favorite reoccurring characters on star trek: the next generation ↳ john de lancie as q

For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.

got some cyanotypes up on the shop! :~)

#no one should tell you what to do But for the love of god please don't go for the more expensive shipping option if you're outside of the US #i'm only selling one item at a time rn [so no savings by bundling multiple items] #and also stamped packages have gotten themselves all around the world before #additionally [and this is the most important part]: the letter packaging is cuter than rigid mailers

There is no such thing as too much or too little you can do for Iran right now. Talk to your friends, tell your family - mainstream news is barely covering this, and people without social media are unlikely to know much. Sign and share petitions, create and promote content, do not stop talking. Write to your local parliament, and attend protests in your area. If you don't have any, see how you can get involved in organizing them. From what I understand US sanctions make it impossible to donate money, though.

This is overwhelming for everyone, but we owe it to the people of Iran to not close are eyes now. They don't have the luxury of ignorance. We must be their voices while they're being silenced. We can't let the world forget them.

If all you can do is share, do that! Do that! Don't underestimate how much the smallest things help, and remember that anything is better than silence.

#and also! i know that if you're like me your fyp has been full of this stuff for days so the information you have may seem obvious #but i promise you that most people don't have the barest idea of whats going on #you have to tell them #i brought it up at dinner today and only one other person knew it was happening at all and he didn't know any of the details #now they all know and are posting about it. my moms writing letter after email after letter to the local govt #little things matter i promise #just don't stop talking #iran #iranian lives matter #mahsa amini #islamic republic of iran #mine

which one do you like more: ftm steve or mtf steve? or the special third option oOoOo

The secret third option is that I love femme Steve the most, be it ftm!Steve realising it doesn't make him less of a man to enjoy femininity, nb!Steve finding themselves, or mtf!Steve realising that she doesn't have to be "Steve Harrington" if she doesn't want to, and she doesn't.

I do think that there isn't enough amab representation in any fandom spaces, so while I as a ftm person do love seeing ftm!Steve, it's not my preferred way to go for my own ideas.

#uploxy #my answered letters #steve harrington #i'm trying to remember my own aus but i think steve's eddies is my only ftm!steve one and that's because it wouldn't work otherwise #tbh unless i specify otherwise all my steves should be read as genderqueer #thank you for the question btw! #i feel so awkward using amab/afab/mtf/ftm because that's not how i would want to be talked about. #it's putting too much weight on how my body looks/what it looked like before. which isn't who i am. a person is more than their flesh #with that said i do get how those terms help people. they were helpful to me when i was new to being trans and knew nothing #and they make it easier if you're looking for something specific on a site with a tag system

#I drew this when I was VERY stressed (days ago) #bee doodles #Tuvok/Janeway #Janeway/Tuvok #st voyager #st voyager art #letter writing and the preparation of warm beverages #Janeway & Tuvok seem like they'd call each other things like 'my other half' and 'my moral center' and 'my dearest companion' but then you #ask if they're dating and they're like Noooo. Absolutely not. and they're not but they are coming into each other's rooms at night #because neither of them can sleep well and talking about Mark & T'Pel while they lean against one another (holding the warm mugs instead of #hands - that comes later when they can pretend that maybe they were asleep) #because they're the only ones who know Mark & T'Pel - you're the only part of my old life that's here and that's a comfort and that's a #tragedy (because I care about you too much to want you here but I need you too much to wish you were anywhere else - and maybe I'm too #selfish too and too afraid to be alone) and when they're talking about Mark & T'Pel they can ignore the fact that they're leaning against #each other and how good the weight feels and how much their chests ache and how much they want more. Not even sex or a kiss but something #steady that lasts. (hold me close even if you can't tell me it'll be alright) #two people who're loyal to everything - too loyal to ask for what they want. They aren't dating because they're married to ghosts now and #to leave that haunted house would be to admit that there's nothing left there - that the grieving's done - and if the grieving's done then #the loving is too. It has to matter - it has to be present to be real (follow Starfleet rules follow Social rules follow the rules we make #up on the fly and honor as if they've been longstanding. Build a little life with me. Define strong lines we cannot cross. Look into my eyes #to make sure I'm not longing. Double check. Triple check. Don't look away. Please.) #When I want to hear your voice I'll read the words you've written - but I won't ask you to stay #Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok

realizing I did not letter the next page that goes up this week and that I have to do that still...

#klsafjs lmao I'm sorry I don't generally like to neg meme about art or the art process bc I think it's a great way to develop an unhealthy #relationship with something that yes is difficult but requires love to do #but you see #I hate lettering #I think I'm not very good at it but i'm also extremely picky about it and I hate the process of actually doing it #it's the ONLY PART of comic making I dislike #I find I dislike it less when I write the script in real time and write it as I'm lettering #but we don't do that here since that's a great way to end up with nonsense #anyway I do really like the next page... i guess I should letter it for you guys so you can read it #I GUESS #I'd pay a letterer if I hate spare money to hire one #at least making my balloons mix-n-match brushes made it easier #it would also be easier in clip studio if I could use clip studio without wanting to throw my computer out of a window lmao #so I letter in procreate #ANYWAY. #anyway #hope you're excited for the next page #enjoy audric answering questions in the meantime

Seems like a hit or miss in adaptations, both real and fake...

