Ways to say "I love you" / prompts
You're a miracle I've been waiting for my whole life.
I wake up only because of you.
I'm living for you.
You're the reason I'm still alive.
I take my every breath for you.
You saved me. And I'm incredibly thankful for that.
You're the most important person in my life.
For you, I'd steal the stars.
My life has no meaning without you.
I'm incomplete without you.
I don't know how to live without you.
No one will ever be able to replace you.
Losing you is not an option.
This world doesn't make sense without you in it.
I'm not going anywhere.
You're not alone.
As long as I have you, I have a reason to live.
All I ever wanted is there in your eyes.
You're the only one on my mind.
You got that power over me...
Living without you is not an option.
I'm lost without you.
I love you too much to not care.
I could bear the thought of losing him. It's you I can't bear the thought of losing.
I never thought I could fall for you so hard.
You're my world.
I wanna have a family with you.
You're my night sky full of stars.
You matter to me. A lot.
How could I ever love someone else?
You mean the world to me.

Which Star Trek series should you start with?
The Original Series: Advantages: + The one that started it all + Has some sophisticated and socially conscious science fiction that has held up exceptionally well + The lead characters all have really good chemistry and fun to see play off of one another Disadvantages: - It can feel very dated and kind of sexist, particularly in its treatment of women - The sci-fi and social commentary may have held up, but damn it, the special effects really haven't - When TOS is bad, it's really, really bad.
The Animated Series: Advantages: + Basically just more TOS. Disadvantages: - Basically just more TOS, but substituting extremely cheap animation for bad special effects
The Next Generation: Advantages: + Probably the most popular one at this point + The crew is full of interesting characters and they're fun to spend time with + Just really smart people solving Space Mysteries + Socialist space utopia + Geordi-And-Data! + Lots of cool sci-fi concepts and social commentary Disadvantages: - Although not in the same way as TOS, it can feel dated at times, particularly in terms of its treatment of women and it's near complete refusal to acknowledge queerness - Without wanting to bias viewer opinion, the first season is widely considered to be pretty bad - The series makes no bones about the fact that the socialist space utopia is better than every other society that has ever existed and will reiterate this point over and over again
Deep Space Nine: Advantages: + The most popular Trek series on Tumblr + Has a complete story arc, as well as arcs for all of its characters, including the extremely minor ones + Plain, simple, Garak. The humble tailor. + Garashir, if you're into that + Seriously has a really sophisticated treatment of things like post-colonial politics, anthropology, worldbuilding, and the horrors of warfare + Just the characters in general + Is the only Star Trek prior to the 2010s to even look meaningfully at queer representation Disadvantages: - Has an absolutely massive inferiority complex with respect to TNG and this drives a few poor writing decisions that seemingly exist just to poke the Socialist Space Utopia in its eye - Introduces a space religion and then just slowly turns it into Christianity with the numbers filed off - Seems to think that sexual harassment is just a quirky eccentricity - There's no women in its writers' room, and frankly it shows
Voyager: Advantages: + Probably the clearest instance of found family in space + Lots of really good episodes + Lots of fun new characters + Strong female role models + "Set a course...for home." Disadvantages: - Continuity? I never knew her! - Probably about 90% of Trek's reputation for technobabble comes from this one series - Even less queerness than TNG. - Only like...3 characters actually get arcs. - How do these guys have warp drive but can't find any water?
