Uhura can take apart and rebuild her workstation. Never mistake her for the ship’s receptionist.

[headcanons] Loki vs the Trivialities of Mundane Living

Mobius: You left the cap off the toothpaste again

Loki: why must I contain the paste? What does it gain from imprisonment?

Mobius: It dries out-

Loki: Then it is weak.

Mobius: You have to wait for the shower to warm up.

Loki, already stepping in: I bathed in the volcanic springs of Muspelheim. I can handle-AHHH ITS COLD GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF-

Mobius: You cant just leave your dirty laundry on the floor.

Loki, unbothered: The garments have served their purpose. They are free now.

Mobius: They are not free. They are everywhere. One’s on the ceiling fan.

Loki: It ascended.

Mobius: You can’t microwave metal.

Loki, watching sparks fly as he stares into the chaos like it’s a portal to destiny: And yet it dances. Beautiful.

Mobius: GET AWAY FROM IT.

Mobius: You forgot to put the groceries away.

Loki: They were perfectly content in the bag.

Mobius: The ice cream melted.

Loki: It fulfilled its destiny as a puddle. Not all things aspire to solidity, Mobius.

ATTENTION LOKIUS LEGION!!!!

i was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking part in a “Lokius Week” to coincide with the first episode of the Loki series airing (9th-15th June)

during this week, we’d work from a list of daily prompts and post content inspired by said prompts.

the prompts would be simple so that it would be easy to participate, for example: time loop, key lime pie, the automat etc so that any kind of post can be made

to fill the prompts you could create: fic, art, playlists, gifsets, video edits, post clips, write meta, make memes, or discuss your favourite moments from episodes that coincide with the prompts!

i’d love for it to be an event that ANYONE in the fandom can participate in so we can all share our love for Lokius 🥹

please let me know if you’d be interested in participating and we can get it organised and start collecting prompts!!!

We all feel this way sometimes, even Vulcans who will easily live twice as long as any human.

reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.

You know, if the Vulcans actually show up on April 5, 2063, we’re going to have a lot of explaining to do over the fact that one of our movies blew up their entire planet for fun

at the risk of sounding like a raving lunatic, i think one of my favorite trekkie memes/posts is that one where someone comments on a screenshot of tos and asks if sulu is texting, because it PERFECTLY encapsulates star trek's strange little place at the intersection of pop culture and the tech world:

like listen... 55+ years ago a bunch of actors had to use a mix of existing habits and wild imagination to come up with what they felt would be believable movements and muscle-memory for someone using completely unbelievable tech a few hundred years in the future. like tv had less than ten channels and the screen was a foot across, and they had to go "ok how would someone who's used to a tiny wireless gadget with a screen hold it and use it? how would they talk to a computer? how would the computer sound when she talked back?"

and over half a century later our own tech has surpassed the clunky retrofuture gizmos in so many ways, no doubt inspired by it, that now someone two decades into the 21st century sees an actor in the 60s holding some tiny rectangular plastic prop in both hands and immediately recognizes it as "oh, sulu's texting!" now THAT is a called shot. hell, that's putting your money on a roulette wheel in a casino that hasn't been built yet. i LOVE it. it's so star trek. sulu is absolutely texting.

This is fabulous! Of course he’s texting. He’s posting that shit across the actual universe.

Reasons people may decline to comment or kudos on fanfiction they enjoyed:

However, comments and kudos aren't compensation, and they aren't even necessarily feedback either.

Comments and kudos for fan authors are:

Please don't consider comments, or especially kudos, purely transactional or purely a form of feedback. Comments and kudos are a way to show authors in your community that you're glad they're there.

Authors aren't "entitled" to kudos or comments, but readers aren't "entitled" to fic, either.

Fanfiction is a community, and when an author repeatedly reaches out to their community for connection only to receive silence in return it is very discouraging and can result in the author withdrawing from the community altogether.

Just had a question about commenting on Ao3. Is it weird to comment on several of the same person's fics? Every time I do this I feel like I'm being stalkerish or something. Is it actually as weird as I'm worrying about?

It is not weird at all and writers typically love this.

Me when someone starts reading all my fics:🥹

Reader, last time someone commented on all my fics, I said I was going to dump my husband and marry them instead

*Receives comment on most recent fic*: Aww, yay!

*Then receives comment on earliest fic*: Oh they're committed now okay, please excuse the cringe and also yay
