinking about how hollow the award would feel in his hands and how –

How Kevin’s hair looked like spun straw in this light.

Smiling crookedly at him, perched at the back of the auditorium.

Kevin.

“Congratulations.”

It was all Holt could do to hold his breath and nod, as the Chief shook his hand.

“You deserve it, Lieutenant.”

“Thank you, sir.”

And mercifully, the thanks was genuine. Untainted by loneliness, untainted by the thought of everything he’d had to push and silence to get this far. He was here, and that’s what mattered.

And of course, Kevin. Kevin was also here.

If Holt were being honest, his heart was somehow racing. The milling about, rubbing elbows after the ceremony, was a long and painful grind and he used his words sparingly but even still, every second seemed to last too long until he spied Kevin waiting in the corner. Excused himself and slipped away.

“You came,” he breathed. Puffed up his chest a little, trying to look more proud than flustered and somehow managing and simultaneously failing at both. Kevin smiled that crooked smile again, but pressed his lips together, and eyed the others – who were keeping, of course, a respectable distance – with skepticism. Possibly even a little disdain.

“Only for you, Raymond,” he said. “I’m not sure I can handle many more of these.”

“One more,” Holt bargained. “I have to make Captain yet.”

“Of course you do.”

The disdain softened, Kevin’s eyes drifting back from the crowd to his Raymond. Unbending. Badges gleaming despite all that he had endured – because of it, even. Kevin felt his heart warm, hurt and inspired both at once, and after a cursory glance over his shoulder, slipped his hand into Raymond’s. There was a lot to say. Too much to say in this stolen corner, about how proud he was and how he never meant to offend Raymond with his distrust of the police. About how he was sorry that the world made it harder in his profession than in the more liberal space of arts academia. About how he looked forward to the day he could be as proud of the police as Raymond was. How he believed that only Raymond himself could make that a reality.

“Lieutenant!” called the Chief. “You must come and meet the Mayor. I insist.”

“Yes, sir.”

Holt nodded, ever struck by the call of duty, but he found himself hesitant to move away from Kevin. From the clasp of his hand: as warm and welcoming, comforting and empowering as any embrace. After he’d taken such pains to come here, their precious few seconds didn’t feel like enough.

“It’s okay, go,” Kevin insisted, nodding after the Chief. “I’ll see you tonight.”

Then, for one brief moment, he pulled Holt in closer. So close they could have kissed, but they did not. Kevin simply leaned over their joined arms, like a good sport patting his fellow player on the back. A simple, infallible act of congratulations.

“I love you,” he whispered. “Now go.”

With a tight smile and a nod, Kevin relinquished Raymond to his colleagues’ impatient control, and jogged out into the cool of the night, pulling a scarf up around his mouth to shield his face from the icy air… and to hide his stolen smile from anyone who might happen to see it.

Inside, somehow he knew, Raymond was smiling too.
