Star Trek: Voyager Warhead

This moment shapes how I interpret where they will go in season 3. In the book, Rhaenyra relies increasingly on Mysaria as her advisor as the war continues. Including during some of the darkest chapters of her reign. I can see the seeds of that here - Rhaenyra committing to a path of taking and holding power by any means necessary and Mysaria supporting her in that, believing that it is justified by the kind of queen Rhaenyra will be (and their apparently now shared belief that the gods have chosen Rhaenyra - very significant that they're on the same page religiously in that, or that Mysaria is choosing to say that she shares that view. With Dae/mon's visions and commitment to Rhaenyra as the ruling queen, that makes three people on this "team" who are all in on mystical fanaticism).

I think it's important that, despite Rhaenyra and Dae/mon's reunion in a prior scene, it is Mysaria who Rhaenyra shares her doubts and moral discomfort with. It is her opinion alone that has that weight. This is due, I believe, both to Mysaria's own history as a low born woman who has suffered due to that, her advocacy for the smallfolk, her support and loyal validation of Rhaenyra, and the long-term fractures of trust in his judgment Rhaenyra had with D/aemon over young Jaehaerys' murder and their prior disagreements over who will "rule" in that relationship.

Rhaenyra is Rhaenyra - she has always craved love and will not deny herself any connection that sustains and comforts her. But I think that, going forward, the "lady wife" role Mysaria can play to her [a role that, as I've argued before in this meta, Rhaenyra seems to crave in her life and has since her youthful bond with Alicent] will be vital to shoring her up, intellectually and emotionally, and that Mysaria's strategic thinking will be important to her as well.

Their bond will be an essential one for Rhaenyra going forward, imo, based on s2 and the book info. I hope the studio is brave enough to let the queerness of that bond be clear as the story continues.

Everyone's making excuses for why Dom didn't jump in to help his girlfriend or teammates against the Terror Twins, talking about "wHat WaS hE sUPpoSsED tO Do?"

Um, I don't know, literally anything except just standing there watching, maybe?

I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.

Have some stills I drew today for the new intro 🫣

I decided to go for a completely different vibe with this one since I noticed my pink and purple intros have a similar layout. Just gotta animate this and we’re basically good to go!! Weeee :D

i had a dream that the next judgement game was going to take place in sotenbori and that mainline characters, saejima most prominently, were going to be relevant to the plot so if/when the next judgement is announced, if it takes place in sotenbori and saejima is there, you’ll know who to thank

[ TOUCH ]  for sender to trace one of receiver’s scars (genji for haru bc i'm always a sucker for this vibe)

scars

she was frozen.

as she felt his fingers brush across the scar up her cheek, she was — off her guard. her normal instinct would be to jerk back, to flinch or shy away. and, in this vein, her brain was throwing up the red flags it often did. yet — she didn't move. a freeze response had overtaken her usual flighty one, her body tensed in... fear? shame? something else? automated cat ears flick back a little in trepidation, the shock showing in her eyes for a moment before she quickly averted her gaze. it wasn't as if haru was unused to being asked about it, a scar so large and visible tended to bring out the question eventually, but —

— but she rarely ever gave the whole story.

she always told anyone who asked that it had been a training accident, a harsh lesson while learning to fight. so seldom did she ever share the reality of it, because what good would it do? she worried about being pitied, and about the perception others would form of the person who'd given it to her. she told so few because she didn't want them to know — because she didn't want to be known. and yet here she sat, stunned, feeling like... she couldn't dodge around the truth this time. it felt almost like it was being dragged out of her somehow, her heart and brain battling it out on what to say — just how much to share.

her gaze was still low as she came back to herself, the mind briefly winning out as she finally pulled away from their touch. she fixed her gaze on her burned hands, trying to quickly rebuild the parts of her wall that had been chipped away. to her chagrin, there is a visible confusion about her features as she attempts a weak smile.

"ah, um — i've had it since — since i was younger."

she's kicking herself, stumbling like this. while the two of them had gone on to become close friends, haru was still held at a good arm's length — by her own doing. this is how she'd always done things, the only people really allowed beyond her mental walls being her family, and xiao. it was easier that way. it was safer that way. but — she trusted genji. she could admit that much, even if her mind didn't like it. and so, her heart stepping forward despite her brain's heavy desire to run, she continued to speak.

"i was — a much angrier person then." 《 STOP TALKING 》 "i, um, didn't used to get along with xiao, uh, the way i — the way i do now."

she's subconsciously picking at her cuticles, battling on how best to proceed — if she should even proceed at all. she so rarely revealed xiao's name in this story in an attempt to protect him; he'd worked so hard to come as far as he had, even if others around him may not see it. knowing him as long as she had, and caring for him as she did, part of her didn't want others to think of him as who he had been when he'd done this to her. haru lets out a nervous chuckle, gaze shifting to a spot on the floor as the words continued to tumble clumsily from her mouth.

"when my dad, um, started working for the long family — xiao and i would, ah, we would f-fight a lot." 《 SILENCE 》 "he was, uh... crueler then, let's call it. i — didn't handle it... well. 《 ENOUGH 》

another pause. her heart was racing and her blood felt icy as she continued the struggle on how to go on. haru already felt like she'd said way too much — and her instincts to clam up were beginning to overrule her true feelings. it was numbing, like a blanket severely dulling her emotions as the walls finally finished reforming. she cleared her throat, before putting the best brave face on that she could, eyes finally returning to meet @lctibule's own.

"...but i got him back, and now — and now we're square." she heaved a great breath, continuing to collect herself. another meek smile, though she thought it strong, shows on her face. "you'll have to ask him to show you sometime — if he hasn't already. man can't keep a shirt on even if it would save his life."

WWE creative is so hilarious (derogatory) for putting the LWO on RAW, having them get involved with the Judgment Day, and never once giving us a solid 10-15 minute match between Dragon Lee and Dominik.

Tag drop: Jing Yuan (incomplete, but the rest will be added behind the scenes) (... and a little return of Yelan's aesthetic, for I've missed her desperately)
