what do u think of dirk n hals Gender Situation given 10 or 20 years? if they ever finally settle down their various identity issues etc

......... great question..

dirk's masculine gender identity is fucking fascinating and there's always something new to consider when i look at it at a different angle. and i mean this also goes for bro too. like gender is a very complex thing in homestuck with many metaphors physical or thematical littered about. Dirk specific gender identifiers are lil cal (empty), being seen as cherry red (either failing at those standards or admired for achieving them), and bro-ism which in this instance is often interchanged with heroism.

canonically in caliborn's masterpiece, after dirk seals caliborn away into cal, and lets cal and arq go, homie has straight up lost all the signifiers he's identified with and is left in his pink god tier outfit. literally forced to reckon with the fact that he is a gay man, and how that actually may be way better than the alternative that he was trying so desperately to be seen as. idk there was a series of posts i made about it a month or so ago. this is like, the final realization dirk has in the comic. i mean i dunno about specifics of labels, but gay and genderqueer is like the basic all encompassing ones. to be honest most homestuck characters fall under this extremely broad category, as queerness is a huge underlying theme.

a dirk that doesn't immediately go through caliborn's masterpiece learns this the loooong way. cis guy-> trans guy (refuses to acknowledge this during the session but slowly gets it towards the end of 3 year voyage. will NOT say he is trans through his lips though.) and then shit just stagnates there. i think it depends on his environment, but 5+ years (depends on who he surrounds himself with. if its no one, he is COOKED.) is about the time needed to have those same revelations.

and then there's hal........ arq is one of them brightly colored gendersonas. like what swimz said, arq sacrificed her continued existence for her friends. i dont think arquius ever gave her gender a name because of how thoroughly she embodied it by her self love/ the joy she felt for being alive. it was already said by her existing. hal getting a body vs hal getting a body after being arquius r people who understand vastly different amounts of things about themselves.

a hal sans arq brain meld has a silent kind of depressive acceptance about them. yeah i got a body, things feel better, but it feels like there could be more i could be doing for myself right now, however do i really need it? umm sandpaper floor room esque. trying to figure out what to do with herself after getting less than the bare minimum of being a person. would take a bit to realize she can be a girl.

hal post arq brain meld. holy FUCKING shit i can feel like that?? suddenly no longer arquius's confident persona and is kind of freaking out about the various implications. there would be an amount of time where she falls into a depression, however tries to bring herself up back to that point because a part of her who was arquius knows she deserves it. she would over think the gender thing though, ok yes im a girl, BUUUTTT -etc etc-. almost for the same exact reasons why dirk is attached to those bro-isms. she was supposed to. red girl struggle. again, idk the specifics, gay and genderqueer is hella broad.

i do think hal is fem aligned and more confidently can call herself a girl over time, and dirk can finally wear pink without thinking about it and wanting to decapitate himself.

If I’m on Voyager I’m programming the EMH so he has a comically large rainbow lollipop he can’t put down and a jaunty lil sailor hat atop his head.

Kind of want to do a lil voyager comics version of this 😍😍😍

The Killing Game (ST:Voyager season 4, episode 18-19)

[therealaves-blog1]

I want the void to hear my takes on Star Trek: Coda

Okay 2nd book time: The Ashes of Tomorrow by James Swallow (I am unfamiliar with his work). I enjoyed this one more than the first, despite some choices made here which bum me out. Still kind of feels like the Picard show ft. those other characters rn, kind of surprised how little Voyager’s crew have shown up tbh. Like we get a lil Paris and Torres this and Tuvok is hanging around on Titan but thats it. Like did everyone fuck off with Janeway into the galactic void? Comics ass issue with mixed continuity. Anyway.

We open with Sisko (wise choice) now captain of a galaxy class and responding to a time snake attack in cardassian space, he gets a vision in the middle of it and sees ruined bajor. He kills it with a time generator strapped to a torpedo (thanks Prophets). On Bajor, Kira sees her mother who shows her the same vision and disappears, the wormhole is being fucky and has been for a few weeks so she looks up in concern.

