@wearecaptaingeorgiou Day 17 | Heritage

Captain Georgiou - eventful, uplifting - can be likened to a futuristic play subject when we met her. Starfleet cadets must have had experience being regaled with tales of her intergalactic ventures into the vast unknown, the heroine. So for her to have a near-pristine wayang kulit (shadow puppets native to Southeast Asian region, of cowhide material, built to last a hundred years with suitable care) in mid-23rd century means the modern tweaks done by artform in our current present must have allowed it to exist in the future depicted by Star Trek. From my understanding, that move necessitates faith hence I believe, for Philippa, having it on display in her ready room is an anchoring with Malay pride. Of course, she would be unlike any other Trek captain the audience may have expected. Before she was "walking the stars" via Shenzhou's bridge, she hailed from the gleaming beaches of Pulau Langkawi - an archipelago of discoveries for the diligent and the keen. She may have expanded horizons by lightyears but that doesn't mean roots are to be forgotten: aid from her family heirloom telescope continue to simplify problems that confound starship computer advancements. Personally, for however brief we had her, it's been the world to me that in her life, heritage influenced Philippa Georgiou to the point that she found genuine joy in developing and celebrating connections which in turn fostered a melting pot; her distinct voice sounding of the home she carries along.

#discoveryedit #star trek discovery #philippa georgiou #michelle yeoh #did i just equate her to the epics like mahabharata and ramayana? yes #simpler philippa set than i envisioned though #i tried to make her cast her gaze downward to follow the spirit of the light readings i've done on wayang kulit

[georgiousburnham]

I know it's a lot: taking the conn. The first time [Captain] Georgiou left me in charge, I don't think I took a deep breath the entire five hours and 37 minutes she was gone.

#discoveryedit #star trek discovery #milippa #michael burnham #sonequa martin green #discovery spoilers #3.11 #disco wants us to be merry by hitting us with a captain philippa georgiou anecdote!? whilst michael is mentoring tilly??? ;~; #i....... am unpacking that she's wearing the same away mission gear #let alone the fact it is still the same day uss discovery beamed back one from dannus v #i might be in no condition to assess the passage of time (hindi pa po okay siopao steamer meme) #but the ep started from a continued crew celebration of philippa #skimmed the rest of 3x11 and *eye emoji*

#there are numerous parallels to make #NUMEROUS #but they don’t necessarily concern Philippa’s ghost (although Thea covered that beautifully) #a lot of them are about seeing a person you love as they are #(or in this case someone you used to love) #rather as you want them to be #for both of them too #if you are familiar with screwball comedies there is probably another essay to write about this but well #the fact that Michael ended up celebrating just how unpredictable Mirrorgiou was is also telling #there are no second chances but there are new stories - new people - to share adventures and love with #and that’s what they are telling each other at the end - what we had was beautiful now go share it with new people @onaperduamedee

- I will never find another like you.

- I don’t think I will either.

Keep reading

#b&w sure is the most potent easy-fix against s01's clusternoodle hehe #i know i haven't gotten to the eulogy scene yet but believe it or not i haven't rewatched anything from terra firma ii #besides thee snow flurries swirling into the ether scene #they've danced around their feelings for each other throughout what limited time they have had #yet it was so poetic their farewell meant to bolster their strengths #michael's inspiring capacity to be generous beyond compare #philippa just destabilizing conventions to be as upfront as she wants to be #their message to each other is crystal: we may never reunite again but do not isolate yourself again into loneliness #the universe is vast and there are new connections waiting for you #my limitless dear

[georgiousburnham]

I've seen that some endings are inevitable.

#discoveryedit #star trek discovery #milippa #philippa georgiou #michael burnham #michelle yeoh #sonequa martin green #3.10 #''we all want a future that's real. that matters.'' #(heylo it's me again it's sunday where i'm at so i guess this is where i leave you for now) #that we got a christmas carolesque ending for georgiou is v thematic #since she has always been associated with being philippa's ghost #perhaps that's why she's even more spiteful - because she herself is also philippa from her standpoint #a personal menace to this michael who insisted on giving her a future she didn't want #but grew to want with each instance of seeing their mutual ache for the mirrors they lost #it was Important that michael chose her last words carefully #claiming philippa hers as she is #as they both are now #it was clear the once faceless emperor arrived at having a transparent heart first #daring to jump into any danger for her without question #as the ghost of christmas future into a pocket mirrorverse - that helped her discern #their tether to one another as georgiou and burnham is a universal truth #not even a separation in perpetuity can sever #and as to why philippa hadn't asked michael to defy the guardian and come along #maybe it's because she's proof she will waver had she lingered #maybe it's because she knew she'd gladly be temporally undone in her arms #but more than those maybes was certainty in her desire to spare her a worse loss #a guarantee they could go on ensures their peace of mind #though even at the last chance she had philippa looked back at michael #~she didn't have to~ but like that spirit of the bly manor quote: ghost stories love stories... same thing

[georgiousburnham]

So, you're telling me this out of the goodness of your heart.  — No, the goodness of yours.

[georgiousburnham]

No one else.

[georgiousburnham]

Follow my footsteps, Michael. Even lines. 
— Why? Captain, where are we going? We’re far too small to be seen with the naked eye.

My Philippa taught me that. | Let's make it count, shall we?

[Camping on the beach, watching stars fall] sounds perfect. My sentence was life.

Captain Burnham. A face I thought I'd never see again in the flesh.

I do love you, Michael. | She cannot love what is weak.

[georgiousburnham]

You have the same need to bend people to your will.  — Does all that mean you're coming?

[georgiousburnham]

Will you really be able to let her go, when it comes down to it? 'cause the odds are not good here; and according to your files, you hesitated last time.
