shoutout to this insane thing spirk do in the undiscovered country. who the FUCK stands this close to their platonic pals who canonically have super sensitive hearing

[voltaical-art]

only had time for one @d20zinejam this year, here's my piece for the Mirror Image Zine! 🎨🖼️🪞

The Dream Team guys re-imagined as Caravaggio's Incredulity of St. Thomas

[caffeled]

im officially done watching all of tos. did cry.

[thisisnotthenerd]

ok, i know i put a poll up and that relationship tracking won the poll for what came next on the stats series.

but consider this: relationship tracking takes so goddamn long. i had already started it by the time that i put the poll up, and as of now i'm still not done. granted the list is comprehensive: romantic, platonic, familial, and adversarial relationships, separated by pc-npc and pc-pc. for every season.

anyway, i started tracking character ages in the meantime while i build up the motivation to finish the relationship tracking.

without further ado:

d20 character ages

some of these are listed in the wiki. some of these are based on vibes and more vague indications from the seasons in question. all of them have some element of my commentary. if there isn't an age given i will explain why. it's in the seating chart because that compacts the format into an understandable block and not an infinitely long list.

to be clear, some of these are confirmed with actual numbers, but some aren't, and i'm listing them as unknown and offering my opinion in place of a confirmed number.

fantasy high freshman year: i am convinced that the ages the cast give are vibes based. as someone who did not fit the normal age range of high school, i can tell you that in the US, freshmen are typically 14-15, sophomores 15-16, juniors 16-17, and seniors 17-18. that's not to say that someone can't fall out of those ranges. i did. anyway:

fig faeth: ~15. this is a rough estimate--she'd be born just after fall cutoff for her year to start at 15.

gorgug thistlespring: 14-15. he was confirmed 14 at the start of the season, and presumably turns 15 at some point during the year.

adaine abernant: 14-15. this is based on the fact that she turns 16 before the events of sophomore year

fabian seacaster: 16. a bit older than your average freshman, but i knew people who were 16 freshman year, so it's not that weird.

kristen applebees: 15-16. again a bit older than your average freshman, but younger than fabian.

riz gukgak: 14. this was confirmed in episode 13 iirc. riz is the youngest of the party

escape from the bloodkeep: this party has some major age differences that are very unclear. no real confirmed ages.

maggie: unknown. she and zaul'nazh had been in a relationship for ~100 years, so she's probably got a good couple of centuries under her belt

leiland: unknown. similar deal to maggie--he spent centuries serving zaul'nazh. how many? who knows

efink murderdeath: unknown. she's a tolkienesque high elf. if we go full lotr comparison to arwen, she's over 2000 by the time she marries percival.

sokhbarr: unknown. again, we don't really get confirmation of an age for him--he's just kind of an ageless bog-lord.

lilith: old as time. she ate the stars. definitely the oldest of the party.

markus st. vincent: unknown. human, so he has a human lifespan. i'd pin him in his 30s. given that his closest comparison is probably faramir, who's 35 at the start of the war of the ring, i think 30s tracks.

the unsleeping city: here we have a mix of confirmed ages and some straight up vibes.

ricky matsui: late 20s early 30s. more specifically around 26-31. this is vibes-based. i based this on his career progression.

sofia lee: early-mid 30s. another vibes-based one. again based on career progression. she feels a little older than ricky and pete, but not by much. married to dale for 5 years, so if they got married when she was in her late 20s, this tracks.

kingston brown: 55. thank god a confirmed number.

misty moore: ~400. at least that's how long she's been on earth. this actually comes from tucii. i'd put her misty form in late 70s early 80s, and her rowan form in her mid 20s.

kugrash: ~60, based on his 30 years as a rat druid.

pete conlan: younger than 31. this is based on a reference ally makes in tucii to big business (1988), so i aged him back three years. i would guess mid-late 20s during tuc; he mentions not having seen his dad in 6 years. assuming pete fully transitioned during college/around college age, it would make sense for him to be around 25-28 during the first unsleeping city.

tiny heist: some of these characters just straight up don't age, so they don't really count when evaluating age.

rick diggins: unknown. he's a clicko man. he cannot age except in spirit.

boomer coleoptera: unknown. vaguely middle-aged, though that might just be clint mcelroy's general dad energy

agnes: elderly. no confirmed number, though she's old enough to have a grandma schtick, a reputation, and a terminal illness prognosis of 2 months

ti-83: a teen. and that's all we know. probably younger than bean.

bean: late teens early 20s. a vague range, but at least it's something.

car-go jones: another ageless toy. at least a decade in human years, if we estimate that max got him at a similar age that he gives him to dylan.

