Hello! A while ago I made a post saying that I had a discord server for people to join. I am here to update said post.
If you would like, this server is pretty chill where we mostly talk about our interests (mine is currently star trek, but there is also some Discworld and Tolkien nerds in here. If you would like to see for yourself here is the link:

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it
but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.
A/N: I do sort of like it when he's rude to me. Hopefully, that's a psychological defect than a weird sexual thing. WHY WAS HE IN ONLY ONE EPISODE? WHY?
Prompt: Romantic Solok HCs
This man has a face you want to slap and kiss all at the same time.
No one knows why he seemed to like you more than anyone else on the station, not even you.
The two of you first met it was during the baseball game.
You had spent most of your time absentmindedly flirting with him as a way to get into his head.
"Hey," You whispered from your catcher's position.
"Are those space pants?"
"Because your butt looks out of this world."
(¬////¬) (Apparently, it did, a little too well.)
Who knew he would be a sucker for cheesy Earth pickup lines.
After that, he would return to DS9 for a variety of reasons. (Never to see you.)
No matter how hard you tried to hide around the station, he would somehow always find you.
He would bombard you with questions, (brag) inform you about his latest achievements and upcoming missions, and occasionally point out how you could improve your own work. (Charming)
If you were invited to the T'Kumbra to do repairs, he would constantly follow you around.
At first, you thought it was because you were a human on his ship.
During one of your visits to the T'Kumbra, you were squeezed into a crawl space, and Captain Solok was standing outside.
"Have you thought about transferring off of Deep Space Nine? It seems as if you could do better elsewhere."
You were confused, was that a compliment?
He further elaborates, "You would be able to rank up faster on a starship, possibly to Chief Engineer."
Was he offering to transfer you to his ship?
You quickly finish your work, pull yourself out of the wall, and politely as possible excuse yourself.
You disappear back onto DS9 where you begin to question his sudden strange behavior.
He wasn't able to wait for your answer, but that wasn't the last you heard from him either.
Soon you were getting messages of a rather personal nature from him.
He would send you offers of transfer, as well as Vulcan poetry, books, and even music.
When he did return to DS9 after his latest mission he didn't even bother meeting with Sisko first.
He pinned you at Quark's and demanded to speak with you, privately.
Before you could reply he was dragging you back to the T'Kumbra and into his private quarters.
He then had a complete (Vulcan) meltdown.
"Why have you not answered my request? Do you not understand how rare this opportunity is?" His voice was so calm it was scary.
"I have tried to prove that this ship, that," He paused and swallowed hard, "That I am worthy of your time."
Solok, who believed that Vulcans were superior to their Human counterparts, was trying to convince you, that he was good enough.
You would have thought you were dreaming if it wasn't for the small pinch you gave yourself.
He reached his hand out to you in the Vulcan kiss, hoping you would reciprocate.
When you pressed your fingers to his, you saw his whole face light up green.
"You bring out my most illogical traits, Koh-nar."
With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar
PLEASE tell me she’s gotten calls from the Eragon tv show casting director, look at her and tell me that isn’t just our dearly beloved Arya Svit-Kona in space—
It's good that Vulcans have Surak's teachings. Imagine how terrifying an evil Vulcan would be, especially in a predominantly human enviroment. A super-strong, extremely clever person with immaculate self-control, hypersensitive hearing and a lust for violence...
Good day. THIS is the energy I want to see from SNW.
This one goes out to all my fellow spirk fans in the trenches this week. This is obviously the canon reason the SNW writers couldn't introduce Jim Kirk to Spock until this episode had occurred.
I know Tolaris is a shitty person. I do. But he is also pretty. So, for this little drabble, we’re gonna all collectively agree that the Tolaris in this fic is a version of himself who didn’t do the creepy mind meld thing to T’Pol. Okay? Okay. So! In the episode he was in, he mentioned that he used to teach literature at the Shirkar Academy, which is a Vulcan university. This is a little drabble of an idea about why he really left, beyond all that “more to life than logic” reasoning that he gave.

