yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Happy Easter? :D

I did do some sketches of PJ and his AU counterparts in bunny outfits a while ago and... uh... just... never got the chance to finish them nor figured out what poses to put them in so...

Maybe someday I'll get back to this idea! XD

So I know we here at Startrekfandom love that "came back wrong but from the pov of the wrong" thing and apply it to many different characters and canon situations and I am far from trying to complain about it (I'm "came out wrong" trope myself so I was always gonna obsess over it) but having recently watched a very important episode (you'll know which one) for the first time I think there's a character who hits both tropes mentioned but llike, intertwined, opposite and subverted, and whom I wanna talk about.

Julian Bashir.

From his parents' pov he's "came out wrong but we got him help and he came back better" while from his own pov it's "came out 'insufficient', was destroyed for it, came back wrong and only later slowly came to terms with his new self tho never the process (justifiably so)" and it's heartbreaking because in a way, he's right! Jules Bashir died! His parents had an intellectually disabled child and decided to eugenics him! Julian is not the person he used to be and while I do love the person he is now, that doesn't bring back who he was! Part of me wishes we could've gotten to see Jules at least once and part of me hopes we never do because my heart would shatter.

This isn't a good comparison but nonetheless one I can't help drawing: it's giving similar vibes to anti-vaxxers. "I'd rather risk having a child who is dead than one who's autistic". Obviously this doesn't map over since Julian is still autistic and the procedure his parents subjected him to specifically targeted his intellectual disability and if any folks with id wanna comment on this I definitely recommend you listen to them over me, but it's a similarity I, as an autistic who has encountered anti-vaxxers again and again, can't help but point out. "Give me a normal child or give them death."

This may have been written about already but there needs to be stories about teenage Julian (after finding out and rediscovering who he was) practicing some good ol' recognition of the self through media. I need to hear about how he would encounter a story about someone who came back wrong (I'm gonna assume there's plenty of "wrong" pov stories floating around by the 24th century) and absolutely weep. I need to see Julian mourning Jules, taking years and years to process his feelings, experiencing guilt about how he, the imposter, didn't deserve to live Jules' life.

Came back wrong from the returned's pov but it wasn't an accident. It was done to you deliberately by the people who claim to love you. And now you are here, piloting the corpse of your predecessor.

Jules Bashir is dead. Long live Julian Bashir.

rvb dnd game where wash is the dm and just gets increasingly angry as the game goes on bc every time church meets one of his npcs he just says “i cast brain damage” and then the whole table yells that it’s a valid spell and wash just screams internally

I need to draw Booigi real soon, the lack of them is making me itchy

Not to be like "fantasy worlds can't have their own laws different from the real world" but isn't it still kinda really fucked up how easy it is to swap literal eyeballs in Naruto? The only character who has an actual scar from eyeball swapping is Kakashi. Madara, Obito, Nagato, Hanabi, and Toneri all do not. And we've even seen Hinata take Hanabi's eyes out of Toneri's fucking face and hold them in her hands like she was plucking grapes from a vine. What's going on with the eyeball anatomy of humans in the ninja world???

also. movie that takes place in virginiaaaaa <3 ok it only takes place in va because it was based on a true story but still. that's my state :)

fully back on my warrior clan bullshit prepare for me to Never Shut Up about warriorclan

(because they rlly said "kittypets in the old forest do warriors rp at recess" and just expected me to move on??? never)

i was genuinely So Hyped leading up to the salmon tree cat reveal. and then one of them said "what's a warrior" and all of my dreams were just crushed

it breaks my heart that we're never going to see warrior clan again in canon bc like. what other reason in the near future are the clans gonna take a trip to the old forest? they really expected us to forget about monkeystar and her gang?? i will never

the more i chew over the mercs trilogy from rvb14 the more i think my initial reaction to it was kind of a complete misread actually lol

i had to dig through some old posts to find where i talked about it but initially i approached/read it as showing a pivotal, critical moment in felix and locus's history where they tipped over the line from being This to being That, and in that regard, the episodes are definitely still super fun and charming and Good but they also fall very flat. what exactly was pivotal about that? honestly, not much unless you want to do an insanely close read with some reaching. i guess maybe the whole "surprise, guess we're down to do a ransom and also kill a guy" part but... not really? they definitely murdered n+1 people at the club and are not new to murderizing (eg. the "mason wu, trained killer of men" comment). that was not a moral high ground situation in any way and nothing about it really points to it being The Moment that something changed fundamentally.

but what it was, actually - and i feel silly that i didn't read it like this at first - was honestly just a show that felix and locus did actually come from a place of doing net positives at some point in their lives. and that's not something to be dismissed! the fact that they weren't terrible horrible no-good dirty rotten mercenaries from the day the left active service is really interesting! and the trilogy showcased all of that in a super fun and charming and Good way and sometimes the point is just to show that things used to be different.

I’m planning on making an incorrect summary of ibvs and this was one of the first ideas i had

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME I WAS BORED IN CLASS AND WASTED LIKE TWENTY PAGES OF MY NOTEBOOK BY SCRIPTING A "IBVS IN A NUTSHELL" THING

tags are just me being nostalgic

trying to write fake exerpts from jughead's world famous novel and having a normal one

RORY POND??????

The answer to a question at pub quiz last night was that bald fucker from the matrix and I, with full confidence, to the entire table of people I have just met, shouted "ITS MORBIUS."

You know though despite being how I am, I've never actually played a tiefling in dnd

Instead, I have played several furries. Which I think exhibits How I Am pretty well, actually

one time I read a canonverse fic where lwj called wwx “love” and I said NOOO HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT
