[TUVOKTOBER: Day 16] Mr. Human!

#species swap voyager: Vulcan Janeway / Human Tuvok / Hologram Kes / Human Seven / Human Doctor #<- She's in the delta quadrant bc she took up her parents' work after they got assimilated and is chasing the Borg. #I think fully human or fully klingon B'Elanna would be potentially fun if they did a meet up (by which I mean it would be very angsty) #Chakotay Tom and Harry are still humans and Neelix is still Talaxian #Kes is a hologram so she can still be an age that's not entirely understandable to others. She's still an adult even though she's #technically one or two years old just like the doctor is in the canon timeline #Janeway's name in this universe is K'tryn #Also the running gag with the doctor's name is that no one knows what it is and it's only revealed at the last episode #and it IS something very boring. Important: He's not trying to hide it he just keeps getting interrupted or he's busy or a loud noise plays #st voyager #Tuvoktober #st voyager fanart #bea art tag #I was torn between making him look the same age he does on the show or making him look middle aged #since he is Vulcan middle aged but it was already difficult to make him look 'like Tuvok' instead of just some guy #Also his Human name is like 'Taylor' for that same gender neutral feel

you ever think about how MK never gets a chance to really define himself?

#had this thought while driving home #like he barely even gets any chance to place some identity other than monkie kid and delivery boy bc he always gets interrupted #every villain has their own preconceived notion on who and what he is #Demon Bull family saw him as a ‘little thief’ and ‘noodle boy’ #Spider Queen called him junior or something???? #Macky even told MK that he is nothing w/o the staff. He also projected a lot of his anger with swk to MK bc he saw a lot of similarities #LBD did one better and shattered his own self worth by feeding into his insecurities and trying to mold him into her pawn (champion? will w #ever know what she wanted and why she wanted Mac to capture mk and swk???? what was their role that she wanted them to play???) #Azure even tries to assert his own perceptions on MK in the special and oh boy how he snaps back (🥰 so satisfying) #‘Oh there’s nothing mindless about me…friend’ <- one of the rare times MK puts his foot down when other try to assume what he is #I betchu s5 will focus on MK grappling with his identity bc we laid some foundations he is ok with acknowledging it #But actually processing what this meant for him? I have a guess that he wants to avoid that #And the ironic part is that swk (if he knew which I think so) is now the one trying to get MK to communicate his thoughts and feelings #It’s swk who warned MK about the dangers of hiding or avoiding huge issues like having a giant & powerful monkey form #bc swk has spent like the past 3 seasons doing the opposite of what he’s preaching to MK at the special (this is why i love him he’s trying #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk mk #lmk qi xiaotian #qi xiaotian

The Christmas Whale has been placed.

#it was getting dark i couldn't really get a good picture #anyway happy holidays #i spent the whole day decorating and listening to christmas music #one more year where my elderly mother did not injure herself pulling the decorations from the dungeon or going up on ladders to hang stuff #because she always insists on doing that herself she gets mad when i offer because i'm implying that she's too old #i'm just waiting for the year where i have explain to the emts that my mother is hurt and i can't get to her because she's in the dungeon #and they're like “why did you a fat butch not do the heavy lifting” #because she's Like That okay i can't interrupt her flow

today should be a t break day

bc I'll need it to be more effective in the coming days if we see family, and then I'll have the survey shifts

but since late last night i keep randomly nearly breaking into tears and thinking abt the stupidest shit that needs to stay in the box in my brain

so idk. maybe it will be. it is thus far. but I'm not leaving my room without a container of some edible or another in my pocket either

