Do not willingly lie down to be anybody's doormat and then expect that they'll treat you as anything other than muck upon their shoes. Instead, make connections with other recovering doormats and rise up together in mutual support and true friendship. You can do this.

You deserve good, comprehensive, competent care and so many of you aren't getting it. That makes me so angry and sad. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

But just because you're what you perceive to be as "nice" to girls doesn't obligate them to like you.

Act with kindness and respect, not transactional mindsets.

I'm writing an extremely long-form, slow-burn romance between Data and an OC.

Trust me, she may not know it until it's too late but she should be wishing that I bail right before I get to Nemesis.

You're allowed to like things that other people aren't into, as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

I neither like to read nor write lengthy descriptions. Not of people, not of places. If I'm reading or writing a description, it needs to have a point in the story, not just there as florid window dressing.

As in, if it's the first Earth sunset a human born on another planet gets to see, sure. Totally valid. Hype that up with all due emotion and meaning.

But a sunset just because the sun has set? Yawn. No thanks. I don't want to read it and I don't want to write it.

Set a scene in terms of weather and general vibe in a couple of sentences, max. Give me a gist of what a character looks like, fine. I don't want to read fifteen paragraphs about every type of wildflower in the meadow that day unless at least one of them is a Chekhov's Poisonous Doomflower of plot significance. I definitely never, ever want to read a cis man's description of any woman's body parts unless, again, it's imminently plot-relevant. Like...Chekhov's Magic Thwapping Extend-o-Tit or something.

It is occurring to me that while I mean Anton Chekhov in this context, there is probably a fic to be had in which Pavel Chekov brings a Poisonous Doomflower aboard the Enterprise and it results in everyone on board - and I do mean everyone - growing Magic Thwapping Extend-o-Tits and now none of the crew can even reach their panels or tricorders around their big unnaturals and the only thing that saves them is an undead, time-traveling Jadzia Dax wielding a sharpened skull fragment from a very-much-dead Rick Berman, going around deflating all the Extend-o-Tits to restore the crew before going back to Uhura's quarters for some not-male-gaze fun times.

I didn't expect this post to go here anymore than anyone reading it did, but here we are.

Do you ever just read a book and you're like "Either they're using too much description, or I'm not using enough"

Picard - himself a perfectionist more often that he'd like - says it's okay to try letting go and see how it's usually okay. <3

I hate being picky

I hate being a perfectionist

Concealing your true self to achieve a sense of belonging with those who demand that you conceal yourself in order to be accepted will never give you the satisfaction of truly belonging, only a leaky bandage over your wounded heart. The real you is worth celebrating.]

I actually love the concept that being your authentic self will scare away the people who aren't meant to be near you.

I'm sorry, Data building another android and when Picard is like “why didn't you tell me” he just goes “well no one else tells you when they procreate” absolutely sends me

Every time I watch another fabulous K-drama my brain wants me to incorporate elements into my Trekfic.

I'm just saying that I have a particular character planned for the SpaceDad Stories eventually based on a particular actress over several K-dramas. Watch out, muahahahahaha.

When you're trying to take a break from your wips but the books you're reading are inspiring you and making you wanna write

Watching Star Trek DS9 and I'm on episode 22 of season 2 and please stop me if I'm wrong, but Dr. Bashir and Garak are dating, right? Cause there's definitely chemistry between them

[kimberlychapman]

My mutuals and I are all totally normal about our love for DATA'S BIG NATURALS omgggggg.

friend said he wants to come over and watch star trek and eat pizza
