:o Darryl and Scary for the ask game!

Heya Baba! Thank you for the ask, hmm going to go into the Scary part first since I have my playlist on-- ----- Scary- what’s your favorite song? Top 3 favs at the moment: Sherlock Holmes Theme (from The Great Ace Attorney) fav character in the game and the theme fits his vibe so well, he is so silly and interesting. This is fun to whistle along too Run by OneRepublic, I've liked the band for a pretty long time so gives me a nostalgic vibe. I think the music video is pretty amusing too!

Pity Party by Melanie Martinez, always daydream of character music videos when I listen to this...lately I think of Nicky and him telling his son "this was my fav arm, you don't see me crying about it" and my inner thought in return "but maybe you should let yourself cry about that? Its okay to cry." Catchy angst songs get me every time x'D Alright, onto the second question!

Darryl - do you have a good relationship with your dad? Yes and no. So I mentioned in some tags once that I see a lot of myself and my mom in Glenn and Nick (being friends more than parent and child). For my dad, well coincidently--I see a lot of him in Darryl. Ya know that 'lets talk about this later (usually never)' quote but also 'a dad that doesn't know much about his kids interest but is trying to understand anyway. He's always been supportive of my art since I was kid and a part of me still cherishes that. As long as we don't talk about the hard stuff, its fine, peaceful, so that's my reason for the Yes. He's also not well-informed on LGBTQ+ but again is learning and supportive. (CW for verbal abuse mention) Now for the no, if Daryl is the good parts of my dad...the bad parts-- I see those in Willy. My dad has always been nicer to his coworkers/friends than to the family he came home to everyday. He was also a salesman hmm...that charisma. And when I was younger I didn't mind that much. I noticed but the difference wasn't that harsh at first. He just smiled and laughed a lot more with one group versus the other, still lavished his kids with gifts as a form of affection, tried his best to make us laugh. But as my sister and I grew up, the difference in behavior was getting more obvious. His annoyance and anger were showing more often than not. He was never physically abusive but was verbally. There were other factors involved such as work issues, health issues, and his own issues with his parents. His parents/siblings basically treated him (the youngest) like an outcast so he wasn't allowed to be close to them emotionally and had to be pretty independent. Generational trauma...looking at dndads as a podcast I adore but also "wow, I'm in this picture and I don't like it" Flashback to him being a parent and husband and well...he blamed us for all the stress he was under--be that from work stuff or body pain (from major health issues which eventually lead to him having a leg prosthetic). Unlike Willy he'd feel guilty and genuinely apologize but the pattern would just repeat so stuff felt hollow after awhile. He's been getting care for his health and behavioral issues these days (and is retired). Has been making an effort to mend his rocky relationships with us but also isn't forcing the conversations. Still frustrating days sometimes. Has said things that no apology will ever be enough for but I appreciate that he's trying. I didn't mention my sister in detail here but truly she is the Lark to my Sparrow, intense hatred of father figures included. My sister's two years younger than me but we are often mistaken as twins as well haha. Doesn't help that we both have the same first letter in our names too. We were able to trick our classmates and teachers a few times which was funny. She lives in another state for college right now but we're still pretty close! Want to say that I am 100% okay with sharing this (and feel free to reblog if you want to). Nonetheless, hope it wasn't too much of a bummer to read! :]

what are your favorite shield of tomorrow moments?

anon thank you,,, i could talk about this show all day

- I Remember is one of the best series of episodes for anything ever; they let you in immediately on the internal lives of these characters. it’s the second arc of the campaign and the show really says “here’s a core experience about what it means to be each of these people, here are some of their motivations and here are some of their shameful moments” which is just such a way in for the audience. anyway specifically t’lan and sh’shirros in I Remember Part 2 changed everything and led to the first use of the EMH and i love the EMH so much...

- i love all the npcs but zazrit is really That NPC for me... anytime he shows up it’s like Oh No, Will Captain Martinez Face A Moral Dillemma~ whatever is he to do~ but more seriously eric does an incredible job challenging the players on this show and zazrit defies boundaries. Out of Bounds really does it for me.

- “you’re about to die, junil” in Scarecrow is Everything. the dryden & junil stuff is some of the most compelling stuff in the show but the idea of him just appearing in the corner of their vision to say “everyone here is about to die” was extremely memorable. fully makes sense that after that they decided he was worth trusting, even better that he immediately peaced out and left them holding the bag.

- the chase scene with lark and sh’shirros and tolos in Hard Six is just... the most cinematic thing. the intensity of it. the way they’re all trapped in this submerged geothermal facility with the emergency lights blaring, knowing it’s one bad move from coming apart around them. the way that you know if the romulans catch up they are Going To Die, but lark and sh’shirros aren’t runners... the tension... (this is also where i got really into sh’shirros/tolos which i do not regret, it was the ship of ships. sh’shirros/tolos/rue is the ot3 of the show and i love them sm)

- i forget what episode it happened in but when zhiv let lark know that he knew that she was unhappy i just about died. that scene cemented my love for zhiv, who i was already a really big fan of. he’s just. he Really Does Care. zhiv & mala is the brotp.