#text post #no idea where the fuck this came from and it kept me up until fucking four in the fucking morning #but only NEARLY crying my body/brain still won't let me FULLY cry #and i did email my prior doc with a 'can i ask u just abt this one current symptom and if it is abt what i think & ill send u 20 bucks even' #she said no to the twenty bucks but said yeah it does sound like my ptsd has been triggered by multiple things over the last year #and the not being able to cry is a part of it. my body's trying to protect me from feeling anything abt it and breaking down #and part of that means not letting the tears fall so there's no physical acknowledgement of any feelings #which is what i was thinking was going on but it's nice to confirm it with someone who knows their shit #doesn't fix it but at least i know. #the thing is that the triggers are like. good? bc im in a healthier safer environment now with ppl that don't do what my mum & fam do to me #but it means my brain is learning just how much of a lot of it Wasn't Normal and was actually Pretty Harmful and that's. #i want my brain to just accept and get over that already tbh. okay so that's the case it doesn't change anything???? #why are we still thinking abt it and having feelings over it at this point bc that feels like a waste of time #there are no apologies I'll get for things that happened from when i was younger and there's no closure it just Is What It Is #I'm tired of even wanting to cry over it when I'd rather be throwing myself into making money & being productive art-wise #it manages to interrupt so many fucking facets of my life like #whatever. anyway considering a music au new draft where ed and izzy meet seth. and immediately offer to kill him for Pickles aksnsjfnfgj

Hii, first i want to say i love your work, thank you so much for writing them. I have a little request. How about Thena having a panic attack but fortunately Gil is there to help her.

I got a table close to the window in the back

Thena slipped her phone into her purse, looking around the restaurant from the entrance close to the bar.

Gil usually insisted on picking her up or at least walking with her for their dates. But he was getting off work and the restaurant they had chosen was close enough to her office that she said she could just meet him there. Besides, she didn't want Gil feeling like he had to worry about her all the time.

She was settling back into her life again. Her 'leave of absence' at work raised plenty of eyebrows, but she had never cared much what her insipid and needling coworkers thought of her. She always said that translation wasn't a job that required one to be social anyway.

Druig and Makkari were looking at houses, a few of which she'd seen in person. She was confident they would make a good choice for their lives going forward together.

She wanted him to feel like he could move on with his life from all this. She wanted him to feel like he could move in with Kari and start planning to propose again, and not worry about his sister in the process.

Druig deserved to feel free from that terrible night.

Thena tilted her head and then moved, trying to see if the restaurant had a semi-detached room or something.

"Watch it!"

She had to physically stumble back from the massive figure she had bumped into, as well as how it had turned around and nearly thrown her away for it. She blinked, muttering, "sorry."

"Do you have any idea how expensive this suit is?" the man continued to bark at her when all she had done was slightly bump into the back/side of him. He towered over her at a frightening height, even in her work heels.

"I said sorry," Thena muttered again. He was being a dick about it, but she was having trouble getting her eyes up to meet his. He didn't have to yell about it.

Maybe he had a change of heart, because he went quiet, only so he could lean closer to her. "Huh."

"Excuse me," she tried to squeak out and move away, but he put his arm out, trapping her there with him.

"Well, I might be willing to forgive the mistake," he purred. So, he did admit it was an honest mistake.

Thena froze as he reached out and tipped her chin up to look at him. He was so tall, and so in her space, and her father used to do that to her-

"You know," he continued, not noticing the wild look in her wide eyes and the jumpiness of her chest. "I'll let you buy me something from the top shelf to make up for it. What do you say, sweetheart?"

Thena gulped. She couldn't get a sound out. She felt like she couldn't breathe. Her chest was tight and her hands were shaking.

"Speak up, sweet cheeks," he antagonised, still unaware of or maybe enjoying her distress.

"She's with me."

Thena felt as if she would collapse when a familiar hand pulled her away from her captor. She gripped his sleeve.

"I'm sorry, Thena," Gil whispered to her as he ushered her away from the crowd and towards the table he had. "I didn't see you come in."

She shook her head. It wasn't Gil's fault that men like that jackass really still existed in the current day.

"Did you-" Gil paused, looking at her as he took her coat from her. He laid it over the back of her chair before leaning down to her. "Thena."

She looked at him. She was holding it together. She nodded.

Gil wasn't convinced. He sat across from her, holding her hands in his, "hey, Thena, look at me."

She was. She was looking at him, but she still felt her breath coming in short little puffs. She felt lightheaded and dizzy.

"Thena," Gil repeated her name to her, hoping to see some spark of recognition in her eyes. He held her hand between his and squeezed harder, "talk to me."

"I'm fine."

She obviously wasn't.

Gil pulled her hand to his cheek, ignoring the public setting around them. "What do you feel?"

Her eyes darted around over his face. Her thumb moved faintly, feeling how he had shaved this morning but he was starting to get the faintest trace of stubble, "rough."

