The Greatest Hero in Federation History.

Adjectiveless Star Trek annual 2024

[stump-not-found]

The kids talk shipping with their sci-fi uncle, Ford meets up with some old friends, and Stan discovers the effects of leaving something untreated.

Overall, Stanley just really, truly, does not like any of this.

October Fic Recs

Happy end of Fictober! I feel like I got to read a good amount this month, although by no means have I come close to scratching the surface of everything Tumblr's incredible creators made in October. Fortunately, that means I still have a lot of great stuff to read into November! Everything I did get to read is linked below the cut, so go check out those awesome fics and make sure to tell the creators how much you loved what you read!

Creature Comforts is one of the cutest things I've ever read in my life. I don't want to presume, but I think you headcanon Newt the same way I do, and that just made the fic even better for me. I actually laughed out loud at the line about wrinkles. 🤣 Theseus really does get those Klingon ridges when he's mad at Newt doesn't he? I was also going to ask if you were a Sherlock fan because of one of the lines, but I see you've written Sherlock fics too! I need to read those. I just have one question, was the puffskein name a coincidence? Because Redmayne actually has a daughter named Iris and I was like WHOA. Love this fic!

YES! I definitely see a lot of Sherlock and Mycroft in those Scamander boys. And not just the Cumberbatch/Gatiss version. And no the puffskein name was 100% on purpose nodding to his daughter. :)

KLINGON RIDGES! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I just laughed so hard and now I cannot unsee that. Angry Theseus brings glory to his House when he's angry now.

1. Transport between the ship and a starbase for a vet visit

2. In theory the transporter could put someone back together into any pattern saved in the computer so long as they had enough mass. It’s said at one point (I think) that transporters work on similar technology as replicators use.

A lot of ink has been spilled on the implications of this, but the writers never seem to wanna dig in too deep. Probably because the main purpose of the things in 99% of episodes is “explain how the crew got from the ship to the planet,” and it’s distracting for the audience to be pondering the Ship of Theseus every time that happens.

I'm fucking sobbing over this

First of all, what business did Spot have being anywhere near a transporter. Second of all, the transporter can do what?? "Yeah sorry about your cat. We sent her through the transgender operation transporter. Yeah.... sorry again." I'm in tears.

Ngl if I was a wizard I would go to a philosopher(or star trek fan) and teleport them like 2 feet from where they where so they have an existential crisis.

Part 32: A Cure For Autism

Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I sometimes have conversations with people who think they might be autistic, or who are waiting for an autism assessment. Sometimes they ask me about what autism is, or ask my advice about how to deal with what they are going through. Sometimes, they don’t want advice or comment; they just want to tell someone. But even the latter, when they finally…

The iconic crew of the U.S.S. Theseus, led by Benjamin Sisko, and the renegades who follow a desperate, violent Worf aboard the U.S.S. Defiant must unite for a common cause. Only together can they hope to stop the Day of Blood!” (IDW Publishing)

[f-imaginings]

I need more billford content from you! SO BADLY! I remember you mentioning that you’re working on some sequels. Can you give us like a sneak peek or do you have any writings you did of them? Or is there any fics that you read that you enjoy? It’s just you write them so well, it’s kinda hard to find other works similar to yours. Basically I’m STARVING

Hi lovely,

Your comment is so lovely I reread it a bunch before deciding to reply today with links and all the good stuff.

I have given the majority of the sequel sneak peaks I can afford to give yesterday, so we'll have to wait until KMKY is finished for more sequel goodness, I only caved yesterday bc it was my birthday and I love giving presents.

What I can do is link some old answers to various gravity falls writing prompts I've done before on my blog, and recommend some of my fanfics in other fandoms to tide you over.

I'm working as hard as I can to get the next chapter ready for you, so hopefully it will be ready after xmas or in early jan, and we literally have the roadside attraction chapter, Dipper and Mabel vs the Future and Weirdmageddon to go and then its the end of KMKY!

I'll be plotting and organising the timeline for ITBICD (It's The Best I Can Do or KMKY 2 electric boogaloo lmao) during this time too so hopefully I can launch straight into it after the final chapter of KMKY is posted!

So here are the links:

Shailesh and Jolene bounty hunter romance short

Fiddleford went home for thanksgiving, here's what Bill and Ford did

Down in the bunker Stanford sexperiments on Bill

Stanford psychoanalyses Bill with an old psychology textbook

For those who haven't read it yet, there was a uptilnow unpublished sex scene from KMKY that has recently gone up on AO3 here

Not from KMKY but an AU where Stanford becomes dependent on percepshrooms instead of Bill for his successes

A half baked Supernatural Billford AU bc I was a nerd haha

If you're keen to explore other fandom fics I've written, I have a murder mystery FMAB AU for folks who loved fullmetal alchemist that I'm pretty proud of.

For people who like the spooky side of Billford I have a half finished Magnus Archives AU fic too that sort of predicted the Jon in a computer part of The Magnus Protocol (I am cursed with the gift of prophecy)

For fanfic recommendations I haven't had the chance to read a lot of Billford fanfic since I tried not to read others fics while working on KMKY (there were a few notable exceptions, Theseus's Guide by @stump-not-found slaps (its fun, well paced and zany!) and I read Statement Abnegation (dark and gritty, not sure I was a fan of the ending since I like Ford to have more agency but for a dark fic it went places) since it was recommended to me. I also enjoyed A Postcard from New Mexico by roseverdict (an excellent concept and nice Stan brothers bonding) that I felt compelled to read)

If you don't mind other fandoms, I'll link my ao3 bookmarks of other stories I loved. There's a lot of batman, magnus archives, star trek, the locked tomb, miraculous ladybug, witcher, thor, rise of the guardians and homestuck (because we all had that phase, don't lie) and the list isn't very long, just some fics I like rereading there.

