Yo OB style, any luck identifying Delphine's dress/tunic that she wore to Felix's show?? I asked Darci (from wardrobe) but she's so rarely online these days and I'm dying to buy it (for someone). Thank you!!

It hasn’t been found yet but I’ll look around!

@geekspiralling no, we haven’t seen mud in stills of the next episodes, but her name is in the cast list for the finale, so i have no idea what’s gonna happen to her on 505 :/

i just wanna say at this exact day and minute that i’m grateful for @geekspiralling and her peeps. y’all are insane same tho and we definitely don’t agree on much, but we know how to be rational and actually talk to each other.

*high tens*

The horny worshipers are saying Évelyne is gay now. Please make them stop.

yeah so, it’s actually only a specific few “cophine” shippers who are pulling that assumption shit. i put cophine in quotes because anyone as rude and hateful as those specific “fans” don’t deserve to even be associated with cophine. 

i’ve been talking with @geekspiralling just recently and it’s absolutely crazy how a few bad apples make the whole fandom sour. 

i do agree that assuming ANYONE’S sexuality needs to stop though. like, who evelyne is attracted to is a part of her own private life and should be respected. it’s not something to spectate like a sporting event. it’s not something scream about proudly on social media. i was outed by a couple of “friends” back in 8th grade before i even really realized i was gay and i felt so fucking awful when that shit spread around my school. i realize that this is obviously not the same circumstance, but the whole talking about someone’s sexuality like it’s OBVIOUSLY their sexuality before the actual /person/ has a chance to come forward and speak for themselves is so so shitty. don’t do that guys. i don’t want to see anyone doing that.

unfortunately i can’t make them stop, because, honestly, trying to reason with these specific fans? it’s basically just not possible. if we all like, collectively ignore them? maybe they’ll go away. or something. we can only hope XP

I live for your Delphine characterization. Fuck canon. You’ve created something so good it doesn’t matter. It’s its own beautiful entity.

I had an honest moment of questioning the choices I’ve made. I’m a fanfic writer. In my brand of fanfic I derive pride in being able to extrapolate from characterization from canon. I looked at 5x05 Delphine and asked myself if she and AU Delphine are essentially/fundamentally the same person and the answer I arrived at wasn’t definitive for me and suddenly I felt like I didn’t know the character I was writing.

AU Delphine–really, most versions of Delphine I write but especially AU Delphine–talks *so much* and I watched a woman on the screen have to acknowledge tries to run as fast and as far away from the possibility of talking as possible. I know it sounds silly, but I felt kinda lost in my justifications of the choices I made.

I knew in approaching the AU that I wanted to craft the relationship between Shay and Delphine in answer to all the things I wanted for Cosima and Delphine in canon but I wanted that to be an organic difference that would develop not because of personality changes but because of circumstantial changes. But now I’m not sure if maybe what’s occurred is wholesale personality deviation and that suddenly made me uneasy.

:(
