christ, do i actually feel bad for wesley ?? what is going on

[vanvelding]

I'm going to say one of the nicest things I can about a show about Star Trek: Lower Decks

They played us like a string quartet.

(Spoilers for 4x09: "The Inner Fight")

Lower Decks was sold a Star Trek/Rick & Morty mashup from the start. The first scene is a drunken Mariner literally harming her sidekick, Boimler. It practically screamed, "Mariner & Boimler a hundred tours! Double-u, double-u, double-u dot Mariner and boimler dot com!"

But of course, it also had Star Trek references. One of the earliest is "Who would win in a fight? Khan or Roga Danar?" Why would anyone else in The Federation know or care who Roga Danar is? And there's no imagination on display for the oldest referential paradigm, "Who would win in a fight?" Lazy. Bullshit.

Of course before the end of season one, Lower Decks showed us it was more than that. Boimler was gaining the kind of experience he needed. The story hinted very strongly that Mariner had been in Starfleet a LONG time. She wasn't a omnicompotent mary sue; she was a Commander with her own philosophy/trauma that compelled her to remain an Ensign.

It was a good show and it stood on its own. The references were used well to create interesting stories ("Twovix"), as part of the setting ("Hear All, Trust Nothing"), or just as a gag here and there ("Kayshon, His Eyes Open" and, like a dozen others). The references to the setting become the background radiation, remarkable in how deep a cut they really are (Vendorians?). I've described it to many people as "Star Trek, but everyone has watched Star Trek."

What it wasn't, was related to its namesake. "Lower Decks" was a surprisingly heavy episode about the younger members of the Enterprise crew and their perspective on the missions of galactic import that the viewer usually enjoys an omnisicent view of.

Lower Decks mentions our main cast don't have that omniscient view, but Mariner is a stone-cold badass, Rutherford was part of a secret effort to develop artificial intelligence, Tendi is the Mistress of the Winter Constellations, and Boimler--actually Biomler is no more exceptional than any other Starfleet officer.

So when we get our main cast and the senior officers into a room and they mention Nick Locarno, our thought is, "LOL, another reference. This one from TNG. Not particularly deep. LOL, Boimler is a Beverly Crusher fanboy. I guess it makes sense, they have the character model from the episode with Tom Paris. Clearly, Robert Duncan McNeil is happy to do some voice work. We'll probably make a reference to how much he looks like Tom Paris.

"lol"

Look, if you figured it out then pat yourself on the back. Me? I filed away another reference. I didn't realize that Nick Locarno was connected to the episode of TNG that was this entire series' namesake. The characters even say, "Who?" which is one of the first times they don't get a Star Trek reference. Because Nick Locarno isn't a part of the Star Trek universe they view with an enthusiastic fandomness; it's part of their dramatic history, whether they know it or not.

"ha-ha, I guess Nick Locarno is too deep a cut for the show that called back to Morgan fucking Bateson."

But whatever, A-plot/B-plot. Gags about Starfleet habitually rolling up to seedy establishments in uniforms while looking for information, which is subverted by Captain Freeman being fucking genre savvy (also, wasn't she going to be promoted before getting arrested at the end of season two? I guess getting framed for a crime was deemed to be not very 'admiral-able'). Mariner ends up in a cave with a Klingon taking shelter from a crystal rain.

The pieces are there. Mariner was an ensign during The Dominion War. Two to three years before The Dominion War, Wesley Crusher left Starfleet, our Nick Locarno expy Tom Paris was recruited to Voyager, and Sito Jaxa was an ensign.

And Nick Locarno is in play.

We could have figured it out! We're in the narrative and emotional third act of this series (Tendi gave us the "We'll always be friends" speech last week)! Everyone regular just sat in a room trying to figure out how to help Mariner; we were one fruit salad analogy away from an intervention with Dr. Migleemoo!

Mariner escapes from Cardassian interrogation chambers for fun!

But Locarno is just another TNG reference, like Beverly Crusher. Background radiation. The season's story arc is something original to Lower Decks, which it's proven it's unafraid to do at this point. The series has no relation to "Lower Decks"

And then they fucking hit us with it; Beckett Mariner knew Sito Jaxa. They were friends. Then Jaxa died.

That's Mariner's trauma (that and The Dominion War).

And I didn't see it because I came to see Lower Decks as a series that stood on its own merits as a show while calling back to earlier Treks in a light, non-committal way. And I credit that solely to the writing of the show which leveraged both of those qualities to make an entertaining show that I like before, but now respect.

Just amazing stuff.

HI I JUST FINISHED TNG AND AM AUTISTIC I NEED TO TALK (warning long ass post, ramblings)

Q in his stupid fucking judge outfit???? Oh my god i love him so much?? And like?? I dont even think he wanted to put picard on trial at the end he says it was the continuums orders so did he even want to do that too him? Who knows!! We do know hes gay as shit though oh my god. I love him.

The past, the Encounter At Farpoint, picard yelling for Q on the bridge and everyone probably thinking hes insane. Picard not telling any of them whats going on, even though it doesnt affect the other timelines. Tasha Yar???? Hi Tasha!!!!!! Worf with his old sash, the old uniforms, the shitty dress deanna wore in the first episode (it slayed), data being. So autistic. Liek actually hold on can i talk about tha

This episode, with all its converging timelines, really shows how data grows- not just as a character just in general, as the years go by on the ship, he starts understanding idioms, somewhat. He. He gets more human. He really does. His movements more fluid, hes smarter. He really does grow, something about his neural net constantly evolving or something. Oh my god.

The shitty future?? Worf liking Deanna Romantically Cannon??? Riker was still holding on to the relationship this whole time?? (I never noticed really. Im. Autistic.) PICARD AND CRUSHER GOT MARRIED. And then divorced BUT STILL. Picard back on earth?? Tending to what i can only assume to be grape plants or something, like his brother. Data teaches at Cambridge. He has grey hair, thinks it makes him more distinguished. Geordi has eyes! Like in two different timelines he has eyes.

Thats another thing actually, like i could have sworn at least in the earlier seasons, he didnt want. Eyes? I thought?? But like. It seems like a minor Thing, cause it showed up in that one Riker Gets Kidnapped By A Child Alien Because Its Lonely episode. And again here, and probably other places i can't remember because ive consumed all of tng in 2 months.

The present. I dont have shit to say about that actually. It sure is season 7.

OH MY GOD THE BEGINNING OF THW EPISODE BEFORE Q REAVEALS HIMSELF?? How we dont know if he Is travelling through time or if hes Going Senile. The cuts?? I mean the cuts through the whole episode is so good the cinematography in general!!!! Oh my god. The close ups, the panning, THE ACTING?? TASHA YAR??? EARLY WORF? OLD WORF? I like worf. GEORDI? DATA???? love brett spiner.

And i mean who remembers the judge scene from the first episode at this point? The foreshadowing with the jury(?)/audience(?) i didnt even. Realize until they put Picard on the stand again.

DEANNA BEING FUCKING DEAD IN THE FUTURE HELLO?????????????

Oh my god but the end scene. The end shot of the poker game? Imagine seeing the future, all your friends, drifted apart, tense at each other with worf and riker. Seeing that. And then coming back to reality, to Your Time. And seeing your friends as they are right then. Why didnt picard join them for poker?

No like actually. Did. Did he have a reason for that? Some like, weird captain thing? Or like. Some weird barrier wall thing? Thing where he feels like he should isolate himself.

But the point is, he joins his friends for some poker, i dont think he had probably played poker in years. Its just. Amazing.

You know. I think this is one of the first times ive seen her again and not cried, which is progress because every other time it was. Not great.

But now that tngs over

Hey does tumblr have a word limit? We're about to find out.

But now that tngs over, theres still a lot i have to ask. Like why the fuck did they do that to wesley? Do we see wesley again? Is still dont know who b-4 is. Whats Ro doing now? Is she good? Do we see her again? Does she know kira? Do ro and kira meet? Probably not actually. Itd probably be cool though. Do worf and deanna get married? Please. I ne- oh wait no they cant bc worf has a thing with jadzia at some point. What the fuck is up with worf and jadzia? And also where is alexander now? When does worf join ds9? Probably season 3 idk. Or Barclay? Cheif o'brien? Cause the show ran concurrently for a bit. WHY DONR WORF AND DEANNA GET MARRIED THEYRE LIKE PERFECT???? What the fuck is that guy with the ears damar? Gamar? I think its damar? Idk. Why he look like that? IS RO GOING TO DIE??

