Billy Bat: A Summary

[running-in-the-dark]

things are going well with the kitchen. my father-in-law was here to help again today, and this time I decided to stay in my room and let the two of them work on the kitchen on their own. it was just too annoying the last two times.

that was the right decision. my husband called me over a few times when they had questions and even that was almost too much. but anyway, I'm glad he helped (again), and we'll be done soon I think. that'll be nice. I'm really excited to organise all the cabinets!

I got a lot done in my room, too. one wall is almost entirely taken up by Billy shelves now, and there's a huge Kallax on the opposite wall (it's three stacked on top of each other actually so it's a 3x6 - it almost reaches the ceiling and there's also stuff on top of it). it's just about enough (I have too much stuff, I know). did a lot of organising; I think I've unpacked all my boxes now, unless I find more in the storage room - which is currently so full that I can't check :')

unfortunately I did too much yesterday (built two shelves for my room, and did a lot of sawing with a stupid tiny hand saw because it's the only one I have), so my arms and especially my hands hurt very very badly last night. the pain kept waking me up. then, it disappeared at some point during the day. I immediately forgot about it, and only remembered when it started hurting again even worse than before 😭 soo tonight is gonna suck.

The Space School AU

I am screeching over the Starfleet Academy news. This series has been in rumors since I was in university, I swear. Yesterday it was finally ordered for Discovery+. I am an utter nerd so pardon me while I celebrate by shaking my fandoms together like a champagne bottle and seeing what comes out.

Billy always wanted to go to the stars. After his parents divorced and his mom moved off planet she would send him holocards and vids from distant planets where she helped stabilize and revitalize federation planets effected by war and natural disasters. Whenever he needed to get away from Neil, Billy would drive up from San Diego just to park outside the Starfleet campus and pretend for a little bit that he was one of those cadets, on his way to discover the universe and the best that life had to offer. But eventually he always has to turn back around and head home to the cramped apartment he shares with his dad and his new wife. Billy has been preparing his whole life for the star fleet entrance exam with an eye on several science and engineering degrees, and the year he turns sixteen he takes the exam and passes on the first try.

He’s on the young side for a cadet, and he expects to be placed in a room with another protege type but he gets Steve instead, the infamous son of two celebrated Starfleet officers who is returning from a year of probation and spends all his time mooning over his ex-girlfriend and rescuing stray creatures. It’s obvious to Billy that Steve is only here because his father is an admiral, and worse - Steve knows it too. He knows he can fall asleep in class and forget his portion of the group assignment because the commanders will bend over backwards to make special accommodations for him. Everyone else knows that they have to receive at least an ‘ME’ (Meets Expectations) in all of their classes the first year or risk probation, and once you’re on probation the academy disciplinary council can decide to send you home whenever they feel like it. If Steve were anyone else, Billy knows he would have been expelled ages ago.

Billy’s double majoring as well as completing premedical studies and he somehow manages to get a BE in his command elective Diplomacy: Hostile Species. It’s so stupid because that class is basically a joke and the instructor has no sense of humor. Billy wouldn’t actually tell a hostile alien to eat his ass.

His track advisor offers to speak to the instructor for him about raising his term score with additional credits - the catch, his advisor is Dr. Harrington, Steve’s mother. And the assignment she has in mind is tutoring Steve. Billy has to make sure that Harrington receives an ME in all of his classes this term or risk academic probation - shameless blackmail! But Dr. Harrington seems to believe he can do it, and it’s not like Billy can complain to anyone. So Billy spends spring term up Steve’s ass, figuratively as he tries to cure his depression and glues him to chairs until he finishes his assignments. And then also, quite literally as they get closer and he figures out that Steve is just fucking lonely, and can be easily motivated with praise and touch.

 It’s like having a big bitchy cat who keeps coming home knocked up (their dormitory is filling up with one eyed cats and three legged dogs, and whatever that grey thing is with the fucking teeth) but it works. They work. They bitch, and they scrap, but they also laugh more and they’re able to say the real shit they can’t tell anyone else. They grow. They find their rhythm and they find themselves, realizing their value is not in what they achieve. Steve passes the term and shocks his father by switching from the command school to the Division of Arts & Sciences to study Sociology &  Zoology. He eventually learns from his new classmate Dustin that his sometimes cat eating pet alien (Doug) is called a demodog and hails from a hostile planet in a distant star system. No one knows how he ended up on earth but Steve dreams about one day helping return him to his family.

Billy gets his extra credit and eventually graduates with a boyfriend, a bunch of new pets, and for the first time, he doesn’t have to look up at the stars to find a reason to live. All he has to do is turn over in bed and all the stars are right there in Steve’s eyes.

Post school, Billy has years of field residency ahead of him and so does Steve and the chances that they’ll be placed on the same planet let alone in the same area is slim, but exceptions are made for married individuals or whatever the cultural equivalent of their species. They’re both committed to making the distance work and Billy could always call in a favor with Dr. Harrington (she loves him and would pull strings to get him stationed wherever he asked) but his thoughts keep straying back to the idea of marriage. He knows 20 is young to partner, but he can’t think of a more perfect life than exploring the final frontier with Steve by his side.

[dumbasswhatever]

kpop fandom is incredibly strange bc it views "stanning" a group as being more about the people in the group and not the music. which leads to an environment where it's totally normal to see people proclaiming themselves to be fans of a group that hasn't actually released music yet, and on the flip side of things, people in youtube comments of more established groups will regularly say that they aren't a fan of this group but they have listened to and loved literally every song by that group so they're thinking about "getting into them"

Oh now I remember why I don’t buy American hardbacks

Album Review: "The Boys/The Job" by Billy Mack Collector

"It's a beautiful journey, and you would count yourself lucky to hear him tell you about it." - Gimpleg reviews the upcoming Billy Mack Collector album!

Review by Gimpleg Billy Mack Collector is putting out their debut 7 track album after working on many of these songs for over a decade. The folk punk songs have changed and shifted and evolved over the years, and several of these songs are brand new, while others have been recorded, toyed with, evolved, and changed for years. Some would say that everything comes full circle if you look at it the…
