Look Star Trek Discovery is a BOP! For me at least. I’m watching it now and I gotta say as a Trek fan the little black girl in me be too turnt up when I watch it. The captain is black, a woman, AND named Michael. Bro I be in heaven enjoying this freaking show, I’m content just watching Michael Burnham breathe on my screen lol. Just because she IS her and she looks like me! I’m grown as hell but yeah a black, captain, named Michael, who IS Vulcan makes me happy and stuff. Representation really is an important thing out here huh? Also Sylvia Tilly and Hugh Culber are BAE AF honorable mentions. I LOVE THEM. Tilly is amazing and I’ve just straight up loved Wilson Cruz aka Dr. Hugh Culber since “My So Called Life” sue me lol.
And how is the eldest brother doing after the fall of another July?
| 🪶 | He is alive and recovering! Currently being cared for by his lovers, and will soon be waking up to see what has happened in the aftermath of the Event.
(That is to say, I’m working on a post for his waking up, and Nick is going to be looking after him. And possibly Meryl, too. ;] )
But honestly, once the mental ‘dust’ has settled, Vet’s going to be sad and upset for Greenie having had to endure all that happened. He was conscious long enough to ensure they had made it to a safe enough distance away from the explosion, witnessed July’s destruction, and then passed out from the blood loss.
It hurts him to know that July had to happen, again, to another version of himself. That stopping it had meant something else nearly unimaginable and possibly unspeakable could have resulted from diverting the tragedy. And, wherever Greenie is(trust me, he’s going to be checking in), he hopes he’ll be able to cope better than he, himself, ever did. That timeline was already so different… his hope is that his Meryl and Wolfwood find him, and he does not have to suffer alone with that pain.
Meanwhile Knife is having a midlife crisis and their timeline is off the rails!
anyone else not able to relate to fics where the reader is immune to the flirty character’s charms😭😭 like stfu i would fall for them stop making me seem like “i’m not like other girls”
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