Oh hey i get to meet sisko, hes cool. He gets like visions or some shit. Q doesnt like him i think "picard never hit me ):" "im not picard."

Q and Quark. Odo and Q. Do we get to see the cunty judge outfit again? Why does he have a mustache when hes boxing sisko or whatever?

OH I GET TO SEE FUCK ASS DUKAT THEOW DARTS AT HIM EVIL. Fun.

Okay yeah im done

I hope this came out okay!! Friends to lovers is just 🤌🤌 I couldn't resist writing it this way!!

38. Let me show you how a real man does it.

Joseph Quinn x reader

Content warning: 18+ content minors DNI, rpf (don't like don't read), jealous Joe, public sex (they do it in a private bathroom but yk), flatmate reader and Joe aren't in a relationship but there's ✨️feelings✨️, unprotected p in v, creampie, friends to lovers, the usual filth

Hoe-vember masterlist

You looked good, you know you looked good. You'd had eyes on you ever since you'd stepped out of the car with Joe and Wesley at the GQ event in London. Both Wesley and Joe looked impeccable in their black suits, and Joe had given you his card and told you to go shopping to find an outfit for tonight, and found an outfit you had indeed. Both of their jaws had dropped when you'd stepped out of your bedroom in the flat you shared with Joe.

The black dress hugged you in all the right places, the lace of the bodice sitting beautifully against your skin. It showed just enough cleavage to be sexy, but not too much, and all those squats you'd been doing in the gym certainly paid off, as your ass looked like a damn peach. Your hair and makeup were flawless, having gone for a sultry smoky eye and a dark red lip.

"Fucking hell, Y/N, haven't seen you look this good since our uni ball!" Wesley grins, and you flip him off, smiling. "Scrubs up well, doesn't she Joe?"

"Y-yeah, you look beautiful love," Joe looks you up and down, shooting you a sexy smirk and a wink once Wesley's back is turned. You roll your eyes playfully at him, checking him out once his back is also turned. It was no secret that you and Joe fancied each other, well to everyone else around you anyway. It drove your friendship group crazy whenever either one of you hooked up with someone else, because there'd be some serious tension, jealousy and moping on behalf of the one who wasn't getting laid.

You'd wept into your pillow when he'd bring random girls home and fuck them, making sure to stay in your room as late as possible the next morning so you didn't have to face them. He'd slammed doors and sulked around the flat when you would bring a guy home and fuck them. It was mutual pining at its finest. And now you'd decided you'd had enough. Either he was going to finally fuck you tonight, or you would do your best to move on.

So you'd gone all out, it was your first public event with Joe, so you wanted make a fucking good impression.

The two lads were sipping on whiskey in the kitchen as you slipped on your shoes and spritzed yourself with perfume (Joe's favourite perfume on you, he'd drunkenly confessed to you on a night out once and then gone on to say it was his favourite on others in an interview) and you feel his eyes on you. You look over, meeting his eyes as you dab perfume on your neck and wrists, smiling coyly.

Oh, you'd made a good impression alright.

When you had arrived at the event, Joe had offered you his hand to help you out of the car, before being swept away by his publicist and manager for interviews on the red carpet, leaving you and Wesley to mingle with the other commoners, as Wesley had so charmingly put it.

"Tonight going to be the night you finally shag him?" Wesley asks casually over the lip of his champagne glass he'd been handed as you'd both walked into the room to find your table.

"Depends if he finds someone else to shag." You shrug, absent mindedly checking name cards on the tables as you walked through them.

"Oh come on, Y/N, you know he's pining for you," Wesley rolls his eyes, pulling out your chair for you as you find your places, sadly not at Joe's table.

"That why he's balls deep in a random girl whenever he's home?"

"When was the last time he actually did that, mate? And I know for a fact he hasn't been shagging whilst he's been abroad."

You pause for a moment. It was actually a while since Joe had been home long enough to go out and pull. "And you have been remaining celibate as well, so Zara tells me."

"For fucks sake why is my sex life being blabbed about within our friendship group?!" You hiss and Wesley snickers.

"Because we all need you and Quinn to stop being idiots and get together, you're driving us insane!" Downing the rest of his drink, Wesley gestures to your now empty glass. "Refill? Our man of the year should be joining us soon."

"Yeah, sure, sure" you mumble, and off he disappears. You get your phone out of your bag, and are scrolling through Instagram when a voice asks.

"Is this seat taken?"

You look up at and are met with a vaguely familiar, young, handsome face. He's leaning on the chair, a smile gracing his lips.

"Um, no? Go right ahead." You smile back at him. He was cute, very cute and he shot you an award winning smile as he sat down.

"I'm Harry," he says, offering you his hand. You take it, shaking it.

"Y/N."

"Pretty name for a pretty girl," Harry says, making you roll your eyes and laugh.

"And how many times have you used that line?"

"Not as often as you'd think," he chuckles. "Why, is it working?"

You giggle, completely unashamed of your flirting with this total stranger. You don't even notice Wesley, now joined by Joe, coming back to the table with another drink for you as you and Harry are chatting away, you laughing at a joke he'd just made.

"Alright, Y/N?" Joe's mildly annoyed tone makes you turn around. Wesley is stood next to him, looking a little bit awkward. Joe's jaw is clenched as he looks at Harry sitting next to you, admittedly you had moved your chair a little closer to him

"Oh, hey! Joe, this is Harry, Harry this is-"

"Joe Quinn, right? Loved you in Stranger Things, mate."

"It's Joseph, actually." Joe replies with a bite to his voice, making Harry blink.

"Oh, er, sorry mate, I just thought cos she said it-um, right well I better head back to my table. It was nice meeting you." And with that he scampers off to his table somewhere else in the room. You sigh, looking up at Joe from your seat.

"Thanks, Joseph." You hiss at him. You slam down your glass on the table and grab your clutch bag. "I'm going to the loo, watch my drink."

"Nice one mate," you hear Wesley say sarcastically as you walk away.

You push through the crowds, navigating your way to the toilets, thankfully they were pretty well out of the way and not bloody cubicles. You let yourself into the vacant one, locking the door.

Jesus the bathroom was nicer than yours at home, you think as you touch up your powder and lipstick, giving your hair a bit of a scrunch to give it some more volume. A knock sounds at the door.

"Someone's in here!" You call out. Another knock. "Still in here!" Another, more forceful knock. You stamp over to the door, wrenching it open, ready to give the rude ass person on the other side absolute hell.

You were not expecting to be shoved back into the bathroom, and the door slammed shut behind said rude ass person.

And you were definitely not expecting the rude ass person to be Joe.

"Joe, what the fuck?!" You glare at him once more as he locks the door behind him.

"I could ask you the same thing." Joe says, quite calmly despite his chest heaving a little beneath his black suit. You give him a confused look. "Flirting with someone younger than you, really Y/N? I could hear your fucking giggles across the room."

"I wasn't flirting!" You definitely were. "He was just being nice!"

"So you push your tits together and up for every guy who's just being nice?" Joe scoffs. You echo him, rolling your eyes.

"Tell me you're jealous without telling me you're jealous, Joe." You challenge him, stepping forward. His eyes flick up and down you again, and you feel your skin warming under his gaze.

"Fine, I was jealous. I could see how he was fucking looking at you and I just wanted to deck him." Joe admits. "Been driving me crazy all fucking night, I can see everyone's eyes on you."

"And how exactly are they looking at me?" You goad, knowing you have him now. He grabs your hips and pulls you against him.

"Like they want to throw you down, rip this damn dress off and fuck you." His eyes are so dark they're almost black now as he backs you up against the sink. "Which is exactly what I wanted to do ever since I saw you tonight. Been wanting you for months, fucking years, Y/N, you drive me crazy."

