I’ve finished the third Fëanorian Week drawing. Only four more to go.... In the meantime, here’s another Star Trek post for you because 1. it’s April Fool’s Day which makes me want to post something funny, and 2. I just recently finished the third TOS season and am in denial about having run out of new episodes. But now it’s on to the movies!

I’m sure this joke has been made before, but I can’t believe this was literally a plot point in an episode.

Transcription:

[Garth as Kirk:] “Shoot him, he’s the clone!” [Spock:] “The real Kirk would never pass up an opportunity to die!”

#kirk #spock #million dollar writing on a five cent budget #my trash #is this actually funny or am i just tired #heck yeah bromance #emotional support alien #/end classification tags #the episode was ''whom gods destroy'' in case anyone was wondering #also you wouldn't be able to guess from the detail level but this comic took me almost an hour #lots of drawing and erasing and redrawing and reerasing #i've still not drawn these characters enough to be able to doodle them quickly #also kirk looks like chekhov and spock looks like the spock from the new movies #maybe someday i'll figure it out but so far this is what we've got

If skz wrote a song for their s/o

Pairing: ot8 skz × gn!reader (individually)

Description: Stray Kids write a song for their s/o, inspired by their actual songs and respective lyricists

Genre: Fluff and maybe a little bit of angst (couple fights, low self-esteem and fear of rejection are mentioned)

A/n: Kinda of unexpected of me to post something like that since I only write short scenarios but! i felt like doing something like this, hope you guys can enjoy

Chan - youtiful

You know whenever there is a chance I'll tell you that you are amazing as you are; Cause when you give me a glance I'm sure that I see the universe in your eyes

He knows how hard insecurities can get and he would hate to see you doubting yourself. He wrote this song with you in mind, hoping it would help you to feel more confident and see your worth.

Lee Know - Waiting For Us

Cause I'm right here waiting for us; At times I was afraid; I didn't think you'd ever come again; So I'll tighly hold your hand; No matter what moment comes; I won't let you go

He probably wrote this one after an argument and he is sure he never wants to fight with you ever again. You are the love of his life and he wants to be with you no matter what and no matter when. This would also be his comfort song whenever he was in tour and far away.

Changbin - Sorry, I Love You

I know I’ll regret, so I end this; I know I’ll regret, so I decide to express my feelings; I want to be more than just friends; I like you too much; Sorry that I like you so much, I'm sorry; I tried to hide my feelings but I guess it was too obvious

He wrote this right before he confessed. He was so sure you didn't like him back?? Up to him, he'd never say anything about his feelings 'cause he didn't want to ruin the friendship. But you are too beautiful to be just friends and he needed to tell you everything. Even though the scenario of the song is pessimistic, it encourages him to confess.

Hyunjin - Hoodie Season

Hey baby, I'll make you my lover ey; When you feel the winter wind in autumn; Ooh ah, ooh ah will you hug me warmly; Fallen leaves, like fallen leaves; We gon' fall in love

And they fell in a love in a spring autumn day. Even though this part of the lyrics talks directly to you, this song is not exactly about you, it's about what you make him feel. A hopeless romantic, he was born to love but he also expects to be loved and you make him feel this way. You are like the hoodie that protects him from the cold wind and makes him feel warm.

Han - MIXTAPE: OH

When my hands touch you; We take each other's breath away; At each other's gaze the feeling we've never felt before; This has no explanation; I know it's nothing ordinary; Makes me want more

This one would be written before you guys got into a relationship and he would be so confused. Did you want the same as him? That was just attraction or perhaps something more? This song was basically a brainstorming, trying to figure out the whole situation as it was something new to him.

Felix - WOW

You who's different, curious of you; Your vibe which has changed, curious of you; My feelings that I cannot name, mysterious of you; your gaze when you're staring at me; Let me say wow

He wrote this one in his delulu era i'm 100% sure. You would look at him for a second and he would be speechless. He would spend the whole day thinking about you and wondering if you felt the same, trying to read all the possible signs, even writing about it.