- martinez’s value challenge in Battle at Kuviam Prime, need i say more.

- biased bc i just reached it in my rewatch but the entirety of Shore Leave At Last. that two-parter had Everything. ships becoming canon. drunk!mala and lark. mala backstory. borg. scotty was there. martinez being martinez. t’lan apologizing about blushing. the turbolift scene. the absolutely terrifying way everything falls together at the end, leading to The best cliffhanger in the show imo. watching it when you know what happens at the end of part two gives it such a sense of building momentum and it’s so good to watch t’lan and martinez and rue and sh’shirros play off of each other in the more confined spaces. it was almost a callback to the regula arc, but t’lan wasn’t stuck on the ship. you really see everyone sharpened to knives.

- i’m about to reach Strange Friends which i remember being The Best Rue Episodes in a series with tons of fantastic rue moments, i love the commander with all my heart, and i’m excited!!!! to see them going rogue. i think that’s where sam takes off their uniform jacket and says “i’m on shore leave” which was like. oof. ugh i love narendra station. junil rue i have feelings for you.

anyway, shield of tomorrow is a fantastic show!! if you like star trek a lot you’ll probably enjoy it bc the people that made it do, and if you’re not as familiar with everything (my own history with trek is very spotty and weird) it’s still One Of The Great Actual Play Shows Of Our Time.

Fic: The Inability To Learn

Title:  The Inability To Learn Rating: PG Word Count: 1293 Character(s)/Pairing(s): Lark Martinez/Jake Highwind Summary: Jake had the uncanny ability to annoy her. Note: From the old LJ community.

Jake had the uncanny ability to annoy her. Ever since they were babies, as a matter of fact. Back when they were that little it was stupid stuff. Him being too loud or too rough or taking her toys without asking. But when she got older it seemed that every single thing that he said or did got on he nerves. It seemed that even breathing around her set her off and she knew it was a bit ridiculous but she couldn’t help it. Something about him just constantly rubbed her the wrong way. Rory used to say that it was because deep down inside she was in love with Jake- to which Lark replied with an angry glare and ended up chasing her out of the room. There was absolutely, positively no way that she was in love with Jake fucking Highwind. That would be like loving a sewer rat. It was just a disgusting idea. He was crude and foulmouthed and had taken up his father's annoying habit of calling every female he ever spoke to 'woman' which annoyed her to no end. And that’s why every time he did that to her Lark Martinez would slap him on the back of the head really, really hard. She'd made him stumble a couple of times doing that because she hit him so hard and he was stupid enough not to expect it though it should have become obvious that’s what she'd do. She had done it every time that he called her that since they were about six so you would have thought he would expect it but apparently he was too dumb to do that. But he was also apparently too dumb to stop pissing her off. It seemed like it was his goal in life to get her so mad she wanted to beat the hell out of him. He pushed and pushed and pushed and then seemed surprised when she reacted the way she did. And that was stupid because they'd known each other since Lark was born. He should have known her temper by then. But everything that he shouldknow seemed to go over his head. When it wasn’t important he got it. It was a sad, sad state of affairs. If he just had enough of a brain to shut up most of the time then he wouldn’t get beaten to hell. She was sitting in the library with her sister when Jake got to her this time. She was fourteen years-old, just starting high school and technically Jake was a year older than her. He had just missed the cutoff and couldn’t start school with the other kids his age- Lark thought he was just too stupid so they waited a year. That’s just her personal opinion though. No one had ever confirmed her theory. She expected it to be the truth though. Jake was just fucking dim. They were only in the library because Rory had vanished again recently. She did that a lot, she did that a whole lot. She would just not be in her room in the morning when they all had to get up for school and she would just be gone. She'd be gone with no word and no note and sometimes she wouldn’t come back for days at a time. Their parents hated it and worried about her the entire time but they knew that was just Rory. She always came back. And if she was really, really in trouble she would call one of them- or even Uncle Reno. She had options. But Rory had vanished again, had been gone for three days and like she always did when she came back she had gone to Satoru and asked him for the notes she missed. That’s why they were there in the library, so Rory could copy Satoru's notes. And that was fine. Lark liked Satoru. He was a sweet, shy guy that never did anything to anyone. He was a really nice guy. So the whole situation would have been fine if it hadn’t been for the fact that Satoru was inexplicably best friends with Jake fucking Highwind. And while she sat next to her sister in the library Jake was sitting next to Satoru. And Jake didn’t mix well with libraries. The guy had never learned what an inside voice was. Lark was sitting there with her chin in her hand as she waited for Rory to finish copying the notes. She knew it would take a while though because Satoru had been notorious for taking a crap load of notes, of writing down almost every word the teacher said. It came in handy but it took forever to copy. So she knew she was going to be sitting there for a while. But the thing that made her uncomfortable was that she knew Jake was looking at her. She could feel his gaze, his basically lecherous gaze. Because this was Jake. He was just naturally lecherous. After a moment she dropped her hand down to the table and turned her head slightly to look at the blonde man in question, her eyes narrowed. "What the hell are you looking at?" Rory barely glanced up from her writing. She was used to all of this by now but Satoru turned his head so he could look at the two of them, his eyes wide, panicked. He never did like when they fought. He wasn’t a confrontational person himself and every time they were at each other's throat he got this strange look on his face, like he's about to have a full on panic attack right there. He just never, ever did well when Lark and Jake fought. Jake, however, just smiled. "I'm lookin' at ya, darlin'." "Well don’t." "It’s the library. I can look wherever I want to." "Not if I don’t want you looking at me." "Why would you care?" "Because I don’t want you looking at me." "Why not? I'm just lookin' at ya. I ain't doing nothing." "I don’t want you looking at me. Look at the damn books on the shelves or something." "Now why would I wanna look at that? Ain't as interesting as lookin' at you." "Well, I want you to stop." "Damn, woman. Stop actin' like I'm doing something to ya!" Rory's head came up slowly, her eyes shifting from what she was copying to Jake and then to Lark and then to Satoru. She met his dark eyes and they both knew what was coming next. The same thing that always came after that. It was the same thing that had been happening for years. Lark's eye twitched slightly at the corner as she stood up from her chair. It was oddly calm given the angry energy flowing off of her in waves. But if you didn’t know her and just looked at her you'd think nothing was wrong. But something most definitely was. "Do. Not. Call. Me. Woman." It happened before Rory could say or do anything. Lark reached down and picked up her sister's math book, thankfully the lightest of their books and she hit Jake right upside the head with it. He, understandably, let out this string of curses that could almost rival his father but Lark didn’t seem to care. She just picked up her backpack and walked out of the library, muttering under her breath the entire time. Rory turned her attention back to Satoru while Jake had his hand pressed against the side of his head and she just sighed. "I've said it once and I'll say it again- they're either going to get married or kill each other." Satoru wasn’t so sure either of those options were good.