"Then do it." You whisper, your mouth hovering inches apart. "Fuck me, Joe. I want you, always wanted you."

"Yeah, that why you're flirting with someone younger than you? Oh baby, let me show you how a real man does it."

You giggle as he lifts you onto the counter. "He was like 3 years younger than you, Joe."

"I bet I can still fuck you better." Joe grins and you grab his jacket, pulling him into a kiss. He moans softly as your lips meet. The first kiss is soft, and he pulls away. "You know I love you, yeah?"

"I know." You peck his lips. "I love you too. Now fuck me, man of the year." You reach down between you and palm at his cock through his trousers.

"Shit, shut up." He laughs, kissing you again, this time his tongue flicks along your lips asking for permission which you gladly grant him, moaning in appreciation as you taste whiskey, mint and a slight hint of smoke. A taste that is so Joe it makes your heart flutter. You continue to stroke his cock through his pants, squeezing occasionally. "Wanna bend you over, okay?"

"Fucking please." You nod eagerly, hopping off the counter and turning to face the mirror, sending him a smirk in your reflection. He pushes gently on your back, and you allow him to bend you over.

"Jesus, you look so good like this." Joe runs his hands over the curve of your hips and ass, before pulling your dress up. "Fucking hell, Y/N, no underwear?!"

"Didn't want a VPL, Quinn, would have ruined the look." You smirk over your shoulder, trying to conceal a moan as he slaps your ass. He raises an eyebrow at you in the mirror, a smirk on his face. "Shut up."

"Interesting." He says, undoing his trousers and shoving those and his black boxers down. "No time right now though."

You shudder as you feel him drag the hot head of his cock through your pussy lips, lubing himself up with your arousal. He leans over and kisses the shell of your ear. "This okay? Want me to get a condom?"

In response you push your ass back into him so his cock slips inside you, making him grunt out a breathy "fuck" that has you clenching around him. His cock slides into you with ease, the burning stretch of him filling you up had you moaning and clawing at the counter. "Fuck, Joe, so fucking big!"

He chuckles, gripping your hips as he starts to fuck into you, each bump of his cock head against your cervix sending tingles up and down your body.

"You feel so fucking good, babe" Joe sighs, locking eyes with you in the mirror. "Think you can cum for me? Wanna feel this perfect pussy cum on my cock."

"Joe..." You moan as he reaches round and strokes your clit, making your legs shake. "God, don't stop."

"Wasn't planning on it, love."

Joe's phone begins to ring in his jacket pocket and your eyes snap open, staring at him.

"Don't you dare." You warn him as he grabs it with his free hand.

"It's Wesley," he says, like that's a reasonable excuse for answering his phone in the middle of dicking you down. "Think you can be quiet?"

"Joe, don't you fucking-"

"Hey, mate," Joe grins as he answers the call, and you glare at him in the mirror. He doesn't stop moving his hips or his fingers though, and you can feel yourself getting close. "Nah, just stepped outside for a smoke with Y/N....yeah, she's fine-"

You purposefully clench your kegels on his cock, making him hiss and slam into you a bit harder. He shoots you a glare. "Yeah, mate, I'm alright just burned my finger on my cigarette....yeah we'll come find you in a min-minute....yeah bad signal....alright mate, bye." He hangs up, putting his phone down and thrusting into you quicker. "You little....you did that on purpose!"

"You answered your phone whilst fucking me!" You shot back. "Besides, I really didn't want Wes to hear me cum."

"Oh yeah, you're close aren't you? Can feel how much tighter you're getting, come on baby, let go for me." Joe coos, his cock hitting that spot over and over until the tension in your body snaps and you cum, long and loud for him, moaning his name and gushing over his cock. Joe shudders, his cock twitching inside you before shooting his load against your walls, his hips pumping weakly into you still. "Christ, Y/N, fuck...." He pulls out, admiring his cum dripping from you. You're still lying across the counter, panting as you catch his eye in the mirror. Ever the gentleman, he grabs some toilet paper and cleans you up, throwing it away and pulling your dress back down for you. "You good?"

"Pretty fucking good. You?" You say breathlessly, unable to stop smiling as you straighten up, turning to face him.

"Pretty much the same, although I'm kind of pissed we have to stay here instead of going home and doing more of that." He tucks a piece of hair behind your ear, his hand resting on your cheek. "I'm sorry I was a dick, Y/N."

"I would apologise for my behaviour too, but it just got me some of the best sex I've ever had, ever, so I'm sorry but...not really." You look up at him with a cheeky grin. He laughs, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.

"The best sex you've ever had ever, hm? I bet I can top that. Just wait until we get home."

[professional-termite]

What Star Trek headcannons do you have?

*cracks knuckles* tng headcanons infodumping time (i havent finished tng yet but i have projected very very hard onto several characters and also made everyone on this ship bisexual bc i can)

picard:

worlds grumpiest polyam gray aroace bi man

i think if he had a grape fanta he would simply Die. not in a good way. actually any soda i think i could kill this guy with a baja blast

hes absolutely not dating riker but like half the ship thinks he is. also theyve screwed like twice but platonically dw abt it

hes dating both dr crusher and q. because i say so

riker:

TRANS MAN RIKER SUPREMACY!!! RIKER IS SO TRANS BC I SAY SO ‼️‼️

hes polyam and also arospec. i think hed like the label aroallo but gray aromantic allo bisexual is more accurate

hes dating like Everyone. data, troi, dr crusher, worf, geordi. my mans is absolutely rolling in romantic/sexual partners

he takes time to take every single one of them on dates catered to them and is absurdly romantic whenever he gets the chance. think rose petals and chocolate and violins

he doesnt ENCOURAGE rumours that he and the captain are dating but he doesnt DISCOURAGE them either

geordi:

pathetic little bisexual man. puts him in the oven

hes dating riker (everyone is dating riker lmao) and in a borderline romantic qpr with data (he calls data his boyfriend but also likes to clarify its not quite Dating since data is aroace)

data and geordi have sherlock holmes rp date nights. this one isnt even a hc actually pretty sure they literally do this in canon

worf:

aroallo bi worf is real and true i would know i was the enterprise

he acts like he hates rikers stupid romantic bs whenever he takes worf on dates (usually they end up just going to a holodeck and duking it out homoerotically afterwards anyways) but then he lays awake at night thinking about riker like 😳

i think he likes drawing skulls. i have exactly 0 canon to back this up but i think he would enjoy drawing skulls

data (can you tell hes my favourite lmao):

spends literal hours researching romantic/sexual relationships so he can be a good partner to geordi and riker even tho he considers himself aroace. usually comes up with something stupidly cheesy (even worse than riker) for dates and they both absolutely adore him for it

polyam aroace bi, and also he/him agender. because i said so

data likes to bonk his head on his partners as a show of affection. its like a kiss on the cheek/forehead except youre getting BONKED by an android

one of my moots (data la forge maybe?) said something about data purring and like thats actually canon as stated before i would know i was the enterprise

also he likes to lay his head on geordis lap. because I Said So

he is included in Girls Nights. he and keiko and troi and dr crusher all get together and he listens to their gossip while they paint his nails and do his makeup

troi:

troi tops. 100%

shes in a relationship both dr crusher and riker, and also had a thing going with tasha yar before she died

i think she considers herself poly bi with a preference for men, but she usually ends up in lasting relationships with women

i feel like she and riker are more of a qpr/fwb situation rather than a romantic one. theyre besties who are also soulbound and also love each other and also fuck nasty sometimes

dr crusher:

pansexual. did you see the way she literally did not care about gender when her parasite lover became a woman?? this is a pansexual

she likes helping data get ready for dates n stuff. they hang out in her quarters and she does his hair and picks out outfits and gives him advice

wesley:

him and his gf from that one episode (robin i think her name was??) are t4t. i base this on my Divine Intuition

summons a large eagle to carry him off into the night

q:

i want to call this man every slur i know. horrid creature. kisses him on the forehead

has no connection to gender identity or sexuality. hes probably aspec but identifies only as queer bc Q

he and picard have fucked nasty at least once. theres no way they havent

[romeactivelycries]

Note: First post 😳😳😳 Sorry if this is bad yall i literally havent written for like 3 years and its proofread by me myself and I but inspired by Angel ep 2x9 angel goes undercover and you walking in on a meeting with demons

Pairing: Angel x Reader

Request: Nopee

Gender: Hopefully neutral 🤞 (lemme know if i fucked up)

Warnings: 18+, some biting and blood but nothing crazy just like vampires u know 🥴

———————————

A yawn broke your daze as you glance over at Wesley turning the page to some demon grimore, hand covering his mouth as he glances at Cordy filing her nails instead of the papers in front of her. This awful torture had lasted all morning and well into the afternoon, research and books and files and guess what? Even more research!!