Picard and Co show up at Starfleet HQ to give the whole time war info, Riker has more nightmares and sides with the people saying ‘we deal with the time snakes because how the fuck do we deal with time war’ Picard is dissapointed as is everyone else. He talks to Riker and Riker has picked up the villain ball so hes like ‘you cant make this choice,’ before going off to have more weird dreams. 

Picard says fuck that and recruits a ton of people including Tom Paris who is supposed to be spying on him. They plot a heist and Geordie texts Data. Spock is meditating about reunification on Vulcan when he feels someone he mind melded with going through some shit and tries to figure out who it is. Pulawski (remember her? from TNG?) texts Bev some confidential files to help with Rene’s whole aging nightmare. Garak informs a semi comatose Bashir that Dax is dead which snaps him back to lucidity. Garak seems to be in charge of cardassia which isnt the worst option, but still not good. He smuggles him to Bajor to see Sisko (Sisko is heading to Bajor quietly)

Someone tries to steal the Enterprise from spacedock so Riker shuts it down (they apparently learned from Kirk lol). He boards the ships while being a lil paranoid and unstable and discovers Paris and Torres had stolen it and Picard and co escape in the Aventine. Riker is getting hot, meanwhile Spock figures out he’s getting brain touched by Worf who is being haunted by Time ghosts (of himself, from dead timelines), and decides to help him out. Alexander has joined with Worf and the renegades and is enjoying being with his terrible dad. You deserve better kid, which I guess he had because hes federation ambassador to Qo’Nos and had a hot Klingon lady wife who works with him. 

Data and Lal watch different species get got by the Devidians on some kind of turbo range sensors while hiding in the lab Soong built Data in. A ship comes out of orbit and Data’s like ‘what the what’ and Lal says she texted Geordie their address cause they’re too disconnected and need to do something. A time snake attacks the Klingon temple planet with the time crystals. Its wounded and so crashes into normal time, but splits into thousands of little snakes and attacks. Chancellor Martok, who was leading the defense of the planet climbs out of his busted Bird of Prey and charges the horde of snakes with his crew. Like Dax he dies off screen, tho with a much more appropriate end.

Data meets with Picard and Bowers (Dax’s XO now captain) and he manages to talk Data into helping. Lal is great shes very much on team ‘lets fight the wave of apocalypse.’ good kid. They detect a ship (The Titan) and Data reactivates his cloak. Worf gets hailed and Riker is being weird and references the shadows which makes Worf thinks hes having the same dreams. He opens fire and the Worf’s malaise gets the better of him and hes slow enough to respond that he takes some licks. Data interferes, launching drones from the moon that Tholian web the Titan so they can escape. Data explicitly says ‘I did it better than them lol’ They beam out and Riker is pissed, to the point of busting open the bubble in spite of the risk to the ship. Its too late they’ve already cheesed it. And hes pissed and calls Titan’s captain the wrong rank before going down to the holodeck and being confused about his history including how many kids he got. Wow, messy.

Will we get an answer for why hes being such a prick? Will it be satisfying? Altogether liking this part. There’s some references to some great machine ressurecting Data and Lal which I guess was a prior series. I will not be doing research on that. Sounds cool or whatever. Really enjoyed Tom and Belanna being lil shits to wacky Riker, feels like something they would do. Tuvok hasnt gotten too much to do other than be profiled by Riker at any moment anything goes wrong. Which is fucked up dog. Excited for when Cap Vale and Tuvok throw him in sickbay for acting crazy. More DS9 so far which is neat too. We love the Emissary, we love based terrorist Kira Nerys (even if she has taken the cloth).

Nice that they’re incoporating stuff from the new series (like the time crystals on klingon temple planet) ((assuming that wasnt already a thing and I forgot). Nice to throw in Spock to make it extra delineated from the main canon timeline. But also, lol lmao, of course Spock is going to get involved.

Posted this on insta but just realised I left my tumblr homies hanging…

[lilvoyagercomics]

Hey @arachnias-bride - I love this! Would you mind if I did this in a lil voyager comic style at some point??

