raise a glass to the posts you love that end up deleted. to the fanart and fanfics you lose track of and can't locate. to the blogs you used to look through that ended up unexpectedly disappearing. to the things you didn't archive because you always assumed they'd be there.

#this is why I have over 10tb in external hard drives #I do still lose things but not nearly as often as everyone else I know lol #I have almost all the fanfic I've ever read (25 years worth) #articles from 20 years ago #So Many YouTube Videos #and so on and so forth #idk tags #Nic speaks in tags

At a restaurant tonight, for my sister-in-law's birthday, and there's football on the TV at the bar

Me (to my nephew): hey, do you think that's the Superbowl?

Him: *stares at the TV and ponders for a while*

Him: I really just don't know

Me: me either. But they're playing football. I think maybe it's the Superbowl.

Him: *stares again, looking perplexed*

Him: it is football

Me: it is

Him: well, I just don't know what to think now. The Superbowl is football? I thought it was bowling.

🤣🤣

Like, that's fair lol

I was only expecting him to correct me and be like, "that's not the Superbowl! That already happened!"

I didn't expect to give him an existential crisis. I had no idea he didn't know what the Superbowl was 🤣🤣

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Why be comfy on a bed in the sun when you can be uncomfy in a bowl in the hallway??

also... omg... she used to fit in that bowl!! 😭😭

look at her in 2019! So tiny!

(this was before she broke the orange bowl, and I had to reinforce it with a black bowl inside it... she used to run and jump into the bowl, and it would slide a few feet every time, and one time she did it and it slid down the stairs... she jumped out but the bowl cracked lol)

she used to sleep in that bowl every day... she claimed it the first day I brought her home, and it's been her bowl ever since lol

Since it's relevant, here's a link to my favourite website on the internet, "History is a Weapon". It's an archive of manifestos, essays, speeches, from like the civil rights movement, the gay liberation movement, etc

For people who are interested in that sort of thing

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine

Ten questions to ask a friend who just read your novel

Here are ten questions to ask that will not put your friend in a tough spot, but will still give you some useful input on your novel:

1. At what point did you feel like “Ah, now the story has really begun!”  2. What were the points where you found yourself skimming?  3. Which setting in the book was clearest to you as you were reading it? Which do you remember the best?  4. Which character would you most like to meet and get to know?  5. What was the most suspenseful moment in the book?  6. If you had to pick one character to get rid of, who would you axe?  7. Was there a situation in the novel that reminded you of something in your own life?  8. Where did you stop reading, the first time you cracked open the manuscript? (Can show you where your first dull part is, and help you fix your pacing.)  9. What was the last book you read, before this? And what did you think of it? (This can put their comments in context in surprising ways, when you find out what their general interests are. It might surprise you.)  10. Finish this sentence: “I kept reading because…”

Your friend is probably still going to tell you, “It was good!” However, if you can ask any specific questions, and read between the lines, you can still get some helpful information out of even the most well-meaning reader.

the character development for Nog from season 1 to season 7 is literally unreal

such an underrated character, tbh, and a good actor

pulling off that believable, raw emotion while in full ferengi costume is an impressive feat

he's come so far from the little shit disturber getting in trouble on the promenade

this is such a heavy storyline and he's just a baby!

Like, canonically, Nog is only 22 years old in the Siege of AR-558

it's also wild what DS9 managed to do with the Ferengi as a species, considering how ridiculously they were initially presented in TNG