Enterprise: Advantages: + Chronologically the first series + 90% less technobabble + The only series to plausibly frame our heroes as astronauts...on some kind of...star trek. + Still has probably the best production values of any series + Makes alien cultures of the week feel somehow richer and deeper than other series + Faith of the Heart is good, fuck you. Disadvantages: - Oh my god, the decon scenes - Seriously, if you've ever wondered what a "sexy" series written by a 14 year old boy who's only ever seen a bit of scrambled softcore porn on late-night cable would be like, this is the show for you - Somehow feels more sexist and racist than the show from the '60s - Seriously, the POC characters mostly exist to fill seats on the bridge; the women constantly have to undress themselves - Hellooooo, Bush II-era political analogies - Scott Bakula is a good actor but you wouldn't know it from this series - In season 3, they add a tambourine beat to Faith of the Heart and ruin it
Discovery: Advantages: + Noticed the lack of queer characters in the first 50 years of Star Trek canon and decided to make up for lost time + Seriously, the "Bury Your Gays" tally for this series is like...negative two + Just incredible representation in general + Some really good science fiction plots, particularly in later series + Some really fun, memorable characters Disadvantages: - Makes Elon Musk out to be one of the great visionary geniuses of history - Not really representative of Star Trek as a whole - The series swerves wildly in tone because of constant, behind-the-scenes churn in the writers' room - Offputtingly grimdark first season - Let's be honest, none of the season-long arcs have actually had satisfying conclusions - Half the cast feels like it's just there for exposition and to be killed for cheap drama
Picard: Advantages: + Has the best dramatic acting of any Star Trek series by a fair margin + Has the best musical score of any Star Trek series + Introduces a whole crew of fascinating new characters + Introduces all kinds of fascinating transhumanist concepts + AGNES. JURATI. Disadvantages: - You know all of those fascinating new characters that I mentioned? Yeah, it unceremoniously gets rid of all of them to bring back the old TNG gang. - You know that all of those fascinating transhumanist concepts that I mentioned? Yeah, it gets rid of those too so that to give us some generic action - Oh my god, someone teach the set designers to operate a fucking light switch - Grimdark - Nossssstalgia - Depends so heavily on TNG that its final season is basically unwatchable if you haven't already seen a 30-year-old TV series
Lower Decks: Advantages: + It has probably the most efficient storytelling that I've ever seen; seriously, it's incredible how much it can fit into a half hour episode + It has a bunch of delightful, archetypical characters you get to know and love + You like hanging out with these people + The ship is kind of crap and you will learn to love it that way. + Basically a sitcom version of TNG. Disadvantages: - The art style is pretty Rick & Morty-ish - It takes most of its first season to really strike a good balance between being a sitcom and being a Star Trek series - The main character, Mariner, is kind of unlikable for the first season or so (she gets better) - Lots of callbacks to other series (though always either incidental or clearly explained) - Given that it's the first Star Trek sitcom, the comedy is honestly kinda the weakest part? Subjective I know.
Prodigy: Advantages: + Absolutely gorgeous to look at; the most visually stunning Star Trek by quite a ways + Lots of fun new characters on a cool ship + Gives you clear on-boarding notes to the Star Trek franchise if you're watching it for the first time + Can be watched on its own, but also works as a direct sequel to Voyager and a prequel to Picard (making both of them retoractively better, in fact) + Kind of like the Clone Wars or Rebels of the Star Trek universe, I guess? + Found family in space! The next generation! + Written for a younger audience. Not necessarily an advantage, but nice if you happen to like family friendly animation or YA. Disadvantages: - *sigh* You basically need to pirate it. Thanks, Paramount. - Has a second season that we may or may not ever actually get to see even through piracy. Thanks, Paramount.
Strange New Worlds: Advantages: + Basically what the original series would be if it were released today, rather than 57 years ago; all of the cool, socially consciousness sci-fi adventure, none of the weird 60s sexism + Fun, awesome characters you get to like spending time with right away + Incredible visuals + Nifty sci-fi concepts, mostly without the 90s-style technobabble Disadvantages: - A huge cast with only ten episodes a season, so many of them feel underdeveloped - Unfortunately, a bunch of its characters are younger versions of the characters from The Original Series, and they hog most of the spotlight; and the characters whose futures aren't locked in stone are kind of treated as disposable - In general, it needs to spend less time being a prequel, and more time being its own thing - "What if Starfleet ran into the Xenomorphs from Alien?" "Well, they'd probably kill them." "Okay, let's spend several episodes on this."

so much about amatopunk for me is not just about broadly rejecting how you're supposed to love someone and in what ways (relationship structures for instance), but also the things that come as a result of that
for instance the idea that women have to look a certain way to be attractive to men. being forced to wear makeup or certain outfits or act a certain way even if they don't want to. or men having to make themselves unhealthily dehydrated to be seen as "ripped" in movies, causing people to think that's how people look in the real world (it's not). or nonbinary people having to be this "sleek sexy androgynous" stereotype in order to still be seen as palpable to binary people
so much of amatonormantivity ties into other forms of oppression, like misogyny, transphobia and homophobia, alongside of course aphobia, ableism, and anti-polyam beliefs
so honestly i do not think i could be cpunk, dyspunk, or contrary to gender roles if i wasn't also amatopunk. my disability and my gender and my transness are integral to it and vice versa. i would not be so comfortable dressing however i want pre-T if i hadn't accepted that i don't exist to be eye-candy. i wouldn't be so comfortable with being an unlabelled, vague part of the ace and aro spectrums if i didn't already know that me and my relationships and my attraction aren't there to be easily explainable either. i wouldn't be so comfortable with the idea of getting a cane if i didn't recognize that i don't need to look how people do in the movies to be comfortable in my skin, and that mobility is more important than being aesthetically pleasing to abled people

gay rant time. :)
i cried a little bit today. it's the beginning of pride month, and watching a video about the owl house made me realize how INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that show is. like, it finally downed on me.