"Good," he whispered, moving her hand to his glass of water, already full of ice and dripping with condensation, "and?"

"Cold," she muttered, her fingers settling on the smooth of the glass. She blinked, "wet."

"Good," Gil moved their fingers to wind together, pressing his nice warm palm to hers, "and what do you see?"

Thena took a longer, fuller breath, her chest and shoulders moving with it. She looked out the window, "rain."

It wasn't raining yet, but it was expected to.

"And?"

She looked back at Gil--this sweet, perfect man. Everything she could ever want and more. She smiled, "you."

He chuckled, encouraged by her improvement, "and?"

She sighed, finally regaining some air in her lungs. She looked down at the candle on the table, and then at their plates, and the bread that was admittedly rather depleted. Not that she blamed him. She peeked up at him through her lashes, "how late I am?"

Gil smiled though. "Hey, you know I don't mind. You mentioned you were held up at your office."

Really, it was taking care of some last minute work before the weekend, and then avoiding the questions of why she was so dressed up and where she was going and why she wasn't going to join them for drinks when they hadn't seen her for months.

As if the invitation wasn't just for finding out what she had been up to while she was away.

"Something like that," she sighed. It wasn't the perfect entrance she was hoping to make, but she supposed she had arrived in one piece. She smiled at him again, "thank you, Gil."

He blushed a little, always charming in his humility. He rubbed his palms on his slacks. "You know I'm happy to help, Thena--always."

Yes, he certainly was. She tilted her head at him, anchoring herself in the weight of her ponytail swinging off her shoulder. "Perhaps we should ask for more bread when we order."

He grinned, sensing some of her more playful side coming out. He pushed the little basket closer to her, "I did save you some."

Thena accepted the offered piece of ciabatta, giving him her best 'doe eyes'. "My hero."

He blushed again, much to her delight. Maybe this date wasn't beyond salvation. Gil looked around for a server.

Thena pressed her fingers against the jagged crust of the bread, feeling it in her fingertips. She was fine--things would be fine.

"Thena?"

She looked up with a smile, eager to assure him that the moment had passed. She leaned on the edge of the table, determined to have a nice date with the man of her dreams if it killed her. "How was your day?"

#Thenamesh Life Interrupted AU #I know it's been a while for this one #but I thought of it as soon as I saw panic attack #she's improving though #and not all panic attacks are the same #not all symptoms are the same #and sometimes it just hits different #but Gil is here to help of course #he's here to ground her in her senses and what's happening around her #he looked up just like everyone else did when that guy started losing his damn mind #and he thought what an asshole #and he's bothering some poor beautiful woman #and then went that's MY poor beautiful woman #they do finally have a nice date though #these poor wayward souls #Thena finally gets to just flirt and talk and have a nice night with him #it's what she deserves

theres this moment in potd when theyre in the tardis and yaz is keeping a gun on the master and the tardis lights up with the message from that traitor dalek, right? and the master is like on the plane when the doctor realised there was no pilot being all "messages from daleks?? oh no what could that mean?? the doctor getting coordinates from daleks?? oh no yaz thats so worrying" but like he obviously knows whats going on right hes just trying to get under yazs skin

and theres this moment where he says that and yaz looks at him, and looks at the gun in her hands still aimed at him, and then back at him, and like shes not stupid right she knows hes up to Something it's just not entirely clear yet exactly How hes up to something and what this dalek thing has to do with it but she trusts the doctor right so shes like "im sure theres a good reason" even though shes Clearly Having Doubts and the master says "lets hope so"

i dont really have a point i just hadnt really idk Registered this moment where she looks at that gun like

is this what he wants? am i doing what he wants? how could this possibly be what he wants?

like idk, the doubt is fun. the way the last line before this moment is "im in your head dear" and like the master didnt GET anywhere with this, right? like he wasnt gonna make yaz shake at all she was never gonna like,,,,,defect or anything. he doesnt get anywhere with this, but it does make yaz force the doctor to tell her What The Fuck Shes Doing in the next scene

it might have been interesting to see in the next scene what it might have taken for yaz to stop the doctor from going to see that dalek. like clearly shes loyal enough, or trusts the doctor's judgement more than her own so much, that if the doctor says "it's a risk i have to take" that thats enough to make yaz follow

but what if yaz had been like no i think something is actually wrong here in a way we dont understand yet and if we act now we're gonna make mistakes bc we're Missing Stuff. bc like yaz at this point is pretty fucking familiar with trying to do stuff while Missing Necessary Information, right? what if she'd been like we have a time machine, we can afford to take 5 minutes to figure out what is actually going on here before just walking into something we both know is a fucking trap

