"Mister Bashir, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you."

Julian, why in god's name would you invite him to play the villain?

#my art #ds9 #julian bashir #elim garak #star trek deep space nine #garashir #image desc in alt text #pencil #ok so on the outset it may look to some viewers as though julian invited garak to play the villain to get dommed by the scary lizard #this is not the case. not in my heart #in my heart julian felt a burst of something funny when Garak asked him ''what if you'd killed me'' #and he responded ''what makes you think i wasn't trying'' and garaks face blooms into a sudden understanding and respect. ooh. #That's that heady shit. catching garak off guard. ooooh. that's that High Quality Endorphins Happening. but. gotta pack that up for later #(he will not unpack that later) because garak also just threatened to kill 5 of his friends who are STILL IN DANGER. NO TIME FOR THIS. #so after everything. and MONTHS after OMB. he invites garak to something like a playful rematch. sort of. #after all theres only so long that garak can stomach being a sidekick u know? he needs to be able to do his own machinations. #so they make a character for him thats a villain. a little more cerebral than falcon. a little more ambiguous in his motivations. #now there's also. a secret game at play here (there are always games. doctor) and its actually between garak and his own self #you see garak Also wants bashir to defeat his character. he also wants to be shocked. challenged. a little dismantled even (state forbid!) #and because garak wants that for himself? hes going to fight tooth and fucking nail to make sure it doesn't happen. #that Gayle clip from ''COMPANY IS COMING'' but its garak yelling ''WE CAN'T LET THEM KNOW WE [WANT]!!!'' #and its a horrible idea for both of them but. oh so so exciting #you understand. #these rituals arent intricate so much as they are transparent but all encompassing. a fish doesnt know its swimming in water until its out #you understand? you understand. #thank you to anyone who found the time to read these tags i hope you enjoyed yourself and/or found what you were looking for #also garak is dressed so boring bc hes hiding himself u know how it is

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

#lay rambles #my ocs #oc: liam hawke #oc: lilian hawke #both my hawkes are very social w their friends but i love comparing their boundaries around it #theres variation in rules for specific ppl with both of them ofc but theres still general differences #with liam its all very open and everyone can p much come and go whenever #they dont get extra keys (theyll get lost and he doesnt want randos finding them lol) but they know where to find the spare key #and bodhan and sandal and orana know to let them in whenever #hes very lenient in this this regard but he does have rules abt what he does and doesnt want them to do #mostly its about not making too much of a mess lol bc liam prefers to clean himself #(he doesnt trust the crew with his household and also he has particular ways of doing things and Hates when theyre done differently) #so things like keep your dirty garb at the entrance dont cook by yourselves (this was banned after they did it one (1) time lol) etc #also no fucking allowed. do that somewhere else for the love of the maker he does NOT want to walk into that in his own house #(and it also comes back to liam not trusting them with cleaning but also Not wanting to clean that up lol) #also he is not fond of them going into his room uninvited. most of the house is chill but that is *his* space #he accommodates these rules by e.g. having spare slippers and a little washing basin in the entrance hall for dirty shoes/feet #always makes sure to have snacks in stock that he knows they like #food will have notes abt what to leave for leandra/orana/etc but otherwise food is prepared with his friends in mind #and in general he'll make sure to adjust the space/routine in little ways to accommodate them #(air out when fen isnt there cus he doesnt like drafts; keep curtains open cus anders prefers open spaces; etc) #lilian on the other hand doesnt like when her friends come into the estate without a heads up (cept for emergencies) #but once they have her 'ok' its basically mi casa es su casa #dont yknow. overdo it and get too rowdy but otherwise do whatever #however. she also expects everyone to clean up after themselves. she aint here to play maid and youre all adults #also liam has a general 'please try to not be too wild when leandra is here' and lilian doesnt #not cos she doesnt care but cos leandra is bothered by sth she can speak up herself #oh and lilian uses the basement space as temporary refuge for anyone who needs it (mostly escaped mages) #also side note: both offered gamlen to stay but he refused (out of pride/remorse) #...this got long and i ran out of tag space lmfao so this is it for now xD

