Oishi reveals that a part of the DDT audition process (at least in recent times with COVID) is getting the potential trainee to send a photo to show their physique along with their looks. He still has these photos, the first one being of Masada and the second being of a much bigger looking Rukiya.

Bonus: Here's Masada taking a picture of Ilusion's, probably to torment him.

I got so seduced by the idea of a fun LARP episode that I didn’t even see the ending coming, even though the episode is called “The Elysian Kingdom”... as in the Elysian Fields or Elysium...  an ideal afterlife.

"...a story that makes perfect, simple sense in what is says: you can never know how someone will respond to your stories, what you'll ask of each other, what you'll give. You can only control so much. The story never belongs to only you." - Molly Templeton x Strange New Worlds, Episode 8

[Image IDs. Five images. (1) Text that reads 'She rewrites his story and he lets her-' Followed by an image of Rukiya, looking at her dad asking 'But what if we could change the ending?' Followed by two images of M'Benga looking away, and then at Rukiya, saying 'Someday, you'll write your own stories. And you can have any ending you like.' (2) Text that says 'because he has to let someone tell him something.' and an image of M'Benga telling Una that his daughter's 'time is now running out.' (3) Text that says 'better than the story he's telling himself.' and two images of M'Benga and Rukiya. In the first he tells her 'Okay, brave girl' and in the second he hugs her. (5) text that says 'What if you let someone who loves you rewrite your story?' and an image of M'Benga looking surprised, saying 'Rukiya?' (6) Text that says 'Who would you be?' and an image of Rukiya as an adult saying, 'Hello Daddy.' Followed by an image of M'Benga, teary eyed and smiling at his daughter from behind his hand. /End IDs]

Joseph letting Rukiya stay in the Nebula with Debra in The Elysian Kingdom 🤝 Spock taking Chris to Talos IV to be with Vina in The Menagerie

“I care about you very deeply and wish things could be different. I will let you go somewhere special where you’ll be free of the sickness that weighs heavily on us both. Something that confines you to a small space you’d rather be free of. An injury/sickness I blame myself for even if it’s not truly my fault and cannot fix. You’ll get to stay with someone that fills a hole in your heart that got left behind when she left. It’ll break my heart but I’ll understand when you say yes.”

81 Great Things in The Elysian Kingdom

Strange New Worlds season one, episode eight... sounds like a hell of a story 👑

Strange New Worlds | Children of the Comet | Ghosts of Illyria Part 1 & Part 2 | Memento Mori | Spock Amok | Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach | Serene Squall | The Elysian Kingdom | All Those Who Wander | A Quality of Mercy

Rukiya is adorable. Did you see that please face?

Rukiya asking to have a certain part read and then pronouncing that she hates that part is peak small child

Rukiya: budding fanfic author trying to change the ending

"When I'm better can I see your quarters?" "I'll take you to see the whole ship!"

Watching M'Benga try to find a cure for Rukiya's illness is absolutely heartbreaking as a parent - especially when his concoction blows up in his face because he's so tired he's not thinking straight

Automatic forcefield around toxic chemical

Number One is compassionate and supportive of M'Benga while still doing her job, which includes making sure he gets the rest he needs to do his job. This is what good management looks like.

M'Benga calls her Una! They are besties now!

This episode starts out very low-key (which helps with how zany it becomes later) and it's nice to see how things operate when the Enterprise isn't in crisis

"Why Mr. Spock, I never took you for the superstitious type."

Pike and Ortegas Bridge Banter I

"Mitchell, what's going on with my ship?"

Sassy!Spock accusing Pike of jinxing their good fortune

Bridge Troubleshooting!

M'Benga is dead on his feet when he gets into the turbolift to go treat Ortegas on the bridge - no wonder he thinks he's hallucinating

The set design on the bridge for the Elysian Kingdom is phenomenal

King Ridley's costume is amazing

Pike's hair jfc 🤣

"What the hell"

The bickering between Adya and Rauth is superb, Navia and Mount do a great job

Ortegas the is (one of) the prankster(s) on the ship - which lines up with what we saw in the Children of the Comet

Rauth and Adya Bickering I

"Computer?" "He obviously means The Oracle"

Rauth and Adya Bickering II and III

Fireflies in the corridor! 😍 The greenery is such a cool change from the stark white

Chapel the mystic 😂

PRINCESS THALIA oh my god that dress

M'Benga doing his best to not bust out laughing at seeing serious, straight-laced La'An sweep into sickbay with a tiny dog in the most ridiculous dress

"What are her dopamine levels?"

