i am a panda and i am fine!

do you ever find yourself bedeviled by writing ideas that are the equivalent of finding a single carrot in your fridge. your brain goes "we should write a pirate story" or "we should write a parisian thief caper" and you ask, "all right, what do we cook with that, then?" and it says "no other ingredients (:"

speaking of, non sequitur is peak episode that only makes sense if it’s gay. harry’s like aur naur i’m trapped in an alternate timeline where i’m back on earth (the only place i’ve wanted to be for over a year) i think instead of enjoying my life here with my cushy job and beautiful fiancée i’m going to go find my boybestfriend and get him to help me get back to the timeline where we’re trapped together on a falling apart starship in the middle of nowhere. lol. meanwhile tom’s like this guy just bent me over a pool table i am ready to die for him

the funniest thing about that episode is that the writers obviously intended it to be about harry letting go of his life in the alpha quadrant but by having tom be representative of life on voyager and libby, his actual fiancée, be representative of his old life on earth which he is actively choosing to leave behind it makes the whole thing incredibly gay

also yeah harry absolutely mentions the pool table incident to tom as an offhand joke after getting back to the right timeline and tom spends the rest of his life thinking about it

the terrifying ordeal of being mediocre at a skill you have literally only just started practicing

"How do I stop being scared of-" You do it scared. The courage arrives WITH the action, not before it. Don't wait to feel confident before you act because the key to confidence is usually doing the thing while still scared as fuck

ive worn heart shaped glasses for almost 4 years and they are just like my Thing and i love them so much and so often people will say shit like Oh Id Love To Wear Something Like That But I Could Never Pull It Off and like... babe no one can theyre heart shaped glasses u dont wear them to look flattering or stylish or whatever u wear them to make ur soul happy

stop worrying about whether u look Nice and start worrying about whether u look like You

i didnt articulate it well so i just wanna clarify. the point of this post was not "fuck the haters wear what you want" it was "fuck the idea that clothes and accessories exist to make you look good they should exist to make you happy"

nimona is abt living in a surveillance police state where the only path to acceptance is conformity as a tool of oppressing those like you. it’s about how a privileged white woman afraid of imagined dangers can often be the greatest threat of all. it’s about how our nature is acceptance, but even a single moment of misinformed paranoia can give rise to lasting cycles of bias and abuse. it’s about how systems of belief will always find a way to validate the harm they inflict upon others, even if it means turning one child into a myth and the other to a monster. nimona is also. a film about a dancing pink shark in sunglasses

You ever been in a fandom with a big ship that makes you feel like you’re looking at one of those colour blindness tests and you’re failing, like idk what y’all are excited about it but I cannot fucking see it
