I Cannot Provide Proof But Doug Eiffel Is Wearing Light Up Sketchers On The USS Hephaestus And Every

I cannot provide proof but Doug Eiffel is wearing light up sketchers on the USS Hephaestus and every time the power goes out he just stomps his feet on the nearest wall

no one will ever understand the complicated relationship between a minkowski girl and the mere existence of the dssppm. for the record.

Leaving my night job dancing at the Pink Pony Club in West Hollywood to go to my dayjob, also in West Hollywood, where I am part of the only news team that doesn't know WHAT'S on the teleprompter before they read it, and anyone who laughs or breaks loses points

You will never convince me that Isabel Lovelace is not disabled post-canon. Think about it.

Of everyone in the crew, she's spent by far the longest time in space. Sure, she's probably been exercising, but that isn't going to fully stop her muscles atrophying. Her bones are going to weaken. Not to mention the fact that she went into the cryo chamber, which we know isn't GREAT for you (I know Eiffel is kind of an outlier but still. Even once is gonna fuck you up at least a little).

Then add to THAT the fact that the body Lovelace has now was created by the dear listeners. Not only are they recreating a body that's already undergone almost a thousand days of the trauma of space; they're doing it with zero existing knowledge of how a human body functions in Earth's gravity. The clones are almost perfect, but there are notable differences in internal organs, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lovelace was put back together with some inconsistencies.

All this to say, I think Lovelace would become a mobility aid user when the crew lands back on Earth. Everyone on the crew would probably end up in physical therapy, but the damage done to her body would be by far the most extensive. Whereas I don't doubt Jacobi, Minkowski, and Eiffel could regain most if not all of their mobility, I think Lovelace would use a wheelchair, and eventually with PT could use crutches or a cane some days. Even if she were to regain muscle function, she would probably have some sort of chronic pain that would necessitate mobility aids!

In conclusion Let Her Be Disabled thank you for coming to my TED talk

EXACTLY

I also think a lot of it has to do with Ame finally fitting in as a member of the Coven.

The first time we see the council at work, Ame is exhausted and scared, and every single other member has this sort of looming presence about them. As much as Ame is a part of the group, she's also an outsider in so many ways. The entire episode holds this tension that fully immerses the audience in Ame's fumbling discomfort and the grandeur of these very powerful witches.

In The Vote, we're in the same situation, but now the roles are reversed. Brennan says, before the meeting even starts, that Ame has won. She has information, she has an ally in Hakea, the most revered witch on the council, and she's wielding this power with Grandma Wren's beautiful, fine-pointed trickery. Her kindnesses, her respect, aren't out of fear anymore. They are in and of themselves an extension of her domain; a reminder to Indri that the Witch of the World's Heart is as powerful as ever.

That position of power— and the dissolution of fear— allows Ame to get a clearer perspective on her Sisters. Because of course Mirara was the youngest. She lets herself be chastised by Indri. She's quick to act before she thinks. Like Ame, she doesn't participate in a majority of the showboating and displays of power the oldest three do. Like Ame, her retinue is slim, and she comes to Indri's palace alone.

Brennan Lee Mulligan is such an incredible storyteller. Those dynamics, those conflicts and nuances, they've always been there. The only thing that's changed is where Ame is sitting to watch, and that's so beautifully illustrated

i really like what this episode did for mirara. for all her alienness and foreboding, there's still a person behind that mask. she's a woman like any other, her feelings can be hurt and she can be tricked. no one is infallible.

Okay I hate to say it, but WHY did they send in Eiffel and Minkowski to do the super important mission where the only requirement is that they make no sound at all??? They are perhaps, of the whole cast, the two characters that are least likely to NOT yap for any given period when together.