[elysiicn-blog]

hello everyone ! i’m kas & this blog will house my three babies ( brynn banner, nikolas ramirez & mireia castellano ) i l o v e plotting even though i’m probs the least creative person out there, so bear with me, yeah ? below the cute little cut you will find all three of my characters’ intros !

dove cameron ?  no, i’m certain that’s just brynn ( she/her ), a member of the banner family. the 22 year old student is known to be extremely affable and also very reticent. when i think of them i picture burning roses, red lipstick, & frilly dresses.

brynn is the youngest of the banner family & relished in being the baby when she was growing up. she adores her entire family, even if they might not agree on all of the same things. she is closest with luna, who is just two years older than her. 

she is in medical school currently. she is working towards a bachelor’s in pre med ( this is her last year ), then plans on studying under the wing of creon’s finest ( thank you family connections ) while working towards her medical degree.

while she is very friendly & will strike up a conversation with just about anyone, she can also be hesitant to who she lets in just because when your family is high up politically, you are not allowed a lot of mishaps or scandals before the entire family name is tarnished. so she just prefers to keep her life private from most people.

when she does gain friends, she is fiercely loyal & will do anything in her power to keep her loved ones happy. she likes pretending to be a fairy godmother. whatever her friends or family needs help with, she’ll snap her fingers & they can consider it done. 

this can get her into tricky situations bc she will do reckless or crazy things for people. this is another reason why she is closed off. when she was in grade school, she had a friend who she absolutely adored. but this friend made all the wrong choices & convinced brynn that they were good ideas. long story short, brynn almost wrecked her & her family’s reputation. so she remains guarded around people until she is sure that they won’t betray her willingness to help with anything.

things i would love for her: exes ( any gender identity ), best friends, enemies ( pretty basic, i know )

tommy martinez ?  no, i’m certain that’s just nikolas ramirez ( he/him ), the 27 year old mechanic. they are known to be extremely loyal and also very pertinacious. they are definitely a rebel associate & when i think of them i picture greasy hands, early morning coffee, & ripped jeans. 

nikolas here is an only child. he grew up in the system so has never really had any faith in the government style on creon. it’s no surprise that he became a rebel associate in the last few years. 

from a young age, he loved working with cars or bikes. anything that drove fast, really. this gets him quite a bit of connections that could be useful for the rebels. he knows everything there is to know about cars from those of the old days on earth to luxury cars on creon; the shop that he owns is a go to for all sorts of people. 

while he can be loyal to a fault, he has issues with romantic commitment. the idea of being with someone for the rest of his life freaks him out & he prefers to stay away from those situations, mostly taking part in hook ups or short, one - two month relationships. he did have one ex girlfriend that he was dating for two - three years ( before he realized that he had terrible commitment issues ) ;; the ex connection was just requested to be added to the wc page if anyone is interested

connections for nik: exes, hook ups / one night stands ( any gender identity ), best friend, work associates, etc.

