one my favorite parts of watching voyager for the first time is how tuvok brings a whole new context to spock.

that tumblr post floating around where vulcans basically see spock as jvn with gritty? completely believable after watching voyager.

i mean, canon basically stayed away from vulcans in tng and ds9 (notable exceptions excluded of course), so it wasn't until voyager that there was something new on the vulcan front.

then suddenly there's tuvok with his wholly logical approach and his super emotional suppression techniques, and he's denying vulcans can have friends because the emotional connotation of the word cannot be fulfilled, and he's explaining to harry kim about how "to the trained vulcan intellect, intense romantic love is nothing more than a set of stereotypical behaviors" and humans who don't have vulcan discipline are swept along by the process, and you look back at spock and go...oh. oh.

jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

obsessed with the idea of time as a physical location. the way you can use "back then" and "back there" interchangeably. time "travel". old memories being described as "distant", as if where they took place corresponds with when. the way that being unable to let go of the past is referred to as an inability to "move on". death, the cessation of motion of both body and time for the affected individual, being a point of "rest". the past is another country; they do things differently there.

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.
