While I really don't like "Fury" for obvious reasons re:Kes's mischaracterization, the little moment at the beginning between Janeway and Tuvok always warms my heart. Janeway doing a bit, making Tuvok concerned about anything he might have done wrong; then replicating (correctly! without malfunctions!) the birthday cake with just one candle; the vow to keep the birthday a secret between the two; Tuvok blowing the candle ("it was a fire concern"); and the brightest Janeway smile there is. Love it. Love it. LOVE IT.
This episode is worth it just for that moment alone.
It's amazing but every episode I watch of Voyager, no matter if it's the best sci-fi I've ever seen or the worst thing ever written, makes me always go: "Damn, how much I love this show".
Seven learns about how praising others when they do good work makes them feel better and more motivated (and internalizes it as 'this will make them more productive') so when B'Elanna does good work one day Seven pats her head and says "Good job." which irritates and flusters B'Elanna and she accuses her of being insincere and not needing Seven looking down on her! The next time Seven does good work, B'Elanna ruffles her hair and says "Good job!" in an attempt to 'get back at her' and Seven remarks that she doesn't require praise to be efficient. "You're saying I do!?"
This creates a system in which they both continue to pat each other's heads and say "Good job!" when one or the other does something good. Eventually this stops being an irritant or even really noticeable and just a facet of them working together. One day B'Elanna just says "Thanks" when Seven hands her The All Important Report and Seven stands there, waiting. B'Elanna looks up, confused. Seven blinks, straightening, realizing that she's waiting for it and becoming a bit embarrassed but B'Elanna grins and pats her head before she can escape. "Good job!"
there's this one photo of Tim at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and he's holding a program or something that says MECHANISMS on it, but it's super blurry and his arms are covering most of it. is there any chance you have a clearer picture of this program? i just really want to know what it says.
Hey! Could you please attach/reblog this post with the image in question? If its the one im thinking of, i think we do!
I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals
Still really funny that Marvel named a movie āEndgameā and sold it as the final culmination of the MCU where they killed off two main characters and retired a third and then were shocked when people started loosing interest in the MCU after that
if you canāt eat a whole meal, eat half. you ate, thatās what is important.
if you canāt get out of bed, try and sit up instead of lying down. itāll be better for your back and your blood pressure.
if you canāt shower or have a bath today, try and brush your teeth and clean your ears. itāll keep you a little cleaner, and we often forget those areas.Ā
if you canāt get dressed today, change underwear and use some deoderant. itāll leave you a little fresher until you have the strength to change fully.
and remember, iām very proud of you. your best will look different every day, and thatās okay.