Oh my god Hemmer being dragged down the hallway by Mitchell and her guards 😂

Mitchell's scar on her face is badass

Christina Chong did not have to go this hard with Princess Thalia, but she did, and it's amazing

Flying through space screen saver on the ready room screen behind Pike and Ortegas

Rauth and Adya Bickering IV

"Starfall is thirsty." 😂

M'Benga somehow does not lose it when La'An gives them a preview of her epic song of mourning

La'An is a lying liar who lies about her singing ability (see: Children of the Comet)

M'Benga just being like "Great" after La'An finishes her song 😂

Spock as Pollux is a treat… he's still very even keeled like Spock, but he shows very tempered, quiet emotions that have a spooky, creepy edge

Uhura's Queen Neve naaaaails! Oh. My. God. She is so fabulous. Her dress. Her makeup. Her headpiece. Those shoulder embellishments 😍

Rauth stamping his foot like a five year old

Irony of the dungeon being the transporter pad

Dungeon Troubleshooting!

"It felt like my brain was being squeezed out my nose" "I did that to a man once"

Science IS magic

Hemmer is that guy who shows up to play D&D begrudgingly because someone else made him, but when he gets there he has ten pages of backstory for his character, a special voice, and never once during the session does he break character

"I am a wizard"

"Not bad… wizard. I think this… science." And Hemmer just smiling at her because when you boil this episode down, it's just two dudes trying to solve a problem while their coworkers and friends have a spontaneous LARP day at the office

Gooding does unhinged Queen Neve so well - she is fantastic in the scene after the jailbreak where she threatens Mitchell

"I have armed myself" 😂

Z'ymira and Adya 😍 "A raven would be too much trouble?"

Engineering Troubleshooting! Although none of it is terribly helpful until M'Benga realizes he's not in the Elysian Kingdom, he's in Rukiya's Kingdom

Hemmer trying to mediate Adya and Z'ymira's lover's spat 🤣

Hemmer is 5000% done with this episode

Hemmer is also 5000% with M'Benga when he learns who Rukiya is and why she's on the ship

The shot of Rauth kneeling to Neve with her symbol haloing her is great - one of my favorite shots in the episode

There is so much happening in sickbay - Z'ymira and Adya parting, Chapel cooking up something in a gigantic cauldron, Hemmer putzing around, and M'Benga trying to find Rukiya (there's got to be a deleted scene from this)

Hemmer comforting M'Benga for not seeing Rauth's betrayal coming

Adya stomping her foot at Rauth

"YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH MY DAUGHTER OR I SHALL BRING THE MIGHT OF MY KINGDOM DOWN UPON YOUR HEADS"

Hemmer sending Queen Neve's forces to the Event Horizon 😂

"ABRA-CADABRA!" good god this crew is so extra i love it

Hemmer has the transporters on speed dial

Rukiya in her princess dress 😭😭😭😭😭😭 she's so beautiful and so happy

"I've been watching you, Daddy. You did such a good job!" 😭

Hemmer offering to be a conduit with the entity even though there's a good chance it would accidentally kill him (I think he's tied with Sam Kirk on almost deaths this season)

Hemmer's antennae move!

"She was lonely. Like me." 😭😭😭 the rest of this will just be me bawling ignore me

M'Benga has to make the same choice as King Ridley - full circle narrative

And this choice is… really, really heavy and this episode does not get enough time and space to really expound upon it or the consequences of the action he takes… and not to get too personal but as a parent myself if I had to choose between my child dying a presumably horrific death (he describes it as "withering away" in Ghosts of Illyira although we don't actually get to see it because Star Trek is afraid of sick people 🙄) or never seeing her again, never able to hold her in my arms, never able to see her grow up, but knowing she is alive… I mean… I'm not having to make that choice and so I can't say with certainty, but I don't think I would have made a different decision than M'Benga here.

Rukiya and M'Benga hugging before her transformation 😭😭😭😭

Debra is beautiful!

