Also last thing I'll say about this but I do want to clarify that if you hated the Jack plotline or thought JackKeeley was a terrible portrayal of a wlw relationship/bad queer rep I completely respect your opinion. There were so many well thought out posts about it when the season was airing that I very much enjoyed reading and it is completely valid to have different perspectives on the matter and discuss it respectfully! Everyone is completely within their right to have hated a storyline and to have your own thoughts on how it could have been made better (this is exactly how I feel about Colin's coming out episode, for instance). I simply take issue with someone jumping on a post to call the whole show "biphobic" with "milk toast gay rep" and then dipping, without any examples or evidence or like, basic respect for people who might think differently/enjoyed it. A relationship that turns out badly with an unlikable wlw character does NOT automatically equate to the whole show being "biphobic" and just because you didn't personally think it was good rep doesn't mean that's how everyone in the community needs to also feel. That is the only point I am trying to make :)

Hi I've come to be a nuisance again because this idea has been tormenting me all day
Having Christopher Pike meet a woman while stuck in another universe, someone that he was falling for, someone who sacrificed their life for him to make it home
Him feeling this loss, but doing his best not to wallow as the ship and crew move on, pulling himself together to meet the new cadet joining the Enterprise
Only for this new cadet to be this universe's version of the woman that he lost
okay first off, the VIOLENCE of this
how fuckin dare
secondly, I'm losing my mind over the idea of this, over the possibilities??? and the angst, oh boy, the angst potential -
because he sees this cadet appear on the transporter pad, sees the woman he knew from another universe and for a moment everything just sort of stutters - his heart stops, he can feel the blood from his face draining and the ground has just shifted beneath him - and then he blinks, and this cadet, this stranger wearing the face of someone who could have been so dear to him, is looking nervously between him and Una, the smile on her face flickering, dropping because Christopher's just standing there, frozen in shock. And he shakes himself, smiles, extends a hand and welcomes the cadet on board, before passing her off to Una as quickly as possible without being truly, overtly rude.
And then he tries to avoid her, at the very least, without making it overly obvious. Because of all things, of all things the universe to throw at him - facing his own mortality for the time crystal, facing the consequences of his warning the cadets about the accident - Christopher never would have expected to see another version of the woman who caught him so off guard. But then again, after all the things he's seen, everything he's been through - why wouldn't their paths cross again? A one in a billion chance of being sent to an alternate universe, so what are the odds he'd run into another version of someone who was dear to him, could have been everything to him.
A fixed point in space, anchoring together.
But she doesn't know him. All she knows are the stories she's heard, of the Enterprise, of her crew, of her captain - stories that left her with stars in her eyes and a burning determination to earn her place aboard. When she finally does, it's everything and nothing like she imagined. The crew is amazing, the work is interesting and the ship, my god, the ship is everything she could have dreamed of. But the captain...well. He's friendly enough, but he's standoffish in a way that surprised her, more than a little. After everything she'd heard, all the stories she'd been told, the reports she had read, she thought she would have been welcomed a little more warmly, maybe even been invited to one if those famed dinners she'd heard about.
But Captain Pike's distant with her. Cool, even, which was startling to say the least, especially when she considered how he interacted with the rest of the crew, especially his bridge crew. So for her to be on the receiving end of that polite but distant attention - it hurts. More than she thinks it should, but there's an echo to the hurt she doesn't understand. She pushes through, because he's not displeased with her, and she earned her place aboard the Enterprise, goddammit. She won't let some jumped up flyboy's displeasure over her presence get in the way of the one posting that will make or break her career.
A fixed point. Two stars, anchoring each other, repelling apart - would it be total destruction or the creation of something new?

Every time I log into Tumblr, I am blasted with amazing artists... Like, ya you. The person reading this. I like your art, and am very feral for it in a very normal way. So normal. VERY NORMAL. And am not running around my room, kicking my feet like a little girl, and screaming to the top of my lungs. Nope. Not me. At allllllll. Everything’s so normal over here. Yep.

In this edition of: I’m still alive, I promise---
HELLO, EVERYONE, how are you all doing? I hope you’ve been well and if your mood isn’t the best right now, that’s okay; I hope you find reasons to smile very soon!
Just wanted to quickly pop up and say that I haven’t abandoned any thread or ask or message you’ve sent my way (this applies to both of my blogs) --- life’s just been very hectic and I end up drained by the end of the day and with no energy to address things 😓, but whenever I have a little window of free time, I lurk to take a hold of anything new so I can save it in my drafts AND DO KNOW THAT SEEING YOU ALL IN MY DASH OR IN MY NOTIFICATIONS IS ALWAYS A REASON TO PUT A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE, thank you so much for your loveliness and gargantuan patience, you’re all lights in this platform and wherever you go; your presence is A GIFT ❤️
I’m also in the process of revamping this blog (and my other one), it’s taking...QUITE A WHILE LMAO (if you don’t see anything new it’s because I’ve been in lowkey mode™ editing elsewhere before I can upload it and such) but I’m slowly chipping away and what have you, so that’s another factor as of why I haven’t been around like I used to.
AND YEAH, I’M STILL AROUND, just with zero to no energy these days. HOWEVER, I DO MISS WRITING AND TALKING WITH YOU ALL, PLEASE KNOW YOU’RE ALL WONDERFUL AND I CHERISH EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION WE HAVE 💖💖💖
Take much care and stay hydrated 😊💖💖!!!
