#he said we were stars

[catharusustulatus]

I just love how Steve Harrington was supposed to be killed off after a couple of episodes but Joe Keery was so charming and so likable they rewrote the whole season and show to keep him alive like he really Darren Criss’d it. He is that bitch. He gave the Duffers the ol razzle dazzle and now he IS the show for most normies. My uncle who has never watched ST and doesn’t even have Netflix loves Steve on vibes alone. The people’s prince.

#stranger things #steve harrington #Joe Keery #he just showed up on set with his big puppy dog eyes and princess Diana hair and said I’m stealthy like a ninja #and the duffers were like okay I guess we’ll keep him #and now he’s the star #at least he is in my book #and I bet if Eddie comes back it will be for the same reason #since they mentioned they regretted filming the death scene first after realizing how charming Joe Quinn was #we shall see

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

#I’ve said my piece goodnight #don’t play with me Mace Antis I have receipts for every last one of these #pretty much everyone agrees that he was the best duelist there was and he obviously won the fight #Anakin's choice wouldn't make thematic sense otherwise #also vader did not defeat palpatine in combat sorry he just grabbed him while he was distracted #it literally had to be a fair fight and Anakin had to be the one to choose to create the empire that's what the prequels are about #Star Wars databank calls him ‘revered’ shatterpoint tells us he was the youngest (real) member of the council #Boba Fett (tcw) and Prosset Dibs (comics) tried to kill him and he asked for amnesty and forgave them #literally just watch the Ryloth arc he spends most of his screentime saving his men #in tcw season seven he pleads with the battle droids to surrender hoping that no one else has to die #there's the part near the end of tcw where the council realizes that the clones were created by Dooku but Mace and the rest of the council #trust the clones so much they're willing to ignore it #the scene from Mace's POV in the rots novelization talks about how much he loves the republic and how he was blindsided by Anakin's betraya #because he trusted him!! we see in aotc that he has more faith in Anakin's abilities than Obi-wan #and he defeated the most powerful sith of all time single-handedly #BEST JEDI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #sw prequels #star wars prequels #prequel trilogy #sw prequel trilogy #star wars prequel trilogy #sw rots #star wars rots #revenge of the sith #star wars revenge of the sith #galactic republic #pro mace windu #mace windu #pro jedi order #pro jedi

Ignore all logistical considerations of "would they ever meet each other under these circumstances". If you don't think Jules Bashir would have chosen to join Starfleet, imagine he is on the station for some other reason, or they meet in some other location.

I wanted to make this poll because I've seen various fics where Garak reassures Julian that far from being upset over him being augmented, Garak is grateful for it, either explicitly because (he thinks) they wouldn't be able to have their usual conversations if it weren't for the augmentations, or simply because he likes Julian "just the way he is" and wouldn't want him to be "different". I disagree that Garak would think like this (or at the very least, I think Julian would react negatively if he did, rather than be reassured), so I wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts.

#garashir #Star Trek: Deep Space 9 #this is not just a shipping question btw so please answer whether you view them platonically/romantically/whatever! #Julian Bashir #polls #Starky's original posts #I'll admit. to me there is a very clear right and wrong answer here. #again not in terms of Garak's characterization so much as in terms of JULIAN'S. #I would be fine if Garak said this and Julian felt at least somewhat conflicted about it but I've never seen even that........ #I've wanted to make this post for SO LONG but it's a very common thing in a lot of fics that I otherwise REALLY LIKE #from authors that I REALLY LOVE AND ADMIRE #and I have no idea if I'm just being completely insane and oversensitive OTL #but I just read yet another fic where Garak was like ''I have no choice but to be grateful you were genetically enhanced #because Jules would never have joined Starfleet so we never would have met.'' #and I just want to yell WHY DO YOU ALL ASSUME THAT #like not even getting into assuming that Jules would be permanently significantly intellectually disabled #based on limited information about his early childhood developmental delays #but more importantly assuming he wouldn't (read: couldn't. because I KNOW that's what you mean.) end up on the station #You! Star Trek fan! Do you think people with intellectual or learning disabilities are allowed in Starfleet? Answer quickly! :) #sorry I told you I've held onto this for too long. and now I'm a deranged bitch about it :|

