Klaus: I got sent to the Vietnam war and was put through series emotional trauma
Five: I was in the apocalypse for 45 years
Luther: Dad sent me to the moon and never even opened the research
You mean:
-I was also put through serious emotional trauma
-I’ve been suicidal and canonically self harm
-I have an eating disorder
-I am just now coming off of four years of isolation
-I’m also just now realizing I have been abused and manipulated my whole life
-was blamed for my brothers death and have dealt with the guilt all these years
-I was manipulated and abused so severely that I didn’t even realize it for 29 years and sacrificed my whole life for a lie
-I almost died in an accident and have PTSD from it
-I was then mutilated against my will and now have a literally nonhuman body, which I also have PTSD from
-Which also gave me severe body dysmorphia
-my first time having sex was nonconsensual
-probably also mind fucked by the one person I’ve ever romantically loved
-who I also just watched almost die
Reblogging for comment, y'all Luther haters really wanna reach but y'all keep losing
Just wanted to add that the trauma of “I’m also just now realizing I’ve been abused and manipulated my whole life” should never be understated. You guys remember Inside Out, where Riley spends the whole movie trying not to feel sad about her most cherished childhood memories, so much so that she winds up plunging into depression over it? Multiply the disaster and destruction in her brain by ten, and you have what happens when you realize that the parents you loved were actually abusive. Moments you thought were funny turn out to be sinister, moments you thought were full of warmth and caring were actually full of manipulation. You lose your childhood, and it’s a lot like losing a loved one.
✨New Star Trek soon!!!✨ I am SO excited for Strange New Worlds! I love everyone on the cast and I cannot wait to get completely sucked into every single adventure they get into May 5th cannot come soon enough for me!!!

POV you’re a well written, human character people love to hate for absolutely no reason even though other characters in the show have done equally bad/worse things than you, you’re still trying to get over your abusive past and people don’t like that, and you have a redemption arc that everyone ignores because they just Can’t Get Over the one bad (but reasonable) thing you did earlier in the story

Someone on Instagram it reminded them of like an adult cartoon/adult swim Joey and Ngl that is the best compliment I have received since I grew up on adult swim
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Fruits Basket: The Final just overtook Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as the top-ranking anime of all time. Simply incredible. Brotherhood is also a fantastic series. It held the top spot for over a decade. I am shook. I’ve been wanting this series animated since I was a teenager. So happy it’s getting the recognition it deserves.
I like that Number One at first tries to approach beaming a piece of a planet’s mantle onto the ship or trying to touch the warp core the same way one would approach a toddler trying to eat crayons.
FOR REAL her whole energy was “honey no put that down it’s bad for your tummy”
THEY’RE PLAYING WITH OUR FUCKING FEELINGS, I’M TELLING YOU GUYS, I’M CALLING IT… i’m gonna cry when we get there…
Firstly: yey, more Rebecca Romijn being a fantastic actress and ruining our lives by being the most perfect Number One.
Secondly: Guys I’m scared.
We have no information about what happens to Number One later in canon.
I understand that she wasn’t in the Menagerie because of the whole Majel Barrett thing but canonically? Where was Number One in the TOS era?
I swear to god she better get a happy ending in 10 years when this show finishes airing (yes I want 7 seasons and a movie). If she dies or gets badly injured or gets kicked out of Starfleet, I’m burning down Kurtzman’s house.