Seungmin - my universe

So close yet so far, your and my world; I will always find you till the end always; Even if I fall behind, I will follow you; My universe

He knows the idol life is hard to keep up with, but still you were there for him in all those hard moments and he is so, so grateful for that! If he believes in afterlife, he is sure he will find you in his next life. That's how it is: you guys are meant to be.

I.N - #LoveSTAY

I will never make you lonely; you'll always be beside me; Someday I'll get exhausted and cry; Fall down and feel pain again; it doesn't matter once again; I can endure it by looking at you; Cause I love you

Yes, it is about Stay. But I.N can't help but think about you in some verses. He considers himself so so lucky to have you: you were there in his worst moments and you made ordinary days become the best moments of his life. You are his medicine and he hopes he can be the same to you

OKAY! Spoilers for Original Final Fantasy VII discussion of Rebirth! This is your only warning.

Cloud remembering Zack was a real surprise... even if he remembered wrong. Well, I'm sure in another world that's exactly what did happen, but not to this Cloud. I did love Tifa being all "I'll let Aerith know, okay????" because she knows Cloud's not got it right...

I really like that they're playing up the degradation angle with Cloud, even though that's not what it is. S Samples INDEED. It's been a minute since I played Crisis Core, but I also think that's why Zack didn't experience degradation. Of course, he also died sooooo...

When you're talking with Biggs, it's like he's from the main remake timeline whereas Zack is from the alternate universe. Initially I thought maybe they were dead in the lifestream, but of course that didn't make sense... And how Cloud can see into that other world in his dreams... but it's also not the one he winds up in near the end, because the only way to keep track of what universe we're all in is based on Stamp the dog. I think we've seen four variations now?? Maybe five? Because when Zack makes his choice in the tunnels, he creates another alternate world. UGH SO GOOD.

Oooh, but the opening flashback where you see hints of the REAL Cloud under the mask... So subtle. So good.

Evil Cloud. Evil, Sephiroth-quoting Cloud who kills indiscriminately. YEEEEEEEES. He was so ready to straight up murder Elena daaaaaaayum.

I love that they're really playing up how unstable and genuinely dangerous Cloud is to be around. The real Cloud is in there somewhere, but he's so lost. And the ending where he's chatting away to Aerith even though she's dead... although that did also undercut how impactful that part of the original was. The part where Sephiroth tells him he doesn't have any feelings because he's a puppet and Cloud fights back against that was lost in Rebirth because we flick between realities - including one where Cloud murdered her (at least that's what it looked like to me). Ultimately, I do like the ending, but the original did it better. Honestly, it will be easier to figure out how far they're taking that once we play the final part of the remake. I understand they have to pace a three part remake very different because in the original you just... carry on to Icicle Inn.

...seriously though, does he think she's alive???? Because it really feels like he thinks she's alive... which, well, I guess we'll see him mourn later.

The way they're really foreshadowing how Cloud is ultimately the most successful robed figure - albeit without the robe - because Hojo considered him to be a failed experiment. Again, it's in the original, but they're able to really expand on it here.

Oh - another minor complaint but still: did not like that we can't go upstairs in Shinra Mansion. Another part of the original I loved. But LOL at the door code. I SEE YOU, SQUARE ENIX.

The sidequest with the dude who makes a weapon for Barret and says that someday Barret might not need the gun any more. Nice nod to Advent Children.

Speaking of Advent Children, which obviously at this point in the remakes isn't canon, but with Cloud being so out of it re: Aerith it kinda takes away the whole him coming apart because of his depression and guilt in AC.

Hey, SE, while you're busy remaking stuff, wanna update those graphics on Advent Children? I always forget how GREY it is until I watch it again. And Cloud has such pretty eyes in the remakes!

Looking through the soundsets for some alienage pals, and i have spoils to share!

