hey, quick question, if you don't mind? how are you posting external links and still having your posts show up in the search?

Um...I don't know, to be honest. I'm just posting via desktop and using the link tool in the post editor. Sorry I can't be more helpeful.

T: any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

i haaaate contemporary america aus especially for ds9 honestly - whoever came up with the concept of the ‘all-human’ au for fantasy and science fiction deserves to answer for their crimes. i remember seeing my friend draw ‘humanstuck’ back in 2014 and not batting an eye but here and now having read that source material and had to live with human aus of star trek shows... my only reaction is WHY. 

for ds9 specifically i hate fics that expect everyone to be Uwu Friends after the end of the show as an alternative to the show’s events, julian being a Naive Childlike Innocent in literally every area of his life instead of like a full grown adult who’s just kind of inexperienced, and the corresponding trope of Garak As Dark Tragic Mentor Who Always Had The Upper Hand.

thegreenthingslivebeforetheydie mentioned you on a post “i adore Frohike”

@thesylverlining HE IS! SO IMPORTANT! i can't even begin to say how much love there is in my heart for that beautiful man. when he smiles the angels sing

Listen

Heaven is a sound on earth

And it is him tenderly saying “buddy” to Langly and Byers so gently HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH he does this like every time they’re Really Upset, this is his THING THAT HE SAYS to calm them down and let them know he’s there for them

I am just really emotional about Frohike in general but “BUDDY” gets me eVERY TIME

my straight hair is perma-wavy bc i sleep in a braid every night

see i can’t braid worth a shit, but i have strong finger gun game since my pointers get a workout every day via non-stop twirl action

opinion: favorite Vulcan? Spock is a freebie bc he is quite rightly Beloved By All

OKAY SO REAL TALK I AM NOT SUPER INTO THE VULCANS AS A WHOLE like, I am a huge fan of Garbage and as a whole the vulcans are usually a little too button downed to catch my attention other than Spock and also my favorite show is DS9 which is... weirdly Vulcanless like, where the vulcans at in this show?

That said I’m not entirely caught up on Discovery but I do really like Sarek and his and Spock’s entire dynamic of trying to be the Least Effected By Anything is highly entertaining in TOS. Just Sarek, let yourself feel a thing, a single thing, it’ll be okay.

carpe ponytail! �� i miss my man’s ponytail sometimes, but he still looks gorgeous of course. ponytails are awesome

heck yea! and the thing is i feel like i look kinda cute when i wear my hair in a ponytail which is.... not a common occurrence so i don’t really wanna give it up despite what other people will percieve me as because of it (even though it’s hard and i struggle with it hhhhh)

ponytail good

oh it’s the underwear episode

i thought the ferengi episode was the underwear episode askjsdjkkjdsfk am i in for more starfleet underwear

@thegreenthingslivebeforetheydie: oh boy yeah. like... teaching Odo that it's ok to loosen up and enjoy himself would be fine, but for starters THAT IS QUARK'S JOB, THAT'S WHAT QUARK HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING FOR THEIR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP, and. what was i saying

Even discounting all the disservices they did to both Odo’s and Kira’s characters in that episode, Vic as Magic Encouragement Hologram doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense given Odo and Quark’s extensive back-and-forth on this matter. A hologram with whom Odo has little history, succeeding in a handful of days with a task Quark has been undertaking (with FAR more respect for Odo’s integrity and boundaries) for years and years?! Seems fake tbh.

also i have a feeling that 90% of answers to 35 would be/are women

I demand a spinoff with all the minor/KO’ed female Trek characters. It could be called “Tales From The Cryogenic Freezer Compartment”. :P

mug; chamomile

Thank you!! :D

mug: when/where do you normally drink tea?

In my apartment. I usually have a cup in the morning, and then often I’ll have another after classes or in the evening. Lately I’ve been having three cups a day on average!

chamomile: comfort movie?

I’m weird about watching movies multiple times, so usually when I need a comfort movie I’ll find a new movie about sapphic gals in love to watch.

my man only got 22 and he's been notorious for being a picky eater all his life

thegreenthingslivebeforetheydie replied to your post “the people getting 43 on that picky eater test lefkslkkfkf;gkdg;sl”

he says it's texture more often than taste

that’s usually it for me too... if i don’t like a food it’s usually because of the texture or because it tastes very bitter to me
