Okay, okay, so... the new year isn't here yet, but 2023 is coming to an end very soon and I have planned to make a post - so here it is.
What this post is about? You!
I just want to be here and say thank you to everyone who has joined me here on my blog, even though I haven't been around for long. I am insanely grateful for each and every single one of you being here, for all the good memories you allowed me to make, and that so many of you welcomed me - and my muse - with open arms. I am so happy that you gave - and still give - me opportunities to explore my own writing and my muse's behaviors, and I just cannot stop saying it enough: THANK YOU!
I met some incredible people over the last months - some of which are people that I have RPed with before and where I was oh-so-excited to have them met again, after all these years of me having been separated from my Khan-muse because of fandom-changes, interest-changes, whatnot; For those of you who don't know, I first started to write Khan in 2012, BEFORE Star Trek into Darkness even aired, solely based on speculations and a teaser trailer lol. It wasn't very serious, but then definitely developed into what is my most-written muse after the movie finally came out and Khan just invaded my brain like some kind of parasite.
Since then, I have made a few blogs, kept writing Khan for a couple of years, then went on hiatus - remade, revamped, wrote for a few more years, disappeared... and now here I am again, with an AU-Version I was very, very scared to just put out here but now I am so, so glad I did. Thank you all for allowing me to write it, and yeah, I'm repeating myself, but... the opportunies I got and still get? So wonderful. Thank you so much for giving my Khan a chance.
Besides that, I also expanded my horizon a little and made two more blogs: One is on a little hiatus right now, while I am very active on the other thanks to some wonderful human beings who basically set my love for that character into flames. I hope that, and I mean that with the utmost sincerety, my choice of 'second and especially third muse' is not taken as a will to replace anything or anyone, but rather me being so immensely starstruck by other writers that have given me such a great insight and made me want to explore the depths as well.
Okay, okay, this is already insanely long and I am so sorry (I am unsure if anyone will ever read this lol), but now I want to give a shout out to ALL OF YOU, who are here, writing with me! All of you are so, so amazing and I am so glad to have met you, and I hope we can continue to write for as long as our muses and our creativity will let us. Thank you, again, and please take a look at those awesome people in case you aren't already following each other:
First of all, amazing writers and amazing people in general that I look up to (in no particular order), who are inspiring me in so many ways, make me feel a bit like a teenager gazing at their favorite star (lol) and just... are great people, yes, that I just want to mention separately for varying reasons:
@ssolessurvivor (Friend! Omg! When you first followed me, I could never imagine how things would ever develop - and how well Logan would fit to Khan, how their story developed into what it is now, so deeply plotted and filled with so many sub-stories and little moments that push both our muses along, allow me to explore my Khan on so many levels... it's insane how attached he is to your Logan, and I am so, so happy about us being in so much contact and just keep plotting and talk about everything! You are such a friendly mun and I am so, so grateful that you indulge me, even over on Stephen (hehe). I hope we can keep writing for a long time; Thank you so much for letting me throw in all my ideas about Khan, all the quirky things about him, I am so, so grateful!!! ♥)
@darehearts (I felt insanely welcomed by you, giving my Khan *and* my Bones such a chance to interact with Kirk ♥ Thank you so much for that, and thank you so much for indulding in my Khan-joins-the-crew idea as a Kirk-writer. That's definitely not something you need to do and yet you allow me. Ahhh! I was so blown away when you asked me if I wanted to become mains sdfasadfasd. Still am honestly because I am just a potato haha. Thank you for being here and being such a kind person ♥)
@strxngetimes (seriously, I was so nervous approaching you first but I am so glad I did; I do look up to you like you're some kind of superstar (haha) and I am still amazed that you gave me the chance of exploring things the way we do. Thank you for indulging me AND enduring me (and my muse lol), and you really, really inspire me in so many ways when it comes to your Stephen, it's amazing. You actually caused my interest for him to go back up into flames and for me to join the MCU fandom lol (and I would also bother you on your tony BUT i am SO UNWORTHY hahaha). Thank you - I hope we can keep writing for a while longer ♥ And I look forward to everything that might further develop between Khan and Stephen. Very much <3 Love them a lot!)
@mehrere-musen (Ok but really, of course I have to mention you. The way you accepted me, the way we started to write and things just??? Happened??? I love interacting with you and your Stephen and I love the way he works with Khan too, and I am so happy that you allowed me to be with the two where they are. Our thread has almost 800 notes by now which is insane, and with how we keep having ideas, it might go further than that lol. Thank you so much for indulging me - and thank you to Stephen to make Khan so insanely happy. :) ! I hope we can continue to write for a long time! ♥)
@fasciinating (SPAWK! I know we don't do a lot of OOC chatting in any way but our thread??? You are so good for just throwing us into that mess and for you to be like 'lmao ok here let Khan do whatever' and where are Spock and Khan now??? A NIGHTMARE LOL. I love the creativity and how you maneuvered us into that mess of a situation and how we can just seriously fuck moments up and go 'ah yeah somehow there's a rabbit also the world explodes'. I also love the way you write Spock! Thank you so much for giving my Khan a chance, despite his 'AU-ness', and that I get to explore such an interesting storyline! I was also very happy to have found you again, because I remember you from a long time ago (even though we didn't write much back then I think? But I remembered your name!)).
