"Oh so when James Kirk refuses to believe in no-win scenarios it's 'changing the conditions of the test' and 'commendable original thinking,' but when I, Bradward Boimler, can't accept the possibility of failure and retake the Kobiyashi Maru sixteen times–"

#lower decks #star trek lower decks #brad boimler #in my headcanon his first performance wasn't *great* but he did technically pass #but by refusing to accept that he hadn't beat the test and insisting on retaking it he turned his pass into a fail #and he *kept* retaking it until the instructor point-blank told him that there was no way to beat the program #And that the whole point was to experience personal failure #And *even then* Boims was like “so you mean by failing I actually HAVEN'T failed at all!” #“No that's not– ugh you know what sure. Gold star kid. Just get out of my office." ”Did I get an A+?“ ”OUT!“ #Completely missed the point of the exam and they basically pity-passed him after the seventeenth try #Mariner on the other hand already knew what the point of the test was ahead of time #(She didn't cheat she was still a goody-two-shoes at this point) (An older classmate or friend happened to mention it around her) #But she *did* think it was a bullshit test and just pretended to be humbled and accept defeat in order to get a good grade #She doesn't believe in no-win scenarios either #It's part of what makes them a good team

Are you still active on tumblr?

YES I am!! Sorry friends for dropping off the face of the earth, I got a job and I had to move and it was a lot. But I am less stressed now and I hope I can get back to posting more regularly!! I really missed it (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

I will never leave tumblr because there is no other place on the internet where I can tell people that 80% of the time when I try to introduce myself to someone in the office that I haven’t met yet I get so focused on smiling and holding eye contact that I forget the part where I actually have to introduce myself (°□°)

#HELLO FRIENDS #how are you!! I missed you! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #I hope you all had a good summer!! #mine was very nice even though there was a lot of stress and new things happening #suddenly there were so many adult things in my life that at the end of the day I just sat on the couch and watched decorating shows #I love decorating shows but today they showed this decorating competition and one woman had to decorate her whole bedroom coral #and then I knew it was time to go back #friends I've done so many new things the past few weeks!! I've really underestimated what this new chapter of my life would be like #it's very nice and I'm glad but I've never thought about things like insurance and taxes and parallel parking before #and I'm in a new apartment and everything!! ✧⁺⸜(●′▾‵●)⸝⁺✧ #it is a very good apartment but the landlord left us so many of their chairs #this does not sound like a problem but we also owned chairs before #so our chair number is doubled now #the kitchen is full of chairs the balcony is full of chairs #I've hidden two chairs behind the TV but I can still see their chair heads and then I feel bad because they do not deserve this #they should be roaming free #also rode a BIKE #they say you never forget how to ride a bike #but my secret is that I never really knew how to ride one #in Germany all students have to do a bicyle test in fourth grade and I was so bad that my teacher asked me #afterwards if I had tried to confuse the other students #I just said 'uh yes' and then he said ok and I passed with the worst bicyle grade of the whole school #I hade made 8 bicyle mistakes #I hope you're doing well friends!! see you soon!! #have a nice day :)

Did an (extremely quick) google. Gondor was without a king for about 969 years. The last High King of Ireland's reign ended about 825 years ago (yes, we are ignoring the lot next door). Imagine if in another 144 years someone rocked up claiming to be the heir of Ruaidrí mac Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair or something and no one laughed them off the island.

#sorcha reads lotr #to be fair i had actually thought it was longer #don't know why but i had 2000 years in my head this whole time?? #for gondor i mean #also as a note: i went with the last properly recognised high king #there were two more after him but they never *really* got the position #which if i knew my history well enough i could probably use to drag the idea of aragorn reclaiming the kingship even more #alas i know nothing #can't believe our last high king was named rory o'conner #like that's literally just some guy

