I was going to ask which scifi series i should cry over next, like i had a post ready and everything, but upon reflection, i think i’ll have to sit with this for a long time. 

This is why I’m so hard to get into things, haha.  Because I know I have the capability to get so invested that it impairs my functioning a little.  Also, I have to get all this stuff out with art, and if I don’t have the energy to do the art, then things go badly. 

BUT ANYWAY, if anyone is interested, I’m going to set up all my shit and fuck around on my livestream in five or ten minutes if all goes well with my computer and its whims.  I most likely will not be making a finished drawing, just doodles and ideas and fucking around and teaching myself stuff while being a total dork.  But if you want to come and scream about aliens, I will be delighted to words at you while also doodling.

I’ll have some instrumental music going until there’s some reason to turn it down and chatter, so don’t be alarmed?

The Oprah reference just made me think, “Take a look under your chair. Surprise! Bisexuality for EVERYONE!”

i am an actual artist, i promise

Okay, but how does anyone go on the Oprah show and not look under their chairs IMMEDIATELY, just in case?

Oh, dA groups of dubious and frankly embarrassing quality, you never let me down.  

I’m so happy you guys are chatty about this :3

I’m considering trying to livestream so I can talk to people while I doodle.

I would go with this, except I’m determined to believe that Bester lied and Talia is still alive and gets better.

I would also accept this! Despite my previous conversation, I feel like I’m leaning toward the Delenn option, but I dig this all around.  I’m sure that’s got to be a fanfic somewhere, ja?  More bisexual ladies in space please~  

Fuck, just more bisexuals in space.  More bisexuals anywhere. 

This show, man, I feel like Oprah with a giant handful of confetti.

“And YOU’RE bisexual, and YOU’RE bisexual!  You get a same-sex romance, and YOU, and YOU! YOU and YOU!" 

… though, let’s be real, this is me with almost every show.

They really didn’t do much with it. But like, this was one of my things where I was like ‘man they would be cute together’ and then it got confirmed…after the fact. It was saddening. I love to think about that relationship dynamic though.

Right? I feel like they started it being a thing-ish, and then as soon as it started, Talia was gone.  

I usually need some extensive and prolonged character interaction to ship something, so it sadly just isn’t enough material, but DANG, I wish we could have seen how that would have panned out.  I wonder how much they’d have been allowed to do on 90s TV though. 

I was happy that the show seemed to try to normalize that as much as possible, though?  Like, Ivanova saying “I think I loved Talia” was not some kind of scandal, it was just her admitting she had feelings at all?  

There were other instances of people mentioned in a super off-hand way that let you know what you were supposed to conclude, even when you couldn’t show it blatantly. 

Hell, those maintenance guys in that one episode saw Londo and G'Kar having a thing about whatever the fuck it was this time and said, ‘How long do you think they’ve been married?’ when they both hissed and stormed off and the tone was like, 'Jeez, I know, right?’ and not, 'Gross, wow, wtf, you’re acting like girls.’     Those dudes were extremely chill, come to think of it.  I liked that episode’s framing, it was charming as hell.

I really dug that there were no eyebrows of shock or novelty or anything at Ivanova (or Talia for that matter) about anything regarding them and a relationship of any kind.  There was no sort of, “You mean, like, you two?  Sleeping like 'not sleeping’?” shit, making a giant fetishly fuss about it.  Super rad.

OH, also the episode with Marcus and Stephen getting ID cards as newly weds and Marcus just having a grand old time with it, but neither of them being gross about it?  I thought that was handled so well, like, Stephen was never repulsed, he was rolling his eyes at Marcus being so fucking cheesy.  I was really pleased to see that.
