Wait, so you are against ceasefire too? If Hamas was hiding behind Israeli Jewish civilians, would killing 1000s of Jewish children be fair too?

no, I’m not against a ceasefire. I’m against a ceasefire with no plan. you can’t only negotiate a ceasefire and then do nothing else because, as we’ve seen time and time again, hamas does not stop for ceasefires. they broke this one within 15 minutes and purposely delayed releasing hostages. there needs to be a plan in place to rid the region of hamas and all anyone is thinking of is ‘stopping Israel’, but the violence will simply continue without Israel because hamas is still there.

knock it off with the ridiculous language. ask your question about the ceasefire and move on.

if it's more Christian than right wing (and you havent revealed yourself to be otherwise) you mayyy gain some more traction by finding the basis for some of your socialism within The Beatitudes. just a suggestion!

It's equivalent parts Christian to Conservative. Generally speaking, I grind against them on both political and religious issues, but use their stance on whichever I'm not talking about to support what I am talking about, generally resulting in catch-22s for them.

hey I just recently discovered your treknatural edits and I wanted to say you are now my favourite person ever!!! but I gotta ask: for the group one, the one with charlie and kevin and all of them, which scene is the original? I just watched the movie and I know that scene I thought, but it looks so different?

haha, aww thank you! I enjoy making the treknatural edits a lot so I’m glad you like them! As for your question... I think you’re referring to this one, right?

The original scene is from Star Trek 2009. They’re all discussing what to do next or something and Spock walks in. The original screencap I used was this one I believe:

...and a whole lot of different screencaps from supernatural of course. To be honest I’m actually really proud of this one since I changed a lot of things apart from the uniform colors and the heads and it still looks decent imo.

For example, editing Sam was tricky since he had to be much taller than John Cho is in this shot.

Also, I had to dress Dean in a Star Fleet uniform. At first I only put his head on the black shirt and was about to call it a day, but then I was like: Nah, he needs the uniform or it just looks weird out of context. So I painstakingly edited the uniform on top of the black shirt Chris Pine is wearing.

I also really love Kevin in this for some reason, but his shirt is the wrong shade of blue which is unfortunate. It just didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.

Charlie was also kinda difficult and I still don’t like the way her uniform looks as well, but at that point I was just tired of this edit so I stopped tweaking and just posted it :’)

Sorry, I’m rambling again... but I hope this still answers your question?

you're afab right?

With the next Winter Olympics a new months away, are you feeling inspired to write more in the Outside Chance universe? You’re so close to the end of Katniss and Peeta’s story!

Not at the current moment, lol. Maybe as it gets closer. I honestly can't say, even though I am tantalizingly close to finishing at least the Katniss & Peeta branch of the story line. I mean, it's never easy to think winter when I live in a place where just yesterday we had to switch up our birthday plans for my kid because the ice skating rink was melting. Literally. They couldn't keep the ice frozen, it was too hot. So yeah...

^^^Picture of me attempting to get in the zone... not really since I actually don't own a snowboard. It would be far more comical with me like I dunno, borrowing my son's skateboard and wearing my snow boots I still have from when we lived in Albuquerque and would go hiking in the mountains in winter. Tie my feet to the skateboard with scarves? Would that work???

- Nope, Paper Trail ends there, since that’s where I intended it to end. Aaaand I do want to see more of Queen and Lancer interacting, as long as she keeps the All Ages Appropriate Battery Acid on a high shelf away from him! Their weirdness seems like it’d only get even weirder with each other. 

- Thanks very much! I’m pretty glad I just managed to finish everything before the new chapter came out, too! I’ve done RP in the past; I know the weirdness that comes when you want to write a character that’s canon accurate, but you suddenly get a bunch of new canon information. And the new stuff in the PDF is not influenced by chapter two, it’s still just relating to Paper Trail! Thank you very much again!

not trying to be mean or rude or tell you what to do, but since you are 24 why do you stay in an abusive household? aren’t you able to get a job somewhere and gain control of your own life?

it’s really no one’s business and i would strongly recommend you don’t ever ask someone in an abusive situation “well why don’t you just leave?” because 9/10 they literally can’t, and it’s placing blame on them for not ‘just leaving’ instead of their abuser for making it impossible to leave. it’s okay if you had good intentions, but don’t ask anyone this in the future. I’d encourage you to do some reading on abuse, the psychology, the tactics, etc. and you might find some answers.

Quick q. If you have alopecia why did you make it so Binna has it in dancer’s heart and not the mc?

