And I wasn't that fond of Chakotay anyway but I hated that forced ship with Seven more than Susan/Marcus.

I think it was always meant to be a doomed ship (although I liked Marcus and *didn't* like how JMS rubbed our noses in how self-destructive Marcus was after THAT happened.) Susan was always unlucky in love, and Marcus was infatuated with the idea as much as the actual woman. Their time ran out. 🤷♀️

My aunt's fond of Shiba Inus but while Jasper was more friendly and laid back (except for deer), Emmi is more high-strung and nervous in crowds (which is a shame because my aunt had hoped to train her as a therapy dog.)
They both get dogs from rescues so that's something, at least.

My grandma is Maltese, the name's part of the appeal. They're small (which is good for an elderly woman) but with big personalities. Some have been cuddly lapdogs, some are more independent, one was so fierce he attacked my uncle's Great Dane (no injuries, thank goodness.) It just works for her.

Some breeds tend to have traits that sync with someone's personality and lifestyle, so I can understand that. My grandma likes Maltese, my aunt likes Shiba. But personalities within the breed can vary *a lot*, so it's not like having the exact same dog.
I don't get cloning at all.

I don't know if I'm up to the challenge, but I'd like to know more.

Since the Alt text disappeared: "this is the Jolly Roger of the Straw Hat crew from One Piece. It's a skull (wearing a straw hat) and crossbones on a black field. Monkey D. Luffy, the captain, believes strongly in the freedom to follow one's dreams and helping others."

I'm not defending that guy, but there's one Jolly Roger that I tend to associate with freedom... yeah, I'm weird.

Don't get me wrong, your art's excellent and well worth the follow on its own! But I didn't actively know I was craving another Mummy movie until I saw that and my immediate reaction was YES GIMME GIMME I NEEEED IT so that was a real vibe... 🤣

You are NOT worthless.
Really.
You may FEEL like it, doesn't mean you ARE; it's just you just can't see yourself clearly right now.
If nothing else, your posts bring value to others' days; that AIN'T worthless.
(I've felt the same, so I GET it. It's hard to believe, I KNOW, but please try?)

In that era, it probably was all white, and mostly if not all male too (considering some of Al's casual lechery and other gendered gags.) 🤷♀️

It doesn't mean we can't pick it apart now, of course, and I'm probably biased because I really enjoyed QL back in the day. 🤷♀️

Younger me tuned in for the cool scifi, cute guy in the lead, but older me sees the emphasis on empathy, supporting others, how small actions can change lives for the better. It wasn't a perfect show (especially how it kinda played into the "white savior" trope) but for the time it was a good try.

True... and yet I think those making the show meant well in doing so. The idea of "walking a mile in someone else's shoes" to help them wasn't the *worst* idea for a show, even if the way they executed it sometimes falls flat by today's standards (and yeah, it does, I'm not arguing that.)