Admiral Kathryn Janeway and Doctor Beverly Crusher ✨

I guess it's the perfect time to share this drawing! Prodigy brought me a lot of inspiration. 💙

[duxduxdux]

Have you watched/read other Star Trek media? If so do you have any thoughts on them you wanna share?

As of now (June 26, 2022)

I have seen the following series all the way through:

The Original Series

The Animated Series

The Next Generation

Deep Space Nine

Voyager

Enterprise

Strange New Worlds (as it airs)

I have also seen the first 10 films.

I’ve only seen the first of the AOS/kelvin films. Unfortunately I don’t remember a whole lot of it though.

I have only read two books in research for my old Academy 2341 comic: Starfleet Academy #6 (mystery of the missing crew), and #7 (Secret of the lizard people)

I’ve read lots of lil excerpt here and there from other things as well.

As for thoughts… I never have thoughts, my head is completely empty.

@cousinoyaya Oh you want a Corlys show? We really don’t give a fuck. Do you see anyone else’s name next to George’s on the book cover? Spoiler alert: if not, then there’s most likely no co-author. What’s comical is the hypocrisy of this reply. You’re galled, gooped, and seem to be perpetually gagging…on my dick. This is the second time you then came up in my replies being rude. Not one “I want…” was in my comment on the upcoming list of series. I rhetorically asked “Who tf wants a Corlys show”. So of course, your loser ass stepped forward to say “Well actCHually…🤓”. And because your brain cells seem to be in the midst of a never-ending civil war; I misspelled “actually” on purpose there. Everything else I wrote was speculation about what would be covered in the series, not me stating what I wanted.

Oh no! I’m entitled for saying they better have *checks notes*…good writers? Hmm. Ok. But that’s funny coming from you considering you liked a comment of me pointing out the idiocy of HOTD’s writers RIGHT before you typed up this steaming pile of bullshit. Is it Oochie Wally or is it One Mic? Im entitled, but you come on MY blog; a place designed for me to post MY opinions relating to MY interests, and had the nerve to reply to MY post telling me to stfu. Well no, b!ch, you stfu. And I can say that, cuz this is my blog and I rule here. You have no say here. That is, unless, you’re a co-owner of this blog? I was the only bitch running things the last time I checked, but mayhaps you know something I don’t? Me posting my opinions in a community I’m a part of. Entitled would be me emailing all my opinions on GRRM’s story, and what I think needs to be changed, to him. Who am I acting entitled towards? HBO? Showrunners and writers who don’t even know the series they’re supposed to be adapting?

But since you brought it up and there’s no time like the present; George has enlisted me as a co-author on TWoW and ADoS. Mmhmm. Yes, it’s true. I will also be writing on all forthcoming HBO adaptations of ASOIAF. Yup! Yup! Yup! The whore’s finally out of the pleasure garden. They saw how kunt my application was and immediately put me through.

*audience applauds*

Thank you! Thank you! And I know you, @cousinoyaya, as my BIGGEST and BRIGHTEST fan is so excited for me. And because I love you and my peers on here so much, I’m gonna give you guys a couple of teasers about what’s to come:

1. We’re redoing Game of Thrones and will be extensively exploring the nature of Theon and Jon’s romantic relationship. George and me went back n forth on this a lot. He wanted it to be a throuple with Robb if you can believe it!

2. For Nymeria’s show, we’ve come up with a new reason as to why Garin did what he did. You see, Garin The Great wasn’t really mad about the turtles. He was mad because he found out his Valyrian Dragonlord lover was fucking some messy bottom from Tyrosh. Nymeria tried to tell him that there were other spears in the armory but he really wasn’t tryna hear all that. Garin didn’t actually die. He was brought to Valyria and ended up marrying the guy. Lived happily ever after. What an asshole, amirite?

