Thinking about Narvin telling Leela “I think I preferred it when you didn’t understand sarcasm” and…we know the Madame President who taught her sarcasm 🥹
Honestly? It never feels like Brax and Romana are ever actually talking in an official capacity, even when they are. It feels sorta like that tutor/pupil relationship, sorta like friendship, sorta idk what else, but it’s way more familiar than Cardinal and Madame President.
When Brax overrides Romana’s order to lower the transduction barriers, he carefully explains why it was a bad idea. Multiple times throughout the story, Romana asks his opinion/thoughts on what’s happening. Even “Et tu, Braxiatel?” when you think about it, implies that she trusts Brax quite a lot. And then there’s Brax’s happy “Madame President!!!” at the end.
Idk where this is going but I just have Thoughts and this is a super interesting nuance that the writers planted here at the very beginning

Painting I did based on this poem :)

Do we think Merrin kept one of Cal's bazillion wanted posters around, like Maid Marian from the Disney Robin Hood who was keeping Robin's poster stuck to the inside of her wardrobe like a pinup? Because. I do.
absolutely yes, perfect idea

Im sick of people trashing the 'damsel in distress. That simply means a girl who can't save herself. If you want to write a story about a girl who saves the day do so, but don't stomp on those who can't help themselves that's not what heroes do.
THIS ✨
And even if the damsel can't save herself, she maintains her kind and pure soul without hatred, which requires a whole new level of strength ✨
sometimes she can't save herself but she is calling out for help and that in itself is a valuable thing - to emphasise that we are all worthy of help and allowed to ask for it

Not me once again thinking about “Leela, I—” and then “I know,” and how Narvin wants to say so much and doesn’t know how, but it’s okay because Leela knows all of it, she’s always known, but she can’t hear him say it now, not when they’re both fighting to stay alive every day, not when she’s unsure who she’ll become by the time the war is over, not when love is only a weapon that can be used against her by the time lords. In this essay I will