Groaning you slam your book closed, folding your arms on top of it and laying your head down on them as you mumble out a string of profanities and grievances to no one in particular.

“Got anything?” Wesley grumbles closing his own book and pushing it aside in favor of his now cold cup of tea.

“Just a headache,” you whine. You guys were trying to find out what powers were being held inside an amulet the demon of the week was wearing. It had given him enough strength to take out you, Gunn, and Wesley, he probably would have killed you all if Cordy didn’t have a vision leading Angel to drive by and pick you up. So now he was out scouting for the demons while the research led to dead end after dead end.

“I think I might go for a walk, maybe get us coffee,” you headed towards the doors grabbing your pager off the charging dock and shrugging on your jacket.

“Oo yes! Coffee sounds perfect!” Cordelia perked up, looking at Wesley who nodded in agreement. “Two mochas please!”

You move to open the front door when everyone’s pagers go off, glancing down you all read the message from Angel. It’s a location and the name of the amulet you’ve been searching for information on.

“We can finally focus our research! This is great, Cordelia can you-“ Wesley glances over at you looking at the pager and then meeting your eyes, he instantly knew. “Y/n don’t-“

You smile, running out the front door before he got the chance to tell you not to rush in head first. You were tired of the research, it was time to meet up with Angel.

By the time you reached the location it was nightfall. There was a hidden door in the alley between a nightclub and a liquor store, a brick wall amongst the cobblestone one, and when you knocked three times it slid open. Almost too easy.

As you walked through the door slide closed behind you and various half-burned candles were illuminating the staircase you descended. Looking around the small room you see 5 demons sitting around a table, one by one looking up at you.

Perhaps you had made a slight mistake.

“Look what we have here boys,” One of them begins to say, you glance over at them and see the amulet hanging around their neck. At least you were at the right place?

The demons all move to lunge at you, but before they get the chance the one sitting closest to you stands, chair shrieking as it scraps across the floor.

“This one’s mine,” He’s at your side before you can even blink. Angel. You open your mouth to say something but his eyes warn you not to as his face contorts into its vampiric appearance and he smiles, making a big show for the audience behind you. “Scream for us now.”

You feel his teeth before you even register them pricking into your neck, body paralyzed in fear as Angel moans at the taste of your blood on his tongue. Your eyes fill with tears as your body goes cold, the demons behind you grinning as they cheer him on, yet you can’t hear a sound. It’s almost pleasant to feel it all slip away, as Angel holds you in his arms, withdrawing his teeth as he gently guides you to the floor.

“Stay here, pretend to be dead please.” His voice is a stark contrast to the one he was putting on before as he turns back the demons.

Everything after is a haze, you remember seeing him tear the amulet from the first guy and putting it on himself, before turning to slay the rest of the demons. You can feel his arms wrap around you as he pulls you against his chest, whispering apologies and sweet words as he carries you through the night back to the motel.

You wake up to a train passing by, the horn blaring you from the warm comfort of sleep into the cold of night. Your hand finds its way to your neck, gently gliding over the mark left by Angel’s teeth as your memories flood back to you. Sitting up, you quickly slid out of bed and down the hall, your hands gliding along the walls and wooden doors. You had to see him, see Angel.

213, 215, 217.

You twist the knob, finding the door unlocked as you open it. Angel is sitting in his chair in the corner, turning from looking at the window to you as you close the door behind you. You both go to speak at the same time, saying each other’s name, and he motions for you to go first.

“Angel, I-“ you don’t even know what to say. Thank you? It’s okay? I’m sorry?

“I know,” he moves from his spot by the window over to you, reaching for your hand and gently pulling you to sit with him on the foot of the bed.

His hand trails up to your neck, brushing his fingers along the marks, closing his eyes and leaning his head against yours.

“Do you wanna do it again,” your voice is soft and it snaps him out of his trance as he just looks at you mouth agape, eyes flitting between back and forth between yours. “I want you to, if you want to, but if you don’t I understand-“

His fangs cut you off as they sink into your neck again. That pleasurable pinch of teeth against skin as he laps at the blood that pools there. It’s more gentle this time, more angelic, he rubs soothing circles on your shoulder and pulls back after such a short taste.

“I’m sorry,” he begins, just the faintest whisper as his lips hover near yours. Cradling his face with your hand, your bring your thumb up to his lips swiping away the remains of your blood that stained the corners of his mouth.

It’s as if your on autopilot as he opens his mouth slightly to capture your thumb, his eyes never leaving yours as he sucks and swirls his tongue around it. When you pull your thumb free, there’s just a brief moment where the world stops turning. The air is still and you can both hear your heartbeat. Once. Twice.

His lips are on yours as it skips the next beat, hands tugging at your sides as he pulls you to straddle him. You gasp at the sudden movement letting him take control of the kiss, sliding his tongue into your mouth and moaning as you entangle with one another. You wrap your arms around his neck, holding onto him as his kisses trail down your cheek and neck, bruising a path leading to his bite.

You both know it can’t go further, that it’s already gone too far, but neither can let go as he pulls you in to another intoxicating kiss. You rock your hips against him, feeling his hard on pressing against your sweet spot as you continue to roll your hips and moan into his mouth. He responds with the same urgency, hands tugging at your waist as he grinds up into you, soft moans escaping from his lips.

“Angel,” your voice is a broken whimper as you continue to press into him, trying to get as close as you possibly can. You feel his body shake and writhe the way yours does as you desperately grind against one another. “Please.”

Your not even sure what you’re asking for, but he takes it as an invitation to bite down on your neck once more and he pulls you down against him, rutting up into you as he openly moans and whines against your neck, desperately sucking and biting at whatever he can find. Your hands find their way to the nape of his neck and tangle in his hair pulling his head back as you both see stars, lazily falling back onto the bed and panting against one another.

“You’re not gonna go all crazy town on me now right?” Although you’re mostly joking there’s a hint of concern lacing your words as you pull back gently to look Angel in the eyes.

“I guess since my dick stayed in my pants we’re good,” he pants out, smiling down at you before his face contorts into one of concern.

You sit up, hand pressed against his chest as he continues to stare at you, “What is it you’re scaring me.”

“I fear Cordy and Wesley might think the opposite.” He gestures to the small mirror on the desk across from his bed and you rush over to it, catching your reflection your eyes go wide at the state of your neck. It almost looks like a rabid dog attacked you the way it’s covered in bite marks and bruises, no amount of make up would be able to cover this up.

Turning back around to him you offer a small smile and bite at your lower lip trying to think of a solution before an idea pops into your head and your smile turns into a grin. “I hear turtle necks are in right now!”

clone high final episode spoilers below! (9 n 10)

holy fuck im so happy. even though im super annoyed how they keep throwing a bunch of really good ideas for relationships and plot in the trash- im just so happy with what we got. 

OK FIRST EPISODE 9??? THE ANIMATION WAS SO FUCKING GOOD AND I HAD TO PAUSE BECAUSE WHEN WESLEY WAS FLAILING IN THE SEA, IT WAS DAMN smooth and pleasant to watch, as morbid as it sounds lol. that whole scene with the comic-esque vibe was so so pleasing. 

and that whole episode was super like, sad but funny. i literally stood up and yelled when Mr. B was getting near the edge. like i probably woke up every single one of my neighbors in like.. a 50 mile radius it was that bad im so fucking annoying about this show. 

