Moved here in the wake of the great tumblr nsfw purge of 2018. What's currently here are my archived posts from that blog. Multi-fandom artist and writer. I also have a DeviantArt under the same username.
In terms of character development, plot, political commentary, and costumery, Star Trek: TNG is almost certainly inferior to both DS9 or Voyager. And yet… and yet. You really have to appreciate how often the characters decide that dressing up as detectives and LARPing on the Holodeck is the best way to solve their problems.
There is literally No Reason why Holodeck characters should be programmed to notice when users are wearing Starfleet uniforms. Aliens and androids use the holodeck and it’s fine, the computer accounts for that and it’s rarely even remarked upon, but god forbid anyone neglect to cosplay. The holodeck will call you out and every character will mock you mercilessly for your dumb clothes.
space whales, dismissed by most as tall tales invented by superstitious old spacefarers who spent too long off-planet, a product of the tedium of space travel and inhaling too much recycled air, but still looked for by wide-eyed ensigns on their first expedition into deep space, and conspiracy theorists encouraged by recordings of strange and unidentified sounds, picked up by scientific research ships on their quest for further knowledge of the final frontier
star-people, said to conceal themselves amongst the gas-cloud nebulas, whose enchanting song has succeeded in turning sane men mad, abandoning protocol to steer their ships into deadly asteroid fields, or forsake civilisation in favor of the cold, unforgiving depths of uncharted space
space wyrms; great leviathans of the stars, growing to monstrous sizes in the zero-gravity atmosphere, devouring unsuspecting vessels that make the fatal mistake of crossing their path. some say they eat space whales.
I started listening to a lute playlist the other day and then someone brought up The Road to El Dorado and lo, I was contractually obligated to doodle up a modern AU OT3 where Tulio and Miguel meet Chel during spring break and they all fall in love. 90% of this happens while Chel and Miguel team up to give Tulio shit about how he would happily spend his entire vacation in a hotel room unless they were around to drag him out.
I’m actually really pleased with the way this one came out, and I hope y’all enjoy it too!
ETA: I’m sorry if the main image is showing up blurry?? I don’t know how to internet, I guess.
A little PSA about ASL for ‘Thank you’! I’ve had all of these signed to me accidentally hahaha. And whenever I sign thank you to non signers, sometimes they thought I was blowing a kiss to them. T_T
Oh oh! Make careful how you sign work too. Left hand faces down when you bring your right hand over your left to tap your wrist just twice. That means work/job. If your left hand is facing up so the inside of the wrists come together you’re asking somebody if they want to fuck.
“move this sign one inch to the left and you’ll be signing ‘penis’“
