Initiation

It's not just some drawing, it's actually an illustration I made for my fanfic! You can read it here.

It's something like an introduction for an AU that I talked about here.

[Tuvok & Janeway: Control, Distance, Duty & Connection.] Sources: St Voyager Transcripts / Mitski 'First Love Late Spring' / Disco Elysium

#web weaving #star trek web weaving #st voyager #Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok #be the change you want to see in the world - make a long post about Tuvok & Janeway's similarities <- angel on my shoulder #I feel like a lot of people see them as 'opposites attract' sort of friends where Janeway is unhinged & Tuvok reigns her in #but in reality I think that while there is that element in there (exacerbated HEAVILY by their delta quad circumstances)#what I see most in their relationship is how they both value loyalty and duty above all and are extremely rigid with themselves #and the people around them. How they both have to maintain distance from others bc of their positions as captain & vulcan #I hate when people dismiss Tuvok as not being remotely interested in Maryana or Noss - it erases an interesting struggle that he and Janewa #both share - their desire to stay loyal to their spouses vs the 70 years of loneliness that that loyalty demands of them #But they BOTH triumph and they BOTH remain loyal (Tuvok until he returns to T'Pel and Janeway until Mark informs her that it's over)#and for both of them it's a little bit insane for them to do that.#Isn't it more interesting that Janeway and Tuvok both have feelings for people other than their spouses but don't give in #to that temptation?#They're both people who live very fastidiously by codes. Either written codes or moral codes - they very rarely if ever do things because #it's what THEY want to do. I'd say they're the least emotion-driven members of the crew and yes I'm including Seven because Seven #has a very...how to describe? It's a blunt and insular selfishness. She does what SHE wants to do and doesn't really care about others.#To me that's emotion-driven. Or...personal desire-driven? Not a bad thing at all but very different from Janeway & Tuvok who #are always more 'this is logical' or 'this is for the crew' rarely do they think 'this is what I want' bc they can't afford to #for different reasons (captain & vulcan)#they both also are in the most 'caretaking' positions on the ship from my POV. Security and Captain - both are directly in charge of #ship and crew safety.#Janeway & Tuvok #star trek voyager #st voy #when I say caretaking I'm NOT saying they're everyone's mom and dad or whatever - I'm saying they're in positions where they always #have to think about the greater good and the crew as a whole and how much danger is acceptable etc etc.#Janeway is always killing herself for the crew but Tuvok is right there beside her

Not Roy and Jamie sublimating their mutual attraction into a fascination with the other’s female relatives.

#roy is more weird about georgie because he’s less aware of wanting to fuck her son than jamie is of wanting to fuck him #he just thinks roy’s sister is really hot #which she IS #also those eyebrows DOES something to jamie #he explains this to roy when roy – horrified for all reasons logical and illogical – demands that jamie does NOT woo roy’s baby sister #and roy stares at him and stares at him and stares at him #‘… i have eyebrows’ he finally grits out #and he THINKS he’s just offering to make sure jamie stays away from his extremely annoyingly unnamed sister #spoiler alert: he is not #crack #well that royjamie brand of crack where it’s a little bit not crack #it’s just them being them and fucking weird about each other since day one #royjamie #my stuff #my silly silly stuff

The Gilbert logic:

Jeremy: I can't complete the Mark because I don't want to kill innocents.

Elena: Okay, I have better plan – we will kill Kol (who btw wants to save us all from the Apocalypse, who cares lol) and with him the whole bloodline of thousands and thousands of innocent people who we don't know (and some of which may be newborn vampires just like me but not as important as ME ofc).

#rewatching season 4 again #for masochistic reasons #i never can watch a view to a kill and stay calm #i cant see logic #have you seen logic?#we lost it #btw all the lies elena tells are SO true #'if the whole world will perish then my wants dont matter' yeah bitch tell me about it #kol mikaelson #elena gilbert #the gilbert logic #jeremy gilbert #kol deserved better #tvd #tvdu #the originals

Isaac really said that he did the surgery so people would like him even though he didn't offer until he heard Claire was going to give up her post on the ship... Boy we see you

Isaac is not slick in the SLIGHTEST and lemme tell you exactly why.

He only perked up and inserted himself into the conversation after Kelly says "[She'd] be saying goodbye to the Orville", and Claire states "We're talking about Topa's life. I think it's a fair trade. So I won't be a Union Officer. I'll be okay."

