do you feel kin validated when some random people on tumblr say they think you (in the context of being a tv show character) are funny or are you normal -paul stamets

i find it funny that in canon i was only working with starfleet begrudgingly and now whenever i watch star trek (even when not shifted) and anyone ranked higher than a captain does something i’m like “these guys are SO shady why does anyone trust and/or work for them” -paul stamets

being in this shift has me thinking entirely too much about technology from the future. i think about what’s gonna happen when we run out of oil to make plastic, and now i think “oh, we’ll just turn the used plastic into replicator base and just synthesize more” but that’s literally not possible. life was just so, so different in that world. i think about cooking, about going to the store and buying stuff, and it’s so jarring to remember we just didn’t do any of that. -paul stamets

i’m rewatching certain eps of star trek discovery and seeing tilly try so hard to bring me out of that coma is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. especially that scene where she tried to jog my memory by making me annoyed at her. i did get annoyed a lot, yes, but it wasn’t at her personally and i feel bad i made her feel it was. she was the greatest person in engineering and i’m certain she became a great captain. if she sees this by any chance, you’re awesome, kid. -paul stamets

my ill-fitting kin song is iphone by rico nasty. for paul stamets. it’s only bc i was listening to it a bunch around the time i started watching discovery. but now the association is there and i can’t get rid of it. :P

today on “paul shifts for weird reasons” i saw someone misgender adira and not only am i completely shifted, i’m totally ready to throw down. like, don’t coo about “aww he’s so accepting” and then misgender my kid in the same sentence. i’ll kick your ass. -paul stamets (who is also trans)

the universe seems to be trying to shiftbait me except it’s doing that by showing me a bunch of gifsets of The Scene Where I Spoke To My Dead Boyfriend. which, yeah, it /worked/ but was that really necessary? i’m still stuck in the mindset where he wanted nothing to do with me and saying his name or thinking about him at all feels rude. i get conflicting feelings remembering that -paul stamets
