The little baby boys I was fostering, Tik Tok and Flip Flop, went to a bigger rescue yesterday, so I did a photoshoot with them before saying goodbye! If you are anywhere near Sheridan, Wyoming, and want the sweetest little crazy dudes ever, go adopt them! They are brothers and best friends!
So I'm re-watching Babylon 5 again and I don't think we see Delenn and Sheridan kiss until Sheridan proposes. There's several times where it looks like they are going to kiss but the end up touching foreheads or just getting their faces really close together. I'd noticed it before and had always wondered what the Doylist reason was but today I was thinking about the Watsonian reason.
My initial thought was that neither of them was sure about the other's customs. Now surely Delenn would be aware that humans kissed. But it's reasonable to assume that Sheridan would have no idea if Minbari kiss or not. After all, there's no reason to assume that all sentient bipeds kiss as part of their dating/mating rituals and it's kind of hard to imagine Minbari going around kissing in public.
So now I thinking about Delenn getting frustrated that Sheridan won't kiss her. Like she keeps leaning in and he keeps ducking it at the last minute. 😂
Now it's also possible that they just don't want to be seen kissing in public as most of these moment were in public, but I'm pretty sure at least a couple of them were in private.
Some art for OC-tober! Based on _bweird's prompt list
day 1 - Fave OC(s): Verity and Phakt Theta! I draw Verity more but I love both of them a lot :) and it felt wrong to exclude Teth since he's techically Veri's host-
day 2 - New OC: A character from a personal project with a friend, her name is Sheridan!
day 3 - Old OC: My old ponysona, Monochrome Dream!
“ Heart aches, memories trace
Now and then
Mourning stars and catacombs
A lion's den
You broke me down, down, down
And darling I can't, feel the sun no more
You're my lost cause
You're my last thought
You're my stained gauze
You are all I've got
Scorpio rising ”
