Okay officially yeeting this out there, does anyone want to do some sort of orville rp? Discord only, 18+ only (i’m an adult and am not comfy chatting with minors privately). My writing style is 3+ paragraphs a post and i’d like the same! I will likely be using an oc but you’re free to use whoever, oc or canon.

Lysella asking for asylum - The Orville S03E10
I find it really funny that the orville tag is constantly cross posted with orville peck stuff, just bc it shares a word. I wonder if the orville peck people are getting our shenanigans too and wondering what the hell is in their tag

The Orville: New Horizons - 3x05
Orville S1E01: hey look the captain's first officer is his cheating ex-wife — isn't that wacky?
Orville S3E10: these two Klingons are going to have passionate gay sex in the woods
Dr. Finn assisted me with a construct of my statement, however the substance is my own. I presume it will be adequate.
Just read about Nichelle Nichols' passing. LLAP, Lt. Uhura 🖖 ❤️
Been thinking very hard about Charly's sacrifice and how that relates to Bury Your Gays. I want to preface everything with YMMV and it's completely valid if you're upset. In my opinion, Charly's death worked.
BYG is a set of tropes: when a characters's death is for shock value with little to no long term impact. Usually their death isn't about them and they have no agency in it, it's purpose is to inflict pain on their love interest (a main character) or to motivate another character, often for only a few episodes, often a straight man. There is also the element of creator bias, when they are aware how much that character/that relationship means to the audience and either ignorantly or maliciously choose to inflict the pain of killing them anyway. Arrow, The 100, Person of Interest, ST: Discovery, Supernatural and Killing Eve are the ones I'm most familiar with, but there are hundreds of others. Charly's death fits none of those criteria.
Charly had agency in her sacrifice. It wasn't a stray bullet, it wasn't pointless; she saved the galaxy and prevented genocide. Her decision was a reflection of her devotion to the ideals of the Union, even if she felt conflicted. The belief that all life has value, that even if it's your enemy and you have every reason to hate them, *genocide is always wrong*. That's what Charly decided. That was her story and her choice, no one else's. Consequently her actions have changed the course of the entire central storyline for the show. Her sacrifice *mattered*.
Contrast that with the Orville's Thursday counterpart, Strange New Worlds, which also killed a minority character in episode 9. It was pointless and he had no agency in it. A shock value death after the stakes of the episode had already resolved. It added nothing to the episode or the overall narrative. He wasn't even mentioned in the subsequent finale; he was disposable. In a lackluster and rushed funeral scene he got a short by the numbers speech about how he helped Uhura find herself, because his death wasn't about him.
Or go back a few years to another Trek when Discovery killed Hugh at the height of BYGs. Another pointless, shock value death that accomplished nothing except making Paul miserable.
The Orville has built up to this moment for three seasons. The episode was a culmination of every major storyline for the show, and the paradigm of the story has permanently changed because of Charly's actions. It's a tricky business killing any character in your story. It has to feel both too soon and inevitable, and making sure it matters to the narrative is something the majority of shows fail to do. This counts ten fold for queer characters. The Orville is a rare example that has met that threshold for me. To write off Charly's sacrifice as BYG is to imply that it didn't matter, and it did.

Your various programs are used to her,
and it turns out she’s not so easy to just…delete.