ester exposito ? no, i’m certain that’s just mireia castellano ( she/her ), the 21 year old student. they are known to be extremely courageous and also very flirtatious. they are definitely a civilian & when i think of them i picture crimson red nail polish, the touch of velvet, & laced bralettes. 

mireia castellano is the daughter of a religious man who curses the day she was born. it didn’t take long before she found herself comfortable with her sexuality & she began coming home with anyone who would explore with her. having a religious father who was very anti-sex before marriage, this nearly gave him a heart attack. 

mireia moved out of her father’s house at the age of 17 with some friends & never looked back. she began going to school to get a psychology degree, but funds fell short. so she began working as an escort / prostitute / what have you for lark kent in order to pay for schooling. however, being someone who was 110% comfortable with their sexuality, she enjoyed the work. even though she wouldn’t have to work any more to pay for her schooling, she still does. 

there are no secrets in mireia’s life. she is an open book & will talk someone’s ear off if she’s given the chance. if you betray any ounce of her trust, you will have to pay the consequences. she does not forgive easily & she is quick to get revenge. 

connections for her: flings, clients, best friends, exes, someone give me a poly, yeah ?

"Soft" Birds

"Now if you accept, you'll need a name...Lark? Too soft and no Bats come out by day." – Batman as written by Scott Snyder and Tony Patrick I have to agree with the last part of the statement – even if Duke Thomas worked at night, giving him a name with a bat prefix would be problematic. Everything in the cave (including the cave itself), most personal nouns, one bat body part, and a cow has a bat prefix. The only personal noun not used is: "boy" and Batboy sounds a tad jejune. Thomas could have donned the Black Bat name, but that's sounds like a name that would have been given to him during the Golden Age and I don't think it would go over well with the Cassandra Cain aficionados. Lastly, I'm not sure that Thomas (as of yet) earned the privilege of having a bat prefix name. Now the proceeding part, I feel conflicted about. While the name Lark does sound soft, it has very little to do about the person's skills, abilities or demeanor. The above characters took soft bird names, but each one of them, whether hero, anti-hero or villain totally kicks ass that belies their avian names. Additionally, I find it incongruous that Bruce Wayne accepted Robin (and in the same vein Red Robin), but rejected Lark – two birds quite alike in their viciousness. While my first visceral reaction to Thomas' name was extreme displeasure, I have grown to live with it. My aversion was that it was non-avian in nature and that it was a name given by the Joker in that combination, which sounds too much like Jason Todd. Although, in the first issue of Batman and the Signal, it has been retconned by being inspired by Thomas' mother, Elaine, which now sounds a lot like Dick Grayson. Regardless, I really hope this miniseries is a success, so that there would be future miniseries or even an ongoing one. Image Used:

Rick Grimes Will Return to The Walking Dead Comic to Battle Aliens

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has always liked to tease that the real cause of the zombie outbreak in his long-running comic series was extraterrestrial in nature. Back in January 2020, Kirkman responded to a question on Twitter as to the zombie outbreak’s origin with a simple “space spore.”

This was a joke, of course, but it was also a stealthy shout out to what The Walking Dead could have been.

Kirkman originally developed The Walking Dead as a Night of the Living Dead comic. But when Image Comics encouraged him to develop his own idea so that he could control the IP, Kirkman concocted a “Plan 9 From Outer Space-esque tale of how the zombies were actually animated by an alien race that was preparing to invade Earth by disrupting its infrastructure.”

That obviously never came to pass and The Walking Dead would go on to tell 193 issues of strictly zombie stories with no off-world shenanigans. Now that the series is over, however, Kirkman appears eager to once again pay homage to that original idea. Skybound Entertainment, the production and publishing company co-founded by Kirkman, announced its plans for a 10th anniversary celebration today, and those plans include a pretty stunning bit of alternate Walking Dead history. 

Starting in July of this year, Skybound and Image Comics will launch a five-issue, limited comic series called Skybound X. Each issue of the series will feature new material covering existing Walking Dead characters and other Skybound properties from writers and artists such as Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Tillie Walden, Donny Cates, Joshua Williamson, Chip Zdarsky, James Harren, and Daniel Warren Johnson. 

Skybound X Issue 1 will even feature the comic debut of beloved Telltale Walking Dead game character Clementine! What’s also particularly intriguing about this announcement, however, is that each of Skybound X’s five issues will begin with a new chapter of Rick Grimes 2000, written by Kirkman and illustrated by Invincible artist Ryan Ottley. What exactly is Rick Grimes 2000? We’re so glad you asked because that’s where the aliens come in.

