Also for the record, I'm 16 episodes deep, and I'm already singing along with the intro song. It's a bop.

I finished Enterprise! Here's a selection of thoughts.
There are currently only about 20 TOS episodes standing between me and having seen every single live-action episode of Star Trek ever broadcast. That's not an insignificant portion of my life spent watching Star Trek.
(Worth it, though).
Fan consensus is absolutely correct, Enterprise does get steadily better over the four seasons, reaching some really impressive highs in season four, only to utterly cock up the final episode.
Mind you, the plotline of Demons/Terra Prime, which I think is more of a fan favourite, didn't really work for me either. The evil plan is to create a terrifying... baby! Because people famously hate babies and the presence of a baby is a great way to make them lose all sympathy for a cause. That's definitely how people work.
Grumbling aside, I wish it had had another three seasons. Seven seasons is the correct amount of seasons for a Star Trek. I would have loved to see the storyline on the early roots of the Federation actually play out in full.
The characters are delightful, once I'd allowed them to grow on me. It's a real pity that they had such a dearth of female characters in the main cast because the two that they do have are great. T'Pol's arc in particular is fascinating.
I wish they'd explored Travis's character more, because the idea of someone growing up on slow, long-distance freighters, then joining the first Warp 5 ship, is intriguing. And they didn't really do anything with the concept.
OK I also wish they'd explored Hoshi and the universal translator more, rather than using her linguistic skills as plot magic.
And I guess a lot of the above might have happened if they'd had another three seasons to allow them to play out.
I was expecting to ship Archer/Shran and ended up loving their dynamic but not shipping it at all. I did end up shipping Archer/Reed but that's mostly down to the pushing-into-walls thing.
Phlox is still my favourite though.

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?
At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.
I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.
#politics#i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA#as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD#and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually!#i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol#i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually#i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases...#...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety...#...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety...#...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks#distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D#i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