a crown of candy: finally some goddamn numbers.

liam wilhelmina: 17-18. he starts at 17 and turns 18 in ep 15 iirc.

theobald gumbar: ~50. this tracks for him assisting lazuli and being amethar's friend during the war

jet rocks: 18. and she never lived past 18.

saccharina frostwhip: 23-24. this tracks for her being born around the ravening war, before the rocks sisters were killed.

ruby rocks: 18. and she keeps living.

amethar rocks: 48. reasonable. he'd have been in his mid 20s during the ravening war.

lapin cadbury: old man. yes that is the actual entry. i'd say he's probably 10-15 years older than amethar to really be considered old.

cumulous rocks: late 30s early 40s. tracks for being created by lazuli while theo was starting his knighthood under her.

fantasy high sophomore year: i'm halfway convinced that the intrepid heroes just don't know how old high schoolers are. granted, they may be going for general teen, i.e. 13+1d6, so the more batshit stuff they do comes across as a little more normal. it's like having actors in their 20s play teens. except they're actually dnd characters. and they're in their 30s.

fig faeth: 16-17. another rough estimate for fig.

gorgug thistlespring: 17. a little funky, since he was 14 at the start of fhfy. the principle of 13+1d6 comes across here

adaine abernant: 16. her age range for the year is 15-16, which is normal for a high school sophomore.

fabian seacaster: 18. definitely stretching it a bit. the listed current age is 18-19, which i'm assuming is using boy's night as reference.

kristen applebees: 16-17, which tracks with her progression from freshman year

riz gukgak: 16. confirmed in ep 14 iirc. since he was 14 in feb of freshman year, and assuming spring break is ~april, he has a spring birthday.

pirates of leviathan: there's a pretty clear split of age groups in this season--the first to introduce adults in spyre.

sunny biscotto: 18. her first adventure as an independent person, even though it was technically her running away from home.

barbarella sarsaparilla gainglynn: 22. it tracks; she grew up isolated on leviathan and isn't super far into her career, though she has a pretty strong base

cheese stormcrank: 16. the youngest of the party, even though he's his family breadwinner. the left table is the young people in this party.

myrtle: 30. aabria calls her a 'dirty thirty'. so that may not be exact.

jack brakkow: late 50s equivalent. granted he's a ratkin, and middle age starts at 25 for them, with old landing at 40. so he may actually be younger, probably closer to myrtle's age if not a little older.

marcid the typhoon: unknown. he's never given a specific age. given that he's known myrtle for a long time, and at some point was nearly drowned in a shipwreck, i'm going to put him in his 30s as well.

the unsleeping city chapter ii: again, a mix of confirmed ages and vibes.

ricky matsui: early 30s. 29-34. this is just three years aged up from the first unsleeping city.

sofia lee: mid 30s. another age-up from

kingston brown: 58. thank god a confirmed number.

iga lisowski: 45. it feels like she kind of plays up the old lady schtick for her job, bc 45 isn't that old.

rowan berry: ~400. at least that's how long she's been on earth. rowan form in her mid 20s.

cody walsh: 26. this is a 26 year old hot topic manager with 12 swords and extreme mediocrity. truly a character designed to cause chaos.

pete conlan: younger than 34. again based on the reference ally makes in tucii to big business (1988). i'd put him at around 28-31. definitely around cody's age, a little older, but not much.

mice & murder: they are animals using variant human stats, so they're using human ages.

gangie green: 55. he definitely acts younger in certain circumstances.

buckster $ boyd: unknown. probably younger than gangie--late 40s perhaps? we know he's a gemini.

daisy d'umpstaire: almost 60. she's past her prime and wondering if she really wants to do this for the rest of her life

ian prescott: unknown. definitely middle aged, probably around buckster's age.

lars vandenchomp: 18, supposedly in dog years. also a cancer. i don't know how, given that they served in the schnauzer war and supposedly have a business degree.

sylvester cross: 55. another person past his prime, and wondering what's he's doing with the rest of his life.

misfits & magic: the first school season to actually have consistent ages, assuming they're entering as sixth years who were in their junior year in the us.

whitney jammer: 16. born around 2005.

k | dream: 17. born around 2004

sam black: 16. another 2005 baby

evan kelmp: 17. born around 2003. this tracks for him not having formal education-- a little old for the grade.

the seven: the first spyre school season to have the ages be consistent. the ladies know teenagerhood well.

the fact they lost a year or so in the palimpsests makes placing their grades a little fuzzier: we know sam, ostentatia, and zelda get taken during the school year. penny goes missing just before the start of the year, and antiope, katja, and danielle get taken beforehand.

