Delenn - Tumblr Posts
You know what I think its grossly under-rated in fandom? Second loves.
What it's like to love and lose and then love again. To suffer through either the death of a loved one or the death of a love you used to share. To know that loss, to know that hurt, and to still make yourself vulnerable to someone again. To love scared, to love wounded, to love anyway.
Mira Furlan as Delenn in Babylon 5
I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light.
"We are all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars, molecules that do not understand politics, policies or differences. Over a billion years, we foolish molecules forget who we are and where we came from. In desperate acts of ego, we give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps and pretend that our light is better than everyone else's. The flame reminds us of the piece of those stars that lives on inside us, the spark that tells us, "You should know better". The flame also reminds us that life is precious, as each flame is unique. When it goes out, it's gone forever, and there will never be another quite like it. So many candles will go out tonight, I wonder some days if we can see anything at all."
"All life is transitory. A dream. We all come together in the same place at the end of time. If I don't see you again here, I will see you in a little while, in the place where no shadows fall."
Capt. John Sheridan : I wish I had your faith in the universe. I just don't see it sometimes.
Delenn : Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective.
"The universe puts us into places where we can learn. They are never easy places, but they are right. Wherever we are is the right place and the right time. The pain that sometimes comes is part of the process of constantly being born."
I'm ever so slowly re-uploading my old vids that got lost when various older streaming or filesharing services died. Hoping Vimeo is going to last a while, and I can fly under the radar there better than on YouTube.
Fandom: Babylon 5 Song: "Apocalypse Lullaby" by The Wailin' Jennies Vidder: icepixie Summary: "In the end, it would hold--because what is built endures. And what is loved endures. And Babylon 5...Babylon 5 endures."

Title: West of the Moon and East of the Sun Fandom: Babylon 5 Song: "A Good Day (Morning Song)," Priscilla Ahn Summary: John Sheridan was an optimist to the very end. Based largely around "Sleeping in Light," with the angst that entails. Sheridan/Delenn, but mostly focused on Sheridan. Note: Given how many similarities B5 bears to LOTR, I felt it only right that I get the title from Return of the King. The full quotation is "A day will come at last when I / Shall take the hidden paths that run / West of the Moon, East of the Sun."

OH MY LORD!! Why didn’t somebody warn me about this scene?!?
I told you I was afraid that I would get you back… only to lose you. And that’s what this is.
