Fulliautomatix : Cacofonix, has anyone ever told you that you sing beautifully?

Cacofonix: No

Fulliautomatix: Then why do you sing?

Cacofonix:

The Julian Bashir appreciation really sneaks up on ya. I never thought I’d be a bashirhead to this degree but now I see him and I say that is my friend.

you just got a shitty new job and you’re trying to make the best of it but you have to move to a recently active war zone and the office is literally in in shambles and your new coworker immediately makes sure you know just how much she hates you and the man who’s arguably responsible for your wife’s death shows up to give you a pep talk while a guy formerly in charge of your new department sends you a passive-aggressive (and vaguely flirtatious) Skype call that basically confirms he plans to be an ongoing pain in your ass. also gods from a metaphysical plane beyond human comprehension contact you directly so that you can explain linear time to them while also replaying one of the most traumatic moments in your life and in return they basically appoint you as figurehead for a religion you don’t even believe in. on an unrelated note, you’ve blackmailed the shadiest guy in the office to stick around so that the whole mini-economy doesn’t collapse and meanwhile the people next door are still insisting that you are the official Space Moses. it’s only been a few days

yknow I saw that gifset of Garak's actor before I ever started watching star trek - you know the one, the interview gifset - so I knew going in that there was going to be gay subtext. but holy shit, you guys. Garak doesn't just wanna fuck Bashir. that man is a whole entire homosexual. that man is a queen. or like. a princess at minimum. the actor put his whole pussy into being a gay lizard and he's going to heaven for it

some asterix hcs nobody asked for ✨

Obelix doesn't get cold in the winter for a number of reasons but Asterix insists he wear a scarf and gloves anyway

Speaking of, Asterix is the village's professional worrywart (thankfully he's chilled out as he's gotten older)

In winters with particularly heavy snow, Asterix will ride on Obelix’s shoulder so he doesn’t get stuck

Cacofonix likes to people-watch from his cottage and has some of the best gossip bc of it 👀

Getafix secretly keeps a store of placebo potions for hypochondriac villagers (it’s mostly tea)

Asterix and Obelix have such bad separation anxiety that if they’re away from each other for too long they make themselves sick bc they’re drama queens lol

Getafix is a true workaholic who hates sleeping and can go up to a week without it, but he’ll then have to crash for an entire day afterwards

Whenever Asterix gets sick Dogmatix will sleep in his bed instead of Obelix’s

[alex-procrastinates]

i hope its ok but i really love the last one so it inspired a line in my current fanfic wip:

"Asterix looked much more peaceful now, with that pained furrow in his brow almost totally gone, and Dogmatix curled up in the space between his neck and shoulder, the same place he could always be found when Asterix was sick or hurt. "

(context: this is from the next chapter of did you find him, an au where asterix breaks his leg after shooting himself out of a catapult in caesar's gift)

[tadhger1701]

omg thats so cute!!! i love that sm <333 i WILL be reading this fic now ofc

HAPPY -208TH BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN KIRK YOU OL SO AND SO

[muirmarie]

it's so important to me that ppl don't forget that McCoy never attended Starfleet Academy in TOS.....seeing references to him at Starfleet Academy does in fact set my back teeth on edge tbh.......it's soooo important to me that he was a civilian all through his schooling, and imo it helps inform so much of why he is the way that he is.....this is a huge pet peeve of mine tbh, truly does make me wince, I'd almost rather you give him brown eyes than say he went to the Academy lmao

[trek-tracks]

Agreed--The Ultimate Computer makes it pretty clear that McCoy didn't go to Starfleet Academy when he asks Spock to explain the term "Dunsel," which is an in-joke for undergraduate cadets (or "midshipmen") at the Academy and not used elsewhere. His foundational years of schooling weren't military in any way, and his loyalty is first and foremost to his medical training and oath.

Part of the reason the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triumvirate is so interesting and valuable in TOS is that Kirk's two main confidantes and advisors are both partially picked due to being outsiders. While Spock attended the Academy, he represents a Vulcan perspective, the better able to comment on things that humans might take for granted as normal or moral that aren't seen that way on other worlds. Despite sharing many of its values, McCoy similarly represents a perspective outside of Starfleet, allowing Kirk to consider whether the orders or rules he's been given actually best fit the situation from a moral sense.

Sure, Kirk respects, likes, and trusts both of them, but he's also deliberately setting up this system of checks and balances for his own potential biases and prejudices. It's great when this is acknowledged and when it informs writers' understanding of the characters and series.

FULLICACOFOGENIX (until i can think of a shorter name for it)

come on, cacofonix is gay, he litterally looks like that-- Tho I do like fulliautogenix more I feel cacofonix joining would be certified silly cool

I PERSONALLY HEADCANON AROMANTIC KING GETAFIX- though he can be, uhm, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 (looking at that one scene in mission cleo), I think he's aromantic. As for my favourite hetties i LOVE VITALSTAPEDIA ITHINK THEY CAN BE CUTE, I HAVE AN UNFINISHED SKETCH OF THEM FROM A FEW DAYS AGO

I'll clean it up and finish it soon. I'm way too hooked on the idea of the braids used to convey relationships, same with Obelix. IDK I THINK THE IDEA OF THEM HAVING A TENDER MOMENT WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THEIR HAIR BRAIDED IS SO CUTE. Apparently celts had a lot of different reasons why they'd get their hair braded but i think this is cute, rewriting history shhhh noone will notice IVE BEEN INSANE ABOUT THE GAULS I LOVE THEM, I'd show my sketchbook but I'm terrible at taking photos so imagine it (I'll go over a few pages digitally soon)