#the scene in the script is a little bit longer and slightly in a different order #which means theres like a tiny bit more pushing from yaz and pushing back by the doctor #but i think it's like a fairly good opening for like them to actually like have all that 'your enot telling me stuff' tension like #finally get released kinda for real? #i dont remember if it ever did if there ever was a moment #i mean like there never was a moment that satisfied me totally but im not sure that that moment can exist in canon #but i think this scene provides a good opportunity #for like lightning to finally strike #oh! ohh maybe Thats it #for YAZ to finally say like. her mind #she does. but like #she always backs off at a certain point #or they get interrupted #but the stakes here are so high and the doctor just asked her to aim a GUN at somebody like #in the script she says pay me that respect and thats good but if i were writing this thatd be like the start #gonna think abt it maybe i can write this scene #of course if you actually write this scene where yaz is succesful then you have to rewrite the entire following plot #um #i dont wanna do that #but maybe i can do this scene

[britneyshakespeare]

i was hanging out today w a friend i hadn't seen in awhile and kaily and i were catching up on all the drama involving him (my controlling manipulative and abusive ex-friend) and how he keeps going out of his way to ask ppl about where we are and find us and how the only reason i think i get out of it is bc i don't go to the same college as him anymore, i hardly ever leave the house socially and the few ppl i do see all have no connection w him anymore, and i don't work at some place where he can just show up. i work in pre-k-to-12 public schools. my schedule in terms of days/location is irregular anyway, but if some strange adult man shows up for no particular reason and seeks out a female employee, you do not just get let in. that is how you have the cops called on you. but he does know where i live and i have been paranoid about him finding some excuse to show up at my house. i've had legitimate nightmares about that. i never stopped having nightmares about him i'd say at least once every other week and i haven't talked to him in almost six months.

i don't like at all how i don't feel safe in a way that means i have faith that the issue is over; the person is out of my life; our communication will not be renewed against my will once again. bc all of those things have been attempted. i feel safe in a way that means he happens, by circumstance, not to be able to access me in any convenient way to him. any way he could find me (the only way to feasibly do that would be work/home) would be a justification for calling the police. but i don't have any faith that he wouldn't try, because he has shown himself as being capable of being that low. and if i switch jobs or transfer schools finally and he finds out about it, he can just make it an issue there if he so feels like it, and i'm sure he will. he's a monster. he gets some sort of thrill out of making other ppl feel unsafe and having all the control in the situation

#tales from diana #it was very validating to talk to her bc she never really liked him #in fact i used to be so humiliated when i'd bring him to hang out w my older friends #bc he'd go oooon and on and on about how nobody listens to him nobody understands him nobody cares about or appreciates him #and then i'd be like 'oh my friends are good ppl! ill introduce u' and i did. i made the effort to bring him to them a LOT #(and he would make me feel like he envied me for my oh-so-superior life which i most definitely do not have) #but then he would not listen to her not understand her not care about her and not appreciate her #nor any of my friends for that matter. but he was SO disinterested in her in particular in a way that was just sooo disrespectful #he wouldnt let me hold a conversation w her. or let me bring her into a conversation w him. he'd DOMINATE #in general he didn't like me talking to anybody else or anyone talking to anyone else or anyone else talking #ive never seen a man who cared so little about somebody else getting to finish a sentence. #and like there's a lot of adhd in our friend group. we all (myself especially) have our spirited interjections #and occasionally interrupt but we realize when we're doing it and then pull back & let the other person finish #we try to keep other ppl on track w what they were saying when they go on a tangent #you know. we try and communicate effectively #even tho we r not naturally perfect at it lol. #we're adults who respect each other it's almost like! #but yeah. he was only interested in impressing the couple of men in my friend group essentially #he'd talk abt how my two guy friends r cool & how he wants to be closer to them #and i'd stick up for this woman i hung out w today & he had just absolutely no interest in her #she never liked him anyway which was so baller of her. good on her. she detected his rudeness #and that rudeness used to vex me so much. i suppose bc i couldnt bear to see him treat other ppl how he treated me #altho to a much lesser extent w the overt lovebombing he did to me and the traumadumping and intense reliance upon me #he seriously needed my attention 24/7 it didn't matter if i was studying or working or in bed sick for two weeks #literally he and his vapid fucking needs came before everything in my life according to him. always. crazy #the entitlement of that man is ridiculous. so of course he thinks there's nothing wrong w seeking me out #of course. #i wouldnt care if he died