okay so you know when takeda manages to get ukai to come watch karasuno play for the first time and kagehina show off their freak quick and ukai is like "sensei how long have those two been paired together" and takeda is like "oh kageyama and hinata? they just met this year i've heard it was rocky at first but they're getting along well now" and ukai is like "what a shame". do you think he goes home and looks into them and finds out that kageyama's the lonely king and that his teammates abandoned him. do you think he looks and looks for hinata but can't find him until finally he stumbles across a no-name school that barely had a volleyball team and their only match lasted 31 minutes. do you think he wonders about how lonely they were. a coach can't replace teammates but do you think he decides to try and make sure that no one on his team feels lonely again.

#hinata shoyo #kageyama tobio #ukai keishin #THAT MOMENT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME LIKE. WHAT A SHAME. UKAI LOOKING AT KGHN AS HE SAYS IT. #i dont even know if it makes sense but like. i was thinking about how ukai does his best to support his boys #like as long as they try he'll try too he'll take them as far as he can as long as they run beside him #but like do you think he looks into the kids and their backgrounds and thinks how can i make this a safe space for them. #do you think that besides his own knowledge of how it felt to be replaced he was worried about isolating suga #do you think he worried about kiyoko and yachi feeling left out #god. im just thinking about ukai and kghn and AUGH i dont even know where im going with this but yeah. #hey yall idk how old this is but i found it in my drafts so congrats! u get it now #lyz speaks

abed is better than me because I would NOT have been chill with the prospect of sloppy narcissistic season 1 jeff sharing my dorm room with me indefinitely

#sure I might have offered at first #but I cannot handle someone else constantly being in my space like that #I have my own room rn for the first time since before my little brother was born (he’s a year younger than me) #and I am NOT going back unless there is literally no other option #also yeah yeah I know characterization #abed craves genuine human connection and is under the impression that jeff is a master #and jeff is slowly realizing that everyone at greendale can tell he’s a materialistic douchebag with little substance #and the two of them understand each other in a way no one else does #catalyzed by their mutual love for tv #but I still would have been driven crazy by this man in my space 24/7 #anyway I think the tags are annoyingly long enough #community #nbc community #community nbc #abed nadir #jeff winger

#good grief im gettin a lil tired of seeing 'DONT DO THIS' kinda art videos #i very much understand its a youtube thing and that clickbait names and thumbs get the views and attention needed #but it doesnt mean it doesnt annoy me or that I cant be annoyed by it #sometimes i just see it in tutorial pictures too #but the large DONTS with red Xs near the supposed ''wrong'' way of drawing is so demotivating #people start and draw in many ways than one #its what makes art their own #but when videos or tutorial posts are made and show the ''WRONG'' way to go about it #its like scolding the new artist or long time artist with that style that they're doing it wrong and that its bad #no matter the intention its not the way to go about helping artists learn to draw #and in my personal opinion #the click bait ''DONT DO THIS WHEN DRAWING'' thing is what keeps me from actually watching the vids #i get theyre probably helpful but i don't like that I have to feel some NEED or DESIRE to click on a vid cause I feel like I did a thing #wrong or that i never should have done it at all #i wish i could see more 'here are some tips that helped me #kinda vids cause yes i would love to learn what helped you rather than being or feeling wronged for drawing in a way that isn't theirs #im rambling but i have been seeing a lot of 'DONT DO THIS' NEVER DO THIS' 'IF YOURE DOING THIS STOP NOW' kinda art vids #im speakin for myself here #but im an artist sifting through art youtube or spaces always willing to learn new ways of improving my art #i dont need to feel click baited like the next 3am don't this kid to learn how to improve my inking skills #if it was more a 'this is my personal preference and I wanna share it with my audience and maybe teach some things' kinda vid #id watch that too #but im just so tired of seeing art youtube going down this need to tell folks 'YOURE DOING IT ALL WRONG. THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY"

