15 Day BL Challenge

Sooo... I decided to do @negrowhat's 15 days BL challenge, because it sounds fun and I like looking back on what I watch. The full challenge can be found here! Disclaimer, I am not good at picking only one favorite of anything, so every day is going to be a selection (and an excuse for me to babble about the things I love ❤❤).

☆*:.｡. Day 1 - Fave OG actor pairing .｡.:*☆

A little unsure where we draw the line for OG, year-wise, so I will go pre-2019 (sorry OhmFluke my most beloved u.u).

So, truth be told, in most of the OG Thai pairing, my love is unbalanced and I have one I really like and one that leaves me more… neutral. That said, back then, I was obsessed with Copter and Kimmon from 2Moons (2017), who seemed so effortlessly charming on screen and worked the prickly pursued senior/puppy younger student pusuer delightfully.

But the ones that, for me, really stood the test of time (aka I am still ridiculously attached to them seven big year later) have to be Tak Woo Suk and Yeon Seung Ho from Long Time No See. I love them so much, I remember buying the show on vimeo just so I could watch it again and again in the best quality available.

And I need an obligatory shout out to where I started, ages ago: Japanese BL movies, and especially Tokuyama Hidenori and Saito Yasuka in Ai no Kotodama.

#BLChallenge2k24 #2Moons #Long Time No See #Ai no kotodama #let's do this! #I watched my first BL movie 15 years ago - look how far we came and all that uh! #I wanted to start the challenge on my bday but then I decided to do it today so I could end of April 1st #I made my calendar choice

What is Star Trek: La Sirena?

Most fans and more-than-casual viewers of Star Trek: Picard would probably agree that the three seasons of the show form something of an anthology. It was never officially called that, and some of the characters appear in (almost) every episode. Even some events and backstories do get referenced across season boundaries. But at the end of the day, each season is very self-contained, and many themes, storylines, and characters are limited in scope to one or two of them at the most.

Even the characterization of recurring characters can differ between seasons, from more superficial details (Agnes Jurati going by "Agnes" in S1 and "Jurati" in S2) to some deeper shifts (Elnor seeming more concerned with honour than candour in his brief season 2 cameos).

As such, some of us fans were thinking it would be helpful to have a shorthand with which to differentiate between seasons. Say you're interested in reading Saffi stories that centre the characters, themes, and characterization from season 1. It might be difficult to filter for that, since the "Star Trek: Picard" fandom tag on AO3 will contain fic that is set throughout all three seasons, and it won't always be clear where in the anthology it fits.

Or you might be writing stories about season 1 Agnes that you know won't sit right with people who expect season 2 Jurati when they filter for "Agnes Jurati", and you want to make it clear which version of the character you're writing about without using convoluted tags.

Enter Star Trek: La Sirena (suggested abbreviation: LAS). In essence, this is a shorthand to describe the first part of the Star Trek: Picard anthology. ST: LAS stories, art, gifs, meta, memes, etc centre around the characters, events, relationships, and themes from PIC season 1. They can be prequels, set during season 1, or take the end of season 1 as a jumping-off point to spin new stories from there (think: the sort of art/meta/fic/... you would have made before season 2 came out or if the show had been cancelled after season 1).

A Few Examples (or: is it Star Trek: La Sirena?)

A fic about the crew of La Sirena going on wild adventures after the end of season 1? That is basically what this tag was invented for! A gifset of Elnor and Soji's outfits throughout season 1? Absolutely! The story of how Seven came to join the Fenris Rangers, exploring her relationship to the work and what it means for her characterization post-Voyager? Yes please! Meta about how Hugh would have survived the crash of the Borg Cube and what the protected status of Coppelius and the defeat of Oh's armada mean for his work with the xBs? We'd be lucky to have it! A fic about how Raffi and Rios met that involves six OC's and a bunch of semi-sentient holograms? Sure! A Victorian AU, where Jean-Luc Picard, Duke of La Barre, has to navigate the uncertainties of (near) fatherhood when he suddenly finds himself with a young ward, Dahj Asha, after the mysterious disappearance of her parents overseas? Hell yes! (Also: Zhaban is his butler and Laris his housekeeper. Just saying.)

On the other hand: A discussion of how season 2's evil!La Sirena compares to her prime-universe counterpart? Doesn't really fit. A fic about Agnes and Shaw meeting at the academy and becoming fast friends? Also not really, since Shaw is very firmly a season 3 addition. Meta about Seven's changing hairstyles from VOY to season 1 to seasons 2 & 3? That is more general PIC territory, rather than LAS specifically. A gifset comparing the Troi-Rikers from TNG with their appearance in Season 3? Probably not. Not even if it also includes season 1.

