#it's the way he assumes he has to defend himself #assumes no one else will - because no one ever does #not since starfleet threw him to the wolves for trying to do the right thing #the way that he has no reason to think that anyone on voyager considers him *crew*#and then suddenly for the first time in - what? years? - he starts to step up to the fight and #he doesn't have to do it #someone else does it for him #someone who owes him nothing #...yet #janeway x paris #star trek voyager #voy: caretaker #grissomesque edits #trekedit

Y’all.

I have to share.

So I was watching this episode and when T’Pol said, “Dismissed,” I did my very best Janeway imitation to say, “That’s a Starfleet expression for ‘get out.’”

Then, when T’Pol actually said, “Get out,” I screeched and, speaking through laughter, asked my husband to please pause the video while I messaged the wonderful, fabulous, loves-a-parallel @grissomesque to ask for this gifset.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my friend. It’s gorgeous and perfect.

And now, I’ll (gratefully) see myself out.

'twas as ever an honor and a privilege. trek parallels are a love language and so is making gifs for friends. 🫡💕

"You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other

On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

Humans are expressive, social creatures. Art allows us to express ourselves and is best done for the joy of it, and one of the most natural ways for humans to enjoy things is to share them with others.

this is literally so important to me

I may be chiller and wiser in my old(er) age, but I know for a fact I was smarter in my youth because I used to be able to install one hundred Oblivion mods... manually.

Idea: Both Grace and Rocky get annoyed that the other cannot experience the world like they can and try to come up with ways to compensate for the other’s lacking senses.

For instance Grace desperately wants Rocky to be able to experience color so as not to think so many motionless sights are boring. To reveal the hidden beauty afforded by human sight. So he starts working on a higher definition version of Rocky’s flat image to textured surface visualizer. He devises to use micro-textures to stand in for color, interviewing Eridians to come up with pleasing patterns to simulate colors based on the emotional associations those patterns evoke, like synesthesia in humans. For instance how red is “warm/passionate/exciting” blue is “calm/cold/deep” and so on. Gathering enough patterns to make a beginner palette and then finding ways to interpolate and blend between them to come up with enough colors to fill the entire spectrum. It takes several tries and misses but when Grace gets it nailed down and the Eridians can “see” they are THRILLED by it. The whole world takes on hidden depths. They would all immediately want to know what colors they are. They would probably extrapolate off the existing microtextures to start coming up with new “colors” all their own. Adding patterns to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums. Incorporate them into fashion and entertainment media. Have a field day with the new way of experiencing the world.

Meanwhile Rocky is stricken by Grace having such a narrow pinhole view of the world compared to what his echolocation awareness affords. Grace can’t feel the expanse of everything. Or see the tiny microfine details. Grace’s sense of sound and of his surroundings is so FLAT. So Rocky brainstorms to find some way to express the volume of it all and arrives at Haptics to let touch make up the difference. Before Grace knows it he’s got pads strapped to his chest, his shoulders, arms, head, back of the neck, belly, groin, all the places. Wherever he has sensitive clusters of nerve endings that will help him feel the topography of the noise against his skin. The first time Grace gets the full effect of it it’s like WAY too much and he has to quickly escape and convince Rocky to dial it back majorly before he can go again. It takes some time to work up to, but when he manages, Grace marvels at how different soundscapes FEEL different ways, some perceived more across his back or his scalp or in his chest and others better distributed across the whole of him in ways that elicit anxiety or calm. Neutrality. Intensity. Joy or sorrow.

But ESPECIALLY it would give him a newfound appreciation for the Eridian’s musical language. How different intonations elicit unexpected emotions and certain words and names just FEEL good across your skin or carapace. How unexpectedly powerful and even intimate speech can be when you feel it so pervasively.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
