Horizons bleed temptation

our tomorrow left unknown

Sun parceled out in patience

we chase like a dog to bone

Her light too bright to measure,

vivacity trails her years

she wears like peacock feathers.

Untouched by Time's Cruel gears.

Chained out of reach, adaptive

that stoic line is witness

to aging days, held captive,

like us by the same sickness

The burnt edge is outlying

none can stand on it for sure -

Who can hold wind, hands prying,

when fleeing is its allure?

Promising tomorrow's worth

Charitably without me;

I fear no what ifs on Earth,

but staunch of horizon's bleed.

Would they be friends or hate each other? Gang vs gang? As someone knows multiple people who kin both, I'm genuinely asking 😅 what do you really think would happen if these two characters met? Because I personally get a lot of IDGAF aura going back and forth basically "youre fucked up and gross you should fix yourself" but ultimately just chilling??

You can blame Nicole's behavior on her being young and saying thats different from Yani being a full grown adult, but i think, and we'll have to wait until the series finishes or further develops, but i think the origins are going to be similar in terms of losing a loved one or repeatedly experiencing trauma as a way to explain the WHY of certain addictions

I think in Class of 09 terms, Yani would be most like Kelly, someone so seemingly simple-minded and easy-going and, if you dont catch the times shes TRULY crashing out from nic withdrawal, Yani seems like she gets mostly what she wants most of the time as how she told Yakuneko so smoothly how shes not stressed over job-hopping. Fits mostly with Kelly's seemingly lack of problems since mostly she just seems to be "dumb" and hit and rich but otherwise well-off materially and mentally (not gonna deep dive but ill acknowledge the possible inner issues of hot cousins and suppressed lesbianism from Re:Up)

In chainsmoker Cat terms, Nicole would be most likely Yani really, will do whatever she needs to do to get hers in the end. Particularly the anime scene of Yani and Satori in the park doing THAT stuff made me think "damn this feels like a comedy-centric exaggerated satire of Nicole's homeless route" and just overall the presentation of nonchalance when it comes to their lack of good health physically and mentally and emotionally but still managing to leverage their appearances and connections, including their friends, to not only survive the bare minimum of their daily discriminated life (as presented explicitly in their respective medias) but also still maintain a baseline of their addictions.

Alas the lass is slow as molasses

Try all she will she cannot pass this

Army of glasses sitting

side by side

Soiled with the salty taste of seafoam slipped

from the water

by the sandy shores

She’s so sure only she sees, somewhere

In those shimmering cyan eyes that make jealous

Skies cry

with tainted tears of bittersweetness

Seeing one so small sincere and simple be

So springy, sensitive and seeking of life

That has no pulse

A recently diagnosed cancer patient kidnaps an out of style actress to act as a kind of last witness to confession that is their life and their deeply rooted issues, emotionally/mentally torturing the actress by demanding she physically brutalize them both as an act of contrition and as hedonsitic sadomasochism, knowing objectively the torturer herself does not want to do all this trauma bonding. Itd be a look at how the ex-celebrity neglected the good influence she could have had on the world and recognizing how fame has changed her for the worse over her lifetime, while also challenging her captor to consider that, even IF they accepted cancer as a non-negotiable death sentence , there are still ways to enjoy and leave behind good consequences of the life chosen to be lived.

1. Janeway - the whole reason I started watching the show, truly Kate Mugrew has earned her legacy in pop culture as this beloved icon, reputation does not proceed her, also shes the hottest imo

2. Doctor - totally took me by surprise, didnt expect to be so invested in his character development and what came out of it was a dude I'd easily trust with my life but whom also I'd gladly get a beer with and ramble philosophically about the arts and humanities, might crusbign hard on him ngl

3. Tuvok - consistently impressive acting from Tim Russ, so much humor and emotional impact from a monotonously framed character, always found his stories the most interesting besides the Doctor's because of how he operates alone, he usually says little compared to everyone else so hearing his thoughts process more when hes explaining them to someone or rare moments where he talks to himself, always a charm to see, also hottake but almost immediately I shipped J/T and was way more invested in their moments of deep friendship than anything J/C kept forcing XD

4. Harry - adorably endearing, very down to earth and earnest, the goodest boy and I like that i wouldnt call him vanilla in a boring way like id initially thought of him, hes got the tom paris influence but hes not as arrogant about to me, also that fear kills you in your sleep episode was such a great character study for him but also kinda crazy it got that dark

5. B'elenna - Love watching her on away missions, her banter with other characters always makes me smile, shes confrontational but more smart ass about it than violently agressive, wish she and janeway had more friendship development because the sass would have been sooo much fun