3. We will NOT be going forward with the 9 Voyages show. *Nobody moved*. Sorry, Oyaya. I know you were really looking forward to that. Instead we’re doing a show focusing on the Black Pearls of Braavos. I’m excited to announce that we’ve already casted Nicki Minaj as the OG Bellegere Otherys, Flo Milli as Bellenore - the OG Black Pearl, Doechii as Narha Otherys, and Lil Nas X as Balerion Otherys. We’ve also created two new characters for the main cast: twins who will be played by Doja Cat and Saweetie. They begin acting classes next month and we’re all just so exited over here at GRRM productions!

4. And finally, the project we’re all most excited for; a show based off of me pulling up to your location and whooping your ass. No funny shit, if you got a problem you can block or scroll. If you have an actual issue with an opinion I’ve put forward, present your counter-argument in a respectful manner and talk to me nice while you do so. I don’t go into people’s comments calling them out their name and telling them to STFU, and I expect the same courtesy to be extended to me. Keep it cute, cuz I’m the definitely the bitch to make it ugly. Have a blessed day.

The Conquest and Nymeria better have good fucking writers. Matter of fact: lemme submit an application. Who tf wants to watch a show about Corlys’ 9 voyages? Who asked for that? The Golden Empire of Yi Ti? Are they gonna give us the Blood Betrayal and show us how it continues to occur possibly all throughout history, but especially during the Targ dynasty?

Does the ship kitty in the latest Going to Weather update have a name? Do you have any history on ship cats like that fun lil buddy?

Her name is Scupper!

I tried to dig through my blog since I could’ve sworn I’ve reblogged like…masterposts about some notable ship’s cats but I couldn’t find anything. They existed tho! Here’s the wikipedia of some Famed Ships Cats across the maritime trades. Able seacat Simon is one of my favs. He received medals…

And since I must nod to whaling history, there were a few mentions of ships cats, but not very many that I’ve come across. Not because they didn’t exist, but that they were very much part of the expected landscape and thus not always mentioned. Sailors liked having cats around—they’re good for vermin control which every single whaleship absolutely contended with. In the Feb 9th 1864 issue of the Whaleman’s Shipping List, it ran a piece on why sailors wanted cats on board as well that sounds……..FAKE…..but I don’t feel like fact checking an 1860s article, so consider it a historical perspective in any case:

CATS AT SEA — Considering how much the cat abhors cold water, our readers must often have wondered why sea-faring men are so fond of taking the animal with them on a voyage. This is explained by two circumstances. Marine insurance does not cover damage done to cargo by the depredations of rats; but if the owner of the damaged goods can prove the ship was sent to sea unfurnished with a cat, he can recover damages from the shipmaster. Again, a ship found at sea with no living creature on board is considered a derelict and is forfeited to the Admiralty, the finders, or the Queen. It has often happened that, after a ship has been abandoned, some domestic animal—a dog, a canary-bird, or more frequently a cat, from its hatred to facing the waves—has saved the vessel from being condemned as a derelict

Cats were also considered good luck. In whaling journals I’ve read, the death of a ships’ cat was seen as a bad omen that would either plague the ship with ill luck, or, more specifically, would be responsible for violent storms kicking up (Scupper shall always be unharmed in this comic btw!).

This section of a painting of the whaler Ann Alexander shows some little creatures on board, a dog and a cat. I’m so sad I wasn’t able to find any photos of whalers with cats in the early 20th c. though!

[id in alt text]

They were also just good little companions. On the 1856 voyage on the whaleship Addison, whaling wife Mary Lawrence talked about her young daughter, also on board, being gifted a pet kitten from a captain of a French ship.

“Minnie brought home a dozen New Zealand apples, some fancy pictures, and a live kitty, which she has named Coda after her kitten she left at home.”

And of course…most important piece I’ve found about whalers’ cats that I’ve shared a few times before was in one of the final entries for an 1847 journal on the ship Ocmulgee. It was kept by a man named Joseph Dias, that for all his complaints about the work, was a career whaleman. He lamented the difficulty of the life and how it didn’t suit him, concluding with:

“And all that saved me was a cat. If it hadn’t been for her I don’t know how I should have come out.”
