my favorite thing in the entire world is when it’s fall and at night it’s crisp enough to feel it but not cold enough that you can’t be outside for longer than a couple minutes. and i just. breathe. i just breathe and it’s so clear and it’s so cool and it’s getting dark and the sun’s already gone but its light is still around and i breathe. i’ve never ever ever not felt happy being outside and breathing that cold crisp evening air
there’s something so compelling about stories where a character’s virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.
Sisko’s away team have to spend the night sleeping on the ship’s bridge. Bashir is sleeptalking too loudly for anyone to ignore – but Garak, apparently, is accustomed to it. The crew decides: if anyone’s going to get Bashir to shut up, it’s his secret boyfriend.
As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:
I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you
I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you
I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you
I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase
I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all
garashir texting would be the worst fucking thing bc, like, garak’s the kind of guy who says words like “glamorous” and “delightful” in a casual sentence and julian is just Horny On Main™ with no filter
garak: darling, may i just say how elegant and charming you looked in that suit you wore on our dinner date last night
ship’s computer crashes due to virus acquired during a porn download from a lower decks ensign
firmware update was pushed out to the fleet, has vital error in the clock program that causes every computer to repeat 2300. translators have to explain to the enemy why everyone is an hour late to peace talks.
unintelligble message is sent out into the void because someone’s pet cat walked across their keyboard. message is interpreted as a marriage proposal.
universal translators break, everyone is reduced to hand gestures
viewscreen has dead pixels in the upper left corner, drives the captain a bit bonkers
space gps tells us to take a right where we should take a left. plucky recent academy grad on the graveyard shift realizes that this would take us into the sun and makes the course correction. ship’s computer advises her for two hours to make a u-turn when it is safe to do so
“siri, how do I land a space ship” is heard over the ship speaker system.
had to draw dis
It was senior staff not an ensign, but the top one happened in S02E02 of The Orville.
not to be like anti-neurotypical or whatever but adhd people with hyperfixtations and autistic people with special interests are like, literally the core of any fandom. all those fics and comics and askblogs that update daily with no signs of stopping? those theory and other fandom blogs that post content so often you wonder how much free time they have? listen, it’s amazing what you can get done when it’s literally the only thing you fucking think about. appreciate your local autistic/adhd content creators.