Which is otherwise an incredibly noble thing of Claire to be saying and offering to do, first and foremost, but it interests me in how it's framed in this case for one specific reason.

In Episode 2, Isaac clearly states to Admiral Christie that "[Claire's] career as a Union medical officer is also a crucial part of her identity. She is highly empathetic and takes great satisfaction in helping others." Isaac knows Claire like the back of his hand, so to speak. He knows everything about her down to the minute detail - he is a literal bank of information (remember how he dumped it all to "get to know her" organically? That means he actually got to know her - all of his information is genuine from the source and observation rather than a file). He knows that being a Union officer is a *very important* thing to her, and that her giving that up:

A. Is a result of her being an extremely empathetic person (sometimes beyond reason), and

B. Would affect her self identity as an individual (and would most likely affect Ty and Marcus as well in the long run), change her standing with Fleet members (not all members would look upon her actions favourably regardless of it being the right thing to do - there is a possibility for being outcasted, and who knows what that’s like?), and thus change her and eliminate the accomplishments she is so proud of (and Isaac, whose identity was also turned on its head, very obviously does not want the same to happen to her).

And if he can step in and prevent her inevitable upset or protect her from getting into any trouble, regardless of noble intentions, he damn well is going to do it. It's only logical.

He also says "Excuse me, Doctor" directly towards Claire. Not "Excuse me, Captain." Not, "Excuse me, Commander." as would have been appropriate, but "Excuse me, Doctor."

Claire. He did it for Claire.

We see you from outer space, Isaac.

#hell i'll put this one in the tag #The Orville #clisaac #orville spoilers #Jemi gets asks #flapperwitch #like i don't doubt isaac saw logical sympathy in topa's situation - to him that's like well yes of course #that is the reasonable course of action in this case - to him he would see absolutely 0 problem in any way #topa would be topa #and - good on him - mocks klyden's cultural indoctrination for saying otherwise #i am able to help so i *will* help #but the ultimate reasoning for doing what he did was to do a good thing so that people would like him #but *more specifically* appeal to claire's highly empathetic and helpful nature by doing what she needed to do #for her so she can be happy and stay the person she is and retain what she values most in her life #so *she* would like him again #like...the way this season specifically is framing Isaac's very obvious longing for claire and his affection for her #in a way that is entirely calculated and the best he can manage with his limitations is so *heart wrenching*#like this ai *is* the first ai in history to fall in love - ed was right

You guys ever cry because when buck was being taken off the ventilator, the Buckley “parents” were the only ones (other than maddie) allowed in the room (probably because of hospital rules) so the firefam and co were probably all forced to wait in the waiting room while not knowing if buck was going to breathe on his own?

So while his real family were in the waiting room the parents who never cared about him and made him feel like he was expendable were the ones allowed in that room

Cos I definitely don’t cry about that and I’m totally normal about it🥹

#also I’m so bitter that they never showed the firefam in Eddie’s hospital stay #instead shoehorned ana into it as if this man has no other friends and family #also I’m forever bitter that they didn’t show enough Eddie scenes in bucks hospital stay #anyways hope the Buckley parents die🥰❤️#this is a Buckley parents hate club first and foremost forever and always #yes I put parents in quote marks and I mean it #yes I’m trying to logic the reasoning for not having the firefam there eventhough (I think) it’s established that Bobby #is his emergency contact #or I could be totally misremembering that #but yeah you get my point #911 #firefam #911 on abc #911 abc #911 fox #911onfox #evan buckley #evan buck buckley #my posts

life could be so good if people could just be normal abt male and female relationships. how are we still acting like this in 2024

#“if my guy friend got into a relationship with a girl i'd automatically stop talking to him bcs there's a girlfriend in the equation now”#“it just makes sense because you dont want the girlfriend to be uncomfy!”#WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTTTTTTTTTT. WHAT THE FUCK #if the gf is uncomfortable with him having friends that are girls the gf needs to chill out #yes i understand people can have insecurities and will probably always have them. but i dont think that should mean an automatic #response of removing urself from the friendship just bcs ur friend now has a gf. how in the world is that a logical response #if u are not attracted/interested in ur friend romantically and he is not interested in u there should be No Reason why u cant just #stay friends. right. right #this is making me insane i feel like im insane. how is this some sort of outlandish take to have #men and women can be friends isn't that crazy. isn't that fucking WILD #julian.txt #like brooofjejtbjsvrjevtnsvrnevjrvsntvehthehhrhe #I think its crazy. personally

having some thoughts about zutara + renegade. specifically thinking about “you’ve come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face, you wouldn’t be the first renegade to need somebody” and katara trying to bond with zuko by teasing him in teip or by bring out what she thought was his baby picture and being the one to invite zuko into the group hug in sozin’s comet, you know… because i am so normal.

