Ameera Writes Stuff

Nerd who loves writing fanfic. Mostly Garak/Bashir from Star Trek: DS9 but I have a lot of fandoms (especially Bryan Fuller shows) Here's my AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/Ameera

for some reason I memorized a handful of #poignant quotes and deployed them on unsuspecting adults whenever the opportunity arose. imagine declaring that you hate smoked salmon and a disheveled ten year old at your elbow condescendingly says “he who does not alter his opinion is like standing water and breeds reptiles of the mind.”

I mean I did the same thing with Shakespeare when I was in fifth grade and I did it because it's FUCKING HILARIOUS. Also a great way to get the kind of detention that your parents buy you ice cream for.

"Some are born Great, Some achive Greatness, and Some people are Billy Lubekeman, whom Greatness abandoned like a shopping cart in a drainage ditch."

I memorizing a lot of Douglas Addams at the time as well.

if your Hot Take on lgbt rep/historical lgbt figures features the phrase “at least bi” please understand that it’s a shitty opinion and inherently biphobic lmao. (also stop fucking discoursing on Real People’s fucking sexualities lmao)

like “xyz is gay or at least bi, “they’re at least bi, if not a lesbian,” “hopefully they make [insert character here] bi at the very least,” and all variations paint bisexuality as a lesser sexuality and yet y’all fucking love using that phrase.

bisexuality is a whole identity and not just a ‘weaker’ version of gay/lesbian.

and like. bi isn’t on a tier down from gay, bi shouldn’t be tacked onto the end of your asks for rep like it’s less meaningful representation that gay rep. all queer identities getting represented is good. a bi character is just as valid as a gay one. bi rep shouldn’t be treated like it can’t possibly be good because it’s not gay rep.

Reblogging this because I genuinely use variations of this often and I didn’t even stop to think about why I use it or why I hear it often enough for it to just be embedded in my speech pattern. This is good for everybody to think about.

Holy Shit

I know it's visible on the screen but if you cannot see her name that is Adanna Madueke. She's a natural hair influencer.

Even if you don't have curly, coily, or kinky hair I highly recommend watching these influencers. Not only are a lot of them innovative, like this woman, but you will learn a lot more about how Black hair works. There is not nearly enough education about how our hair works, and most people without this kind of hair are clueless.

I suggest adanna, Naptural85, Kimberly Cherell , NaturalReign , StarPuppy, Chev B, MsNaturallyMary, Loveth Speaks , EvaniwithaV ,Eugenia Kelcy, TheChicNatural, WillonaWhim , GreenBeauty, Curly Chemistry, VivHairTherapy and Bianca Renee Today. These are people of different genders, hair types, and methods. Protective styles or wash and go people. People doing g it cor fun and actual chemists. Because there is no one size fits all. There are also thousands more, but these were the first people I thought of. Take this as your chance to learn something new

“Someone’s sending all this to Dukat, yeah?” 

Man, this was a blast to draw. With all the negativity in the world right now, just needed something fun to cheer me up. 

Based off @captaincrusher​‘s post.

To sum up, it’s never really touched on that Sisko has Dukat’s old office, and the implications of this. One of the theories thrown in was that a week after settling in, a life-sized bronze statue of Dukat shows up (after being held up in Bolian customs for three weeks), and Sisko has to sign for it. They don’t know what to do with it, so it just does the rounds of the station:

  • It ends up in the rec room for Julian and Miles to throw things at.
  • Kira gets back from a week-long mission to Bajor, finds it just inside her bedroom door. Barely misses it with her phaser. 
  • She places it just so inside the infirmary doors, so it’ll topple onto Julian when he walks in the following morning. 
  • Nog looses a bet with Jadzia, has to sneak it into Sisko’s office wearing the ‘Everybody loves me’ shirt.
  • Revenge is enacted.
  • Quark thinks it’d be a great way to fool Odo. Turns out paper plates sticky-taped on aren’t the answer.
  • It ends up at Garak’s. No one’s sure exactly how or why, but the results are beautiful. 
  • Ziyal, my poor baby. Sisko’s given her a cargo bay to decorate. 
  • At one point, O’Brien has to go on an urgent mission. For some godforsaken reason, the statue has ended up in the runabout and there’s no time to unload it. So he pilots for 54 hours straight while feeling the itch of Dukat’s soulless glare on the back of his head. 

Oh, and they might have won the war by posting all these to the… whatever the Trek equivalent of the net is. 

I love you so much you have no idea. I’m crying (of laughter) right now.
