Yeah, yeah, Cassandra Clare got her start writing fanfic, old news.

Rebecca Thorne wrote She-Ra fanfic before writing Tomes & Tea.

Matt Dinniman wrote GI Joe and Transformers crossover fanfic before writing Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Pierce Brown wrote Greek Mythology fanfic before writing Red Rising.

Andy Weir wrote Ready Player One fanfic that later got canonized by Ernest Cline before writing The Martian.

Fanfic has never been, and will never be inferior to published works, and writing one does not discredit or devalue the quality of your work when writing another.

It's tax season in the USA and that means it's time for a yearly PSA for fellow USAmericans!

Don't be fooled by bullshit like Turbotax. If you make less than $89,000 a year (I'd say confidently that's 99% of Tumblr), you are entitled to use the IRS free file tool for your taxes. This page from the IRS lists all the software providers they have partnered with to provide this service. I have only used one on the list, but it was as good as or maybe better than Turbotax, and I repeat, free for the federal tax return. You MIGHT still have to pay a fee to file a state tax return, but it should be nominal. If you don't want to do it online, you can also go to the IRS to print out the forms directly and turn them in.

DO NOT let Turbotax trick you out of money. Drop them like a hot potato. This is a "fuck Turbotax" account.

I need tiktokers to understand that ao3 has been home for the freaks (affectionate) ever since the day it was created. the entire site was created because “dark and fucked up fics” were banned and removed from other platforms, so us freaks came together and created a site for other freaks — a site where nothing is censored, a site with no algorithm, no capitalism, no ads, and again, absolutely no censorship.

this has been our house for decades. you newbies don’t come into our house and tell us how to arrange our furniture. either be nice and respect our house, or leave and build your own house elsewhere.

As hinted at in my previous post, here is a new Kirk painting I did recently! When I started painting, it wasn't intended to be a faux comic book cover, but somehow that's what it turned into.

trail cam feral rumi spotted

I know she is scuttlin round Jeju island at midnight during training years, coming home covered in leaves. feral k popper spotted on trail cam

[whitebeltwriter-fics]

and now I'm tempted to write a ficlet where a young Rumi was an absolute menace at night: running through the forest and accidentally (usually) scaring the bejeesus out of people because she lowkey has night vision and it took a Very Long Time for her to realize that normal humans don't.

This did not stop her from messing with tourists whenever possible, but I digress.

Then a few years later her girls come to the estate and Zoey hears the legend of a local cryptid who stalks hiking trails at night and is like "we should try to find it! :D" leading to a couple of stakeouts that usually end with Mira complaining about insects and/or the three of them falling asleep.

Unsure which would be funnier: Rumi knowing she's the cryptid in question and trying to hide it OR her having no idea at all and basically trying to catch herself.

Celine 100% knows it's her but a) sees it as harmless bonding time/stakeout practice and b) also hates tourists and so is all for Rumi teaching them a thing or two and making them steer clear of the estate

[rosstmcd]

Celine: Girls, it is finally time for me to tell you a secret. I have kept it to myself until now because frankly it was funnier that way.

Mira/Rumi/Zoey: ???

Celine: The creature of the Jeju forest you've been hunting is Rumi.

Mira: ...what?

Zoey: ...wut?

Rumi: Wait, what?! How?

Celine: Rumi, do you remember how, when you were little, you would climb out your window at night and run naked through the woods and jumpscare tourists?

Mira: You did what now?

Zoey: ...naked?

Rumi: Yeah, but that was years ago! I was like five!

Mira: You let a five-year-old run around in the woods at night by herself?

Celine: Oh, I didn't "let" her. I tried a lot of ways to keep her in. One time I even nailed her window shut. But have you ever tried to stop her from doing anything she wants to do?

Zoey: Yeah, good point.

Rumi: Hey!

Celine: In any case, she's half-demon, there was nothing she could run into out there more dangerous than she was.

Mira: She's a WHAT!!??

Rumi: You told me not to tell them that!

Celine: I also told you not to go into the woods at night. Since when do you listen to me when I tell you not to do things?