Rick Grimes 2000 is a brief sci-fi Walking Dead spinoff included as a lark at the end of the series’ 75th issue. The non-canonical tale is only six pages long but packs an astonishing amount of explanation and action into that short frame. Like The Walking Dead itself, Rick Grimes 2000 opens with Rick waking up from a coma in a hospital bed. Based on the machinery Rick is hooked up to and his new Luke Skywalker-style mechanical hand, it’s clear that something is way off.

Rick makes it out of the hospital only to encounter some of his old friends (and foes) whom he believed to be dead: Tyreese, Axel, and Martinez. Tyreese explains that aliens have been gathering up humans as they die to turn them into supersoldiers for their alien army. Michonne then further clarifies that these same aliens have been behind all the zombie nonsense in The Walking Dead world. 

The aliens came to Earth to harvest our water, which is their currency. They launched the zombie outbreak to that end. Now they’re rounding up the few survivors to continue harvesting water. Their most enthusiastic ally in this endeavor is none other than Brian Blake a.k.a. The Governor. After the Gov smashes Michonne’s face in and taunts Rick, the text at the bottom of the page reads “Not to be continued.” 

Well, apparently Rick Grimes 2000 was to be continued and the story will proceed very shortly. The first issue of Skybound X features a sci-fi Rick Grimes on its cover, clutching a lightsaber-like device and surrounded by zombies. 

The original Walking Dead comic run remains very much over with the television series set to follow it out after its 11th season. Aside from a colorized re-release of the comic underway now and a Negan spinoff, Kirkman has indicated that the Walking Dead canon is all set. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Still, it’s nice to know that the writer is still open to some non-canonical adventures in this big TWD sandbox. Send Rick Grimes to kill aliens, why not? Rick Grimes has historically succeeded at just about whatever he puts his mind to…save for encounters with rich, gun-toting brats.

Rick Grimes 2000 will premiere in Skybound X #1 on July 7.

Are you doing the charater headcanons thingy? If so, Junil Rue :P

AAAAAAAAAAH NONNY YES YES YES YES I AM AND ESPECIALLY FOR JUNIL RUE COMMANDER OF MY HEART OR ANY OF THE SHIELD OF TOMORROW CHARACTERS

Headcanon A:  realistic

- They have, at some point in the years they knew him, knocked Martinez the fuck out with their bare hands, no crutches needed. It’s one of the many reasons he respects them so much.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

- They’re nowhere near as cool and collected as they pretend to be, and it’s taken all of their energy to not blush crimson red as Zazrit and Tolosh flirted with them

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

- The second Larks Sage opened her mouth, they fell head over heels in love with her. They’re literally on cloud nine every time she’s near them, but they have a list of reasons nothing can ever happen in their head at all times. The top reason is “why would anyone ever love you?

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

- They have feelings for the-starfleet-officer-formerly-known-as-Lassie-LeClerc and at this point they can’t tell if it’s their previous’ hosts desires or their own and they honestly don’t care anymore

Hair Hues of Radiata Stories

Here is the complete list of all the Radiata Stories characters (both recruitable and NPCs) taken from Fuck Yeah Radiata Stories​ and sorted by hair colour. There are a couple things I want to add. 

First off, while most of the characters fit neatly into one of the eight categories, there are some characters whose hair colour was more ambiguous (i.e. dark blonde vs. light brown hair). I placed them where I thought they were best fit.

Black and blue are the same category because some of the black-haired characters like Cairn have a bluish tint and technically speaking, black pigment is really just a dark blue anyway.

There are some characters who are either bald or have their head covered so you can’t tell the colour of their head hair. Instead of classifying them as bald or unknown, I classified them based on the colour of their facial hair and eyebrows. This is why Dynas is in with the brunettes instead of the baldies.

While I could have made a separate category for pink hair, I ultimately decided it should just belong with red/orange because pink is just light red anyway.

Overall, there is a wide, diverse spectrum of hair colours and not all characters fit perfectly into their respective category. So if you think certain characters are miscategorised, well that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it.

Long post under the cut.

Transcript Shield of Tomorrow S02 Ep03: Tristan and K'ven decide their future

[SPOILERS for Shield of Tomorrow S02.E02 "Time Waits for No One - Part 1" & S02.E03 "Time Waits for No One - Part 2"]

This was such an incredibly beautiful scene I had to transcribe it. On a day that was garbage for me, this particularly filled me with life (genuinely reduced a lot of physical pain and miraculously gave me energy). I cracked two jokes on Twitter, that are honestly undergirded with serious respect:

Network TV: "Bury your gays." Geek & Sundry: "Marry your gays."

Star-crossed lovers: Strait plot: Romeo & Juliet - everyone dies. Gay plot: Tristan & K'ven - everyone lives.

This plot was beautiful, but it also reinforced something that deserves attention: Geek & Sundry has created a space where people can tell stories like this, and they are more than respected: They are adored by the cast, crew, and fans. They are normalized: many forms and examples, allowed to be messy, allowed to be transcendently perfect. The very idea that the love of two gay men could stand as a beacon of hope to reunite two fractured peoples is quite frankly not something teenage me seriously thought she'd ever see. That was something I was bitter about long before I realized I was queer. What a time to be alive.