I hope this helps! I'm working hard on the next chapter so there will be more content for you soon, plus there's always a good reread as a backup option, and the wonders of maladaptive daydreaming haha!

If people want to add their own recommendations to this for fanfic recs please do in the reblogs!

Captain Data: “I am experiencing overwhelming stress.”

Idol ⭐️ Hands: note, I believe Data is modeling himself after Captain Sisko’s style of leadership here — as earlier, Sisko, laughed at Commander Data’s suggestion to consult Starfleet’s admirals before heading into a potentially fabric-of-reality-altering situation. As text is smaller below (a two-page spread), I’ve transcribed the dialog.

Acting Captain Data: Ensign Sato, broadcast Starfleet evacuation codes to all affected planets with my over-ride authorization.

Ensign Sato (the Andorian): Yes, sir.

Acting Captain Data: Additionally, broadcast the sub space frequencies of all nearby Starfleet vessels so they can be coordinated with directly.

Ensign Sato: Help is on the way!

Acting Captain Data: Lieutenant Descheeni, reassign all personnel from sciences and research to communications and telemetry. Transfer display protocols rather than physically relocating staff.

Lt. Descheeni: Clever, Captain.

Acting Captain Data: Simply necessary, Lieutenant. They will assist in efforts by Ensign Sato to coordinate evacuating in local language and custom as well as aid Ensign T’lr’s upcoming calculations.

Ensign T’lr (the Vulcan): Speaking of which, sir. I have a trajectory that might allow us to alter the course of the creature slightly by affecting their warp field stability, like a gentle nudge.

It will not change where they are going, but it should affect less inhabited systems.

Acting Captain Data: That is acceptable. Execute. And, Mr. Paris?

Lt. Paris: Don’t gotta tell me what to do, Captain. I’m the first human to ever achieve trans warp flight. I can handle the turbulence. The problem is going to be keeping up.

I can feel the engines, Commander. They’re not up to this.

Acting Captain Data: Mr. Scott, to address this, please activate the the Theseus’ classified propulsion system.

Chief Engineer Scott: I dinnae know what you’re talking ab—

Acting Captain Data: I looked over your design as soon as I was assigned, sir. It is incumbent on a first officer to know everything about his ship.

And while such a classified marker would no doubt deter most, my best friend is a decorated warp drive engineer. And so I was able to infer the use of the redacted capsules near each of the Theseus’ warp nacelles.

I was also able to infer that they were classified because they were, in fact, not yet working.

Chief Engineer Scott: Aye. Torres tried to get it working for months, but the containment frequencies never held.

Lt. Paris: Wait, B’elanna Torres? Like, my wife, B’elanna Torres? This was her little ‘side project’?

Chief Engineer Scott (on speaker): Aye, laddie. She said if you behaved, she’d let ye design the Bridge canopy.

Acting Captain Data: I have just relayed to you containment frequencies that I believe will solve the problem.

Chief Engineer Scott: It...it works. My God...

Acting Captain Data: No, Mr. Scott. Simply an android. Now, if you would be so kind, please take the vessel to transwarp.

Chief Engineer Scott: Way ahead of ye, Captain. But one little correction...like I always said, transwarp’s nothing but a dead end.

We call this little beauty...proto-warp!

Acting Captain Data: “I am experiencing pride.”

[sexhaver]

my first main gripe with the people responding to the Star Trek transporter question by invoking sleep as a similar interruption of conscioussnes is that that comparison kind of breaks down when you consider the case(s) where the copy is assembled at the destination before the original is destroyed, including the scenario where the original is never destroyed and is effectively cloned. because then you're forced into a bunch of awkward answers:

in the case where the teleporter malfunctions and clones you without killing the original, would you keep experiencing the world through both bodies at once, or would the version of you at the destination be an independent person with their own consciousness/soul/whatever term you want to use? i feel like making the argument that the clone is still an extension of you and "you" experience the world through both bodies simultaneously would be a hard sell to most people, especially with identical twins, like, existing

so if you accept that the version of you at the destination is an independent person when they're created before you're destroyed, why would that magically change if they were created simultaneously with or after your destruction? is there some non-corporeal component to human consciousness that would need to be "liberated" from your original body before it would even need to take up host in an identical body, like a hermit crab moved from one shell to another? this is really the root of the issue, and i have yet to hear a compelling answer to this that doesn't invoke religion or the concept of a "soul". which, to be clear, are fine arguments if you buy them, i don't want to start arguing about religion on top of this, but they do nothing for me personally

my second gripe with the sleep comparison is that, at the risk of stating the obvious, going to sleep does not physically destroy your brain and entire body by reducing them to atoms and scattering them to the four winds. yes, i'm aware that bodies cycle individual atoms in and out so on a long enough timescale you could argue that they naturally do get "destroyed", but that's just doing Ship of Theseus all over again. the teleporter thing would be like if Theseus destroyed the original ship entirely and then built a new one and claimed it was still the same ship
