I hate having emotions about reality;

I'd much rather have emotions about the murderbot diaries, star trek, doctor who, the magnus archives/protocol, project hail mary and my cat. 21. He/it 🏳️‍⚧️

AO3 Writer Affirmations:

I do not have to reinvent the wheel every time I write fanfiction

I do not have to make every chapter's word count above 1,000 in order for it to be good

It is okay if some things don't make sense

I can write whatever I want

I am writing this shit for free

If people don't like my stuff, they can block me. If they're being mean about it, I can block them.

The most important part of writing fanfiction is having fun

Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun

I do not have to appeal to people

This shit is fun

I am doing this all for free, and anyone who objects can go eat wet sand and worms from the sidewalk

[eeveearoace]

I can write the same thing multiple times

I can write the same thing as someone else

My chapters don't all have to be the same length

It's never to late to go back

I don't have to finish it if I don't want to

I can choose just to write the scenes I want to write

If Stratt and Grace ever got to meet again, or at least speak again

Grace would say “I understand”

Not “I forgive you”

Because he doesn’t

And Stratt would say “I miss you”

Not “I’m sorry”

Because she isn’t

The thing about really long series is that they start to develop their own tropes. And if they go on long enough, they get the opportunity to subvert their own tropes.

There's a sort of running gag with the Star Trek engineers. Something will need to get done, the captain asks how long it will take, and the engineer gives an estimate. The captain will then say they need it done twice as fast, or more. They then usually pull it off somehow. This is the done thing. TVtropes calls it "Scotty Time", after the engineer from the first series.

We get this same interaction over and over across multiple series, from multiple different pairs of captains and engineers. By the later seasons of Next Generation they're already riffing on it. One scene establishes that the initial estimate is usually actually already longer than they'll actually need, because captains love to pressure their crews and the engineers know this, so getting it done in less time than initially proposed makes them look good. This ritual has by this point been established as Starfleet standard, seen in the original series, Next Generation, and prominently in Deep Space Nine.

So then we get to Star Trek Voyager, and we have our captain Janeway and our chief engineer B'elanna Torres, and we know how this is gonna go. In a season one episode, sure enough, Janeway asks that whatever needs to be done gets done in half the estimated time, and... Torres stops her. No, she says, it takes as long as it takes, it can't be done faster. And her face is dead serious. Janeway is momentarily surprised but doesn't protest. And it's some great characterization for both of them. It establishes Torres as an honest and hard working officer, a straight shooter who doesn't take shortcuts. She'll look her commanding officer in the face and just say the truth. And it establishes Janeway as someone experienced but not incapable of adapting to her crew. She knows how this interaction is supposed to work, but takes Torres at her word, and doesn't repeat this trope for the rest of the series. I like it a lot. Idk end of post

I think if MB is overly expressive (or at least more than it wants to be), than Three is like zero expressiveness to the extent it doesn't like it. Like I like imaging Three having the autism face thing where it could be happy as hell or in complete despair, but it always just looks vaguely neutral. People have a hard understanding how earnest it is, or what it's feeling because of this and it makes it sad :(

I keep seeing people saying that peter and frank have a "father/son dynamic" or a "uncle/nephew dynamic" but you are all wrong. They have the dynamic of the older coworker that you are way to close with when you're in your 20s. We've all had that coworker. Thats your best friend kinda. But it only works in a work setting

Episode 168, Roots. (roots theory) This one is quite chilling. I think it solidified my alignment to Terminus. It's not like any of the other powers, as it exists almost on a level below them. Death is the fear underlying all others, the fear of endings is the purest of them all. Why is one afraid of heights, if not for the stop at the bottom? Why would men fear judgement, or isolation, or fire, or spiders if those things did not lead to their demise? The Flesh cannot fear the dark nor The Spiral being choked, but they all can fear their own depletion, their Termination. It's special.