Many of the plots on G&S's shows are risky, and they do put queer characters in danger, some even fatally. But always because the queer character was selflessly putting themselves in danger. Hurt or killed despite being queer, not because they are queer. It's a space where I don't have to worry about the gross "Bury your gays" trope. Where the happy endings always vastly exceeding the tragic. The harm actually serves to humanize queer characters rather than dehumanize them in this context because it shows they are neither excessively targeted nor placed on a pedestal; they are merely real and equal. That is profoundly special in media today, and it can ONLY read that way if that equality is well established and reinforced. That's the media I've always wanted.

I've broken this transcript into two versions: text only and with screenshots. It's easier to read and quote straight text. But the acting was so wonderfully expressive that I didn't want to lose that for people who can't view the broadcast, and I wanted to highlight some of the entirely-too-adorable frames of all the cast. The one thing the screenshots don’t necessarily capture well is sometimes the rest of the cast were listening so attentively they look zoned out in the stills because you can’t see the subtle nods and other indicators.

 On Project Alpha. This right here is exactly why Alpha is worth my $5 a month. Easily more life-sustaining than one meal a month or two bottles of kombucha. You don't get the art you want if you don't support it.

Setup

The Khitomer Accords have been broken. The Federation is on the brink of war with the Dominion. The USS Sally Ride, a Federation science vessel, has been granted passage by the Klingon Empire to use the Corridor to reach. Deep into Klingon space, they receive a Klingon and Federation distress call from a colony on Klingon world. A small group of Federation engineers and scientists were deployed there in a mission of friendship, then forgotten. The Sally Ride responds and finds a colony collapsing from technical problems and a strange disease. They meet an old Klingon representative named Anek, and a desperate Federation Lt. Tristan Peylore, now the de facto commanding officer, trying to hold the place together. One problem is they've lost touch with the environmental control facility, and have been unable to reach it for about a month due to the harsh weather. Lt. Peylore is particularly worried because the man he loves, K'ven, is over there. Lots of batshit crazy stuff happens, but eventually K'ven is among those rescued. The colony is evacuated to the Sally Ride, before being transferred to the Klingons.

 Eric (GM): "K'ven stops, too, and turns as he's also walking off. He stops in the corridor and looks back at you. He's looking a lot better. He's still… His body weight is still significantly decreased from the last time you had seen him, but he's up walking, moving around, he's energetic, he's obviously regenerating. Klingons have redundant organs all over their bodies; they are hardy folk. He probably lived through something that would have killed three other humans. He stops and looks back at you and says,"

K'ven, uncertainly: "What happens now?"

Lt. Peylore sighs and anxiously touches his temple.

Lt. Peylore, regretfully: "We knew this day would come. I…" He sighs. "I know that it would be asking a lot, and… it's not with a light heart that I ask this of you, but... I want you to stay.” Quietly impassioned: "I want you to come with me. I've shared in your world and in your culture. I wanna show you mine."

Eric: "He looks kind of over his shoulder at you, and you see standing a few feet away is Anek, who has stopped, and is just watching. And he turns back and says,"

K'ven, uncertainly: "I don't know. I want that, too. But, we're all so scattered now. With the colony failed, we won't have any other place to go. Most of our engineers died. I… I don't know what to do. I… I don't know if I should leave them, but I don't want to leave you."

The statement hangs in the air until Peylore suddenly snaps his attention back from his thoughts.

Lt. Peylore, strongly: "Listen—"

K'ven: "Why can't you stay?"

Lt. Peylore: He sighs. "I think that we can do good together. For the Federation, and for the Empire. We can show that this works. We need the environment to be able to do that. If we're taking care of another colony, we're just going back to our lives; it's busy work. They are fine. They're farmers. They're agriculturalists. They can take care of themselves wherever they're placed. But we are a symbol now. And we can make real change. And I love you."

Eric: "You see, that catches him, a little surprised."

K'ven: "I did not know." For the first time starting to sound more confident, "I should have known." Laughing, "I am stupid for not knowing that. I…"

Eric: "He looks back over his shoulder again, and Anek just goes,"

Anek slowly nods, and softly chuckles.

Eric: "And he turns and leans heavy against the cane and starts to walk away. K'ven looks back at you and says,"

K'ven: "Let's go before I change my mind."

Lt. Peylore, with many small, reassuring nods: "We're gonna be amazing."

K'ven: "I am frightened, but I am brave.” Haltingly: "I love you as well, Tristan."

Lt. Peylore: "I know."

K'ven: "Good. I'm so terrible at saying things like that. You'll have to help me."

Lt. Peylore: "I'm here every step of the way."

Xander (Peylore): "And I'll take his hand, bring him back."

Eric: "He takes yours."

Lt. Peylore: "Captain?"