BUT THEN SCUDS SAVED HIM AND I WAS SO HAPPY, LIKE THEYRE LITERALLY AN OLD COUPLE, AND LITERALLY THEY’RE FATHERS TO THEIR CLONE KIDS AND THEYRE ALL SUCH A BIG HAPPY FAMILY AND AUGHHHH im gonna draw family stuff with them so bad. I WISH THESE EPISODES CAME OUT BEFORE FATHERS DAY IT WOULD’VE BEEN PERFECT. 

ok, episode 10 i have to take a deep breath with. i am VERY happy. and idk if it was because the bar was so low, or if it was because i was so anxious i was vomiting everywhere because i needed content so bad, but i am overjoyed. 

THE ABETOPH CONTENT WE GOT WAS SO GOOD. WE HAVE LIKE... 3 NEW CUTE PHOTOS OF THEM HANGING OUT, AND LIKE A BUNCH OF MOMENTS OF ABE CARRYING TOPHER ON HIS BACK. was it because he was being tophers lackey? fine, sure, whatever. BUT AFTER THAT WHEN JFK BROKE TOPHERS PHONE IT WAS OVER (im upset it wasnt developed on further because people who didnt watch it in real time like us will surely be fine. so fuck you.) 

Also, ABE AND JFKS FREINDSHIP HOLUYDBIUJEWNFJKNF oh my god not to be autistic but i was stimming so fucking hard WHEN THEY HUGGED, I WAS LIKE YES FINALLY. FINALLLLLYYY!!! theyre my sweet boys and THAT WHOLE FRIEND GROUP HAS ME IN TEARS. LIKE abe and Confucius are already bros, as we see them playing in the school yard, and JFK and Confucius are already bros from the sleepover episode, but NOW JFK AND ABE ARE BROS. FUCK. YEAH. oh and tophers there too. i like how they treat topher tbh. like hes just there until he says something out of pocket and they’re just like stfu. 

but with the girls friend group.. oof. i honestly loved them so much, especially with cleo, but NOW ITS FUCKED. and its not even joans fault tbh. like when i was watching the scene where frida dropped joan i was like “damn�� but then, JOAN MENTIONS HOW SHE HELPED EVERYONE BEFORE AND I WAS LIKE “DAYYYYYYUUMMMM UR RIGHT” so now im conflicted. But again like??? bruh i would choose cleo too tbh lmao.

Also, i’m glad clone college isn’t real. because jfk mentions about taking shelly to .. biology? which i think is a only 1st year class. and in the original clone high everyone is like “omg u hit puberty over summer” Which i feel is typically something thats potrayed in media AFTER middle school. but i could be wrong so, idk. just really glad they didn’t do the clone college bc i hate change. also theyre 16 lmao. OR MAYBE THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT... in the future when highschools done?? IDK. IDC.

anyway. im scared for joans friend group and i fucking love joan, and i am in love with abe, toph, jfk, and Confucius’s little bromances and augh. im so happy. and THE CLIFF HANGER WASN’T TERRIBLE ALSO, IN MY OPNINON. 

im just glad joanabe wasn’t endgame. i mean, i would be pretty happy because im a sucker for childhood friends to lovers but also NOOOOOO joan deserves better. so. yeah 10/10 

if you read this far, holy crap, im proud of you, and ily 

that is my review on the finale so i’ll be making so much content now that im not on the brink of collapsing everytime i think of clone high. like trust me im gonna try and stretch out this fixation for as long as i can. though im probably gonna draw a surplus of abe and jfk art bc they were my fav in 2020

[thegeminisage]

tng update time. last night we watched "datalore" together and this morning i caught "angel one" on my own

datalore: not terrible!! i felt really bad for data the entire time of course. kind of delighted to find out he is amnesiac-adjacent in this episode, at least as far as not knowing where he comes from or why. i've gotten used to thinking of him as friend-shaped but lore reminded me of just how creepy he actually does look because he was making the creepy faces

the planet and lab were cool though it was hilarious that one of the pieces was just an ass with the crotch faced away from us to protect data's modesty lol

i liked the bit about data having an off switch.it is ironically such a human vulnerability. we have those too! it's called head trauma.

ik what i said about picard not being a dick anymore but i noticed he IS still a dick sometimes and it's mostly to either wesley (valid) or data (may he DIE). i was glad data told him not to call lore "it" and that he APOLOGIZED. he should apologize to data more often

lore is literally just a data who is better at masking btw. like thats all it is. he thinks using contractions makes him allistic and he's like ha ha look at me i'm better than you meanwhile he has to use a little laser to remove his own facial tick and his special interest is murdering humans and good for him

one thing i HATED about this ep was once again wesley made a valid point and everyone told him to fuck off. meanwhile whenever hes fucking around they let him do whatever he wants. this is making me CRRRAZY. all this stuff about you would have listened to me if i was an adult!! i'll kill the little brat myself

however the episode was immediately rescued by the appearance of this meme:

which sent me immediately into screaming hysterics because i was NOT expecting to see it in its original format here. i quite literally had to pause the episode and explain this meme to catherine with tears running down my face

angel one: not as bad as the skip/watch lists led me to believe (i didnt have to play it on 2x speed for example) but still pretty fucking terrible. oh what if WOMEN were in charge wouldnt that be WEIRD AND SCARY? meanwhile the women are wearing what pretends to be "no makeup" in 1987 and theyre super fucking hot

i thought that blonde chick was rthe one from tos's backdoor pilot and even looked it up but no she just moves her face the same way

riker's slut outfit really was something. he was such a good sport about it that i thought it was kind of mean of deanna and tasha to laugh at him but considering how women are treated on this show they deserve to actually. tasha especially.

absolutely bonkers that he tried to turn the head woman down and she slept with him anyway. close encounters of the space babes riker version??? quite literally the man said i'm not an object to be seduced and then he got seduced. wild

anyway, the morals of this were all over the place. they cant remove these people bc theyre not bound by the prime directive but they literally are interfering with this planet's system of laws etc...also the fact that like everyone is arguing for gender equality when the genders are reversed is all well and good when they live in a utopian society where genders are equal but we live and star trek was made in the real world where the genders are NOT equal so it just comes out sounding like but what about the meeeeen?? i mean. what about them?? sorry.

i. HATED. the b-plot of this episode. everyone's like oh no i wonder how this virus spreads! and then they allow worf to stay on the bridge while he does those dad sneezes. maybe this episode should have been before the other to explain data's sudden hyperfixation on learning to sneeze lol. like ik all infectious disease media hits different post pandemic but jesus christ we had more sense than that even BEFORE the pandemic

tonight we do 11001001, and then i'm doing the next FOUR on my own...rough.

[residentdormouse]

For that fandom ask meme, how about either Stand brainwormies, GoT, or our beloved Buffy? oAo

Thank you for the Ask!

(Fandom Ask Game)

I'm going to do all three, try and stop me! (As I have to wait until I get to a computer to answer instead of my shitty phone keyboard) And tagging @joeysjaskier, since I already started in on this after your ask with the Stand.

The first character I first fell in love with:

Depends on if we're doing specifically 2020 Stand or all around. If you asked me for Stands overall, I would say Nick Andros, because I saw '94 first. But 2020 didn't have me hooked until I saw Glen.

Tyrion Lannister always had my heart right from the start. I still want 'Never Forget Who You Are' tattooed at some point, and that was an episode 1 quote.

Willow was my girl from the beginning. The original do I want to be her, or be with her, questioning.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 

If you told me before that I would be thinking about the Stand every day since I've seen the 2020 version for about two and a half years straight, I would have told you you were full of shit. That's all Glen Bateman's doing. Never anticipated this.

Jaime Lannister. I hated him at the start of it, and dammit if they didn't put him through the shit and make me care about him despite that. (And lets not talk about how pissed I am at his arc ending...)

Eh, it seems like a standard answer, but I didn't expect to like Spike either. But I think that was a surprise to a lot of people, show included, and grudgingly they went with it.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

I like all Stand characters, so its like picking the least liked of something you'd still choose over most other things, but I never connected with Larry. I should have, he has qualities that I should have connected with, but I just... didn't?

Similar to the Stand, I like most all characters from this, but have to pick, guess I'm going with.... *crickets sounds in my head*... fuck, I really don't have an answer coming to me.... Bran?

