If my brain could stop jumping hyperfixations every ten seconds so I can get something done that would be lovely.

[emrysthemerlin]

I have officially submitted my first story to be reviewed for inclusion in an anthology piece. All the fingers crossed. I can’t say more yet but fingers crossed

[purplespacekitty]

a crime, a heinous CRIME, i tell you, that we never get to see Pancho’s Happy Bottom Riding Club.

what do you mean there’s a fucking dude ranch on this former ore processing station turned glitzy space mall??? and it’s named after a real dude ranch operated by real life aviator and founder of the first film stunt pilots’ union Florence “Pancho” Barnes in the Mojave Desert??????

[emrysthemerlin]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The sheer number of references on this board is exquisite!

Tom Servo’s Used Robots

Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

Millyways (it’s slightly blocked by the circle around the dude ranch but I’m pretty sure that’s what it says)

Whoever wrote this board is/was a nerd and I bow to their set design.

Impossible 😠

I stopped doing homework to tell you guys about team Flash + the Rogues coincidentally meeting up at the same bar and, after seeing that neither side has anything malicious planned, end up getting shit faced together and they all wake up the next day with no memory of anything that happened, and few of them missing.

Len and Barry woke up naked in the same bed, Caitlin has a tattoo, Cisco’s hair is dyed, Mick is wearing a dress, and Lisa has a wedding ring.

They’re in the penthouse of a ridiculously expensive hotel with priceless artifacts the Rogues probably convinced them to help steal.

And in the spirit of Hangover!AU’s, there’s totally a baby.

[emrysthemerlin]

Somehow the baby is Damien Wayne. No matter the timeline.

Did I just now reveal that my Fem Garashir story is actually in the Kelvin timeline approximately a century after those events? Maybe.

Alice In Wonderland x Dispatch

I was making Flambae mischievous and gave him a chesire grin

I also misread the comment as "Flambae as Cheshire cat would be a sight to see" I'm tired leave me alone. Anyways seeing Dispatch as Alice in Wonderland characters would be fun Visi would probably be better as Cheshire given that they're both purple and can disappear. But IDC draw them all in whatever role, swap roles, all as one role. Like all of them as Alice then all of them as Cheshire and so on blah blah blah! I'm never getting my nap.

[emrysthemerlin]

I see this and raise you. Dispatch x Alice in Wonderland but Chase is Alice. Chasing the brother he lost down a rabbit hole lol! (Casting here is based more on classic Alice less on Tim Burton )

Obviously Robert is the white Rabbit.

Robbie is the Red Queen.

Shroud is either the King or Knave of Hearts.

Flambae can stay the Cheshire Cat.

Visi is the playing card or the white Queen. Debating that if she’s not Cheshire.

Toxic is the dodo

Golem is the dormouse.

Mal is the Mad Hatter.

Sonar is the March Hare.

Coop and Punch Up are hard to cast in this one. But maybe the Walrus and the Carpenter. Again hard to cast were running out of roles and I can’t see them as Tweedles.

Mandy and Blonde Blazer are the tweedles!

Prism and WB/Phenomaman are really hard to cast here… if we’re sticking with the more Disney route (less Tim Burton) I would see Phenomaman as the doorknob I guess.

Maybe WB as the lizard chimney sweep (again think classic Disney).

Prism as the flowers in the garden?

Kinda ran out of steam and roles there but you see where I’m going?

[melmili]

just wanna say i am a big fan of this trope specifically

[tatsumi-rin]

[softbrah]

“online fandom bestie that you once shared intense intimacies with but don’t really talk to anymore simply bc we drifted into new blorbo obsessions” is such a specific type of relationship that has to be impossible to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced it

[clown-guitar]

wow i cant wait to buy the jurgen leitner book based on hit series Don’t Read The Jurgen Leitner Book

[emrysthemerlin]

Not gonna lie. When I first saw this I thought it was a joke. It’s not and that book is now on my wishlist. Why not I’m building my library anyway.

