important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

ds9 is crazy. oh miles was in a psychological prison barely a step above solitary for what felt like 20 years for him but was only a few hours in reality. he's returned home a deeply traumatized man forever changed by his experience. tune in next week for us to not address that ever again!!

[deadmaidclub]

idk what do you guys think they did with all that time in prison. this was really the only option to me.

hi toph

to be clear, I believe younger artists and minors can write good fics (not to say “fanfic must always be good” either because it is a hobby and I still believe that as long as it’s done with love and the artist’s joy, it is good) and I believe it’s good when younger artists and minors start making art at young ages.

that said, a lot of fanfics out there that you read and love are done by adults with kids, jobs and responsibilities. adults who have years, decades of practice under their belts. adults who don’t let life and responsibilities take away their joy in creating.

someone’s love and passion don’t suddenly go away the second they reach a certain age. so if anything, I feel sorry for people who say “adults shouldn’t write fanfics or make fan art” because what these people really say is that they expect themselves to stop having fun and finding comfort in things that bring them joy and comfort the second they reach a certain age. it’s sad that they put an expiration date on their own fun and source of comfort.

Thank you. Preach.

Tsumugi was right:

Not to toot my fandom’s horn or anything… but the whole concept of fan fiction in the modern sense came about because of 40 year old female Star Trek fans writing slash fiction of Kirk and Spock in the 1970’s…

"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine functions as a refutation of the utopianism of The Next Generation because it highlights the moral compromises captains need to make to do their jobs" no, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine functions as a refutation of the utopianism of The Next Generation because every time some existentially horrifying shit happens to Miles O'Brien he's still expected to show up for work the next day.
