Neelix, Tom , and Tuvok trying to load new equipment on to the ship

Neelix: " Turn Turn Turn!

Tom: I don't think we can turn anymore

Tuvok: the logical conclusion is that it won't fit

Neelix: PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT!

Tom: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

Neelix: I don't think it going to pivot anymore

Tuvok: (deadpan) You think?!

optimus trying to hug his stressed out sonboy who is way taller than him is one of those things that keeps bouncing around in my head. i dont think either of them would be quite sure what to do

hot take i guess but when i watch the scene with billy and agatha where she finds out for sure he’s billy maximoff and starts tearing up, i perceive it as being bc she’s still a bit (read: significantly) heartbroken that he isn’t nicky. he isn’t hers. sure, she might’ve known from the beginning to some degree that he was wanda’s, but she doesn’t know for sure. we see that every time she panics because he’s hurt. we see that in the way she refused to leave his side when he was asleep. we see that when rio herself has to shake agatha out of it, saying, “agatha… that boy isn’t yours.” like YES logically i think she knew he wasn’t nicky, that he couldn’t be but we CAN see how painfully, hopelessly desperate agatha is to think that maybe he could be. so in my mind, she sees billy maximoff standing in front of her, finally being met with indisputable proof that he could not possibly be her lost son. how could she not tear up at that?

It’s time.

I have been holding off on this, but it’s 2025 now, and somehow I have.. about 33 Tumblr followers? That may not seem like a lot, but to me it proves that more than one person is interested in me and my ramblings. This is monumental for someone like me. I wanted to do a “year in review” post during which I went over how touching it is that I have friends and even a boyfriend now— in opera form —but I decided against it. Instead, I will be doing a face reveal. Most of you already have a vague idea of what it looks like, and feel free to unfollow me if you see fit; I shall not blame you. I have become more comfortable showing my face a bit at least with Christine— I have censored it in most of my posts where it’s out though —but this time I will not.

This is whom you all have been talking to— under the mask.

This face is a curse, but some people have given me hope about it. I am fully prepared to be turned away, but I cannot keep hiding it and cannot let you all be my friend without knowing what it is that you are friends with.

I’m Erik Destler, and I’m trying to become more comfortable with the face in the mirror.

inspired by @searchingforserendipity25's amazing post, here are some of my silly ideas i banged out this fine snowy winter evening (shout out climate change because snow in texas!)

The one where the Pope discovers that magic is real and that Thomas Lawrence is a wizard. Except are you really a wizard if you haven't used magic for about half your life (the answer is yes because Lawrence uses it expertly to save Benitez's life)

The one where Bellini is down on his luck and in desperate need of money so he gets a sugar daddy. And that sugar daddy is Tedesco. They don’t discover the other’s true identities until decades later when they run into each other in Rome. 

The one where there is some kind of natural disaster which traps Tedesco and Benitez in the same room for hours on end. By the end of it, at least three (3) kisses, two (2) orgasms, and one (1) blowjob has been exchanged. They’re still “enemies”. But now Tedesco is inexplicably Benitez’s #1 private supporter and nearly bit off a bishop’s head when they spoke ill of Innocent 

The one where they are exploring the final frontier on a starship and the captain suddenly dies. So now they must elect a new captain. Also this mysterious officer shows up out of nowhere and apparently he used to work with refugees from the Federation-Klingon war?

The one where Thomas Lawrence is a painter in the 1800s and struggling to find artistic inspiration when Vincent Benitez, a fellow painter, arrives in town. 

The one where Thomas Lawrence endures a string of assassination attempts that he hides with increasing difficulty from the Pope, until his car literally Blows Up, and a piece of shrapnel narrowly misses a vital organ. Benitez is Not Happy about this. Ray does a little investigating because he’s also Unhappy someone tried to blow up the only Englishman he likes and finds out that one of the Cardinals is still paranoid about the simony list… 

The one where they’re in a symphony and the conductor just died and now they need a new conductor. Lawrence plays first violin. Sometimes he wishes his hands literally fall off before he has to pick up the violin and play again. 

The one where the plane crashes a la Yellowjackets! 

During these two months, Lawrence will offer himself up as food five different times. Bellini will begin to wonder about his friend’s mental health. Tedesco is the only one who seriously does want to eat Lawrence. (He's a hungry bitch who went through food scarcity as a child, can you blame him?)

Lawrence and Benitez will stare at each other longingly over the campfire for four weeks. Ray will notice these gazes and be reminded of the time he went and saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire by himself after a close friend recommended it to him and that close friend died before Ray could ask why they told him, a Bishop of the Catholic Church, to see a period drama about lesbian French women. Now he understands. 

Bellini and Tedesco will argue and then fuck it out thrice. They will be secretive and nonchalant and everyone will know because Bellini is limping and Tedesco appears unusually happy. Also sound travels far in a quiet forest. 

Tremblay will take over certain survival tasks twice because he was a Boy Scout in his youth, only to accidentally almost poison the soup with hallucinogenic mushrooms. Benitez catches this mistake just in time, but Tedesco isn’t listening (he’s too busy scripting out the next fight between him and Bellini) and takes a bite. While he doesn’t die, he instead has a vivid dream where he and Bellini turn into slime and merge into a giant slime puddle. He wakes up with an erection. Death is preferable in his opinion. 

And finally, Lawrence’s mild fever will worsen considerably one night, to the point of fatality, and he will hold Vincent’s hands as he confesses all of his sins and love for Vincent, though he knows he shouldn’t feel this way, but he does he does he does, and please use my body to survive and continue God’s work, and Vincent tearfully agrees, only for Ray to shout aha! because he got the damn radio to work and contacted the rescuers.

reading the autobiography of a damn liar means having to cross-reference absolutely every little throwaway anecdote to the point where you look somehow even more insane than him

[bronanlynch]

palisade really is a show abt messy situationships and the many consequences thereof huh. like between the extended brnine love triangle/polycule (now with clem back in the mix due to her ~history w gucci), cori's extremely normal and uncomplicated feelings abt elle evensong, everything that the chimeric cadent has got going on,

[wundrousarts]

blinks at you. shoudl I get back into nevermoor (and either try and get my copy if the first book back from my ex or buy a new one-)

Ummm I am the most biased person to ask 🧍because yes I think you should get back into Nevermoor. Everyone should read Nevermoor and then reread Nevermoor and then—

Jokes aside early 2025 is actually the best time to get back into the books? There may or may not be a Jess-organized reread that I will eagerly join in on if so. If that doesn’t happen I think it would be great for fans to try and organize something (for real this time!).