Ah, an interesting question! I guess, logically, I could have made it so the main character / reader had Alopecia Areata. However, there are a couple of reasons I didn't.

This got long so I'm putting it beneath a cut.

The first reason is that it'd be way too close to home for me. My alopecia presented when I was very, very young (I never grew a full head of hair and probably never will) and I've always found it difficult to write about a main character with Alopecia because it's something I still find myself at war with mentally sometimes. I've come such a long way in 29 years, but I don't think there's a single Alopecian out there who doesn't have days where they're like "wow, this just sucks". It's personal. It's raw and the thoughts I've had would make anyone uncomfortable.

And that leads me to my second reason. I fear writing about an MC with Alopecia would be alienating to a reader. Would it help them see things from my (or other alopecian's) perspectives? Absolutely. Would that be beneficial? Probably. Would it also be uncomfortable? Yes. If I were to write about a main character with alopecia...I think I'd do it from a different perspective -- third person as opposed to first or second. It would just be a lot less jarring, I think.

I try my best to write my stories in a way that will relate to the most people. I choose my verbiage very carefully. And I just don't think I'd be able to do that if I wrote from an Alopecian's perspective, even though research has shown that there are millions of people in America alone who have it and even more worldwide.

The last reason, which just occurred to me because I've spoken about this with a friend of mine on here, is because I wanted to put myself in the position of a mother with a kid that has alopecia. I wanted to try to understand things from my mother's perspective. I wanted to explore that a bit for myself so I could, personally, heal from some of the things that happened in my childhood. I've never blamed her for the way she reacted, the things she said, or the heartbreak she endured over my hair. I've always sort of understood, but this has given me the chance to dig a little deeper into that understanding. It's been a really sobering experience, to say the least. And it's why this story has been such an emotional one for me.

That's not to mention it deals with being a single mother, which I don't have experience with, but breaks my heart for all the single mothers out there struggling right now.

I guess, if a need ever arose or if anyone ever asked me to, I'd write a story with an Alopecian MC, but I don't foresee myself writing one anytime soon. That's not to say we don't deserve representation in fic, that we don't deserve to feel like characters modeled after the groups we're fans of can love us (because they can). I just think it'd be hard for me, personally, to do that. I'm afraid I'd find it too triggering. But who knows? Maybe some day.

What’s your usual coffee order and what’s your “maybe something different this time” coffee order?

OOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE’S COFFEE ORDERSSSSS.

It depends where I am!

If I’m at home, I drink black coffee, most often a pour-over but sometimes I’ll get wild and do an aeropress if I want something a little smaller.

If I’m at Starbucks (which by the way, I worked for for 2.5 years or so before moving to an independent store), I’ll order a shaken espresso. Usually I get vanilla and whole milk in mine, but I really like the brown sugar oat milk one, and the one with toasted vanilla as well. My change it up drink here would probably be something warm. I am an absolute FREAK for the Chestnut Praline Latte at Christmas time, so we’ll go with that for my “maybe something different this time” because I’m otherwise a creature of habit.

If I’m at an independent store, it depends on if I’m staying or going, and how much I trust the store to serve their coffee well. Something like a pour over or a cappuccino is often my order, but if I trust the place, I’m ordering an espresso. Fuck, I just love a beautifully pulled espresso shot. I should stop in at my favorite local joint and order one this week.

Thanks for writing in!

This is completely fuled by the amber lounge on Friday. You have ∞€ and 1 day to get 6 drives fashion show ready. To which shops would you drag them? And which drivers would get a make over?

Anonymoose, this is an excellent question and I spent A LOT of time thinking about this. Partly because @renaultz and I have a shared agenda and would like to see teams do a proper haute couture sponsorship at some point. And also because Amber Lounge never ceases to cause 100000% damage every single year so I relish a chance to put that right.

Waffling aside I have picked my 6 drivers and not only where I would take them but what outfits I would want them to wear. My drivers: JEV, Alex Lynn, Naomi Schiff, Catie Munnings, Pascal Wehrlein and Sebastian Vettel.

I'm putting the rest of this under the cut because it's gonna have photos.

