#an obol for charon

[ichayalovesyou]

Do you know what I’ve noticed about Captain Pike that I absolutely love that most other captains don’t tend to do?

He has absolutely NO chill, at all, about seeing people get hurt (unless there’s something else extremely pressing going on). Like no letting medical handle it, no somebody else go running after them first. Just, NYOOM!

I mean SERIOUSLY

The guy should’ve been an EMT! He keeps B-lining it to injured people before anybody else can get there and he’s Very Stressed About It.

Full on protective dad mode every time! And Pike can get his ass kicked and be like ‘I’m totally fine pay no attention to my very bruised up face it’s fiiiiiine’ no it’s not my guy!

The budding PikeUna shipper in me kinda wishes he’d been there when Una got her shit rocked in Memento Mori, she probably wouldn’t have almost bled out in sickbay because she’s worse than he is lmao!

Anyway, as if I needed even more reasons to be madly in love with this guy! Good lord…

Literally love the trope where two separate character plots are working on two different problems all day and then they meet up near the end and instantly solve each other's problems? Love that trope.

I was reminded that Chacón’s Obols exist. And thought about Danny Phantom.

I had a thought that what if Danny got like a tongue piercing, got a custom piece to look like an Obol. Or maybe he only has it when he’s in his ghost form.

I just love the idea that Danny has many little homages to being dead, or something similar.

If you don’t know;

This is what they look like:

What are Obols?

Obols we’re left in the mouth of the recently deceased, so that you could pay/bribe Charon “the Ferryman” who conveyed souls across the river that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead

original design by @ask-gimmiventures ! sad little man.

#my art #Obol gimmighoul #my idea for their story is based on the Charon's coin thing #but i accidentally mixed it up with the placing coins on dead people's eyes thing #whoops!

realizing, in finishing my rewatch of s2 of discovery, just how far my una has drifted from any of her canons…

#⤷ file / from the writer’s desk. #she’s probably closest to ‘the cage’ and ‘obol for charon’ #but the s2 finales? even q&a? nope the vibes are So Wrong #even as I draw so much inspiration from the details #her as a character and her personality and her portrayal are SO DIFFERENT #I guess this is my way of saying bless you all for putting up with my completely un-canon character

@eriny3s asked: she leans against the door frame , watching the driver in his space , before diverting her gaze to the floor . she doesn't demand his attention — she knows he knows she's there . it's not like she was trying to be silent in her approach ; he would have heard her .

when she feels his gaze on her , she looks up . the question she has isn't light , but she doesn't want to keep her thought processing to herself .

she leaves her mask on , a simple black , so it's just her eyebrows to denote tone in her signing . they are slightly furrowed , a note of concern , deep thought , and hesitancy . but she has his attention , and so she pulls her hands from her pockets and asks :

do you remember my voice ?

( modern mortal , tis @ charon , kinda feeling some soft angst/whump ;_; )

Charon had been pouring himself a drink from his small bar cabinet when he felt eyes on him. He kept his eyes on his crystal bottle of whiskey as he carefully poured it onto the ice, taking his time and preparing himself for conversation as he put the stopper back in and carefully replaced it. Turning around then, he leant against the cabinet and observed the concern and thought on her brow.

He sipped his drink as he sifted through his memories, trying to find one where he could picture her talking. Either to him or her sisters as he drove them some place. He could picture all three of them in the car, bickering or discussing something but not the words she said. Putting his glass down, he readied his hands to craft a reply.

"Yeah, I can remember what it sounded like but not anything specific." He could ask why, but he felt she'd tell him anyway.

@burning-fcols liked for a charon starter (X)

This one...it didn’t belong here, there really was no denying it, and yet here this soul was, on his boat in the middle of the river Styx like he owned it. He hadn’t even had an obol, the rather...flirtatious soul somehow convincing a shade to give up their one ticket into the underworld for...what he didn’t know, but it had worked regardless. Oh well, that was none of his business. It wasn’t stolen and it ended up in Charon’s hand in the end, and that was all that really mattered. Of course, this soul was no shade, and after a painfully boring meeting with Lord Hades, it had been rather apparent there had been a mix up somewhere...higher up. 

And now Charon was sharing his boat while they got everything sorted out, him being the only one who really had the time and the means to ensure this soul didn’t get into any trouble. Well...he sure hoped they didn’t get seasick, they were going to be here a while. 

He was quiet as he rowed back up the Styx from the House, not that he really had any other modes. At least until a question came to mind. Despite not belonging here, the soul should still be able to understand him simply by the nature of being dead. He wasn’t usually one to converse with his passengers, but...

“Hhhhhhnnnnngggggg...” Just what had he done to get that obol?

An obol is what you have to offer Charon in order to ride in his boat 🛶🪙

I am once again in awe of how openly and deeply Pike cares about his crew. Even, no, especially in the heat of battle.

It’s like he feels every injury, every death, but he manages to refuse to let it crush him. But at the same time he doesn’t harden or clam up like a the vast majority of captains tend to in combat situations.

Where is he in Obol for Charon? Walk n’ talking with Burnham while lending a hand in sickbay!

Saints of Imperfection? Crowd control to protect the crew from the mycelium network!

But Memento Mori is what really gets me. He’s so worried about Hemmer and Uhura after allowing for the possibility of losing them to save the ship! And he let’s the crew see that. And he’s so openly relieved when they’re okay

It’s just, he’s so good at being genuine and vulnerable in a professional way

* important headcanons to consider.

can they use chopsticks:  yes,  and in fact,  she almost certainly prefers chopsticks to other utensils.

what do they do when they can’t sleep:  listen to music.  she’s particularly fond of baroque,  classical,  and romantic era music from earth for sleepless nights.

what would they impulse buy at the grocery store:  whatever any sane person would avoid because it would destroy their tastebuds.  but absolutely chocolate infused with hot chili pepper. 

what order do they wash things in the shower:  face first,  hair last,  body in between. 

what’s their coffee order:  she’ll drink it black,  but she’d rather add a bit of chocolate,  a splash of milk,  and a dash ( probably more than a dash ) of cayenne pepper.

what sort of apps would they have on their smartphone:  oh gosh,  all the organizational,  task management apps...  all of them.  she’s always trying a new one,  then coding her own from scratch to incorporate the best elements from each.  her organizational system is actually always a mess because she’s always experimenting.  somehow,  she still is perfectly organized.  no one understands how.

how do they act around children:  she panics.  no,  really,  if you ever want to see una completely at a loss,  leave her to interact with a child without someone else for buffer.  she doesn’t know what to do with them.  the younger the child,  the worse the panic gets.  someone please save her.

what would they watch on tv when they’re bored and nothing they really like is on:  quite frankly,  she wouldn’t.  there’s so much more she’d rather do with her time than watch tv.

Charon’s obol and the Robins

Young when asked what her mission was said this,  “… But I want the world to be a better place, I want people to try harder. I want to strive for radical earnestness and sincerity. I’m trying to do the best job I possibly can and to put my abilities into projects I believe are sincerely endeavouring to make the world a better place.”[1] On meeting three students, all of whom professed no faith,…

Those Two Pennies (for Charon?)

In my post about Herbert Hoover (see here) I said that when he was only two years old he nearly suffocated from a croup attack (a severe breathing difficulty caused by acute obstruction of the larynx and trachea).His aunt Agnes wrote: “ We all thought he was dead. … The eyes of the infant were pressed closed with pennies; and a sheet was drawn over his body; but after resuscitation by his uncle,…