antiope jones: 18. she lost a year in the palimpsest, so she's technically a super senior, making her a junior during fhfy.

katja cleaver: 18. another technical super senior, who was a junior during fhfy.

penny luckstone: 18. again, she lost her junior year during fhfy.

danielle barkstock: 16-17. i'd say 17, because that makes her a sophomore during fhfy--she'd have repeated the year to be a junior during the seven.

ostentatia wallace: 16-17. leaning toward 17 again, but younger than danielle. we don't get full confirmation of how old she is/what grade she's in during fhfy, but given the fact that she's established enough to host a party at her house during fhfy, i'd say she's a sophomore, and that's the year she repeats.

sam nightingale: 18. i'd say close to 19, because she's definitely in penelope's age group if not grade, and i'm pretty sure i recall penelope being a senior during fhfy. she may have been young for her grade initially, but came out on the other end after fhfy.

zelda donovan: 16-17. leaning towards 16 for zelda; she's a freshman with the bad kids during fhfy, and is the last maiden to be captured, at some point during the second semester. she could conceivably retake classes over the summer and catch up in order to be a sophomore the same year as the bad kids.

shriek week: this is a college season, so they're college aged. i don't have that much to say--we know exactly how old they are.

terry talbo: 22

megan mirror: 23

tuti iv: 21

seven: 22

a starstruck odyssey: there's a mix here--some vagueness, some numbers. in-universe their ages would be counted differently anyway, since they work off of 6-month cycles and not 12-month years.

gunnie miggles-rashbax: mid 30s. he's got two PhDs and a master's as well as a cyborg body and years of trying to pay off debt.

riva: unknown. it's reasonable to assume that they're on the younger side, given that they are on their galavant. i'd assume around early-mid 20s for their species.

norman takamori: unknown. based on the art and his general timeline, i'd say ~40s. maybe 50s.

skip | valdrinor: unknown. he's a cerebroslug who was presumably raised somewhere, tried to escape, ended up in space and then in a crate of powdered egg substitute.

margaret encino: 24. a savant who began working at 18. truly a girlboss on a quarter life crisis.

sundry sidney: n/a. she's an android--aging doesn't really apply to her. i think it's only been a year or so since the line was shut down, since it's been revamped as the warfare whitneys.

big barry syx: 38. this also carries over to barry nyne. we know barry bohunk created the barry battalion before anarchera 200 (current=220), but they were born as 25 year old beautiful big boys. in short, barry's age is a little questionable.

coffin run: another age split season, since half of the party is immortal.

aleksandr astrovsky: 41. young to be florina's zayde. also 15 sons? especially when he and marina had not been in contact for ~7 years? insane.

squing: old as time. younger than dracula, but only just. just a squishy headed vampire who eats letters.

wetzel: 26. has not even lived a majority of his lifetime and already wants to be a vampire.

may wong: 24. granted that's because she was turned at 24 so as to be eternally young and hot, so she's a bit older than that probably.

a court of fey and flowers: they are archfey that don't die. blooms are centuries apart. assume these age ranges are going to be like the bloodkeep ranges.

andhera: unknown. younger than most of the fae--he's the current heir to the unseelie, but has had many siblings who died previously in pursuit of the throne. most of the others knew them when they were younger; hob unhorsing him on the field of battle is only one example. so definitely like just of age for this prince.

k.p. hob: unknown. definitely older than andhera and likely binx, he's in the prime of his military career. getting closer to middle age, but still a relatively eligible bachelor, given that the goblin court sought to make a marriage alliance with lady sylmenar.

chirp featherfowl: unknown. i'd put her at the archfey equivalent of late 20s early 30s just based on vibes. she's still getting down at the bloom but has a 4 year old at home on the material plane.

squak airavis: unknown. i'd say slightly younger than chirp, but they've been cousins for so long that the difference is irrelevant. late 20s, getting down and breaking hearts at the bloom. considering marriage but shopping around.

delloso de la rue: unknown. rue is a little tricky--they were brought to the court of wonder as a child and presumably aged normally to that point, but they've been an archfey ever since. closer to hob's age than the lords of the wing.

binx choppley: unknown. the crisis of the court of craft happened relatively recently in fey terms and she was an adult by that point, though not truly the leader at the time. i'd say she's older than andhera, younger than the lords of the wing.

neverafter: some weird age splits in this party; kids, adults, inexplicable trickster spirits.

rosamund du prix: 18. technically 118, but that doesn't really matter.

timothy goose: unknown. he's old enough to have greying hair and an adult son--late 40s-early 50s maybe?

pinocchio: 12. this is based on both him and ylfa being 21 during the epilogue, so i'm assuming they're the same/a similar age.