She was one of his most accomplished students. With two degrees to her name prior to enrolling in his literature class, Tolaris knew she was something special. It was illogical to dwell on her beauty since she did not attend his lectures for the purpose of pleasing others with her appearance, but he couldn’t help it.
he learned how to write when he was fifteen. You cant convince me he wouldnt take the easy route and write in capital letters. Also i think hed really care about legibility.
Nasuada:
She also wants to make it legible and Ajihad always made her write in cursive so she still does that a little. Nothing too fancy tho bc she has to write it multiple times a day and doesnt want to bother
Arya:
Shes a lefty and ill die on that hill. She also doesnt rly care too much about it but likes the swing she can do with the A bc she cant do it in elvish. (This got a little ugly, i had to write it like seven times before it looked good)
Murtagh:
Totally the person to practice his signature. Writes really straight and with tall letters. Cares more about the Look than legibility but its legible enough. Really doesnt like signing contracts anymore tho, for… obvious reasons.
Brom:
Illegible except for the first letter. No fucks left, not after a century of this. The tired parent signing their kids test without even taking a look at the grade (eragon failed grammar again).
Oromis:
Knows how to write in human/dwarfen letters but is unused to it. Tries his best anyways and it actually looks really good. Very round letters, smears his i dots
Galby:
Used to be very fancy about it but is getting a little lazy. Still dramatic enough for the big lines in the t and the x tho.
Bonus: Angela
Doesnt like giving signatures (it wastes her time bc no one knows her real name and she definitely wont reveal it for something this boring so the signature will be worthless anyways) but if someone makes her she’s going to waste her their time like theyre wasting hers and take an eternity drawing flourishes around it. Probably even more than i did. Normally only gives strange warnings or hexes the parchment or something tho bc she just doesnt like it.
‘more dangerous and less wise’ I’m sorry WHAT!? Is Tolkien seriously trying to tell us that the freaking Sindar are the feral ones out of all the Elven races? After the entire First Age? As for more dangerous, Galadriel is still here. You know, Feanor 2.0 the only one that actually survived. Using the Elven metric for being batshit insane yes, Mirkwood is weird, but not swearing blood oaths, setting everything on fire, murdering everyone in sight, telling the gods to go fuck themselves, challenging gods to one on one combat insane.
The line of Oropher isn’t even Thingol levels of mental. They’ve never even touched a silmaril or a ring of power! They’re downright sensible by first age standards! They’re arrogant sure, they have low self preservation instincts and seem pretty xenophobic (dwarf stuff). Also depending on your point of view there might be colonist undertones. All of which is just toned down versions of the First Age Sindar. They probably have developed weird customs from living in the murder forest so long and being pretty isolated but there’s nothing to indicate they’re all that bad. I mean they’re still alive and they’re holding on to their kings at a relatively steady rate.
I absolutely agree with takes going around that this is some sort of deliberate protection technique they have to ward off trespassers and that Thranduil is sitting there in his cave coming up with rumours to spread about all the messed up things they do to people. Because in the book they seem kind of chill? And this becomes a million times more funny to me if he bases the rumours off stuff he heard about from Elrond.
As in ‘Yeah we totally eat giant spider meat, that’s definitely a thing we do,’ and everyone’s reacting as horrified and scared or not falling for it while Elrond’s believing every word and just looks sympathetic, ‘Aww you guys have food shortages? I hear you, supplies were pretty shit during all that destruction of an entire continent in the War of Wrath. You know if you wanted more options I wouldn’t recommend raw orc meat before you build up a tolerance but I can defo show you how to butcher them properly!’ Thranduil just staring back at him like ‘Fuck you. I was trying to make up some story to scare children at night with, you guys actually did this shit? How hard is it to come up with something you fucking Noldor haven’t done already?!’
And also: Thranduil proceeds to take out a notepad, ‘Ok so tell me again about what the kinslayers did to interrogate those prisoners?’ And Elrond replies, ‘Oh, that wasn’t Maglor and Maedhros, that was a story about Gil Galad’s army in the War of Wrath.’ Thranduil ‘I’m sorry WHAT the actual fuck.’ Elrond nodding understandingly ‘Too much for the Third Age?’ Thranduil rapidly taking notes ‘No it’s perfect keep it coming.’
