Another favourite angst trope: When a character is so used to being treated badly that they don't see anything wrong with it and talk and think about it very matter-of-factly

Until they meet the other characters and see how HORRIFIED they are every time they reveal another detail from their past

Beefspired (beefcake inspired) by this hilarious Korrasami post:

Kara, playing beefopoly (beefcake monopoly): "Huh... I want to buy this property but I don’t have the money. Will the bank accept a smooch instead? 😚"

Lena, who is the bank: "The bank rejects your proposal. The price is twenty smooches. 😌"

Kara, smiling and leaning in: "I can do that... 😏"

Alex, loudly groaning: "You two know damn well that’s not how the game works! This is why Kara always wins! 🙄"

Nia, sighing: "We really need to stop letting Lena be the bank..."

Lmao Aral is a 4 or 5 on the Kinsey scale but fell for Cordelia because she's the first butch he'd ever seen in his life.

anyway Dr. WD Gaster being a soft and kind soul makes his character infinitely more interesting to me than him being evil or even just kinda mean. like his passion for his craft lies not in fucked up experiments, but in a genuine love for learning and the opportunity to teach others and do good by his people. he's definitely strange (all scientists are) and kinda intimidating but he's literally the most thoughtful and considerate person ever it's just a little bit hard to tell because of the way he speaks does anyone HEAR me. he's one of the few characters that WOULDN'T benefit from the mad scientist trope.

The dichotomy of Raven Branwen and Taiyang Xiao Long is that the latter is a generally good person but a TERRIBLE father, while the former is many bad things but a 'bad mother' is NOT one of them. Or at the very least, she's not any worse than her teammates.

Why?

Well for one, because when Raven left her daughter(s), she made sure they were left in the care of people she trusted to raise and take care of them because she believed she was unfit to raise them ("You're better at that life. Better than I was").

While when Tai effectively checked out of his daughters' lives to the point where BOTH have stated up-front and matter-of-factly that Yang raised Ruby, it's pretty clear that he DID NOT.

(Also please note that I am not saying that Raven is a 'good' mother. NONE of Team STRQ were 'good' parents. They ALL failed Ruby and Yang in one way or another. It's just that some people seem insistent on giving Tai a free pass just because he doesn't fit the typical/generic 'shitty dad' traits and also isn't a woman.)

this is what in-universe gender euphoria looks like for him if we're being honest here

The ones that make me laugh are always about amors:

okay idk how many of y'all also like murderbot but im sure there's at least a few of you. apple tv is doing a series with alexander skarsgård executive producing and starring. and i am very excited to see a TV show adaptation, i think it could be so good. im gonna tell my dad to watch it. at the same time, i am genuinely sad murderbot is going to be played by a white man. literally ANYBODY could have been murderbot. truly actually anybody. and im not surprised in the least, but i am disappointed. and like. if the Very Clearly Not White characters get whitewashed, im going to be FURIOUS. i really do hope it's going to be good but im braced for less than good.

Dark Passions Susan Wright Book 1 - January 2001 (232pp) Book 2 - January 2001 (200pp) Before Kira and Bashir stumbled upon the mirror universe, there was plenty of intrigue going on. Agent Annika Hansen of the Obsidian Order has been ordered to to eliminate the new Overseer of the Alliance, Kira. Even assassins don't appear immune to her considerable wiles, however. Familiar characters play evil and manipulative to the hilt. When Kira obtains an Iconian transportal device, no one is safe from her wrath. Susan [Wright] said, “I'm fascinated with parallel universes. ‘Mirror, Mirror’ was my favorite TOS episode, and I enjoyed the DS9 mirror universe episodes. So when my editor at Pocket Books, John Ordover, said he wanted me to write a ‘bad girls’ of Trek, I was up for it. I created the story for one book, and afterwards it was expanded to two books. I made Seven of Nine and Intendent [sic] Kira the two main characters, and put them into a relationship. I thought it was great that Paramount allowed the interaction. I loved writing characters that were familiar yet fundamentally different. For example, Seven was trained as a Cardassian assassin since there is no Borg in the mirror universe.”
