I'll be by the Batphone, if you need to get a hold.

To the best friend I could ever wish for, thank you for obsessing over this ridiculous man and our beloved Monkeys with me again @sorethpid

Been feeling lonely even online these days, the very thing I was trying to escape from.
Wish I knew how to communicate properly with other people. Don't think I'm that good at it.
I just wish I was enough in general.

Quick blanket-statement for anyone who is thinking of sending me messages:
I am fully aware and conscious that there are problems with every Star Trek.
I understand the ongoing issues with racism, sexism, and a number of outdated ideologies. TOS-VOY (which are what I watch, other than the movies) are all products of their time and incredibly dated in many ways, and it’s wonderful that people want to point out the flaws and issues and discuss the varying ways that Star Trek could have and should have done better even for its time.
But let me make this clear: Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY) are my comfort shows. I am autistic and they’ve been my special interest for a long time now, and I cannot stress enough what that means to me. I watch them to be happy and to find a sanctuary away from the constant stressors of every day life, especially since I struggle with anxiety and depression.
I don’t want to talk about everything wrong with them. I just want to focus on the best aspects of Star Trek - the stories, the characters, the relationships. I want to talk about fascinating science-fiction concepts and the beautiful way Star Trek tried to bring important social issues to the table. I want to talk about found families who love each other, including all the ways they are strange and unique and different.
I know that there are problems and I am not ignoring them entirely - I just need a space to focus on the good things.
So please for the love of god, I don’t need people to question whether or not I’m aware of the racism or the sexism, I don’t need people coming after me because they don’t think I should enjoy specific characters, and I don’t need to be hounded about every little issue that ever existed because a bunch of (mostly) Cisgendered White Men were writing stories before we even reached the 21st century.