Office flirting (flambert)

flambert but Yuri , im a short hair fem robert/robin truther ok :). Also anatomy is a bit off I'm rusty from working on chibis and headshots for like a week lol need get so studying anyways enjoy the Yuri :)

[respocked]

how do you people writing star trek drinking scenes in fanfiction handle the alcohol contentration when it comes to fictional alcohols? as in, do you make up a percentage of an alcohol you headcanon ex. kanar as and then convert the amount of liquid you have a character consume in a scene to an equivalent? what do you headcanon the strenght as?

damar can certainly drink a pretty big amount without being outwardly affected but he has a big tolerance. when estimating an alien's weight do you take into account their like... density? it's a common fanon (?) that cardassians are heavier than humans of the same size, but i don't have enough biology knowledge to speculate how this would affect substance dosage.

also romulan ale is allegedly strong enough to be illegal but humans drink it all the time. is it illegal for an other reason. why is it translared as an "ale" when it's not drunk like an ale would be? what's even in that.

[emrysthemerlin]

Personally I believe there’s variance. If we’re talking TOS earth alcohol remains what we’d call normal. Scotty drinks, Pike drinks in the pilot. The odd bit comes when replication becomes more common and alcohol gets added to that. None of the alcohol in TOS is replicated that I recall.

TNG I have seen less of but I’m working my way through DS9 and I think it comes down to what you’re trying to replicate if we’re talking replicated alcohol. Quark is seen replicating what we have to assume is an alcoholic beverage ( a feringi starduster extra strong ) in the episode Babel in season one. So a replicator is capable or producing liquor. I’ll note here that any replicator has to be as he was using one he wasn’t supposed to be using not the one in his bar.

However most human liquor at that point is called synthale. So one of two things is likely happening. Either the demand is higher than natural output can keep up with so a synthetic less efficient substitute has become more common than the real thing (there is historical precedent for this sort of thing). Or, and this is less likely, something about space makes it harder to transport alcohol so human alcohol as we’re used to it is rarer because it’s harder to get while the synthetic version can be made anywhere.

I will grant that it’s possible StarFleet doesn’t want their people drinking on the job (as it would make them look bad) so they could refuse to transport earth liquor making it harder to get the real stuff outside our system unless you know the right people and StarFleet 100% is hypocritical enough to do that.

Romulan Ale is contraband because technically StarFleet and the Romulan Empire are at war both during TOS and TNG. But it is implied that both Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood Wine are more alcoholic than most things humans drink and therefore are actually dangerous for humans in larger quantities.

Kanar is trickier because we know so little about cardassian anatomy. Vulcans and Romulan are similar enough that we know their alcohol would have to be stronger and Klingons have twice the organs we do and we must assume that means livers as well so it would take more to get them drunk.

Personally I think Kanar before the dominion war was considered more of a sipping drink like a really good whiskey. Strong but not everclear.

My personal headcannon is that it’s one of the few alcoholic beverages Cardassians indulge in. This is mostly because they’re so militaristic and so focused on rank. You’re not gonna get anywhere if you’re drunk all the time and therefore aren’t good for Cardassia. This is more a social norm than a rule in my head, it shifts per person and situation. I feel like over the course of his exile Garak would have tried a lot of alcohol, just to see what they all do to a cardassian. But someone like Dukat probably would have tried Bajoran liquor and Kanar and not much else.

So I think it comes down to how you treat alien anatomy. But personally I think you have to apply that to augments too, I have a DS9 story and my version of Julian (Juliet since it’s a gender flip for Julian and Garak) took most of a bottle of Romulan ale to get drunk because of the augments. So overall I think it comes down to personal preference when writing. But that’s my logic!

in order to write the story you need to write the story

This is horrific. Why can it not materialize before me? I can see it in my brain. But I must use my words to create it???

[emrysthemerlin]

I have begun the Herculean task of actually organizing all the books I own in an effort to begin the Sysaphian task of actually reading them. In that effort I plan to do a little review/update series here and maybe on TikTok if I get the wild hair to.

Book 1 Dreamdark: Blackbringer by Lani Taylor.

Lani Taylor’s first book, published in 2007 I actually read this when I was in middle school along with the sequel when it came out. It’s a fun fantasy from what I remember (I’m only 5ish chapters into this reread). While the world as a whole is familiar set in a vaguely Victorian Earth we get the underworld of magic and mysticism that’s hiding from humans or ‘mannies’. Magpie Windwitch is a fun FMC chasing devils and old dead gods call Djinn with her crow brothers and dancing around a romance with Talon Rathersting a fairy who’s wings are too small to carry him so he made his own way to fly.

I remember this being at least a 7/10 so we’ll see how it holds up. So far it’s promising