#it fits in other places to but this is what i am obsessing over #zutara #i love them your honor #he wouldn’t be the first renegade to need somebody!!!!#also thinking about ‘tapped on your darkest night the shape of you was jagged and weak there was nowhere for me to stay but i stayed anyway’#and the crystal catacombs #and how!!! despite all logic or reason she reached back out to him ! becaude katara is the most compassionate person perhaps ever #i love zuko but like. it would’ve absolutely been fair if she’d still hated him lmao #but she saw another hurt teenager hesitantly reach out. and she reached back!!!!#atla #zuko #katara

#aro ludgercasey propaganda #''why cant u be normal abt them'' how can i be normal abt them when solid 80% of their interactions is either angst or stemmed from angst.#even their ''fluff'' moments were also angst.#literally no one does angst like they do.#ludger prefers to keep most of his connections extremely impersonal/professional.#but whether or not he wants to admit it theirs on the other hand simply does not... fit in that category.#he'd even tried to convert it that way but it just didnt stick bc neither of them could help but be themselves around each other lmfao.#ludger is seemly still oblivious to caseys attempt to mend their personal relationship.#which is not too surprising considering he was also oblivious to the existence of their past relationship.#after all there was no reason for him to believe that casey would want to have anything to do with him. except maybe putting him in jail.#so pushing her away seems to be the most logical decision right? personal relationship is a luxury to him anyway.#alas casey who wanted to believe in their past friendship takes it as a sign that ludger has no interest in maintaining it.#she now has to take a step back because ''if you force a relationship it may become more estranged.''#so unless he takes the initiative they are likely stuck in this limbo.#(casey might use impersonal excuses to stay around but rn its all up to ludger to change the nature of their relationship)#casey girlie forget him i would have treated you so much better... is what i would have loved to say.#i wouldnt be suffering this much if ludger wasnt clearly holding himself back most of the time / if it was completely one-sided from casey.#i dont know if this is a slow burn or hurt no comfort but if casey gets no closure im gonna commit arson 😔

why am i suddenly hearing talk about a sonic generations remaster. looks around all scared

#idk if its actually true or not or where it came from ive just seen multiple people mention it at this point #sonic generations is a good game gameplay wise (not so good story wise though) but i dont think it needs a remaster #at most it should just get a port to modern consoles to become more accessible. it does not need a full on remaster #but you could say the same thing about sonic colors and that didnt stop sega from remastering it for literally no reason #so clearly theyre not really thinking logically here #also to be honest i kind of hold a bit of a grudge against generations #because of what the positive reception to it made sega start doing with classic sonic #not that thats the game itselfs fault. i think the classic sonic as a separate guy stuff would have worked as a one time thing for that gam #but unfortunately it did not stay a one time thing

hi snap !! ^_^

in your opinion as the minedai guy, are mine's feelings for daigo reciprocated? or do you think it's more one sided

Its inarguable that daigo genuinely cherished mine as a confidant and a reliable ally. he valued mine not just for his stalwart loyalty, but how despite (or perhaps because of) that loyalty mine was prepared to disagree with daigo and not just be a self-serving yesman only after money or a semblance of power like other members of the tojo; because of mine’s readiness to risk going against daigo despite his position, daigo saw mine as someone who genuinely cared not just for him, but for the tojo clan that meant so much to him

When it comes to romantic feelings though, its never going to be as cut-and-dry as we’d like (unless you’re mine. Unless you’re a raging homosexual like mine.), so i can never- with confidence- say a character has romantic feelings for another (AGAIN. Unless You’re Mine). At the very least, it’s safe to say mine was more explicit about demonstrating that love, or at the very least he was given more chances to show how much he loved daigo, so it’ll always look one-sided going off of what we have so far <- delusional