puss in boots/pib: unknown. we meet him when he's on the older side for a cat, but also he's an eternally reincarnating trickster spirit, so that doesn't really matter.

gerard of greenleigh: 32. the other adult in the party, even though he doesn't have everything figured out.

ylfa snorgelsson: 12. this is confirmed in story, and she and pinocchio are the same age.

the ravening war: this season is a little weird because of the time skip and the fact that some ages are unconfirmed.

delissandro katzon: starts at 19, 21 after the first timeskip, 26 after the second. a young man.

raphaniel charlock: unknown. i'd say he starts in his late 60s and ends the season in his mid-70s. old enough to be deteriorating and have specific signs of age, but still spry enough to pull off a cunning action dash.

karna solara: 14 to start, 16 post-timeskip 1, 21 post-timeskip 2. rotting from a young age.

colin provolone: unknown. i'd place him in his late 20s to start, mid 30s by the end, based on his art and the start of cheese pattern baldness.

amangeaux epiceé du peche: unknown. mid 20s to start, early 30s by the end. she and her husband had been trying for heirs for a while--assuming she married young, she's not past her prime, but not having a kid in her position would be a little sus. also the fact that she must have had a relatively healthy uncomplicated pregnancy points to her still being pretty young to start.

dungeons & drag queens: a lot of variance here as well. mostly vibes-based.

troyánn: 242. she's got a combination of elf and immortal mermaid queen--this is reasonable.

princess foehammer: unknown. probably in her 20-30s.

gertrude: unknown. explicitly immortal--the only sign of age is her hair. she's been around for a while.

twyla: unknown. she's another fairy of unknown age.

mentopolis: some of these characters have stated ages. they are also concepts in a brain.

conrad schintz: 10. his growth has been stunted for years.

anastasia tension: 24. an up and coming journalist running form her rich family? say no more.

hunch curio: unknown. he's a concept in a brain. on vibes? 40s.

imelda pulse: unknown. i'd say she's probably around anastasia's age, given that they demonstrably grew up together.

dan fucks: unknown. another concept in a brain. 20-30s on the vibes alone.

the fix: unknown. concept in a brain. old enough to be a father and a contract killer is all i'll say.

burrow's end: this follows stoat aging--some of these are confirmed, some are guesses.

tula: 1-2 years old, leaning towards 2. old enough to have kids of a reasonable age, if the 1 year mark is adulthood (male stoats achieve sexual maturity at 10-11 months)

jaysohn: somewhere between 6 and 8 months old. growing up fast.

viola: 1-2 years old, same litter as tula. i looked up stoat reproduction against recommendation.

thorn vale: 1-2 years old. in the vague adult range with tula and viola.

ava: 4 years old. potentially could live for 15 more winters. unbelievable.

lila: somewhere between 6 and 8 months old. same litter as jaysohn, but is the elder of the two of them.

and that's all for this time! despite being this long, this is still going to be shorter than the relationship tracking. as always the spreadsheet is available for perusal.

spones - older fics recs

seeing that people are interested in older fics, let me link some more that are not on ao3 but on personal websites (sometimes the formatting is a bit... you’d better just copy it into some text editor in order to read it comfortably) and that were written prior to 2010, but mostly in early 2000s. It’s not all of them (of course), I’m just linking those I at some point in the past three years enjoyed and that are long-ish. They can be a bit dated and sometimes a bit weird. Most of them are mature to explicit. If you want more warnings, you can message me.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Ply's Disease (explicit-ish at the end) - it deals with a disease, obviously, so proceed with caution if it isn’t something you want to read. Mention of McCoy/OC(m)

The Prayer of St. Francis (E) - I haven’t actually read this one, but one day I want to. The summary is “the triumvirate as we know them”, but it’s spones flavoured. And it’s spones who are bonded. It spans the series up to Spock’s death.

The author’s page in case you wanna read other fics by them.

Nets in the Wind - mirror!spones, has Sybok, set after Spock kills Kirk, in case you mind. It’s a bit open ended.

The World Bewitched - mirror!spones, interesting world building imho

The Other One (E) - “After the encounter with the Mirror universe, both men have some problems they have to deal with.” (I actually don’t remember this one, but I have it saved... but don’t judge me if it’s weird; read the author’s notes) sequel Sugar Magnolia. These were written in 1998.

