“There’s this whole other world, this whole other life, that she’s led away from Vel. She’s been on other missions and has, presumably, assassinated numerous people. She doesn’t talk about it openly. It’s not like you ever get a number, you just know. Even the way she turns up at the wedding, there’s just an implication of what happens to Tay Kolma. [...] It’s like the Grim Reaper has arrived.”

"The bits that I filled in were the thought process of what goes into someone who's part of the Rebellion, who is so used to being a blunt instrument for the Rebellion, and never not really having to think for herself in terms of what she wants in her future aside from revenge. And what happens when you physically can’t be channeling that rage and that hate, and so you have to sit with it and think about what you want and the vulnerability that comes with that. It forced [Cinta] to find hope, and the hope is that she will be with Vel one day. That’s actually what she’s fighting for."

"There was a lot of filling in the blanks for what might have happened, what the thought process was when she was injured. But there were also a lot of underlying messages she’s trying to get across to Vel in the few words she exchanges. She can’t go into depth."

"Faye and I talked about what it can be like to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know how to show their love in an affectionate way, and what might be holding Cinta back from committing to Vel. She says “the rebellion comes first” [in season 1] and “we take what’s left.” We talked about what has changed in them in that time. In season 2, Vel is quite suspicious of Luthen, or tired of being used by him. Cinta’s coming to that realization, too."

"A lot of our discussions were about attachment theory. Cinta’s a very avoidant person. She’s been through a lot of hurt and a lot of trauma, and it’s probably very difficult for her to attach to someone, especially if she loves them. But what she feels she can attach to is the cause, and that ends up not being enough for her."

Varada Sethu discusses Cinta's motivations, her hopes, and Cinta's dream of a life with Vel. (x)

Ive already made this post 3 times but the cutest thing ever is adding mutuals on instagram and seeing how normal everyone is

Mutuals on tumblr: i NEED to be bisected by an anarchist punk lesbian werewolf TONIGHT or i will kill myself

Same mutuals on instagram: Wow, it was a crazy weekend hiking with my friends 🌄 and then celebrating my little brother's 11th birthday! 7th grade will be wonderful for you little man 🤘

I spend a lot of time insulting B5′s aesthetic/color choices so here I will compliment a visual thing:

I like that G’Kar is associated with red and none of the other characters really have red in their outfits except Londo, who has red on his neck and nowhere else, and that’s the only part of his outfit that never changes

He has to take the scarf and brooch off to let the Keeper in and he has to finally get rid of the red altogether when he becomes emperor, those things happen at the same time as him sending G’Kar away for good

Also like… scenes where G’Kar has power over Londo are usually colored red. The elevator is red once it breaks down, G’Kar’s cell in season four is black until he loses his eye and “sees” Londo properly and then it’s red, Londo is only ever in G’Kar’s (red) quarters once and it’s when he asks G’Kar to sign the joint statement in 415

Also also, the whipping scene in 403 is completely washed blue, which strips any red out

I saw this post a while back and then couldn’t find it again for AGES, but it was so eye-opening about this particular thing that now I think about it whenever I rewatch episodes of the show. As well as the big things - Londo taking off the scarf forever when he accepts the Keeper and severs himself from G'Kar; Londo’s most dramatic moments with G'Kar often being colored red - I’ve also been noticing that the amount of red visible at his neck/throat/heart often suggests where he’s at, emotionally, especially re: G'Kar but also just in general.

Obviously this is not true across the board, especially early in the show; it also depends on what else he’s wearing and the other needs of the episode. But there’s also a general, broadly speaking, pattern that the more red you see on his neck/throat/chest, the more emotionally open he is and the less close to the “dark.” In a lot of season two, for example, he’s very buttoned up and the red is hidden, e.g. in “The Long Twilight Struggle” when he’s at his worst in the council sequence and he’s trying to get G'Kar sent back to Narn to be tried and executed, you can’t really see it at all.

But the later in the series we are, the more visible it often is. And of course you see quite a lot more of it when his coat is off and he’s out of official/ambassadorial mode, as when he’s relaxed and lounging around in his quarters, or hanging out with G'Kar in late season four/season five.

do you ever stop and be amazed at how many friends you’ve made because both of you just want 2 fictional idiots to kiss already?

Fics can be from any fandom and can contain any content as long as they are centered on a f/f ship. Romance does not have to be the point of the story, but there has to be some ship content.

Has anyone heard about this

Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun in every episode of FARSCAPE

What a complex and emotional character arc Aeryn Sun had! Loved her from the start. Still my favorite female scifi character.

Claudia Black is awesome.

i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of ‘what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as ‘the evil ones’ and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it’s a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it’s not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don’t think about it’ and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
