#they're such idioits

[theborgqueen2]

thinking about the christening of the protostar, when kathryn and chakotay last saw each other. how it makes clear that kathryn does not want to go back into deep space, that she has had enough of that for a lifetime. "dont let them promote you to admrial, they'll take your ship and put you behind a desk" Kathryn probably went "oh thank god" and took that promotion with hugs and kisses. she says "the only way starfleet is going to get me back out there is as a hologram"

i imagine her hardcore nesting as well, really settling, making room in her life and just waiting for a simple sign chakotay has packed his things and is ready to move in.

only for the notification to pop up on her desk that captain chakotay is assigned the protostar, set on a course back to the delta quadrant.

but thats fine if thats what he wants, its not like they ever actually made plans, that he made her any promises, she just thought he'd go for that antropology position not another deep space assignment, putting him back into harms way...? but it doesnt matter, if thats what makes him happy, then Kathryn will be there and she will be supporting him through it.

meanwhile chakotay gets promoted to captain, something that once upon a lifetime was everything he wanted, what he worked for, before everything happened - his resignation, the maquis, the delta quadrant, kathryn.... but now... the pips at his collar mean nothing. he looks at the course they've plotted, getting them awefully close to dangerous anomalies and borg space and all the threats he thought he left behind. he thought he would settle down once they reached earth, get that teaching position he's dreamed of back when they fought mind-controlling space worms, but kathryn didn't call. she seems so happy with her new life, the new position. He's watched her from a distance, making a home for herself, without him and he'd be lying if he said it didn't hurt but it's fine. It's okay. It's only ever been about her happiness and if that includes everything but him, he'll give her space. he's learned how to do that. He's good at that. in a way she'll be watching over him now, from afar, as admiral. and her captain.

He'll go back to the delta quadrant, where he was with his family, where he was with the woman he loves, where he was truly happy for the first time in his life, had a purpose, a goal. Peace. maybe he'll find it once again.

So when they Kathryn asks "you're really going back out there." she means "why are you leaving again? why won't you stay?" and when chakotay answers "if i run into any trouble, you're the first one I'll call" he means "i don't want to leave you. but i cant stay here"

and when he goes missing, her previous promise of "never going back out there except as a hologram" gets eradicated because if its him, stranded yet again? there is no barrier she won't cross to get him back.

YES it's so tiring hearing RWBY critics that are clearly against the girls. I've heard people justify Adam's ABUSE because 'well Blake hurt his feelings'. Like?? She ran away because he was abusive to her and the White Fang?? They're also the type to be like 'he wasn't abusive before vol 3!' when he literally gaslit Blake in the Black trailer It sucks when there's legit criticisms you can make, like Ruby lying to Ironwood. I thought it's a poor move, but it pains me to hear people talk say things like 'These idioitic GIRLS' or act like it was crime, and characters can't make mistakes. I think since the vol's theme was trust, it makes sense to tell the truth, plus they're hurt by Ozpin's lies. But OZPIN could've spoken up at any point and has lied for hundred of years. So he deserves the same energy these critics don't give :/ the only one they don't seem to idealize is Jaune, but I'm willing to bet it's cause he was comedic relief for so long smh

I think what "upset" me the most about some RWBY "critics" is that if RWBY wouldn't have been girls they wouldn't get criticised as much as they are.

Yesterday a dude was telling me that Yang should had got in legal trouble for what she did on Yellow teaser and I got so confused.

Not only is Junior a criminal but he is a well known one to the point he is an informant and his club serves with the purpose of getting illegal shits, like weapons, information, etc.

Yang knew that. That's the whole point of the scene, this isn't the first time Yang deal with guys like Junior, it's explicitly shown that she's been in clubs like this before, where criminals come and go, just because she wanted information about Raven.

Junior couldn't call the police because that would mean dismantling his entire criminal record and putting in danger other criminals that go to his club and even getting himself in danger to get assassinated from said criminals for bringing up the police.

That's the whole POINT, Yang getting the upper hand since the beginning.

The thing is, if Yang was a dude she would be praise for being smart, morally grey and clever.

Same thing with the whole Adam and Blake debacle, if the roles were reversed they would praise Blake and call Adam crazy.

If Yang was a dude and Blake was still a girl they wouldn't be so upset about bumbleby.

If Ruby was a dude they wouldn't criticise her choice of not trusting Ironwood, they probably would even applaud her.

If they were dudes they would probably would have got a standing ovation because of them calling out Ozpin.

And there's other millions examples, and tbh it's really tiresome.

Okay but this makes so much sense!