On Vulcan genomic engineering and love - this one though is a bit weird (proceed with an open mind), but the premise is quite interesting - McCoy becomes a half-Vulcan (I think this was actually the only fic I’ve read with that theme). “Spock has wanted for a long time to become fully Vulcan and finally devices a formula to allow him to manipulate his genetic structure to do just that. But in a freak accident, he injects McCoy with the formula, causing the Doctor to become half-Vulcan. Now with pon farr on Spock's heels, he must help the doctor learn to deal with his Vulcan half, while the two of them both try to live with their feelings for each other.” some hints at McCoy/Vulcan OC(m)

My Little Town - takes place after TUC, I’m personally very fond of this one for some reason. It has a completely different background for McCoy than what’s common. “McCoy’s mother just died, and McCoy goes to deal with the house. Spock tags along.” McCoy’s parents had a huge age gap, so if you’re bothered by it, maybe don’t read it.

stories by Tempest - Blackbird has trans!McCoy, Yon t'Ashaya - McCoy and Spock both serve on a Vulcan ship, Spock goes into pon farr [these two fics are what stuck with me after reading them three years ago, but the author has a lot more]

now you can also go through this list, but a lot of the links are broken, some can be accessed through wayback machine, some can’t.

and then you can also look through the Spiced Peaches list, which has fics from 2005 and up. Just in case you’ve never heard of the online spones zine.

---

also a bonus tos!mirror!mckirk because why not. It’s a wip, unfortunately, but it’s still worth it because it’s tos!mckirk~ And like most other mirror verse fics on this list, it isn’t as dark as what’s written these days. It’s actually pretty tame. It’s by the same author as The World Bewitched and Nets in the Wind above.

The Getting or the Having & Dust - “In the Mirror-Universe Kirk finds out that his counterpart has a sexual relationship with McCoy. This makes him thinking things over.”

STAR TREK MASTERPOST

hi my name is liz and i'm watching the entirety of star trek in release order, so this post was SIGH inevitable. i will edit with updates it as i make more

FANFIC

Gambler's Knife - AOS, Spirk, 22k. Twelve years after Tarsus IV and three months after dying to realign the warp core and save his ship, Jim Kirk seems to have a new lease on life: he's been resurrected, started pursuing a tentative new relationship with Spock, and has an entire five-year mission ahead of him. That is, until the attempted murder of an old friend forces him to divert the Enterprise away from her intended course and towards Planet Q. After a chance encounter on the planet's surface, new secrets about Jim's time on Tarsus IV come to light—secrets that threaten to destroy everyone he fought to protect, and the new life he's finally achieved. Some things you carry with you wherever you go.

SKIP/WATCH LIST

as i watch star trek, i am making an incredibly detailed spreadsheet which aims to guide new people into what to watch...or what not to watch. this list includes every single movie and tv series (including the animated ones), multiple watch orders (release order vs chronological order), runtimes, content warnings, and indicators on which characters feature in which episodes + indicators on which episodes are important for continuity. the only catch is i am updating it as i go, so it's a verrry slow work in progress. i've also still got a few blanks in the tos bit.

currently the only tumblr post with a link is this one, but i'll make a better post once i've finished going back and filling in the blanks on the tos section.

SPOCKANALIA DIGITIZATION

@maulthots and i are working on digitizing all 5 volumes of SPOCKANALIA - retyping text, cleaning up images, and adding alt text. they'll be added here as we complete them.

Volume 1

EPISODE REWRITES

sometimes star trek makes me crazy and i wanna fix it, but i don't have the time or patience to rewrite it in fic form so we get tumblr posts instead. they are in the order that i did them. right now there are only a few but i want to do like a thousand

happy sts my fellow writer

which oc would you like to meet the most irl? which one would you hate to? assume they know what you've put them through or not (or both) :]

writblr: @vsnotresponding

HAPPY STS!!

i think out off all my ocs the easiest to meet irl would be jack conan and markos (the undiscovered country), because their story is heavily based on the past few years of my life and they were also made to be people i could be friends with (i was Very Lonely when i started reworking their story).

outside of tuc ocs though, i'd love to meet the hitter, he's just a pleasant person in general (but only if he didn't know what i put him through) ooo or nobody and the hacker! they're fun :D.

outside of ocs i hate because they suck (negative), i'd probably hate to meet Snake Eyes, because he's quiet and surly and kinda hates interacting with most people and I think that would fuck with my social anxiety. if i catch it when it's doing a magic trick that'd be cool though!

