i love ur art, but i may like ur commentary More. like when ya lift up a rock and see the pill bugs is the equivalent to opening tumblr and seeing what you've said and i mean that in the kindest and most positive way possible
This might be in the top 3 nicest things anyone has ever said to me I might cry a little
Dodo running up crying to Steven as they agree that he will leave 😭
Goodbye, you hateful lying son of a bitch. I'll miss you with all my heart.
watching T&K leave, knowing they’re both famous enough to tour alone, so they must be choosing to do it together.
all i can think about is the scene in moving parts where trixie says something like “it was never about getting famous enough to do it alone. i preferred surviving with her.”
crying!!!!
hmmm penelope not being regretful in hell hurts a lot worse now huh
voyager s5e17 ‘course: oblivion’
(don’t read if u haven’t watched the episode bc I think it was really good and u would like it)
Everything about this was just so painful. I only just watched it.
The little hints at the start that this is not our crew, namely, Tom never having been demoted and still having his lieutenant rank. (I thought it was a continuity error at first, but now I see it was actually such a clever detail.) Not to mention the sudden wedding.
The crew being so happy in the beginning with Tom and B’ellana.
B’ellana’s death before they could even honeymoon.
The fact that we see Chakotay die, but the next cut just shows even less crew present, without explanation. Tuvok is gone. Tom is gone. It’s not mentioned, we know why they’re not there. Why is that more heartbreaking.
Oh god I just remembered Janeway mentioned an Ensign Harper who just had a baby at the beginning of the episode. sadsadsad
They had this determination that they would not just disappear. They might not make it home, but they would collect their personal logs, their mission logs, their pictures, everything that they had done and everyone they had been, and they would send it out into space to be discovered, or not, but for it to at least exist somewhere out there. So that it wouldn’t be for nothing. (I find it kind of reminiscent of our golden disc, though we weren’t in such dire circumstances)
And the fact that they didn’t even get that. Not even that. Their ‘time capsule’ was destroyed by accident as their ship fell apart and deployment became impossible. That piece of hope was now gone.
At this point I thought... well, that’s it. They’ve got to get out of this. They couldn’t have their time capsule destroyed only to not survive this. Surely their memories died, only for them to live.
And then they see our voyager! And I think yes yes yes! I was right! They can do this, they’ve done it, they’ve found them! And they make one final push towards this hope, one final try. We cut to our voyager and we see they received the distress signal and are on their way. They can do this! They are doing it, surely they’ve done it! We saw them, we saw harry and seven, giving it everything they had.
And then voyager reaches the coordinates.
And the only thing left of them is debris.
Janeway makes a note in her log that they received a distress signal from an unknown vessel that was destroyed before they arrived. And we know that that footnote is the only thing left of that crew’s existence.
Resigned to oblivion, as the title suggested. The story had this way of surprising me with the obvious. Their fate was sealed in the episode’s title, but it’s almost as if I were in denial about it. Maybe that was purposeful. Maybe not.
This was an episode so heavy with grief, so completely and unbearably forged from it. The writers leaned into the catharsis of tragedy so effectively, and the feelings this story invoked in me will stay with me for a long, long time. Thanks for reading my ramble.
People are too mean actually, the world is too big and full of too much cruelty and I am going to hit a politician over the head with a shovel
