fascinated by the possibility of a surge of augment panic in the news and in screening texts (jack makes the news?) causing julian not to follow a medical or starfleet career.

a couple of suspected or confirmed augments are identified in positions of influence, federation representatives and famous athletes and maybe, yes, a successful researcher or two.

there are breaking news cases; there are trials, charges of treason and fraud mostly. desperate chases, family turning in family. self-administered falls from the great heights of government buildings. suspicious deaths in custody.

julian bashir keeps going to school. julian bashir fails a number of assignments, drops out of spring ball and manages to get mild but persistent bad habits at tennis thing after another. perhaps a little too fast, and even that could be suspicious, but the bashirs for once all agree - it would be more suspicious to move planets now.

too many burned trails, too many burned bridges. it is a momentous time for him, a terrible time.

he still leaves home as soon as possible. leaves earth as soon as possible; that's where most augments have been found, and where suspicion is highest, prejudice strongest. better to stick to outer space, the frontier. better not to stick out. find something discreet to do, low-profile.

unexceptional. that is the word, always.

mr. bashir, federaji civilian, makes his way to the bajoran station of deep space nine. technically not federation territory; a liminal place, and not an easy one to make a living. and it's no illegal, in bajoran space, for augmented individuals to start a business, hold a lease, own property.

bashir's books and holos appears one day to the next. a small place, tucked in between the tailor's and the klingon eatery. rows of bajoran scrolls and andorians carved tables and trill holopuzzles, old hardback books. lines and lines of isolinear rods, nestled carefully by genre.

some of them not quite permitted in every corner of the quadrant, but goodness, what's life without a little bit of censured literature?

he's fond of the censured authors, mr. bashir. a sentimental man, mr. bashir, head half-caught in the clouds most of the time. whoever decides to travel the quadrant collecting books, really? the federation must be truly a great boring idyll, if its people are so desperate for escapism as that.

sisko looks into it; odo looks into it. there's not much to see. well, nothing bad, really; probably starfleet can turn a blind eye, if any dissident speeches make their way beneath the counter, as long as they're cardassian and romulan and klingon dissident texts.

but mostly his is only a narrow shop, a place for the open-minded with a few attempts at soirées every once in a while - a recital by a resistance poet here, a book signing there.

there's a book club, as well, which takes some time to find its feet but becomes a station staple once lieutenant dax decides to befriend him.

well. two book clubs, really. but whatever goes on at lunch between storefront neighbors with a passion for the literary is really no one's business, is it?

i unironically believe combine harvesters and looms and washing machines and electric stoves and refrigerators are transformative for the poor in india, esp women. i don't really find it possible to comprehend as liberatory a political programme that demands that we must retreat from labour saving technologies because they're tainted by civilisation. like i lived without a refrigerator for a few months do you know how much of your life you end up reorienting to preserving food even when you have access to supermarkets? does everyone need a personal one? def not. a new one with fancy features every year? no. are all such technologies equal in terms of their impact environmentally viz labour saved? no. but this insistence on a prelapsarian world predating such technology means a refusal to sketch out a political programme that seeks to do more than retreat to a theoretical primitive communism. and i haven't even touched on how in the third world the fantasy of jury rigged medical tech and self compounded medication is real and kills more often than capitalist negligence does in the first.

and unless you believe the first world is the only place that deserves such technologies, we do have to produce more of them to expand access to the global poor.

It’s the first time I make fanart for a “big” creator like Incendiary but they’ve been very kind to me and I wanted to thank them for the support. I don’t know if they’re on Tumblr tho T.T anyway go watch Moriah Undergrounds NOW

The way youtube news channels report on helldivers weapon balance changes would make you think the devs are tyrannical overlords instead of just doing like. Bare minimum balance tweaks

[xamaxenta]

Freak city gc went fuckin crazy today over Silk’s Ace lives au and subsequently his timeskip design and alias bc he’s technically considered dead by the marines and i wish i could tag everyone involved except i actually dont know anyones @ other than @niko-rion

Not my greatest hit bc im slogging thru the low point of the art improvement graph so i worked on vibes alone despite the sketch being madly sloppy

Friends!

Life has settled a little bit more, and a small update:

The Incendiverse has been moved to a private collection on AO3; yes, yes, I know, but currently my mind shall not be changed on this matter. I also shall not provide pdf copies at this time, though I'm sure someone around will have one should anyone be searching. My reluctance to share a copy or be involved in copy sharing is not because I dislike people having copies or sharing them, I love the download button, always download fics people, go wild. I just do not have the mental capacity or wish to always check who I am sharing it with, and nor can I even do it reliably, people lie about age all the time. Posting on AO3 with proper labels and warnings to indicate which audience should be reading places the choice/responsibility on the reader, but it's a whole other can of worms if I'm sending them out myself, you know? I could unknowingly and personally send my E rated fic to an underage person and I am firmly unwilling to risk that.

Currently my plan is to sit with the fic (meditate with it, become one with it, perhaps sob over it a while, who knows), do some edits and overhauling, ease back in with copious amounts of mental lube etc. The shift to a private collection does not necessarily mean it is abandoned, but it's also not my main focus at this time. It's still unfortunately rather hard for me to think about the fic with any real joy at the moment, so temper your hopes/expectations accordingly.

Please know how very grateful I am for the kindness I've received, both in general but also about this fic specifically. You're all so lovely.

xoxo,

Ros

I made another poor decision and posted the first chapter of this (again? But edited?) - not sure if/when/how it will be updated but thought I’d share anyway. I do have a few chapters written that I could probably edit pretty quick but we’ll see.

(yes my focus is still going to be B&G!)

EMERGENCY CAT SURGERY | Pickle needs HELP!

I never thought it would be my turn to make one of these posts.

TW; CAT INJURY

Sunday night, my 6 month old kitten, pickle, had a really bad fall down a hardwood staircase after getting startled, and upon impact with the first floor, his little femur took the entire force of the impact and it snapped clean in half. My heart dropped to my stomach when I heard him thump hard against the ground and he began to cry, we immediately dropped everything and rushed him to the emergency vet nearby.

Turns out, the injury was worst than we thought. He needs orthopedic surgery to fit his femur with a metal plate. This will help him recover faster with the best successful outcome for his quality of life, but this is going to cost a staggering $4,000 dollars. He hasn't even celebrated his 1st birthday yet, he's still just a baby and this terrible accident happened. Pickle is truly my best friend, he has been my little beacon of light through it all, he is the one who sits with me while I write long chapters for my novels, and I will do absolutely anything for him.

My heart is fucking shattered seeing my normally happy and high-energy baby have such a traumatic injury like this. I know this is hard on his mental health, too. Please, if you can, help us help pickle. If anyone is willing to donate to our GoFundMe to help us alleviate the burden of surgery costs while I'm literally still desperately job hunting, it would help me and my partner more than you can imagine. If you can't financially support it at the moment, don't worry, I completely understand. But please, share this post as far out into your friends list as you can. Sharing will still help us out so so much.

Whether you donate or share, Pickle thanks you for helping his little leg get better. ❤️‍🩹