@sxbaist (MY BELOVED! God, you have no idea how insanely happy I was when I realized you were still there. Vega has stolen Khan's heart back when we first wrote so many years ago and when I rebooted him with his AU Version, my heart almost stopped when I saw you were still active and around. I was so, so nervous to approach you - but you welcomed me back, so did Vega welcome back my Khan, and honestly... I love them so, so much, and I adore you so much as a person. Thank you for doing all of that, for allowing me back, for Khan to have his wonderful woman back and for them to enjoy each other. It feels like as if they never got separated at all and I cannot express my gratitude enough, really. You as a person are so awesome as well and I will forever wait for your return! You are also the only other Khan I write with, so I will mention your @paramounticebound here too because your Khan is insanely great and I look up to him so, so much, people need to know!!!)
@vuulpecula (OK but listen, I know we also don't do much OOC chatting at all BUT!!! I just have to mention you here too because the things we do are just so??? SO??? HNNG like lmao we just write each other like 'ok what should happen' AND THEN DOOM HAPPENS to either Khan / Fox and Stephen / Fox LOL as if we got no chill really! I enjoy it a lot to explore those plots and see where things will go! Also you are such a kind person and so easy to talk to!!! Thank you for also indulging me on Stephen hehe ♥ and also all the things on Khan ofc!)
If I could, I would write every single one of you such a text, but alas... if I were to, I wouldn't be finished in 2025 (lol), so I hope you take my gratitude and my love for you as a combined package as well; You are all wonderful people and I am so glad to have you here, and it has been a joy - I hope it will continue to be a joy in the future too, and I cannot wait to see how things will develop (once again, in no particular order):
@whydotheykeeptakingmine ♥ @noblehcart ♥ @resignedworkaholics ♥ (also over on Stephen) @he1msman | @spacesk1pper | @entrpz ♥ (also on Bones) @ensnchekov | @cosmiicheskaya ♥ (also on Bones) @vulku ♥ @onlybonesleft ♥ @wtsns | @agntross ♥ (also over on Stephen) @goodheartedfool ♥ @oceansfirst ♥ (also over on Stephen) @kingofthewebxxx ♥ (also over on Stephen) @fallenregent ♥ @danversiism ♥ @nursc ♥ (also over at Bones) @nightmdic ♥ @brooklynislandgirl ♥ @defectivexfragmented ♥ (also over on Stephen) @haiiling ♥ @gcldenratio ♥ @hiippocrates ♥ @tangleweave ♥ (In case I have forgotten someone: I am so, so, so, so, sorry!!!!)
Also, last but not least: Should you not be named on this list, this does not mean I am not grateful for you or don't appreciate you! I thank you for being here, especially if we have already written something... and even if you follow me and I do not follow back, I am still immensely grateful that you're here in the first place, even if you might not stay ♥.
Thank you so much for every single one of you, really - everyone I mentioned here, everyone I did not. Because of YOU my experience on this (and my two other blogs) is what it is. Without you I wouldn't be where I am now, I wouldn't be able to explore my Khan, my Bones, my Stephen, and I wouldn't be able to have such a good time.
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2024 - MAY GOOD LUCK, LOTS OF LOVE, HAPPINESS AND FORTUNE COME YOUR WAY! No matter where you are, or what your plans are... you are valid, you deserve to be here, you deserve to do what you want to do and you deserve all the good things coming for you.
THANK YOU.
L. finally over and out. (and if you read up this far, you'll get a cookie from me!)

Kink meme archiving project: Star Trek
Hello! I've started a personal project in 2024 to archive the old kink memes on livejournal for my favourite show: Star Trek. I'll be working my way through them all slowly- so while I'm starting with the reboot one (which is a huge undertaking! will definitely take me a while) this blog will go through every single one I can find. This is not to repost fictions, you will not find actual works posted here just links to the original threads I find them on with additional links whenever possible to authors personal livejournals and other places they may have posted it, as well as a final link to where I am archiving said fics via the wayback machine-- Which seems to be as screenshots of the kink page as otherwise the comments (where the fics are) does not appear so please forgive any clunky/outdated appearances
This is not an ask blog, a rec blog, or anything else of the sort. It is purely for archival purposes to have everything located in one place-even then it is mainly to be used as a reference point for myself with my work with the wayback machine. As such asks will never be open and besides this I will not be posting anything besides links.
As it is not a rec blog or anything of the sort I will not be vetting the fics- by this I mean I will not be leaving anything (purposefully) undocumented in regards to these fics, regardless of how I or anyone else may feel about their subject matter--it is a Kink Meme and all possible warnings apply. I will be adding verbatim how the original prompts listed its kinks/warning and if an author added any warnings to the very start of the fic I will do my best to add them as well. But if you see a post and decide to read the fic it contains please do your own research if you know certain content upsets you.
