[TUVOKTOBER: Day 12] Casual telepathic conversation. There are some things you can't discuss with non-Vulcans.

No text!

The lady Tuvok's talking to is a canon, unnamed background character:

She's ex-Maquis and appears in like two scenes where she doesn't speak.

#Tuvoktober #non-text version beneath the cut #st voyager #bea art tag #st voyager fanart #Tuvok as a teen: I'm gonna rebel!!! Fuck society!!! Raaagh I'll DIE for love!!! #Tuvok Now: -tsk-....that's gonna bring down the property value. #Tuvok dresses in pretty bright and varied colors so I'm just making it a canon facet of him...like maybe where he grew up that was the #fashion (*he wears bright and varied colors when off-duty) #<- reds and purples and blues...not black and gray #but Spock liked blacks and grays soooo #youthtor-ri fai-tor etek = 'youth does not know us' <- Vulcan phrase I made up #'x doesn't know us' is a rough translation and it means...uh...like shrugging your arms aggressively. #Basically Tuvok is expressing 'but young people don't care' #also 'As ShiKahr says Vulcan does' is another made up phrase often used by Vulcans to complain about what's popular even and especially if #it did not originate from ShiKahr. <3 #Also 'uzh khaf' means 'new blood' and it had some historic meaning a long time ago but almost every modern day Vulcan just uses it to mean #a sort of mild insult like 'hipster'

husbeast watched To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar with me and he LOVED IT and i could just cry little tears of queer joy. this movie means so much to me as a queer person and as a gender nonconforming and a just generally socially non conformative person.

if you haven’t seen it, you gotta.

#the youths really don’t realize how much of a completely different world it used to be #same sex marriage has only been legal in the US for the last 9 years #if youre under 30 or so you really don’t know what it used to be like #‘gay panic’ was a legally admissible defense for why yoy brutally murdered someone #queer ppl had to live in secret basically #yes even in 1995 #the internet barely existed #most ppl in america weren’t even aware gender nonconforming folks EXISTED #or that that was even a THING #so many stories of trans ppl who were young then & older now not realizing they were trans #but there was nowhere to go if u didn’t have a local queer community #& most places did NOT have open queer communities #u literally had to know a guy #hanky code was in use to surreptitiously signal ur gayness #this movie is a reminder of how far we’ve come and what we have to learn #also this movie was racially groundbreaking believe it or not #ok maybe not groundbreaking #a movie where the three main characters are a white girl a black girl and a latina girl #was still a p big deal

DUDE. THE WAY JIM HAWKINS VIEWS SILVER THRU TREASURE ISLAND VS THE WAY SILVER HAS THIS UNENDING FONDNESS FOR JIM

#idk its like. silveris the monster jim dreams of. but silver sees jim as naive to society maybe. someone who might be on his side bc hes not #yet been too poisoned by society to hate silver completely #or. theres no kids on nassau. at most we see young boys who run messages for eleanor who look 10-12 #(if memory serves me). and silver sees jim and recognizes this is no place for a child. one who still has a chance to escape #hmmmmmm. idk i think thr way youth is portrayed (with RLS's writing) is super interesting bc jim is narrating the story at least a few #months if not years removed from the actual events i froget the timeline exactly #but silver holds like a genuine fondness for jim or at least i think so - or he sees jim as easily manipulatable as a kid #but we only see silver thru jims eyes - jim who is intially drawn in by this one legged man and his stories and his bird #and upon realizing silver is just another pirate turns on him. calls him a monster and treats him like hes subhuman. #idk its just so. INTERESTING #black island treasure sails #<- blacksails/treasure island tag i suppose

love the vincent/vega parallels in the recent audio concerning talks of immortality. how vincent used his love as a promise of eternity (“—spend eternity by your side—”) to lovely and how vega used intrigue (“you want to know me? you want to know how time and circumstance could lead someone here, and how time and circumstance might lead them back? then come with me. we're demons. we're eternal. but infinity has a price, and not everyone is willing to pay it. i plan to craft eternity as something liveable. experience it with me.”) as a weapon of coercion to pull warden to his direction and manipulate them into joining him in whatever plans he’s got. i scream

