#I had a really awful day today#not really any good moments just a lot of hard ones#I did have a hard conversation with a roommate where she told me some things I needed to hear about my childhood#and some stuff that wasn't comfy to hear about myself but needed saying#but honestly i'm just so tired of being sick. I want to be better now and I keep waiting#this is so draining#I hope I feel better by tomorrow#alsike rambles in the tags

ST: SNW ramble and shipping update
I had seen clips and some pieces, but when I started shipping Christine/T'Pring (and reading Alsike’s / @nike-ravus fantastic fics), I had not properly watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
I have recently stated watching it and I am nearly through with both seasons.
And I really like it. In fact, this is the first Star Trek show that I've really enjoyed watching in a very long time.
I means it's not perfect and there were a few eps that I did not enjoy all that much, but overall, I am enjoying watching it. I still think they properly ruined the timelines and overall continuity across Star Trek shows, but if you take SNW as a standalone new Star Trek show, it really works and it captures the 'spirit' of Star Trek. And I think they managed to create a mostly episodic show that does have meaningful continuity across episodes.
And I like all the characters. Especially Christine and La'an
Result: In addition to Christine/T'Pring, I now also ship La'an/Una.
(Oh my, the AO3 ship tag is a mouthful: La'an Noonien-Singh/Number One | Una Chin-Riley and kind of a nightmare for search and tumblr tags)
Thus expect even more Star Trek femslash art and fic reblogs on my blog. And I will look for La'an/Una fics and if I find enough that I like (and IF I have time and energy) maybe I'l do a fic rec.
I already have a done a Christine/T'Pring fic rec, that you can find here, and also check out the wonderful fic Open to all biologically compatible aliens by queersintherain.
OT: Oh rats, I just found out that the one (1) F/F/M Christine/Spock/T'Pring fic I was into, will probably never be finished.

I'm stepping into new roles that let me learn a lot by doing#but also! I will Need Sleep and rest as much as I can get#and food. Gotta plan my meals out so I remember to eat nutritious meals#if you spare a though for me play pray for strength and resilience and bravery#the future is scary and so is presenting in front of strangers#anywho! goodnight#hope y'all have a good week by God's grace#alsike rambles in the tags

Summer Adventures #3
I ran out of normal drawing sketchbooks. I've been wanting to do warmup sketches, but won't be going out to craft stores for several days due to current plans. So no shiny-new, store-bought sketchbook for now.
... so, my solution was to learn bookbinding :D
#to be fair#I also was meaning to use up very old drawing paper from a paper block#and it's very difficult for me to use up drawing paper in block form#side note: the bookbinding process would be smoother with a paper cutter that cuts right angles#but other than cutting paper it's surprisingly achievable with sewing supplies#and ph neutral glue#and a ton of language textbooks as weights#alsike rambles#alsike rambles in the tags

Convention time!!!
I'm visiting my uni's convention for undergraduate research, and it's fascinating! So many smart people in their fields. Part of me wants to learn more about physics or organic chemistry for funsies, but I try not to listen for the moment. That is the side of me who has an insatiable hunger for knowledge, and likes to ignore the fact that time is finite and I have a human vessel that needs food and rest.
But, it makes me dream of other fields of research, and encourages me in my own.
I can make an impact in my field, just as these people are. And I want to! If I have a talent or skill that helps others, I definitely want to pursue what it would look like to put it to use. It seems like part of the beauty of life, really. To learn and discover new things, to work hard to determine the scope and depth of knowledge in the world.
#that being said of course this world is not the end all be all#it's not worth worshipping creation rather than the creator#but the creator made such a deep rich interesting world to explore! in all sorts of ways!!#alsike rambles#alsike rambles in the tags

Do y'all ever just.... have too many activities you love??
Like, I cant dance AND sew a shirt from scratch AND read fun books AND do grad research/reading (which is fun for me, idk if that's normal) all in the same day!
Sometimes, I wish I had six clones of myself to do all the things.
(The other option is to manage my time better or delay some things to a time where I can properly dedicate attention to each thing. But, don't wanna. Too many shiny things)
Alas, the vast quantities of human desires and the very limited scope of human ability.
#also the very human need for Sleep and Food and Sunlight and Other People and Rest#in other news I'm feeling better from my allergies/colds/other health issues!#this is a pattern when I return to health#I just start wanting to Do All The Things!#but hopefully with patience I can return to normal functions of life soon#and i'm relearning how to take care of my health as it is in the meantime.#alsike rambles in the tags#alsike rambles

why does daylight savings time exist
it feels like I got plunged into eternal night
#usually i'm so excited for the seasons to change! what happened#and to be fair I still love how the weather is changing#but I already miss the light T_T#...this does give me more ideas for the Tunnels and Caverns arc of my book though#don't mind me just being dramatic for a bit#bear with me. life is changing so fast rn#alsike rambles in the tags

I'm kinda bored
I'm bad at just resting :(
#context: it is Sunday and the typical things I do for fun (crafting and art and research for fun) are Not Restful#and I sometimes do some of them as work for commissions#so no sewing and art on Sunday? I guess?#I know it's not condemning if I also do them for fun but I wanted a break#and I reallyreally dislike doing nothing while watching movies#and the TV shows I tolerate are basically just background noise as I do my sewing/crochet/art/etc.#why am I like this#alsike rambles in the tags