I will not be saving unfilled prompts but the content that is there may not be complete either, basically as long as some sort of fill is there and available I will be posting it--If there claims to be a fic but I have no way to access it it will be made into a special post with screenshots and asks for help in regards to original content if I can not find it on any other archive-- a long shot but maybe someone knows someone who has screenshots or was the original author who can add a link to where they have saved their work!
All of this to say, while tumblr is questionable my posts may or may not end up in the tags, so I hope this pinned post is a useful as a sort of FAQ and that I don't get reported for spam or anything
projects like this are a big undertaking, and it's just me doing this, I can't be sure how fast or if at all I will complete this but I believe it's important to preserve fandom history, the kink memes are a big part of my fandom experience, and I've been so so happy to see them start to make a reappearance as 'prompt memes' on tumblr and A03, as the kink memes on livejournal are over a decade old there's bound to be TONS of fans who have never experienced them and find livejournal confusing to navigate, I'm hoping this inspires people to give older fics a try, give lots of love to those fic writers who might come across this blog, and even gives a boost to the current prompt meme revivals!
While asks are off, if you need to contact me you can reply to this post, I'm hesitant to give out my personal tumblr in case the content causes fandom wank--the internet is a very different place than it was a decade ago and terminology and kink that was commonplace in those circles may be harshly met now but we will see how it goes!
ALSO!!! if at any point in the future you see this and think this would be a good idea for other fandoms ( I know Glee has a fucking HUGE kink meme presence for example) you can just straight up go ahead and do it! no need to reinvent the wheel or ask permission if you like how I organized the info you can have the blue print-- I think the important part is archiving on the wayback machine. Think of how much past fandom history has been lost, and how much will be lost once old giants like livejournal and ff.net go down-- hell I think I even use to read fics on sites like quizzila at one point, gone now, and all the other places that existed like geocities, MAILING LISTS!! EMAIL AND GOOD OLD POSTAGE!
While A03 is doing amazing at archiving, places like the kink memes are hidden gems, so many fics are just small bits of love that don't get posted anywhere else and it's so sad to think about what will be lost.
Edit 11/1/24
I think I'm making steady progress! I know its going to be a slug getting through it all, just this one kink meme has 14 parts to it with like an average of 8000 comments each which could be like . . . at least a thousand or a good few hundred fics in each (would it be an 8:1 ratio??? i feel like that's too high) either way combined i'm looking at a good few thousand fics for ONE kink meme and there's TONS out there-- and if i manage to get through all of them before LJ gets shut down (this could very well take me years) then there's all the communities they get cross posted in who have their own fandom events and a whole bunch of fics to maybe also archive. Or just all the authors i'm finding who have other fics on their Journals who haven't been active in years! But I can't think that far ahead or I get overwhelmed, this is at its core a kink meme archive.
I've sorted out an issue I've had with a handful of fics where the adult warning archives instead of the fic. as far as i can tell there's no solution through it using the main archive (there is with other sites, but LJ is a special old girl) but there's a different archive I can use-though i cant seem to then archive THAT on the main site . . . so that's still a problem, but I've tagged those fics 'other archive' to come back to at a later date.
I have a hard time trying to locate other places people may have posted their fics if they don't leave me very obvious bread crumbs so if you (yes, YOU, the person reading this sometime in the future) see a writer you recognize you're more than welcome to tag them or add additional author info in a reblog or just whisper in the tags or reply (if this blog is still active mystery person reading this a decade in the future)
either way, i'm hoping to get through this particular kink meme by the end of the year. I know it's only 11 days into the new year but i'm really trying to pace myself so I don't burn out. I'm almost positive I can get through the first part this month so an average of one a month shouldn't be impossible (so average like a page and a half a day, which is still like 18 fics/per day)
24/1 lmao ok so I started Vyvanse, and I hyperfocused and basically archived 163 fics in the last 24 hours and finished the first of fourteen sections of the first kink meme on my list-- which is golden! Awesome! Spectacular! 410 fics in just that first part,( they tapered off from an average of 11 fics per page to 8 basically) I'm doing amazing! And--this is looking way to far ahead-- but I like to think now that I'm in a solid rhythm (of how to archive not how to pace myself) once all the kink memes are done I'll start a whole new blog and archive all the other trek comms I can find, because theres a lot of crossposting going on and theres just so many comms with their own special events and things that have been archived but on things like delicious which is gone or in blogs that have been deleted as a whole. like st-anon! But anyway I'm having a lot of fun! And I'm probably not gonna look at this blog for a week but I've got days in the bank baby!
19/2 I've reached part 3!!!! I'm right on track where I want to be mid february, there was a small decrease in the number of fics in #2 but a lot more than going through page by page made it seem-- a common theme I've noticed is misplaced comment fics, which is so fascinating! It's so easy to misplace your comment on threads, and instead of hostility or mod culling it's treated with comradery (get it?) and kindness. I'm still looking at around several thousand individual fics just for this kinkmeme and after this one there's so many more, one is already lost to a purge but there's at least one other huge one. My queue ran out the other day because I was dealing with a dead rat somewhere in my kitchen walls, very distressing, and a bit embarrassing cause this blog doubled its following in the last few days, and it definitely feels a bit strange to know that this project is getting attention. Feels a bit like I'm sitting on my bed, back to the window, and every time I peer around my shoulder I see more people peering down at what I'm doing. Which I WANT people to be able to do cause that's the whole reason I'm doing this but it's like a 'damn wish I'd thought to put pants on' kinda vibe. I don't feel very professional. But still . . . we persevere!!!