#i also wanted to talk about my thoughts when it comes to demons and their partners #because in the imperium universe vega has a human partner in the same way vin has his freelancer #and avior. of course. ever-tragic. has starlight. who is also an empowered human #but in the other universe. the one where vega is introduced via very villainous actions. he has a daemon #he has warden #and i think that. it's partially the reason for the vast difference between imp!vega and this vega #because when demons/daemons fall in love with humans or form bonds with them those people pull them closer to humanity #and in terms of morality it pulls them closer to the gray area and away from the stereotypical black and white characterization #not saying vega is straight up evil in this universe: he's still very much a mystery despite having a demon partner #WHICH is what makes it a lot better because warden seems to be very young and curious. as vega consistently reminds us #whereas pet is fragile and human. which means they're unsafe everywhere and anytime. they can die #but warden. vega can use their curiosity and youth all he likes to the point of coercion because the power difference between them is huge #vega is almost like this all-knowing elder demon which pales the other demons in comparison #also i think vega has successfully forced codependency out of warden if judging by the fact that they're ‘distressed’ #whether warden is romantically involved with him or not im p sure they have a kind of attachment to him #and lastly: i cannot believe that it's vega that has pulled me out of my grave. unbelievable #redacted vega #redacted warden #redacted vincent #redacted lovely #redacted freelancer #redacted gavin #redacted asmr #redacted audio

POWERFUL Speech BY 13 Year Old NIGERIAN

Our children are speaking because we as adults are too afraid to fight for them but they are taking matters into their own hands because we are too cowardice to provide the right protection they need.

It's sad 😭 when our innocent babies have to stand and fight for themselves while we as adults are too busy selling ourselves for a few bucks or trying to fuck. These kids are doing great things because we are too afraid or we don't think they know what is going on in our world.

//Great time to remind everyone IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, YOU SHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR HERE. You're only a kid for so long, you get to be an adult forever. MAKE IT LAST. FRIGGIN' WAIT TO ENGAGE IN CONTENT LIKE THIS.

//No one can protect you if you refuse to let them. These games and this fandom and content have 18+ tags on them for a REASON, and it's to PROTECT YOU. You're not cool, you're not edgy, you're not special, you're not grown up for ignoring warning signs that are set there to KEEP YOU FROM HARM, you're just an idiot for exposing yourself to that ON PURPOSE.

#//Someone liked one of my posts #//Who PROUDLY had “Minor!” in their bio #//Blocked them IMMEDIATELY but still.... Wth? #//Sorry if this is harsh but i just know in my heart that if teenage me came across BTD #//I would have loved it !!! it also would have messed me up #//I know this cause it happened already !! i was into MLP in the 2010's and lord knows how tragic THAT fandom was #//i have also ALWAYS been attracted to guro. especially after exposing myself to rotten dot com at a very young age online #//it took me Y E A R S to fix myself and get comfortable in my own skin again #//took me Y E A R S to believe im not a freak for enjoying the things i do #//i understand it and its NOT a black and white detail. its COMPLEX and CONFUSING and needs your understanding #//But teenage me didn't know that. She wasn't aware and couldn't figure it out for a LONG long time. #//and even without the gore and shock sites- the MLP fandom was BOOMING with adults who didnt know how to behave #//That was a whole separate journey for me!!!! #//P L E A S E just live your childhood. enjoy your youth. Strade isn't going anywhere. Come back later when you can really think about- #-W H Y you like these games. #//I am SUPER frustrated. #//Not to trauma dump or anything but this kind of media ISN'T NORMAL TO CONSUME AS A CHILD #//i only got lucky. it was just luck.

i thought of this on the train. so I quickly made it

#this isn’t funny at all but I don’t think it was intended to be #not sure how to draw the spies yet sorry #spy vs spy #art #milenkos handicraft #white spy #black spy #i like to think of them as an jaded old married couple and they reminisce about when they were young #(I like to think their “youth” or more so young adulthood were the comic strips/cartoons ^__^ #yes I will make time apply to a mad cartoon rahhh I can do what I want

i still think it’s just one of the most charming things that the people overseeing hypmic liked sakakihara-san’s voice for aogiri bojo so much they asked him to attend auditions for the series and he was chosen to play jyushi 😭😭😭

