Fyi, for any new Tolkien fandom mutuals - my dedicated Silvergifting/Silmarillion/Tolkien blog is @eregion-era ... My Tumblr app has been buggy on my new phone & just does NOT want me to follow anyone as @eregion-era. I'll cross post some stuff tho till it sorts out!
it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows
not to be dramatic but! my bedroom windows!
october update
forgot about november but here's a december update
february update finally got string lights but not enough also this plant is slowly taking over my life
The way everything is so expensive and it's not even good 😐
'the ultimate computer' aka uncannily precise vision of the future in which starfleet wants to replace jim with ai but spock and bones are not having it
I am going feral at all the times ai is being a menace in this show and how accurate it is to the bs present we're living in
"If I fear him, who loves him, how must he fear himself, who hates himself?"
I'm very, very embarrassed to admit that my middle school students (at a relatively conservative Christian school) had to alert me to the fact that Lawrence and Ali (in Lawrence of Arabia) were indeed very gay for each other. Such was the THEY'RE SO IN LOVE uproar at the reuniting of Lawrence and Ali after the desert crossing that I literally had to stop the film and put it off for the next class. I attribute my obliviousness to the fact that I had not re-watched this film for quite a while and did not have my shipper glasses on the last time.
And now I have to explain to my kids from conservative families that:
1. Lawrence was probably a homo-romantic asexual according to all the info we have from his own autobiography and the posthumous testimony of his friends and colleagues. He probably never had any consensual sexual experiences -- he only writes about his assault at the hands of captors during the war and his deep affection for certain male friends. And writes in letters very positively about other m/m couples he knew during the war.
2. David Lean said that he wrote Lawrence and Ali (and directed them) as lovers.
3. Homosexuality was super illegal in Britain at the time. That plus the fact that Lawrence was also the victim of constant physical abuse as a child probably a lot of resistance to intimacy (according to some biographers).
4. Ali ibn El Kharish (Sherif Ali) is a fictional character! He IS however an amalgamation of some of Lawrence's closest friends amongst the members of the Arab Revolt.
5. Regardless of all of the above, that it's ok to be gay ... even if your church says it's not. The Bible isn't real clear about it, so maybe let's be chill. And then ... not get in trouble with any parents. Hopefully. Cross fingers....
This is very intense but also very funny situation-- and I'm really not sure how to handle our next class ...
Happy birthday, Mr. Winchester. This year I got you a hug from your favorite person, and a second birthday in February (haha, oops! (the print-calendar people know what I'm talkin' about.)). Rest assured you both remain alive and well in this house <3
Fun Story to Share.
I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.
Well - she got this email this morning:
The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.
Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).
Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.
a little preview of my justice card for @novaandmali's new tarot deck which is currently on kickstarter
cant believe people tried to convince me that kirk is a misogynistic womanizer macho man. my boy just wants to go on adventures and pick flowers. hes a stack of books with legs. he likes long walks on the beach. he apologises every time he snaps at someone when hes stressed. he teaches charlie not to hit women and to leave them alone when they're not interested.
this is your macho man? this man? look at him. i dont fucking think so
really enjoy when episodes just open with data doing some miscellaneous shit. heres data playing poker with his friends. heres datas violin recital. heres data acting in a shakespearen play in the holodeck. heres data criticizing picards painting and hurting his feelings. i just like seeing what he gets up to
and you know what. hill house isn’t even evil or vile or diseased, it’s just lonely. as lonely as eleanor and it ate her and she ate it. if you even care
Lottie Matthews wrote her English term paper on this and got an A–.

Dean is very private as a person so you know Cas is it for him when he let's Cas read John's journal, let him touch Dean everytime for healing, let him go through Dean's toiletry bag. Also s8 is so gay lol.
