to the last syllable of recorded time;

on reading the production info for Valiant that they replaced kira because she would've just beat everyone up (metaphorically, also pulling from months old memory), i wonder if it was a running joke in the writers' room that "hey, this ENTIRE episode's problem would be solved and the episode wouldn't be an episode anymore if we just brought in kira to punch someone" because I've been rewatching episodes from seasons here and there and I'm like damn that would be incredibly appropriate right now

silly billies i drew in class today

every time I see a photo of a bear it’s like. that really is the ideal animal. large. fat. virtually indestructible. vaguely resembles both a large dog and a person. absolutely could and probably would maul me but nonetheless looks extremely huggable. 10/10 creatures, immaculate

had a dream where people sent me increasingly fucked up photoshops of jake sisko that eventually morphed into my cat. I know this will never happen but just as a warning please do not do that.

Maybe I should start a DS9 out of context collection.

Ok this might be a bit of a weird question but I keep arguing with my mom and sis about this so I need y'all to answer this

[For context my mom and sis keep telling me I shower for too long but my showers are usually 45 minutes to an hour]

(edit: *your showers not you showers)

my advice to you is to never waste your time trying to fit into a club or hobby or any community who makes you beg for acceptance and approval just to participate when you could do the alternative—get involved in a niche and endangered hobby run primarily by old people.

i wanted to learn how to hunt ruffed grouse and train bird dogs so i sent an email to my local chapter of the ruffed grouse society explaining that getting into wildlife groups is intimidating to me because I’m trans

and all they saw was that someone under 60 wanted to learn to hunt grouse & several months into my mentorship I was told that like 7 old guys argued over me until they had to pick a number between 1 and 100 to decide who got to personally mentor me.

imagine vying for the acceptance of some gatekeeping weirdos when your mere interest could be inciting verbal combat among retirees

my mentor was so sweet & funny too. he suggested we meet over lunch first so he could tell me about what to expect before we got started & I emailed back “I’m ready to get started right away!”

and he said “I was actually suggesting lunch first for your comfort on the assumption you wouldn’t want to get together with a man you’ve never met, in the woods with a gun.”

Like, I trusted him because of the referrals I got from one of my professors but like, right you are sir fair enough. Lunch it is.

exactly 😌

sometimes that sad feeling is due to low blood sugar, and sometimes it's from decades of history. not that complex

good morning soft sad freaks on an unprofitable website

Re: this it is also very character-appropriate that the only hobby we see Kira Nerys engaging in enthusiastically without being roped into it by her friends is springball. She does not really know how to approach imaginative scenarios and has no aptitude for art, and it figures that she would be more interested in sports and recreation - very physical and embodied and instinctive rather than contemplative or creative, taking her out of her thoughts rather than immersing herself in them.

Anyway, since several male characters get episodes devoted to them having a goofy silly time with their hobbies (like Sisko building an ancient spaceship from scratch or Bashir LARPing as James Bond), I think there should have been a low-key episode about Kira participating in a springball tournament.

Given Miles is into racketball, I'd like to imagine them having debates over which is better, and the both of them dragging Keiko into trying them out so she can give her opinion.

The early TNG uniforms were not the best but they did let the men breast boobily about like their lives depended on it.

*Worf suffered from a classic case of Decorative Baldric Breast Obstruction and could not be included here.

i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”

I think these are two sides of the coin called "sex should not be such a big deal"