#this is vee speaking #like all the audition stories that comes to light are incredibly neat!!!! like every single one!!!!! #but there’s just a certain warmth sakakihara-san’s story brings lol i get so happy whenever the story floats up back up to the brain ;w; #like we could have had a jyushi that sounded very similar to daigo-san who has a great jyushi btw #*slams fist on table* but the sweetness jyushi has is 💯% because sakakihara-san is his seiyuu!!!!! #the sweetest boy!!!!! with one hell of a range!!!!!!! #lol sakakihara-san is i think the lead character in an anime coming out this season of some edgy prepubescent boy judging from the cover #i really like it when male lead young uns in anime sound like young uns lol #like ciel black butler and tsuna khr and shinji eva etc etc #so i’m happy sakakihara-san gets to be part of that phenomenon lol he’s got a great voice for youthful characters!!!!! #c: seiyuu stuff

#being shellshocked in horror is another valid reaction #but i am sick of characters that act NORMAL. when the things happening are NOT NORMAL!!!! #shout out saw shout out nightmare on elm street 2 shout out jennifers body shout out the black phone etc #i think the common thread thru all of those is the characters who sob are pretty young!? i mean a lot of the horror movies ive watched have #young characters. but their youth is def smth thats leaned into #dgmw i love bloodbath scream queen fun horror movies plenty........but i ALSO love horror movies that rly humanize + give depth to the #characters....acknowledge in universe that the stuff happening is HORRIFYING........and they break down over it and it pulls at my #heartstrings. #drama + horror = GOOD SHIT!!!!!!!! #am i wording this well. idk whatever send tweet #cowboy posts

The killing of a budding activist, and the San Francisco district attorney’s decision not to release video footage of the incident or charge the security guard, has sent shockwaves through the city, sparking disgust at the quick use of deadly force by a private guard and protests about the city’s continued failures to provide housing, services and basic safety for Black trans youth like Brown.

[📷 Banko Brown’s family on the steps of City Hall, May 7, 2023]

“What makes this case deadly serious,” said Black Alliance for Peace member Jeremy Miller over the mic, “is if we do not respond appropriately to this lynching, we stand the risk of normalizing murder over loss prevention — murder over alleged theft from a retail establishment.”

…

Banko “always tried to think about all the other social justice movements that were happening. He organized over extended foster care services, lobbying Nancy Skinner. Free Palestine — he was there at that march. During the pandemic, he surveyed people on the street to collect data on the street to see what kinds of services young people needed.”

“He was just selfless,” Julia Arroyo, close confidante of Brown’s and co-executive director of the Young Women’s Freedom Center.

Who counts as a cyclist in London?

“BikeStormz regularly attracts hundreds of young, majority male cyclists – thousands when it comes to its annual central London ride against knife crime. The point of the project is to take kids away from where the blaze – the potential for violence – is hottest, Ferrari-Guy explains at one point in the film. This means physically removing people from hotspots where trouble can occur and bringing them into a community that offers respite and an alternative path forward. On a shoestring, BikeStormz is attempting to plug a gap left by the erosion of social services and spaces for young people. That’s not how the authorities see it, though. 

“Captured on camera is the real-time attempt to criminalise BikeStormz riders by various authorities. In one scene, Ferrari-Guy is shown in a meeting with an unnamed Met police branch discussing complaints made about BikeStormz. A white, middle-aged male officer reels off grievances. The size of BikeStormz rides is creating ‘significant community tensions’, he says. Youngsters on their bikes are ‘intimidating’, and their behaviour ‘bordering on the criminal’. He cites graffiti, littering, and even wheelies as problems. 

“Repeatedly, the officer emphasises the distress BikeStormz is causing to ‘members of the public’. The young cyclists participating in the ride, it’s clearly conveyed, don’t belong to this group. Instead, they threaten it – and wider social order.”