22/2 horrific news. Just realised I wasn’t counting the posts with multiple fics . . . As multiple fics. So even the posts with five individual fics. Have only counted as one in my count. The absolute buffoonery. The agonising idea of having to individually check each post. The massive urge to quit and sulk for five years. But still. . . We persevere. So I need to come back to stixk 1 & 2 and recount. But from the start of 3 we’re on track.

Another updated introduction
Tumblr media
A very warm "Hallo!" from Germany!
Call me Magnus, lvl 30+ senior nerd and fanboy from a town called Erfurt, seated in the german county of Thuringia.
I'm in fandoms since 1997; Star Wars was my first love and it will be my last. :'D
I'm not an artist or writer; I don't create much content (besides my TF2 cosplay blog, link in bio), but I like a good conversation and interacting with other fans the normal or the feels way. x) I love meeting new people for fanboying/girling. xD I reblog a lot and I enjoy your creations, especially fanfics, headcanons or fanart.
btw: Star Wars cosplays are planned for the end of 2023 and 2024!
My current main hype: STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH (huge Tech simp with another small obsession to Echo qq)
More fandoms wich catch my whole attention:
+ Star Wars in general (Andor & RO, Mando & Book of Boba Fett, OT and PT, TCW)
+ Team Fortress 2 (check out my already named cosplay blog)
+ Star Trek (old series and movies until Kelvin timeline)
+ Mad Max (Ride eternal, shiny and chrome)
+ Firefly (more shiny!)
+ Futurama (waiting for new episodes so badly)
+ Transformers (G1, Armada, Animated, Prime, Movie '07, IDW)
+ Pacific Rim (but Part 2 sucks imho)
+ Brave Poilce J-Decker (so smol and nearly dead, the fandom ;_;)
+ Guardians of the Galaxy
I'm also a musician and I play piano and organ.
My favorite music genres: Metal, Epic Cinematic/Filmmusic and Hardstyle
You can find me on Twitter and Instagram, too. LInks in bio.
I'm looking forward for new people for simping, talking, laughing and crying about our favorite characters and fandoms. I live in constant denial, currently now. x)
Don't mind my bad english skills, it's not my native language. ^^;
Cheers and have a great day! ~Magnus~

What other fandoms are you in, apart from this one?
// Well, my take here might be a weird one, but I don't really consider myself part of fandoms in general? I enjoy series for being the series they are. I don't really poke around a lot outside of what I see/read. I don't join these fandom forums, reddits, tiktoks or whatever there is. The thing for me is, fandoms have too much stupid drama shit going on, no matter where you poke your head in. I just want to enjoy my interests and not fight toe and nails about some ships or embarrassing takes. Sooo... I rather distance myself from fandoms. TMNT is one of my interests. And so are Rick & Morty, Star Trek, and several other series/games that tend to come and go more often. Maybe I talk about some of my other interests on my ooc blog sometime when I'm not bitter and salty about my life.
What are your favorite hobbies besides roleplaying/writing?
// I like to draw (when I'm not horribly art-blocked) and read books & comics. The latter is a hobby I try to pick up more again. I constantly pick up books & comics from the library where I currently work part-time. I'm just a very very picky reader, unfortunately. I also tend to pick up little things like doing bracelets or pixel images, but my ADS brain is making it difficult sometimes to just sit down and focus on any of these things. And well, watching stuff on YT, but Idk if that's actually a hobby xDD Oh, and spoiling my cat, perhaps? I also like to take photos sometimes but I can't really afford a nice cam, sooo...
What is your favorite band/music genre?
// Whatever I'm in the mood for these days. I do listen to music a lot, but I have no actual favorites anymore? It goes from random metal to soundtracks/remixes to some amazing violin tracks.

While I’m not going to talk about fanfic content opinions on this blog, I do have a rant locked and loaded for a lot of fandom behavior issues I’ve observed over the years. Here’s one that’s been bothering me lately. 
This is just one of many gripes I have, but I absolutely cannot stand how fandom culture has shifted from “those of us who like this material have formed a community to talk about it and sometimes we make content and come up with other silly ideas” to “there are 2 fans: content producers and content consumers”
I’ve been in fandom for a while. Recently, I’ve found it downright impossible to socialize with fans online of media if I haven’t created content for that media yet. Because it’s to the point where either you’re “participating” by creating content, or you’re a passive observer who just reblogs/likes stuff. 
It’s like there’s this bizarre barrier for entry into the fandom that means you have to first “prove” your worth by showing what you can make. And on top of that, dictated by how popular your works are, that determines who in fandom will “pay attention” to you. 
And that’s fucked up, we’ve invented highschool popularity tiers and bullshit all over again. Thanks Twitter, and public follower counts!
Before anyone is all “this doesn’t exist” think 2 things to yourself. 