Sometimes I think about the fact that Lucy was married and has never once spoken about it. I wonder about Gelsin Mux every single day actually.... Imagining Lucrecia as young and in love in Grulovia before she got tied up in any sort of crazy Psychic 7 nonsense is so bittersweet to me. I like to imagine her ties to Gelsin as being like her ties to her old life. Gelsin and Marona and Lazarus after a certain point of interacting with the psychics in America become almost like characters in someone else's life to her. I'm really fascinated with this idea of Lucy really losing touch with her old life. It's obvious that she had a lot of love for Grulovia and for her family but what she was doing with the rest of the Psy7 was extremely important to her. I like the idea that maybe she just felt a little suffocated and isolated for a while in Grulovia as a powerful psychic and couldn't find anyone to relate to (I hc that neither Marona nor Lazlo were psychics) so the Gulch became a place of acceptance and self expression that she had never been used to having. But the way that the Gulch made her grow as a person meant that she could never really go back to "the old Grulovia" that she grew up in, especially considering that the country was war-torn upon her return.

Also realizing that this image here means that it is highly likely that she left Gelsin in Grulovia with it very questionable if she would return. Since it is canon that Gelsin died in the Grulovian war, and not the Deluge.... and Ford met Lucrecia as Lucrecia Mux. I like to think that they fell in love when they were young and back when things were really simple for Lucy, but after she was able to identify how vital being psychic was to her as a person, they lost the ability to relate to one another like they used to could. I don't think she ever really fell out of love with him, they just grew apart in a sad way...

#realizing all this really makes me reframe the way i view ford and lucy's relationship #correct me if i'm wrong on this but i'm pretty sure these are the implications. #and no i don't view ford and lucy as 'scandalous cheating' just more like a.... idk #lucy was sort of moving on in a way while married. and she would be far away from gelsin for a long time. #and the two still loved each other a whole lot. but they could both sort of feel that they had changed a lot. and gelsin sort of expected #something like that to happen. maybe to both of them. who knows. #but there was always a lot of love there and he knew that at the end of the day he would always be there for her and vice versa #special relationship that i am headcanoning right now......very sad and effective hc pieces are falling into place for me #canon oc #gelsin mux #lucrecia mux #hcs #.txt

Hi there! I hope you're doing well!

In your human au, do you imagine Julie and Frank to have a similar relationship to Barnaby and Wally (lifelong platonic partners) or are they more toned down?

In that same vein do you imagine them having something similar in cannon since ik you have your analysis of Julie initially being Frank's love interest, but do you think they can move past that and come back stronger?

Have a great day/night whenever you are 🫶🏽

more toned down, i think! less "i literally cannot imagine a life without you" and more "two stray cats that bonded and are not inseparable". i imagine that Frank & Julie were planning on living in the same town, but they wanted their own living spaces to do with as they please without having to compromise. i like to think that they got neighboring properties - or do they live in the same apartment / condo building? still thinking about everyone's living spaces...

and Yes! i like to adhere to canon as much as possible with my aus. i imagine that when they met in school Julie may have developed a crush on Frank, but has long since grown out of it. and she learned pretty quick that uh... hon... Frank's a lover of men <3

#lmao maybe once julie figures out her gender fluidity #she'll go to frank like 'if i knew then - would you have liked me back?' #and frank has to let her down gently a second time <3 #sorry jules you are Not his type <3 he likes hunky mailmen <3 #julie spotted a depressed emo boy and went Wow! That One Is Mine! #and she was right <3 #like... if they go a full day without seeing each other they'll be sad #but they can handle it yk? they can manage without each other #they enjoy pursuing separate lives but they want to Share that separation over gardening sessions and games #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #they're best friends! slightly codependent! but they're not at barnaby & wally's level #those two are just. operating in a whole different wheelhouse #regular chess vs 4d chess yk yk #'you are one of - if not The - most important person in my life' vs 'if you die i die' #if you catch my groovy drift... #you have a good day/night As the Case May Be as well!

Y’all say Mike has a crush on Eddie but I fully believe he has a crush on Steve and dresses like Eddie because he’s cool and absolutely nothing like Steve. He acts like he hates him to try to get over it (it absolutely doesn’t work a single bit).

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

started watching the new live action avatar

it’s. It’s pretty ok I guess? But there’s a lot of things I’m not altogether happy about. It feels very. Generic. Which is kind of sad.