haunted that lestat is like 21 yrs old leading a society. the other vampires should’ve iced his ass years ago on basic principle. well… i guess they tried several times but like a roach he persevered. I feel like they keep him around bc he’s the only one bringing interesting events to the community he’s like a human soap opera he’s like the personification of Murphy’s law. like he should be sucking and fucking his way across the globe having the vampire equivalent of a spring break trip to malibu as god intended but instead he’s doing paperwork and ruling a society….that’s cruel and unusual punishment for him AND the society like that is NOT his natural environment……..they should put him down humanely….send him to a nice farm upstate where all the other problem-causers run free in the fields etc but no he has the endurance capacity of a New York City roach with immortality to match and he just keeps getting more powerful and more manic-pixie-dream-girled so vampiric society gives up on trying to squash that gay bug and instead puts him in a jar to observe in captivity because the bug is easily the most thing to happen to their society in centuries. he’s like the sliced bread of vampires they’re like what did we even DO before lestat???????? and none of them can even answer because the worlds two oldest living vampires are ALSO obsessed with him. I’d tell them to get well soon but it’s just unrealistic at this point

#it’s INSANE ITS LIKE. what if our sluttiest dumbest hottest vampire who we all hate was the ruler of our society #if I were robert head of the vampiric finance committee I’d walk into the sun #that being said it’s absolutely the funniest outcome. So like. commitment to the bit is essential #it’s easily the most insane shit the vampire community has ever experienced #and then on top of it they all live in a massive recreation of his childhood home like he’s created a captive audience #an all-star cast of the real housewives of vampirism #this is a lestat positive post btw I love his crazy ass ❤️ #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire lestat #interview with the vampire #the vampire chronicles #m watches iwtv

i’m the anon who told you that you were warm 👋

you ARE warm. of course i’m still here. everyone, and that includes you!, deserves to have that recognition and appreciation :)

you provide such an amazing environment for me in this steddie life and beyond. i have a steddie sideblog and i love my little corner (nobody interacts with me but still)

SENDING HUGS TO YOU AND EVERYONE THAT READS THIS 🫂

let me tell you something about warmth

so last weekend my brother got married and my dad gave a little speech. he's good at that, talking in front of people without making it a big deal, drifting off and still making it seem like it's part of the speech.

and he said something that he told me a while ago already, something he would mention to me once or twice throughout all of my life. a sacred little something.

he said, "boy, this speech right here is one of three most important speeches i've held for you. you didn't hear the other two, but you can hear this one. the first was just when you were born, i was sitting on the balcony and talking to the stars, telling them about my little boy and all the things i wanted to to better than my parents did.

"the second one you didn't hear either because you were asleep and i was sat by your beside, telling you about your new baby sister (me, dio) and that you were a big brother now.

"and now, the third one, in front of all these people who love you and appreciate you. and i look into this room and feel a certain calm, knowing you have so many friends who have your back, and even more you couldn't invite, because if you were to invite everyone who loved you, we'd need a bigger room or three. and that's all a parent could want. there's barely more for me to say here, so let me say it in the words of men who are wiser than your old man.

"may the force be with you, and with your love. and may you live long and prosper, but most importantly, in love."

#that's the man who raised me #and no fight we have and no difference we have could ever erase the fact that he was sat there on the balcony and telling the stars about #his two little babies when we were born. nothing can erase that. i like to think sometimes that this is where i get my thing for the stars #it wasn't a big speech this one and it was said rather casually but it will live inside me for a while. so let me tell you about warmth. #and let me share it. some of y'all like the stories about my parents especially when they're connected to stars so <3 #i hope this makes someone smile. it makes me cry 🤍 #🤍

