"Extreme Risk" (S05E03, Stardate UNKNOWN) is a decent character exploration for B'Elanna as she deals with the loss of one family. But it does a disservice to her character growth and pretends she has not already adopted Voyager as her new family along the way. Her pain is real, but there are issues.

Maquis Outfit
Text:
I hate this orange-green color combo but this man rocked up to his pon farr holodeck in a green-purple flower grid clashing patterns robe combo so it's in character
I usually associate Tuvok with jewel tones and cooler colors so it's interesting that his Maquis outfit doesn't have any of that
Also I know this is probably just them still deciding on Tuvok's look but in 'Caretaker' he has much heavier eye makeup and I'd like to imagine it was part of his disguise.
That's his Maquis Look(tm).

"Resurgence"
In the wake of the Dominion War, with the Federation spearheading the rebuilding of Cardassia, a resurgence of former Maquis and ex-Starfleet officers seek to destabilize the Union for their sins of the past across their weakened frontiers.

Yesterday's posts made me think of this song that I love. It's also a song inspired by the maquis (guerrilla fighters against Franco's dictatorship), or so I have always interpreted.
I si demà no tornara ("If I don't come back tomorrow") by the Valencian band Obrint Pas.
Here's the lyrics in Valencian-Catalan and the translation to English:
La por em desvetla
a les nits sense dormir
i sent el vell revòlver
que descansa sobre el pit
en aquest bosc humit
els silenci és l’enemic
a trenc d’alba partim
seguint les llums del matí
Fear keeps me up
on sleepless nights
and I feel the old revolver
that rests on my chest.
In this humid forest
silence is the enemy.
At the break of dawn we leave
following the morning lights.
Travessem l’aurora
entre els cingles del massís
en aquestes muntanyes
sobreviure és resistir
hem canviat mil cops de nom
però tots sabem qui som
guerrillers supervivents
combatents de l’últim front
We cross the sunrise
among the mountain range's cliffs.
In these mountains,
to survive is to resist.
We have changed our names a thousand times
but we all know who we are:
surviving guerrilla fighters,
combatants of the last front.
Unes flames roges
cremem el nostre horitzó
la casa on dormirem
és un esquelet de foc
han matat el masover
ens solia refugiar
anit em va somriure
quan ens vam acomiadar
Red flames
burn in our horizon:
the house where we slept
is a skeleton of fire.
They have killed the sharecropper,
he used to take us in,
last night he smiled at me
when we said goodbye.
La lluna ens recorda
que som com estels errants
ombres d’una guerra
perduda en sendes de fang
i quan la foscor em venç
acaricie en soledat
un record en blanc i negre
el motiu del meu combat
The moon reminds me
that we're like shooting stars,
shadows of a war
lost in muddy paths
and when darkness beats me
I caress in solitude
a memory in black and white,
the reason for my fight.
I si demà no tornara
al lloc on et vaig deixar
vull que recordes que un dia
joves com nosaltres vam marxar a lluitar
armats d’amor i coratge
i un clavell roig amagat
combatrem fins l’últim dia
sota bandera de la llibertat
And if tomorrow I don't come back
to the place where I left you
I want you to remember that one day
young people like us left to go fight
armed with love and courage
and a hidden red carnation
we'll fight until the last day
under the flag of freedom.
(Repeat lyrics)
The voices towards the end of the song, before the last chorus, are reading the names and ages of some of the antifascist fighters who were executed by Franco's dictatorship. Some of the voices overlap so I'm not 100% sure of all, but this is what I hear:
Àgueda Campos Barrachina, 29 years old.
Isabel Sáenz González, 24 years old
Agustí Jofre Capelinos, 50 years old
Emilio (?), 16 years old
(?), 29 years old
(?)
(?), 34 years old
Emilio Caballero, 29 years old
(?) Cabrera, 57 years old
Vicenta Pont(?) Ferrer, 30 years old.

The babes are back! This week we have Lt. B’Elanna Torres because I’m watching Voyager again. I somehow managed to go a whole watch through without noticing the Maquis crew keeps their Maquis rank pins, so I almost gave her Starfleet pips, but I caught it right before posting so crisis averted.

My OC Maqui. They are a güiña/kodkod cat-shaped spirit of nature that takes care of the Vicente Pérez Rosales national park area. They have plant powers and can shapeshift into other forms.
They are from Nature's Cry, but I also use them as a RP character :3

🚂 Locomotive in a High Fantasy Setting 🧝♂️
Had an idea of how a locomotive would play in a fantasy rpg or something, so I created a little thingy who works hard in mines and has this raw, strong looking technology brought by magic and steam power combined in old fashion elements
His funnel didn't fit the A5 paper but he has a funnel similar to Rocket's, very tall with a metal crown on top
