random re-introduction

my tumblr got hacked and i lost all my followers and follow-ees and posts so that sucks

- fandom elder (trying to vaguely obscure the connection to my cringe kid stuff, but if the kudos are from Cr a sh Ca rt 9, that’s also me just fyi)

AO3: Cr as hCa r t9 with subpseud fenrisranger

- any/all pronouns (but mostly vibe with they/he)

reactivated my Tumblr to hang out around fandom again because i'm at a severe dopamine deficit and have been Thirteenth Doctor and Thasmin trash since Arachnids in the UK, and thought I was the only one since I had dropped off the face of the fandom-earth

then got suckered into hanging around by Star Trek: Picard (I feel like a terrible nerd admitting it but I've not had the time to keep up with Disco -- Jeri Ryan gets a carved out timeslot in my schedule any day, though)

.

february '22 update: still here, I made this TARDIS cowl, please look at it I’m very proud

october '22 update: fuck I'm not ready for Power of the Doctor, so I'm coping these remaining few(!) days by blasting out as many of my Whoverse WIPs as possible -- Complex (vid), Recessional (vid), Dancing with the Doctor (pwp fic), Message Received (matchmaker River fic that's trash but I don't think I've ever done epistolary form before)

Summer '23: where I went absolutely insane and threw down like 150k (not all of it published yet) of mostly Saffi works (a few other Star Trek couples as well, but the majority for ST: PIC. That's like 8 times my previous (completed works) lifelong word count total.

Fall '23: where I cannibalized big chunks of aforementioned giant Saffi fic because I'm going to have to rewrite it from scratch if I want to be happy with it, but then completed both Star Trek Femslash Week and Ye Olde October Prompte Meme (Saffi version), and that was an experience but talk about writing practice I haven't ever gotten close to attempting before, especially in terms of . . . expanding one's horizons.

below cut: just bookkeeping, links to notable tags.

I’m terrible at tagging things in a consistent way such that I can do anything archival, but I’m working on it, specifically spurred by wanting to collect all the Saffi meta into one place.

Some that I’ve been better about using (rather than just picking whatever A/B or B x A pattern or other randomly relevant tag suits my fancy that day) may include:

x   OTP: we’ll be outcasts together for B’Elanna/Seven

x   Trying to go back and put #Saffi on everything Seven/Raffi, but probably missed stuff from s1/before we decided that was the ship name

x   Have been reasonably consistent with Thasmin and Garashir and Spirk I think.  (Which is ironic bc tbh I honestly do not prefer portmanteaus as ship names [exception granted to Saffi because that’s too fucking perfect] but I guess this is what we mostly do now.)

x   Don’t really think other ships have been significantly posted enough to deserve mentioning/spending my time standardizing.

x  If there’s a significant amount of OC on my part (even in tags), might organizationally append “my thoughts” (might be fandom, might be RL stuff, might be a picture of my cats, so that probably should be re-organized but I shouldn’t have even spent this much time trying to sort things lol)

Probably chronological, as it tracks with T'Pring's transition from 'this is deeply inappropriate' to 'I do not care.' XD

Jake Peralta is Bisexual: Canon Evidence

“Dammit Diane, what are you doing after this?” // ”Dammit, what are you doing after this Gerald?” 

Then saying “I’m gonna die alone” by the end of the episode when I don’t recall anything regarding Sophia or Amy in that ep. 

Pimento: “White guy, svelte, thick brown hair, piercing blue eyes…I don’t know I guess you could consider him classically handsome? Is that weird to say?” Jake: “No. I mean - is it? No - I don’t think so.” 

“Not gonna lie, that turns me on a little bit” - to Holt after Holt was threatening/competitive /// “God you’re being so mean. Do it more.” - To Amy, after she was being rude/competitive (side note Jake also has a mean kink lmao) 

Thinking the annoying ass close partners were “awful, for sure…all tall and beautiful”. 

Honestly he’s out here appreciating men’s looks constantly and he does it way more than Terry or Charles do. 

Literally any time he looks at guys. 

Talks about the perp being hot and when Amy said “I’d like to bring him to justice” responded with “We all would” 

Being wayyyy too into his “Rosa coming out as bi” speech that he had just on the ready. 

Does puns, finger guns, and wears leather jackets on a regular basis.

This Iconic Look™: 

tl;dr Jake Peralta is bisexual and doesn’t actively know it yet and if he’s straight so am I and that’s unrealistic lmao so b99 chop chop make it happen k thanks love you guys byeeeee