Been watching Young Sheldon with my grandmother at her request and she keeps yelling "Oh my god he's YOU" and "Hey you did that when you were that age" and it has taken every OUNCE of willpower not to stare at her and ask, with all the love in the world, "And still you never ONCE thought 'maybe I should get this kid tested...'"

In her defense, I was FAR less mouthy than Sheldon. Because of the Trauma.™

#I was a big “suffer in silence” type #because I believed everybody was experiencing the world the same way and I was just too weak to deal with it #I too keep gesticulating wildly at the TV and shouting “See?? He GETS it!” much to her frustration #She did say she was grateful I didn't interrupt church with my thoughts like Sheldon does #Because boy was I thinkin' thoughts but I was scared of humans especially adults #young sheldon #I'm sure the show has its problems but it's kinda nice hearing my grandmother say shit like #“I don't know how you ever made it this far having to deal with stuff like that” #Little bit of vindication tbh #Had similar interactions while watching Atypical

Idk if Sugar is Jewish but imo her snatch game as Trisha Paytas wouldve been funnier if she played on the pit crew member who's Israeli like her husband (or like. Idk how to set this one up but if she threw in a Jew-Paul)

#bclike #obv her fetishisation of jews and israelis is fucked up butlike. #girl if youre gonna be trisha then be trisha #or like #fuck nvm the bit i was gonna suggest would get copywrited #i was thinking like #when ru or anyone says a phrase that matches 2000s song lyrics then she couldve interrupted them to sing the song #if someone was mentioning something historical/scientific justlike #say something like #how she thought the declaration of independence were originally lyrics from hamilton #anyways tho this isnt a hate post to sugar ik my sense of humor can be a bit off #at least compared to media standard #but omg i was excited and a bit gagged when i first found out she was gonna do trisha #imo frenemies trisha is my absolute fav #tiktok trish too but ohmygod did frenemies provide #tony speaks

[astral-catastrophe]

It’s so weird seeing two almost similar situations happen with different people, bc I’m detached enough to see it from a non biased perspective

When it happened to me there was nothing I could do aside from call out the bad behavior and literally fight to get treated normally (and still don’t honestly it’s still not equal anywhere),

but my “friend”? Even asking from an outside source, she made it happen to herself, blew up at me over an issue she had with everyone, for something she created.

differences being I didn’t do it to myself and in both situations people attempted manipulation and I could hunt down the messages from said manipulation and the works. These situations been shared with outside people who had no bias either way, so it’s so weird to see how my not really friend right now created the issue but I didn’t

#Still a bit angry at the pall weople for treating me like shit? Mhm #Still very much debating blocking people and just moving on lmao #Next time that sort of thing happens I’m dropping everyone there #Bc so many people watched me get interrupted and skipped over and never helped #My friend on the other hand? I communicated plenty with her and included her so much but she still created this issue #Then took it all out on me after saying I did nothing wrong. I’ll fight her. And I’ll fight the weople too.

spotify now includes 15hr of audio books per month and I used part of that to listen to I'm glad my mom died thru my work shift today and. I'm glad I was the only one back there bc the faces I was making didn't need to be seen by my coworkers

#absolutely fantastic book btw #im glad i got to listen to the audiobook narrated by jeanette herself #what a heartbreaking life she's had and im so glad she's getting to live for herself now. im SO proud of her #it ended w abt half an hour left of my shift. god im so glad i did that #im glad it was p quiet out front today which meant v few interruptions in the back. #just grading over 600 pieces of clothing then tagging over half of them before it was time to go #it was nice to have smthn to plug my brain into today instead of half-listening to mbmbam like usual