Hector (Martinez): "Oh! I was here the whole time?"

Bonnie (Lark): "Were we all there?"

Capt. Martinez: "Oh I didn't see—" he sniffs and wipe a tear out of his eye, "all that. Um…" He grins sheepishly, then recomposes himself. "Yeah, Lieutenant?"

Lt. Peylore: "Permission to come aboard?"

Capt. Martinez: "Granted as fuck."

Eric: As those two move back down the corridor towards the entry way to the Sally Ride…"

Capt. Martinez: "Get out of here you scamps."

Xander (Peylore): "I start skipping."

Farewell Frankie, A Day Out And An Angry Dog...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (20th-24th November 2017)

It was the week of Frankie’s funeral and as Jack was being about as much help as a Hollyoaks Police officer at a crime scene, Darren and Esther were forced to take over the arrangements. Unfortunately, Jack was less than impressed with their choices and attempted to organise the whole thing himself with only days left. With Charlie having broken Frankie’s favourite limited edition Cher record, of which only 50 were ever made, Jack declared that he was off to track down one of the other 49. Cue CherLover73 coming to the rescue and charging £2000 for the collectible.  Jack, along with Darren, headed off to a deserted yard to collect the record, only to find a very angry dog and no sign of the seller. With no obvious means of escape, Darren and Jack were forced to spend the night in the car.

The day of Frankie’s funeral dawned and back at the Osborne house, Jack and Darren’s absence was starting to cause concern. Esther in particular took the news badly. With Jake and Debbie having missed their flight (what bad luck!) and Craig in Singapore with John Paul, what would Frankie think of Jack and Darren missing the funeral too? Nancy was adamant that they should postpone, but Esther was having none of it and so the remaining Osborne’s, along with Ruby, who returned, headed to the church. As Charlie and Oscar finished their speech, Jack and Darren arrived, having managed to get the record after all. The guests then headed to The Dog for the wake, where all hell broke loose! Ruby’s ‘perfect’ life was revealed to not be so perfect after all and she threw herself at Luke, Jack disappeared again and Myra got caught sneaking the contents of the Buffett into her handbag...

Meanwhile, Luke was keen to prove to Mandy that he’d changed but Milo, fearing that Mandy was starting to warm to Luke again, soon put a stop to any hopes of a reunion with the help of a dodgy breathalyser. Believing Luke to have fallen off the wagon, Mandy was devastated and headed off to visit Ella alone. Realising that his actions had hurt Mandy, Milo had a change of heart and, with Luke in tow, raced off to find her. Mandy was relived when Milo revealed that the breathalyser was faulty and allowed Luke to join her and Ella as they spent the day in Chester. The trio’s day out was a success and once Ella had gone back to her foster parents, Mandy went off to get ice creams for her and Luke (bit harsh, if you ask me, waiting until Ella had gone!) but when she returned, she found Luke gone. Unbeknownst to Mandy, Luke had seen Mark Gibbs, the man who raped him 17 years ago, and done a runner. Back in the village, Luke was devastated to discover via social media how well Mark’s life was going and so used a fake name and a photo of Nancy to befriend him, with the intention of meeting up...

Elsewhere, Scott returned home from hospital and Brody, Damon and Diane were delighted to see him. As the group gathered at The Dog, they were interrupted by Maggie, who was apparently keen to make amends with Scott. Scott was delighted by his Mother’s supposed u-turn and gave her a bracelet he’d made in art therapy. After Maggie had left, Brody realised that she’d left her purse behind and as he chased after her, saw her put Scott’s bracelet in the bin. After being confronted, Maggie revealed that she had just wanted to get back in Damon’s good books and had no intention of getting to know Scott properly. Brody felt he had no option but to tell Damon and Scott was upset when he overheard the pair talking. We would see Maggie again later when Joel and Sienna bumped into her on the oncology ward, preparing to undergo chemo...

Also this week, the search for baby Daniel continued as Leela and Louis took part in a press conference. Later, as she walked through the village, Leela heard the sound of a baby crying coming from Sienna’s flat and realised that it was Daniel. Racing up there, he suspicions were confirmed and she berated herself for not realising sooner that the local child snatcher was responsible. Leela soon began to feel sorry for Sienna as the true extent of her troubles became apparent and she agreed not to report Sienna. Unfortunately, Louis had other ideas and arrived at the flat with Ry Ry in tow. Luckily for Sienna, Leela was able to talk Ry Ry into merely cautioning Sienna over her latest kidnapping.

Finally, Mac got himself into a right pickle this week when Jack caught him examining the burn he’d obtained in the school explosion. Realising that Jack was on to him, Mac attacked him and we got to witness him becoming increasingly frustrated as one by one, members of his family kept wandering in as Jack lay unconscious behind the sofa. Mac’s plan to move Jack had to be put on hold when Marnie phoned to inform him and Ellie that she and Alfie were on their way to hospital as Alfie had found another lump. There was relief all round when the lump turned out to just be a cyst and Mac was able to return home and move Jack, but, as we would later discover, Mac’s not very good at this murdering lark as Jack’s not actually dead...