Rumi: I WAS FIVE!!!

baby Rumi cryptid spotted important new sightings @whitebeltwriter-fics

[whitebeltwriter-fics]

Celine reading a local newspaper talking about how an entire camper van full of tourists was scared away from an area that was within sight of the estate by some sort of "small purple imp".

Looks over at a 5 yo Rumi, grinning broadly and with a few leaves still stuck in her hair.

Celine, smiling right back: Good girl, Rumi-ya. If you can keep people away for a whole week I'll take you to the teddy bear museum.

Rumi: Yay~♡

[yaketysmax]

She is ready to scare she is wildly excited Gwi Ma forbid a girl has hobbies

Time Travel Creature Rumi AU

R: Zoey I don't think this is a good idea. The creature probably isn't real anyways. (Rumi knows damn well that the creature was her)

Z: This is a great idea Rumi, trust me its totally legit!

M: You say that about all of your crazy plans. (🙄 /lh)

Z: There is no way this can fail its just a simple trail camera. We are going to get actual footage of le créature. 😈

R: If Celine could hear your french right now I think she would maul us before the creature could.

Z: My french is not that bad! I've been taking lessons.

M: Zoey, I love you, but you have the weirdest french accent I have ever heard.

Z: That's Pop Pop's fault not mine.

Zoey places trail camera next to a tree.

Z: Now we wait. 😈

R & M: Here?

Z: Sometimes I forget how sheltered you two are.

One week later they go back out to the trail cam to see if it caught anything on camera.

Z: Whoa what the hell happened?!

M: I don't think the creature likes its picture taken Zo.

Rumi is extremely confused, she hasn't done "creature" activities since she was 7.

Z: Hopefully the SD card still works.

A video loads on Zoey's laptop. Its black and white view of the forest. for a minute nothing happens then there is some rustling in the bushes. In a flash the video cuts out. Zoey then goes frame by frame and there is 1 frame with a clear view.

M: Is that...

Z: Rumi?!?!?!

In the center of the frame has 7 year old Rumi. Even in black and white her braid is very distinct. She was wearing a white tank top and grey sweatpants that were covered in mud. Her patterns were luckily covered by the same mud. Her eyes were shining the same way a cats would. Rumi had one missing front tooth and baby fangs that made her already crazed smile seem even more unhinged.

R: Don't look at me, I've been with you the whole time.

Mira squints at Rumi. Zoey keeps looking back and forth between the laptop and Rumi. Rumi starts nervously playing with her hair. Before anyone can say something they hear rustling in the branches above them.

Kid Rumi: IMPOSTER!!!!!

Kid Rumi jumps down on top of Rumi and starts attacking her. They fall to the ground as Rumi tries to wrestle her kid self off of her.

R: Zoey! Mira! Help me!

Both Mira and Zoey are keeled over laughing their brains out.

Z: Sorry Rumi but this is too cute.

M: Is it weird that I want little Rumi to win?

R: Traitors... Get... Celine!

Kid Rumi jumps off Rumi and runs back into the forest, screaming "No Celine!" over and over again.

Star Trek history...

----------------------------------

Have you ever notice how Spock frequently stood with his hands behind his back, like this...

... and this?

Why?

Was it a Vulcan manner-ism or something? While it projected a calm, controlled, and logical Vulcan demeanor and emphasizes his disciplined nature, in many cases it was because of this...

Nimoy was a smoker (which would contribute to his death years later) and since he couldn't light up on set, he developed a fondness for Tootsie Roll Pops. He had them stashed in handy spots on set and in the compartments of his tricorder, and the hands-behind-the-back pose let him have one in his hand for between takes but still keep it out-of-shot.

I wonder what his favorite flavor was? I assume it was quite logically selected.

——————————-

End of line.

[reffitt-blog1]

Fun fact: this is used to authenticate tricorders that were used on set, because they all have candy residue in them

Leonard Nimoy stashed Tootsie Pops in his Tricorder

Mr. Spock's candy habits help authenticate classic 'Star Trek' props.