#or rather #the real ones remember details such as this #while the fake ones don't #sherlock holmes #too many to tag #letters from watson #the navel treaty #you're the only queue for me!

people: jay is my favourite as dusk falls character! he’s just so sweet and kind! all the other holts suck he’s the ONLY good one!

me:

#as dusk falls #jay holt #zoe walker #tyler holt #dale holt #bear holt #sharon holt #DISCLAIMER im not being serious i just think this is funny #like zoe walker herself was like jay traumatized me the MOST. i let dale carry me with a gun in his hand but jay holt put his HANDS on me #like people like to forget that zoe has two separate moments where she's traumatized by jay covering her mouth #im like y'all what did tyler even do. depending on playthroughs he could have just choked vince a little be so serious #you're telling me that jay is the only good one when he's sending a six year old girl letters saying he needs to talk to her #ANYWAYYYY #disclaimer 2: i don't actually believe he put his hands on her but that's a separate post

three way emails are so ANNOYING

you add a third person and suddenly none of the regular social rules apply.

and don't even get me STARTED on cc's. i can never be a corporate girlie bc to me these are the horrors.

#are you meant to say 'dear all'? #are you meant to name the two other people? #who knows #if one of the people reply to your email saying only 'dear [y/n] do you reply back saying only 'dear [their name]'??? #do you still include the third person in the 'send to' option? #or do they get downgraded to 'cc'? #and what if the other two people are having a conversation without you but still including you in the email #are you meant to acknowledge them? #bc i always find 'yes i've received this' emails such a waste of time #but also is it rude to ignore them? #but also are you intruding on their conversation if they're talking amongst themselves? #but also would they still send it to you if they didn't want you to reply? #or do they just want you to be a passive observer? #don't even get me started on when YOU'RE the one cc'd in #let alone being bc'd in #pain torture agony #i hate this someone needs to burn outlook #let's go back to handwritten letters through carrier pigeon #or better yet telegrams which charge by the letter so you don't have to bother with pleasantries

We could talk about how this was such a lightning in a bottle thing that went beyond the usual 'someone got scammed' and is well-worth the schadenfreude, but really the moral is for the love of god stop donating to gofundmes

#unless they're for- like- a specific and known person's medical bills (depressing) #or a team including at minimum one person with fundraising experience / one with accounting skills / one communications #i want the resume i want the cover letter i'm the asshole company you're trying to get a job with #i know crowdfunding campaigns technically have a 'failsafe' for that set up like they want people to do cost breakdowns #but if you're a good scammer those are very easy to fudge and only lend credence to the lie

Yeehaw we gettin tagged by @whump-me​ (tyyyy) and posting 7 snippets from our writing (or wips but i am a wipless bastard atm 🤪) and i have decided to do some Silly Castys Moments (and also some Erebus stuff ig 🙄)

Warning for some gore probably it’s Nemi writing so yk but I’ll try to keep the really bad stuff outta here (there also some armputation and guy going crazy and starving to death over and over you know the drill)

1. Local silly guy does in fact regret it very much

“I don’t really want you, per se, but a certain…friend of yours.” Castys stiffened, and he heard a faint laugh. “I think you know who I’m talking about.”

“I really don’t. I’ve got a lot of friends, you know, and-” something slammed into the metal above him, cutting him off.

“Don’t play dumb with me; you know exactly who I’m talking about, and you’d better tell me where I can find him or I’ll make you regret it.”

“Please, do your worst. I already regret so many damn things so I don’t think another one on the pile will do much to me, to be honest,” Castys mused, wiggling against his bonds slightly.

2. The worst fmk in existence gets you stabbed

“Hey, guys, fuck, marry, kill for rice, pasta, and bread, go. I think for me, I gotta say fuck bread, marry rice, kill pasta. Don’t get me wrong, I love some noodles, some noods, but, like, man. Have you ever just, like, had some bread? Insane. I would fuck bread. I don’t wanna fuck anything, but boy I would fuck the bread. And rice, man, she’s so dependable, she’s always there for you. What I would want in a spouse if I wanted anything in a spouse. This game wasn’t really designed for me, and yet, here I am. So, c’mon, what’s it from you two? You’ve gotta have-Hey, Danny boy, got an opinion you’d like to share?” Castys smiled up at the man now standing in front of him.

Daniel rolled his eyes before putting his asshole face back on. “Just do something useful for once and hold this for me, vermin,” he said with a smile, lifting Castys’s shirt and gently sliding the knife he was holding into his abdomen. Castys just sighed, way too used to being stabbed to really care much about this.

