read ot&t today (brilliant fic 11/10 i love it so much) and now have the STRONGEST desire to make a shirt that says "MET GOD (WHO WAS A TREE)" simply bc it's so funny to me asdfhiasdnf
hiiii! I’m starting a new tradition, somewhat inspired by @fellshish ‘s really wonderful fanfic fridays, as well as all the incredible fic I’ve been reading lately and wanted to share!
Every Friday I’m going to share a fic I’ve read and really liked, along with a little summary and a bit of my thoughts on it (nothing spoiler-y I swear). Anyone else can feel free and encouraged to jump on with a reblog of one of their faves, something they’ve been reading, etc. (and self promo is ABSOLUTELY encouraged <333)
This week I’m starting out with Of Trees & Telepathy (Kirk/Spock 51k E) by @lemonemenom
Jim and Spock are sent on a diplomatic mission on a planet of telepathic aliens. They soon get dragged into the political machinations of the local government, though the conflict might not be so local after all…
There’s really really cool worldbuilding, wonderful spirk moments, incredible intrigue and tension building, really awesome ocs, just SO much cool stuff. This fic has so much of the alien cultural exploration that I love in Star Trek, and it’s super engaging. I read the entire thing in 1 night and I COULD NOT put it down. The mystery at the center of the story had me on the edge of my seat, and so many of the writing and style choices play into it so well!! The prose/writing are also just really really well done. I can’t stress enough how much y’all should go read this.
Hiii i love how you wrote of tree's and telepahy i have read it 2 times now and it keeps getting better the worldbuilding? The art? Top tier (also i really like how you draw <3)
i love how you read it twice! manythankyous and im glad you enjoyed!
I’m way late but I wanted to say I been involved in Star Trek fic and art for a while and trees and telepathy was honestly so inspired, one of the most in depth gripping fics I’ve read in a long time, incredible world building and attention to detail not to mention your art is fantastic, genuinely fantastic stuff incredibly jealous of how you draw Spock ❤️💖🩷💜💙🧡💛💚
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thankyou so much!!
i spent way too long on it, sank 6 months of my life into a rabbit hole spiral of worldbuilding i accidently fell into
Absolutely LOOSING my mind over @kermits-cup-of-tea PRINTING and BINDING my goddam Tos Spirk fic
MY life is so WEIRD and i LOVE IT

WILD;
so fun news about "of trees and telepathy" :)
we started off fist fighting the printer until i put this sticky note on it and then it magically worked. we will not be discussing the... far too many wasted pages from the first few attempts at printing
then came the fun part: sewing the booklets together >:)
and then it was just. so much glue, SO much glue and waiting for it to dry but now! 3 days later "Of Trees and Telepathy" is fully bound!
thank you so so much for letting me bind it <33 i had a blast, it'll be joining my few other bound fics (its a small collection rn but its growing) i didnt intend to make it so soon, however... i got hit with the must create bug and just couldnt stop myself because frankly i love binding and it was the weekend so i figured why the hell not. again, thank you for letting me do this, im so glad to have this one on my shelf <33
The fuck you MEAN you people don’t say sticky beak
I am very tired of saying words on meetings only to discover they are not universal English, but are instead informal Australian slang no one on the call understands.

everyone wants a distinct art style till you have to be really careful what you put on the internet cause your shit is so recognizable all your friends clock your stuff on sight.
I had a friend with no context clock the below as mine.
just based off the lineart
do we understand how hilarious and also dangerous that is for me.