[mxrymc]

O canto dos lábios se alargaram num sorriso com a voz familiar. "Existem…" concordou com um aceno preguiçoso de cabeça, "… e por isso temos os Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Doors, Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, Gil Scott Heron…" listou as bandas e músicos num tom jocoso, deixando um riso escapar-lhe ao fim. "Para cada engomado trouxa que ousou usar sua influência para oprimir, surgiu um artista diferente para plantar a semente da revolução." ofereceu-o uma piscadela. Mary conversava em música porque acreditava que, frente à injustiça, a arte detinha o poder de expressar o incomunicável; dizer o que não podia ser dito em monotonia. "Mas não se preocupe, não tentando provocar uma revolução durante uma viagem escolar. Acho que a professora McGonagall me estriparia viva…" encolheu os ombros e pendeu a cabeça para o lado, fitando-o com olhos astutos. "Porém, provocar a consciência alheia nunca é ruim. O máximo que irá acontecer é eles repensarem suas escolhas. As vezes as pessoas precisam ouvir seus pensamentos sendo externalizados por outros para criarem coragem de agir." retornou o cigarro à boca, acrescentando num sussurro: "É isso o que ele faz." 

Balançou a cabeça em negativo com o comentário seguinte, bufando em escárnio. "Não tenho raiva, Longbottom." apesar da atitude, as palavras saíram com afabilidade. Posicionou um pé para fora da cadeira, então, se deixou aterrissar com um suave tuc no chão; uma delicadeza antagônica à sua personalidade. Retornou, então, a encará-lo. "Tenho medo." Ninguém sabia melhor sobre conflitos políticos que Mary MacDonald. Irlandesa e nascida-trouxa, politicagens e confrontos a cercavam como se fosse um animal em cativeiro cuja realidade era seu habitat artificialmente construído — a única realidade que conhecia era aquela onde as pessoas que amavam estavam em perigo. Crescera próxima de Londonderry o suficiente para aquele domingo ser menos uma fotografia assustadora na primeira página do jornal e mais um 'nosso primo declan está no hospital'; perdera seus pais e experimentara da maldição cruciatus por não possuir um sangue puro. Medo a acompanhava há muitos anos, se não em seu próprio âmago, na expressão de seus pais quando se mudaram para a Inglaterra; quando seu irmão assinou os papéis da custódia e, depois, da venda da casa; quando seus amigos nascido-trouxas e mestiços a visitaram no St. Mungus, e perceberam poderem ser os próximos. "Aqueles na mira do canhão raramente têm raiva. Raiva é para quem está observando." tragou novamente o cigarro, calmamente, deixando o azedume cálido tomar conta de seus pulmões. Suas conversas sobre anarquia eram desprovidas de convicção: acreditava em reconstruir a estrutura, não se livrar dela. "Bruxos puro-sangue, mesmo quando não concordam com os ideais puristas fazem o quê?" indagou com uma sobrancelha arqueada, mas seu tom era ameno. "O purismo está integrado na estrutura dessa sociedade. Não basta apenas condenar aqueles que decidem agir. E os que ficam calados? Os que mantém suas tradições em suas linhagens tradicionais, uh? Não digo que não adianta prender alguns idiotas… mas não vai acabar com o problema: somente colocá-lo debaixo do tapete. E amanhã outro bruxo mais poderoso com os mesmos ideias vai surgir e as pessoas vão seguir da mesma maneira como fazem agora." Graças ao seu background, sabia as consequências que possuir boas intenções podiam gerar através de escolhas erradas; havia um ponto em que a revolução silenciosa, passiva, não era o suficiente. "A mudança não começa com um por favor, nem termina com um obrigada. E, a violência não é a resposta… mas minhas unhas deram uma boa lição da última vez." sorriu, balançando os dedos no ar. "De qualquer maneira, somente quero dizer que propaganda barata não muda que alguém poderia me matar neste instante e a única coisa que o aconteceria seria acabar em Azakaban. E, então, amanhã seria a vez de outro, e outro…" revirou os olhos.  

"Mas, Merlin, não vou gastar meu blend me estressando com política." riu baixinho, tragando o cigarro novamente. Soltou a fumaça devagar, contra o alto. "De qualquer maneira, só estava enchendo a paciência deles. Alguém precisa fazer algo divertido, não acha?" gentilmente, cutucou o outro com o cotovelo. Sabia que as repreensões e conselhos do garoto eram bem intencionados e partiam de seu bom coração; por isso, nunca o trataria com a mesma severidade e acidez que direcionara aos discentes naquela tarde. "Quer um? Também tenho de cravo e camomila se preferir algo mais leve." ofereceu, por fim aceitando uma varinha de alcaçuz. 

frank encontrava na própria rebeldia uma maneira de fuga à realidade em que viviam, no entanto, seu modo de se rebelar não envolviam de qualquer forma causar confusões ou causar confusões que envolvessem pessoas inocentes das verdadeiras intenções malignas do purismo. não caía nem por um instante nas palavras adoçadas e manipuladoras dos agentes do ministério, ressaltando as políticas positivas exercidas e efetuadas  ‘em favor do bem’,  porém, não via aquilo de forma ruim. talvez se eles mesmos acabassem se convencendo com aquelas mentiras mal contadas acabassem tirando algo bom disso.

