#but never explored her fully.

thinking writing stuff.

tackling some subjects, specifically trans and race, is a difficult thing for me, despite being hispanic, and trying to understand trans identity.

not every person has the same experience, so whether i do a good job writing it could be subjective, no matter how much i try to study and understand people of all sorts. i mostly write fluff and stuff, and adventure and romance, and just people with complicated lives dealing with their complicated matters as best as they can.

but i dont want to subconsciously do something that would cause a major outrage. growing up the way i did, some slang is rather common, and some phrases as well. for example, im often called caramel skin by my sister, which i see as an endearing phrase and compliment, but its not exactly a good thing for others to have their skin compared to food and sweets for different reasons.

so i will keep that out of my stories, and just hope i can write about a person skin color and background well.

same goes for gender identity.

and other things i have not talked about yet, such as disabilities.

hm.

Genuinely don't get how people forget about Trina so easily or undermine her in favour of literally anyone else. Like have you seen this woman. I'm a gay man and I would beg and plead for a chance with her oh my god. Smash.

Finally a new case assignment and it's all thanks to Vincent and Isaac! Let's hope it won't be anything like last time ��

Transcript:

Darius: Team we've got a new case assignment.

Noah: What is it this time? If this is something useless again, then I'm gonna-

Darius: Nah don't worry, this one's up to our standards! Where is Renee?

Noah: She went to get some research papers.

[Renee comes back with confidential Strangerville material as she was given access by her seniors]

Renee: I'm back! I figured we should look into Strangerville since we don't have any cases.

Darius: Hmm? Strangerville?

Renee: [realises he doesn't know the place] You see, our friend from uni is from Strangerville. She went back to take care of business [sighs] but we've not heard from her since. She's disappeared from our lives.

Darius: [skims through a file] Nothing about it online…I wonder what's happening there. I'm sorry about your friend, but let's look at this in the future. We have a potential money laundering case to investigate.

Renee: [recalls Vincent talking about winning his case and its outcome on their walk] We should do that.

i havent read warriors since avos but you are making me want to read the new arcs SO bad just bc i want to know what's up with curlfeather. your most recent art of her is so fire

i cannot truly in good faith recommend the current arc because it is quite bad. all of my curlfeather art operates 99% on my personal interpretation of her since she barely shows up, and when she does appear the erins don’t understand her like i do. however i do think the broken code is worth reading it is very fun despite its flaws and is my second favorite arc personally.

Thinking thoughts about Abuela being back and with this backstory about her being taken in by charlatans and Eddies whole catholic guilt thing and how the two things kind of play into one another as an exploration of faith and being taken in by something.

Abuela giving all her money to the tarot card readers etc because she was searching for something - for connection (with Abuelo) - trying to recapture what she had lost, and How Eddie has spoken about trying to re-find the magic he had with Shannon - how Eddie hasn't actually fully reconciled the Shannon of it all when it comes to relationships and how his Catholic guilt connects into that.

How Marisol as a physical representation of Catholicism is part of that narrative - how Eddie is entering a place where he has to chose his path - in order to move on from Shannon he needs to fully square the hole - catholic or non catholic. And how that needs to happen first - before he can begin his queer journey!

Sometimes, Star Trek will introduce an idea that is incredibly disturbing, horrific, and traumatizing, and then barely (if at all) address the ramifications of that occurrence

I loved the Fionna and Cake ending! I can't believe so many people seem to feel luke warm on it? I got almost everything I had been wanting, and was pleasantly surprised by the things I didn't expect.

I've been seeing people say the Casper and Nova story was hamfisted and that the audience didn't need another explanation of Simon and Betty's relationship when it was already made so clear even in the original run and then again throughout Fionna and Cake.

But it was a fresh way for Simon to gain understanding. Casper and Nova act as a vehicle for the little girl to be inspired by him in new ways. The implications of Betty being able to send him into Shermy's mind 1000 years in the future knowing he'll read a book that was paradoxically created because of her sending his conciousness there?? Plus we got to see more of Beth and Shermy which is cool. It was fun.

I also loved the bus scene reprise, and all the little metaphors peppered into it. Betty describing him as an experience and saying she didn't have any regrets. Maybe finding some peace in seeing Simon again and finally getting him to understand where they went wrong. Maybe getting to move forward herself, in whatever enigmatic way she is able to fused with a chaos god.

Star Trek Voyager episode 2x05 “Elogium” manages to capture the highs and lows of Star Trek in the same episode. The episode features a lot of thoughtful commentary/discussion on a variety of subjects, including:

Bodily autonomy

The ethics of generational spaceships (having children so they can fulfill a purpose)

Discussion about “it takes a village to raise a child” - if anyone has children on Voyager, the entire crew will have to come together as a community to raise and teach them

Parenthood being a thoughtful responsibility rather than just something you do because you’re “supposed to”

On the other hand, the B plot is that Voyager’s emissions are sexually attractive to a species of space-faring life forms, and they have to show submission to a rival being before they can escape.

Brain still soup but like. I think making one or both (or more!) characters involved in relationships with each other aromantic makes the dynamic soooooo much more compelling. Because if you remove romance as a motivator, you really get down to the nitty-gritty as to WHY that character is seeking out/involved in those relationships in the first place. Whether that relationship involves romantic factors or is more of a queer platonic thing. Much to think about....
