Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --
CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan. JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.
Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.
Here, take a minute:
youtube
First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.
This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT
Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.
There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.
Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.
Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.

sooo excited to return to the girls telling ghost stories with their friends series origins this chapter. it felt both genuinely eerie and very nostalgic, and I think seeing these scenes that echo the beginning of the series really hit home on that “starting all over again but something is off” feeling of this arc so perfectly! what a tragic and creepy tone this chapter accomplishes, taking us back to a start that feels familiar, yet is decidedly not where we started

A little fun creepy drawing based off of something that they kinda play off in the games lol
Tumblr media
I rlly like drawing unsettling and creepy art of characters I love, not because I necessarily think they’re evil or they would do these things tho I guess canonically raz kills animals in pn1, even if it is played for laughs lol It’s just? A little horror-y as a treat?

Watching people (a singular person) say they don’t appreciate cannibalism being used to represent queerness in Bones and All because it reinforces queerness being associated with grotesque fetor is so interesting to me. Me, personally, I feel as though it perfectly encapsulates the feeling of “otherness” that comes with growing up queer in a mostly heterosexual/ homophobic space.
Even before I realised that I was a lesbian, I always felt like a pariah amongst other girls. Like a voyeur encroaching in on soft femininity, a form that I felt I was too amorphous and fetid to fit into. It always felt as though there lurked an inkling of “errant-ness” in me surrounded by everyone else.
Seeing Maren in a voracious fit bite off that girls fingers resonated with me because I always felt with other girls this fear of doing something wrong to come across as the perverse, creeping queer. Her cannibalistic tendencies, to me, really paralleled how I carry my lesbianism sometimes. As something to be ashamed of or that would turn others away from me.

it has been three weeks but i NEED to hear about “Teenager mcr vibes” and also ily xoxo
Omg <3 hey bestie xoxo
Anyway, this fic is basically a series of snapshots of Sam’s childhood from John’s perspective. In each one, John believes that there is something not right with Sam and at first you’re like “this dude literally has beef with a 5 year old” but as the story gets closer to the end you’re like “okay maybe he’s actually onto something here” Or at least that’s the goal…I actually haven’t written past the first section
Please enjoy this fun little sample paragraph: “You swallow hard, watching as Dean reattaches the toy wheel with the swift sure hands of someone who should grow up to be anything except what he is. Sammy smiles up at him, hero worship clear on his face, but for some reason all you can think of is an animal baring it’s teeth.”

Yeah so I have this old 2004(?) Little People Farm that makes animal noises and I just heard it moo from the closet.
and what’s weird is that Matt Rose read a post about someone who had THE EXACT SAME FARM DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
Why is it always the cow sound that breaks first?

Kaveh should delete this guy next
Tumblr media
Edit: For context, there’s a co-op only glitch where Kaveh can delete things from other people’s worlds permanently. And these things CANNOT come back no matter what (not even uninstalling and reinstalling work).

Actually as an autistic person, I think all the people who said Rapunzel was autistic and Timothy was ableist need to disappear from the internet forever

Unrequited love is crazy because you know you have to move past it but you’re stuck because they’re the only person who’s attractive to you and then eventually when you get to a point where you find other people attractive again it’s because really they remind you of the person you still love and that makes you pine all over again