First up is Shianni. I'll be honest, i thought this was her Bad Idea comment at first because she can be so sarcastic, but it is fun to imagine her saying this approvingly. Most of these i've never heard in the game, and i don't know where i could find the actual audio files

I just love her sass

And here's a cute little parallel between Shianni and Soris's battle cries. I'm picturing the childhood wrestling matches already. Shiannii's probably around 2-4 years younger than him but kicking his ass more often than not

Soris also has a pair of delightful figures of speech for his Good Idea and Bad Idea comments

The existence of a Spell Failed comment for Soris had me 👀 for the half minute before i remembered that every companion has one. I assume it's in case any talent regardless of class gets interrupted, but i did start to think about that AU potential for a hot second. Might have to write a fic about it someday. Apostate Soris AU is just ripe for the presses

This one i just really want to know what his line of thinking was. While he's in the party, his only other party member is the Warden. If the Warden goes down, there's no "we" to help them unless you are in that conditional and very narrow window before f!Tabris finds Nelaros. Even while active, that would still mean running across the map to find him. Maybe it was originally planned to have someone else also join you during the break in or for Nelaros to live? Idk. Could just be a regular oversight since it's such a generic line

Moving on to Cyrion with something that is so simple yet would fill my Tabris with so much shame

Also we've got Valendrian coming in with the fire in his belly! He's so much more vicious than i expected! "Such a pathetic creature you are." Hello??? Does he actually know how to fight? Am i going to have to actually play Darkspawn Chronicles for a chance to maybe hear some of this now? What other possible combat scenario could this be intended for except that the toolset doesn't include anything DLC except Shale? I might go insane about this

(Yes, there's also a note that he'll never be in combat or controlled by the player, but at least his threaten and 5th battle cry don't look to be generic. Idk i have thoughts and questions about this, but Alistair's character sheet says he's 32, so it's not like it'd be the first or biggest retcon from the toolset)

We've also got quite a bit of elven coming from Valendrian! I don't think "Mur ta tanalla" even has a known canon translation but whatever it means clearly works as a battle cry

And to close out, some pickpocket reactions in the order of Shianni, Soris, Cyrion, Valendrian. Why did you attempt to steal from your father? Now, he's confused and disappointed

Soris's is definitely written with the CE Warden in mind, but i'd wager Shianni's is written with a non-CE Warden in mind. It's not that i don't think she'd say it, but (considering the VO note is "threatening") i do think that she'd instead take to it more as a poor joke if it were cousin instead of a near-stranger, especially if this cousin didn't accept Vaughan's bribe

Valendrian's line here also doesn't seem like he's speaking to a Warden Tabris considering he's described as a surrogate uncle to the alienage. But also him threatening anyone seems out of character. What happened to "the world has far more use of those who know how to stay their blades"? I'd expect exasperation, admonishment, maybe a little shaming. Can you imagine him saying this to a Cousland armed to the teeth? Combined with what i've already shown from him, it really makes you wonder how much his character changed over the course of development

And, uh, Nelaros. Either this line is miscategorized, or he doesn't quite get the concept of a war cry

#dragon age #shianni tabris #soris tabris #cyrion tabris #valendrian #nelaros #da toolset #au: apostate soris #<- for archival purposes #bumble? thinking about the tabris family again? say it ain't so!

Hello, and happy new year! I couldn't pick just one ask, so I smushed them all together: 30/31 for FTF, 33, 39, and 27 (how you would have changed S9, anyway~.) :D Always interested to hear!

Happy new year to you, @randomfoggytiger!

30/31. How did you feel about FTF? Favorite thing(s) / moment(s) from FTF?

Love FTF! I always describe it as a love story that just happens to have aliens in it. As far as favorites, the hallway scene of course. Also these smaller moments/things that I don't see mentioned as much:

~ The parallel between Stevie falling into the cave and getting the wind knocked out of him at the beginning and Mulder falling through the snow in Antarctica and getting the wind knocked out of him.

~ Whatever it was that Mulder pulled out of his pants pocket and tossed on the floor when he went to fetch something sweet for Scully. I want to know what it was and at the same time tell him not be a litterbug, dammit! 🤣

~ Mulder very clearly mouthing "Fuck" in that same scene when he figures out he's in trouble.

~ Scully little leg swing when she's alone in the hallway outside the OPR review the first time.

~ The way Scully looks up at Mulder after she examines the bone fragments in Dallas.

~ The way the shot is framed as Mulder steps out onto the sidewalk after he leaves Kurtzweil's apartment. Gorgeous! Rob Bowman was a gift to TXF and this movie.