1) If you’re a fandom creator, how many of your internet friends don’t make any content compared to how many of them do? What about in fandoms you don’t make content for?
2) If you’re not a fandom creator, are you close with anyone in the fandom who makes content? A lot of them? 
At least for me, this is based on personal experience and observations over the years.
Years ago, most of my internet friends made 0 content for any of the fandoms we were in. Or if we did, it was mostly low-effort shitposting. But that was the thing, I could “join” a fandom just by talking to other people on it, because most people were just excited we found someone else to talk about the same media we liked. Ocasionally I’d make a friend who was “big” in the fandom because we’d talk on ao3 about their content, and we’d share ideas and come up with new ones. But at the time, I never made content. We could be friends anyways. 
Nowadays, besides like, hxh, obviously, I can’t engage in other fandoms because I’m too much of a “nobody” and no one cares to talk to me because I’m not a “big name fan”. Like star trek, I’ve joined many servers before to talk about it since it’s actually my favorite media series of all time, I’m super passionate about it, but I don’t write star trek fanfic. I don’t draw star trek art. And because of that, modern star trek spaces are completely inaccessible to me. Because who would want to talk to “me”, someone who has “nothing to share with the fandom”.
Which is complete and utter bullshit. I have tons of thoughts and ideas to share with the fandom, everyone who likes a media has thoughts and ideas, they’re just discouraged from sharing them because fandom is becoming more focused on content creation as opposed to a community of people who enjoy the same things. 
Anyhow, this is just something I’ve observed and I’m sure others have felt the same way.

just did a quick follower clearout and was surprised to learn that the majority of the new ones were actually not bots! i guess people actually are coming here from reddit? anyway, hi new followers, have some general info:
this is generally a critical role blog, but i'm not really following c3. feel free to spoil me
i write fic (lots of it) (too many wips) (help) that can all be found on ao3. i've archive locked my account bc of ai stuff, but feel free to message me for an invite if you don't have an account
other fandoms/interests that you'll generally see: dimension 20, star trek, star wars, welcome to night vale/wtnv presents, wolf 359, the bright sessions, hazbin hotel, helluva boss, the locked tomb, the raven cycle, pokemon, good omens, doctor who, flight rising, web development, dogs, the ocean, poetry.
i tag all the common triggers i can think of. lmk if you need one and i'll attempt to accommodate.
some interaction stuff:
i am part of a median system. this blog is mostly run by me (thane, it/its, 23) but all of the adult members of the system have access to it and may post occasionally.
i don't gatekeep other systems. if you've got headmates and you wanna call yourself a system because of it, alright. i don't care enough about whether or not you're actually having audio hallucinations or ptsd flashbacks and mislabeling them to harass you about it. that's your deal. if you're a system you're safe here. conversely if you hate endogenic systems, don't bother me about it. we're traumagenic but endos are safe here.
we're a pretty fictive heavy system. my fictives do not interact with the fandoms of their respective sources as it can feel weirdly fetishistic or even painful for them (we've tried. people got weird about it.) this is not to say don't interact with my fictives if you know where they're from, just...treat them like any other person you know nothing about besides their internet presence.
my discord handle is @/themagicianking feel free to send me a friend request if you wanna chat, i hate tumblr's message interface
anyway. hi hello welcome have a cat for getting through that wall of text

so i want to talk for a minute about why it’s so important that you reblog fics on tumblr (yes, i know there’s a problem with art too but this is specifically about fics today)
first of all, let me kick this off by saying, if you’re reading this, this is for you specifically. yes, you with less than a hundred followers, you with less than ten followers, you with zero followers. there seems to be this misconception that it doesn’t matter if you don’t reblog something because no one will see it and i’m telling you right here, right now, that you’re wrong. it definitely 100% matters and i’m going to tell you why
last month, i reached a follower milestone and was very excited - for about a day and a half and then my excitement plummeted because what i realized was that i had just hit this milestone and yet the number of notes on my fics had never been lower. at first i was baffled. how could i have more followers than ever but be getting less notes than i used to? at the time, i was posting one to two ficlets every day so i thought maybe the quality was decreasing because of how much i was putting out and i just hadn’t noticed so i decided to take a break from posting ficlets and focused on my longer works and the events i was participating in
i went back to posting today after asking for prompts from followers yesterday and go figure, the number of notes is still lower than it was compared to posts from the beginning of the year, even factoring in the time that’s passed since then. so then i thought to check the notes themselves and what i ended up finding was that while the number of likes hadn’t changed, the reblogs had (interestingly, this drop in notes coincided with a post making the rounds telling writers to be happy with the silent readers who leave neither likes nor reblogs on works but that’s a story for another post)
this is when i went to a couple friends to complain that i didn’t know what i was doing wrong and made an off-hand comment about wondering if people were seeing all these posts begging for people to reblog and just not thinking it applied to them, which is when may - thank you, may - told me that yeah, that’s exactly what a lot of blogs think so let me tell you why it does actually matter that you reblog, even if you don’t think it does
firstly, as it relates just to the author, when you reblog, you’re telling the author that not only did you like their story, but you want to share it with everyone else too. i don’t know an author out there who doesn’t go through the reblogs and read the tags and i can pretty much guarantee that we all get that warm, fuzzy feeling when someone leaves a particularly nice tag
there are two common arguments that i hear for this point: what if i like something cringey and why does it matter if i reblog something when i don’t have any followers to share it with?