All of these things are wonderful and we're lucky to have them in the Picard fandom! But they don't necessarily fit the brief of "Star Trek: Picard, if it had been cancelled after season 1."

Of course, none of this is an exact science! Say you wrote a post-canon story back in 2020, before we got any details about season 2. And say, by sheer coincidence, it includes Agnes breaking up with Rios and going off on a diplomatic mission with Soji, while Rios and/or Raffi join Starfleet. Does that fall under the LAS umbrella or not? At that point (and many, many similar ones), I'd say it's up to your own best judgement.

Where do I find/post Star Trek: La Sirena Stuff?

A bunch of people have started tagging their tumblr posts with "star trek la sirena" (or "star trek: la sirena". I'm afraid the variability is a cornerstone of the Trek-tumblr tagging experience 😅). It's not much yet, and a lot of things are reblogs, so they won't show up in the regular tag search. But hopefully, we can get this tag into more wide-spread use to make it easier for season 1 enthusiasts to find stuff they're interested in. (If you tag this blog in the replies to a post you think fits the brief, I will reblog it!)

Some writers have also added "Star Trek: La Sirena" to the fandom tags of their relevant fics on AO3. It's usually in addition to "Star Trek: Picard", since it falls into both categories, so it's more an additional filtering option/sub-fandom.

I'm not entirely certain this tagging is going to be permitted by the AO3 tag wranglers. I have written to AO3 support about this and am currently still waiting to hear back. I think there are precedents for similar sub-fandom distinctions, but I'm not sure what the logistical considerations might be behind canonizing a new fandom tag. If AO3 comes back asking people to re-tag their fic or deciding they won't be able to canonize the "Star Trek: La Sirena" fandom tag, we'll decide on a different tagging convention. I'll post here if and when I get a reply to my email.

Speaking of:

A Quick Note on the Role of this Blog

I'm not the fandom police. At the end of the day, this is an entirely made-up category, and how you interpret its boundaries is up to you. My goal here is not to exclude anyone or tell people they're doing fandom wrong, it's to make it easier for fans of one specific part of a very heterogeneous show to find art and stories and discussions they're interested in.

I want to really emphasise this: I'm not the high priestess of this fandom tag. I'm not the authority on what does and doesn't count. If you have a story or post that you think might be well-suited to be tagged as "Star Trek: La Sirena", but you're unsure, I'm happy to chat about it and give you my take, and/or to reblog it here and hopefully open the floor to others' opinions. If you think something I posted or reblogged doesn't really fit, please let me know, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

Mostly, I just want this blog to get the ball rolling for people in this corner of the Picard fandom to find each other and have an easier time sharing their work and their passion with each other.

So, that's what I'm doing here. If you have any ideas for events we might get up to as a community (I still dream of one day having a fanfic book club :D), posts you'd like me to reblog, meta you'd like to share, or anything else that might bring your fellow fans joy, I'm always eager to hear about it!

Thank you for coming along on this ride on our little speed freighter! I hope we'll all find community and a lot of fun with Star Trek: La Sirena!

The thing I love about the way Junho picks his projects is that there's always intent behind it that's not always obvious at face value. And it's not even necessarily because he thinks the script is good or that it'll be a hit, but there's always something new he's challenging himself with. It's why I'll always give his work a try, bc he'll find a way to make his character interesting.

True!

It seems to me like Junho wants to try and play every type of character. Each drama he's in features vastly different types of personalities (Just Between Lovers, Wok of Love, The Red Sleeve Cuff, Confession, Chief Kim and even a Chaebol in King The Land)

and Honey the RANGE!

And now since he's already done a saeguk, I can't wait to see what's next for him knowing it won't be that (lol Sorry - garbage human here ;-).

Maybe he'll do a fantasy or time slip next???

Hi, um I was wondering if you could do Legend comforting reader after nightmare?

Absolutely! Coming right up!

Masterlist

Content under the cut!

Legend wasn’t one to sleep deeply.

He was fast on his feet, quick to react and quick to gather information and sue it to his advantage. So when he woke up to the fight sounds of fear, he was quick to sit up and look around.

It was a little hard to do considering the bleariness in his eyes still but he was determined to find the source. One look to his right showed Time, Twilight, Wild, Warrior and Wind borderline huddled together. He has no idea how they got to be like that but he’s going to find a way to take a photo before he sleeps again. A look to his left shows Hyrule, Sky, Four and himself spread across the rest of the camp and then there was you.