I don't really like Angel. They played the love interest, and I was always 'meh' at best. I even watched Angel too, but I'm going to give credit to Wesley and Fred there (any surprise since I'm using Amy Acker as my main OC faceclaim.)

The character I love that everyone else hates: 

I don't know if this counts, cause overall Lloyd is a very much loved character, but I think '20 Lloyd gets some shit because he is definitely different from the book/'94, but I love him still. Does that count?

Who's hated in this fandom? I'm honestly not sure if I differ from general public opinion....

Season 6 gets a lot of hate, but overall, I think its my favorite. I also have a soft spot for Jonathan.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Answering for all of them. I usually don't fall out of love for characters. More often than not (like I said with Jaime above), they tend to grow on me out of nowhere.

The character I would totally smooch: 

Glen Bateman

Tyrion Lannister

Willow Rosenberg

The character I’d want to be like: 

Can they all still be the same as the smoochies?

The character I’d slap: 

Randall Flagg. Please. Please let me do this thing. I want to do this thing. Please let me do the thing.

Cercei Lannister. God, this would be so satisfying...

Warren, although I would give this one up to slap Randall Flagg one more time.

A pairing that I love:

I approve of Stu/Fran time, and my mind has drifted to Flagg/Lloyd time as well.

Jaime/Brienne

Buffy/Spike

A pairing that I despise: 

Despise is such a strong word... I really don't disapprove of many ships period. I may not always seek them out, but eh...

More Than Our Scars - Part 13

In the days that follow, the news media is flooded by updates of the murder of local business man, James Wesley. James took care of the day-to-day running of Fisk's empire, legal & illegal. You don't know what bothers you more, that fact that Bill murdered someone or that fact that you're aren't as upset as you think you should be about Bill killing James.

James was a horrible sadistic son of a bitch. You suffered at his hands more times than you can count. The world is a better place without the likes of him in it. Your main concern is what's going to happen when Kingpin finds out Billy is responsible for the raid on his warehouse & James' death. To make things worse, the media is reporting that James' tortured & brutalized body was left in Kingpin territory. You're glued to the TV watching any updates they have on the case.

"Sweetheart, turn that shit off." Billy picks up the remote & clicks off the TV. Bill is dressed in a suit, getting ready to go out. "Watching that just upsets you."

"Where are you going? Shouldn't you stay in? It's too dangerous for you to be out."

Kisses your forehead, "I need to pick up something at Homeland. I don't want to leave it up to the couriers. Besides Fisk doesn't know it was me."

"But he's got everyone looking. I guarantee it! I don't think you realize the magnitude of what you did?? You practically dumped the fucking corpse in his backyard!"

Billy's eyes take on a hard glint & his voice gets so steely, you flinch, "I know EXACTLY what I did." You glare at each other. You're the first one to break the staring contest as you get up to go to the bedroom. Bill grabs your arm as you pass him by, "Babe, wait." You stop and wrap your arms around his waist. "I know you're worried."

"No, I'm terrified!"

"I told you I won't let him touch you."

Exasperated, "I'm worried about YOU, William, not ME!"

"Look, you know what? Get dressed, we'll pack a bag & get out of the city for a couple days. Return when things die down a bit."

You pull back to look up at him, "Really? You'd do that?"

Growling, "Would it make you happy?"  You smile up at him & nod. "Shit, hurry up before I change my mind," swatting you on the butt, as you hurry to the bedroom.

You quickly throw clothes for the both of you into a duffle bag. You don't know where you're going but as long as it puts distance between Wilson & Billy, you don't care. Bill joins you in the bedroom with his laptop case that he stuffs in the duffle you have sitting out, "You set? Did you pack warm?" You nod. "Let's go," taking the bag and grabbing your hand.

"Are you very mad at me?" He sighs & kisses your forehead. "I'm not mad at you. But I don't like that you're this upset."

"Of course I'm upset! I love you! I can't have anything bad happen to you." He shakes his head & squeezes your hand & leads you out. "Where are we going?"

"Out to Beacon." You look at him curiously. "I don't know why but that place is the first thing that popped into my head."

"Is it a memory? You've been there before?"

"I don't know. We'll find out, huh?"

********

Bill left you in the car while he goes inside to pick up the file from Agent Madani. You're in no mood to see Bill & his ex lover together. It only makes you feel a smidge better that he has no memory of her. Besides, you're enjoying staying in the car. Bill wasn't driving his usual SUV, he brought out his Rolls-Royce Wraith. Beacon is about an hour & a half outside Manhattan, he said since its a road trip we might as well be comfortable. You think it's an excuse to show off. Big boys & their toys. Whatever, the car is pure luxury! You're going to enjoy it while you can.

As you wait for Bill to return, you see Krista Dumont leave the Homeland Security building with a man from your past. You start feeling nauseous & breaking out in a sweat. The man she was with was someone Fisk sent you to. You try to remember what Fisk needed out of him but it was a while ago. You can't remember. And here he is with Dumont. What the fuck?! You fumble with your phone trying to get a picture of them. What was his name? Shit! What was his name?

You were so engrossed in trying to remember his name you didn't notice Bill until the car door opens & you let out a squeak that makes Bill laugh until he sees your face. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"We need to get out of here. NOW. It's not safe for you. Please, Bill." You click on your seatbelt. "Go. Now,"

Bill does what you ask & pulls out into traffic. "Ok, we're gone. Want to tell me what's going on?"

"Dr. Dumont was back there. She was leaving with a m...man that I...that was an aquaintance of Fisk's."

His head whips to you & you stare back, "What's his name?"

Shaking your head, "I...I don't  remember. Hawk? Fox? It was like an animal name? I don't know."

Billy rests his hand on your thigh, "Did they see you?"

"No, the windows were up. Your tint...they didn't see me. But I tried to get their picture. See?"  You give him your phone.

"Ah FUCK!" Billy quickly cuts across lanes of traffic to pull off to the side.

"Billy!?" Bracing  yourself again the dashboard.

He stops the car & starts scrolling through your pictures. He zooms in on the man. "This guy! You're positive you know him? No doubt in your mind." Embarrassed & near tears, you nod. "Wolf."

"Wolf. Yes. That's his name," nodding in recognition.

"Carson Wolf. Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security. Madani's boss." Bill spits it out like a curse.

Your jaw drops in shock. "Would she do that to you? You two...were you guys a...thing? He must be the one that told Fisk about the raid?"

"Son of a bitch!" Hitting the steering wheel.

"How does Dumont fit into all this? Why was she there? With him."

Bill starts the car & pulls back into traffic. He has a death grip on the steering wheel. He continues to drive out of the city. You thought he'd return to Anvil, but you aren't going to question him. He looks furious enough to kill. You don't want to make the situation worse with your questions.

It's a long silent drive to Beacon.

[pinkbelugacollective]

only in my old age does it hit how awful of a decision it was for angel to not only transplant the fang gang into a timeline where connor lives, but erase their memories too! it’s like the irreparable damage in season four was merely amplified. of COURSE angel doesn’t feel like his struggle’s getting him any closer to shanshu because he keeps not DEALING with this shit. he’s outchea changing timelines, wiping memories, rewinding days, etc. of COURSE he still harbors resentment against wesley bc the motherfucker’s repressed his feelings of both love and hatred towards him because how DARE one of his closest male friends try to STEAL his child and raise him on his own iNSTEAD OF WITH ANGEL HIMSELF???

and not to mention gunn/fred! they raised that boy for months! they played mom and dad while angel was hallucinating at the bottom of the ocean and wesley was enjoying his dark’ness with lilah AND tryna bring angel back to the surface, and lorne??? lorne clocked that boy’s crazy! angel, in his inability to deal with his grief and loss, stripped his team of their OWN ability to deal with their grief and loss. because THEY deserved to grieve too! wesley deserved to grieve his ousting from the group AND THE FACT THAT HIS PROPHECY FUCKING CAME TRUE. fred should have been able to grieve the crumbling of her relationship with gunn, her shame of not thinking she’s ‘champion’ enough, and the decisions she made in the throes of the literal apocalypse and the revelation that one of her key abusers was a trusted confidant. gunn should have been able to grieve the death of the son that was not his but the one he DID look after, and the relationship he ended after years of feeling helpless himself with no one caring for his needs and declining mental health.

