I love the whole DS9 crew so much!

More DISCO stuff! «Why you never told us you had a sister Spock? :D» he never told many abt his brother either, wonder why😂 Also according to the fanwiki, Spock entered the vulcan science academy the year Michael graduated, so she might be about four years older. Lastly, Michael and Saru, scuffling over trying to get the captain’s praise.

Everithing is the same, but Garak wears fur coat and sunglasses because it’s too cold and too bright for cardassians on DS9. And long hair because my friend suggested it and I was like yeah totally, long hair too

Introducing The Joy of Recs Podcast! A test pilot episode so please listen and give feedback. 

As the preamble says, the Joy of Recs is one part fandom classics compendium, one part recs from across my reading history, and one part oral history of fandom. Hosted by cicak/cicaklah a fandom veteran and obsessive consumer of fanfic for 17 years, but at her heart a nobody.

Today I am discussing my favourite fic of all time, Twofish, by a demon of my word.

In the podcast I say that the author is unknown. However, 5 seconds of googling just now identifies her as now going by grindylowe. So. Obviously this podcast is off to a good start.

TwoFish by Grindylowe, a classic and one of the first GO fics I ever read.

DRAWTOBER #14 - Twofish by Grindylowe

A love story about angels and demons. Also, fish

day fourteen is what I would describe as “an oldie but a goodie” and it is a fandom classic for a reason. pre-radioplay and tv series (so technically I shouldn’t have used the tv versions of them but I was too tired and busy today to come up with my own designs), it’s got some seriously cool world-building re: their angel/demon forms and it’s a looot of fun. it’s also like, genuinely lovely, and I say that as a person who’s very very picky about their g/o fic, and also legit hilarious.

Hordak reversing Prime's speech from season 4 on the finale of the series is one of the most satisfying things I've ever saw.

Also, even putting all racial/gender arguments aside, isn’t it a little unrealistic to be upset that TV storytelling formats have changed since the 60′s? These people are claiming that Discovery doesn’t “get” original Trek cause it’s not episodic, as if episodic TV dramas (besides procedurals and sitcoms) are really even a thing anymore

[emotional-support-kelpien]

syndication won't exist in under a decade, episodic anything is a relic

SO ABOUT THIS MOMENT FROM THE UNCUT VERSION

Going off the marriage not official until pon farr ,how do you think lgbt vulcans might marry?

That’s a good question! And to be honest, I don’t have a concrete answer, but I’ve got some ideas: 

For male x male pairings they both have pon farr, so I guess they get married just the same way as male x female couples, when one of the partner’s cycle hits. 

For female x female couples... unless we accept Enterprise’s canon that female’s have pon farr too (which a lot of people don’t accept because it contradicts previous canon and was really only included to give male fans a hot and sweaty T’Pol to drool over)... I suppose they must do something different. 

Perhaps in pre-reform society, fxf couples weren’t recognized as legitimate because they had no pon farr to bind them together. Though I would imagine by the time the Federation is established, they’ve found some way to establish culturally and legally, the legitimacy of fxf pairings. Perhaps they simply do the same ceremonial part of the wedding they do with other couples with the finger-touching and the mind-linking, and consider it done? I could see that.  

As for trans vulcans? I’m not trans myself so I’m not really sure how that would work. Or how that would impact Vulcan marriages, if at all. 

If anyone has any additional ideas about that, or anything else I mentioned above, or corrections if I’m wrong, feel free to add!  

[captaincrusher]

I think it’s difficult discussing this in these terms, because the base concept, straight from the 60′s, of pon farr is that a man is super horny and a woman has no sex drive. The only way for me to make sense of it is if both genders go through the same thing. When they get engaged they get married whenever it happens to one of them and they can then somehow start the process for the other one. Both having the same drive and desire is the only way I can see that process being consensual and fair.

As for trans Vulcans, pon farr is probably due to hormones. So they might experience it differently, earlier or later as they go through the transition. 

[emotional-support-kelpien]

T'Pol went through Pon Farr though?

[cruelfeline]

All right. Well. I’m a brokenly-sobbing mess, but I got my stupid screenshots.

What is wrong with me and this scene?

[garnet-xx-rose]

I think it’s because that scene is so quiet yet it’s so big. You feel everything between Hordak and Adora: The betrayal, the heartache, the deception. And yet, Adora’s already made peace with it, and now she wants to give that chance to Hordak. Because she knows, she understands.

She knows that Prime decieved Hordak just like she was deceived by the First Ones.

And then you have Hordak with Adora as a baby and what’s interesting is that he looks so young and startled (he’s even blushing I swear)It’s like for a second both Hordak and Adora shared a sense of innoncence and solidarity. Think about it, they’ve both been seperated from their Homeworlds by force and are now stuck on this unfamiliar planet with no support system.

Hordak was probably mad that Prime didn’t come, and that’s likely why he was so grumpy with Shadow Weaver back in Season 2. But also, in a very twisted way, Hordak gave Adora something he didn’t have: a family.

We of course know what the Fright Zone really was. But, for everything that we know Hordak’s been through and what he came from, he honestly did the best that he could for Adora in providing her a home, based on what he was taught. And Adora, finally understands that.

And while it is so tragic, it is also so hauntingly beautiful.

You have good takes, friend.
