Sometimes the only offramp to a monologue is to physically attack your boss, and that's ok

Constantly reminded of BJ's queerness because he is unable to sit properly at any point in time.

Deanna Troi's Pink and Black 1890s Ensemble

Kicking off with one of my favourite TNG episodes, not least because of the amazing costume and set design! Unfortunately, this gown isn't too easy to see-- Troi's often in the back of shots or in very wide shots in this episode. Wish I could find a nice production still! Alas.

The main dress is made of a dark pink and black pattern which appears to be floral. The sleeve shape of Troi and Dr. Crusher's dresses put them either a little earlier or a little later in the decade than the glorious spherical sleeves Guinan's got.

On screen, it reads like it has a lace collar over top of it; however, looking at stills and the catalog image reveals that this is actually an underbodice!

Lot 660, 40 Years of Star Trek auction, Christies.

It appears to be constructed in three layers:

a grey shirtwaist/guimpe; in the catalog image it looks like it has a white collar, but I think that was covered with a stock and o-shaped pin on screen

wide lace attached to a thinly striped fabric, knotted in front

the dress itself, with what looks like pink satin binding on the edges

While I can't remember seeing anything in this configuration, the 1890s did often venture into a layered look; mostly in terms of suits, but there are some one-piece dresses like this too. Furthermore, both the (almost) v-neck and the pink and black colour scheme is pretty common for Troi.

The skirt doesn't have a decoration near the hem, like many 1890s skirts, but it does have what appears to be a scrolling pattern in between swags of flowers. If this is woven in (and it looks like it is), this really shows the craftsmanship in the cutting of this garment.

Another interesting feature of the bodice design is in the sleeve caps.

They're slashed and bound! The Victorian era often looked to historical styles for itself, and though I haven't seen one exactly like this, it fits right in that historicist vein.

On to the rest of the ensemble! Troi only gets one historical dress in this episode, but she changes up the look with a hat and capelet.

This two-tiered capelet is super cute! Capes and capelets were quite popular in the 1890s; they often have higher necklines, but it still works and shows off the guimpe neck of the dress.

(The one on the right is a Pingat evening cape; I saved the front view a while back but it seems to have been taken off the auction website. Obviously not the same style, but it's the only one I could think of with a neckline like that.)

I'm not sure how accurate the shaping of the hat itself-- it looks more 90s-does-Victorian than actual Victorian. But the tufts of netting and feathers give it a historical flair.

Overall, I really like this ensemble! It has elements that aren't super historically documented, but the silhouette and vibe is really nice, and contains colour and shape elements from Troi's 24th century wardrobe.

WSM S6E1 Translation (Liu > Zhang and He > Bai)

After it’s revealed that Sailor Zhang has been cheating women left and right, and also pretending to buy expensive fish to swindle his elder brother Manager Liu out of pocket money, so that Liu tried to frame him for murder in return.

Sailor Zhang: Just for three fishes...

Manager Liu: It’s not a matter of just three fishes!

Over to Doorman Bai’s turn to present evidence:

Doorman Bai: I went to Manager Liu’s room, and discovered a baby. (Detective Sa instantly cracks up.)

Manager He: This is way too brutal...

Doorman Bai: The baby had a note saying “Hua Hua’s baby cried”

Manager Liu: Doesn’t the name “Hua Hua” sound familiar to everyone?

Manager He: Yes.

Detective Sa: Here it is. *reads the records of Sailor Zhang’s exchanges with the women he cheated* Hua Hua says “Zhang Ge, your smile, that is 30% smirk, 30% coolness and 40% nonchalance...I like it too much. It’s too charming. (together with He) I want to have a baby with you.”

Doorwoman Rong: And then she really had one!!

(...)

Manager Liu: It’s very simple. He (Sailor Zhang) actually doesn’t stay at the hotel much. So Hua Hua couldn’t find him. She found me instead. And she handed over the child to me. I didn’t have a choice! That’s my little brother’s flesh and blood! So I raised the baby in the interim, while still praying that he would come back soon. And then one day, my little brother really did come back! Furthermore, he admitted very honestly that the child was his. But he couldn’t find Hua Hua either. So he borrowed another sum of money from me, saying he’d look for the child’s mother, and disappeared again.

Doorwoman Rong (to Sailor Zhang): My god, you’re such scum...!

Sailor Zhang: I am having so much fun.

(...)

Doorman Bai: Manager Liu also had this exchange with his ex-girlfriend in 2004. His girlfriend said: “Why did you give the money we so painstakingly saved to your brother? Isn’t it enough that you’re balding because of him?” (...) 

“He’s my little brother, blood is thicker than water, I must be responsible for him. Money can be earned again, but my little brother is irreplaceable.”

His ex-girlfriend said: “Then there’s nothing more to discuss, I already know the answer. I know what they’d call you: Brocon.” (Manager He chortles) 

*everyone pauses to start laughing* 

Manager He, also cracking up: It’s supposed to be a touching story, why is it so funny?

Doorman Bai, finishing up: “People like you must be avoided. Let’s break up.” Then, Liu said: “It’s fine to break-up. But you have to promise me: you won’t tell my brother about this.”

Manager He, pained: Aaahh.....

Doorman Bai: So, even though he broke up, he won’t let his little brother know how much he’s sacrificed for him.

Manager Liu: ...........*shakes his head* This isn’t familial love.

Caption on Manager He’s head and Zhang Sailor’s head: “Then what is it....?” “Cannot be said out loud, cannot be said out loud”

Over to Manager Liu’s turn to present evidence:

Manager Liu: I went to Bai Bai’s room. First thing is, there are a huge amount of post-its in Bai Bai’s room. All of them are left to him by He. *reads post-its from Manager He to Doorman Bai* “I changed all your carbonated drinks, your ice cream, soda, super sweet juices to my original, home-cooked healthy tea. Take care of your skin~! - signed, ge ge (elder brother)”

Manager He: >///<

Manager Liu, still reading post-its: “Sleeping in red bedsheets, I wish for my little brother to have sweet dreams every night on the year of his astrological sign! - signed, ge ge”.

“Wear the limited edition woolen red underwear that ge ge ordered for you! I wish your every step to be cool. - signed gege”

Doorman Bai (exploding): This is defamation. WHO WOULD WEAR WOOLEN UNDERWEAR.

Manager He, cracking up: Little brother, I already tried to find one that doesn’t prick, but it’s the material, there’s always going to be a bit of sensation. Bear with it.

Manager Liu: That’s not all of it. The most spectacular one is coming. *reads* “I already helped you to contact Amy. I have also arranged blind dates for you and all the ladies in M city! - signed ge ge”. WHAT an elder brother!!

Doorman Bai: For real. I think my elder brother is going a bit overboard with this. (to Manager He) Do you really think that I’ll be happy to meet with so many ladies?

Manager He: .....Hmmm. *glancing at Sailor Zhang* Why don’t you ask him?

Sailor Zhang, mumbling plaintively: Yeah, my elder brother sent me away just for three fishes...!

[normcore-tertiary-character]

I'm gonna be honest, the number of completely unnecessarily queer characters on these emergencies FEEL like a fuck you to execs poopooing a Bi Buck storyline before season 7

Like, I love the gay agenda and I'm asking to choke on it and for once someone is actually shoving it down my throat

#It really reads like they got some specific order that boiled down to not being able to show more queer couples #because for the most part if both parts of a couple are shown and theyre explicitly a couple theyre usually het #but if someone mentions an unseen partner or people are flirting without dating they tend to be same gender #though I'll allow I havent super been paying attention to that before now so it could be a distorted memory #911 abc liveblog #s6e1 #911
