#story: stella of stars

The animal inspirations for the important Stella of Stars demons!

I don’t talk about my love for Kira Nerys too often because. Look. I think if DS9 handles anything well, it’s Kira, hands down.

Her character development is a work of art. She is so traumatised, so angry, so beaten down and STILL FIGHTING at the start. She struggles so much with her PTSD, with the idea that she is ever allowed to be in anything but attack mode…

And then, slowly, gradually, she becomes a whole new person. She laughs, she smiles, she makes corny jokes, she does dumb fun things for the sake of enjoying herself. She has friends, she has a family, she is surrounded by love and joy and HOPE.

Even in the middle of second war, she’s DIFFERENT now. She’s not the same miserable angry person she was, afraid to let go of the vigilant surivival instincts that kept her alive for so long. She’s come back to life as a person who has something to live for.

She has done terrible things. Her hands are stained with blood. She is never going to be able to forget her trauma or the suffering, both her own and that of her people, nor the suffering she inflicted while fighting for her freedom. But she recovers. She heals. She carves out an existence where she is truly, genuinely happy to be alive.

I don’t need to talk about Kira as much as some other characters because this all happens on screen. It’s right there, and it’s beautiful and perfect.

Kira Nerys goes from a person who cannot conceive of herself outside of the horrors she has suffered, inflicted, and fought against, to someone for whom her trauma is just one part of the larger picture, a piece of a rich and vibrant tapestry that is now filled, overwhelmingly, with joy.

Kira Nerys is like, hands down, bar none, one of, if not THE best characters Star Trek has ever created. I love her so much. She is just, completely and utterly perfect, especially in her flaws.

“Down to bass” and “Unwholesome for children” made me wanna kick something into the stratosphere (positive connotations)

i made another mcsm animation meme, and it's a stella thing, and i finished at a very reasonable hour, and i definitely did not stay up 4 and a half hours to do so-

she do be soarin doe

[seastarblue]

I have another idea for an oc listen up:

So BASICALLY

there’s this immortal, right? And she was the patron of a specific city or smth

and she’s always listened to other immortals n stuff ya know? Like a “golden child”

BUT THEN

she befriends a mortal

tries to save said mortal from death (she never speaks out n also the other immortals are Jerks)

gets brutally beaten n banished from the immortal world

now she’s js There.

I have a species called starborn n I think this character would be one bc a) immortal and b) can get banished bc they live in the stars

I wanna give her a star-based name, rn I got Najma and Taariq!

an yea. :)

I HAD SCREWLLUM IN MY DREAM TODAY AAA🔥

i was on party with my friends and someone else l, and my friend Blooky went to sleep and i went to play hsr. AND THERE WAS A BOSS-LIKE FIGHT WITH SCREWLLUM!!

first he was shooting me with some flying turrets, there were some words he said along the way but i remember only his beautiful jp voice💔

then he took off his coat and hat and they became big idk why and he hanged it on two turrets and he then rolled up his sleeves and i saw his hands and hands and aaah🔥🐤 i remember he had hands like i draw, without any robotic fragments on inner palm part, but it had dividing lines.

and then if you remember boothill's gun in the arm, well screwllum in my dream had some kind of laser guns in both of his arms and aaaah HOW SEXY HE WAS ACTIVATING THEM AND TELLING THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE A DAY WHEN HE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO USE THEM🐤🐤🐤🐤 and then he shoot and game closed. i was playing as stella by the way, and the background was some kind of world in fire, red and orange.

IT WAS SO COOL I WANT TO FEEL IT AFAIN HOYO LEARN FROM MY DREAMS WHILE IM STILL ALIVE

OC-Tober Day 25: Rat

[dreamerdrop]

Julian Bashir showing surprisingly deep and intrinsic understanding of disability and how it can make someone feel helpless and ashamed in the episode Melora before the writers even had any idea that they were going to reveal Julian was also disabled my beloved.

Part of me just wants to upload the whole damn video to show my favorite parts of Bokura no Stella 😂 But I’ll just show you my personal top three parts of the MV! This was extremely hard because, as I said, I’m in love with this entire MV and song.

Starting with this opening bit, it’s so gentle and the violin makes me wanna cry. I love the little steps Ryuseitai do after saying “Stella Stella”. I don’t know, it’s such a simple bit but so darn pretty I’m always happy to restart the MV just to see this part again 🥰

couple qs!! your latest project 8 & 17

woo ok have i said anything about this project on tumblr yet? no! am i gonna answer these questions as if everyone knows what im talking about? yes!

8. What do they find physically sexiest about each other?

ok so Stella (fortune teller and occasional real prophet, also a human lie detector) obviously cannot resist the buff sword arm charms of Rose (runaway noble pretending to be a fully qualified knight) but i had a really hard time figuring out what Rose finds physically sexiest about Stella. and then i remembered they have a homoerotic haircut scene so i'm going to go ahead and say her hair and you can take that however you want

17. Do they believe in marriage?

At the beginning Rose is probably really into marriage considering her whole schtick is following antiquated rules (partially in order to game the system but also bc she kinda believes in old ideals). By the end of the story they might consider a kind of commitment ceremony bc it's important to celebrate and Show Your Affection Even When It Makes You Vulnerable but i havent really decided what happens to them down the line. doubt they'd get legally married unless utterly necessary