mary era diferente dele nesse aspecto. escutara as questões que ela levantara, ouvindo em todas o teor malicioso de ridicularização daqueles que disfarçavam o ministério como um órgão justo, e entendia bem o porquê de ela fazer isso. também tinha a vontade de apontar as falhas no sistemas e sentiria isso mais ainda se fosse sua própria pele aquela afetadas pelos erros, no entanto, diferente dela, sentia a vontade de ele mesmo fazer a diferença por dentro, tal seu objetivo de ser auror. não conseguiria mudar totalmente o ministério, mas talvez conseguisse melhorá-lo um pouco se tentasse fazê-lo da maneira certa. ela, no entanto, parecia acreditar ser mais aquém dos pensamentos anarquistas que ela mesma citara.

observou ao que ela abriu a janela, sabendo bem que nenhuma daquelas janelas realmente daria abertura a um lugar que não fosse o interior do ministério, afinal, a política que julgavam imutável lá dentro era a de preservação do segredo do mundo bruxo. perguntava-se se isso mudaria um dia.  “engomados que têm poder de causar muitos problemas para muitas pessoas... imagino que no mundo trouxa também hajam aqueles que usam seu poder para oprimir aqueles que não agem conforme suas regras?”  perguntou, movendo-se em passadas calmas até onde a garota se encontrava e se recostando contra a parede próxima.  “entendo sua raiva, macdonald... mas ódio combatido com ódio apenas causa dor...”  mesmo que não fosse o melhor conselheiro, ainda era amigo dela e não sabia o que a pessoa errada poderia fazer com ela por ser desrespeitado. além disso, ainda havia a chance da zombaria e humilhação que ela propagava terem efeito negativo na opinião de bruxos antes indecisos sobre sua própria posição no conflito.  “varinha de alcaçuz?”  levantou o pacotinho com as varinhas, ofertando-as a ela.

[star-trek-dumb-comics]

Ranking every Star Trek movies (except Nemesis cause I haven’t watched it yet) bc I need an excuse to procrastinate school work :

12 : Insurrection

This is by far the most BORING star trek film. I literally dosed of at some point while watching it. It feels super cheap, and the plot is recycled from a mix of three tng episodes - only in the movie it doesn’t make any sense. Everyone seems to have forgotten there is a war going on ? Honestly this movie doesn't even deserve to be hated. Its just uninteresting as fuck and imo that’s the worst Star Trek gets.  (Also i learned that apparently at first we were supposed to get a Dominion war themed movie instead of this ? Bitch we were robbed !)

11 : Into Darkness

Unlike insurrection, this movie is not boring. But it makes me angry. I’d love to rant about everything that bothers me in this film but I don’t have time for it. Let’s just say it’s like JJ wiped his ass with a Wrath of Khan dvd, and also nothing makes sense again ? At the end they literally cured death and found a way to travel anywhere in the galaxy instantaneously. This is the highest grossing Trek movie of all time ? wild

10 : Generations

There is a nice TNG episode with a cool Data character arc stuck in there. Unfortunately this was advertised as “Picard and Kirk meet - the movie” and that part was the most underwhelming thing ever. And Do NOT let me get started on Kirk’s death. I’m just trying to pretend this movie doesn't exist and Undiscovered Country was the last we saw of him  

9 : The Final Frontier

What can I say about this movie that hasn’t been said. People like to say its the worst star trek movie and, while it’s true that it’s definitely not good, it’s also entertaining and rewatchable. A good chunk is “so bad its good”, and there are some cool character moments here and there. I was actually going to put it above the 2009 reboot movie but I remembered the uhura fan dance scene so.. no. (Also cursed anecdote : a few month ago I wanted to introduce ST to my brother so I made him watch the tos movies - and this one is now his favourite. Uh.)

8 : 2009 reboot movie

Idk, it’s hard to hate on this movie since it was my introduction to star trek. The soundtrack is also rad as fuck. But it doesnt hold up to being rewatched after watching tos. Everyone is ooc, except Mccoy who’s awesome but not in the movie that much (LOVE his introduction scene tho). I hate JJ’s constant rapid cuts, and the abuse of lens flares and dutch angles. Also Spock/Uhura ??why??????? This is a movie for the cool kids, and that’s not what star trek is !!! star trek is for losers who get bullied at school !! 

7 : Beyond

The best film of the reboot trilogy. This is an okey movie. Idk, its fun, and the characters are way more.. Well... In-character compared to the previous ones. There were spones moments too ! But the plot surrounding the villain -again- doesn't make any sense, and it still feels a bit to action-movie-y. 

