The Expanse Gifset request -> Naomi + Faceless

[laz-laz-ace-pilot]

I need more people to have watched The Expanse so I can scream about how Naomi's rejection of the 'mother martyr' trope is fantastic on its own but also so fucking refreshing given how often female characters are slung with the 'biological legacy' trope in Sci Fi

Yes I'm annoyed about Andor and Bix

[rocicrew]

From my family line

[youwontbelievethethingsiveread]

It breaks my heart that Naomi never learns she didn't kill Filip 💔 I don't even need them to meet again, I just wish she knew he's still out there

Naomi's hand terminal. The Expanse. S05. E01.

[palominodragon]

Oh my fucking god I was about to be disappointed with the end of The Expanse. I'd googled Filip Inaros earlier and the search autofilled "Filip Inaros death" for some fucking reason, so I was already bracing myself for the Ben Solo character to die, and then they make me think Peaches is gonna die too, so halfway through the last episode I'm already composing in my head my next rant about how much I hate the redemption=death trope, lol.

Then the destruction of Marco's ship comes so abruptly, and it doesn't show Filip even doing something to counter his father and dying for it like I expected, so I'm thinking "what the hell was that loose end?" right up until the very last scene and the flashback that sneaks in while Naomi is talking to Holden.

Holy fuck.

The relief I felt.

I was literally the "wait, hold on, I need a minute" meme.

oh my god

In Support of Tamlin - characters who have done terrible things and been redeemed

Here we go with another one :p I think that Tamlin has done things that are unforgivable, mostly his abusive treatment towards Feyre. I don't think this one terrible thing makes him irredeemable, and has made effort to be better than he was at his worst, and I do dislike the thought of people/characters being judged solely by their worst actions without a chance to be better. So, in support of the idea that Tamlin deserves a redemption arc for his good deeds after his bad ones, I want to start compiling a list of characters who, like Tamlin, have done terrible things and still found a way to be better, if not good outright. And of course, SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS/STORIES

Feel free to add your own in response, in the comments or in reblogs!

Zuko, from Avatar: the Last Airbender - his actions: lead a chase to kidnap the avatar, physically fighting and hurting the main cast, burning a village down, threatening violence on citizens, stealing goods and food from citizens, helping overthrow an entire kingdom, betraying his Uncle who only wanted him to be the best he could be. His redemption: trains Aang to fight and defeat his abusive father, thus saving the nation he helped conquer and the world at large while helping the individual members of the main cast with personal problems, apologizes to his Uncle.

Loki, from the MCU - his actions: acts of terrorism, murder and betrayal of his family, mind controlling people to do evil against their will, multiple attempts at murdering his brother. His redemption: After the death of his mother, Loki works with Thor to avenge her death and later unite against world ending threats multiple times

Filip Nagata, from The Expanse: His actions: the son of a megalomaniac, he commits multiple murders in the name of his father and is in part responsible for dropping asteroids on earth, killing millions of people in the event and aftermath. He kidnaps his mother and physically strikes her, at his father's encouragement. His redemption: this one is ongoing, last we see. After his mother's words while she was held prisoner make him realize how much pain he inflicted, he leaves his father's ship, changes his last name to his mother's and spends the rest of his life trying to do good, knowing it won't ever make up for the harm he was a part of causing. not sure if it counts as redemption fully, but it's an attempt to do better with the life his mother helped save.

The Beast, from Beauty and the Beast: His actions: He was a cruel and selfish youth, turned away old ladies into the cold, raged and berated his servants, imprisons Belle's father then takes her prisoner in exchange, intimidates and frightens Belle with his rage, threats and destruction of property. His redemption: saves Belle from a pack of wolves, learns to be considerate of her needs and interests and how to be kind, releases her from his captivity when he realizes he has feelings for her and she needs to rescue her father

Baptiste, from Overwatch: His actions: working with an infamous mercenary which was responsible for several high profile assassinations and civilian casualties. His redemption: Leaving said mercenary group and trying to use his healing knowledge to help where he can.

Luke Castellan, from Percy Jackson Series: His actions: looking for revenge against his father, he works with the evil titan Kronos to try and overthrow the gods, rallying armies of monstrous creatures, stealing from the gods and attempting murder on his friends multiple times, nearly bringing about the end of the world. His redemption: after attempting to flee and abandon Kronos' army when it became too much for him, he ultimately stops the titan from being fully reborn by sacrificing himself, dispersing the titan's essence so he could never (hopefully) reform and be a threat again.

Alexis Rose, from Schitt's Creek: Her actions: She acts selfishly in regards to her needs/wants, lies to Ted about wanting to marry him to avoid difficult conversations and sleeps with Mutt while they were engages. Her redemption: Alexis learns to become a better, well rounded person, recognizes her mistakes and takes ownership for them by apologizing, And becomes a person willing to put another person's happiness and needs above her own, even if it means losing someone she loves.

Michael, from The Good Place: His actions: as a literal demon, he's spent innumerable years torturing humans in the afterlife, making it his goal to create new and innovative methods of torture when he creates the false Good Place. His redemption: after being forced to ally with the humans he had planned on torturing to save himself, he comes to understand human morality and becomes a deeply moral person himself, at points willing to sacrifice himself to save the humans he'd initially intended to torture and working to make the afterlife a better place for all humanity.

Ebenezer Scrooge, from A Christmas Carol: His actions: Aside from being personally stingy with his money, he is cruel to everyone he interacts with, including his employee and his nephew, giving the former barely enough to support his large family despite the work he does. His redemption: after seeing where his life went wrong, so to speak, and how his actions impact his present and his future, he decides to become kinder and more generous with his money and affection, making sure Tiny Tim receives the care needed so he lives to grow up.

Being normal about the expanse again, finishing an S4 rewatch

Naomi FUCKING Nagata, flying out into space to grab Lucia

God I wish Marco wasn't so hot

and CHRIST the casting on Filip, he looks exactly like Naomi the first time you see him

And Ashford's death is so good but sad and maaaaan he's such a different character to the books lmao

[brotherconstant]

The Expanse 5.06 Tribes Make sure you tell Naomi what a fine young man her son has become.

[imbricare]

@solarodes / cont.

She is ill-prepared for how young he looks like this. Delicate. Less man and more boy, and Naomi thinks there isn't an eighteen year old in the universe who would like to hear that, so it's a thought she bottles up and keeps to herself. The very fact that she can think it, though? That's a privilege and a blessing and the reason why the corners of her mouth pull up.

She leans over her son and presses her lips to his brow like she's done countless times before, when he was little and she was naive. Now he's tall and gangly and his own man, her son, and even though she thinks him a boy, looking at him comes at a cost: memory of the years she carved off, years they missed out together.

No more.

She won't let them have him – not Earth, not Mars, certainly not the Belt. For all they cared, Filip Inaros died on the Pella together with his father.

But he's here and he's alive.

It's the first time Naomi thinks, Filip Nagata.

"I'm here. And so are you. Kori mi."

"Right now, that's all that matters. Just rest. You're safe here."

Here, on the Roci. Away from prying eyes and vicious tongues. She trusts almost everyone on board with her life, and those she doesn't trust – Melba – can be vouched for.

"Is there anything you need? Do you want some water?"