First up is JEV, so I wrote a little fic about him wearing haute couture and haven't stopped thinking about the outfit I put him in ever since. SO, I would take JEV to Dior and I would put him in the outfit I described in the fic. Which is THIS:

BUT in THIS colour:

Next up: Alex Lynn. So I think we can all agree that Alex is gorgeous and he usually wears great suits and just general great casual stuff (thank u Alex for having some taste and wearing it well). I would also take him to Dior, because I am obsessed with their spring/summer collection I can't lie. And I would put him in THIS outfit:

I would accessorise it differently but I think he could really make it work, like with this outfit and the one I would style JEV in they both have this brilliant blend of femininity and androgyny that I think would just work really well on both of them.

Naomi Schiff is up next, and she is alway so incredibly stylish and I would love to see her in a tailored suit of some kind (also thnx to Percy for giving me that brainworm). So I would take Naomi to Dolce & Gabbana and get her fitted for THIS suit:

I wouldn't put her in a white shirt though, I'd probably go for a darker neutral colour (just because I think the white shirt doesn't really pop with it) and then style her with some snazzy DMs OR heels - whichever she preferred.

On to Catie Munnings! I really can't decide which of these outfits I would put her in BUT I would take her to Zuhair Murad (I adore his work so much, especially his wedding dresses like holy shittttt) and would choose either of these outfits:

And for once I don't totally hate the whole feathers of it all, right now I think I'm more leaning towards the white one.

For Pascal I would wanna go kinda bold and funky, because he's quite a bold and funky guy and I don't think he's really afraid of wearing out there stuff if it's stylish. So I would take him to Elie Saab and put him in a variation of THIS outfit:

I don't LOVE the cape or shoulders but I do love the rest of it and I dunno I feel like Pascal would look groovy in this. PLUS we are going all out here fellas.

Lastly we have Sebastian Vettel, so as we all know Seb pretends he's not gorgeous and has questionable fashion choices at best and I literally just want to take him shopping and be like 'please don't be afraid to wear clothes that make you look good' (he seems to be doing something about his trouser situation at the moment though so thank u Seb). ANYWAY, I would want to take him to Dolce and Gabbana as well and I would go for something a little more lowkey in the out there scale (because I think he would probably run away if not). So I'm digging the idea of him in some variation of THIS:

Potentially not the same colour and probably without the waistcoat, and then I would probably go for a little bit of a colourful but classy shirt to spice it up a little bit.

ANYWAY, as you can see if I was an Amber Lounge stylist we would kill the brief every time AND I would also encourage and challenge them.

wait wait wait wait wait are you telling me there are MORE videos that look and sound exactly like dean winchester calling cas pet names??? PLEASE drop the link, i’m begging 🙏

Well, the two on my blog I made myself. If I recall correctly someone made a gifset about the times Dean calls Cas ‘buddy’ and replaced the subtitles on them with ‘baby‘ in the respective places. When I came across one of those scenes in my rewatch of the series I simply went and tried to edit it...

If anyone wants to give me pointers to when these other scenes where Dean calls Cas buddy are I could try and edit those, too.

edit: there is a third now

[myoldiaries]

how much percentage are you averaging out from the term 1 boards?

Being fairly optimistic but Ninety-Seven I think

[alexenglish]

so i take it dune is good??? lmao

YES I loved it!! the world building was literally incredible -- from an aesthetics pov, it's beautiful and breathtaking in its texture and scale and how deliberately constructed it all is -- but ALSO from the way they layered in the information for the viewer, there was no heavy handed exposition that is sometimes used in sci-fi and fantasy to get people on track. (also heard it's definitely not as in-depth as the books, which makes sense! but it's also such a skill to get the necessary info from book to screen without losing the texture of the world and my impression is they did that VERY WELL.) i liked the way they handled characters and character relationships. i was invested, i cared because EYE wanted to be, not just because i knew the movie wanted me to be (does that make sense!) and everything felt like it had a deeper complexity. i love sci-fi but my expectations are always pretty low because it's a lot of work to pull everything off convincingly, but i really loved the way it was all handled!!

i'm ALSO watching some press because i find zendaya and timothee charming together and watching some behind commentary. from a filming point of view, they did a lot of work with practical effects and filming locations to get the desired atmosphere and i think that always pays off, like you can tell the actors are IN IT when they're not just working in a green screen room. especially in sci-fi. they're in it! they believe it! GRR. it's so good!!

Hi Barbie🩵

I was wondering do you think there is a good celebrity out there?

I’m sure there’s a few but all I can think of are Keanu Reeves, Dolly Parton, and Brendan Frasier.

[rbcclndr]

Are you really a good decisions fairy?

in terms of everyday life and once you get to know me? absolutely not

but i’m a relatively better one than anna so i’m the good decisions fairy to her bad decisions fairy