6. Neelix - i actually really like Neelix, hes not nearly as annoying to me compared to other sictom comic relief characters, hes actually oretty useful and smart a lot of the time, or not most of his ideas, even the jokey ones, are fully without merit or at least theyre all sincere, his loyalty for and admiration of voyager is so sweet to me, was fully expecting him to be the first big villain of the series in the pilot, was not expecting to him last as long as he did. I Agree that him and Kes were a weak couple and im happy they broke up on good terms, but since then ive enjoyed his presence and appreciate how he stays serious when the situation calls for it but is more socially inept at times

7. 7 - Im so relieved the writing was actually really good for her and her story of finding her own humanity and individuality was largely focused in areas aside from romance but for the end, the moral conflicts she faces has me more on the edge of my seat to see her solution with limited experience in dealing with nuance and moral complexity compared to cold stone Borg logic without empathic consideration. Her becoming a kind of den mother to the borg children is as funny as it is hesrtwarming, Her friendship with tuvok and the doctor are my faves, wish there'd been an epsiode focusing on the three of them getting into shenanigans. Also 7 and Janeway had way too much gay chemistry for a supposed mother/daughter subtext LOL

8. Tom - another surprise for me that I ended up liking this character as much as I do, I wasnt a fan of the flirty arrogant bad boy thing, i wasnt interested in his daddy issues, but i appreciated how the show ran his romance with B'elenna and took its time, i liked how little he actually acted selfishly on missions and was actually really empathetic and made efforts to stick to morals but it also feels right to have him often call out the cons of morally conscious choices over practical ones. His emotional performances always felt very strong and they hit more compared to his usual bravado. Still makes one too many jokes for my taste though

9. Chakotay- omg maybe its the writing, maybe its the directing, I dont want to say its the actor but this character was so boring to me, I couldnt be f***** to care about his conflicts or his forced romance with Janeway, his voice is way more monotonous than Tuvok's and with a more pretentious cadence imo, I do not feel any one way or the other about the Native American stuff I just mean that the character feels very predictable, his Tom-like one liners feel too much like hes pausing for a reaction from the room it just lacks any charm Tom's one liners had for me, I like when he challenges Janeway's decisions but the emotional delivery doesnt hit me well enough to not think "damm I wish someone else was having this redundant conversation with her", I dont hate the character i just feel very unindifferent, his romance with 7 is Fine but I really wish it could have been preplanned more

Making a collage I want her to autograph :)

A song that would nearly bring you to tears with how it resonates with you and that person, a song that really shows they SEE and UNDERSTAND you.

Currently mine is Beautiful Crazy by Luke Combs

I know i can't be the only one who thinks this, at first I didnt like Jax just because i knew the internet would idolize him as a tumblr sexy man type, but over time i did grow to appreciate the cautionary tale he was slowly being revealed to be. Like, yes he did bad things but hes not inherently a bad person but him being a victim of his parents doesn't negate the fact that he made other innocent people be his own victims. He purposefully pushed everyone away who cared yet he was still able to forge and value those connections regardless, even secretly/subconsciously.

So if I relate to jax on sooo many intimate levels, whats the best advice you would give to mid-series "Jax"

Unable to find it and really want to see it so I can complete the series

I saw her recently at a con and didnt get to fully articulate my points to her, what is the most updated, accurate way for me to write her a letter that she will inevitably receive at some point?

Was he faking it when he said he wanted his wife and his new husband and himself all to be "very close friends", i mean how else am I meant to interpret this LOL also he seemed wayyy too into it with that Tuvok kiss, not that i blame him at all

I like her character, shes sincerely sweet and the right amount of naive and trusting, shes capable and curious and goes through her own struggles, but I juat dont hear very much about her within the fandom or see much fanare for her and im worried that means shes killed off before the more popular seasons or something 😭 but this is just my prediction as a newbie to the show so please no spoilers, just wanted to share some genuine thoughts

I just think Tuvok is a more interesting character who gets more interesting plots in episodes and also has more qppeal to me in his endeavors to understand human behavior

I also appreciate his role as Janeway's right hand man versus Chakotay because with Tuvok it feels like he guides her to the "right" decision and seeming more sincere and neutral when asked his advice, but imo with Chakotay he just seems like a little preachy or maybe even unintentionally pretentious in his scenes, but hes not for me

I don't dislike the character at all but in terms of who I would want to watch interact as a romantic or intimately domestic couple are definitely headstrong Janeway and steadfast Tuvok

Harry as an old man forcibly taken care of was pretty harsh but then a LITERAL BABY OMFGGGG like IMAGINE if the show went this dark and committed if the issue was in a different area like if there was sexual abuse issues or heavy drug abuse issues or intrusively violent impulse concerns, this could have been way darker and graphic if it veered slightly to the right, as it is its already pretty unsettling XD
