@lotrweek day 2: histories and legacies

But it is not your own Shire," said Gildor. "Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out."

I've never loved anyone as much as I love Ursula Le Guin

This is fully like.....whatever the opposite of imposter syndrome is. And I fucking love it.

You are so filled with grief and anger, but there is a part of you, I know it, there is some small part of your soul that knows that this is wrong, and that part is still alive, and it’s just pushing to get through. Yes. That’s the part that refuses to kill the very people who can stop you. WAREHOUSE 13 “RESET”

Some filming photos I hadn't seen!! My main takeaway from these, other than Ashley Jensen's adorable smile, is that while the article text is wrong about us never having seen Tosh's place before, this is Ruth at Tosh's place?? That seems to be Donnie and Louise in the window behind her in this first photo, so is Ruth going to visit Tosh at home? 😍

Also intrigued by:

"There were a few surprises during filming today, but those will remain closely guarded secrets for now."

this bit in guards! guards!:

Lady Ramkin made herself a cup of cocoa and listened to the rain gurgling in the pipes outside. She slipped off the hated dancing shoes, which even she was prepared to concede were like a pair of pink canoes. But nobbyless obligay, as the funny little sergeant would say, and as the last representative of one of Ankh-Morpork’s oldest families she’d had to go to the victory ball to show willing. Lord Vetinari seldom had balls. There was a popular song about it, in fact. But now it was going to be balls all the way.

lol.

also, i have a headcanon that at some point, vetinari is compelled to organize some kind of ball, but it turns out the facilities at the palace just aren't up to snuff at all. perhaps he's left them in disrepair ever since the Dragon Incident -- really! that long! or just uses it as extra storage space. there's some bits & pieces about him maintaining the Bloody Stupid Johnson garden, and the zoo, and the racehorse stable, just because he's reluctant to change things; & that he keeps leonard around just because he likes hanging onto anything that might be useful later. so i think the palace unfortunately has a bit of an Old Furniture Problem bc vetinari is not in favor of throwing things out. thus -- it ends up in the ballroom. thus -- there is no ballroom, so much as there's a very big, fancy storage room

so, anyway, upon being compelled to arrange a ball for visiting dignitaries, he's got no place to put it. luckily, it turns out sybil, although about as much of a packrat, has managed to maintain a fairly decent ballroom at ramkin manor, it'll be lovely with a bit of fresh paint & some airing out (to get rid of the dragon smell). it's a great idea. the big fancy ball goes great. vimes shows up for about half the night before slinking off, sybil charms everyone to bits, vimes & sybil & vetinari are all sort of in the capacity of being each other's plus-ones...

the only drawback is that, from then on, the popular song aforementioned (upon the topic of vetinari "seldom had balls") has its lyrics updated to state that in fact, the duke & duchess of ankh hold lord vetinari's balls

Star Trek: Voyager 05x20 - "Think Tank"

[darksideofthecoffeebean]

Now I have to think about how Ethan Phillips said that he played Neelix like he was a little in love with Janeway. Add to that that Mulgrew/Janeway has screen chemistry with everyone, it's no wonder that Voyager is so freaking delicious. I just love the crew's interactions. ❤️

[70thousandlightyearsfromhome]

FWIW, Kate Mulgrew has said that she played Janeway as if she were in love with every one of the other regulars.

This is Nelly Mousset-Vos (left) and her life partner Nadine Hwang (right). Nelly was an opera singer, and member of the Belgian resistance during WWII. Nadine was an airforce colonel, diplomat, and amateur photographer.

The two women met and fell in love in Ravensbruck concentration camp during WWII, where Nelly was imprisoned for her resistance work. We don’t know why Nadine was imprisoned, but it is possibly also due to resistance involvement, her sexuality, or her Chinese background.

Nadine and Nelly were separated when Nelly was transferred to Mauthausen concentration camp, but after the war they were reunited, moved to Venezuela, and spent the rest of their lives together.
