The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

711.6k notes? I show 419k!

Did they try and push through a note splitter again???

The Quiet In Late January, Before The World Wakes Up

[elysianholly]

ugh

So I'm listening to the Seeing Red episode of Another Buffy Podcast and I had a thought that made me hate Xander even more than I already do.

In The Pack, Xander tries to rape Buffy. Buffy does not share that info with anyone beyond a flippant, unobserved/dissected comment she makes to Willow that absolutely does not allude to how violent the assault was. She doesn't even tell Xander (!!!), as she believes he is unaware. She chooses to SPARE him that trauma.

Xander chooses to feign amnesia to get past it. He remembers exactly what he did and he avoids all the discomfort associated with it.

After Seeing Red, Xander can't stop himself from telling everyone, including Buffy's sister, that Spike tried to rape Buffy, expressly AGAINST Buffy's wishes. He also mentions it in Season 7, like, "Don't you dare forget he tried to rape you the way I pretended to forget I tried to rape you and you let me without ever weaponizing it against me the way I weaponize this against you!"

I said this on the actual story, but I'm lowkey opening up requests for Trek kisses. I absolutely make no guarantee I will fulfil every one, because I know myself, but I enjoy writing kisses (awkward, random, platonic, romantic, sexual, first kisses, last kisses) and I wanna practise and I thought I might as well throw this open to the room, as it were!

I will either add them to the story or create a new one in series with it, haven't decided yet, probably depends on what requests I get if I get any.

Obviously currently obsessed with my OT3, and you're probably more likely to get a quick response if you use one of the ships I already ship, but I'm broadly familiar with all the mains and regulars from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, DIS s2, SNW. I am very vaguely familiar with ENT, but I don't know the characters well. Will have a go if prompted.

Again, no promises, but I will do my best.

If you wanna know the things I already ship on some level, here's the probably not exhaustive list!

Ships I have written for/highkey ship:

Kathryn Janeway/Chakotay/Chris Pike (any combination including regular non-Pike JC and OT3)

Garashir, duh

Julian/Jadzia (listen they're not endgame but they're hella fun)

Julian/Captain Jack Harkness

Katrine/Miller (Kathryn and Chakotay in the WWII holodeck sim)

Things I lowkey ship even if I haven't written it: (bearing in mind that not having written these I may discover that I am a failboat at them BUT I WILL TRY.)

Tom/B'Elanna/Harry, any combination or OT3

Captain Jack Harkness/anyone (he's fun to write and fits well into the Trekverse, especially now)

(While I'm at it, I am also 100% up to randomly write the Ninth or Tenth Doctor kissing Trek people... maybe Donna too?)

Chris Pike/most people he's shared a screen with (and several he hasn't) (special shoutout to Joseph M'Benga beloved but I can ship Pike with almost everyone )

Riker/Troi

Uhura/whoever she wants because she deserves the world, ditto Jadzia, Una, Guinan and Kira, probably Pelia though I have no clue who I'd ship her with

La'an/Kirk

Baby Scotty/open to suggestions, I just fucking adore him

Qcard

Julian/anyone

Burnham/Tilly

Culber/Stamets

I don't remember especially shipping anyone on ENT but Malcolm and Trip were my favourites, may need to actually wait for a rewatch for me to write them though because it's been a hot minute.

Also if you look at the fandoms and pairings I've written other than Trek and go "okay but what about this crossover pairing", again I will give it my best shot!

I feel like I'm probably missing some here but it's a start.

And I absolutely will have a stab at others.

I'll try most things. I REALLY make no promises if they're outside my usual wheelhouse but I'll try. I really wanna practice writing kisses, they're fun, so while I'm here... 🤣

"kill them with kindness" lame, overused, agressive without being particularly powerful

"my kindness is my sword" indirect, soft but sexy, istg like yes pls press that sword into my chest omg-

My girlfriend and I talk a lot about our different generations of queerness, because she was doing queer activism in the 1990s and I wasn’t.

And she’s supportive of my writing about queerness but also kind of bitter about how quickly her entire generation’s history has disappeared into a bland “AIDS was bad, gay marriage solved homophobia” narrative, and now we’re having to play catch-up to educate young LGBTQ+ people about queer history and queer theory. It gets pretty raw sometimes.

I mean, a large part of the reason TERFs have been good at educating the young and queer people haven’t is, in the 80s and 90s the leading lights of TERFdom got tenured university positions, and the leading lights of queerdom died of AIDS.

“Excuse us,” she said bitterly the other day, not at me but to me, “for not laying the groundwork for children we never thought we’d have in a future none of us thought we’d be alive for.”

[aphilologicalbatman-deactivated]

thank you for giving me a good reason to finish my dissertation and try to make it in the academy

[brs-love]

Wait, idk LGBTQ+ history, but they died of AIDS cause, what, hospitals refused to treat them or…?

[flootzavut]

It’s absolutely wild to me (and this is not by any stretch a judgement on you, brs-love, it’s literally like a generational thing) that HIV/AIDS is more or less accepted as a chronic, treatable illness now. Like the drugs used to keep it at bay are pretty nasty, but they exist, and there might even be a vaccine sometime soon.

As someone who was a kid/teen in the 80s and 90s, that absolutely just… breaks my mind a little. The spectre of AIDS was terrifying when I was a kid, it was untreatable, it was a horrible way to die, and it carried enormous stigma. When I was in uni, I had to get a blood test to prove I was HIV negative in order to get a visa to go to Russia, and even though the chance I had contracted HIV was minuscule, it scared the shit out of me. It was only a couple of years after they’d started using HAART (and I wasn’t even aware of that at the time), so however small the chance, as far as I was concerned, as far as I knew, it was a death sentence. For my entire childhood and adolescence, the only treatment was basically palliative, and even when we got to the stage where people weren’t automatically refused treatment, there just… wasn’t an effective treatment to be had.

Honestly it’s wonderful that anyone is growing up in a world where 1) there being effective treatments and 2) people having access to them, at least in wealthy countries, is taken for granted, but I cannot tell you how much it messes with my brain that one of the most terrifying illnesses of my formative years is now basically… manageable? It’s just. It blows my mind.

And they’re working on a vaccine. It’s just. It’s really hard to explain how utterly earth-shattering that is to those of us who grew up (and those who were older than me, obviously) when AIDS was so new and so absolutely terrifying. (And I didn’t even know I was queer.)

Much has been said about how difficult it is to pick a favorite TAD song, but do you guys have any that you've mentally labeled HANDLE WITH CARE? Like, you love it a lot but some days you just cannot physically and spiritually handle the emotional gut-punch.

Mine's "Little Miss Why So."

[hiddlesbiscuit]

Ruin. Aptly named song.

Also Fair, in a totally different way.
