Chapter 2 Summary:

Her brows raise in legitimate shock. As if the question left her stunned. “Rights were waived upon contraction,” she retorts with practiced ease. There's no malignancy in her tone but casual certainty. “You’re mine, I don’t need t-”

“I am not one of your rabbits nor will I ever be. I am a person and you need to ask me before you try these things.”

Pairing: Moira O'Deorain x Reader

Summary: You're the new assistant who just got the dream job of a century working alongside the infamous Dr. O’Deorain. You've got it all: a promising career in Blackwatch, a colleague that doesn't mind long stretches of silence, and a hunger for research and study. The geneticist isn't as much of a boogeyman as people made her out to be. Even when she's looking at you with such fascination when she hears you've got quite the tolerance for pain.

Now the question is: how are you going to keep yourself from becoming her next experiment?

Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? It’s ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like “oh I love that show I thought the premise was lovely” and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like “do you accept the premise because I do” and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said “the premise is all I wrote about, dear” and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesn’t matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that

Reblogging to spread knowledge about the Premise, because I absolutely love that bit of fandom, and I want to make sure that it survives. (and yay to everyone who is part of today’s 10,000!)

Fanfic culture as we know it today owes so much to older fans, especially older women, who were obsessed with The Premise.

This was a world before widespread internet, before sites like fanfiction dot net let alone anything like AO3, and long before queer media became more widely acceptable. The Hays Code, which forbade Hollywood from depicting “sexual perversion” which gay representation was considered, was only repealed in 1968, and many still unofficially stuck to it and that part especially for longer. Original Star Trek was canceled in 1969, the same year as Stonewall. But in the early 70s, fans were collaborating and making fan zines containing writings about The Premise, distributing physical copies at conventions and creating mailing lists. Later came private email chains.

In a world with so many factors working against it, large groups of fans decided they were so invested in the idea of these two men together that they would MAKE ways to share their work and acquire new content from others.

Transformative fiction existed in ways before. Adaptations of other stories have existed about as long as stories have, and I’m sure people had written their own little reimaginings and “headcanon” side stories for themselves and friends before. But the culture of spreading it far and wide, of collaborating to do so… If it hadn’t been Spirk, maybe it still would have developed similarly later/slower, but we can’t be sure. In the world we have, though, we owe old ladies who loved The Premise everything. 🙏

okay context for the non-italians. long story short: it's pretty much impossible from an engineering perspective. there are very strong and swirly currents that make it not feasible to just build a bridge where the coasts are the closest - it would have to be built in a spot where the distance between the coasts is wider, a little too much for a bridge possibly, but also, like, outside of the cities, which means it would still be quicker for people to step on the ferry than drive all the way to the bridge. the ferry is quick, cheap, also they've introduced sustainable non-polluting boats, so, literally no one in either sicily or calabria wants a useless bridge, even if it could be built safely.

on top of that... it's a seismic area. you really don't want to make engineering experiments there.

governments have tried to figure out a way to build that bridge at least from the 60s, afaik, but engineers have just come to the conclusion that nope.

also: people in sicily and calabria have reason to believe that if a project like that gets given the green light, it will end up fattening the pockets of corrupted politicians and mafia groups.

pretty straightforward right? yeah... NOPE!

the italian right has been waving the proposal of building that bridge for decades. every once in a while, when you think you're free, BAM the right-wing politician genius of the moment comes up with the law proposal to build the bridge. it used to be berlusconi, now berlusconi is dead, recently it's been salvini. they propose to build the bridge, the left says "what the fuck", and the right goes see!! the left doesn't want progress and development for the country!! they want the country to languish and die!!

(in the meanwhile taxpayers' euros go into paying commissions that need to figure out how to build the bridge, ignoring that there's been a billion commissions over almost a century that have all come to the conclusion that nope.)

(also remember what i said about corrupted politicians and mafia groups? well try to guess the reason it's the right-wing parties that keep insisting on building this fucking bridge.)

it's become a total national joke. mention the bridge on the strait to an italian, they'll laugh as they go through the 5 stages of italian political grief.