I’m only two episodes in though, so I won’t be too harsh. But there are a few things that I really don’t like, and number one was Aang going into the Avatar State in front of Sokka and Katara for the first time when seeing Monk Gyatso instead of when escaping Zuko, and that moment being isolated instead of the moment everyone in the world knew the Avatar had returned

in the original series, Aang goes into the Avatar State when confronted by irrefutable proof in the form of the skeleton of his best friend and mentor - the airbenders really were massacred and he can no longer deny it.

every statue of the Avatar around the globe lights up in a single moment. the legendary figure’s destined return is announced to the world by an overwhelming outpouring of grief and rage from a young child who just discovered that everyone he ever knew and loved is gone. it’s poignant. the Avatar’s return in that moment is not a triumph. that terrifying show of strength and power, enough to light up the world in its glow, is pure emotional anguish from a small twelve year old, who just saw the dead body of his mentor and now believes he is all alone

and Katara and Sokka having seen the Avatar State before means that there is less of the shock and “what is happening” in this pivotal scene (which was the main focus in the live action). of course Sokka is still concerned about them potentially getting flung off the mountain. but both of them know this reaction for what it is - mysterious power, sure, but primarily, they see and recognize his grief.

I just. what happened to “we’re your family now” and “neither of us are gonna let anything happen to you”??? :(

on a side note, I do feel like Katara and Sokka themselves have been heavily (heh) watered down. it’s a shame. Sokka’s my favourite, and I just think that I. Don’t trust writers with Katara now. (Why is her waterbending a secret? The whole reason she didn’t learn was because there was no one to teach her and she couldn’t leave… also where is her instant connection with Aang… where is their silliness… where did it go…)

however! I did like a couple things that were done and I want to be a bit positive so here

love Zuko and Suki’s actors. they did a great job

Sokka and Suki’s training together was cute ☺️ (though I wish he had worn the uniform of the Kyoshi Warriors…)

Aang himself is adorable :) (wish he got to be a little more silly but Netflix adaptations always are more serious for some reason)

I actually kind of enjoyed getting to see some of the scenes from the war’s outbreak. I prefer the way the original show portrays it, with a lot of info being learned reverse chronologically, but it was cool to see Sozin, and some of the airbenders, and a little more of Gyatso (who I also really enjoyed :’) )

Katara bending water at Aang and it reducing to them splashing each other without even trying to bend. Rare sillies!

I thought Kyoshi herself coming to defend her island was pretty sweet!!!

Katara getting flashbacks to her mother’s death on seeing firebending. Well I don’t like this, obviously, but it clearly shows how her mother’s death haunts her, and if they have Katara face off against Zuko again at the North Pole, it’ll be all the more triumphant.

Suki’s mom!!! Damn she was so cool!!!!!!

#also whyyy was Katara not the first person Aang saw??? this is really important!!! #and what is Katara’s role here. She didn’t even seem to break the iceberg. That’s. That’s her whole. That’s. She. She kickstarts it. Gah. #Katara my beloved my sweetie I don’t know why your writing got fucked up in the comics and now here #you deserve so much better #also why no Aang and Zuko confrontation? hello? that’s really important??? #they had him meet Iroh though. so that was actually pretty interesting #no agni kai between Zhao and Zuko either? maybe it’ll happen next episode? #ugh. I actually don’t like a lot of things. But I’ve only watched two episode so I’ll be chill and wait for more #storyrambles #atla #also this is just me being nitpicky but if we were going to actually see gyatso’s death (which. Idk it was more impactful not seeing it tbh #there’s this implication that gyatso may have broken his vow of pacifism since his skeleton was surrounded by tons of fire nation soldiers #implying he may have killed them #it wouldn’t have fit or made sense at the beginning of the show #but if they were going to show his death scene. Idk. Guess I just expected something more substantial #personally from what little we knew of Gyatso it actually does seem likely he’d break his vow if he really did die protecting the children #also. he was supposed to be the strongest airbender at the time. come on now. he just gets roasted?

after spending all of season 2 gleefully imagining hannibal getting his comeuppance... I think mizumono broke me

