Remember when Raffi had Cris who never told her that her emotions were wrong and that she needed to police them and was there to watch over her as she spiralled when few others (even Picard) noticed? Yeah, good times

It’s Monday, it’s time for Casual Trek! Today we’re returning to The Borg!

First up we’ve got Star Trek: The Next Generation “I, Borg”, where Dr Crusher and LaForge have taken in a stray Borg and are looking after it while Guinan and Picard both want to use it to cause a genocide.

Then we’ve got Star Trek: Lower Decks “I, Excretus” where the upper and lower decks crew swap roles for some mandatory tests. The upper decks have fun stacking crates and Boimler keeps trying to 100% a Borg-based test.

Finally we have Picard’s “Impossible Box” where we see some Borg rehab, reunite with Hugh, watch Soji learn about her origin. Oh, and there’s a Lord of the Rings elf for some reason. We’re still not a fan of him.

You can check out Casual Trek on all good podcatchers and here: https://anchor.fm/casual-trek/episodes/Saying-Borg-Babies-Again-and-Again-Until-it-Loses-All-Meaning-e2fv447

STAR TREK: PICARD - Recensione 1x06 “The Impossible Box”

RECENSIONE 1x06

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.

your imagines tag is 164 pages long and every single page is a gift from god, absolutely incredible writing. What is your favorite idea to play with? Like I mean you have so many AUs and Ideas there simply must be one that is your favorite.

Ough, that's a toughie honestly.

Farmer has been a big one. I had so much fun with him, I love him so much, and I have a fic in the works for once Tilikum is over. You guys also saw my insane ramblings for @valrayne-faeu's fae stuff - I couldn't be more of a sucker for anything fae. But I think my biggest & most favourite AUs are the ones where the boys are even MORE monstrous. Sirens (obviously), but I also had so much fun with nagas and harpies. My love of birds is second only to my love of sexy inhuman men so coming up with types of bird wings the different skeletons would have is so much fun.

Forest Gods was probably the most inspiration I've ever felt for a concept at one time. I was writing out ways to turn it into a book, researching what mushrooms would grow on their bodies, sketching Skull's bog so I could accurately describe walking through it... if I had to pick one AU to write forever, it'd honestly be a toss up between Sirens and Forest Gods.

Bruce is grateful for the fact that Damian has made friends, he is.

He's happy that his son has met children his own age at school and befriended them. That he is growing from that prickly, unhappy, scarred child he'd first been when he'd come to live with Bruce. That his friends are even normal kids - baring Jon, who is still normal enough despite being the son of Superman and occasionally a super hero himself - with no links to anything strange or dangerous or illegal.

"Oh, sup B."

He just wished that his son's friends were also just a little less...feral.

"Hello Elle."

Elle Nightingale gave him a little wave with the lemon she was holding - or as best as she could considering the space she was working with - and smiled cheekily at him. Bruce felt a headache budding behind his eyes.

"I thought Alfred banned you from the kitchen?" She shifted a bit, nudging a bottle of milk - farm fresh, courtesy of the Kents, passed along via Jon as thanks for looking after him for the weekend. Bruce wished he'd had the foresight to expect that Jonathan Kent staying over for the weekend would mean that Elle, her cousin Billy and their friend BL - the children refused to say the girl’s real name, likely to spite Damian, and thr initials had been a compromise to calling her Box Lunch - would take it as them being permitted to stay over for so long as well. Damian had just given Bruce a an unimpressed look when he'd expressed his surprise at the sudden influx of twelve year olds in his home. As if Bruce was disappointing him at being so foolish as to think his entire pack of hellhounds wouldn't be invading enmass.

"Just getting a snack." He assured her, not wanting her to being the wrath of Alfred down upon his head. The hellions liked doing that, for some reason. "I don't suppose you could tell me what exactly you're doing in my fridge." Bruce tried, looking at the girl curled up in what should have been a deeply uncomfortable position between a few shelves of the large appliance.

Elle grinned. Her canines looked a little too sharp in the odd light of the fridge. Bruce really had to stop thinking of his sons friends as demonic hellions, he was starting to impose impossible features on them when he was sleep deprived.

"We're playing hide and seek." She made direct, unblinking eye contact with him as she brought the whole lemon to her mouth and took a bite out of it like it was an apple. "It’s Day's turn to seek." She added, lemon juice dripping down her chin as she swallowed her bite, rind and all.

Well at least she was getting enough vitimin C.

"Right." He nodded, deciding that it wasn't cowardice that led him not wanting to get involved. No, it was just...good parenting. Letting the kids be kids. It was a sleepover, and Damian was actually playing a game! That was something to be encouraged! Bruce wasn't fleeing from this particular group of children's brand of chaos at all. "...could you hand me one of the fruit cups Alfred made earlier?"

Elle obliged on the condition Bruce didn't tell Damian about her hiding spot and returned to happily eating her...whole lemon...as he shut the fridge door on her.

As he returned to his office he glanced out one of the manor's large windows long enough to see Billy stick his head out from the top of the twelve foot tall topiaries out on the front lawn, checking to see if Damian was about. Bruce shook his head, kids and their ability to climb impossible structures never ceased to amaze him. Billy should be careful not to keep trying to peak for Damian though, he was going to end up getting found that way.

Love my fucked up spies and their terrible relationships with each other!!

Drew this a while ago and there is more but I am simply bad at maintaining my blogs orz

[separatist-apologist]

Genuinely so obsessed with people complaining how toxic the ACOTAR fandom is while screenshotting posts that have nothing to do with them so they can talk shit without having to hear a rebuttal from that blog.

If you want to talk shit that bad, don't be a coward- respond directly to the post you have no business being on.

[holdmymetaphor]

in like the second to last episode when taub was like why dont u respect wilsons wishes to die

house yells at him about how hard it has been to choose to live

and then we cut to other doctors and nurses and patients who hear him yelling this taboo thing, looking at him like hes weird and wrong and making a ruckus

ugh. houses reaction to it hurts me. its just such a clear reminder of how alone he feels/is.

[neofox]

Do you think Vox looks better as a old TV or the modern one?

Ahhhh! I can't choose! Both Voxs are bbg! 🤎💙

probably the goofiest figures on my wantlist are the space fighters figures... they're are sooo funny i love them so much

[dandelionjack]

i have a maybe lukewarm maybe hot take about this godforsaken show that some people could find mean, but i stand behind it, no elaboration (okay, some elaboration in the tags below… a lot of elaboration)

opinion: if you claim to like clara’s dynamic with the doctor and her character development in series 8 and 9, but simultaneously say you hate the impossible girl arc/elevenclara, you don’t actually understand anything about their relationship and what makes it the way that it is

[safehousebooze]

Tried to copy that classic manga coloring style, was especially looking at the art of Gunsmith Cats and it was sooo satisfyinggg, I wanna do it again

I used to color with watercolor and inks in the past and the best part was going in with a bit of white acrylic paint to add lots and lots of highlights in the end 😩💦

Lineart and another version under the cut:

Exactly like these two photos. Just nope, no, nada, I am out of here