we have a latina protagonist, with a darker skin tone, who likes both boys AND girls, and has a crush on this other little witch who also likes girls. and they're the main couple. THE MAIN COUPLE. on a DISNEY show. not side characters, not just an implied non confirmed crush, no. we see it all. we see them blush, ask each other out, share their past with each other, share their first kiss. we get actual development of a MAIN SAPHIC COUPLE!! that's INCREDIBLE. it's ACTUALLY DEVELOPED. Not just thrown out there on the last season with no development at all (all representation is important tho, don't get me wrong).
it's literally so important for kids to see this. to see two girls holding hands, explicitly saying they're dating, kissing. it's incredibly important to show them that it's okay. but it's also important for the parents, to see that hey, maybe they've been wrong about some things. a sense of acceptance, a new perspective on the world... i wish i got that. you know?
it also makes me extremely emotional the fact that: cartoons like adventure time, svtfoe, gravity falls, regular show, and etc have been part of my childhood, of my generation's childhood. these cartoons have marked us, changed our senses of humor, the ways we see the world, have made us laugh and are now nostalgic for us. “remember gravity falls?” “oh yeah, it came out when i was seven. i still love it!”
and now — now cartoons like the owl house, shera, amphibia, dragon prince, they'll ALL mark the NEXT generation. these incredible, representative, fun, beautifully animated cartoons, will shape other children just like the cartoons i mentioned before did for us. and that makes me so, so happy. it's a weird feeling, this proud sensation deep in my chest that makes me wanna bawl my eyes out in the best way possible. there's couldn't be any better medias for the next generation than these.
so thank you. thank you to every single person who's fought for our rights, to the creators of shows like this, to the animators, everyone. happy pride. <3

So I've figured it out. Stede is in a period Drama, he's Bridgerton, he's Downton Abbey, he's Jane Austen, right? Ed and Izzy are in Black Sails, all they do is commit heinous acts of murder and have gay sex, they're gritty realism, they're drama. The crew of the Revenge is muppet treasure island, of course. And everyone else (Spanish Jackie and her husbands, the badminton twins, Fang and Ivan, Nana) are in Pirates of the Caribbean, they aren't sure weather they're in a drama or a comedy but they know for a fact that they are in a pirate movie. Ed and Stede are both tired of their respective genres, they want to become muppets. They're doing their best at being muppets, Stede is tired of the high society, Ed is tired of the murder. They both want to relinquish their flesh suits in favor of felt bodies and pingpong ball eyes. Fang and Ivan are jar of dirting their way through life. They are integrating well into muppet society, they are enjoying their free Muppet passes. They are willing to be Tim Curry until it stops serving them. Izzy is desperately clinging to Black Sails, he thinks everyone else thinks they're still in Black Sails, and he is endlessly frustrated that everyone including Ed is acting like muppets. He can handle a little bit of Pirates of the Caribbean but he was comfortable with his gritty realism pirate genre and he is going to be a problem for everyone who doesn't want to engage with that.
Now, Calico Jack does complicate things. Because, despite being from Ed and Izzy's world, he is, never the less, a Muppet, specifically Animal. He may have done in reverse what Ed and Stede are trying to accomplish. Where he fully integrated into gritty realism pirate society despite his orange, felty, ping pong ball eyed physical form, and was accepted fully but can still engage with his true Muppet nature when surrounded by other muppets.
I call it Muppetification and demuppetification respectively. I have never seen a single period Drama, I have never seen black sails, I haven't seen pirates of the Caribbean since I was 9, and I haven't seen a Muppet movie since I was 12. how did I do? Someone please tell me if I'm right.
