#I'm so normal about T...

This scene is always in my mind

They make me sick get them out of my head NOW!

[offdensen]

'The Empath' Novelization by James Blish (1974)

[awwkie]

No thoughts, only Spock getting a drink for Kirk from the tray unprompted.

[cattewife]

thinking about,,, drunk sneezes

not only the possibility of sensitivity to wine/etc itself but just. the alcohol fuzziness meaning maybe they let a sneeze creep up on them without noticing, and the lack of inhibitions meaning they let it out without any shame they may usually have..... maybe even being more dramatic than usual, louder, bending at the waist, dazed after.... accepting care they may usually deny because they are drunk and happy and vulnerable

He's so caffeine dependent. I need him

[ticklepinions]

No more t*ckling scenes in media. PLEASE

Why is it the ones that circulate always sprinkled with an unhealthy amount of *weird*

Or is it just me because I'm hyperaware of seeing my own interest on the big screen

What happened to lighthearted pokes in the sides why is it so deeply non consensual or used in a way to make fun of it.

Like PLEASE be fucking normal about it!!!! Whether it's as a kink or not don't make it weird 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It's honestly kind of funny to me that catapulting into Kirk/Spock shipping has launched my usual "meh, not into jealousy as a metric of romantic love" shipping tendency out the window and instead I'm genuinely charmed by the extent to which they reflect the same unhealthy seething jealousy.

This is most obvious with Spock, but you'll get McCoy joking about Spock falling in love with a computer (not an android, a stationary computer) and McCoy being A Normal Guy Joking About His Friend Having a Hobby is immediately contrasted with Kirk's barely repressed jealousy (you can all but see him thinking "time to talk another computer to death" while McCoy just laughs at his own joke about it). Kirk gets more and more generally insecure until Spock publicly declares that, while he does like an efficient computer, Kirk is irreplaceable and he doesn't want to serve anyone or anything else, and Kirk looks like he's about to kiss him on the bridge.

(Kirk still talks the computer to death, btw, for plot reasons. But big "Edith Keeler must die" energy.)

I also enjoy Kirk's horror/outrage at Leila Kalomi and her obvious gloating over "taking" Spock from him in the docility sex pollen episode and Kirk's willingness to do or say anything to get Spock back vs Spock bleeding intensity throughout "Requiem for Methuselah" as Kirk falls in love with Rayna, then Spock numbly listening to McCoy's speech about how he can never understand the glories or agonies of romantic love triangles or passionate love before waiting for him to leave and then wiping Rayna from Kirk's mind. Just two bros who are totally normal about each other!

I bring silly gals! And by that, I mean that I wanted to draw my human lads with more feminine features <3

The drawings in order are: Hero, Cold, Opportunist, and Paranoid!

...also of course Hero is the only one who gets a colored reference, that's very on-brand for Everest at this point /lh

...also-also, Cold got long hair like that just because I wanted to give him Spectre's long hair. And so I did!

...also-also-also, Oppy reminds EG of their OC, who has very similar clothes style, similar hair, and starts their story quite Oppy-coded. I think someone is projecting their OCs onto voices again... eh, sure, why not!

soooo i embroidered a belgica shirt

(inspiration and process photos below the cut)

inspired by this poster! you might not believe me but there aren't just belgica embroidery patterns lying around the internet lol, so i had to make my own!! its the first embroidery pattern i designed myself lol (and it probably shows)

this is the pattern! i traced it onto some stabilizer with a water soluble marker and then got to work. i think in my next attempts i'm going to include some of the lettering from the og poster (probably voyage de la belgica, or just belgica, on the front. and i'm honestly debating embroidering de gerlache on the back like a jersey lmao). i also think i'll outline the satin stitches of the boat next time, just for a bit more clarity of shape/cleanliness of lines

i forgor to take a picture of the traced pattern with no stitches already in place, but here's an in progress photo

[uncanny-tranny]

For some reason last night, I felt like celebrating something and then I looked at my clock and it's my T-versary.

I thought about doing a "changes I've noticed" kind of post, but if I'm honest, the physical changes pail in comparison to the sheer contentment I feel. It's a feeling that no words are adequate, so words are not needed. I hope everyone feels this way - I certainly never thought I could, ever would. And yet, it is something I've had for years now.

gender rant in tags

[silversinfinity]

B/eastars is already such a horny show, and then they animate snz like THAT?

someone put their entire dick and balls into animating that spray, that's all I'm saying...

[lucky-numberme]

about goshdang time I made some proper fanart for @narcissistcookbook and their good tunes. this one's an homage to one of my favorite albums of all time 🔥 (Edit: Matt has since commissioned this piece from me and has the rights to sell it!)

[ID: A graphic design of a rib cage in front of a shining sun. A garden hose twists around the rib cage and lets out a stream of water and various objects that fill the bottom of the design. In between the waves of water the following objects are nestled: an alarm clock that reads 4:30, a can of diet cola, a dragon hissing smoke, a smartphone with an incoming call from Mx. TNC (with a wolf icon), and a raven carrying a note that reads "promise you'll leave." Mushrooms cling to the sides of the rib cage. Text reading "This is how we get better" frames the top and lays over the bottom of the design. End ID]

This is How We Get Better and all Narcissist Cookbook's other music is available at all the usual music places

Art by @ericslingbysexy finally in a frame ignore the propped up nature I'm about to paint this room.

“You’re such a pretty man,” Makino sighed, touching her fingertips to his cheek, before rubbing his beard with her thumb. “Your wife is very lucky. Oh—hey.” Her whole expression brightened, her smile entirely cheeky. “That’s me.”

Shanks grinned, delighted. “You are absolutely hammered, aren’t you?”

“Hmm, I think I’m about to be.” She frowned. “Wait—was that not a euphemism?”

My masked Zorro, the unbelievably generous and tantalisingly mysterious Cover Anon, sweeps in once more with another gorgeous cover from Shanties, this time for Penelope (aka, the wedding fic, my beloved), by the incredible @sacred_pirate on twitter.

I...don't know how it's possible to capture the way a fic exists in my mind so perfectly it's like the artist reached into my soul, and yet that's what this feels like. This is one of the most beautiful artworks I've ever seen, and I can't believe it's from my fic, and this fic.

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done
