Julian Being Pushed Against Walls Masterpost

I picked "on-screen chemistry and important believable connection." All my ships fall into that, canon, and real potential for canon.

I ship by what I see, by what I am shown and told in the media. I like when I see more than enough "evidence" to ship. I like it when not much at all has to change for the ship to happen.

It's fun for me as a writer to work within canon with slight alterations. Where its believable the ship is happening in the spaces we don't see and in added extra context to scenes we do see.

I can handle a little canon-bending, because if the ship isn't explicitly canon, you have to do that. (Like saying a later one-off romance episode doesn't happen the same way if the ship gets together earlier in the show). But if you have to change the overarching canon context or make them out of character? No.

And with the rest of the choices, I need more than "they are co-workers or basic friends who look at each other with worry in dangerous situations." Interactions like that are normal and expected in the context. Do they actually have or develop a definite spark to make it deeper?

Hey, I wanna talk about how we do fandom! I've come to realize that I, personally, tend to differ from many others in that I highly prefer to only engage with a text as it's written, so I don't tend to really like fanon/extremely ooc characterizations and I find it hard to get invested in ships that aren't canon. My way of doing fandom isn't better or worse than anyone else's, but I am curious about how much of a minority I'm in! So:

*We've all seen ships of characters not from the same media and stuff like shipping the concept of ennui with the color blue, okay, I'm asking what you, personally, find compelling!

Julian has a new holo-program game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He's having a lot of fun so far. He's playing as a Rogue Shadow Dragon.

Summary: 31 stories of pain and angst for the crews of the Enterprise-D and Deep Space Nine.

#31: "I'm alive, I'm just not well." - Nog and Ezri

[lady-sci-fi]

I find it interesting how TNG and DS9 did the same plot with Data/Geordi and Miles/Keiko in “TNG: The Most Toys” and “DS9: Armageddon Game”.

Data and Miles “die” at the start of the episodes with very good evidence that they are dead. Data’s shuttle explosion with his components in the right proportions in the debris. The video recording of Miles being disintegrated in a radiation burst.

Geordi and Keiko have an initially kind of stoic reaction to it, which I read as disbelief. They then both seem to accept it for a little while, although we only see Geordi going through Data’s things and not Keiko doing the same.

Geordi and Keiko get it into their minds that Data and Miles are not dead, because of one tiny thing they believe was off about their behavior before they died. Data not saying the piloting protocol word-for-word on his last trip. Miles drinking coffee in the afternoon.

This leads Geordi and Keiko to think that they aren’t dead, and they’re both very set in this idea. They manage to convince the others, and Data and Miles are rescued.

But there are two differences.

One is that there’s much more emphasis on Geordi’s experience of Data’s death and his denial of it. Keiko doesn’t get to show the same for Miles.

Two is that Geordi was completely right about the slight offness of Data’s behavior. Keiko was wrong, because Miles does regularly drink coffee in the afternoon.

I’m not quite sure what to make of this.

Except maybe the vague notion of Geordi’s attention to Data being played completely seriously, while Keiko’s attention to Miles being played as a bit of a joke?

Was Julian and Garak changing into clothes that match the other's skin color on purpose or just a coincidence? 🤔😏