~ The "No shit, Sherlock" look Mulder gives her when they reach the crossroads and Scully tells him, "We've got two choices - one of them's wrong."

I'm gonna stop with those. Otherwise this will be novel-length. 😆Maybe I'll write something up someday.

27. List some season 9 MSR headcanons.

Can't, sorry. The only episode of S9 I watched was The Truth. I have zero HCs for that season. And that means I can't even begin to tell you how I'd change it. I mean... toss that mf'er into the trash and forget it ever happened, along with 90% of S8, IWTB, and Seasons 10 & 11?

33. Favorite season finale?

Probably Gethsemane. I mean, the majority of Philes knew Mulder wasn't really dead. But there was much more we didn't know, and that sparked so much discussion and so much fanfic that that break between S4 and S5 was just as exciting as it was frustrating. That was like the pinnacle of what it meant to be a fan of the show. Good times!

39. When do you think Mulder and Scully first started dating?

I have two answers to this: the first is that they never "dated," at least not in the widely understood definition of that term. The second is that every time they were together was a date. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the asks!

I shouldn't stay up so late anymore while sober, because then I start missing people I had to leave for safety reasons. Or people who just... stopped texting one day even though we were friends for years, and started dodging my messages and calls. Or people who were part of my life for a season, but we've now lost touch.

And they're not coming back, and some of them wouldn't or shouldn't, but I notice their absence all the same. I don't like being alone. I fucking hate it. But I keep getting hurt every time I trust someone, and that's a shitty lesson to learn.

So I'm trying to... listen to myself. And stay safe. And build strong friendships based on mutual trust, and not one person giving more than the other. I'm trying to not use more energy than I physically, mentally, or emotionally have to give, like I used to.

But I'm also trying to be kind, and open, and honest. It is not always easy. I do not always succeed. I mean, anyone who says they have their life entirely figured out before turning 30 is full of shit, because life changes (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on who you are and where you're at).

If I could ask one thing of the universe, it'd be to just. Find someone who Gets It. And they don't just think they do, they actually do. That's such a tall order because no human is perfect, and it's not realistic to only accept someone who comes my way who has no room to grow. I'd be a fucking hypocrite. I'd be an asshole.

Being in a loving relationship isn't supposed to be this hard, right? I shouldn't expect to be ridiculed or forgotten or disbelieved, right? Just because I have friendship, romantic, and sexual trauma doesn't mean my neural pathways are just too fucked up to be loved or find love, right? I'm not... broken?

There's a song by Tom Odell, "Another Love", that I've covered and sung at cabarets and alone to echoes against the wall for years. The speaker laments that he wants to love, cry, laugh, fight, feel anything in this new relationship of his, with this person who is so precious to him, and he just... can't. He used up everything in his prior relationships, he got burnt out, his time was wasted, whatever.

For the writer of the song, his purpose was to speak to a girl that he wants to be with but can't because he's currently in a relationship. However, he's acknowledged that many listeners interpret it as talking about a past relationship, and that's the meaning it holds for me. That's what it means to me when I sing it.

I don't want to miss Someone because I was burnt out by people who did not care. Because I was so focused on making everyone but myself happy that I didn't have the energy to engage. And so I try to do everything I can to fix things, and I've even gone back to those who left, and been hurt again. Sometimes I fuck up at trying to fix things despite my (and occasionally, their) best efforts because we just aren't compatible, or our trauma overlaps, or whatever it is this time.

It is so terrifying to put yourself out there only to get hurt... But I also know that I fear being alone more than I fear getting hurt. I'm not done growing or learning. I will fuck up again. Hell, I'm an adult who's barely started the correct puberty. I can barely take care of my cat, let alone myself.

But I can't stop hoping that I'll find Someone. Or Someones. I have far too much love to give for that. A fucking hopeless grayromantic.

Maybe someday, I'll get there.

11, 29, 52, 56, 92, 93, 112, 132, 141, 177, 182 (ik it’s a lot but you said you were bored sooo)

11- Have you ever dyed your hair?

Once, when I was 15 (and trying to exert some control over my life shortly after my gender crisis), I dyed a couple of purple streaks in my hair. My dad was livid. I looked pretty cool, though. Maybe I'll do it again someday!

