Learning Groove

Life long learner trying to live a passionate life. I want to make sure I am aware of the world around me and can speak well with and about the many different people I meet. Oh, yeah, and definitely not straight.

AU where B'Elanna and Tom are good friends but she doesn’t really see herself having any kind of deeper relationship with him because she’s in love with the captain. Tom says he understands; he is also in love with the captain. Harry finds out they’re not together anymore and they tell him why. Harry understands because he too has a crush on the captain. Neelix finds out about all of this and is glad to know that he’s not the only one who adores her. Tuvok sees them hobnobbing and becomes concerned that they might be planning a potential security risk, but once he hears their topic of conversation he leaves for a few hours of meditation because it is inappropriate for a Vulcan to love their captain. Seven becomes concerned about Tuvok’s prolonged absence and winds up in a discussion with him about the complexities of emotions such as love and whether it’s appropriate to love your commanding officer.

Chakotay doesn’t notice any of this because he’s too busy daydreaming about how much he loves his captain.

Yep. I accept this.

Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, Once I spoke the language of the flowers… . How did it go? How did it go?

Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends (via quoted-books)

The only thing that ever bugged me about this series was that Toby is the wrong breed of dog....everything else is so perfect.

Sigh.

Him: Which one is better, Picard or Kirk?

Me: Janeway.

Him: I knew you were gonna say that. She's the worst!

Me: No! Fight me. Janeway was the best Star Trek Captain.

Him: She blew her ship up no less than three times. She made mistakes.

Me: She not only got her ship home in one piece, she went into the past and did it again to get her crew home sooner.

Him: Which shows she screwed up the first time.

Me: No! It shows she cared and needed to do more for her crew. Fight me. I'll defend Janeway to my dying breath.

during this massive resurgence in star wars hype, i’d like to remind you all that one of the people you’re idolizing - Carrie Fisher - has bipolar disorder. don’t you ever forget that. we are everywhere, we can do great things even while we struggle, we are important, and we deserve to be recognized as such.

For real. I also love that she’s talking about it during interviews and panels, and when people bring up her dog like he’s a fun quirky pet on set, she’s very quick to remind them no, he’s a service dog, he helps her to function.

Also her book Wishful Drinking is hilarious and heartbreaking as she talks about her life and her problems with addiction (which arose as an attempt to self medicate), and Shockaholic continues on in a very frank manner as she talks about how her problems almost lost her custody of her daughter Billie, as well as her life, and how she’s finally found a treatment (electric shock therapy) which is helping her, but also eradicating chunks of her memory. To paraphrase her “she’s losing her mind to stop herself from losing her mind”.

She’s abrasively sharp, witty and frankly hilarious, even when she’s talking about heartbreaking subjects. And yet there’s still fuckers out there talking about how much she’s let herself go over the years and how she should make more effort if she’s gonna be Princess Leia again, and they have no idea, no idea how much effort she puts in to staying alive every day, let alone staying functional and appearing in a movie franchise as big and overwhelming as Star Wars.

Everyone characterizes Leia as this profoundly strong and enduring character. But the character of Leia has got nothing on Carrie Fisher.

[learninggroove]

Carrie Fisher is the queen.

Breaking down barriers and stigma where ever she goes. Because that’s what the world needs to understand.

Well, she’s absolutely the answer to “Kirk or Picard?”.