#hannibal #that last supper with hannibal and will fucked me up #he knew he KNEW HE KNEW that will was still with the fbi #and gave him the hannibal style olive branch of: #hey. babe. it's okay. i get it. you're conflicted. we can just... go. #and abigail was ALIVE THE WHOLE TIME #and then he fucking killed her out of sheer petty spite that his rose-tinted murder family plan did not come together #because he could not stand the thought of abigail and will being a family without him #or even abigail still leaving with hannibal but missing will #and then JACK TRYING TO CALL BELLA #the only person i don't feel as bad for as i should is alana bc she just... doesn't really do it for me as a character #like i get it i get why she's the way she is she's meant to be the only sane person adrift in this sea of utter madness #but her being locked out of the loop and two steps behind everyone else is kind of... annoying. like alana!!! girl!!!! get with it!!!!! #but god hannibal. hannibal. hannibal. #i still kind of want to see him dead but i also kind of want to pat him #(from a distance. with like a mop or something like that one gif) #he really is in love with will #or at least the closest thing to love he can feel #and he really was imagining a way they could live a life together #sure it was a life on the run as cannibalistic serial killers constantly evading the fbi who would hunt them down until the day they died #but they would be cannibalistic serial killers with like. a picket fence. maybe some dogs. #oh my god wait the funniest thought just occurred to me #will refusing the offer of running off into the night with hannibal not because of any moral scruples #but because he would have had to leave his dogs behind #like hannibal come ON you KNOW this man did you really not include his dogs in the escape plan???? #amateur mistake. do better next time.

The Slope by @megatron-fucks provides a great scene where Pharma gets to blow up on Ratchet about how he lost everything good in his life and faced a fate worse than death so Ratchet has no right to judge him.

But you know what else I really want to see and might write myself?

I want a post-Delphi scene where Pharma gets to verbally rip Ratchet apart about how he disowned Pharma and is acting as if the 'new Pharma' is a completely different person, but in reality Ratchet is just desperate to convince himself that Pharma was always a bad apple and the "best friend" Ratchet knew was either a lie or a person who's "died." Basically Pharma getting to lambast Ratchet about how 'the person he used to be' isn't some separate entity, that the old Pharma LITERALLY IS HIM and it's Ratchet who's a piece of shit for being unable to reconcile that Pharma could be his former best friend and also the monster he ended up becoming.

Mostly in regards to the aspect of canon where despite being former best friends, Ratchet made basically zero efforts to have any sympathy for Pharma or extend help/mercy to him and mostly used their former friendship to prey on Pharma's insecurities to manipulate him into doing what he wanted.

Of course it's a narration by Pharma so it might not be 100% correct or unbiased, but like. I just desperately crave some sort of resolution between Ratchet and Pharma. Or if not a resolution, at least some catharsis where Pharma gets to unload and Ratchet acknowledges he was a bastard.

#squiggposting #pharma apologism #i know that at the time they thought pharma died #but it literally is SO disturbing that ratchet and first aid talk about pharma like #'he was a good doctor for most of his life' 'you can carry the best part of him with you' #it's fucked up bc like. good doctor pharma and bad autobot pharma arent two people in one body #pharma is pharma it's literally the same good doctor who turned into the bad autobot #it lowkey reads as if theyre trying to compartmentalize pharma like. oh there was Good Pharma and Bad Pharma #but the reality is the good and bad are a whole person-- Pharma #it was a gradual slope to madness and evil caused SPECIFICALLY BY PHARMA WANTING TO PROTECT OTHERS #it's kinda fucked up that no one ever acknowledges that #even in the fandom level there's often a silent implication that pharma was always a little evil/suspicious #so delphi just revealed his true colors or something. like no he went insane under threat of the DJD #idk i'm apologisting for my boy #but real talk i do think pharma and the way ratchet/others treated him could make a good story abt like #the way ppl want others to fit neatly into good/evil roles ESPECIALLY IF THEY USED TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM #and how ppl will attempt to distance themselves from 'problematic' exes by just claiming #'oh i always knew there was something evil about them' even when that wasnt the case #idk lol. i mean ppl acknowledge pharma used to be a good doctor but just bc they say it #doesnt mean they actually gave him a chance or didnt treat him as just an autobot who went bad #i know im being contradictory. i'm apologisting i didnt ask for feedback sjfksjfjsjd