If we want tho, we can have some fun with the franchise and implications and all. after the events of Y3 via an RGGO story, daigo visits the bar he and mine would frequent. Inside, the bartender brings up a special bottle of alcohol daigo was meant to share with mine, though because mine’s, daigo declines drinking it. Ultimately, he decided the bottle should only be opened if mine was there to share it with him, otherwise it would be pointless

I bring up this moment For Giggles because in Y7, kashiwagi the bartender weaves a similar story during nanba’s drink link. The story goes that he keeps an expensive brand of alcohol on his shelf because he wanted to give the bottle to his lover, though she died before they got the chance to share it and keeps it in honor of her

Obviously, the story’s just a silly front to trick people into coming in- but it is Dually funny considering the parallel to the mine/daigo situation..

#snap chats #tl;dr - i dont know <3 #THE LONGEST NON ANSWER OF MY LIFE LMAOOOOOO #in my heart of hearts i want to believe daigo loved mine the same but i wanna stay within reason to what my eyeballs see #the Y7 story is probably the best indication of daigo loving mine depending on how serious you wanna take it #cause evidently kashiwagi in the story is reflective of daigo #and though kashiwagi’s story was a lie he was still playing the role of a mourning lover #a pretty funny coincidence dont you think…#itd be one thing if The Saved Bottle story was something frequent in rgg #but its really only these two instances i can think of #either/or i always like it when pairings are ambiguous or ‘noncanon’#so whether that hard confirmation comes or not ill be happy #also y4 will always be daigo’s widower moment to me. its just too logical #daigo doing all this dumb shit cause he misses his wife so sad so true can we get five likes #DAMN I HAVENT TYPED AN ESSAY IN NINE YEARS LOL long as hell post bye

Confirmation that Barbatos is a sucker for stubborn and determined little ones, especially if they have next to no hope of getting their way without help. (See: IK. See: Diavolo, apparently.)

heck yeah vindication!!! now we can safely say that the reason ik gets to stay in the devildom when she gets nightbrought is just because barbatos is incapable of saying no to her Look of determination

#answering asks #anon asks #diavolo is equally susceptible but normally barbatos would be there to remind him of logic and reason or whatever #instead diavolo's like 'i know letting a human stay here is risky politically but i feel bad sending her off like this'#and barbatos' immediate response is 'i concur let her stay forever'#ik gets nightbrought

I can see how the regional phenomena in totk is basically totk's version of a modern 4 horsemen of the apocalypse: pollution (the sludge), addiction (marbled rock roast), climate change (the extreme blizzard; admittedly this one is a bit of a stretch), and pestilence/infectious disease (the giant mosquito boss and the undead gibdo). Which, hey, references to real life issues, great, but what I didn't like so much was how you can just solve puzzles and fight bosses--basically have a handful of big name heroes running around doing tasks--and the water will magically clear up, the addicts will magically become normal people again, the extreme storms will magically dissipate, and the pestilence will magically disappear. Real life does not work that way. I know, I know, it's a game why you taking it so seriously blah blah, but I'm just saying, we have to remember that for any of these problems to be solved, it takes a lot of effort and cooperation from a lot of people to accomplish, and that's definitely an understatement.

#totk spoilers #:P #i haven't played many other zelda games so i can't say #but botw and totk are basically the Great Man Theory #aka 'we only need a few big heroes to save the day and nobody else's input is worth much'#maybe I'm too nitpicky or maybe I'm too old to suspend my disbelief entirely #something about that just doesn't quite sit right with me :P #doesn't mean the game is bad but just my thoughts #and let me add that genshin is also kind of a Great Man Theory sort of game on the surface #but in genshin the story itself actually does challenge that idea in many different places #whereas in botw and totk nothing about that logic is even questioned #you are expected to just accept that 'oh the hero defeated the bad guys and now the problems magically went away'#and since we are talking about real life issues this approach is honestly incredibly lazy #basically the same as 'if everyone can drive less (aka be a hero!) then we can reduce emissions and save the environment!'#while completely ignoring how driving is basically essential to life in the greatest country on earth (tm)#bc of urban planning lack of effective public transportation systems and lobbyists #it's a systemic problem and it's not going to be solved by being heroes or eating the rich #in conclusion: if you want to put real life issues in your game please don't be lazy with it #and if you want the traditional hero vs big bad thing then please stay away from real life issues #this is part of the reason why botw is better than totk
