MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN YOU THE NAME OF DOKJA!!!!!!!! IT HAS BOTH SAVED AND DAMNED YOU!!!!!!!!! KIM DOKJA YOU FUCKER!!!!!!!!

just any section of the novel where all the companions are reflecting on kdj is so fucking tragic ToT. Lee jihye,,,,holding the coin and knowing it exists bt being unable to open her hand,,,,,how so many of them do not want to go back to the scenarios and the hellish world they fought out of, but will go anyway,,,,,,bc even though this is the kdj that saved them in the scenarios, and they want to stay with him soso bad, they still want to save the rest of him, who he was and his story from before the scenario, from before he was the dkos. Because his beginning was probaby much less grandiose!! and they still want to save him!! the one who read twsa!!! and was a child!! and a person!!! someone so dear to them but so unkown!!!! bc how can you love someone you don't know much ab but what would kdj have done???? if it was one of them???????

also i do think it's funny how with louis everyone behind the scenes is very trauma informed "memory is a monster," "everyone has their own truth," "how do we reconcile the imperfections and unreliability of our own memories with the way our sense of self relies on them." and then armand writes his little friendfiction and bts it's all "the question is how much he is making up to make himself look better. because he is a liar. and a manipulator." kisses for armand dungeon freak kidnapping stalkers need love too!

years ago a cleric said to a tiefling "don't touch me!" And it spawned a long frienemyship. Now years later. The phrase is repeated....but between fwbuddies instead

S7's The Void is vaguely reminiscent of s5's Night, but they show Janeway in a much better mental state, and how much she has learned to ease up on the distance she maintains from her crew as captain.

The openings of the two episodes have a much different tone. In Night, there's a distinct lack of Janeway. She's MIA, and crew is anxious and antsy because of their situation and missing leader. In The Void, they open on a scene of the senior staff enjoying their time together. They're laughing and sharing a meal, teasing each other like a family. Then they're thrust into the anomaly. Both instances of "the void" lack stars, both are potentially long-term situations without a clear means of escape besides getting through it. Night has a tone of uneasy calm, but there are other ships and adversaries in The Void, adding an element of urgency.

When we finally see Janeway in Night, she is kicking herself for her decision making:

CHAKOTAY: We were faced with a difficult choice. We had the means to get home but using it would've put an innocent people at risk, so we decided to stay. JANEWAY: No. No, no. I decided to stay. I made that choice for everyone. CHAKOTAY: We're alive and well, and we've gathered enough data about this quadrant to keep Starfleet scientists busy for decades. Our mission's been a success. JANEWAY: The very same words I've been telling myself for the past four years. But then we hit this Void, and I started to realise how empty those words sound. CHAKOTAY: Kathryn. JANEWAY: I made an error in judgment, Chakotay. It was short-sighted and it was selfish, and now all of us are paying for my mistake.

In The Void, Janeway and Chakotay have a similar conversation, but she accepts her error and her support network with less resistance and less self flagellation. With the urgency of the other attacking ships, there is less mental space to become concerned with mistakes, but her dialogue shoes that it is still a thought that is ever present in her mind.

JANEWAY: Impulsive and self-righteous? Is that what you think? CHAKOTAY: You did what you had to do. JANEWAY: Still, I made a mistake. ... JANEWAY: Maybe not. But if I'd listened to my doubts in the first place, we wouldn't have lost the other two ships. ... CHAKOTAY: B'Elanna and the other engineers are working around the clock to build one. She thinks they'll be ready to test in a couple of days. JANEWAY: So everyone's pulling together to make up for my mistake. CHAKOTAY: They have to. It says so in the Federation Charter.

Granted, it helps that she has some rules to point to for accepting Chakotay's insistence that they're in it together, but the situation in The Void very well could have had her fall back into old patterns we saw in Night. One of the reasons she fights so hard to create and alliance and get the ship and crew out of their situation and back into normal space is because there is an "echo of the void." This time, she isn't as inwardly focused. She is listening to her crew, even when they're being critical. You can see the impulse towards blaming herself for the whole situation, but she's pulled out of her pattern of thinking much easier this time.

Ch. 66 | II. The Three-Stone Bow 三石弓 (35):

Lü Bu stood there in the dim-lit night, and when he looked back at her his expression was filled with a gravity that she’d never before seen in him. “Since you care dearly for your friends and neighbors, then remember this well—no matter what gods or ghosts come to attack the city, you cannot retreat, you cannot lose, and you cannot die!”

Ch. 73 | II. The Three-Stone Bow 三石弓 (42):

After the battle, the name of this “Lightning Sword,” along with their thunderous swordsmanship and the words they had spoken, began to spread from Guanzhong far and wide throughout the lands under heaven. “I will not retreat, I will not lose,” she said, “and I will not die.”

binah ?

LITERALLY the entire reason i got into lobcorp other than Angela's General Existence. she was i think the first character i (consciously) saw of the series and well um uh well i um well. points at flags in icon.

genuinely though she is a type of character i adore to DEATH. the way she just so brazenly talks in circles through lobcorp is so So funny. she can do whatever she wants forever.

i dont think i could speak for her narratively like other people could, but just... man. Man. what a character. her attitude towards the whole SoL thing is so fascinating. i respect it so much. once again, she can do whatever she wants forever.

all of how i think of her (lc-wise) is just God Why Are You Like That. Go Kill Girl. i havent retained enough about her to write anything in depth for her here but god. MAN. girl you are Not getting me to argue against her, she could do Anything and i would cheer for her. you understand.

ruina-era though, she fucking. destroys me. i say it so much but GOD. her immediately siding with angela the Instant she's able to, i cant dig into this as much as i want to, as much as someone else could, but i think about it and. auhghg. head in hands.

the transition in her general air and attitude between parts, from this almost exhausted, jaded, kind of bitterly resigned outlook to just... simply watching, to see what might come of something like this. that curiosity has always been one of my favorite parts of her.

and then, further past that, her interactions with roland; prodding through his facade enough to pull out the bits of him he'd kept guarded, speaking vaguely yet purposefully enough to cut Straight through his bullshit-- yet doing so in such a way that draws out Meaning, not necessarily Taunting him. she reads this motherfucker like a book and it is SO funny. its a dynamic i need to toss around way more than i do; i was Not expecting those two to mesh in that way but MAN. HUH...

also i think she is very pretty and nice and cool :) yay

[bethanysmiled]

hope you're doing well <3