29- What would you say is your best quality?

I'm good with people. I'm outgoing, and I'm good at reading others and figuring out the perfect things to say to make them happy or make them like me. It's taking off the mask that's the difficult part...

52- Ever broken any bones?

Several! I was always an active child, and some would say "reckless." And even when I was older, there was a time a few years ago when I fell from my horse and hurt my toe. Thankfully, I haven't broken anything since then.

56- What are three things most people don’t know about you?

There are so many things that most people don't know about me. Even basic tenets of my personality: I'm spiteful, I'm quite calculating, and I have an absolutely filthy mind.

92- Say 7 facts about your childhood:

I have a confusing family tree. Aside from my father and stepmother, I grew up with my half-sister and then my stepmother's nephew who was taken in by her and my dad when I was little. To say nothing of the fact that my maternal aunt and my dad have always hated each other, or the fact that they're second cousins...

I said it before, but I was a very active child. I would run around outside a lot, getting into scrapes and mischief. It drove my dad up the wall. Which was kind of the point, sometimes. After all...

My dad was fairly neglectful, emotionally. I was always taken care of, but it was by tutors and nannies and au pairs, not by my dad himself. I had a lot of things, but it was lonely.

Not completely lonely, though, because alongside those other people, I also had Alesdair when I was little! Since his dad worked for my dad, we got to be friends for several years as children (until his dad died and he moved away when I was 8). He was always patient and kind to me, and he was my first true friend.

My second true friend, of course, was Leon when he came along. I was loud and a little too bossy, but somehow we were thicker than thieves for the first several years together. We drifted apart, eventually--and to this day, I'm not entirely sure why--but I'll always treasure those early memories.

Leon moved out to start college when he was only 14, and ever since then, my sister would go to live with him during winter where the cold wasn't as severe. So ever since I was 15, the house got so much lonelier and more oppressive.

Even so, I was spoiled rotten, and I did many activities during my childhood. I've learned fencing, ballroom dancing, chess, and horseback riding. My tutors tried to teach me French and Korean, too (since my dad's company deals with France a lot, and also my dad is half-Korean) but I am positively hopeless with languages.

93- The best and the worst childhood memories:

The best: I can't settle on one. Just one of those idyllic summer days, playing with Alesdair and Leon and baby Gemma outside, before everything went to shit.

The worst: When Leon moved out. He'd been distant from me for years before that, but that was when it really sank in that it would stay that way. (Or so I thought--we've started becoming close again lately~)

112- Who was your first kiss with?

I haven't had my first kiss yet. I refuse to count when that creep planted one on me without consent. That was an attack, and it was about power. It wasn't a real kiss. My real first kiss, when it happens, will be ultra-romantic.

132- Do you think someone has feelings for you?

Yes and no. Since I'm lowkey a public figure (or at least, I was), people have definitely had shallow attractions toward me for my looks. But as far as people who actually know me? And those people having feelings for me? Don't make me laugh. Nobody who knows the actual me could possibly have real feelings for me.

141- Is there a boy/girl who you would do absolutely everything for?

Leon and Gemma, full stop. Though I suspect that's not the kind of answer this question was looking for~

177- Do you like to dance?

Yes! Like I said, I took ballroom dance lessons as a kid, and I really enjoyed them. Leon took them along with me, which always made it fun. He was quite clumsy--and I don't think our teacher or Dad was happy that I insisted on leading--but I had a blast. I still enjoy dancing, even though I haven't had many opportunities for formal dancing since I was kicked out.

182- Put your music player on shuffle and write the first ten songs that play:

Sure thing! Enjoy my chaotic music taste:

Ignorance--Paramore

2. Rät--LittleJayneyCakes

3. The Village--Wrabel

4. Dream Boy--Jack Jupiter

5. Grace Kelly--Mika

6. You Need to Calm Down--Taylor Swift

7. Portrait of a Girl--Bare: A Pop Opera

8. Better Luck Next Time--We Are the In Crowd

9. Lilith--Halsey

10. Just Like You--Three Days Grace

Thanks again xoxo~