connor was a bitch. his entire existence outside of when he was a baby was the bane of everyone’s existence, BUT HE WAS THEIR CHILD. THEY ALL TOOK TURNS RAISING HIM AND LOVING HIM. they should have been able to grieve not only his death but all the what-have-could-haves!

the tragedy of ats is that the writing was so fucking bad, it inadvertently made angel, the hero, the BIGGEST clown in the show by never allowing him to truly and honestly deal with his pain, and by extension, his team’s pain. the memory wipe was paint on rotting plaster. it wasn’t even half the fix-it angel thought it was, and all it did was diminish the suffering the fang gang had to go thru. it’s always angelus this, angelus this, wolfram and hart this wolfram and hart that, it’s never ANGEL, PLEASE DEAL. and it’s fucking tragic, because after eight seasons of content, he DID deserve to have some respite, to deal with his pain, and finally be put to rest instead of selfishly taking from his friends what only a god could do.

and angel was never a god, and yet he had access to god’s powers. instead of letting this man fucking DEAL with his shit with his friends’ support, joss instead flipped the story on its ass. deaths and unreconciled losses and relationships everywhere, until angel was left to what? fight eternally?

lmao the man never actually left hell, and his poor friends got dragged into it with him. this is why we never need a buffyverse reboot ever again. imagine giving one of the central characters from your original show a whole ass show of his own, and not even writing a conclusion for him. all these years and for what? so he could hurt lorne, watch the others die, and become the very bastard buffy called him out to be thru andrew? it’s grimdark shit from hell and i hope we never have to see a reboot or continuation of it bc IF we did, and angel was STILL doing his clown shit, then buffy WOULD be the one to send his ass to hell again bc all the story would have proved is that you can put a soul in a man, but you can’t make him like it. and how’s THAT for a metaphor? forget trying to atone for your fucking sins, cuz your ass is grass and goin straight back to hell regardless 🤦🏽‍♀️

angel im so sorry joss that dumb fuck did this to you. you were a whiny cunt, but you were loved, and i have every faith that you finally made it out of this hell 😭

[girlcockholmes]

sorry im gonna send you another ask cos im Obsessed with you. now do star trek. um specially ds9 but also tng pls and thank you also i love you . And you can answer for tos too if you want 😋

KICKS MY LITTLE FEETS IN THE AIR FOREVERRRRR 🤭🤭🙈🙈🙈 YAAYAYY MUTUAL OBSESSIONNNN ❣️❣️❣️❣️ILYYYY

Favorite character: tos is spock tng is data ds9 is quark HEEHEEEE 🤭🤭🤭

Second favorite character: tos is jim tng is UHM. IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE. BUT MY SWEET ANGEL WESLEY 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 OR MY SILLY ANGEL WORF 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 and ds9 i loveeee jadzia… 💙💙💙

Least favorite character: tos i dont dislike anyone on the crew so probably mudd bc even tho i really love his eps hes a good villain hes also a misogynist </3 tng is pulaski like SORRYYY to all the thinkpiece bitches out there saying its not feminist to hate her bc shes basically the same as bones its like. 1. okay so shes kind of badly written bc they just tried to rip off bones and 2. her thing with data isnt the same as his with spock bc spock was bitchy right back but data just didnt get it. so she was just being straight up cruel to him all the time and nobody defended him. YEAH SHE GOT ME HEATED. and ds9 i got distracted by so many other tv shows shes been on hiatus for a bit but kai winn booooo we hate your ass 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The character I’m most like: now. Uhm. literally fighting one million years with myself to determine kirk or spock and i never fully decided so we will leave it at they are two sides of the same coin and that coin is MEEEE ^_^. tng is hard to say bc i love them all but none of them ever grabbed me by the throat and shoved me into a mirror like so many other shows have done. i think either data geordi or picard (minus his leadership skills) would be the closest fit for me. and well as those who were here for biquark url know. 😏🤭

Favorite pairing: tos is obviously spirk 5ever and always like it changed the world. they are the fucking blueprint for everything they invented gay people. tng literally everything is so fun i think everyone has huge chemistry such interesting dynamics with each other. deanna and riker invented t4t bi4bi love but then geordi and data invented my lovely robot wife but then rikorf invented silly boy and autistic boy love and then qcard invented me and my wet crumpled paper bag weirdo boyfriend. HOW COULD I DECIDE… 💔💔 and ds9 quodo is everythang… i love you sillies ❤️

Least favorite pairing: this has less to do with tos and more the crimes of other trek series using tos characters but. spuhura i guess you had some moments but why did they do both your characters the disservice :(( and tos chapel and spock was so nice and hurting like i love her she crucified herself for the right to love a stoic alien (girl i get ittt) and snw fucking slaughtered her. literally feel sick thinking about how horribly they adapted her. evil and sick and twisted. anyways. tng i didnt love geordis weird hologirlfriend and also barclay stay your ass away from any woman on board. ds9 whaaaleeeee i dont really hate anything at the moment ^-^ i guess when i swing back around to it i may have more to say…. 🧐

Favorite moment: OHHHOHHHHOHHH. WELL. tos pretty much anything with spock he is my beautiful angel. but ill say the entirety of city on the edge of forever its so insanely good and has me vomiting up blood. oh also i love kevin riley when he goes crazy and is singing to the ship :•) tng oh god when data is on that planet with the little girl hes pen pals with. ingrained in my brain forever. but there are honestly so many moments i could name like i think they might be my favorite crew ever like i said the chemistry between each and every character is so fucking amazing. and also horny. i love you deanna and riker 🫶🏻 and ds9 frankly im obsessed with quark and the undercover girl ferengi bc hes so bisexual with her in drag well um. who said that

Rating out of 10: 10/10 fucking all around forever theyre my three beautiful weed smoking girlfriends. We Dont Have To Talk About The Movies.

[sallytwo]

I have 3 hours before my plane boards so here’s round 2 of sammy writing 18 paragraphs of the situation with my little Thing. Last time I was like 85% accurate in my predictions . You get proper puncaution for this.

Ok so now we know that Dear Wesley is still off being a traveler. I’m going to set aside the Jack 2 situation for now we will revisit it later but right now we don’t have nearly enough information to bring him into it. So what the biggest question right now is “did Wesley just cut everyone off and disappear off the face of the earth OR is everyone pretty well aware he’s off being a traveler” . Which is a split divide in beta canon so it’s a tossup when it comes to the show too. Let’s get into it.

The whole “wesley comes back every once in a while” thing (which is in like... one or two comics... mostly stuff that came out like Right After journeys end) is a mixed bag. Journeys end presents wesley leaving as like.. him going off to a study abroad or something it’s not treated with much weight. But it sort of undermines the situation and I don’t think just leaving starfleet and going on a little permanent vacation would fix .. like all that. Little Thing’s got Issuesssss.

Also I know Star Trek is terminally terrible at forgetting wesley but considering last season was an ENTIRE SEASON about time travel and fucking up the spacetime continuum and picard being like “ooohhhhh i dont know who could help with this”. If its not lazy writing then there’s gotta be a reason for purposefully not mentioning wesley. ESPECIALLY if they don’t mention him when it comes to Jack 2 . It could 100% be lazy writing I’m just acting on the assumption that maybe its not because that’s way more interesting.

Which leaves us with the “Wesley’s been gone since he left in journeys end and no one knows where the fuck he is” situation. Which is. Looks over the the side. Which is pretty prevalent in beta canon -_- And that makes the whole goodbye scene in journeys end really tragic!! Like Bev didn’t know he was going to just disappear like that and that’s the last time she saw him! #1 Reason I cant watch that scene without! The

The. -_- you cant ever really know thats the last time i’d see my brother ansel.. Moving Onnn. But wesley just being Gone makes a lot of sense continuity wise and sort of explains all these gaps where it makes logical sense to bring him up but no one does. It’s a sort of “no one really talks about him” vibe. I don’t really think wesley would choose to stay away that long but at least it gives significance to him leaving. Which is better than treating it super casually like you don’t just drop off the face of the universe because you’re normal. And ready to come visit every few months. Picard is literally a soap opera show so I wouldn’t be surprised if they went with this option.

