each of these is a reaction gif

"Mark and Petey were so in love you gotta watch severance for them" I say to all of my friends even though petey hardly got screen time and the entire group of markpetey truthers consists of just me and a few other random tumblr users losing our minds a little bit more each day.

Anyways I love markpetey sooooo much

if you think about it the ending of men in black is essentially straightbait. like they really went "one of our main characters retired to live in heterosexual marriage with a woman. worry not his replacement is the other main character's heterosexual female love interest. they both got their heterosexual happy ending" and then the sequel comes out like "sike! just kidding, both their heterosexual love interests left them offscreen between the two movies and they've been implicitly yearning for each other in the meantime. welp they're partners again but WORRY NOT HETEROSEXUALS!! rosario dawson is here and she is going to make out with will smith we prommyyyy" and then rosario dawson has to go to another planet and never fucking comes back. and then in the third movie they give up on trying to give J a girlfriend and make his entire character motivation to save his partner's life, probably to make out with him. 10/10 movie series btw

I am going to say more about how well Babylon 5 did with introducing a character's Jewishness

Usually when media introduces a Jew, and it isn't a throwaway line, it's about loss. It's about what the Jew doesn't have that everyone else has. Jews don't celebrate Christmas or Easter, we can't eat bacon, it's about what we're missing out on, and how that sets us apart

Babylon 5, on the other hand, makes about what Susan does have, while ironically framing it through loss (her father's death). Susan has a family, a community, a set of traditions and beliefs that influence how she moves through the world, and we are shown these. We see her sit shiva, and we see her commanding officer and close friend come to sit with her, to participate, because he loves her and wants to be one of the good things in her life. Her rabbi (a close family friend) comes all the way out to the ass end of space to help her and be with her. We see random extras that aren't named at the Shiva, but who represent a Jewish community on the station, letting us know that there are Jews about in their world.

She reads the prayers in English to share them with her friends, and by extension, the audience, but later Sinclaire uses a little Hebrew to speak to the rabbi, because he's shown as caring enough to learn. Her struggle isn't with being Jewish, but with her specific interpersonal relationship with her father, and she finds solace in the wisdom of her community.

They are very clear that Judaism is entirely compatible with this future, because in this hopeful future we aren't a perfectly utopian species, but we're actively trying to build communities and foster understanding within and without, and even if it wasn't a fucking amazing show across the board, I would love it just for this.