CORRECT THANK YOU FOR SHARING

#submission #I actually have seen this meme because someone sent it to my supervisor at some point and she showed it to all of us ajdbkajs #working with a bunch of gay autistic math nerds fucking rules lmfao y'all have no idea #one of my bosses is super into sci fi and is also a math teacher and puts star trek and firefly and buffy and hitchhikers guide etc etc #references in EVERYTHING he makes. I took a math class from him once and all of the test questions were about some fuckin show #whenever he runs meetings he asks us questions based on star trek usually. recently in a meeting he asked us to choose the best captain #I'm one of only like 3 people who watches all of this shit so I looove going to meetings when he runs them #bc he'll ask some fuckin question like who's the best star trek captain. and the 3 of us who knows what's going on will just start arguing #while everyone else looks around like what the fuck is going on right now (this one always gets the newbies) #my ALL TIME favorite Jake moment tho was when I was there one night and there were no students so we were all just hanging out #and Jake walks out of his office and he looks kind of annoyed. and he's a big dude like super tall and broad and loud as hell #so I can hear him like mumbling shit all annoyed and I'm like hey Jake what's up? you doin ok? #and he sighed and was like no. the schools internet filter started blocking my FAVORITE board game forum #and now when I have a thought I can't just look it up to see if anyone's said anything about it. and that's like ALL I do. it's so annoying #and I was like Jake maybe that's why they blocked it akddjkansbdjsdbebs #god I love that dude. and this barely mentions my other supervisor who is autistic and pansexual and married to a woman #and both of them foster several kids. Jake has like 10 fuckin kids or smth bc he was fostering a couple of kids and then he got married #and she already had children and then they had a baby together. idk he's got like a whole baseball team they're very cute

i feel like the fact that barely anyone who watches the show thinks of will as the main character might be indicative of the fact that he isn't

#and like i say: brf slt #just realized i said the fact twice. this was worded differently at first #i'm very sorry #(not about the the fact thing about the will mc thing) #if you ask anyone who the main character is after seasons 3 and 4 they'll say el #it's not the el show and will is just as if not more important to the supernatural plotline like obviously nothing would've happened if he #hadn't gone missing and he has a connection to vecna no one else has and #everyone's love for him is basically what makes all of s1 happen #but he's literally not there. i've seen people watch the show for the first time recently and guess who was the main character to them #while they were watching the first two seasons? mike! literally elliott in E.T and the YA protagonist in the middle of a love triangle why #does everyone take his main boy status away from him...we first meet the characters at HIS house in HIS basement we see HIS family first #it's HIM we follow all throughout season 1 in the kids part of the show basically like idk #yes he's not el and he's not will in terms of connection to the supernatural but like #in seasons 3 and especially in season 4 you don't really think of him as the main character anymore but literally no one but bylers think #of will as the main character like i'm just saying. i don't think trying to pick a definite main character makes sense anyway because #there's kind of a shift around season 3 where it becomes...the el show. even if it doesn't not really. but it's not like people are crazy #and Media Illiterate for thinking that the biggest character on the posters whose actress is the biggest star and who gets paid the most is #the main character. don't people complain 24/7 about how little screentime will got in seasons 3 and 4 like obviously that would lead to #people...not seeing him as the main character #anyway. to me in seasons 1 and 2 it's between mike and el honestly and if you add seasons 3 and 4 then el #even though will is just as important like i said. it's just very different #but honestly in season 1 it's totally mike to me it's only in season 2 that i would start to hesitate #there's also joyce but i don't think anyone's saying joyce is the main character but yk i don't know if you know this but it's an ensemble #show... #it's definitely the willel show in a sense but... #mike is the protagonistest protagonist in season 1 how do people forget that #having to fight for your life to convince people that will is the main character kind of proves that he isn't😭 #and i still think he's the most important which doesn't make sense i know but idk it makes sense to me

Ever since finishing Journey I've been restless, without a creative focus, and without even many mundane demands since my kids are all in school now.

It's a real trip, by the way, going from a decade-plus spent as a 24/7 on call caregiver with barely the time to form a full coherent thought, to... a pampered housewife with few demands on her time.

I keep asking Sam if I should get a real job. Our "deal" -- which was only ever the deal that I proposed, and clung to, throughout those hard years when even being by myself in the shower felt like a snatched luxury...the deal was, that after the crunch was over, I'd get two years to write and market a novel.

Well. Journey took five years to write, and hasn't been sold yet. But it's still useful for me to be home and flexibly "on call" for childcare in case of illness or Sam having an out-of-town conference or whatever, and also I do still cook every night. I'm not entirely useless. Just...mostly.

