Waiting For This Moment

I love Star Trek, I love how every time a federation ship goes into the romulan neutral zone there is also immediately a romulan ship. Like girl, what were YOU doing in the neutral zone?

the way besides everything else data seems to take some sort of comfort in his "inability" to experience emotions because that way he can convince himself that whatever it is that is currently affecting him Cannot affect him, so he can compartmentalize it. because if he HAS emotions then he has to FEEL THEM and what are you even supposed to DO when your brother kills your dad? or when a child calls for help and you cannot answer? or when your daughter is being taken away and she dies in your arms, and she has barely lived and so much of her life was sadness? what do you do? how do you handle it? it's truly a blessing that you don't have to. it's fortunate that you do not have emotions. because if you did they would ruin you. It’s great that you don't. it's curious how you keep returning to them in your thoughts. maybe you need to run a diagnostic.

#jesus.#orpheus and eurydice#as a poem#using a poll#this is probably the greatest exploitation of mediums i have ever seen op#every reader has the chance to become part of the text by voting#not the subtext#the TEXT#and i love me some ephemeral works in concept#you had to be here for this one week#and then the text is locked#(barring any edits to the original post of course)#and i just think that's so beautiful#beauty springs from the simplest things viewed askew#and all you need is a poll that accepts long enough strings (via couchcrusader)

and then THE FINAL RESULT. where “look behind” came so so so close to winning, but “i trust that she is there” came out ahead by 0.1%. so maybe, maybe, we did it right this time. maybe this time we were able to save her.

i saw this post a while ago about how it’s common for former avid book readers to have burnt out and now solely read fanfiction because the characters and dynamics aren’t a new thing to assimilate, which i definitely relate to, but i also think there’s another component to it, which is divided in three parts: 1- there is no word limit for fanfiction; 2- the authors don’t have to worry about selling a good enough base story before getting to the details; 3- since we already know the general stuff about the characters, there’s more space to explore their psyche and thought processes in depth. this makes fanfiction an extremely rich method of storytelling – it’s not just about cause-consequence relations and sharing of information that is crucial to a story. it’s character analyses that stem from years-long observation; it’s different points of view on the essence of characters and nature of their interactions. it’s a raw portrayal that enables us to connect to the story and feel the relationships that make it in a way that is simply not possible when reading a material whose source is relatively finite. and idk i just think sometimes reading or writing fanfiction is seen as something fun but sorta immature. like we’re not ready for the real stories, when actually, the stories we have access to are often richer than anything you could get from a 250-page book.

I’m slowly beginning to accept the reality that 2007 was not last year but in fact almost four years ago

hate when people are like “haha careless whisper is the stupid meme song” like shut up he’s literally NEVER gonna dance again. and you dont even care.

i'm studying for the bechdel test but my teacher isn't very good and he isn't helping at all