5 Things We Learnt This Week:

1. Mandy has many strange little foibles. Like eating a burger separate from its bun. 

2. An umbrella makes an excellent weapon to frighten away intruders. 

3. For someone who supposedly runs a bar, Ruby’s pint pulling skills are severely lacking. 

4. You can always rely on Tom to brighten up a eulogy. 

5. After John Paul received a phone call from Craig in his final episode back in March, we finally found out that they’re together again!

Alfie, Brody, Charlie, Cindy, Damon, Daniel, Darren, Diane, Ella, Ellie, Esther, Hunter, Jack, Joel, Leela, Lisa, Louis, Luke, Mac, Maggie, Mandy, Mark, Marnie, Myra, Milo, Nancy, Oscar, Ryan, Sally, Scott, Sebastian, Sienna, Simone, Tony, Tom and Zack.

Fic: Cooties

Title:  Cooties Rating: PG Word Count: 575 Character(s)/Pairing(s): Senna Martinez/Kaleb Auchenleck, Jake Highwind/Lark Martinez, Brianna Valentine, Aurora Martinez, Justin Takarai Summary:  Senna tries to prove to Kaleb and Jake that girls don't have cooties. Note: From the old LJ community.

“Senna! Kaleb’s being mean again!” Senna Martinez sighed as she looked over at her friend Brianna Valentine and Bri’s nephew Kaleb Auchenleck, who was, in fact, only a couple of hours younger than his aunt. Bri looked about to cry, sniffling as she looked at her nephew. “Kaleb’s a brat,” Senna told her dismissively. “Am not!” Kaleb pouted as he looked at the older girl. Bri sniffled again. “You keep saying girls are icky! I thought we were friends.” “We are!” Kaleb insisted. “But girls have cooties.” “Do not!” Senna rolled her eyes at the exchange. “Do too!” Kaleb shot back. “Jake says so!” “Jake is dumb,” Senna told him, folding her arms across her chest. The five year-old blonde scowled at her. “I heard that!” Senna barely glanced at Jake. “Good.” Kaleb never missed a beat. “Jake says is you kiss a girl, your lips will fall off. Right?” Jake nodded. “Damn straight.” Senna sighed. “Jake’s never kissed a girl. How would he know?” “I ain’t never gonna kiss one either,” the Highwind boy insisted. Senna frowned at him. “Your mom’s a girl and your dad kisses her.” “She’s not a girl. She’s a mom.” “Same thing!” Jake stuck his tongue out defiantly. “Fine then! Kiss me an’ prove me wrong.” Senna’s younger sister, Lark, shoved Jake rather hard. “Who would wanna kiss you?” “Fine,” Jake sighed. “Kiss Kaleb, then.” Brianna blinked at him. “Who are you talking to, stupid?” Jake pointed one small finger at Senna. “Little Miss ‘Your Mom’s a Girl’ here.” Senna shook her head. “I don’t wanna kiss Kaleb.” “See?” Jake looked rather triumphant. “She don’ wanna kiss you ‘cause she knows she’s got cooties an’ she’ll give ‘em to ya and yer lips’ll fall off an’ prove me right!” “Nu-uh!” “Then prove it.” Lark glared. “Jake, stop being a brat.” Senna sighed. “Fine! I’ll kiss Kaleb if you will shut up about cooties!” Senna hesitated, looking at the younger boy. She didn’t want to kiss Kaleb, but she wanted to get Jake to shut up and this seemed to be the only way, so she took a deep breath and leaned forward, kissing Kaleb quickly, watching the boy’s face burn bright red. “Well?” Jake asked expectantly. “How do your lips feel?” Lark rolled her eyes. Were all boys that dumb? Kaleb shrugged slightly, eyes on his shoes. “Okay.” “Told you girls don’t have cooties!” Lark yelled, reaching out and punching Jake’s shoulder. Jake rubbed his shoulder. “Damn, woman, stop punchin’ me!” For such a young kid, he had a rather foul mouth. “Make me!” She punched him again. Senna could almost see the wheels turning in Jake’s messed up little head before he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Lark’s. Lark stumbled backwards, eyes wide while Jake snickered. “Worked better than I thought.” Bri cleared her throat. “Um….Jake?” “What?” “You better run.” “Huh?” Jake looked back over at Lark and whatever was in her eyes must have told him she was pissed, because he dropped his bag, mumbling ‘shit’ and took off running, Lark hot on his trail before she pounced on him, dragging him to the floor and wailing on him. From the side of the courtyard Rory Martinez watched her twin sister beating on Jake. “Why’s Lark beating Jake?” Rory shrugged as she turned to look at her best friend Justin. “He kissed her.” “Oh.” Justin sat with her, watching the beating. That had explained everything.