One day not so long ago Sam came into the bathroom in the middle of the day, when I was having a luxurious candlelit bubble bath soak. "Should I...get a job?" I asked weakly.

"Nah," he said. "You're fine. You do plenty."

But I objectively do...not that much. I have SO MUCH time in the day now, I have hella time, and I'm not even writing. Journey is in the slush pile with Baen and I don't have a current project. I'm getting itchy and restless with it. It's like I'm retired at 47.

I don't have a conclusion for this. It's just where I am. It's not a bad place by any measure; no, I'm incredibly lucky. I've always been so fucking lucky.

#I don't even think it was ever my luck #I think it was Sol's #so I should not count on it going forward but I'm so glad he has it because he really needs it #and the thought that I'll be here for him so long as he needs me is very comforting so I'll continue to believe it #I know that I'm smart and I know that I'm a good writer but also I know that mostly I'm lucky #even back in college my bff called me a wild irish child with the luck of the fairies #it's obvious to anyone around me that I have poor judgment and worse impulse control and all the luck under heaven #I don't even believe in astrology or w/e but that one time I was in Seoul and a friend of my dad's paid for a star chart analysis #they were like 'well she's doing her best to kill herself but she won't succeed because the universe won't let her' #and I have to admit that has in fact been my experience #anyway yeah Sol is my fairy gift (conceived on Midsummer's Eve in a fertility ritual that was MEANT TO BE FOR MY GARDEN) #spill your seed on the fertile earth I said to Sam #no we won't use any other contraception bad for the magic I said #I don't think you get to call a child a surprise that's conceived in a midsummer fertility ritual in your backyard #but I MEANT IT FOR MY GARDEN #to be fair the tomatoes were great that year #and now I have a Strange son and I believe the luck was always for him

More happy and not at all angsty firebrand doodles :D

the first one is them on a speeder chase after a mission went wrong and everybody is just losing their mind (Avar actually lied about having a drivers license, Elzar memorized the map for the wrong planet and Stellan is sooo done)

otherwise, yes, nothing angsty at all... did y'all read the announcement for the new phase three book in november? pretty sure they are going to kill avar and elzar too...

...

#in my hc stellan and elzar were supporting of avar being tran the entire time #learned how to braid hair #elzar watched make up tutorials #stuff like that :) #on another note i have been getting the feeling that stellan perhaps is not dead after all #yk they said he was in the book #but the way some of the authors and moderators on the star wars youtube chanel speak about it makes me suspicious #im probably delusional #i drew elzar with that meme for people with brown eyes and the sun #what a good description everbody will know what im talking about #also... we dont talk about golden eyed avar #actually yes we do because im rather certain #that if they dont kill her #theyll make her fall #also i couldnt keep myself from drawing the girlies fighting #gosh i love them #the high republic #elzar mann #stellan gios #avar kriss

the way i'm phrasing this is going to be so weird i hope he never comes over to tumblr and sees it otherwise i will literally disappear off the face of the earth but. SRK having a 'woman who could step on me and i'd be thankful/ask her to do it again' kink is something that can be so relatable—

#film: pathaan #pathaan #shah rukh khan #srk #deepika padukone #bollywood #local gay watches Bollywood.txt #i have never felt seen as a bisexual more than when this man opened his mouth during the Pathaan press conference #and said that he was jealous of the man Deepika threw over her shoulder that we saw in the trailer #bc that was her sexiest scene (to him) in the entire film #'i wish she did that with me. i'm jealous of that guy for being so close to someone so beautiful' #'if it were me i would have said 'hit me more hit me more'' #sir 😔 you understand sir #it's not just Deepika tho i've seen this with a lot of his co-stars #irl as well #bc Gauri fits that description almost exactly #but Kajol. she. you can't tell me the entirety of Dilwale leading up to that car scene was not this kink in full force #he has a type it's very obvious and the rest of us thank him for it

I saw a post where op said Eric Forman as a father isn’t realistic because no one stays obsessed with Star Wars when they grow up.

... uh, okay, my daughters were literally going to be Leia and Mara but my husband totally put his foot down. I’m tempted to send op a picture of my Star Wars room as proof that LOTS of people stay obsessed with Star Wars no matter what their fucking age! What a take...