"It tickles, Daddy!" 😭

M'Benga dealing with the sudden, expected yet un-expected loss of his daughter, reaching for where she stood

Grown up Rukiya 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What's Rukiya's AO3 pseud?

Rukiya's farewell to her father is beautiful. With the exception of him fly-fishing on Starbase 1 back during Spok Amok, we only ever see M'Benga working or looking for a cure for Rukiya. His entire life has been consumed by trying to save his daughter, to his own detriment. Now, Rukiya is at peace. She is safe. She is happy. And M'Benga can begin to live for himself.

Hemmer waking up with a migraine level hangover in M'Benga's quarters with absolutely no idea how he got there 😂

M'Benga's first name is Joseph!

Una coming to check on her friend to make sure his secret daughter came through the missing five hours okay

This last moment of Number One and M'Benga connecting is great. These two characters have/had incredibly heavy secrets they were/are carrying around with them, and being able to confide in each other and form a friendship outside their working relationship is such beautiful character growth for them both

‘We’re a strange pair, aren’t we?’ // ‘I love you too, baby. Always.’ (The Fall x Strange New Worlds)

[image IDs: ten images, all are from the 2006 film The Fall, or strange new worlds with text on the images. (1) Image of Rukiya and M’Benga in sickbay, with text ‘Alexandria: Tell me the story.’ (2) Roy and Alexandria in the hospital, with the text ‘Rukiya: Daddy, finish the story. I like it when you read the ending.’ (3) Rukiya, listening to her father read with the text, ‘Roy: [He’s] a fake, he’s a liar and a coward. Alexandria: You’re lying!’ (4) Alexandria, in the hospital bed looking distress with the text ‘Rukiya: I hate this part. M’Benga: But you wanted me to read it to you. Rukiya: I know. (5) M’Benga, looking at his daughter, with the text ‘Alexandria: Why are you killing everybody? Why are you making everyone die? Roy: It’s my story. Alexandria: Mine too. (6) Roy, looking tearfully at Alexandria, with the text ‘M’Benga: But that’s not what happens. […] Rukiya: I know. But what if we could change the ending?’ (7) M’Benga and Rukiya hugging, with the text ‘Roy: There's nothing left for him. Alexandria: His daughter. Roy: He wasn't her father, either. Alexandria: She loves him. Roy: She'll survive. She's young. (8) Roy and Alexandria looking at each other, as the bandit and his daughter, with the text ‘M’Benga: He has to let [the Mercury Stone] go. Even though it means he won't be happy anymore. You're my Mercury Stone. Remember I told you you could write your own stories someday? Maybe that someday is now. But it's up to you. Rukiya: I want to.’ (8) Adult Rukiya, looking at her dad with the text ‘Alexandria: I don't want you to die. Don't kill him. Let him live. Don't kill him. Roy nods Alexandria: Promise? And don't cross your fingers. Roy: I promise. (9) Roy, holding up his hands to show his fingers aren’t crossed, with the text ‘Rukiya: Someday we'll see each other again. I know we will, but... you have to live your own life now. Create your own stories. Promise me you'll be happy. M’Benga: I promise.’ /End ID]

God, hilarious piss baby Pike and hot women with swords and gorgeous men in Wizard robes aside

That ending was so beautiful

A metaphor for letting your kid go and life a full life and create their own universe. That even if you want to save their life and keep them the same they’re going to change anyway, they’re going to be in danger anyway.

Joseph’s greatest gift to Rukiya was setting her free!

Then she comes back to show him that this was true! That she’s happy and okay! (Who knows, maybe she and Debra will return some day!)

The Elysian Kingdom made me laugh AND cry!

Good stuff

#me and my dad disagreed on the realisticness of the ending #but even if I had a good relationship with my family I 100% understood why Rukiya made that choice #especially as it became more and more clear that Starfleet medicine wouldn’t be able to cure her #she could be in that transporter for so long that she could outlive her father by centuries or worse #be forgotten about until her pattern deteriorated into nothingness #she wasn’t getting to be a child and unless she was set free would never get to see adulthood #with Debra it seems like she got to! #I think that’s beautiful #star trek #Star Trek snw #the Elysian kingdom #snw 1x08 #snw #snw spoilers #strange new worlds #star trek strange new worlds #Rukiya #Rukiya m’benga #dr m’benga #Joseph m’benga
