The chromosomes, the colour bodies that build towards the cells of these walking bodies, have a god in them that doesn't care a damn for the howls of our brains.

Dylan Thomas, The Love Letters of Dylan Thomas; Pamela Hansford Johnson, 9th May 1934

you want empathy? see a therapist. i fix bodies, not feelings.

"My, does the woman costumed in a halo and Angel-wings bare her teeth? How charmingly intimidating, Dr. Ziegler."

Moira prioritizes intelligence for those she'll consider as her "equals" or people she deems worth her time and energy investments. She's one of those academics who will snub you if she deems you of being incapable of being able to keep up.

#conjecture;#i don't think this has to be said because tbh i feel as though this pours out of her in her general demeanor #i should probably just include this in her bio but i don't remember what i put in there because. i'm never on here #i wanted to make a meta but i don't care to make a full organized post about it but #i went out to dinner the other night and in the general yapping i brought up the lack of social skills and the general pompous airs #of academics and people who've made it into their field by just putting all their priority in studying and not developing #general socialization skills because of that --#i don't believe moira lacks social convention however i just think she doesn't care for people she deems beneath her #i think intelligence is one of those things that she uses to separate herself from the 'masses' and it's an idea of 'power'#some people use this to avoid having to really Talk to people or learn to connect w them - to avoid risking ridicule or rejection #and i do think these are elements that would have kept her from being 'bullied' as a child for all the things she possesses that would've #traditionally invited that behavior. You don't get bullied when you exude an air of intensity/intimidation and condescend on others for #their lack of culture and intelligence. I think if you tried - she would have torn you down verbally or simply outlined your demise #re: the way she dismisses and threatens reinhardt's threats about how he ought to tear her down for what she's done #and it all falls back to this idea of Respect and Power being tied to this #i also think girl was also highkey that one story of oppenheimer when he fucking injected poison into an apple for his lab prof being a dic #there was a story in the earlier seasons of housemd where he describes a story about a man who was at the bottom rung of society--#an “untouchable” and was a janitor -- but he was the only one who know how to fix this kid that was dying and everything #became obsolete because saving this kid's life was the only thing that mattered and so they had to listen to him despite #anyway because of her relationship w the idea of intelligence i do think she genuinely respects siebren and his brilliance and #finds his shattered mind truly unfortunate and i do think she's genuine when she sneers at sombra abt wanting to 'help [her] little friend'#idk how much i've already written of this before because this blog is a mess but ik at some pt i did want to write something #about her relationship w 'intelligence' as stupid as that sounds

@chronal-anomaly says: "that's a human life, it matters."

Such is the drivel one nurses and bleeds from an easily-bruised heart. Poise flattens her spine, laying out each vertebrae to her full one meter ninety-five height. "I fear what this means for your line of work in the military, Oxton," Moira's smile is stitched with a terse needle and thread, deliberate in the way it sharpens as she adds dryly, pointedly, "Or for your cohorts."

She clocks a dismissive half turn and rolls her wrist. The movement travels up a flourish into her fingers. Idly, she observes her nails and the way the flourescents notch a gleam along the keratin. "One cannot deny that life is a resource. Such things are quite limited in the world." She casts her eyes to where she'd left Oxton, to the side and floor-bound, as is granted by their height difference, and sneers, "One must be cautious of the costs when enacting such trades."
