can't sleep so heres my hot take on londo/g'kar: it would be way more interesting if anyone (including jms) 1. really grappled with the utterly fucked power imbalance 2. let them actually hate each other with consequence instead of softening them up into old bickering married couple

#I know the reason fandom is like that is because canon is basically like that. I'm just a hater #but the whole 'two sides of a coin' read on their relationship? I'm sorry that is just. so white #they have a highly racialized dynamic. its literally textual why would you ignore it #the only 'equality' they ever have is in the b5 council... from which londo unilaterally removes g'kar.#I'm just like. vicious hatefuck or get outta here #the s4 sequence of their 'developing friendship' was what really put me off it. in some of those scenes g'kar says nothing. he's a prop.#londo jokes at/around him and g'kar makes a face and that's the scene. then they're just friends?#they go right to chummy bickering and it's so dull #is londo completely psychosexually obsessed with g'kar? yea obviously #make it fucking weird and racial and uncomfortable bc it is #b5
