My Favorite Detail in Farscape is [Spoilers!]

Ok for real spoilers for the entire show including Peacekeeper Wars, so I'll put a gif here and you all agree to scroll on past if you don't want spoilers for a show that ended in 2004.

Ok, so for everyone still here, my all-time favorite detail in Farscape is one that I didn't catch until my second watch-through, and I don't think it's common knowledge in the fandom. (Edit: apparently it's more commonly known about then I realized! Obviously this is because Farscape fans are keen-eyed and insightful and starved for content lol). It's certainly never mentioned or pointed out in the show itself. But it's just so perfect that I get giddy everytime I think about it.

So after Crichton gets twinned, in "Thanks for Sharing," Crichton A gets injured in the bar explosion on that planet that puts lobsters on your head. He is left with a cut above his left eyebrow, and the resulting scar can be used to tell the two Crichtons apart for the rest of season 3 (Crichton A is the one on Talyn with Aeryn).

No scar on Crichton B aboard Moya.

(Also frell me it's hard getting clear pics / gifs for this show somebody get on that)

Anyway, the scar/injury is never really addressed after that first episode, it's just a super-subtle costuming detail that shows the two Crichtons are now living separate lives. Crichton A then dies after finally achieving everything he ever wanted, Aeryn is heartbroken, drama ensues. The question is raised and discussed often, with much angst: which Crichton was the real one? Did Aeryn fall in love with the original or the copy?

Of course, Crichton B eventually accepts that they were both "him" and yet both individuals too, and Aeryn eventually says "There is no longer any difference in my mind." So it's resolved, mostly.

BUT.

2.5 seasons later, at the end of "The Peacekeeper Wars" Crichton B finally activates the wormhole weapon. After Einstein unlocks the knowledge for him, he returns to Moya bloody and hurt. And for the rest of the movie, he has a wound, and then a scar--a small cut above his left eyebrow.

It's never mentioned. It happens right near the end, when obviously a lot of other things are going on. It's really, super easy to miss. But I think it's amazing. They both really were the real Crichton. And even when they split and began leading separate lives--their destiny was still the same. The timelines reunited, kinda, or two separate possible outcomes synced up. It's such a beautiful, perfect bow to wrap up one of the most emotionally powerful arcs in the show. I just love it. Farscape really is in a league of its own.

I don’t know what I expected from riverdale season 7 but it wasn’t Hiram lodge being investigated by the FBI for communism because he met with Fidel Castro in Cuba

Waking someone up to my dick in one of their holes is one of life's greatest gifts. Especially when they start mewling into their pillow as they approach bliss right out of their slumber. And those bleary eyes when they reach out to me for a kiss.

💫🍭💎

Hi, hi! Thank you for sending this ask, and I hope you have fun reading the rest of constellations! please get tissues for chapter 3!! I'm warning u, because other people haven't listened to my warning and they regretted it LMFAO

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

i LOVE long comments so much! but every fic writer does. I love comments that say when you were reading the fic, how it made you feel, what you're thinking. like, if there's some plot that's mysterious, I love knowing what people's theories are and what they got from certain scenes. And also!! just how certain scenes made them feel inside. I just love having insight to that because it lets me know what's working in my writing and what's not. So it's good feedback.

🍭why did you start writing?

UHm... I think I just started because it was fun. I liked reading, and I had ideas based on those books and on anime I watched as a kid, and writing out those ideas was fun. I also loved roleplaying a lot. And i loved writing funny short stories for people to read. I wrote on fanfiction.net at first and people would talk about how funny my little drabbles are. And it was fun! And I loved how reading a fic made me feel, so I wanted to make others feel that way.

💎why is writing important to you?

It's VERY important to me because it's an outlet for expression. It's a stress reliever. It's a coping mechanism. It's personal and fun and interesting. And I just love it. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't write LMFAO and it took me years to get to this point of like writing and completing things and actually being told i'm good at writing. I'm committed to getting better at my craft. And I want to continue to improve and just do my best. I don't think I'll ever stop writing. I did briefly in high school, and that was a mistake. I missed it a lot. But! I'm back now as an adult and I'll probably still be writing fanfic when i'm 60 or whatever. LMFAO

Well, love after all is a habit like any other. A habit, maybe. Like any other, no.

Tried making a character playlist for my friend but it truly just doesn't hit like when I'm adding to my Bakugou playlist. The songs call to me-they choose the playlist, I am but a measly conduit for their travels. There's no effort just yes

I have no excuse for this one. I woke up from a fever dream with this prompt in my notes app. I think Neil just really reminds me of a scruffy scavenger animal you'd find in a trashcan. Anyway bonus panel:

it’s not necessarily that I hate the themes most prevalent in fiction set in the real world and it’s not necessarily that I don’t like stories revolving around real people or relationship drama or interpersonal issues it’s more like im a dog who doesn’t recognize that a pill is still a pill if it has peanut butter on it. I need like the little peanut butter spoonful that is aliens or robots or monsters or time travel or something fantastical and not at all down to earth real life so that you can approach me and be like “this story is about how friendships can deteriorate over time and also how this guy feels bad for being a bad friend and causing his buddy problems with their girlfriend” and then look at me making a face at you and be like “AND! they’re all aliens who are doing all that across spacetime” and I’ll be like OHHHHHH OKAY YAY (shlop shlap shlup the sound of a dog horking down peanut butter pills) wow what a poignant story