HIIIIIIIIIIIIII (said as if we haven’t talked in ages)
I know the last few months have been INSANE, but I am here and I am gonna catch up and Imma start with this absolute jewel of a fic and something that I have been waiting for since the first hint… the bowling fic!!!!!!!!
A few lines in and I am already drooling like a fucking animal. Why is he so perfect? He is the perfect boyfriend indeed
Ex boyfriend Kun, interesting
COMPETITIVE SLEEPING! I am cackling!!!
Maaya sighed. “Fine, it’s your funeral. Stakes?”
“How about a favor to be named later?” he suggested.
GIRL , BYE, you know that’s a trap!!!!!!
“Let’s go to Lovers’ Lanes. It’s close to campus, and they have cosmic bowling.”
ALL THE SIGNS ARE THERE
OMG He is smooth and charming, and If she doesn’t want him I DO, move over Maaya
VERNON????? Woooow definitely not expecting a mention
YISUS Hyungwon is so irresistible!! You really know how to write all his charms, anyone would fall in love with him in a heartbeat.
“She watched with bated breath as his slender fingers slid up his own bicep to his shoulder, and she shook her head meekly.”
OMG stop, I am already dead!!!!!!!
“Dude, wait. Is your waist seriously smaller than mine? How have I never noticed! You’re giving me all kinds of complexes tonight, Wonnie.”
“It’s just because my shoulders have gotten bigger,” he asserted.
FUCK YOU, SIR.
And now that hug? I am foaming at the mouth!!!! Frothing even!!!!
Him teaching her to play?????? Just kill me now, won’t you???
Oh, man, he is so in love with her!!!!
“That was until four cute guys walked in, the last one particularly striking with his full lips and cocky swagger. In his backwards ballcap and loose hoody, he was ridiculously attractive. And he was looking right back at her.”
Uh-oh, we have a new player….
Ohhhhhhh he is sneaky, sneaky!!! An innocent kiss, omg, that’s game over, right there.
Poor dimples!!!! I will look after you, no worries!
I mean I’d to to hell and back for you, Wonnie
“You start dating that guy, and it’s goodbye for another three months,” Hyungwon continued bitterly. “Just the random meet-up at a bar every other week before you go home to Dimples while I finish my soju in silence. So I’ll start dating someone, too, just so I’m not lonely, and you’ll break up and so will I, and then it’ll start all over again. Why is it never just us, Maaya?”
Also this was like a bucket of ice water, thank you very much
LORD HE EVEN CLEANED HIS ROOM FOR HER????
“She was so distracted by his silver fillings-showcasing grin that she hadn’t realized his tee had come untucked and ridden up his tummy, revealing another little bullet point of why her best friend was the most stunning man in the world—a very cute, very edible freckle right beside his hip.”
OF COURSE YOU HAD TO MENTION THE FRECKLE
“Good. All I want is to make you feel good.”
nope NONONONONONONONO (PLEASE YES, MORE, PLEASE AND THANKS)
Fuck me that wss the most beautiful thing i have ever read, HER LOVE REALISATION? THE WAY HE KNOWS HER SO WELL? THE KISS???? CALL THE AMBULANCE, I HAVE FALLEN AND i CAN’T GET UP
“Do you want this? Do you want me?” His forehead touched hers as his eyes closed. His next words were a whisper, dancing across her skin. “Say yes. Please.”
I MEAN THIS???? What is this I AM ANGERY?????
OMG this, THIS. the dialogue, the LOVE???? He really just wants to make her feel good????
The whole scene!!! All the kissing, this is too much for me after months of abstinence from your wonderful work!!!!!!
“I’ve waited long enough,” Hyungwon replied in his gravelly voice. “I need you to cum, princess, because I don’t think I can wait any longer to be inside you.”
“Hyungwon—”
LORDT PLEASE HAVE MERCY
OMG after that? The domesticity? How easy is this for them? How there's no going back to being friends? HIM NAKEY???? NAKEY?????
I am crying, sobbing!!!
His desperation to just be inside of her!!! Oiafvo;ndfoof\
Half naked sex is just to…. Sexy
Hyungwon lifted off her, and her whole body froze where his sweaty skin had once been ironed. One of his hands grabbed her breast and the other clamped to her waist so he could rut frantically into her.
SERIOUSLY, CALL THE DOCTOR
his eyes rolled back just before they screwed shut. His lips curled into the most luscious snarl as a wretched whine echoed in the bedroom. It had to be the sexiest fucking thing Maaya had ever heard in her life.
911?????
THE LIST OF EXES!! I CAN’T!!!!!
“Wait until you meet doting, sex-crazed boyfriend Hyungwon.”
WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THOSE??????
OMGGGG this was sososososooooo GOOD, like a hot, delicious meal after you’ve been starving. I felt like I came home to your stories. How much I have missed them, my dearest friend!
Also, I love how we’re all benefiting from your self-indulgence, hehehe
And I am sorry it took me this freaking long to read it, but now I was able to do it at my own pace and enjoy the heck out of it!!!
My friend, you made it at last to my pride and joy! <3 I am so happy you finally got to read it and that you fell in love right alongside me. :D
If I'm not mistaken, the bet was your idea? I think when I first pitched the premise to you, you made a comment about a bet, and I just made it romantic. :) Everything took instant shape from there, so THANK YOU!
Yes, once Wonnie lets you in, I feel like he's the smoothest operator around. I'm just, like, crazy in love at this point though so.....
And, yes, Vernon always catches my eye, and since this piece is literally just super-indulgent, I gave him some public love. heh heh
Hahahaha the waist thing popped into my head out of the blue one night, and I was just begging to experience it. *sob* I WANT HIM, MOM!!!
Jealous Hyungwon is a serious, serious vibe for me. He's freely admitted to being the jealous, possessive type, and I just ran with that ish. I'm sorry that it had to be over Jooheon (my other best friends-to-lovers king), but her heart was already committed, so we can at least thank him for showing it to her.
Oh, girl, you know me. I'm a slut for bringing up those buried emotions when you least expect it. I love unexpected confessions so much omfg.
YES, HE CLEANED HIS ROOM FOR HER. THANKS FOR PICKING UP ON THAT LITTLE DETAIL. <3
Girl, if you done think I'm gonna neglect that little tummy freckle ever...
Hahaha Maaya's love revelation is really just altverse me coming to terms with this shit. I have a bias. There, I said it. I'm finally free to admit it.
I put a lot of kissing in this fic, but that's probably just cuz I wanna kiss Hyungwon all the fucking time. *shrugs*
Domesticity and nakey Wonnie FTW!!!
Girl, yes, I love that urgent passion shit. I really wanted this to be a mix of making love and needy fucking, and I dare say I achieved my end goal.
Hyungwon's sounds are a callback to that beloved Inssa Oppa workout moment that I in no way, shape, or form watched religiously until the sounds were on perma-loop in my brain.....................
GIRL, BYE. WHERE DO *I* GET ONE OF THOSE??? ;)
Awwwwwwww! "Coming home" to my stories? Where's my sobbing emoji????? Thank youuuuuuuuuu! I'm so glad we became such close friends through storytelling. <3
I don't care that it took you a while to read it because at least you finally got the chance. I know how busy of a lady you are. Friends or no, thank you for always taking the time to interact with my work. Love you!!!
#new bestie!#perfect game#gee thanks#i can say now#in a tremulous voice#that i have a bias#and it is chae hyungwon#it's been a long road#but there it is

