this is vivisection Fandom: The X-Files

trigger warning: suicide attempt Summary:

He lusted after this feeling, this scary new state of mind that roped around his senses like a lifebuoy around his torso, keeping him from drowning in his own madness and yet doing nothing to bring him to the island he could see right in front of him. He was a child in an open sea, and Mulder did not know how to swim.

Though tbh, everything depends on whether I'm in the mood to read a one-shot or a longfic. I'll read anything if I deem it written well enough :D

[okthatsgreat]

here's a quiz i made so you can learn what type of fanfic character flaw you would be &lt;3333

[joekitsu]

Well I am queer so congrats for getting that right fanon?

[cosmictardigrade]

uh. yay.

[writingdose]

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

Breaking the Chain

[astriiformes]

Other people have touched on this more eloquently, but I love that Ryland Grace is at his core a teacher. A middle school science teacher. Sure, his background as a former academic is also critical to the story, mostly because something about him needed to catch Stratt's eye and thus result in him getting dragged into the project, but more importantly than that, he hated being in academia. The book makes it fairly explicit that he wrote his controversial paper and insulted a leading scientist in his field because he was burnt out and hated the environment and got self-destructive as a result, which is a far less rosy view of academic science than I would have expected (and, frankly, completely believable).

And then he left and became a middle school science teacher. And that turned out to be his real calling. He was bright and creative and a little bit brilliant and a genuinely good scientist, and he gave that world up to teach kids and he loved it. Even after everything, after the Petrova Taskforce and Project Hail Mary and Tau Ceti and ultimately ending up on Erid, his calling is to teach kids.

As someone who has dipped in and out of the science communication/science education world myself, it's so important to me that Grace loves teaching, and especially that he loves teaching kids. People really devalue science communication work, and there's often this unspoken assumption that the people doing it just aren't "smart enough" to become real scientists, so they do scicomm instead. And everything about Grace flies in the face of that -- he's perfectly capable of doing the science, but it's not what he loves the most! What he loves and values and finds important is teaching, and I adore that. It's so refreshing to see, and such a genuine love letter to educators, and to everyone who chooses to prioritize communication and education regardless of how specialized they may or may not be in their field.

His happy ending is to be a teacher. And that's so important.

[the-haiku-bot]

His happy ending

is to be a teacher. And

that’s so important.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[cosmictardigrade]

as someone who is an advocate of and also an aspiring science communicator, I one hundred percent agree with this. No job is ever too small or less important, and this is especially true for STEM related work.

[penny-anna]

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

FIST MY BUMP YALL

ik this fanart is late but whatever

[cosmictardigrade]

Messy baby kataang sketches :D

also first time actually drawing features like this.

[cosmictardigrade]

Zuko practise sketch featuring cute Earth Kingdom hair, also yeah, I imagined him a little more bulked up here because the way he was so skinny and malnourished was genuinely concerning.

I know he uses dual blades, but the reference was cute, so I went along with this.

[cosmictardigrade]

He said the thing guys HE SAID SO GET THIS

[batsandboba]

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Sam is super super fun to render

[itsgarbageboy]

maomao is my favorite "not like other girls" style protagonist bc for one shes a girls girl through and through. to the bone. and two she's just a weird little freak. absolute lunatic. they have the whole "omg she's actually beautiful and everyone falls for her when she's all made up" trope but the punchline is that she does not fucking want to look like that. she actively puts dirt on her face every day bc she does not want to be perceived as attractive (mostly out of fear of being used for sex work though at the same time she has the utmost respect for women who do sex work like she grew up in a brothel those are her sisters). she's Sherlock level smart and solves every mystery so fast but goes "well thats none of my business. anyway back to testing poisons on myself" she has the 2nd most powerful guy in the nation head over heels in love with her and is like "man this guy is weird around me what's his deal. I guess he's fine though because he gives me rare medicines and has no dick" fucking ICON i love her. also she once slapped someone so hard they fell on the floor. 10/10
