I’m also on lemm.ee I use catbox.moe for image uploads.
My instance disabled picture uploads and I don't want to create an alt-account. I propose using Alfred Bester as Mirror Universe Chekov. I'm counting on you, Risa. Let the fun begin!

Yeah, does not work out for me. I tried the catbox image link with: description Tried it as URL - nothing at all. Tried it as body - image does not load correctly. That’s btw how I got the image of this post online (different image host). I’m at my wits’ end regarding picture upload on lemm.ee

You just need to use an alternate url.

Unfortunately, not too lucky with this. I tried description. Tried it as URL - nothing at all. Tried it as body - image does not load correctly. That’s btw how I got the image of this post online (different image host). I’m at my wits’ end regarding picture upload on lemm.ee

Oh man, Bester was fuckin awesome.B5 had so many great, really complex, multilayered characters but Bester… Bester was actually simply evil, much more so than the Shadows have ever been.

Ah, but they have him back story and motivation.
Spoiler warning: He wasn’t purely evil for evil"s sake, he just tried to rebuild society for the scions of humanity, and had already discarded the normies (can’t remember the term they used) as primitive, albeit barbaric, creatures.
The genius of Bester is that he was so self assured and uncontested, making him almost cartoonishly evil, but also that he was so essentially human. Driving home the major themes of the series: the dangers of unchecked power, the human drive to self determination, and that wielding power over others perpetuates a cycle of violence.