6 : The Motion Picture

I like this movie. Yeah I know it has a lot of stupidly long shots, bit it’s still good. I like the plot (it was better exploited in the book adaptation tho). The refitted Entreprise exterior design just looks awesome. Hate the uniforms with a burning passion tho

5 : First Contact

I already talked about what I think of this movie here, so Ill make it bref. I really didn’t like the borg stuff, especially the queen. But everything around Cochrane and actual first contact was awesome. All in all this movie is great, but overrated

4 : Search For Spock

Very cool movie, but poorly paced. Very gay. Plenty of awesome moments like Bones/spock fusion, stealing the enterprise, the enterprise’s destruction (literally made my cry the first time I saw the movie)... Saavik recast was big brain, the actress was very good

3,2,1 : Voyage home, Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country

Okey I literally cannot choose between theses three. They’re all just so fucking classic. Infinite rewatchability. TUC is underrated tho ! I don’t often see it that high on people’s lists ! This movie is just the perfect conclusion to the tos era. I love everything about it, even bad CGI klingon purple blood

[miceeonvenus]

Every once and a while I think about a dsmp x the underland chronicles au which would be aimed at exactly 3 people. Me, my friend ST, and the only dsmp artist I’ve ever seen draw tuc fanart.

Saw your recent post regarding your mental health. Stay strong!! I believe you can get through this!

Anyway, here's a headcanon ask: do you have any headcanons about each PCs' mbti type/16 personality type? I'm mostly asking for fantasy high and TUC but you can add other characters too!

Thank you so much! Honestly I’ve been near tears for a few days now and all these nice asks coming into my inbox are making me feel so much better. It’s just nice to feel a little connected with people this way. I’m really grateful.

You know, I’ve never been a big mbti type person. I haven’t seen much of it since 2015 so I had to go search for a chart to answer this so take this with a grain of salt 😅 I decided to do just two series with the core cast (since you asked) and one with guests. Fantasy High (the most popular series), the Unsleeping City, and Escape from the Bloodkeep (the most slept on series).

ISTJ the Inspector - Riz, Iga “Anastasia”

ENFP the Champion - Fabian, Fig, Pete “the Plug” Conlan babeyyy, Sofia Bicicleta (Emily Axford is two for two so far), Misty Moore*/Rowan Berry

ENFJ the Teacher - Kristen, Efink, Maggie

INFJ the Counselor - Gorgug, Leiland/Kraz-Thun (my personal underrated fave)

INFP the Healer - Cody “Night Angel/whatever cool names you guys want” Walsh

ISTP the Craftsperson - Adaine, Kugrash

ISFP the Composer - Sokhbarr, Ricky Matsui

ISFJ the Protector - Lilith

ESFP the Performer - Markus St. Vincent, Mindy Moore*

ESTJ the Supervisor - Kingston Brown

*Misty was the one I went back and forth on the most. She seemed a bit more cynical and “it is what is” than Rowan who seemed to be more of a dreamer. But I may be wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks for this ask! It was really fun and a cool distraction to have this Monday. What do you think? Do you have different thoughts on any of these? I’d love to hear how your headcanons compare.

war guy & st. owens!

hi queen thank uuuuuu 🥰🥰🥰

War Guy: Which is your favorite battle?

okay I generally find it hard to care about combat in DnD but Times Squaremageddon was SO sexy like,,, the moving battleground, the mechanic to summon NPCs, the individual scenes between all the PCs and the reveal that Ally was listening the whole time, then their poetic Nat 20?? *chef’s kiss*

St. Owens: Switch the seasons two PCs appear on, how is each one changed?

I think switching Fig and Misty/Rowan as the bards of their respective parties would be super interesting.

TUC side, it would add more of the teen/young adult angst to the dream team which in cannon is p much just carried by Pete (I bet he and Fig would get along great), and I’d love to see an orphaned kid from New York realizing she’s had genetic connections to Nod the whole time. She’d probably be pulled in a bunch of directions bc Kug and Sofia would influence her to lean into her bitterness and stuff, while Kingston and Ricky would try to help her through some self improvement but not really empathizing with her as well at first.

Rowan makes more sense than Misty in Fantasy High, and she would have to deal with being a teen again while all her new friends are doing it for the first time. She’d probably be keeping her age shenanigans a secret from the other Bad Kids for a while which would be some fun tension, and the dynamic with her being more experienced than the other Teens™ would make many of the impulsive decisions (encouraged by Fig) turn out differently. I think she’d have a very entertaining rivalry with Fabian to be the most popular especially because of how confidently she carries herself compared to Fig in the beginning of FH