as for the first argument, no media is unproblematic and no media is something that everyone will consider non-cringey. there’s always going to be someone out there who thinks your chosen fandom is cringey and it’s best to realize that now and get over it. you can’t please everyone. besides, it’s your blog. why wouldn’t you want to post things you like on your blog?
as for the second argument, if it’s not enough for you that even just the act of wanting to share fics means something to the authors, then let me bring you to my second point: fandom is built on active, not passive, participation
we’ve all heard stories about the star trek fans who actively passed paper copies of fic around to share it with people. fandom was built on sharing those fics. friendships were built on sharing those fics. and if those fans had taken the fics they wrote and hidden them away, shared them with only a couple friends and told them not to distribute their works, modern fandom as it is today wouldn’t exist. we’d still be hiding our fics, hoping that we don’t get the all-terrifying dmca notice
along the same lines, tumblr is built on active participation. every couple of months, it seems like tumblr comes out with a new way to make it harder for content creators to share their stuff: the 2018 nsfk ban, shadow-banning, problems with the read more, and recently not being able to put links in your work if you want it to show up in the tags. all of this means that it’s up to us to keep fandom on tumblr going because tumblr isn’t going to do it for us
tumblr’s algorithm, unlike just about every other social media site, is designed around reblogs. this, in many ways, makes sense. tumblr is a blogging platform so of course its algorithm is designed around what gets shared. this means that posts that show up in the tags are the ones that get reblogged. the posts that show up in the On Your Dashboard, What You Missed, and Recommended features are all the ones that get reblogged. the posts that show up on the login screen, for those of you who regularly see it, are the ones that get, you guessed it, reblogged
so what that means is that, even though you might have only a couple or even no followers, your reblog counts toward that algorithm and that post gets bumped a little bit higher in the tag
which is why it’s such a big problem when people stop reblogging. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve seen a tag saying something along the lines of “wow this is so good, why doesn’t it have more notes?” well, typically it’s because anywhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of the notes on that post are likes, which means that tumblr’s algorithm counted my fic as worthless and didn’t bother promoting it
which leaves me where i currently am: reblogging my own ficlets over and over in the hopes that someone will like it enough to reblog it, tagging it with something as pleading as “if you like please consider reblogging” because if i use anything stronger, i get a whole bunch of people telling me that i can’t tell people what to post
no, you’re right, i can’t tell you what to post. the most i can do is beg and explain yet again why every reblog counts

Hiya again, @travelling-through-worlds​ !  Don’t mind me, I’m just starting a new thread here to continue our conversation from here, since our old one was getting so long - I didn’t want my reblog to totally swallow your dashboard! :)
especially in Naruto I think the bonds and relationships between the characters are SO well done, and I find it to be one of the strongest points of the series. I think that that is probably one of the main reasons so many of us find this story to be so compelling
yessss, I totally agree!  
re: which college I went to - I’ll refrain from naming the exact one, just because I try not to put info that would narrow down my offline identity too closely on a public blog, heh, but I did my bachelors and masters degrees at schools in the Northeast USA.  I do agree with you that the English courses in your area sound a little different than the ones here - often “English” as a college course of study here refers to English literature, as opposed to English language, so you wouldn’t see the phonetics and pronunciation work you mentioned.  You will still probably have the occasional text or class that just doesn’t spark any interest in you; there’s always bound to be something out there we don’t connect with, even if the work might still have some kind of literary merit.  I remember I took one course during my degree (I think it was on post-modernist American Lit and related texts, or something like that) and I hated it.  We were doing Hunter Thompson, Brett Easton Ellis, Tom Wolfe, etc, and I just despised everything we read.  That’s rare for me; I can usually find something to appreciate in most of the “school” books I’ve worked with, but I remember reading I Am Charlotte Simmons and Less Than Zero and wanting to just dump them in a lake. 
What are some of your favourite books and series? :) I scrolled through your archive for a bit and I think I’ll be adding Merlin to my list of things to watch.
Oh, I love Merlin SOOOOO much!  One of my absolute favorite universes of all time (and one of my favorite fandoms, too - I met so many awesome people there!)  I can’t believe it took me so long to start watching it (but then again, I’ve always been really slow about picking up TV shows X) ).  Probably my other biggest past fandoms (besides Merlin and Naruto) have been Teen Wolf and Star Wars, though there are a number of other series/universes that I love but don’t post as much about (Lord of the Rings, DC Comics, House MD, Star Trek, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gilmore Girls, etc).  As far as books go, it’s hard to choose - a couple of my favorites are Crusader by Edward Bloor, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke, as well as the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce and the Animorphs series (childhood favorite) by K. A. Applegate.
Do you happen to work in the teaching field by the way? (It’s something I’ve thought about doing myself.)
