the inverse placeness of voyager and ds9 is a really interesting point of comparison and once you start noticing it it’s easy to see how it influences the narrative arcs of both shows. the spatial stability of ds9 easily lends itself to the big picture political intrigue plots, whereas the spatial instability of voyager lends itself more to focus on the characters’ personal journeys. voyager by its very nature could never have something like the dominion war, it simply does not stay put long enough for that type of story. ds9 could never have something like equinox or timeless, it’s too connected to the outside world. it’s fine if you prefer ds9 because it can tell those big picture stories, or voyager because of the microscope it provides on its characters, but any comparison of the two has got to take the placeness of it all into account

me as a writer

When I was a kid watching tv was idiot coded and nerds read books, but now scrolling shortform videos is considered braindead behavior and watching tv means you're some kinda intellectual. You might think this shifting assessment of media's consumers might make readers into absolute super geniuses, but no. Only perverts read now.

can't tell if im a writer because i want to be or because there genuinely just is not another choice. like once you realize that you are capable of scribbling nonsense about anyone and any place and any scenario that has ever happened or ever will it's kind of over

Most infuriating part of writing is having an idea and thinking oh, this is gonna be so good and wanting to IMMEDIATELY share the vision with other people because it's gonna be good but then you start writing it down and - it is gonna be good. Except. It is also gonna take so, so, so long to finish. And in the meantime. You are the only one with The Vision. Alone. Losing your mind. 😭

“Beyond a given point [we are] not helped by more “knowing,” but only by living and doing in a partly self-forgetful way. As Goethe put it, we must plunge into experience and then reflect on the meaning of it. All reflection and no plunging drives us mad; all plunging and no reflection, and we are brutes.”
