My biggest surprise while watching voyager has to be how much of a guy failure Tom Paris turns out to be. While turning into a salamander he admits to crying a lot in his bedroom as a kid, when literally commanded by his boss to fuck his crush or she’ll die, he declines. Then proceeds to get VERY into learning and exercising the desired foreplay of his crush WITH his crush. He becomes a nurse. He writes holonovel programs. He likes B films from our equivalent of the silent film era and reproduces “era accurate” hideous Hawaiian shirts for the company luau. His best friend had to practically staple himself to him (because he was his first friend in YEARS). After leaving voyager he basically goes around federation ships doing story hours of all the weird crap he got into. Flash a picture of his dad and he’s like a soggy napkin. He would call Janeway “mom” on purpose the immediately on accident and try to say it was intentional. He’s the kind of guy to wear a pleather jacket to look cool but it won’t stop squeaking

Scandal in the Snow dice set. This is a remake of a set I made back in 2021. Besides the little bit of blue lace on the d10 it came out wonderfully!

Dear Neil. Sometimes I think about the strength you must have to answer the fans' questions, I know that a lot has to do with marketing, but it must be tedious, and it must demotivate you a little from your work. Not only you but also the actors. Thanks for the patience.

It's really not about marketing. That's why I like Tumblr, I think. It's too small for marketing. It only works if it's for fun.

I will be the last one here when they finally turn off the lights, because Tumblr is *only* fun for me, in no small part because the Industry Machine hasn't polluted Tumblr the way it has all the other social networks.

I think that's because the Venn Diagram of Weird Tumblr and Not Weird Tumblr is a perfect circle we call a hellsite, and the marketing dweebs are so confounded by what we do here, they focus on other, more predictable, social networks.

I've read about the demise of Weird Twitter around 2016 (gasp), how once Twitter stopped being a safe place to be weird, it rapidly became what it is, now. Interesting people tend to be weird. Creative people tend to be weird. We who love those people tend to be weird, and we like to be around people who reflect our vibe back to us. Why would any of us stick around in a Nazi club full of Incels when we can hang out here and remember the first time we saw Goncharov, or how the Feast of Neil Gaiman is celebrated in our homes.

Oh, and fuckin' WONDER WOMAN brings her loving, supportive, I am your mom and I love you unconditionally energy to every single post. She's the only Tumblr I follow with alerts turned on, because I always feel uplifted after I read something from her.

And Tumblr is maybe the only place on the entire Internet where I can be the best Becky I can be.

That doesn't even touch on all the art and fanfic and vintage photos and the endless stream of Debbie Harry that comes across my dash.

If you're part of the reason I am here, part of the reason Tumblr is special, thank you.

CLEAR daneel shade in this unrelated book review i-

[paprus-teutonic-knight]

Not going to accept this BLATANT Daneel slander

...Okay, maybe the other robots sucked sometimes. But STILL-

[daneelsolivaw]

tbh slandering daneel is my love language

[paprus-teutonic-knight]

Unacceptable and ungrateful! Typical humanity, to see the one being that has kept us coherent for TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS (i think) and seek to INSULT him!

(this is a joke) (i am joking)

(but i do love daneel)

[daneelsolivaw]

see my username, you’ll find no greater cheerleader for this tenacious robot :))

[voyageofthedeltaflyer]

for what it's worth, I literally named myself after him and I still think he sucks <3

[neil-gaiman]

You too? Absolutely. You keep going and I'll keep going too.

Every time i start getting back into Voyager fannishness i end up remembering that while Tom Paris is one of my favorite of all Trek characters, he is a lot of other people's... really not favorite character. Which, fair enough! But it's awkward 💀. Not the first time I've liked the wrong little guy from a thing, it's just that it gives me the kind of feeling of standing in a busy-ish room talking to myself in the corner lol.

Anyway I love that boy from his brash Cool Guy performance to his lonely nerd kid heart, outrageous flirting and obsessive, detail oriented escapism and all 💜❤️