Not all who wander are lost.
Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.
#note: this is a kitchen in a house of change. they are still on the road w the party#not to say i think that maybe chillin out in one location with some loved ones and planned visits from their friends would fix siffrin#but i am saying that they do seem to hoard random items at every given oppertunity. which is an interesting habit#isat#isat fanart#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#isat spoilers#sifloop#isat siffrin#isat loop#sloops#lucabyteart#but yeah no i dont actually know that siffrin would wwwant to be . travelling literally forever. given the. well. um#that one QnA answer especially. the immediate deflective joking when asked how long they'd been a traveller. mm.#it's not like they chose this life is the thing. and we know they have a habit of forcing themselves to 'stick to the script'#i really do think they'd be better for some stability. its not like you cant have a house and also go on fun travel holidays also#(if you want my real opinion. why not just move to bambouche to help raise bonnie. but. that's fanfic territory at that point)

most of you will not understand the agony of this outfit. but hey here's fantasy au Howdy!
rambles:
yes. i know. he looks like a gunslinger. but I think it'd be funny if Howdy shows up and he minorly tweaks the genre simply by Existing! plus, he has to make himself useful beyond being a traveling salesman - he doesn't have a scrap of magic in him! so! alchemist gunslinger!
due to much of this "final" outfit design being Miguel's (@indigopoptart <3 thanks for your help homeslice <3) influence, i have less to say than usual! i'll talk about the things i Kept from the first terrible, terrible draft!
i wanted him to have full-coverage gloves because One, gloves fuck, & Two, shooting gloves! plus, he regularly works with dangerous materials! gotta keep his hands as safe as possible! speaking of his guns, they were a Ton of fun to draw. i wanted to make them ornate... Howdy seems like he'd enjoy nice things? fancy stuff perhaps? anyway the guns have his tavern "logo" on them!
the "second safety" mentioned triggers a magic-oriented mechanism that allows him to piece the guns together! they "unfold" into a big ol clusterfuck of a powerhouse weapon! unfortunately, using this immediately breaks the guns and they have to be repaired, so it's a "break glass in case of emergency" ace up the Neighborhood's sleeve!
i like to imagine that his bandolier, while cool, stresses everyone out a little bit. each bullet is full of pressurized weaponized magic. If they break while on the bandolier, well! Howdy would probably be very much Royally Fucked! i also drew the bullets too large here, so imagine that there's a lot more than shown and they're a lot smaller. I didn't realize this mistake until right now! oopsies!
i want to keep elements of the canon outfits in these fantasy ones. hence why his vest is striped and blue, he's still got the reddish brown pants, and! why his cloak clasp is shaped like a tie! and why the inside of his cloak resembles his apron!
i like to think that Howdy got his magic pack by swindling some poor soul out of it! when the buckles are undone, it unfolds into a vendor stand that looks Much different than the tiny scribble provided! said scribble is there to ah... what's the word. Demonstrate? get the point across? it's actually quite a nice stall! he has space to sell, and a workbench to tinker on! the pockets on the bag actually do function as pockets, though.
#'why does he have a ponytail' yeah i dont have an excuse for that one#im projecting my mullet & mullet-esque hairstyle loving self i suppose!#he's just like me now....#< nah im jesting! my back floof isnt nearly that long!#anyway howdy my absolute beloved <3#hes so funny. i love thinking about him#in general but also this is an au post! thinking about That!#i love it when he comes along on adventures#everyone is having downtime and he's on the side of the road handling volatile materials and bothering passersby#its a good thing he's coordinated! probably!#he's coordinated right? ehhhh i have faith that he is#scribble salad#wh fantasy au#ohhhh i should draw him with his hood up...#OHHHH I SHOULD DRAW A LIL FANTASY AU RAINY DAY THING#< i say this as if i have the energy!#its been low lately... very low...#i love being tired and drained for literally no reason!