You were crying.

Now that... that just hurts.

Legend sits up completely, brushing The Traveler’s arm from his body and places it gently by his side. He makes a move and goes to wake you up.

He doesn’t know much about you or your adventures... or why you’re even with this group if you’re not a Link, but he knows the pain. He knows the struggle and the kind of hell of your own making- one that your own traitorous mind can concoct for you in the dead of night. 

He moves and shakes your shoulders as rough as he can. No time to be gentle when time is of the essence.

You awake with a gasp for air and choked startled cry.

“Easy, easy.” Legend, gently now, runs his hands over your shoulders. “You’re ok. We’re all here. No one is hurt. We’re safe. You’re safe.”

You struggle to breath and frantically sit up, brushing your hair from your face and scan the camp site. You swallow a rough patch of dried spit. It’s enough to make Legend cringe at the sound. He can only imagine how useless that must have felt.

You scramble to get on your knees, looking for a threat that wasn’t there to begin with. Legend watches, keeping his distance just in case you decide to be reckless and someone needs to stop you.

He clear his throat quietly. You snap your head to him as if he had set off a bomb instead. He smile the best he can. “Want to talk about it?”

You sniffle and wipe your face furiously. Legend thinks it’s kind of cute. Like a mouse washing their face. You take another deep breath and lower yourself back down to the ground and pull your blanket over yourself. “No... I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Good, I didn’t want to hear about it.” He replies naturally.

The way the words leave his mouth so callously leave you stunned and scrambling to find a way to make sense of it. Legend reaches over and around Sky to grab his own blanket and yanks it toward himself. He flops over and lands next to your pillow.

“Come on.” Legend pokes your side.

You follow him wordlessly and still struggle to figure out his play. He seems to be nonchalant and uncaring.... but this isn’t his typical behavior.

Legend gets tired of waiting for you and instead pulls you close and on top of him. He doesn’t hesitate to put your head on his chest and start going through your hair like you were sweethearts.

“You know. I knew a guy once that had an obsession with purple rabbits.” He says quietly. “Everything he had, had one. He even wore a purple bunny cloak and wore the hood as a mask so I couldn’t see his face. He was a greedy son of a-.... anyway. We’re friends now. And I’m sure that he’s turned my house into a shop again now that I’m here traveling with the group.”

You have no idea what’s happening.

But his attention to your hair is soft and tender and feels nice. His heartbeat is strong, sturdy and comforting in your ear. And Legend’s voice is just distracting enough where you don’t feel the need to keep lingering on the dream and images of your less than desirable past.

You don’t have a clue what Legend is talking about. And the way he quietly speaks commands attention. He’s distracting you. And every is nice and safe and calm.

You’re so tired from the fitful sleep and you’re trying too hard to pay attention to Legend’s words as he rambles and speak non stop about anything and everything. His words start to blur together and his hands are soon the only thing you can really focus on until you can no longer keep your eyes open.

His voice is finally completely muffled. It’s simply a sense of warmth that surrounds you now and you drift off. His heartbeat ticking away rhythmically in a hushed lullaby.

You drift back off to sleep in no time at all.

Legend never gets his picture of the other half of the group but when he wakes up to you still curled up in his arms, tear stains on your cheeks with a muted smile on your lips. Legend knows he did the right thing.

remembers that Phoenix has a reputation in-universe for showing off his badge at every turn

He shows his trinkets off because he wants to share his happiness with people. First the necklace, now the Attorney's Badge.

That thing - in terms of making Phoenix happy - is on-par with a gift from a former lover

Excuse me.

AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!

The fact they turned an inside-joke about players showing a useless piece of evidence into a strong bit of characterisation blows me away and makes me love this god damn idiot even more.

I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

I didn't try last year, between field work and my dissertation, but decided I'd go for this year. Unfortunately, this year I'm starting a job, and also just moved countries, but I made my decision and I'm sticking with it :) I'm stubborn like that!

I'll be working on my original work, a fantasy version of the story of Boudica set in a universe I originally built for an ongoing D&D game, which has taken on a life of its own in my imagination! So far I've written the prologue and part of the first chapter, and a decent outline, so I'll be picking it up from there after almost a year of letting it sit around. It's my first time writing an original, novel-length work, but hopefully I can at least get the words on the page for my shitty first draft :)

I'll be posting updates on my word count and, just for fun, the last line that I write with each update - hopefully you all will enjoy the sneak peek! (If not, you can block "mayhaps a novel" for the month of November :) )
