I was over here with all sorts of serious thinky thoughts about Delenn and her manipulation and how, with her, deciding that she's going to be with someone because of her Ultimate Interstellar Destiny (tm) doesn't at all preclude her genuinely loving the guy in the slightest, and in fact probably adds to it because she's just that determined and bull-headed about things... and then I read this, and all I can think of is that whole thing as a macro. Did she eated it, too? ♥
[...] their Roles in History and what they're giving up (you know, their species identity, for one thing).
This, yes. *Wanders off grumbling about the unfortunate loss of beautiful full-Minbari!Delenn to the whole Destiny plot, and how it isn't fair that she doesn't get to really be Minbari anymore because the other Minbari cast her out and all.* Much as I'm sure it pleased Mira not to have to get in and oh-god-thirty for makeup call every morning, I will never get over missing Minbari!Delenn. ♥
Sorry for jumping on the conversation a bit. I couldn't resist.