I used to, yes!  My masters degree is in education, and I used to be a public school teacher.  Nowadays I work in children’s services at a public library, though.  (I loved many parts of teaching, and the school I worked at was wonderful, but work-life balance became really difficult after a few years, so switching to a less intense work environment ended up being the right decision for me.
I find it helpful to kind of compare it to singing. 
Ooh, yes, this is exactly why I think tonal languages are so cool!!!  I have a music background, so I just think it’s so amazing to have languages that utilize pitch changes like that.  (And it’s SUPER cool that you’re able to pick certain words up in the original Naruto dialogue due to occasional similarities between the languages - there are some shared words like that between Arabic and Spanish, too, which it was always fun to see students pick up on!)

I wasn’t tagged for this but I’m snagging it from @squishmittenficfan​:
Three ships: 
Berena (Bernie Wolfe and Serena Campbell, Holby City). I confess I only got into the ship because of Jemma Redgrave whom I’ve adored since her first appearance as Kate Stewart in Doctor Who! I kept seeing gifsets of Berena on a couple of mutuals blogs that I was following for other reasons. 
Milippa (Michael Burnham and Philippa Georgiou, Star Trek Discovery). I wrote 64 fics for them in 7 months - I guess that tells you exactly how hard they gripped my heart and imagination!
Bering & Wells (Myka Bering and Helena G Wells, Warehouse 13). I’ve not really written any fic for them, but I read a lot of it a couple of years ago.
First ever ship:
Oof! Tenth Doctor/Martha Jones (Doctor Who). Look, I was a very late starter when it came to the whole fandom thing - the bloody internet didn’t even exist when I was a teenager because I am An Old! And their chemistry just grabbed me from the off...
Last Song:
Well, currently listening to ‘One Night’ by M People.
Last Film:
Hell, no idea - I watch films even less frequently than I watch TV shows! Possibly it was I’ll Be There because Jemma Redgrave!
Currently reading:
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett!
Currently watching:
Star Trek Discovery - and Star Trek Picard which has just returned for its second season.
Currently craving:
Chocolate. Which I won’t be eating as I’ll be having dinner in about 45 minutes. And besides, my chocolate intake is strictly controlled since I’m diabetic.
To easily copy: Three ships: First ever ship: Last song: Last film: Currently reading: Currently watching: Currently craving:
Tagging (with no obligation to participate, as ever!): @thisbluespirit, @slightlyintimidating, @doctorjameswatson, @al-the-grammar-geek, @jinxedwood, @lapalfruity... And anyone else who’d like to participate!

What other fandoms have you been/are you active in besides Trek?
I'd say I'm only active currently in Trek. I'm the kind of person who can't really maintain more than one hyperfixation at a time, and so anything else I've been interested in in the past has really fallen by the wayside to make room for a truly insane amount of trekspace in my head. That being said, I used to publish fanfiction/fanvideos for the twilight fandom. That's where I started my fanfiction career in 2014. I wrote about 230K of extremely amateur writing before I lost most of my interest/momentum in 2020. I still occasionally post on my twilight-themed blog. And I once in a blue moon I still make fanvideos on my YouTube account. I haven't publicly participated in the fannish sphere other than that, but I've been writing fanfic since before I even knew other people did it. My house is full of star wars comics I doodled in elementary school, and in middle school I wrote 9 composition books full of a very bad harry-potter-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off knock-off series. That's the fandom that got me into reading fanfiction back in 2009, and at one time, I considered writing HP fanfic, though I never got around to it, and I recently scrapped all my ideas, because I personally haven't felt comfortable engaging in anything HP-related since jkr announced she was a TERF. I've also read fic in other fandoms. Voltron. LOTR. Marvel (before endgame, I haven't kept up with the new stuff). A few animes. But Trek and Twilight are the only things I've actually made content that people can see. And I think trek is the only thing I'm going to be doing for a while. Though I still watch and enjoy Star Wars.

-H❤🖖
The ship tilted and shuddered as it was being barraged by enemy fire; the nurses of sickbay scrambled to tether their patients down and deal with the influx of incoming wounded. Doctor Leonard McCoy cursed angrily in one of the ship’s surgical suites, 
“Damnit Jim!” he hollered trying to keeping his balance. 
Leonard glanced up so he could see out the observation window into the rest of the bay, he saw you scurrying between crewmen a medical tricorder clutched in your hands. He jerked his head in the direction of the comm unit on the wall and a nurse rushed over to turn it on, “How are you doing darlin’?” 
You turned to look at him with a scowl on your face, “Some first day!” you shouted blowing a strand of stray hair from your eyes. Leonard chuckled, 
“Welcome to the Enterprise Doctor (Y/L/N),” 
You may have huffed in annoyance but a smile slipped into place as you gently eased a young ensign off of the sickbay floor. “Here you go sweetheart,” you soothed brushing the hair back on their head. You administered a pain reliever and gestured for the nurse who had been shadowing you to start healing the young man’s leg. 
“Get his leg started, and let’s monitor him. I don’t like the concussion he’s got,” you said eyes scanning the rest of the room. Just about everyone has been attended to, 
“Doctor!” a voice rang out causing you to whip your head in the direction of the sickbay doors. Someone from security was lugging in a young woman from engineering, her blonde head bloody and burns cascaded up and down her arms. Rushing over you pulled the girl’s other arm around your shoulder to get her to a free biobed. 
