In my opinion, the reason the reunion scene was skipped was because the author couldn’t figure out a way to write it non-romantically and gave up after a while
honestly. i kinda agree with you nonnie.
it just. the set up to the scene is sooooo romantic. you have lloyd being absolutely devastated at the thought he's not going to see any of his loved ones ever again and that he's been dropped back into his terrible life, to the place he admitted he'd rather die than go back to,,, and then someone knocks at the door and when he opens it this is the sight that greets him:
his best friend, the person he's closest to, the one he's spent years with, the one he promised a peaceful life at his side, the one he wanted to grow old with, the one he sacrificed everything for, the one he effectively gave his life to save, the one he thought he'd never see again, standing at his door, having crossed literal dimensional barriers to get to him, a soft and teary smile on his face as he tells him "i missed you"
like. c'mon.
i'm all for platonic interpretations, i'm aroace, i love me a good best friendship as much as the next guy, but,,,, isn't this,,, like,,, really fucking romantic??? extremely so??? am i??? reading too much into it?? because it feels really, really romantic to me.
and like you say. where do you go from there. what response could lloyd give that doesn't involve throwing himself at javier and clinging to him with all of his strength. what conversation could these two have that doesn't involve them seeing how truly devoted they are to each other. what resolution does their arc together have that isn't them spending the rest of their lives together, at each other's side, like they so dearly wanted to.
but. alas. that wasn't the story bk moon wanted to tell. and that's very much his right. i just think that if he didn't want me to assume there's no in-character and narratively satisfying version of that conversation that doesn't end with them kissing he should've at least tried to give us something. and not completely skipped it lol
but that's just my opinion too :]

If we had spoken out, if we had gone public with what we knew, most of the other worlds would never have believed us. It would have changed nothing. Your world would still have fallen.

I've been meaning to do a grey council delenn portrait since last year's challenge, I love the vibe a lot. I was thinking maybe in addition to the valen triluminary they also have other... triangle-based decision-making devices in the council? my personal lore is this one contains a piece of a destroyed ship, used to symbolize matters of war.

okay I love the unholy trinity friendship. i really do. they are so precious to me. BUT... I was rewatching ep 2x22 "New York" and Quinn is legit having an emotional breakdown in the hotel room over the last two hellish years of her life, and Santana's like, "dw girl I know exactly what will fix you: ✨ new haircut ✨!!" LMAO??
then ofc S3 premieres and it turns out that the haircut did not, in fact, fix all her problems aksfhjsd

I wish DS9 had more scenes of Kira and Jadzia coming to understand each other’s perspectives on the world better through their friendship. I’d have loved to see more of them on the Holodeck together, with Kira gradually coming to embrace an open and creative part of herself she was never previously allowed the opportunity to find. This is a part of Kira that’s clearly there, especially in later seasons, and a part that I think Jadzia would really bring out in her. It would have also been nice to see Jadzia excited to learn more about Bajoran culture and religion, like we see just a little bit of in season 6. Jadzia is so fascinated by other cultures, and it would have been interesting to see this explored in relation to Bajor and Kira in particular. How would Jadzia come to understand and appreciate Bajoran religious beliefs from her primarily nonreligious perspective?

Barry trying to figure out if he has a shot with Rafe so he corners Topper at a party and attempts to bring up the kooks type organically but it just makes Topper panic because he's pretty sure Rafe's type is just Barry
So he starts with general statements like tanned men with bad attitudes, strong work ethnic (he hates giving a subtle compliment of course but he's floundering) but the longer he has to be in Barry's presence the more targeted the traits get; unkempt hair, dirty little stubby fingernails, untied shoelaces, weird facial hair
