Thinking about Seven envying how people treat B'Elanna (poorly) because when she shows aggression or discontent everyone's response is (in Seven's eyes) "Oh well that's just how she is - typical Klingon B'Elanna!" giving her a pass so to speak because even though she's Human she's not REALLY Human - which Seven identifies with but is denied that ("You're a [Human/Real]Woman, Seven!") and constantly treated as something that needs to be fixed and softened. Seven seeing a freedom there - being able to act how you want and not being chided for it, led away from your own personality like it's a toy you should have grown out of years ago. Whereas B'Elanna envies that Seven, despite having an extremely violent past of assimilating people and making (in B'Elanna's eyes) little to no effort to fit in, is given full access to (allegorically white) Human Femininity by virtue of her being born fully Human. How she's coddled and thought of as beautiful by everyone around her despite all the horrible things she's done. B'Elanna was born Human and raised among Humans for awhile and yet she's never been Human to anyone. To B'Elanna Seven is treated like a long-lost princess coming home: "This is all yours, it's your birthright, we're so glad you're finally back!" and Seven (infuriatingly) keeps pushing it all away and trying to climb out the window. Both of them (not wholly, but in some sense) envying the respective ways the other is treated poorly by those around them. If /I/ was treated like that I wouldn't waste it like her...

(smugly) actually all narration is unreliable because language can only ever communicate through approximation

I kicked like a child when I realized what song this was!

why is it so hard for people to grasp that disabilities disable and chronic illnesses are chronic. yes even when it inconveniences you. yes even when your patience runs out

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.