3. Ripping your arm off but it’s a Phineas and Ferb reference (this one is probably the most gory of all the snippets fyi but it’s not too bad)

Sensing his chance, Castys grabbed the manacled wrist of his shredded arm with his good hand, bit down on the gag, and pulled. He couldn’t give up, couldn’t stop, not after enduring this much, he could feel his flesh tearing, sending out sparks of agony unlike anything he’d ever known, and he had to keep pulling, pulling and jerking and tearing and twisting and praying, praying that he could rip it off before he drowned again, which, hey, kind of a weird thing to want, not that he hadn’t had to amputate his own limbs before, but weird that it was happening again, and honestly, this hurt way more than the other times, but wasn’t that always the case-and fuck there was no way he was going to be able to just snap his bones like this, and he needed it to be completely severed, and there was no time, wedge it against the rocks and pull pull pull until there was a snap and a burst of unholy agony, so intense it almost smothered the relief, so fierce it made him forget he was drowning up until the moment his oxygen-starved brain lost consciousness.

4. Lmaoooo bitches trapped in a cell for like 200 years

Every three days. Thirst. Weakness. Dizziness. Death. Was it three days? Is that how long you could last without water? He tried to count, but the numbers got lost in the haze all too easily. There was no way to mark the stone, to keep track outside of his head, the blood wasn’t being washed off him anymore. He had nothing, nothing at all, just here and himself and the unyielding stone. The square of sunlight would move across the cell, the only motion to break the constancy of everything else. It was the same day repeated over and over and over and over and over and it was the same just the same nothing ever changed, ever, ever, it was the same-

Something wasn’t the same. The leather muzzle that had kept him silent for so long had been slowly rotting, and it finally fell off. For a moment he simply stared at it lying there on the ground, broken, dying, fading away. He opened his mouth for the first time in decades. And he screamed, because that thing got to rot away and disappear and he wouldn’t, he would always be here, hungry and thirsty and alone and trapped and alive and it wasn’t fair, not at all, and he screamed because it had been so long since he was able, he cried because it was all he could do.

5. Erebus’s iconic sit down protest ✨ (it does not accomplish anything in the end)

“You are coming with me. As of today you are my property, so you will do as I say. Resistance will only make things more difficult for you. So you will walk, or you will be dragged. Your choice.” Erebus initially felt a bolt of fear shoot through him, but looking down at her scrawny frame, he realized that she likely couldn’t carry out her threat.

Dragged? He’d like to see her try.

Erebus sat down on the ground and looked expectantly up at Neteri, one eyebrow raised. She huffed and narrowed her eyes. Planting her feet firmly on the ground, she tugged on the chain as hard as she could, but it did little more than make him lean forward. She sighed. “Okay, you have a point there.”

6. More Erebus and Neteri shenanigans because she’s right he’s being a drama queen

“You can’t just do that! That’s-you can’t just amputate my arm!”

“See, this is why I didn’t want to tell you. I knew you’d freak out.”

“Of-of course I’m freaking out! You want to cut off one of my limbs, for Drottkia’s sake!”

“I mean, yeah, but I’m going to give you a new one right away. So at the end of the day you’ll have the same number of arms you started with. It’s honestly not worth getting that worked up about.”

7. New phobia alert!! (warning for centipede on guy)

He felt it, it was on him, dozens of little legs pitter-pattering across his skin, crawling on him. “G-get it off. Neteri, please, please get it off.” It tickled the back of his neck, around the base of the section of skin she’d replaced. “What’s it doing Neteri plea-” she clamped a hand over his mouth, her thumb rubbing against his cheek as he whimpered.

“Shh, shh, you’re okay Erebus. I’m just seeing if it can connect to you, I promise I’ll take it off when I’m done.” Connect to him?! What-what did that mean-oh it had stopped crawling around it was just sitting there it was on his back what was it going to do to him what did connecting mean was it-Erebus felt a momentary pinch at the base of his neck, and suddenly his limbs starting moving, wriggling in the restraints all on their own. Neteri removed her hand from his mouth and looked down at him expectantly, her other hand still gripping his tightly even as his fingers twitched uncontrollably. “Are you doing that?”

“N-no I-I’m not moving I’m not doing that why are they doing that I can’t stop it is it doing that to me make it stop make it let go please-” Tears were streaming from Erebus’s eyes but he didn’t care he just wanted that thing off he wanted it gone he wanted control of his own body back he’d always had that even when he was tied up and strapped down he’d always had that-

And there we go hope that either a fun time on memory lane or at least made you laugh a little

[obligatory job hunting is hell post]

#i applied for a thing last week that didn't ask for a cover letter #and is just like 'we'll reach out for more if your experience is a good fit etc' #and every day that goes by without word i get more nervous #like i know it's not been a long time but if i don't even get contacted for this one based purely on experience then we have a problem #like maybe i didn't get on the other ones bc my cover letter was bad (i don't think it was) or bc the experience wasn't quite right #but i thought i was a relatively good fit for this one! #and if i'm not then there's not much i can do about that because spoiler alert you need more job to get more experience! #can't really say a rejection isn't a reflection of you as a person if you're rejected purely on your experience #anyways may this post manifest a message from them soon #of course. an initial reach out is only the first step of many to actually getting a job which is a whole other issue isn't it :) #it is one of Those Nights lads #chilly chats