He's often called a monster, but he's not a monster. A monster is an exception, an outsider, someone society doesn't have to be responsible for. But society is responsible here. These "monsters" are not sick: they're healthy children of the patriarchy, of rape culture. Rape culture condones those behaviors that damage and oppress women, starting from things we don't recognize as important but are: controlling behavior, possessiveness, catcalling. All men are privileged by this culture. "Not all men," they often say. Not all men, no, but they're always men. A man can’t be good if he doesn't do anything to demolish a society that makes him so privileged. In this patriarchal society that gives them so much privilege and so much power, men are responsible for educating friends and colleagues when they hear the smallest hint of sexist violence. Say it to your friend who controls his girlfriend, say it to your colleague who catcalls passers-by, make yourself hostile to behaviors that are condoned by society and are the prelude to femicide. Femicide is state murder, because the state is not on our side. The State doesn't protect us. Femicide is not a crime of passion, it is a crime of power. We need widespread sexual and emotional education; we need to teach that love is not ownership. We need to support anti-violence institutions, and we need to give whoever needs it a chance to ask for help. For Giulia, not a minute's silence. For Giulia, burn everything down.

(Elena Cecchettin’s open letter after her sister Giulia’s femicide. In the last sentence she quotes Peruvian poet architect Cristina Torres Cáceres: If it's me tomorrow, if tomorrow I don't come back, mother, tear everything down. If it happens to me tomorrow, I want to be the last one." Read a good article about it (in Italian) and an English one. All translations are mine.)

#i couldn't say why i felt personally touched by this story since it's unfortunately not that different from too many others #but every female friend and family member i talked to these days has been thinking about it #and when i heard this letter read out loud in one of my podcasts this morning it dawned on me that for perhaps the first time #i heard these topics talked about in my mother tongue #and it moved something in me #(i own the choice of removing the name of the murderer from it btw. this is about him but he doesn't get to take more space) #news #politics #rape culture #giulia cecchettin #elena cecchettin #cristina torres caceres #burn everything down #long post #thanks roadie for helping me out with the translation

being a fic writer is so funny. i just gave my phd thesis into print and literally my first thought looking at the final word count, the culmination of 3+ years of agony and research and blood and tears etc., was "well that's substantially shorter than the exr college au i wrote as a 19 year old in a depressed haze over six months"

#''did my yaoi stickers arrive!!!! ...... it was my bachelor's degree :/'' type vibe #like this thesis falls thirty. thousand. words. short #in writing evergreen in 2k15 i have created my own white whale. nothing i write will ever be this much or this fast. ever again #also @ everyone who's ever commented that they read that fic in the space of a day and night: what 😭 #i didn't realise how long it was! it took me weeks to proofread my thesis! and that was apparently just three quarters of evergreen! #longfic readers are so strong and interesting and also i hope they're ok. love you kings

i know we're all trying to move forward, but its been a few days and i'd like to speak more clear-headedly on the subject: with regards to Dream, i think its... extremely unfair to warp those exiting the fandom as suffering from some kind of "mob mentality." this isnt a result of misinfo or fearmongering -- in general, i think ex-dtblr bloggers fall on a wider spectrum than people believe wrt whether Dream is a bad person and how guilty he is.

although i can only speak from my experience/feelings, the thing that tipped this into "i really need to leave" territory, even though things still seem like a gray area to some with the trial in the air, is that this is very much an issue that can only exist because of Dream's platform, his fan community, and (as he noted in his twitlonger) parasocialism. i think many of us were put in a position where we realized a victim came forward, and our kneejerk reaction was that we didnt WANT to believe her, and that was an appalling thing to confront.

it all fell into perspective for some of us who have defended Dream tooth and nail in the past: how damning would something have to be before we believed it? really, in this situation, the only thing we could do was withdraw active, public support. sure, sure, parasocialism is to blame; if that's really the case, we all needed the wake-up call 😭 a lot of us have been through this song and dance with former creators -- blind faith only gets you so far before we have to remember ourselves.

#i think people misconstrue the fact that dtblr was cultivated by its long-time members into something negative #in reality a lot of us have just known each other so long that we ended up being some of the pillars of the space and #some things we think similarly on because in the past weve pushed and argued and changed each others minds #<- that part is just my biased perspective though obviously everyone is entitled to their own biased view LOL #.txt #dream situation #negativity tw #long post