The ship gave a violent jerk, yelping you caught the engineer as you were all tossed to the side. Crashing onto the floor painfully you quickly yet carefully lowered the girl to the ground beside you. Checking her pulse you whistled getting a nurse’s attention, one looked over and saw you. She rushed stumbling over fallen crewmen and equipment a spare medical tricorder in her hand. 
“Nurse Chapel, right?” you asked and the woman nodded giving you a small smile. “We need to get her into surgery,” you murmured checking the tricorder readings. A stretcher appeared beside you and the young girl was lifted on and whisked away to be Leonard’s next customer. 
It was four hours later when things finally quieted down. You sat sprawled on the couch in Leonard’s office with an arm draped over your eyes. 
“So how was your first day?” a voice asked crouched by your side. You lifted your arm and stuck your tongue out at the offender. Leonard smirked as you rolled your eyes, 
“It was eventful, a lot more action than Starbase nine,” you snorted. Leonard smiled ruefully, groaning as he got up from the crouched position by your head. He lifted your legs and sat down beside you before lowering them again over his lap. “So when you said you needed my brilliant psychology skills on this ship…” you trailed off with a chuckle. 
Leonard hummed leaning his head back against the wall behind the couch, “Well (Y/N) I think your expertise with trauma certainly helps. That and when Jim gave the okay to bring on another Doctor you were the first person I thought of,” 
“Admit Len, you missed me,” you teased with a wink. He looked over at you and took your hand in his, 
“Damn straight Yankee Girl,” 
You scoffed at the old moniker, “you’re never gonna let that go,” you grumbled squeezing his hand. Leonard snickered remember the good old days in med school, 
“My god my momma would beg me to bring you home during vacations,” he sighed and grimaced. You bit your lip to keep the sad smile from showing, “It’s in the past Len, leave it there,” 
Leonard pinched the bridge of his nose, “I don’t regret my baby girl at all. But I do have some regrets when it came between you and Joslyn,” 
“How do we keep getting into these situations?” you murmured the little spark you both felt years ago flared to life again like it was only yesterday that you were pretending to study in your dorm. Leonard let out a dry laugh, 
“Eleven years of friendship and I still don’t know,” 
You grinned as your heart sank a little bit; Leonard watched as you sank further into the couch your legs curling around him. “Eleven years…” he breathed, rubbing his thumb over the back of your hand as you drifted off. “We both sort of fucked up in the love department,” you mumbled sleepily, making Leonard click his tongue.
 “Maybe I’ll get it right this time around,”

(Different anon that the previous anon made curious)
You say not much besides SWSH, but is there anyone aside from SWSH you do pair? Not even limited to Pokemon, tho I personally really like Wallace/Steven and Cynthia/Caitlyn myself!
Hmmm there's not really anything in terms of stuff I'm interested in drawing, except pairings of my OCs lmao... this actually used to be a mainly OC blog until 2020 ahah;; I was also really into zero escape for the first half of 2020 & could prob still work up the energy to draw the characters but it's been a while.
Anyway I'll just list some random stuff I have mild interest in:
Pokemon (other than SWSH):
Archie/Maxie (ORAS), Red/Blue, Raihan/Lance, Steven/Lance (there's an artist on twitter who draws rly good art of them so fjdjnfndn), Wallace/Steven (ish, i'm not super invested)
Stuff from other series:
Zero escape: sigma/junpei, sigma/akane, sigma/clover, sigma/alice, sigma/luna, alice/clover (can u tell i was obsesses w sigma LMAO)
Mob Psycho 100: reigen/serizawa/dimple (kinda any combo of the three, but i love poly ships so i usually like them all together ahah... also ususally blob dimple or sg dimple, i personally dont rly like his buff green form LMAO;;)
Tiger & Bunny: kotetsu/barnaby
Fire Emblem Fates: MC/Silas/Niles (this is so specific bc it's just w my MC and not corrin jfjfnnf)
Smash Bros: Marth/Roy (my og fandom from 8th grade fjjfndnhfd)
Gekkan Shoujo: all the main "pairings" + mayu/mikoshiba
Yuri on Ice: Yuri/Victor
AI: Somnium Files: Date/Aiba (ish, idk not the same as how i draw sappy romantic stuff here fjjrnfn)
Overwatch: junkrat/roadhog (ive never played but fsr I drew a lot of roadrat in like 2018-ish fjdnndn)
Haikyu: the nerdy teacher/the coach dude LMAO i don't remember the names.... Takeda-sensei and someone else
Star Trek TOS: Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Spock/McCoy (had a star trek moment in college fjdnfkgj i've only watched a little bit tho)
....that's about all I can think of. I like shippy content and am open to most pairings, but tbh I don't get super invested in fandom stuff and 99% of the time I don't think about the characters from whatever media i consume outside of when I'm actually watching/playing/reading it ahah;;; idk why I latched onto swsh so hard, I think the designs and concepts are just comfy for me haha...
Anyway yeah sorry so long 😅