Whichhhh leads into speculation for this season. Jack 2 coming forward as Bev’s son like. If they dont mention Wesley at all here I Will Kill Myself consider this my suicide note. So it’s the perfect place to put in a little “well beverly other son has uhhhhh been like... gone...” Just one line is all we need for confirmation.. Please god. It wouldn’t make sense for wesley to be around and somehow not know about his secret brother and be fine with bev just cutting herself off from the crew for 20 years and also not be aware at all of all the time travel shit going on last season.

Little sidenote. Everytime in the show that wes has been in danger bev just fucking shuts down (and vice versa we love the Normal Fucking Crusher Family) . Theres a comic run where she thinks he’s dead for like two weeks and just doesn’t mention it or deal with that at all. So if wes did just drop off the face of the earth. I dont think she would handle it well (or handle it at all!) . Because they’re the only family each other has which leads to this like emotionally distant codependency and if she lost her son. after everything else . I think she would fucking cut everyone off and find this new fucking Thing Jack 2 . I’m not aware enough of what the timeline is for the show but “no ones talked to her in 20 years” … like I would be interested in seeing how that lined up. Especially if no one’s seen wesley in 20 years 🤨 Or the more likely option where she just cut everyone off cuz of Jack II (boring, lame) and everyone collectively forgot about her first gay son! Which the show would absolutely do because the world hates dear wesley crusher. I’m not saying this is an accurate prediction I’m talking what would be NARRATIVELY INTERESTING for the goddamn crusher family!

I’m not going to speculate on like “ohhh who’s jack 2s father is he actually bevs son was he adopted” but if. Star Trek Picard writers looking you tearfully and soulfully in the eyes if we get Jack 2 and Wesley interactions... Literally all I want. Ideal dynamic with Jack being like “UGH I hate my stupid older brother who I never met but everyone compares me too because he tragically disappeared and everyones sad about him all the time and no one can mention him he ruined my life!” and Wes being like. Hi ... am I supposed to know who you are. haha. And just leading to the worst buddy comedy ever. Wes has been shownnnn that he’s good with kids and would be a good brother but I think if Jack’s a little cunt to him (likely) he would be a mean bitch back and it would be the most entertaining TV ever shown ever! Again now likely I KNOW. Brining wes back now after being gone that long with all the drama with bev and jack 2… like it would be so interesting man. Obligatory he doesn’t know why fleet foxes refernce cuz like

Option 2 is that we just have like one singular wesley appearance where he shows up and reveals he’s been gay married this whole time and has been having a well adjusted nice normal time for yearsss while the rest of the crew is fighting among themselves and freaking out and he just didn’t help out cuz he didn’t feel like it. and he’s a bit of a mean bitch and then leaves. Number one most unhelpful person in the universe.

ALSO FINAL MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: If wes could come back and have like. one menaingful interaction with bev. Cuz their relationship was neverrr given the time it should’ve been by tng and i’m like still so mad about it.literally just one scene the bar is on the fucking floor LISTEN TO MY MESSAGE.

Hola Frank, ¿cuál es tu película favorita?

Hmm, hard question. I've seen a lot of movies! A few that come to mind off the top of my head: Sunset Boulevard, Brazil, and The Truman Show. (I haven't watched any Kubrick or Tarkovsky.) If you want me to be more serious about this ask then I could talk at length about how I feel about these films in particular; if not, here are some others for your consideration:

Fight Club (A++ movie)

To Die For (Owen Wilson is great in it but Nicole Kidman is great too)

American Psycho (Very good, very creepy -- Patrick Bateman's voiceover narration is really well done, which surprised me because usually voiceover narrators annoy me)

Spider-Man 3 (Not as good as the other Spider-Man movies but Tom Holland was fantastic in it)

There Will Be Blood (Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano were phenomenal together)

Lost In Translation (This one gets brought up a lot so maybe its reputation precedes it but I thought it was pretty dull overall)

Pulp Fiction (Still good even though Tarantino has made worse things since this came out -- it just feels like he hasn't learned anything from his mistakes yet?)

Casablanca (Great acting and dialogue, romance with an edge, also I love Bogart)

Gone Girl (Really fucking weird but somehow still compelling? It probably should have been better than it ended up being)

Rosemary's Baby (Wow, Mia Farrow was hot back when she had hair!)

Into The Wild (Jon Krakauer is such a pretentious asshole but this book is nonetheless amazingly gripping)

Point Break (That scene where Johnny Utah takes down Bodhi in the gym is still one of the best action sequences ever)

Princess Bride (It will never stop being funny watching Wesley get hit by lightning while trying to kill Buttercup)

Magnolia (You know what? This film is kind of bad but there's something unironically charming about its ambition anyway)

Vertigo (Of course Hitchcock knows exactly what everyone else thinks about him)

Dead Man Walking (Sean Penn is underrated)

The Passion Of Joan Of Arc (Arguably the greatest silent movie ever created)

La Dolce Vita (One day I need to watch all of Federico Fellini's stuff)

Aside from those, Blue Velvet (David Lynch is generally overrated but some parts of this movie are really excellent), Groundhog Day (More Bill Murray, duh), Taxi Driver (Robert DeNiro is incredible), Amelie (Too twee), Citizen Kane (Good movie but why does it always get talked about like it invented everything?), Moonraker ("No Mr. Bond... we don't do that!" "Then who does?" "The French.")

Hey thats not too cool to use a saying from our GENERATION ha ha ha. But acting is for sure. I saw you on that sci fi nerd dhow whats ot called with yhe cute blinde girl and the kid ftom Rosanne. Ahh who knows what its called. Third rock from the sun? Nooo. Anyway you wetent bad. Stand by me is Stephen King so you got to work with that guys work. And you were a pretty iconic star trek character. They should use you in a new star trek movie. But youre not wesley crusher who floated flying the old enterprise somehow data with hin and all. Besides that guy would rather jump off a bridge than do anymore data movies. But no you play the Villain a deadly bad giy who wants to kill everyone and takes great joy in watching people suffer. You cant start by practising on anyone that calls that nerd hotline you run. But youre a serious actor whose been in some big things whether your mommy made you dance for a new pair of shows for her or not. Thats not an uncommon tale in that town. For any child actor or actress if their parents are fucked. Lets not get started or ill tell ya about my old lady. I never do that. Sometimes when im partying theres always that asshole who wants to tell me their life story. I slways have to direct them the fuck away from me. If you see im all fucked up doin bumps of coke off a key im interested in your fucking anything stories. You either do a bump buy some cocaine or fuck off. Or be cool and dont tell me ypur fuckn problems and i wont tell you mine. But anyhow i think you could still make a contribution to that franchise and ate a worthy enough actor to do it.

How did you get into acting? Was it something you've always wanted to do?

My mother forced me to become an actor when I was seven, and then refused to let me quit, even though I literally begged her to stop making me work. She used and exploited me to get things she wanted for herself.

I sincerely believed acting was something I wanted to do, because my mother manipulated and gaslighted me my entire childhood. I was completely brainwashed. By the time I was old enough to realize that not only was it not my idea, but that I didn't have to be an actor any more if I didn't want to, I was terrified I would be the huge failure my abusive father always made me believe I was, so I kept trying to be an actor well into my 30s.

In my 40s, I decided to retire from acting on-camera, and use what I'd learned over the years to work as a voice actor, audiobook narrator, and writer. I'm a New York Times bestselling author! And number on audiobook narrator!

I just turned 50 in July. I'm still doing the performing and entertaining work I'm pretty good at, but I'm only doing it on my terms. My favorite thing I'm doing right now is hosting The Ready Room, the official online destination for all things Star Trek universe.

I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. I'm truly thriving. I've been married for almost 24 years, I have two wonderful children and a daughter-in-law I love like my own. It's a really good life, but I'm not going to lie: I had to crawl through a LOT of shit to get here.
