an underused tumblr revived from the dead due to unforeseen fandom circumstances. mostly trek with sides of... other stuff. NZ.

[pilcrowtudinous]

very aggravated that streaming services seem hellbent on preventing me from legally watching things i want to watch. first all the star trek removal from anywhere bullshit. and now criminal minds not doing ep by ep releasing on disney+ as i had assumed it would?

goddammit. once more unto the 🏴‍☠️

spoilers for criminal minds season 19 episode one under the thing

so i literally started watching criminal minds properly (like i’d seen maybe half a season prior) when jeri ryan was announced for the new season. and i definitely got into it and am glad i watched it and obviously now am in love with paget brewster etc etc.

but i really thought that with a relatively substantial announcement for jeri being on the show she was at least going to be recurring!! not just a one episode somewhat supplementary character! she did some great acting. but i’m still pretty salty that after all that time it was ultimately for maybe ten minutes max screen time?

i guess it’s possible that her character will pop up again for some reason. but it seems unlikely.

plus SUSAN as a character name??? erica messner, be so for real. jeri doesn’t deserve a boomer-ass name.

I love the randomness of the kudos email. It’s the fic I wrote this week. The one that’s 13 years old. The one that I don’t remember what it’s about or even what fandom it is.

Thanks lovely readers. <3 your taste is mysterious and wonderful.

TEEN CABENSON AU !!!!!!! @meepitydoodle ty for being as normal about this as i am.

More to come in the beautiful 2026

In the show they have a bit of an age gap but for the sake of the AU they're like, the same age in the 80's. In my head i keep bouncing between 80's au and modern au. Much to think about.

no because i am at my lowest ebb for real

it should be the best! it’s summer! it’s the holidays! i have a house!

but i am SO lonely and SO behind in life and every little moment of joy in nature (eg the waterfall from today) is a little bit of dopamine in that moment that then disappears entirely like it was never there.

newly single

mid thirties

broke as hell and now with added mortgage

perpetually exhausted

not reading enough/ever

not getting any joy from any watching

no pets yet

no kids yet

11 relationship ended and precious little to show for it except a lack of any kind of life development

no writing

limited friends

no idea of any travel future

rampant adhd

just completed and utterly despondency if i’m honest

unfit

too sad to figure out my thesis

too anxious to talk to anyone apart from shouting into the void which is just gonna freak people out more

it all fucking sucks so much and if summer and waterfalls still manages to be this bleak how the hell am i going to handle life when work starts up again? jesus.

tumblr, you really aren’t pulling your weight for filling the livejournal hole as far as venting at length to the internet and waiting for sympathy and ideas and support tbh

[raffaelamusiker]

I’ve got a week to finish watching Enterprise before it leaves Netflix 🏃

[pilcrowtudinous]

This is why I cancelled my Netflix because rewatching VOY over and over and slowly getting through other Treks was literally the main reason I still had it.

And now I have available to me:

Picard (thank goodness) on Prime

SNW S3 on TVNZ+

DIS S5 on TVNZ+

And that’s it. No other legally streamable Trek for me.

STAR TREK: PRODIGY // S1E3 Starstruck I must say, when the Federation first formed, it wasn't pretty. A collection of species, entirely unfamiliar to each other, different languages, different cultures, but with one shared aspiration: to be better. I've seen my share of wayward crews, and I can tell you this– you've got potential.

Have I put this thought out into this corner of the universe? Who knows.

Anyway. It’s always funny to me that basically 90% of my internet pals are diehard Xena fans. Another five percent have at least watched it. And yet, I live where it was filmed and I think I could tell you two or three people I’ve ever known IRL who have watched it.

It’s just peculiar, I suppose. Maybe if I ever manage to find sapphic friends in this city I’ve lived basically my whole damn life that would change.

(For the record, I have watched a few episodes now, but only in the last couple of years.)

As a thank you for reading my rambles, and partial proof of concept, here are some photos of Te Henga/Bethells Beach (and surroundings) which evidently is a Xena feature, and a 40-minute drive from my house.

This time, she's absolutely in control of her vasovagal response. So it's a compound fracture. Big deal. She's done it before. Sure, she was with other people, other people who could wield bone knitters and dermal regenerators, but still.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: DANIEL SELON IS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT AND SWEETHEART. He was SO delighted by all the Agatha cosplays and so enthusiastic and took time for all of us who were blathering about how much we loved the show and his work on it and generally all round top notch human.

Look I'm not even a B'Elanna fan, and I'm even further from a B7 fan, but even I can acknowledge that the woman definitely knows her way around a strap.

But the correct answer is still Raffi.
