Ok without spoiling too much please explain your bell pepper freak. I honestly don't see the bell pepper-ness. But more importantly why is he yours.

Also I hope it pleases you to know that because he's your pfp that's my mental image of you. Assigned Meeklo By Mutual.

Okay firstly on Meeklo Braca’s bell pepper-ness:

I hope these visual aids I have prepared clear some things up, his head is bell pepper shaped and I say it with LOVE. Look at these bell peppers, I could make a delicious meal with them.

As for why he is mine, I just love him. He doesn’t even show up until the end of the first season and by all accounts, he is not a main character but he is in my heart. He’s a little boytoy henchman second in command right hand man freak to Scorpius and is maybe the definition of a ride or die. Their relationship is extremely interesting, especially in the greater framework of the Peacekeepers and their various beliefs on interpersonal relations… I think about Braca a lot anyway. I’m not sure what it is exactly about him that captivates me but my brain just latched onto him and will not let go 🫶

And that pleases me GREATLY!! I love being associated with him so much

^ braca as a bell pepper by yours truly as well

#lmaooo #just recently took a bunch of screencaps of him to use as drawing ref #so I could practice drawing human faces more #I WILL be thinking about this post when I do #farscape

"Didn't evoke an emotional response" skill issue. Some of us found Ode to Spot extremely poignant and sweet Geordi!!

Rewatching TNG, and something I appreciate is how much autonomy people give Data. Like sure, you get your Measure of a Mans and your people projecting assumptions about him not being alive and such, but for the most part the crew really just, treat him like another guy. Data is ostensibly better, faster, etc. at just about any task you could find on a starship, I could easily see people taking advantage of that. Fighting over who gets to use him on what task, “I need him to fix the warp core” “no I need him to catalogue the rock samples” “no I need him to learn everything about an alien culture”.

But he really doesn’t deal with that. He follows the orders he’s given yeah, but he has the freedom to pursue his own interests and make his own choices, and not to be completely reduced to his superior functionality. He is given the freedom to exist on his own terms, and oftentimes ENCOURAGED to advocate for himself and actively resist people taking advantage of him. And I dunno, it’s comforting seeing a character who is so thoroughly other being consistently welcomed and encouraged to be uniquely himself, and loved for those differences.

See: Blake's 7, Red Dwarf, Farscape, Lexx et al.

Is there a name for this trope? I feel there should be a name for this trope. This dynamic needs to make a comeback.

And here's the song because now you want to listen to it

Lexx is a fever dream of a show. The first season is basically four C grade scifi movies but the second season is high art.

i think y'all are missing a trick with Kathryn Janeway and Eleanor of Aquitaine given the Katharine Hepburn/Kate Mulgrew crossovers, but the request was for Janeway with a fuckoff big sword as an Angevin so here we go -- she got stuck in a holodeck program with the rest of the crew and she likes swinging a sword maybe a little too much 🤏

d’argo and lo'laan have a romeo and juliet story, and then d’argo spends over a decade thinking that story ended with him beating her to death in a rage. and the thing about d’argo is that he longs for a gentle life. he comes from a culture that puts so much emphasis on being a warrior and dying for your people and he clings to those ideals in his captivity because it’s all he has to stay sane but what he has always truly longed for is a quiet planet, a quiet life, a quiet family, a quiet love. even as a young man, he was willing to walk away from the luxan life for lolan! he never wanted the violence! if he is angry it is only because there’s so much to be angry about!

when he talks to the nurse in different destinations (you know, the sad nurse time travel episode after zhaan dies), you can see he looks at her and sees lo'laan, and it’s so interesting because he doesn’t do that with any other sebacean nor with chiana (he’s VERY aware chiana is not lolan!) but he looks at a scared healer with a young child who says to him “do you know what the horde does to children?” and he remembers seeing his wife's battered body beaten to death. it’s such an interesting implication for what their marriage was, for who lo'laan was - someone who talked back to the “barbarian” she had married! someone who had not yet unlearned all of those prejudices the peacekeepers instilled in her but someone who walked away from the peacekeepers because she is full of compassion, and anger, for those they step on, who saw that compassion and anger reflected back at her in this "savage" species and felt understood.

and all along he was innocent! all along it was the hatred and bigotry of her brother that tore them apart! lo'laan loved him, and fought to be with him, and died for him and their quiet life, not because of him. it wasn’t d’argo, it was macton’s hate that tears macton’s own family apart, and so macton’s punishment is to relive it over and over, to see his sister’s battered body on the floor and know he’s the one who put her there, and d’argo is innocent and always has been, and d’argo loved lo'laan more selflessly than macton was ever capable of.
